Xue Baishu returned to the backyard with the dim sum, and saw his Ah Mei digging in the small garden in the backyard again, he hurriedly put the dim sum on the stone table, walked over and snatched the garden hoe from his Ah Mei's hand, saying: " Ah, Dad let you rest, and you ran to dig while Dad was out. Sit down and rest."
"Hey, it's okay, I just dug for a while. I've been lying down for a long time, so I have to come out and move around. This man, if you don't move for a while, the more you lie down, the more lethargic you become." Ye Man stood up, clapped his hands, and told his son Help him to sit down at the stone table.
There was a thin layer of fine sweat on his forehead, his face was very white, his lips were pale, and he looked sickly and pale.
"Just digging for a while, you are already sweating. You want to plant medicinal herbs, and your son will plant them for you, so you can rest well, ah? You have been working hard for decades, and your father said that you are overworked, and you will not come back to Tongshan. I just want you to take a good rest, you are good, but you can't rest." Xue Baishu asked his servant to bring water to wash his hands, and he took a towel to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead.
Ye Man took the towel, wiped it up by himself, and smiled, "It's so weak. I know my own body, how can you be like your father, the husband has been nagging like this before he gets married, who is the brother? dare to marry you."
Xue Baishu didn't care, and said, "I care about myself, how can I be called nagging. Come on, wash your hands."
Ye Man washed his hands, looked at the two bags on the stone table with the word 'Yu Ji' printed on them, and asked, "What is this?"
Xue Baishu didn't dare to tell him that he knew that someone came to see a doctor. If he found out, he would definitely disregard his own body.
"Oh, this, I asked people to buy dim sum from the street." He made an excuse at random. Anyway, he liked dim sum, and Ah Mei would not doubt it.
Ye Man took the cloth towel to wipe his hands, and said, "Oh, then you can eat quickly. I haven't been back for a long time. I don't know what has changed on the street. When I feel better, I'll go out for a walk."
As Xue Baishu opened the dim sum box, he said, "I went out yesterday to check it out, and the changes have been quite big. In particular, there are so many people on Nanbei Street, which is more prosperous than before. Ah, why don't you try this dim sum too? ."
"I don't like sweet food, you can eat it yourself." Ye Man shook his head and said.
Saying that, Xue Baishu had already opened the snack box, and there were a total of five small snacks in it, each of which was different.
His eyes lit up, he took a piece of dessert that looked like a flower and said to him, "Ah, look, it looks like a flower, can you taste it?"
"Ouch, this dessert is very nice." Ye Man was surprised by the delicately shaped dessert. The dough was covered with dark red fillings in the middle of the white five petal-like dough, which was very beautiful. of.
"Yeah, try this flower, I eat this soft, and it seems to be filled with stuffing." Xue Baishu handed the flower to him, and took a round white dumpling and took a bite. .
The glutinous dough was filled with crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. It was sweet and fragrant. Xue Baizhu couldn't stop nodding, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he ate the remaining half at once.
The taste is delicate and sweet, the taste of this snack is great!
"It's delicious." Ye Man tasted the petal-like dessert in his hand and praised it. He turned over the shell of the gift box and looked at it, "Yu Ji? I haven't heard of it before, I guess it's a new one. Yes, not those time-honored brands."
"The last time we came back was nine years ago, and we haven't stayed for a few days. I don't know how many new dim sum shops have opened." Xue Baishu said, and took another browned dim sum to eat.
After taking a bite, he opened his eyes wide, looked at the cross section of the dim sum, and followed him, "Ah, look, there are two kinds of stuffing in it, one is on the side, and it seems to taste like bean paste and lotus seeds."
Seeing that his son was having a good time, Ye Man asked with a smile, "It suits your taste?"
Xue Baishu nodded and said, "It tastes good and looks good. It's called Yuji, right? Next time I go to the store to see, maybe there are many other desserts."
He thought about the brother who gave him the dim sum and said, it seems that this is the dim sum made by their own shop
"Aren't you going to visit the pharmacy with your dad today?" Ye Man usually doesn't like sweets, so he ate a piece of dessert slowly, thinking that his son said he wanted to go out in the morning, but now he was attracted by this snack, he was afraid He delays business.
