On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the lively atmosphere and the children who were carrying new year's money were very happy. They went to buy snacks from time to time. They were so happy.

Li Xiuzhi and the others went out for a walk, while Lin Jiaguo and Nan Yi were taking care of their children in the house.

After the four children were fast asleep, the two simply made food and wine and started drinking.

"Next year the child will be able to run away, so we won't have to guard the house." Nan Yi chuckled and said with a smile: "It's a bit uncomfortable for the two of us to guard the house during such a lively event."

"It's so cold that I don't even want to go out." Lin Jiaguo shook his head and said with a smile, "It's better to let them relax for a few days, otherwise they will complain again and it won't be worth it."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, eating the food and having a drink.

At noon, Li Xiuzhi and the others returned to the courtyard and saw the two of them drinking. They couldn't help teasing them.

Lin Jiaguo and Nan Yi rolled their eyes. They also wanted to go out for a walk, but the format didn't allow it.

The first day of the new year passed, and starting from the second day of the new year, when it was time to pay New Year's greetings, Lin Jiaguo and Li Xiuzhi took their children to visit their sister-in-law Zhang Qin's house and their father-in-law's house, and did not go out for the rest of the time.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Bugui and his family went out together with Xu Damao to make folk remedies.

When they arrived at a courtyard, it was already noon. Looking at the rather dilapidated small courtyard, Yu Li frowned immediately.

Xu Damao saw the change in Yu Li and reminded him softly: "Although this courtyard is dilapidated, the people in this courtyard are very capable."

"In the past, the owner of this courtyard, Wen Fang, was a guest of the bannermen's nobles. The reason why he was favored by Wen Fang was because of his ability to achieve results."

With that said, Xu Damao reassured a few people and continued: "Although Wen Fang is no longer here, his grandson Wen Jiu has gained some true inheritance."

"Don't show your unwillingness to come later, otherwise they may not look good on you."

After several people were warned, they all expressed their understanding. Only then did Xu Damao call out: "Master Wen, are you there? I am the Xu Damao introduced by Liu Tou."

Soon, a voice echoed in the room, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties came out, followed by a young man in his twenties.

"Come in, everyone, let's talk inside the house!" The middle-aged man named Wenjiu greeted him, lukewarmly, and Xu Damao and the others entered the house carrying their things.

After being polite, they each sat down. The warm temperature in the room made Xu Damao and the others feel much more comfortable.

After chatting for a while, Yan Bugui explained his purpose of coming. Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu nodded, looked at Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng, and said: "I'll take the pulses of you two first, otherwise I won't know what to do."

.”

"Thank you, Master Wen!" Yu Li thanked the couple. Wen Jiu nodded slightly and asked Yan Jiecheng to stretch out his hand, and he began to feel the pulse.

Inexplicably, Yan Bugui and the others breathed softly, for fear of disturbing him. After a while, Wen Jiu asked while checking other places.

After taking Yan Jiecheng's pulse, it was Yu Li's turn again and asked some questions again.

After the inspection, Yu Li was a little worried when she saw Wen Jiu's sullen face, so she couldn't wait to ask: "Master Wen, is there something wrong with us?"

Yan Bugui and others also stared at Wen Jiu, fearing that he would say that Yu Li and his wife could not have a child.

"There are some problems." Wen Jiu looked at Yu Li and said, "If you believe me, I will give you some medicine first, but let's agree first, the price is not cheap."

Upon hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Yan Bugui said with some pain: "Master Wen, how much does this cost?"

Wen Jiu shook his head and smiled, and said: "It costs almost twenty yuan. The main reason is that the medicinal materials are expensive. You two will each have to take a course of treatment. If the situation gets better by then, the chance of conceiving a child will be greater."

"It's too expensive, I..." Yan Bugui couldn't help blurting out. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng next to him touched him in time.

"If you think it's expensive, then hire someone else!" Wenjiu said calmly, "I've seen a lot of people like you. The couple is still young, and youth means great opportunities."

"If it takes a long time and I get older, I won't have any confidence at all."

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. Master Wen, I have to trouble you to prepare the medicine." Yan Jiecheng suddenly became anxious when he heard that the older he got, the less chance he had. Twenty yuan was a lot, but it had to do with the child.

I gritted my teeth and gave it.

Wen Jiu nodded and said to the young man in the room: "Wen Yi, go get my medicine box."

The young man Wen Yi responded and went to get the medicine box. After a while, he came over with the medicine box. After opening it, he found some medicinal materials inside.

Wen Jiu started to get busy. After a while, it was almost done. He got up and went to the inner room. After a while, he came over with two medicine balls the size of marbles, put them in two medicine bags respectively, and explained:

"This is my family's secret recipe. You go back and boil the medicine and take a meal before swallowing this pill."

After another explanation, the medicine was put away, Yan Jiecheng readily gave the money, and after chatting for a while, they left.

After they left, Wen Yi put the medicine box on the ground casually in the house. Seeing Wen Jiu counting the money happily, he chuckled and said: "Uncle, you are still awesome. You opened your mouth and asked for twenty yuan, and people still paid for it."

Gave it."

Wen Jiu grinned, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile: "So this is a test of your eyesight. When you should ask for one or two yuan, you can't ask for more. When you should ask for more, you can't ask for less."

With that said, he took out two dollars and handed it to Wen Yi and said: "Here it is for you, buy a few packs of cigarettes to smoke, go out more and brag, you will benefit from it in the future."

Wen Yi took the money and said with a cheerful smile: "Uncle, aren't you afraid of being cheated on?"

