Chapter 177 Uncle Jiang suddenly came to visit
Because of the weather, there were actually several prey in the trap set by Jiang Yi.
After collecting the prey, the two went to dig bamboo shoots.
It was the first time that Xu Yu experienced the joy of digging bamboo shoots, especially since the bamboo shoots had not yet emerged from the ground. It all depended on one's eyesight, so for Xu Yu it was as exciting as treasure hunting.
The two did not return home until after three in the afternoon.
As soon as they got home, Yang Wenhui and Dr. Hu came over to see what they brought back.
In addition to a few prey, there was also a basket of bamboo shoots.
Yang Wenhui smiled and said, "The bamboo shoots at this time have not yet emerged from the ground. They are the most tender, but they are hard to find. After the spring thunder, the bamboo shoots will emerge quickly. Then we can dig more and make dried bamboo shoots."
Xu Yu and Jiang Yi had no objection.
Then the three of them prepared to clean up the prey and bamboo shoots.
Just when Jiang Yi was packing up the game, Uncle Jiang San suddenly came to find them.
Uncle Jiang didn't come in either. He just stood outside the door, rubbing his hands, obviously a little reserved.
Yang Wenhui stood inside the door and talked to him.
"Third brother, what can I do for you? Come in and tell me."
"No, no, I just want to ask you if you have any plans for tomorrow's fifteenth day. If you don't have any plans, all of you can come to our house for dinner."
At this point, he added, "We haven't had a meal together during the Chinese New Year this year, so I thought we could get together during the 15th."
Yang Wenhui said, "Forget about the meal. We've invited Xiaoyu's family to come over for dinner."
Uncle Jiang San asked persistently, "Are you inviting them to lunch or dinner? If it's lunch, we'll eat together in the evening. If it's dinner, we'll eat at noon."
Xu Yu and Jiang Yi were sitting in the corner outside the kitchen, preparing game. Upon hearing this, Xu Yu turned his head to look over.
Uncle Jiang was standing outside the door, and no one was visible here.
She thought for a moment, wiped her hands and walked over.
She seldom saw Uncle Jiang, so when she suddenly saw him, she was shocked by his appearance.
Although he is the youngest of three brothers, he looks older than his two older brothers, especially with half of his hair white and a hunched back. At first glance, he looks much older than Grandpa Hu, even though he is not even fifty years old.
When Uncle Jiang saw her, Xu Yu greeted him: "Uncle Jiang."
Uncle Jiang nodded at her, his smile full of vicissitudes.
He obviously didn't know what to say to Xu Yu, so he told her about his idea of treating them to a meal.
Xu Yu knew their family's situation, so he said, "You don't have to be so polite. My parents are coming tomorrow morning, so they won't leave until the evening."
Uncle Jiang smiled disappointedly: "Well, forget it then."
After saying that, he prepared to go back.
"Uncle San, wait a moment."
Jiang Yi's voice came from behind Xu Yu and the others.
Uncle Jiang's body actually trembled.
Jiang Yi came over quickly, holding a prepared rabbit in his hand. He handed it to him and said, "Take it back and eat it."
"No... no need."
Uncle Jiang refused helplessly.
Jiang Yi didn't take it back either.
The two men only confronted each other for two seconds before Uncle Jiang took the rabbit.
Xu Yu actually felt that Uncle Jiang’s sudden visit to them must have been more than just a simple invitation to dinner.
She asked, "Uncle San, do you have anything else to ask us?"
Uncle Jiang's body trembled, and then he stole a glance at Jiang Yi, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, his face flushed red, and he said quickly and uncomfortably, as if he had made up his mind, "I want to ask your military doctor to help Ah Jun."
Jiang Jun is his disabled son whose wife ran away.
Hearing this, Xu Yu and the other two fell silent.
Uncle Jiang felt even more embarrassed when he saw that they were silent.
This middle-aged man was bent by the burden of life. He was not as successful as his eldest brother, was not liked by his parents, and his son was disabled. When he heard that Jiang Yi brought back a military doctor, he had always wanted to come and ask the military doctor to check on his son, but he never dared to do so because the fifteenth day of his birthday was coming soon and the military doctor might leave.
