Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Zhou Leng knew that now was not the most difficult time. The most difficult thing was that she was afraid that the mother would get a bacterial infection or even ulcer due to environmental reasons. She was even more afraid that the mother would die because of this. After she went out and saw everyone looking at her expectantly, she forced a smile and said:

"For now, both mother and child are safe. It all depends on the mother's luck. I will come to check on her every day."

"Oh, it's a baby. I have to go see my eldest grandson quickly." The woman's mother-in-law was so excited that she wanted to go into the house to check.

Zhou Leng secretly thought that she was wise. After she cleaned up the pregnant woman, she put the dirty quilt and the wrapped child in another room. She said loudly to the excited woman:

"I've put the child in the west room. Outsiders should stay away from the east room these two days. Your daughter-in-law should take good care of her. With this first child, it will be easier to have another one in the future. Only by taking good care of your daughter-in-law can she continue to raise children for your family."

Zhou Leng said this on purpose because she was afraid that the family would forget the mother after having the child.

"Thank you, Doctor Wan. Thank you, Doctor Wan."

The whole family expressed their gratitude joyfully, and everyone outside the house looked at Zhou Leng with admiration. Only Zhou Leng felt as if a cool breeze had blown across his heart, cooling down his already cold heart.

When Zhou Leng left, she carried a small bag of coarse grains given by the family. This was probably why they were reluctant to go to the clinic. Why would they go to the village when a bag of grain could solve the problem? Maybe they really didn't have the money to go. Who knows? She had tried her best, at least she had a clear conscience.

People kept greeting her along the way, and it seemed that she had suddenly gone from being a prisoner to being a member of the same class.

The spread of this news made it seem as if Zhou Leng had become a miracle doctor who could cure the dead and bring the bones back to life. However, if the mother's condition worsened in two days, she would instantly fall from the altar and be criticized or even abused.

last of the last.

The god of luck favored this mother and son, and also favored Zhou Leng.

After a month of recuperation, the woman came to the rehabilitation center alone. She looked a little haggard, but there was no sadness between her brows. She took out the wild vegetables she picked in the mountains and the steamed buns mixed with fine grains that she had steamed herself. She came to express her gratitude.

Zhou sneered and said, "You've recovered well. Next time you get pregnant, remember not to overeat at every meal. Just eat in moderation."

The woman's simple smile was a little embarrassed, and she said with gratitude:

"Doctor Wan, my family has only one son for three generations. I've been married for five years and still don't have a child. My spine has been broken. If it weren't for Doctor Wan, my mother and I would have lost our lives. Even if we went to the clinic and spent money on treatment, the person might not have been saved. The wife of Uncle Chen in the village went to the clinic, and all the family money was spent, and she died. My family didn't send me there because they were afraid that something like this would happen. Anyway, it's all thanks to Doctor Wan."

Zhou Leng replied:

"Well, you're right. But your family has already given you gifts of thanks, so you should take them back. You still have children to raise." At this moment, her heart was filled with sympathy. She felt sympathetic for the woman who was making excuses for her relatives and family members in the words just now. She didn't know whether the words she said were to comfort herself or to convince Zhou Leng. Perhaps she was trying to find recognition.

The woman waved her hands repeatedly: "No, this is something I made with my heart, you must accept it."

"Okay, wait for me."

Zhou Leng took the things and put them inside, then took out a few small cloth bags and handed them to the woman, saying, "Take it home and use it to soak your feet. It can be used repeatedly. One bag can be used for five days."

"How can this be allowed? How can this be considered as changing the medicine?"

Zhou Leng threw it into her arms, and then said seriously: "Do you still want a second child? If you do, take it back and soak your feet."

"Does it really work?"

"It's useful, but you've hurt yourself. It's best to wait two years before having a second child."

"Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor."

When the woman left, there was a smile on her face, showing her anticipation for the future.

Liu Tingyan and Liu Tingfang had been peeking at the door for a long time. After the woman left, they ran out excitedly and hugged one of their mother's thighs respectively. Their shouting and laughter could be heard from far away.

“Mom is the best.”

Not to be outdone, Liu Tingfang also said: "Mom is the best."

"Mom is a miracle doctor."

"Mom is a fairy."

Zhou Leng looked at the two children and said with a smile, "Why, are you happy when you see people sending you food?"

“Hahahaha…Mom is the best.” The two little children continued to laugh and shout happily.

Because Zhou Leng demonstrated her extraordinary medical skills, their family of four was finally freed from hunger and hardship. By treating minor illnesses for the villagers, she was finally able to allow her two children to go to sleep without hunger.

dinner time.

Liu Wuqing, exhausted from the day's work, entered the courtyard with Wei Lanfeng. Liu Tingyan looked at his sister who was identifying herbs with her mother, and turned around and ran to his father.

"Ouch, please be gentle. I'm tired after a whole day and I can't hold you." Liu Wuqing squatted down to meet his son's enthusiasm and was almost knocked to the ground.

Wei Lanfeng smiled and glanced at the two of them, then walked past them and entered his own house. He knew that at this moment his son must be staring at the unpalatable pancake and drooling secretly, trying hard to suppress his hunger and waiting for his insignificant father to come home for dinner.

After entering the house, there is the familiar small wooden table with a pancake and a bowl of soup on it, which is what they do every day.

"Dad, come back and eat quickly. This pancake is for you today."

Wei Lanfeng frowned and said, "No, you won't be able to sleep well if you don't eat at night. Dad is not very tired today."

"Deng deng deng, look what this is." After saying this, Wei Qiu took out half a steamed bun wrapped in cloth from behind him.

Wei Lanfeng showed no joy, but said seriously: "Where are you from?"

Wei Qiu replied:

"Xiaoyan and Xiaofang each received a steamed bun from Doctor Wan at noon. They ate one and gave the rest to me. I ate half and left the rest for dad. They are my friends and they gave it to me." After saying the last sentence, the child looked at his father's face and lowered his head with a bit of grievance.

Wei Lanfeng seemed reluctant, but still said stubbornly:

"They are just two young children, how can they know how precious food is? You can give this cake to Doctor Wan as a way of repaying the steamed bun."

Wei Qiu lowered his head and tears fell down. He said:

"Doctor Wan's family doesn't need this steamed bun at all. They gave it to me. What have I done wrong?"

"You've learned to talk back. They don't need anything, but don't you know that reciprocity is the right thing to do? How can you accept their steamed buns for no reason? They don't know how precious food is, don't you?"

"Wow..." Wei Qiu burst into tears sadly, gasping for breath.

Wei Lanfeng went over and hugged his son, tears welling up in his eyes. He just stubbornly wanted to maintain the integrity he was supposed to have, and even if he had fallen to this point, he would not have the idea of ​​taking advantage of others.

"Dad, I just feel bad for you. I want you to eat more. I'm not trying to fool my friends. I asked Doctor Wan, and she said that if I gave it to Xiaoyan, it would be his, and he could distribute it however he wanted. That's why I took it back. I will never want other people's steamed buns again. Don't be angry, Dad."

"I...it's all because of Dad's uselessness."

The father and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.

The two men who were cooking in the same room outside the door looked at each other and sighed deeply.

The only people who are willing to stand firm and not bow down for a few pieces of silver are Wei Lanfeng and his son, apart from Liu Wuqing who married a good wife. However, integrity cannot be eaten, and Wei Qiu is so skinny that he is just skin and bones.

The four members of the Liu family had already gone into the house to eat, and in the noise, they missed the "tragedy" caused by a steamed bun.
