The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 42 People rely on clothes
In the backyard of the trust store, there was Chief Zhang’s toffee. Accountant Sun stood aside just like the last time and only counted points.

Zhang Ku grew up to benefit, and asked the three of them to pack fifteen packages of old clothes in the waste warehouse.

Section Chief Zhang cleared the warehouse in the morning, and the pile of cotton he got out was also cheap for three people, and he filled a cart full of it.

Opening an order and paying the money, passing through Xiao Changgong's gate, the 33 yuan thing made the Zhao family brothers happy.

"If you talk about the door, go back to the village and don't talk about things in the city.

Especially the third child. "

After exhorting, Li Shengli and the two continued to go to Xiao's house in Banqiao Hutong.

With half a carload of cotton and fifteen bags of clothes newly arrived, I am not in a hurry to pick them out.

Leaving the Zhao family brothers to dry the damp bedding, Li Shengli returned to the courtyard on the Nanluo side with a big burden on his back.

"Li Shengli, do you have something to tell me..."

As soon as he entered the door, Li Shengli was horrified by the address of his old lady. What happened again?
"Mom, what are you saying?
You give pointers. "

Hearing Li Shengli's answer, Han Jinhua's eyebrows immediately raised.

"You've learned everything in the rivers and lakes, what are you talking about?
Where did so much food come from?

Where did these old clothes come from?

After all, it was picked, see if I smoke or not, and you're done! "

Staring at Li Shengli, who was carrying a heavy burden, Han Jinhua looked rather unfriendly.

Speculation is a serious crime, and it is considered a minor crime if you are caught. If you are shot, there is nowhere to complain.

"Mom, isn't my old brother Xiao Changgong the head of the security department of Beixinqiao Trust Store?
He found a relationship with him, collected the old clothes accumulated in the warehouse as tatters, and went to the village below to exchange for food.

I haven't had a chance to tell you about these two days. "

Li Shengli's explanation barely passed the test, and now life is difficult, and many people go to the village below to exchange food.

On Sundays, the children of Yan Lao San's family across the street often carry grain bags on their backs and go down to exchange stick noodles with the villagers for dried sweet potatoes.

Without such a channel, Yan Laosan's family is also unlucky with no food.

"You have quite a lot of old brothers, someday you will turn your father into your old brother, and call me old sister-in-law again.

Almost got it!
If you change your stutter, you can't see the big and the small. You can't justify it anywhere if you drive it home in a carriage.

I think Mrs. Jia is not suing you lightly. One day she will be dragged to shoot targets, let alone my son! "

Glancing at the old sister-in-law sitting opposite, Li Shengli didn't dare to answer. Hearing what the old sister-in-law said, the current scale is barely acceptable.

In the future, when sending food, we must also be optimistic about the timing, so as not to be sued by Mrs. Jia again.

"What are you standing there for?
Carrying is not tiring!
Put it down and go to the house to read a book, or your sister said it well, the industry is good at work and waste at play.

Don't go out to fool around recently. "

After wiping the eye drops on his sister, Li Shengli reluctantly dropped his burden and went back to the house.

When throwing the burden, I didn't take it easy, picked up the floating dirt on the ground, and let the old sister-in-law gouged it out hard.

Because the old sister-in-law was staring at her in the outhouse, Li Shengli could only quietly count 100 yuan from his satchel, and stuff it with the ticket into the old book that was placed on the top of the cabinet last night.

Then he stuffed Xiao Hu's army bag into the medicine box under the bed, and then sat on the bed to take a breath.

Time was running short, and Xiao Hu didn't have the time to count the tickets he had exchanged, so he had to leave them alone.

After reading the medical books for a while, Li Shengli looked at the main room with his head poking around after he had almost rested.

"Speak and fart, old men, don't be sneaky."

The old sister-in-law, who was packing up old clothes, had a very hot temper today. Li Shengli estimated that it was probably because the sticking of the paper boxes was not going well.

"Mom, I want to take the Zhao family brothers to take a bath tonight, and get a haircut and shave.

