Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

The old doctor then went to get an oil lamp, turned An Nian's eyes over and looked at him, then pried open his mouth and took a look.

He quickly took out a cloth bag from the medicine box. In the bag were rows of silver needles. The old doctor took out a silver needle and held it to the oil lamp to burn it.

At this time, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren standing nearby were extremely anxious, but they could not help much and could only wait quietly.

The medicine boy came in with a basin of warm water. An Yue rolled up her sleeves, reached out to pick up the cloth in the basin, wrung out the water, and gently wiped An Nian's forehead, face, and hands.

From time to time, An Nian murmured softly: "Sister...Sister will not die..."

After hearing this, An Yue leaned over and whispered in An Nian's ear to comfort him, "Sister is here! Be good, Nian Nian, sister will be with you..."

An Yue was wiping his hands, when suddenly, An Nian grabbed An Yue's hand and held it tightly.

The old doctor frowned and asked, "Is this child frightened?"

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren nodded.

The old doctor said to Anyue: "You are his sister, so call him more often in his ear and comfort him."

An Yue whispered in An Nian's ear: "Niannian... Niannian, be good... your sister is with you, don't be afraid..."

The old doctor warmed up the silver needles and said to the father and son standing beside him: "I am going to give him the acupuncture now. You must hold him down and don't let him move."

After saying that, the old doctor began to give acupuncture.

Acupuncture was performed on many acupuncture points. An Nian twisted his head and still murmured in a daze: "Sister...sister..."

At this moment, An Nian's eyes trembled, as if he was struggling to open them.

An Yue whispered in his ear, "Niannian... open your eyes and look at your sister."

At this time, An Nian's red and swollen eyes opened slightly.

Seeing his sister by his side, his panicked expression gradually calmed down, and he whispered, "Sister, it turns out you are okay."

Then the medicine boy brought a bowl of brown medicine, and the old doctor asked An Yue to feed it to An Nian.

The medicine smelled very bitter. An Nian took a sip and said with some resistance: "It's so bitter! I don't want to drink it!"

"Every year, good medicine tastes bitter, and only after drinking it will the body get better."

An Nian was quite obedient and drank it down obediently.

After feeding her the medicine, An Yue asked, "Niannian, tell me what happened? Why did your aunt hit you?"

When An Nian heard his sister's question, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes again.

"She said her parents were dead and her sister would die soon. She also called Niannian a pathetic creature. Then Niannian got angry and bit her."

"You bit her?"

An Nian blinked and said "hmm".

"How did she hit you?"

"She kicked Nian Nian in the stomach first, then kicked her whole body..."

After hearing this, Jiang Chenghai gnashed his teeth in anger and said viciously: "This vicious woman!!!"

The old doctor lifted the quilt that wrapped An Nian and saw bruises all over his body, which made him shake his head.

"Ah... poor child, how can an adult have the heart to do that to him?"

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had very solemn expressions, but did not say anything.

The old doctor wrote down the prescription and said, "Take this prescription and go to the pharmacy to get the medicine!"

Jiang Chenghai took the medicine and walked towards the pharmacy.

After the acupuncture, An Nian's face and hands were wiped continuously with warm water. He also drank a bowl of fever-reducing medicine. An Nian's high fever had subsided slightly.

The old doctor said, "The child has a fever because he was too frightened. In addition, he cried for too long, and the cold air invaded his spleen. Now that the high fever has subsided, there is nothing serious. Go home and take good care of him. He will recover in a few days."

After hearing what the old doctor said, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren finally felt relieved.

"I will prescribe a few more prescriptions for you to take home and boil over low heat. Take them regularly for a few days and you will be fine."

"As for the wounds on your body, I will prescribe some ointment to apply on them."

An Yue quickly stood up, bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, doctor!"

An Yue went to pay for the consultation and spent three taels of silver.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren thanked the old doctor again, and then the uncle carried An Nian on his back, and Anyue held the oil lamp, and they walked back home.

It was almost midnight on this cold winter day and the world was already quiet.

When I got home, my grandmother was still awake and was sewing a fur coat for An Nian and An Yue under the oil lamp.

When my grandmother saw them coming back, she immediately put down her needlework and stood up excitedly.

"You are finally back. What did the doctor say? Are you injured?"

Grandma picked up An Nian and asked them.

"Grandma, the doctor said that it's fine now. We should keep an eye on the fever and see if it comes back. He prescribed a few medicines and told us to simmer them over low heat and give them to An Nian on time. He will be cured in a few days."

"The doctor also prescribed ointment for the wounds on my body."

"Okay, okay...that's good!" After hearing this, the grandmother felt relieved.

She reached out and touched An Nian's forehead to make sure that he was no longer feverish, and said, "Niannian, are you hungry?"

An Nian nodded.

So, grandmother Zheng handed An Nian to grandfather, and she got up to go to the kitchen to serve the meal.

The grandparents and grandchildren were already tired, hungry and sleepy. They hurriedly ate and washed their feet.

While washing her feet, An Yue said, "Grandfather, uncle, you should go and have some rest first. We have to get up early tomorrow to deliver the fish to the restaurant."

The uncle said, "Yueyue, your grandfather and I will go tomorrow, you stay at home and take good care of Nian Nian!"

An Yue looked at An Nian lying on the bed. She had to take care of An Nian all night and would definitely not be able to get up tomorrow.

If An Nian had a fever again after she went to the town, and she was not by his side, if An Nian started crying, her grandmother would not be able to comfort him.

"That's okay!"

Then, they went to bed.

In the second half of the night, An Nian cried several times. Every time he fell asleep, he seemed to be awakened by a nightmare and cried for his mother.

Sometimes when he turned over in his sleep, the wounds on his body would hurt and he would cry in pain.

An Yue had no choice but to hold An Nian in her arms, and only then did An Nian fall asleep peacefully.

An Yue woke up from a drowsy sleep, touched An Nian's neck, and found that he was sweating and his clothes were soaked.

An Yue climbed out of bed carefully, afraid of accidentally waking up her grandparents. She tiptoed to get a piece of underwear from the closet and changed An Nian into it.

She hugged An Nian and continued to sleep. In her dream, she vaguely heard the sound of her grandfather and uncle moving water buckets. Only when they drove the ox cart to the town one after another did An Yue fall asleep peacefully.

I woke up and didn't know what time it was, but it was already daybreak.

After getting up, An Yue prepared to go to the kitchen to make medicine for An Nian. As soon as she got out of bed and walked out of the house, she found her grandmother sitting under the eaves sewing fur coats for them.

When the grandmother saw An Yue getting up, she smiled and asked, "Yue Yue is awake?"

An Yue yawned, rubbed her eyes and said, "Hmm... Grandma, what time is it?"

"It's already noon. You've been taking care of Nian Nian all night. I guess you must be very sleepy now, right?"
