“Twenty-two copper coins for the checkup, medicinal materials seventy-four copper coins, a total of ninety-six copper coins.”
When following Li Langzhong to “study medicine”, Tang Feng naturally did not forget to ask how many copper coins the medicinal materials here were worth.
“Ninety-six! That’s a good number! ”
When Gou Zi’s Father heard this number, he smiled until his face turned into a blooming flower. This ninety-six was reasonable. This illness of Laomo will definitely get better!
Tang Feng lightly hooked the corners of his mouth, his whole person looked very gentle and polite, “I don’t have enough medicinal materials, I will write the prescription to you, you can go to the medicine shop in the town to get them.”
Gou Zi’s Father and Amo thanked Tang Feng, then Tang Feng instructed them to pay attention to certain matters.
After Gou Zi and the others left, the smiles on the faces of Father Tang and Tang Amo couldn’t be contained. Their child obtained profit, what else could make them happier than this.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there were many people in the village who suffered from the cold. However, in order to save some money, they were not willing to bother to go to town. Then they heard that Tang Feng had some skills, that’s why from time to time there were people coming to join the crowd.
Moreover, Wen Shu, the man who attracted the most attention from the Gers in the village, of the Wen family also caught a cold.
With this huge wind and snow, how could it allow Wen Shu to go to the town. Not to mention, the duration of time would make people worried. Since with this kind of road, it wasn’t good for donkey carts to go into town, something happened in the next village a few days ago.
A man faced the wind and snow to hire a cart to return to the village, only to be almost killed by the snowdrift that slipped down!
Therefore, because of this, Father Wen personally went to the Tang family and asked Tang Feng to take a look. Tang Feng had seen a lot of people these days, it can be said that as long as one walked into the Tang family’s door, Tang Feng would feel their pulses, and prescribe medicine at once. This way, no one would come to their door to make trouble.
Therefore, Wen Amo, who had always held Wen Shu in the palm of his hand, did not stop it.
“………………, so I’m sorry to trouble you to come take a look.”
Father Wen’s appearance was a standard smart and bright man. It was no wonder that the two brothers of the Wen family were so brilliant.
Tang Feng took the medicine box and chuckled, “I am a doctor, so you don’t have to say this.”
Then he said to Lin Yu and the others who were eating.
“You guys eat first, I’ll come back after taking a look.”
After Tang Feng and Father Wen left, Tang Amo’s face was no longer as proud as when Tang Feng first “started” being a doctor. He said with a sad face, “How come these people all like to come when we’re eating.”
It had only been ten days, but Tang Feng had been pulled from the dining table by the people in the village nearly thirty times. He had come home with a hungry stomach several times.
What? How did he get hungry?
It’s because the family was sick, how can there be any time to cook!
“I’ll keep some food for Husband in the pot.”
Lin Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and picked up the rice bowl that Tang Feng had not eaten much.
“Give him some more dishes.”
Tang Amo spoke and pushed the hot dish in front of him to Lin Yu’s direction. Father Tang stood up and stuffed firewood directly into the stove, so that it could still warm the pot afterwards making the food that was put inside be hot for a long time.
When Tang Feng and Father Wen arrived at the Wen family, they were taken aback by the Amos who were almost filling the hall.
These were all the Amos of the unmarried Gers in the village. Once they heard that Wen Shu got sick, the unmarried Gers in the village thought they would follow suit and get sick too (like when your idol gets sick you’re also sick). So they pestered their Amos to come to the Wen family to take a look.
Wen Shu was the most outstanding man in the village, he became the Lord Xiucai at a young age. One can’t say for sure, when the fate of one person and the fate of another would arrive, so this Wen Shu could become their son-in-law. Thinking of the beauty of the future, the Amos naturally rushed to the Wen family actively, which was also the reason why Tang Feng saw a room full of Amos.
“Ah Shu’s room is here.”
Father Wen took Tang Feng to the east wing and gently pushed open the door.
Tang Feng had just stepped into the study room. The first thing he paid attention to was not the cleanliness that deserved the praises of others, nor the books that would be admired by others, but the stuffiness caused by the ventilation of the window that hadn’t been opened after a long time!
Frowning, Tang Feng lightened his breathing as much as possible and walked to Wen Shu’s bedside.
Wen Shu’s expression on the bed was not as rosy as when Tang Feng saw him in the bookstore at that time. His two cheeks were flushed, brows were frowning, and his lips were slightly chapped and cracked.
Perhaps he was woken up by the sound of Tang Feng and Father Wen entering the door, but Wen Shu opened his eyelids that were as hot as if they were burned by something.
“Father, Tang Feng?”
Obviously, it’s because of Tang Feng’s unexpected presence.
Tang Feng nodded, put down the medicine box on his body, sat on his side of Wen Shu’s bed, and gently pulled his wrist, put his fingers on, and began to feel the pulse.
As soon as Tang Feng’s warm fingers touched him, Wen Shu’s eyes narrowed. His body was a little feverish, when it was touched by a mild cold, it was like a long drought met by dew water. It was so comfortable that made him can’t help but squint his eyes.
Until Tang Feng finished feeling his pulse and withdrew his hand, Wen Shu’s heart was inexplicably a little reluctant.
“It’s not a big deal, perhaps he’s working too much at night and caught a cold. Plus he’s a little impatient recently, so he has a little fever. I have medicinal materials in this medicine box, you can take it to boil directly.”
Tang Feng looked at the only desk in the room. There were several open books on it, and said to Father Wen, who was waiting for the result.
Tang Feng, who had been seeing patients these days, knew from experience. The people who caught a cold, the majority of those were followed by indigestion problems then with chronic illnesses.