Early tomorrow morning, I plan to follow Master Liu to the village below to see if I can be a traveling doctor. "

Having said the purpose, Li Shengli felt a little uneasy, no matter if it was a mouth or a big neck, he didn't want to suffer.

"It's cheaper to let your dad buy bath tickets in the factory if you don't let the fart go early.

Go ahead, do you have enough money? "

Almost all the money in the family was given to her son before. When Han Jinhua said this, she felt a little guilty.

If the son opens his mouth, he can only use his money.

"That's enough, I also distributed 15 yuan in the morning. This is the money ticket you gave me last time, and I didn't spend a cent.

15 yuan in the morning, I will keep five yuan, okay? "

Looking at the money bills her son put on the square table, Han Jinhua sniffled and didn't speak any more.

"Don't treat yourself badly when you go out, take ten yuan with you.

You also have a brother-in-law in Tong County, who is 27 years old, similar to Shazhu, and also a bachelor.

Silly Zhu is really picky, your uncle is just a poor guy.

You have a good brain, think about it, if you can have a meal, around the end of the year, when your brother-in-law comes, I will tell him that no matter how poor you are, you have to ask for a daughter-in-law.

Don't even think about getting him into the city, your uncle is also a well-known lazy man and blind wanderer in all directions.

He has learned the craft of selling clothes that was taught at home, but he has not learned any virtues, so he is not a good product. "

After listening to his old mother Han Jinhua's entrustment, Li Shengli nodded, which was considered to be a promise.

As long as the character of the uncle in Tongxian County is not too bad, he will still have to help when the time comes. If he is an unreliable master, then let my mother handle it.

"Mom, I have to change my clothes. I don't know how to wear leggings. Can you teach me?"

It doesn't matter if you wear old-fashioned double-breasted clothes, just put them on, and narrow-leg pants don't look good without leggings.

Lord Liu in Zhima Hutong and Master Hai in Wali all wear leggings, but Li Shengli doesn't know how to do it.

"Wait, I have prepared two pairs for you, and put them on when you go on a long journey."

With that said, Han Jinhua got up and washed her hands before taking out two pairs of leggings. With a few words, she taught Li Shengli how to put on leggings.

There is only one degree of tightness when wearing leggings. If they are loose, they will fall off, and if they are tight, people can't bear it.

After learning it, Li Shengli put on the clothes and cotton shoes that his mother had packed in his baggage, and headed to Banqiao Hutong.

When we arrived at Banqiao Hutong, it was a waste of time.

The Zhao family brothers have just settled their accounts, and it is not worthwhile to take a bath now, and they have to wait until the next time they get rid of these old clothes before washing them.

Li Shengli didn't force it, so he could only go back home. He came to the Red Star Bath near the courtyard, and came to a full set of washing, soaking, pushing, holding, cutting, and scraping.

He changed into a double-breasted jacket that was still a little damp, put on the short leggings he usually used, and pressed the back of his head with the blue scalp shaved on both sides.

Li Shengli lit the cigarette that Liu gave him in the morning, and after smoking it beautifully, he returned to the courtyard with his changed clothes.

"This is a bit of a human appearance. If you put on a Chinese tunic suit, you will be the same as the cadres at the time when the land was divided.

Victory, study medicine hard, and let's try to wear Chinese tunic suits. "

During the years when the land was distributed, Han Jinhua was still a village woman digging through the soil, and it was very hard for her to take care of her three children.

Thinking of Father Li's decision to change the fate of the family, she also urged Li Shengli. If she really wants to become a Chinese medicine doctor, she can also wear a Chinese tunic suit and carry a pen.

"It's easy!
Mom, I'll go to Master Liu and ask him to prepare. "

Li Shengli's answer, in Han Jinhua's view, was nothing more than bragging, so he gave him a gouged look and said nothing more.

According to my mother, the old clothes that have been washed have not been worn, but to Li Shengli, they are new clothes.

Stepping on the new cotton shoes bought from the valley and wearing a new jacket, I feel that the world in my eyes is a little more colorful.

This kind of feeling can only be felt when I was young, when I changed into new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Revisiting this feeling, Li Shengli also felt turmoil in his heart.

