Chapter 12

Early the next morning, Tang Mingyuan was called away by sick people in the brigade, and Su Su and Tang Bao went to town in the brigade's ride (musle cart).

The captain drove the car himself. He was going to the commune in the town for a meeting. He also went with four small captains and a few women, chattering non-stop along the way.

When the mule cart came to the town, because they heard that a couple was criticized and educated for getting too close, everyone kept their faces straight and kept silent, for fear of being judged as wrong.

Su Su used the excuse of coming to the hospital to buy medicines, and the team leader parked the mule cart not far from the hospital, looked at their mother and daughter and said solemnly: "Comrade Su Su, we have to go back around eleven o'clock, wait for you Can you wait at the gate of the commune?"

When you are in the village, you can still call sister-in-law, sister, etc., but when you come to the town, if you call like that, there may be red armbands saying that you are a hooligan or backward in thinking.

Su Su quickly responded, and seeing the mule cart leaving, she took her daughter to the other side: "Mom will take you to eat delicious food."

There are a lot of people on the street, and all kinds of natural and fresh food aromas such as buns and steamed buns in the shop are blowing out in the wind, making people even hungrier.

Su Su was very familiar with the town, so she quickly found a small shop, and there were not many people there. After all, the price was too expensive.

Su Su ordered two bowls of small wontons. A bowl of wontons cost [-] cents. Apart from the green green onion, there was also a bit of fragrant lard residue on it, which was so fragrant that people could swallow their tongues.

Although Tang Bao ate a little slowly, he looked extraordinarily refined and good-looking instead of wolfing down like others.

In her memory, in order to prevent high blood pressure, cholesterol, let alone lard, she didn't even like to eat fatty meat, she would rather eat beef, fish and shrimp.

Thinking about it now, I really envy such a beautiful day...

The mother and daughter ate wontons, took the tickets that were about to expire, and went to a nearby grocery store to buy a pack of sesame stick maltose and a pound and a half of hard candy. Let’s go to the Su family’s mansion and see if there are any people living in the former woodshed.

They are also afraid of attracting attention today, so they wear clean but mended clothes and pants.

The Su family used to be a quadrangle courtyard with two entrances. Su Su was forced to leave when she was 20 years old, and now it has become a large courtyard.

At this time, all those who have jobs have gone to work, and most of those who stay at home are elderly people. They bought radishes, potatoes, wild vegetables, grains, etc. from grocery stores or vegetable stands, and took them home to prepare lunch. .

Some people also said carelessly in a showing off tone: "Today, the pork in the non-staple food store is [-] cents a catty. I got up in the middle of the night to queue up, because my grandson wants to eat meat."

"My family's meat coupons have been used up, so I can only try my luck over there..."

Su Su returned to her former home, with mixed emotions in her heart. She took her daughter to avoid the crowded road and came to the remote alley that was piled up in a mess. Occasionally, she met two people and saw their mother and daughter dressed neatly and calmly. Walking slowly, I thought it was someone's relative, but gave me a smiling face instead.

As Tang Bao was walking, he realized that his legs and feet were becoming more agile again. He whispered to Su Su, and the two quickened their pace.

The Su family used to have two firewood houses, and the location must be relatively remote. When their mother and daughter came to the green brick firewood house, they saw that the larger one on the left was locked with a copper lock, and the one on the right was short and small. The door of the room was ajar, and there was a thin boy at the door, wearing a thin and loose green shirt and black trousers, squatting and cooking something in a small pot supported by several stones, and there was a strong smell of medicine.

"Hello, little comrade," Tang Bao said now that he had recovered. He naturally wanted to say something more while speaking quickly. He stepped forward and showed a sweet smile to the sallow and thin boy who was looking at him vigilantly: "My mother and I came to look for Comrade Wu Ren (no such person), does he live here?"

"There is no such person, you are looking in the wrong place," the boy stood up, only about 1.6 meters, although his face was yellow and thin, his eyes seemed to be bright, but with haze.

It's been a long time since Lou Yi saw someone smile at him beautifully. Seeing the gentle smile on her fair and tender face, her almond eyes are distinct in black and white, so clear that they almost glowed blue, he was embarrassed to look at her again.

Tang Bao was talking nonsense, bit his lips in disappointment when he heard this, and said in a low voice embarrassedly: "Thank you, comrade, can you give us a bowl of tea? My mother is very thirsty."

"Oh, wait a minute." The room was in a mess, and Lou Yi was embarrassed to let them in. Besides, he felt that he was a man, and if he was with a woman, it would be bad if he was said not to pay attention to the social atmosphere.

Seeing him go in, Su Su asked in a low voice, "It seems that it's inconvenient for us to go in? Let your dad come next time."

They all thought that there were other men in the room, which was why it was inconvenient for Tang Mingyuan not to come together.

"I just think there's something here that attracts me," Tang Bao looked at her with sly eyes and said in a low voice, "He's brewing medicine. There must be sick people at home. Mom, it's up to you."

Su Su pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at her daughter, but she really wanted her to get better.

Yang Yi quickly came out with a bamboo knot and handed it to Su Su. Su Su took it with both hands and said softly, "Thank you, little comrade."

The large coarse porcelain bowls in his home were all cracked, so he washed the bamboo joints and filled them with tea in desperation, but he was a little at a loss when he saw her take the tea with both hands and thanked him earnestly: "No, you're welcome, this boiled water is clean. Yes, I burned it before I boiled the medicine."

Seeing that he used a pot to cook medicine, Su Su was a little speechless, so that what he cooks in a pot in the future will also smell like medicine, but it also shows that he only has this pot at home.

She took two small sips, then handed the tea to Tang Bao, looked at him and said softly: "Little comrade, I see that you have Zheergen and purslane in it, does someone have a fever? If this If it's serious, you'd better add some perilla and prunella."

When Yang Yi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he moved his mouth, but he hesitated and didn't speak.

Tang Bao took a sip of tea, looked at him and said earnestly: "My family used to run a medical clinic, and now my mother is also a doctor. If you are sick, it is best to prescribe the right medicine to avoid delay."

"I..." Yang Yi looked at them anxiously, blushing with embarrassment: "I have no money now."

Afraid that they would leave, he hurriedly said: "My name is Yang Yi, and I will definitely send it to you when I have money in the future."

He thinks that she can speak so clearly, she must be really capable, right?Besides, I can't do anything about it, I'm afraid that my younger brother's high fever will not subside, and I will be stupid.

Su Su didn't refuse, and followed him in.

Several green bricks framed the plank bed. Under the unfinished sheets on the plank bed, straw was exposed. The blue coarse quilt had been washed white, and looked a bit flimsy.

Lying on the bed was a little boy who was also sallow and thin, his eyes were closed, his face was flushed, and he looked really uncomfortable.
