After eating and drinking enough, Zhou Zhoulang went to wash and change into new clothes, and then he told Zhou Man about Uncle Shi's family, "They live in the yard we rented, and I'll let them go to the medical office to see you tomorrow? "
Zhou Man nodded in response and asked, "Are they going to live here forever?"
"Yeah, the disease must be cured," Zhou Lang said, "They sold all their property in Luojiang County. If you ask me, it would be good to live directly in Qingzhou. Luojiang County has no land or house. Going back is just a matter of time." It's just a matter of provoking right and wrong."
Bai Shan asked: "Does Uncle Shi still gamble?"
Zhou Zhoulang thought for a while and shook his head, "Don't gamble, he's been very honest along the way. It's been a month since we met, and I haven't seen him gamble again."
He always heard people say that gambling is addictive, but before he had time to become addicted, his dreams were shattered and his ass was smashed. Since then, he has never liked gambling again. He thinks that if he quits it for a month, he will quit.
But Bai Shan knows that people who are addicted to this thing, let alone a month, a year, or even ten years, once exposed to it, they will relapse and then get out of control.
But Uncle Shi is an outsider after all, he can't care too much, he just said: "It's fine for him to stay here, I handle everything impartially, I have cleaned up the casinos in Beihai County, if he hangs out there to attract people to gamble, I'm not being affectionate."
Zhou Zhoulang was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "I want to take him with me."
Zhou Man was surprised, "Going to sea?"
Zhou Zhoulang nodded, and said to the two of them: "Uncle Shi can read and write, and he has a good eye. To be honest, he has no other problems except that he always loses face and likes to gamble."
This time, Zhou Zhou Lang and Uncle Shi walked together, and he felt that as long as he didn't want to gamble, his mind was still normal, and he was much smarter than him, with a good vision, and he was even better at lowering prices than him.
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhou Man and said, "Fourth Brother, just make up your mind."
Zhou Zhoulang smiled and said: "Then you can show his son tomorrow if he can be cured. If he can be cured, there is still hope. Then I will ask him to go out and make money together."
Uncle Shi's family was very worried. If even Zhou Man said it was incurable, then no one could cure the disease.
Zhou Man asked them to wait in the corridor first, and after seeing the patients in line, he brought Zheng Gu over, "Master Shi."
Uncle Shi looked at Zhou Man who had grown up, and he could hardly tell that she was the little girl back then. He hurriedly saluted, then dragged his son up and said, "This is my kid, Zhou... Mr. Zhou, what do you want?" He looks."
Zhou Man nodded, took them into the consulting room, took his pulse carefully, looked at his tongue coating, and asked about the process and manifestations of the disease.
Seeing her frowning and not speaking, Uncle Shi swallowed nervously and asked, "Master Zhou, can it be cured?"
Zhou Man thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it will not be easy to cure completely. But I can alleviate the symptoms, so that he can live like a normal person. In the end, he probably won't need to take medicine. Don’t overwork yourself, so you can live a safe life.”
Uncle Shi's heart fell, and he said excitedly: "This is enough, this is enough."
Mrs. Shi also nodded again and again, thinking that this is all right.
The two looked at each other, and they both let out a long sigh of relief, and the corners of their eyes were wet.
Shi Xiaolang was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. This means, can he be cured
In his view, this is almost like a cure.
With Zhou Man's promise, Uncle Shi planned to live in Beihai County.
After Zhou Man's relationship, he went around Beihai County, and finally bought a small courtyard in the east of the city for sixty taels.
Five rooms are enough for their family of three, and the yard is not small, and there is a piece of land in the back, about three minutes, where you can grow some fruits and vegetables.
He left the remaining forty taels to his wife and children, and said to them: "I have made an agreement with Zhou Zhoulang. I will go to sea with him and go back and forth to get wages. If I am lucky enough to find good goods, I can return them. You can earn a little more, you take this money, counting the money you need, it should be enough for a year."
The medicine prescribed by Zhou Man is not very expensive. Acupuncture and moxibustion are free of charge, and the monthly cost of medicine is only about 600 yuan, plus food and drink. Because Shi Xiaolang needs nutrition, he has to eat meat and eggs. One or two months is enough.
Forty taels is actually enough for two years of living expenses, but there are always accidents, so he calculated more.
Uncle Shi said to Shi Xiaolang: "You keep the money. Your mother will ask you for money when she needs it. I'm not at home. Take care of yourself and your mother."
Shi Xiaolang looked up at his father, and saw that his spirit was much better than before, the most important thing was that his eyes were clear, not cloudy like before when he was addicted to gambling.
He paused slightly and nodded.
Uncle Shi continued to advise: "If you encounter something that cannot be resolved, you can go to the county government or the medical office to ask Mrs. Zhou. We are from the same town, and the two families still have some friendship. She will help you."
Shi Xiaolang agreed.
Uncle Shi was relieved to go to Longchi with Zhou Zhoulang.
Longchi has changed a lot. Houses have sprung up one after another. The streets are spacious and tidy. The shops on the two main streets have basically been built, and there are still many under construction.
At this time, there are many business travelers in Longchi. Some shops on the street have already opened, but most of them are stalls, especially those selling food, which are basically stalls.
Liu Gui, who led them the way, took Zhou Zhoulang directly to one of the shops, opened the door and said, "Fourth Uncle, this is the shop that the lady ordered for the Zhou family. There is still a place to live, but…”
Zhou Zhoulang looked at the empty shop and said, "I know, there are not enough rooms. Is there an inn near here?"
"Yes, but there are a lot of business travelers at the moment, and the inns that are open are full of people. But it doesn't matter, Master Tang has a separate courtyard here. The family has greeted Master Tang, and uncle can live there first." Liu Gui Mainly to lead Zhou Zhoulang over to look at the shop.
Then he turned and went up the hill to the other courtyard.
There is a courtyard in the side door, which is convenient for them to enter and exit, and it is enough for them to live in. Standing on the hillside, Zhou Zhoulang saw the sea in the distance. Hearing the sound of crashing waves, he said in surprise: "The sea is so big. ah?"
"Yes, I heard from my wife and the master that the sea in this world is bigger than all the land combined."
Zhou Zhoulang: "Is it a lie? How can the sea be bigger than the land?"
Liu Gui also felt that the lady and the master were deceived by the book. After all, what was written in the book was not necessarily true, but they were the master, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only smile foolishly at Lang Zhou.
