Chapter 878 My Husband, Isn't He Handsome?
"You eat obediently, and I'll apologize, okay?" Ling Juechen couldn't help her, feeling distressed and angry at the same time. Feeling sorry for her, she endured the discomfort of hypoglycemia and insisted on seeing a doctor for the victims. Angry at her for not cherishing her body, what if she faints from hunger?
Gu Ye opened his mouth like a baby bird waiting to be fed: "Feed me!"
Ling Juechen washed his hands, tore off a small piece from the pastry, stuffed it into the small mouth that was waiting to be fed, and looked down at the fire - if the meal is heated up earlier, the daughter-in-law can eat it in her mouth sooner.
The person who was seeing a doctor was a peasant woman in her sixties, with wrinkled face, shabby clothes, but peaceful eyes. Following the instructions of taking care of the night, she stretched out her hand and said gossipingly, "Girl, is this little general your brother?"
"No, it's my husband. How about it, doesn't it look good?" Gu Ye raised his eyebrows proudly.
The woman opened her eyes and looked at her: "You are so young...you got married?"
"It's not too young, it's sixteen! In your village, everyone my age is already a mother, isn't it?" Gu Ye still has a relationship with the elders, and he can chat with anyone.
The woman looked at her curiously: "Sixteen? Can't tell! I thought I was only thirteen or fourteen! Sixteen years old is so good at medicine, how do you think your head grows?"
"Genius, because of hard work. I just worked harder than others!" Gu Ye smiled and said, "Grandma, you are suffering from the cold and have a fever. I will give you an injection to reduce fever, and then take medicine for two days. Eat on time and you'll be fine soon!"
The old woman nodded vigorously, and said, "Thank you, little genius doctor. This is the money for the medicine!" She took out a purse from the waistband of her trousers, and counted dozens of copper coins from it. Gu's pharmaceutical granules are effective and the price is not very high. She heard from the villagers that the two-day supply should be about the same price.
Gu Ye hurriedly pushed back the copper plate and said, "Grandma, this medicine is for you, no money required!"
"How can we not need money? You don't charge us for medical treatment, so you won't charge for it. How can you pay for the medicine? Take it!" The old woman pushed the copper coin back again. The honest man next to her should be her son, and he also persuaded Gu Ye's subordinates.
Gu Ye lamented the simplicity of the victims in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Grandma, your family has been hit by a disaster, and there will be plenty of money to spend in the future. This is a free clinic, and all victims of the disaster will not be charged, so you are welcome!"
"Good girl! She has a good heart and ability. She is a lucky girl at first sight. No wonder she married such a good family as the little general. The blessings you two have done for the disaster victims will be rewarded to your family and children in the future. After the old woman got the injection, she took Gu Ye's hand and kept saying thank you.
"Daughter-in-law, it's time to eat!" Ling Juechen brought rice with some of Gu Ye's favorite dishes on top, "Drink the soup first to warm your stomach!"
The soup is Gu Yeqian's beef soup, stewed with beef bones for a whole night, and there are a lot of deboned meat in it. A strong aroma wafted through the medicine shed. The little girl lying on the kang hanging water swallowed secretly, turned over and lay facing the wall. I was afraid that my little benefactor would see my good-for-nothing appearance.
This fragrance is also a torment to the victims who lined up outside. The old man in the first place kept sniffling—you can't eat good food, so it's an advantage to smell it. The victims in the back all stretched their necks to look inside. There are also many children clamoring for meat.
Gu Ye said embarrassingly: "From now on, don't let the mansion deliver such a sumptuous meal! The victims can't even fill their stomachs. I eat big fish and meat, is it reasonable?"
Hearing this, the old man hurriedly said: "Little genius doctor, don't say that! You don't charge us a penny for seeing a doctor. It's hard enough to sit for a whole day in such a cold weather. Look at your slender arms and legs. , if you don’t eat something good, how can you have strength?”
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and eat—I'll be watching here, and I won't let you continue seeing people until you finish eating!" Ling Juechen stared at the side.
Gu Ye drank a few mouthfuls of the soup, pulled the bone-destroyed meat into the rice, stirred it a few times with chopsticks, and tried to put the rice in his mouth, but at the same time, he did not forget to protest in a low voice: "Overbearing! You shouldn't be in front of the old lady just now!" praise you!"
Ling Juechen added vegetables to her bowl from time to time, including her favorite braised pork, and even broke the duck legs of roast duck into small pieces for her convenience. Of course, green vegetables are also indispensable.
Gu Ye was very disgusted, deliberately ignored the green vegetables, and finished the meal as quickly as possible! She pouted her oily mouth and asked her husband to wipe it clean, then she remembered and asked, "Brother Chen, have you eaten yet?"
Ling Juechen was so busy that he didn't bother to eat. He mixed the leftover rice, soup and vegetables in the food box together, and ate it like a wind. He ate quickly without being rude, and was pleasing to the eye.
Gu Ye thumped his waist, shook his neck, and started a new round of fighting. Ling Juechen watched from the side, patients came in one by one, the little girl was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink. He went out to take a look, and saw that not only his wife's medical shed, but also several other medical sheds were lined up in front of them.
