Shi Xiaorui couldn't help comforting him: "it's good to insist on it every day, and don't let the old man stay alone in the dark. Even if it's not convenient to find someone else to take care of him, you can read a book to the old lady through the window and tell some jokes to make her laugh."
Zhao Li accepted the suggestion: "I'll arrange it now." He hesitated, could not help but confirm the amount again, "mother, she does not need to change the prescription to take medicine?"
"It doesn't seem to be necessary at the moment." Shi Xiaorui's rigorous answer.
"That's good." Zhao Li looked even more happy, "doctor Shi, you have to go again."
Shi Xiaorui waved her hand and said, "nothing. It's all right. Just now, I haven't appreciated the gift from boss Zhao. It's too expensive. "
Zhao Li didn't like it: "it's good that doctor Shi likes it. These medicinal materials are placed here and there, or in your hands can play a greater role. Besides, I am very grateful to see that my mother is expected to recover. "
They exchanged greetings. Seeing her tired, Zhao Li sent her out.
Walking on the road, no one around, Zhao Li suddenly whispered: "the price of grain in Beijing has gone up a lot in the past two days. Doctor Shi has noticed."
Shi Xiaorui's sleepiness was immediately startled away: "yes, it's a little bit. The price of vegetables and meat has also gone up a lot."
Zhao Li said: "if doctor Shi is willing to believe in Zhao, he will buy more food that can last for two days. He will always be able to survive the winter."
He said the word "winter" a little more seriously.
Shi Xiaorui remembered that this man said he was a small trader, but actually he didn't know what the background was. He was so sure that he got the specific news.
Shi Xiaorui nodded cautiously.
Zhao Li was relieved to see her reply. He took out a letter from his sleeve and put it into Shi Xiaorui's medical box.
"If there's any difficulty for doctor Shi one day, you can take this letter to the biggest grain store in Beijing. The boss and I have some friendship. Reading this letter may help Shi Xiaorui solve some urgent problems."
Shi Xiaorui is both surprised and happy. What she worries about most is that the cellar in her home can't be dug as planned, not to mention the grain reserves. Now with this letter, she is half relieved.
At this time is walking to the door, Zhao Li mouth stopped Shi Xiaorui has not yet export thanks: "it's late, stone doctor also quickly go home, I immediately have to take care of my mother's medicine."
Shi Xiaorui had to go home with a medicine box.
As soon as she went back, she took out the letter. The envelope was unsealed. It seemed that it was just for her to read. Shi Xiaorui hesitated and took it out.
The content of the letter is similar to what Zhao Li said, that is to ask the boss of the grain store to take care of Shi Xiaorui with his friend's body. However, if you read this letter alone, you can't judge the friendship between them. If Zhao Li can write a letter, it should have a good relationship, right?
Shi Xiaorui thought about it and decided to be on the safe side. The cellar project at home could not be stopped. This letter would be the last resort.
But today's biggest harvest is not only this letter, but also the news given by boss Zhao. He basically made it clear that Shi Xiaorui should reserve food for at least one winter.
It's a pity that he didn't mention the specific source.
Shi Xiaorui also understands this. After all, it is reasonable that Shi Xiaorui cured his mother, but he also paid a super high fee for diagnosis. It is reasonable that the money and goods have been paid off. This reminder is a free gift.
Shi Xiaorui is the first to think of Xu Xin and Yu Qingzhan. I don't know if they have got any news. There's also father Shi. I have to remind him that the letter says that it's not safe. Besides, letters are not sent as fast as modern mail. I think it's better to go to the insurance by myself.
It's not noon yet. If you hire a carriage, regardless of comfort and speed, you should be able to find Xu Xin in the county before dark today.
Shi Xiaorui calculated and put the letter written by boss Zhao in a thin medical book into the medicine box. She has been packing up and replenishing the missing medicines herself. She has never done it by herself. Her family knows her habits, and no one will turn it over. It's safer than putting it in other places.
Shi Xiaorui wrote a note, ran to the bedroom and pressed it under Lu Shao's pillow. On it, she briefly wrote the news she heard and today's plan. Then she found Xinmeng and asked her to hire a carriage. Before the carriage arrived, she took the time to write two pages of tangtouge silently to do the homework for Lu Ming.
Soon the carriage arrived. Shi Xiaorui told Mo Ju and Shan Xia to stay at home and took Xia Ying to the carriage.
It's worthy of saying that it's a carriage specially told to be in a hurry. The coachman drives the horse very fast. Shi Xiaorui and Xia Ying's viscera in the carriage are about to shift. They finally arrive at the county before dark and stop in front of the county yamen.
As soon as Xinmeng got out of the car, she found a corner and vomited in the dark.
Shi Xiaorui is a little better. She also vomited twice. It's hard to push back the feeling of vomiting.
Look at the coachman again. There is nothing wrong with him. He is touching the neck of the panting horse with a little heartache.
Because when I was hired, I agreed to hire a carriage to go back and forth. The employer would solve the problem of food and accommodation in the night between. Seeing that Shi Xiaorui was relieved, the coachman quickly asked, "madam, where do we live at night? The horse has been running for more than half a day. We have to have a good meal tonight, have a good rest and replenish our strength. Otherwise, we won't be able to work tomorrow. "
Shi Xiaorui said: "don't worry. I'll arrange it for you right away. It's all agreed in advance. How can I change my mind temporarily?"
He found an inn near the county government and settled the coachman. Shi Xiaorui went to find Xu Xin.
Who knows Xu Xin is not there, only stay at home in Qingzhan.
Yu Qingzhan was a little surprised to see Shi Xiaorui: "how did this point come back?" She thought Shi Xiaorui was coming back to visit her relatives. "What about Lu Shao, Ran Ran and ming'er?"
"I didn't come back to visit my family." Shi Xiaorui grabs her hand, "where's Xu Xin? Where did he go? "
"I don't know. He's usually in the county government. Isn't he here?" Yu Qingzhan is also very strange.
Shi Xiaorui knows that it seems a little inappropriate for her to find Xu Xin alone, but she is eager to find Xu Xin so that she can ask him if he has any good news. If she can't find anyone, she talks with Yu Qingzhan.
"Has the price of food and vegetables increased in our county? Yesterday, the price of food and vegetables in Beijing went up a lot. "
"Price increase?" Yu Qingzhan is still confused and doesn't know what's going on. "I didn't notice that my family has a small population. I spend money every month, and the kitchen hasn't told me about it."
