Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 41
Qiao repeatedly sent the things back into the laboratory.

The speed was so fast that even Gu Shao with such good eyesight couldn't see clearly.

"How is it sir?" She stood up and asked softly.

The old man cleared his throat, feeling the long-lost comfort, his eyes brightened, "It's much more comfortable, much more comfortable."

"That's good." Qiao Lian nodded, turned around, and stretched out his hands to Gu Ge.

The little girl didn't have much memory of this father, and she was writhing uncomfortably when she was suddenly pushed over.

Finally, Mother turned around and stretched out her hand, and she rushed over without hesitation.

Gu Shao let go of the little girl's two short legs helplessly.

"Cough, cough, cough."

The old gentleman coughed twice, frowned and said, "The comfortable feeling just now faded away, and I felt a little uncomfortable again, but it seems to be a little lighter than before."

"That's just a palliative effect. If you really want to cure the disease, you have to take the medicine." Qiao Lian said repeatedly.

Just now, she felt something was wrong when she heard the old man's voice outside the door, guessing that he might be suffering from bronchitis.

Once she kicked the door in and saw the old gentleman's appearance, she was sure.

It must be acute bronchitis.

In this era, medicine is underdeveloped, and many diseases may be misdiagnosed as other diseases. Chronic bronchitis is just uncomfortable, but acute bronchitis may induce pneumonia and cause death.

But Mr. Guan looks like he should not have pneumonia yet.

"Take medicine? I've been taking medicine for several days, but it doesn't get better, and it's getting worse." The old man sighed, "Maybe the old man's time has come, and I think it's time to go."

Qiao Lian sniffed the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air, and pursed his lips, "Sir, the medicine you took should be wrong, so don't take it in the future."

"If you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, you're going to die anyway, so why bother yourself with some bitter medicine." The old man waved his hand.

"What I mean is, don't take these medicines, but take the medicines I gave you." Qiao Lian put down Gu Ge and took two steps outside alone.

When she arrived at a place where she would not be seen, she took out the two plates of cephalosporins from the laboratory. She wanted to take them all out, but there were no medicine bottles at hand, so she only took out two or three doses of medicine in the end.

"Take this medicine three times a day, two pills a day, and you'll be fine after a few days." Qiao Lian put the medicine on the bedside of the old man.

Gu Shao's eyes were full of surprise.

This woman, not only does she cook delicious food, but she also treats people?

The old man didn't have any doubts, and sat up with difficulty, wanting to take the medicine immediately.

If this had been left in the past, he would definitely not trust others casually, but this lady is so powerful, she relieved his heart-wrenching pain in just a few strokes.

Anyway, he is an old man who is about to die, so why not try boldly.

Gu Cheng winked.

The stepmother had already paved the road to such an extent, he would be a fool if he stood still.

"Sir, take your medicine."

The little boy cleverly helped the old man up, and poured another cup of warm tea over.

The old man took the teacup with a gratified smile in his eyes.

After taking the medicine, he put down the teacup and straightened his waist, "I didn't plan to teach others anymore, but since you and I are destined, they once again made an exception and accepted you as a closed disciple. I hope you will study hard, don't worry." Let the old man down."

"Don't worry sir, the boy will definitely study hard." Gu Cheng immediately knelt down on the ground and offered a cup of tea.

This cup of tea is different from the previous ones, it is a respectful tea for teachers.

The old man took it with both hands, with a solemn expression, and drank the tea in one gulp.

Gu Cheng stood up and saw that the old man was still a little weak, so he helped him back to bed to rest.

"Ahem." The old man waved his hand, "I'm still not feeling well these two days, you should prepare some pens, ink, paper and inkstone first, and come back to school after two days when I feel better."

Gu Cheng shook his head, "Mr. is a teacher, a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of his life. When a father is sick, his son should be filial. Students will come to take care of Mr. in these few days until he recovers."

After saying this, Qiao Lianlian couldn't help applauding him from the bottom of his heart.

Thoughtful and full of grace.

The old gentleman nodded in relief, and did not refuse again, obviously acquiescing.

"Sir, this is my son's Shuxiu." Qiao Lian put three liang of silver on the bedside.

Qiao Lianlian was mentally prepared when he inquired with the owner of the dry goods store before. In this era, schooling is expensive, and so is training, especially private schools, which cost three taels of silver a semester.

Two or three.

An ordinary family of five spends three taels of living expenses on top of the sky for half a year, but it turns out that one person’s half-year repairs cost three taels, not including consumables such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

No wonder it is said that it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.

The tuition fee alone has killed many people.

Unexpectedly, the old gentleman shook his head, "I can't accept this money."

"I teach and educate people, so there is nothing wrong with confinement and repair, but you saved me again, so I should also pay the consultation fee. In this way, it will be offset." He said.

"This can't be offset. I just gave my husband some medicine, but he has to teach me all the time. Naturally, it's harder for him." Qiao repeatedly refused.

It's not that she is so generous that she treats three taels of silver as nothing.

It was because she had other thoughts in her heart - Gu Cheng has gone to school, and there are two children at home, wait a minute, Gu Lou's legs and feet are sharp, and they will be brought here together at that time.

Qiao Lianlian was also afraid that the old man would not accept any more, so how dare he give Shu Xiu less.

"That's how it is." The old man pondered for a moment, "I'm not a dead man. Some poor people only charge two taels of silver. I don't think you are rich in life, so let's count according to these two taels."

"Then I will trouble you, sir." Qiao thanked him again and again.

One child saves one or two taels, and three children is a full three taels of silver.

"Cough cough." The old man coughed a few more times, "It's getting late, you should go back early, you have bought all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones you should buy, and come to my place tomorrow."

The family of four slowly left the courtyard.

Before leaving, Qiao Lianlian deliberately dropped the latch from the inside in a clever way.

Thank goodness she didn't break anything with that kick.

……

Back at the market, Qiao Lianlian went to the only bookstore in the town, bought brushes and rice paper, and brought some copybooks.

Xiyang Town is a small place, and the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones are very rough.

But even so, Qiao Lian spent half a penny.

"You have to study hard, and you can't live up to this white money, understand?" She told her eldest son earnestly.

Gu Cheng nodded fiercely.

It was getting late, and the family of three returned to Gujia Village in a donkey cart.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the old house, the family of four got out of the ox cart when they saw a man walking around outside the old house with an anxious expression, circling back and forth.

Qiao raised his brows again and again, and rushed over with Gu Ge in his arms.

At this time, the man also saw them, rushed over in surprise, and shouted, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, go home and have a look, the milk is gone, the milk is going to die."