Most of the doctors in the other medical sheds are replaced by disciples or family members. Only his little girl can't stop for a moment. He walked in again and said: "There are so many medical clinics and pharmacies in the capital, and each pharmacy has a doctor who attends the clinic, and less than one tenth of them come to free clinics. Too few!"
"The free clinic is exhausting, and we have to build things in it. If they don't want to come, we can't force it." Gu Ye finished prescribing the medicine for the old man, and told him to take it on time, don't go out of the shack if there is nothing to do, and cover the quilt to cover his sweat , it will be ready soon!
The old man thanked her and praised: "Not all doctors are as kind-hearted as you and these free clinic doctors! Thanks to your medical shed and the timely relief from the court, otherwise I don't know how many people will die Woolen cloth!
When I was young, I heard from my grandfather that in the last years of the previous dynasty, there was a rare snow disaster in the suburbs of Beijing. In poorer villages, most of the villagers froze to death and starved to death. My grandfather and my father fled to the vicinity of the capital. The former emperor was afraid that the victims would enter the city and cause trouble, so the gates of the city were closed, and no entry or exit was allowed.
There are piles of dead people outside the city gate... We are lucky to have an emperor who loves the people like a son, and so many kind-hearted doctors..."
The old man is only in his fifties, and his village is relatively poor, with mostly thatched houses. After days of heavy snowfall, almost half of the houses in the village were crushed by the snow. Thatched huts have the advantages of thatched huts, and the casualties are not too great. Except for two or three unlucky guys who were broken by the beams, the others were minor injuries.
The old man’s family has an ox cart, and the folks with a broken leg were pulled over by his family’s ox cart. He went back in the snow again, pulled apart the collapsed houses, picked up thick clothes and quilts and pulled a cart back, and distributed them to the villagers. The old man suffered from a cold, but not too serious.
Gu Ye heard about him, and in addition to giving him medicine, he also gave him a thick padded jacket that was probably new, which was donated by the old housekeeper in the mansion.
On this day, Gu Ye didn't know how many patients he had treated and how many medicines he had delivered. The elderly and children have always been the most vulnerable to illness and death. With the medicines from Gu's Pharmaceuticals and the cotton-padded quilts donated by wealthy people in the city, none of the thousands of victims died of illness that day.
Many critically ill patients whose relatives felt that they could not survive were also brought back from the death line, lying in the hospital shed with water. Almost all of these victims came from poor farming families. They usually don't even take medicine for minor ailments, so they just survived. Injections are very effective for them, and the effect is fast.
In the evening, the fever of the little girl that Gu Ming rescued was gone. After eating two full meals, she was already able to get off the kang to help Liangchen subcontract the medicinal materials.
Liang Chen quietly said to Gu Ye: "Princess, this little girl is very quick at work and has good eyesight, why don't you let her stay and help!"
"Okay! You can ask her if she would like to stay. If she is willing, clean her up tonight and put on cotton clothes and trousers—stay in the medicine shed to work, and don't be too sloppy." Gu Ye warned.
Liang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The helper we hired not only has enough to eat every day, but also ten Wen's wages. Don't worry, if she is not stupid, she will definitely choose to stay." With this little helper, She can finally straighten her waist and relax!
Liangchen took the time to ask the little girl, and the little girl naturally couldn't ask for it, but she refused the ten-cent salary: "The little genius doctor and Brother Gu saved my life, I should do things for them, how can I ask for their wages? Every day I'll be satisfied with just two meals!"
The medical sheds that Gu Ye's older brothers helped to repair were all made of red bricks and built around a large kang, which can accommodate more than 20 patients side by side. Naturally, firewood is needed to burn the kang, so they hired young and strong boys among the victims to chop firewood. A bundle of firewood can be exchanged for a bun the size of a grown man's fist.
Although the place where the wood is cut is a little far away, it should be no problem to cut two bundles in one day. Coupled with the porridge provided by the imperial court and the dignitaries in Beijing, it should be no problem to eat half full. For those who are filial, save the steamed buns and share them with the parents and grandparents at home, which is much better than just drinking porridge.
The little girl has a weak stomach, so she drank thick porridge for these two meals. For her who doesn't know what is full all year round, it is already happier than Chinese New Year - only during Chinese New Year, grandparents will give her a bowl of two rice with oily vegetables on top. She dreams of being able to eat enough to eat every day!
Liangchen taught her how to pack medicine while chatting with her: "Have your grandma and uncle come over?"
"Should they come? They came out of the village earlier than me. I'm sick and can't go fast..." The little girl lowered her head and her voice was very low. Stumbling from the age of four or five to the present, she has been pointed at her nose and scolded for disaster many times, and she is used to being left behind.
She suddenly raised her head, looked worriedly at the little genius doctor who was lighting up the lamp to treat the victims, and said with a little fear: "They all say that I am a disaster star. If I kill my parents, I will bring disasters to people close to me...I, It won't cause trouble for the little genius doctor and sister Liangchen, will it?"