Therefore, he always had cold medicine in his medicine box, plus he also heard some symptoms according to Father Wen before he came. Tang Feng naturally would not make a mistake.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Father Wen breathed a sigh of relief and took the medicine given by Tang Feng. Of course, he did not forget to take Tang Feng out.
As soon as Tang Feng left the room, his ears hurt a little by a slightly sharp sound.
“How’s my Ah Wen?”
Tang Feng moved his unsteady heel a little and avoided a gust of wind, “It’s just a cold, not a big deal. However, don’t let him read books at nighttime in the future. The cold at night is too heavy, it will be easy for him to catch a cold.”
Wen Amo immediately patted his chest in comfort when he heard this, “How much is it?”
“A total of one hundred and twenty-eight copper coins, plus three packs of cold medicine.” Tang Feng said.
After Wen Amo heard the amount, he directly shouted out, “Ah Qing! Bring my money bag! ”
He rushed to send this doctor away. As soon as he finished giving the money, the person would leave and also take away the slight illness of Ah Shu.
Note: it’s like a belief that doctor who come to see patient will generally take away the illness when he leave (according to this context since im not sure about real life matter)
Tang Feng didn’t care that Wen Amo was in a hurry. He came out without finishing his meal. There was a burst of hunger in his stomach at this time, which reminded Tang Feng of his wife’s good cooking skills. It’s said that the wind meat roasted radish made by Fu Lang at noon today really was memorable………….
Wen Qing, who was wearing a pale cotton coat, took Wen Amo’s money bag, walked over, saw Tang Feng, who looked like a “Ger”, and suddenly remembered Lin Yu who carried him back home last time.
Wen Amo counted one hundred and twenty-eight copper coins before giving them to Tang Feng. Tang Feng did not stay any longer, he held up his umbrella and went in the direction of his home. According to the nature of his wife, he would be able to eat a hot meal when he returned.
Wen Qing rolled up his sleeves and looked at the entrance of the courtyard.
It was the first time he had seen a man who didn’t even look at him.
Not long after Tang Feng left, the story of this Wen Shu being infected with a cold because of studying hard at night spread in the village. This made the naughty younger generation children be spoken to several times with their own elders holding their ears. No wonder this Wen Shu passed the Xiucai exam at such a young age, he even studied at night!
This little episode swung around in the village, but it didn’t affect Tang Feng and the others at all, they did what they had to do.
A few days later, Tang Feng was tossed from side to side about next month’s book. Yesterday, Owner Huang suddenly came, and gave the profits to Tang Feng. He brought some papers over, because there were still five days before New Year, so Owner Huang came over five days in advance to get things done. Tang Feng was now writing out the chapter that needed to be handed over next month.
As soon as Tang Feng put away his brush and packed up, Lin Yu came in.
“Fujun, Wang Laomo is here.”
Wang Laomo, Tang Feng searched in his mind. Oh, it was Wang Laomo who asked him to help write the couplet last time, the wife of Old Xiucai Wang in the village.
“I will go.”
Wang Laomo was old, his body was not as good as before, so in order to warm his body and bones, he wrapped himself in three layers inside and three layers outside. When Tang Feng looked from behind, he thought that it was a pillar with a belt.
“Tang Feng, you’re here, don’t forget what you promised me. As a matter of fact, it’s almost the New Year, I’m here to ask you to write me a couplet, write the blessings for happiness and luck and to welcome the gods of all roads!” (boss help double check)
Wang Laomo took out three pieces of red paper. His pleated face was wrinkled with a smile at this time.
“How could I forget it, this is but a small matter.” Tang Feng grinded the inkstone, lifted the brush and asked, “May I ask what kind of good couplet Uncle Wang came up with?”
Wang Laomo smiled happily, took out a piece of yellow paper in his bosom and handed it to Tang Feng.
Tang Feng took it and looked down.
The left antithetical couplet: Heaven increases time, people increase life! The right antithetical couplet: Spring fills heaven and earth, blessings fill the house! The horizontal antithetical couplet: Peace comes for all four seasons!
Note: this is the couplets Chinese people pasted onto their house’s doors, for more info u can google it.
As expected of an old Xiucai, there was a kind of unrestrainedness in between the lines and the words, not at all like a peasant family.
Tang Feng laid out the red paper, lifted the brush and wrote the words, his brush swung away smoothly on the paper like a moving cloud.
Wang Laomo, Tang family husband and wife and Lin Yu were all watching from the sidelines.
“Wang Laomo, what do you think about this?”
After Tang Feng finished writing, he moved away and asked Wang Laomo to step forward to see if this word could satisfy him.
“Good word!”
Wang Laomo picked up the couplet and said with admiration in his eyes.
This Wang Laomo was literate, Tang Feng was a little surprised, but he still cupped his hands and said, “You’ve flattered me, I, Tang Feng admire Uncle Wang’s couplet.”
The author has something to say: Little Theater’s 《Husband! Don’t bite my ears! Part 1》
His husband always likes to bite the root of his ear.
Lin Yu reached out and rubbed his ears.
It was not easy to change his expression so whenever he felt ashamed, only the root of the ear became red. People who are familiar with Lin Yu knew this.
Tang Feng naturally knew this. He simply loved Lin Yu to death.
So he always teased Lin Yu whenever he’s free to the point where Lin Yu said no, no. Afterwards he took advantage to bite Lin Yu’s red ears that have turned bright red.
“Wu……, do it lightly!”
Lin Yu did not dare to forcefully push away Tang Feng, who was licking and biting his ears, for fear of accidentally losing his ears.
Tang Feng licked and bit hard, the tingling sensation in his ears made Lin Yu’s legs soft for a while.
This won’t work!
Someone with weak legs had begun to plan. He had to make his husband change this habit himself!
Q: How does one make a plan?