Slowly walking to the door of Mr. Liu's house, it was still the old routine, knocking on the knocker to call the door, and entering the courtyard when the bell rang.

"Yo...

Man, it's not a lie that people rely on clothes. This way, you have the posture of a Chinese medicine apprentice.

Wait, Master Liu will add some clothes for you. "

After praising Li Shengli's attire, Master Liu still wouldn't let him in, turned around and went back inside.

After a sound of rummaging through boxes, Mr. Liu came out with two hats.

"Felt hats are from Shaoxing, the best kind, impervious to wind and snow.

This leather hat is a good thing. It is made of Hailong leather. It seems that it was bought by Dayang for 200 yuan back then.

You can't wear a top hat, and you don't dare to wear it, otherwise Master Liu will be fine.

Come try on the size, don't throw this leather hat away casually. "

After receiving the hats from Master Liu, both hats smelled of strong medicinal materials, and they were obviously treated to prevent insects and mildew.

Li Shengli tried it on, and found that the felt hat was just right, and the Hailong leather hat was a bit bigger.

"Master Liu, put away this sea dragon skin hat, it's too big.

I want this felt hat. "

Seeing that Li Shengli was not very knowledgeable, Master Liu gave him a blank look and said.

"This is the outfit I bought when I was preparing to go to the Northeast.

In Sijiu City, a fur hat is enough in winter, but not in the Northeast.

Those who wear felt hats inside, and when the time comes, tie a mink fur collar, and they will not be afraid of any wind and snow.

It's a pity that my mink fur coat was lost in exchange for the inheritance of my Liu family, and only these two hats are left.

This is my thought, and I will give it to you today. "

After listening to Master Liu's chatter, this old man must have been the second generation of the prodigal family back then, and this is both Diaoer and Hailongpi.

He also said that when he was young, he lived in Bada Hutong all the year round, and when he was old, he picked up quack doctors for a living.

To be able to leave Master Liu and this small courtyard, plus the inheritance of the Liu family in his mouth, it is considered that his ancestors have accumulated virtue for eight generations.

Li Shengli, who had nothing to give in return, remembered the fur coat he picked up today.

"Master Liu, today I bought a few coats. I don't know if the lining is raccoon or lynx. Let me show you?"

Hearing Li Shengli's reply, Master Liu narrowed his triangular eyes and said.

"I'm a bit cold, when I come back this time, bring me a leather vest.

There is a bamboo medicine box at the entrance of Nanbaozuo, yours, take it home and familiarize yourself with the medicinal materials inside.

Leaving early tomorrow morning? "

Li Shengli came here for nothing. Seeing that he was changing clothes and shaving his face again, Master Liu knew that he was about to go out for a doctor's visit.

"Yes, I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

After setting a time, Li Shengli left with the bamboo medicine box given by Master Liu, and stopped at Banqiao Hutong on the way.

He made an appointment with the Zhao brothers, and Xiao Hu wanted to follow, but Li Shengli refused.

Now Xiao's sister-in-law, Zhang Ying, is recovering. With the help of Sister Feng this time, she may be able to recover more than half of her recovery when she comes out of the Army General Hospital.

The treatment and recuperation of qi and blood deficiency takes time, and Zhang Ying's severe illness, which is close to death, is difficult to recover without a few years of recuperation.

Dong Shi is a master, and he threw Zhang Ying to Li Shengli as a ready-made lesson plan.

After qi deficiency is alleviated, treat blood deficiency, balance the five qi, and then continue to treat qi deficiency.

Going round and round, I don't know how many courses of treatment there will be and how much homework will be left.

There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time. As the only son who wanders at home, Xiao Hu still needs to accompany the bed.

Back at home in the courtyard house, I assigned homework to my younger siblings, and the three brothers and sisters hung up a full picture of muscles and bones in the house.

Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were well-behaved, Li Shengli gave another two yuan to each of them and asked them to buy Guwenguanzhi by themselves.

Li Shengli also helped them with the four dollars and filed a record in front of his old mother Han Jinhua. If they sneaked to the bottom, the two would probably be beaten.