"What?" Wen Jiu sneered and said, "I don't guarantee that I can get pregnant. Those who want a child but can't get pregnant have all gone to the hospital for examination, otherwise they wouldn't have found any remedies."

"Boy, don't worry, even if someone makes trouble, I have plenty of ways to deal with it."

At this point, Wen Jiu also expressed a bit of regret and said, "I haven't learned the skills of your great-grandfather Wen Fang, otherwise I would have to engage in such deceptive tricks."

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Wenjiu covered up his sigh and said with a smile: "Although I haven't inherited his old man's skills, I still have half a bucket of water."

"The medicines I prescribe are the ones that won't cause any trouble. This time, for twenty yuan, I also took the tonic pills made by your grandfather. But if you use one less pill, they won't lose.

"

…

In the courtyard, Yu Li and his wife returned to the courtyard and began to cook medicine in a casserole. After the smell of the medicine dissipated, Li Xiuzhi and others saw it and came over to ask.

Yu Li explained the reason in a low voice, and Li Xiuzhi frowned and said, "Didn't you go to the hospital for a checkup and there was nothing wrong?"

"But there's no movement in my stomach!" Yu Li said depressedly. If possible, she didn't want to take any of this traditional Chinese medicine, but her eagerness made her want to hold on to hope.

"Isn't it because of my mentality?" Liang Ladi spoke up and said: "After I got married to Nan Yi, I was also anxious to get pregnant, but there was no movement. Xiuzhi enlightened me and asked me to relax, and then

That’s when there was movement.”

When Yu Li heard this, she smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what the reason is, let's give it a try first."

Li Xiuzhi and Liang Ladi didn't say any more. There were some things. If they put themselves in their shoes, they would be anxious too.

After chatting for a while, the two of them went back to the house. In the house, Li Xiuzhi said that Yu Li had obtained a folk prescription and wanted to take Chinese medicine. Lin Jiaguo sighed slightly, and he did not dare to express any opinions on this point.

The market for folk remedies is huge, and people’s desire is the fundamental reason.

While the couple was talking, Yu Li and his wife prepared the medicine. After it cooled down a bit, the young couple took out pill-sized pills, looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and swallowed.

Go down.

The smell made the two of them retching, but they could not vomit it out. After drinking the traditional Chinese medicine, Yu Li said with a bitter face: "I hope it works, otherwise these twenty yuan will be wasted.

The medicine doesn’t taste good either.”

"I hope so!" Yan Jiecheng took out a cigarette and lit it and started smoking. He was under great pressure. The more silent there was, the two of them couldn't help but think more. If this continues, there will always be a day when conflicts break out.

Seeing his expression, Yu Li first changed the subject and shifted it to the matter between Xu Damao and Yu Haitang.

As the couple chatted, Yu Li felt a little pain in her stomach and wanted to get up to go to the toilet. As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy.

"Jie Cheng, help me, I'm a little dizzy." Yu Li said. Yan Jiecheng also had similar symptoms at this time. As soon as he got up, his expression changed.

"It can't be that there's something wrong with the medicine. I'm also dizzy." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yu Li holding her stomach and groaning.

"Yu Li, are you okay?" Yan Jiecheng was anxious. He was usually fine, but something happened after taking medicine. It must have been caused by the medicine just now.

"Jie Cheng, my stomach hurts, it hurts so bad!" Yu Li sat down again, but still didn't feel better. She raised her head and glanced at Yan Jiecheng, and was stunned.

Not only was she stunned, Yan Jiecheng was also stunned.

"Why is your mouth blue?" The two of them said in unison. At this time, Yan Jiecheng's stomach also started to hurt.

There is something wrong with the medicine!

Now that the two of them were sure, Yan Jiecheng forced himself to walk out, hoping to find someone to take the young couple to the hospital.

When he walked out of the house, he felt dizzy and couldn't help shouting "Dad". There was no movement at Yan Bugui's side. At this time, Lin Jiaguo and Nan Yi, who were making snowmen with their children in the courtyard, heard the sound and suddenly

Looking over, they saw Yan Jiecheng holding on to the wall, his stumbling steps making the two of them frown.

"Jie Cheng, what's wrong?" The two of them walked over quickly and got closer. When they saw Yan Jiecheng's mouth turned green, Lin Jiaguo and Nan Yi were startled.

Let me strangle you. Is this poisoning?

"Second uncle, come out quickly, something happened!" Nan Yi yelled, while Lin Jiaguo ran to Yu Li's side because Yu Li was about to fall down while holding on to the door.

Seeing that Yu Li's condition was similar to that of Yan Jiecheng, Lin Jiaguo was almost certain that she was definitely poisoned!

Lin Jiaguo called out Nanyi, then squatted down and asked Yu Li to lie on his back. Yu Li was dizzy at this time, so she lay directly on Lin Jiaguo's back.

On the Nanyi side, Yan Jiecheng picked up his back. At this time, Yan Bugui and his wife came out. Seeing this scene, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" Yan Bugui asked again. Lin Jiaguo said hurriedly: "Go find a tricycle and send him to the hospital quickly. If you are late, something will happen."

"Oh oh oh..." Yan Bugui was yelled by Lin Jiaguo and hurriedly ran out to borrow a tricycle. Hearing the noise, Li Xiuzhi and the others also walked out and saw Nan Yi and Lin Jiaguo carrying the person out of the yard. They carried the child

After handing it over to Tong Li, Liang Ladi pushed out the bicycle, called Li Xiuzhi, and quickly followed.

…

In the hospital, Lin Jiaguo and Nan Yi hid outside and smoked. They were so exhausted that they almost overturned their tricycle.
