struggle in ancient times

Sitting behind the bullock cart, Liao Tingyu winked at Liao Shi.

Liao Shi knew that he was showing off. It was the first time he saw such a childish second brother, and he felt pretty good.

When they arrived at the hospital, Liao Tingyu settled the people and gave the doctor a tael of silver. Originally, the doctor would not accept it. Although Liao Tingyu had never met the doctor, the doctor had seen him, and his son was in his house. Read in class.

When Deng heard that the doctor didn't want money, she quickly gave the second child a wink and told him to put away the money.

But what about the result?Liao Tingyu said solemnly: "I teach children to read because I am their teacher. This is what I should do, and you also paid for the school tuition. If I come to see a doctor today, I should also give you This fee. I hope the doctor will not refuse."

Seeing the round silver falling into the doctor's hands, Deng's eyes were red with anxiety.

She really wanted to reach out to get the money back by herself, but she was jealous of her husband and son.

It's okay to be thick-skinned, but this husband and son are people with a good face.

She is a woman, so she can't do anything like her grandfather outside.

However, those eyes followed the silver uncontrollably.

Maybe he felt that he was useless outside, and it only added to his heartache, so he turned and went back to the inner hall of the pharmacy.

Looking at the eldest son lying on the bed, I felt angry again, all because of this disappointment, one tael of silver can buy dozens of catties of polished rice, a few better cloths and dozens of catties of fat and fat meat up.

Seeing that he finally had some money in his hand, he spent it like this without any sound of water.

Thinking about it, Deng's eyes filled with grievance.

Since I married into Liao's family, I haven't had a good life. Finally, my husband worked in the town proudly for a few years, but because the eldest son hit the family's baby bump, he lost everything in a low voice and lost his job. The gossip woman sneered, and once returned to the pre-liberation.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law don't like her either, and they don't help her when the second child is born. After the second child is admitted to Qingshan Academy, she can finally straighten her back, but people always talk bad things about the second child, always saying that the second child failed the exam. rise.

She became cruel, didn't she say that my second child can't afford the exam?I am poor even if I eat dirt, I have to give him up.

Facts have proved that she is right, now who does not know that her son is a scholar.

Sitting aside, Mrs. Deng recalled her past, while Liao Shi and Wen Xiu'er held each other's hands and did not speak.

Liao Shi watched Deng's crying and laughing, and quickly signaled Wen Xiu'er to go and see what was going on.

Wen Xiu'er was a little apprehensive, after all, her mother-in-law didn't like her very much.

If this disturbed her thoughts, she didn't know what trouble would happen.

But it doesn't matter if you don't ask about it, and she can't escape when she settles the old score in the future.

She shook her head at Liao Shi, very embarrassed.

After thinking about it, Liao Shi knew her concerns, so he pulled her back understandingly, and decided to ask her himself.

"Aniang, what's wrong with you? Is there something you're not happy about? Are you worried about the money? When I get well, I'll go to the town to buy more tofu skins, and try to earn back the money for the doctor's treatment as soon as possible. Don't you I'm going to be sad!" Liao Shi said with his head sideways.

Mrs. Deng turned her head to look at her eldest son lying on the bed, still very worried in her heart, and said forcefully, "It's okay if you know this, it means you are a conscientious one. You didn't see that your younger brother gave that to you today." The doctor paid a whole tael of silver. The money has been handed over, and you will know how difficult it is to get it back. It’s all because you, a worthless fellow, have come to town to see you after such a little injury. Your brother loves you so much."

As he spoke, he wiped away the tears from his eyes, and turned his body on his back so that his son would not see him.

Liao Shi was too embarrassed to say anything.

Mrs. Deng was still waiting for her son to come to comfort her, but the prodigal son actually went back to his quilt without saying a word. What is the use of being born?This annoying thing.

Liao Shi obviously felt that Deng Shi was even more unhappy, and he didn't know where he had provoked him.

The whole person sat foolishly on his own bed, buried his head like an ostrich.

After negotiating with the doctor, Liao Tingyu walked into the back room: "Mother, brother, sister-in-law, my father and I just told the doctor that he will prescribe some medicines for you later, and then you stay here for a half day, and wait After class, I will make arrangements with you."

No matter how uncomfortable Deng felt, seeing her son felt at ease.

She is still thinking about the silver.

After all, the medicine hasn't been prescribed yet, and you have to pay a tael of silver just to get a room.

She quietly pulled Liao Tingyu, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, you just gave the doctor so much money, is it enough? How much do we charge to live here? Prescribe a few medicines, he Did you tell me?"

Liao Tingyu knew Deng's hidden meaning, and still followed her words and said: "Don't worry, mother, this money is enough, and I should order several copies. He said that he will see the wound on the head of the elder brother later, and he will give it to you." Bandage it. After all, there is a hole in the head, and it is easy to get a headache. However, the doctor’s child is my student, and you know it, and he said he would give us a cheap price. "

When Deng heard that the doctor could give them a better deal, he felt a little comforted.

Liao Tingyu turned his head to Liao Ming and said: "Father, Auntie, we all got up early today and ate too early. I think we will get hungry sooner today. How about..."

Mrs. Deng could completely predict what his second child would say next, and she frowned tightly.

Liao Tingyu is also a person who can read words and expressions, he stopped what he was saying, and turned a corner: "I will go to the school in a while and see if the chef has any steamed buns left."

Hearing this, Deng's frowning brows slowly relaxed. "Can the steamed buns from the school be brought out?"

Liao Tingyu nodded, it can be brought out, but few people would do it.

Deng said worriedly: "Will this be bad? After all, you are also a teacher now, and many people in that school are either rich or noble. They should not be used to such behavior."

Liao Tingyu looked at Mrs. Deng, who is rare to be so sensible in terms of money, and said, "Then I'll go to the big lady on the street to buy some big steamed buns, and it won't cost you a few copper coins. I remember that a copper coin seems to cost Two, and then ask the doctor to boil a few pots of hot water for you, so you can drink it."

After thinking about it for a while, Deng felt that she was still reluctant: "I don't think it's a problem. It's okay to be hungry for an hour or two. After all, I ate in the morning."

Liao Shi also nodded. Although he ate early this morning and ate late in the past, he often couldn't eat lunch until after noon due to his busy schedule.

Liao Ming also felt that the money spent today was a bit too much, and there was no need to spend money on this trivial matter.

He looked at his second son and said, "You haven't been very hungry since you were a child. When you get to the school, go over there and get some good steamed buns to eat. You don't have to worry about the few of us. Father and Mother know what to do." Arrangement. It's getting late now, hurry up, it's not good to be late."
