Because of the heavy rain, many people who went to the market caught a cold. These two days, Old Madam Lin's medical center was much busier than usual.
Cai Wei helped the old madam, picking herbs, boiling herbs, and checking the pulse of the patient. The two of them were exhausted after a day.
When night fell, Cai Wei prepared dinner for everyone, but Old Furen didn't come to eat and went to bed early. Cai Wei was worried that Old Madam was resting and it would not be good to disturb her, so she made some porridge and some side dishes and sent them to Old Madam's room.
Cai Wei saw that there was a light in Old Furen's room and she walked forward.
"Old Madam, have some porridge. You can't eat nothing." Cai Wei gently pushed open the door and placed the dishes on the wooden table in the room. She then turned around and walked to Old Furen's bedside.
The old madam was leaning on the bed, reading a medical book under the light of the oil lamp. When she saw Cai Wei enter, she put down the medical book in her hands and gently massaged her temples.
Cai Wei looked worriedly at Old Madam.
The old madam smiled and waved her hand at Cai Wei, saying: " You may leave first. I will eat in a while."
Cai Wei acknowledged and left.
......
Early the next morning, Cai Wei went into the old madam's room to pack her things. She saw that the porridge and dishes on the small coffee table had not been touched at all. Cai Wei sighed and walked to the bedside,"Old Madam, how are you feeling?" You didn't eat dinner yesterday either. Are you feeling unwell?"
" I think I caught a cold," the old lady said hoarsely." Help me get some medicine." After that, Old Furen reported a prescription and asked Cai Wei to go and get some medicine according to the prescription.
Cai Wei busied herself in front of the cabinet. Lin Kongnian sat on a small stool and asked Cai Wei," Sister Cai Wei, is Old Lady sick?" Grandma hasn't woken up yet."
Cai Wei's hand that was grabbing the medicine paused. She smiled and said: " It's nothing serious. Perhaps it's because there have been many patients recently and the illness has passed." Let's close the clinic today and let the old madam have a good rest."
As she spoke, Cai Wei went to ask Qin Chuan to put up a notice at the entrance, informing the villagers that the clinic would not be open today.
Lin Kongnian stood where he was and scratched his head. Suddenly, she thought of something. She ran to the shelf and took a thick medical book before running to the old madam's room.
The old madam looked at the little dumpling who had barged into her room and found it funny." What's going on, little monkey?"
"Granny, I was too disobedient in the past. You taught me how to recognize herbs, and I went to play halfway through. I've turned over a new leaf. I'll study medicine well. In the future, if you're sick, I can still let our clinic open. That way, everyone can always come to see a doctor." Lin Kongnian acted like a little adult.
"Ah Nian is a little adult now. He knows how to help me share my worries." How about I teach you little by little when you wake up in the morning? You only need to recognize a few medicinal herbs and understand some pharmacology. It's only for self-defense. In the future, when we return to the capital, we won't be harmed by others."
"Good! I'll study hard, granny." The little white ball nodded seriously.
She climbed onto the bed and massaged the old madam's shoulders and legs. The old madam looked at this little person who was trying to be clever and obedient, and her heart was filled with love. When Cai Wei came in with the freshly brewed medicine, she saw such a serene scene.
She was also infected by the atmosphere, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Cai Wei walked forward and put down the tray, handing the medicine to the old madam. Matriarch Lin blew on it and drank it slowly.