Xue Baishu nodded. His father wanted to open a pharmacy in the city. They were checking the situation. He said, "Well, I'll go after I finish eating. At noon the day after tomorrow, Master Luo invites us to have lunch together, will you go?"
"Master Luo? Oh, the third son of the Minister of Rites?" Ye Man thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, he is now the county magistrate here. Didn't my father take the bones for him before, and you saw him again. When I heard that we were back, you sent invitations to invite us to dinner. Would you like to go?"
Ye Man shook his head and said, "Go on, I don't like to join in the fun."
"Okay. Then I'm going out. Stop digging." Xue Baishu replied.
Ye Man nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, let's go."
Xue Baishu took out a snack and put it in his mouth, then put away the snack box, kept it back to continue eating, and then went out.
On the other hand, before Brother Le and Brother Chang went back, they went to the cloth shop to pull a piece of cloth back. The excuse they came out to find was to buy cloth.
In the Jufu Building, Yu Qingze didn't have a happy expression when he saw Brother Le come back so quickly, probably because he didn't see Mrs. Ye.
He said, "Brother Le, grandpa is here, in the backyard."
When Brother Le heard that his grandfather had arrived, he hurried to the backyard. This is what he asked his grandfather to come over today.
Afraid that Yu Qingze would hear it, he specially pulled Grandpa Chang into the room, and then asked Grandpa if he had taken any cooling medicines when he was a child.
Grandpa Chang frowned and asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?"
Brother Le paused for a while, and still talked about his visit to the doctor, but he didn't talk about going to Doctor Ye. If he did, grandpa would definitely find Doctor Ye himself, he didn't want grandpa to be tired.
When Grandpa Chang heard this, his expression became solemn, and he said, "Is it because of this reason?"
Brother Le nodded.
Grandpa Chang pondered for a while, and then said: "When you were a child, we were still in Qingzhou. You had a high fever all over your body, and the temperature could not be lowered for a few days. At that time, it was too chaotic, and we couldn't find a doctor at all. The village knows a little about medicine. His grandfather is Mu Tou. He has tried many methods and can't cool you down. Seeing that you can't last long, Grandpa Mu Tou gritted his teeth and said that he should find a lot of cooling medicines, maybe it can cool down. As soon as we discussed, Thinking it was feasible, Grandpa Mu Tou took your father and you up the mountain to pick up a lot of medicine and came back. You drank it for three days, and the temperature really dropped, which saved your life."
When Brother Le heard it, it turned out to be like this.
In fact, he had a very vague memory of that episode and didn't remember much. Only when he was extremely stimulated would he think of some sporadic scenes, like when Xiaohao was in danger before. But he knew that there was an accident. Dad and grandpa had told him that because of that incident, his eldest brother was gone.
Grandpa Chang sighed and said, "Is that the reason? Xiaole, we are useless. We are sorry for you."
Brother Le grabbed Grandpa's hand, shook his head, and gestured: Grandpa, don't blame yourself, it was an accident, if I didn't do that, I might not have survived.
"Oh, it's you who suffered..." Grandpa Chang touched Brother Le's head distressedly.
Brother Le shook his head and gestured: "It's not bitter, grandpa, it's fine now.
Grandpa Chang nodded when he heard the words, a tear flashed in his eyes.
Brother Le gestured again: Do you still remember which medicine it was
Mu Tou, his grandfather and father passed away so early, so I can only ask my grandfather.
Grandpa Chang shook his head and said, "A lot, I don't remember so much. They collected all the medicines from the nearby hills, and they hurriedly boiled them when they came back."
When Brother Le heard the words, he didn't ask any more.
The two left the room, Brother Le went to work, and Yu Qingze pulled his grandfather into the storage room again and asked.
Grandpa Chang said it again, then looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Why are you asking again? Are you in conflict with Xiaole?"
Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "Grandpa, no. Brother Le was afraid that I was worried and didn't tell me about his visit to the doctor, so I could only pretend not to know, otherwise he might be more concerned about his body."
"Oh." Grandpa Chang looked at him and said seriously, "Do you remember what you promised me before?"
Yu Qingze nodded and said, "Of course, what I say will always count. Grandpa, don't worry, I'm just worried that Brother Le is on the horns. Don't worry, I will watch him."
Grandpa Chang looked at him for a while, then sighed and said, "Just remember."
On the second and third day, Brother Le and Brother Chang also had breakfast and went to Doctor Ye's house, but they still got the same answer and were stopped by Uncle Zheng.
"I told the owner about this, and he said no. Two brothers, our old husband is really not in good health. He has been tired for a long time, and his spirit is not good. The owner does not dare to let him work hard. Please go back."
With that said, Uncle Zheng closed the door.
Brother Le and Brother Chang had no choice but to put the dim sum by the door, and then went back.
"Uncle Zheng, what's wrong, are they here again?" In the courtyard, Xue Baishu was digging ground for him when he saw Uncle Zheng come in with two boxes of familiar snacks and asked.
Uncle Zheng nodded and said helplessly: "Yes, every time I leave the dim sum at the door and leave."
Xue Baishu looked at it, sighed, and said, "If only my medical skills could be as good as that, I can go and show them. Unfortunately, my father is not proficient in this area. I went to visit yesterday. Talk to Dr. Li about it, and he told me about it, but he can't do anything about it, let alone me."
Xue Baishu's father is also a doctor, but he is mainly proficient in trauma management and orthopedics. He is also helpless about the problem of infertility.
Uncle Zheng replied: "Third young master, don't belittle yourself. Your medical skills are already very good. With time, you will definitely surpass the master and the old man."
"Ugh… "
At noon, Xue Baishu and his father went to Jufulou for dinner at the invitation of Young Master Luo.
Xiao Er took them to Qiuju Pavilion.
Entering the private room, Master Luo and Luo Fu have already arrived.
"Lord Luo, Luo Fulang." Xue Baishu and his father Xue Jingfu saluted.
Seeing the two of them, Luo Mingda stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Doctor Xue, Brother Xue, haha, long time no see, I didn't expect you to come back to Tongshan. Come, please take a seat."
Xue Jingfu sat down with Xue Baishu, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not too medical now, Lord Luo dare not call him that again."
Luo Mingda smiled and said, "You are humble. As far as your medical skills are concerned, if Doctor Ye was not in good health, and you insisted on coming back, how could the emperor let you go. Hey, why didn't Doctor Ye come together?"
"Hey, he's in poor health and it's inconvenient to go out. Please let me take him to the two of you." Xue Jingfu sighed and explained.
"In this way, we were negligent and disturbed Dr. Ye's recuperation. My family has always been thinking about your kindness, so we must thank you two." Luo Mingda said.
"You're welcome, it's your duty to be a doctor. Master Luo doesn't have to worry about it."
Several people politely said a few words and began to chat. The food came soon, and they chatted while eating, and they were happy.
In the second half of the dinner, Xue Baishu got up and went downstairs to relieve himself.
When passing the kitchen, I glanced inside at will, but saw a familiar figure.
Isn't this one of the two brothers who came to his house for medical treatment these days? So he is the chef of this restaurant
He didn't care either, and went to the backyard hut to relieve him. When I came out again, I happened to see that brother and an old man talking by the well in the backyard.
He stood aside, wanting to wait for the two to finish talking before going to wash his hands.
At this moment, his father also came down to relieve him.
"Bai Zhu, where are you standing and what are you doing?"
"..." Xue Baishu paused, saw the two of them look over, and said quickly, "I didn't do anything, I washed my hands and went up."
When Brother Le saw that it was Xue Baishu, his eyes widened immediately.
Grandpa Chang asked, "What's the matter? Know?"
Brother Le nodded, without specifying who it was.
However, when Xue Jingfu passed by, he saw Grandpa Chang, he stopped, looked at it for a long time, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, may I ask, is your surname Chang?"