So even though he was very afraid of Jiang Yi, he still mustered up the courage to come find them.
He knew that he had not helped his elder brother and sister-in-law at all when they were in such a difficult time. They should not complain if they did not agree to his request, but his family's life was too hard. If his son's disability could be cured, their lives would definitely be much better than they were now.
He looked at them with expectant and cautious eyes.
His cracked lips opened and closed.
The less they spoke, the more helpless and bitter he felt.
After a while, he still didn't get a reply from them. Even though he was disappointed, he knew he couldn't blame them. His nose was sore and his eyes were hot. Before tears could fall, he said quickly, "No, forget it. I'll go back first."
"We can't make the decision for Dr. Hu. You can ask him yourself."
Jiang Yi spoke again, and Uncle Jiang paused in his steps, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
Xu Yu and the other two didn't look at him, but turned to look at Doctor Hu who was standing at the door of the main room.
Doctor Hu walked over with his hands behind his back, his face dignified: "What's the situation with his son?"
Uncle Jiang quickly said, "I fell down the mountain several years ago and can't walk anymore."
"How high is the mountain? Is there anyone to help him treat it?"
"A mountain over 40 feet high. Doctor Huang treated him before."
At this point, Uncle Jiang shrank his neck, feeling uneasy and nervous under Dr. Hu's more serious expression.
Doctor Hu thought for a moment before saying, "You go back first. I'll wait for Comrade Huang to come over and ask about the situation."
Uncle Jiang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay!"
Doctor Hu added, "Don't get your hopes up. Since Doctor Huang treated your son, I may not be able to help him."
Uncle Jiang had originally been holding onto the idea of trying his luck, and knowing that Dr. Hu was a military doctor, he wanted to ask him to see his son. Hearing what he said, he continued to nod and then said, "Then I'll go back first."
Finished talking and left.
After everyone left, Jiang Yi closed the door and the three of them walked inside together.
Dr. Hu asked about Jiang Jun's condition again. Yang Wenhui knew quite a bit, so she told him everything she knew.
After hearing this, Dr. Hu didn't say much, but followed Xu Yu and the others to the place where the game was collected.
He asked Xu Yu, "Xiao Yu'er, what do you think of this patient?"
Xu Yu replied honestly, "His muscles and bones were all necrotic. It was all thanks to Grandpa Huang that he didn't have his limbs amputated. Unless..."
Xu Yu suddenly stopped talking here.
She suddenly realized that many medical technologies in this era were very backward, and she could not use medical technology from decades later to discuss Jiang Jun's disabled leg.
Xu Yu's sudden pause made Doctor Hu's heart skip a beat. He had a feeling this girl had a lot of novel ideas that would make Chinese medicine advance rapidly. He asked hurriedly, "Unless what?"
Jiang Yi and Yang Wenhui also looked at her.
Xu Yu cursed himself for being too talkative in his heart, and had to use the technology available in this era to say: "My personal opinion, I think..."
After Xu Yu said a few words, Dr. Hu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and then he called her: "Xiao Yu'er, wait a minute, I'll get a pen and paper to write it down first."
After saying that, he turned around and went to get a pen and paper.
Xu Yu: “…”
Then, until everyone was ready to go to bed in the evening, Dr. Hu was still discussing the treatment plan for disability with Xu Yu.
It was getting really late, so Doctor Hu said, "We'll discuss this again tomorrow when Comrade Huang arrives. I think this plan we discussed is very good. If it can be put into practical use, then many of our country's injured soldiers will have the possibility of recovery."
……
After washing up and lying on the bed, Xu Yu was still thinking: I must not talk too much in the future. I am just a beauty and health practitioner. I don't know anything about curing diseases and saving lives. Especially with the current medical technology, it is not enough to treat many serious diseases. If I say too much, people will be suspicious.
At this moment, Jiang Yi, who was holding her, suddenly said to her: "Xiaoyu, you are very good."
Xu Yu was startled and looked up in the darkness.
Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she could feel that he was staring at her.
Xu Yu suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, and subconsciously asked: "Don't you think I'm talking nonsense?"
"I don't think so. The fact that you have Dr. Hu's approval proves that you speak very well."
Xu Yu leaned on his chest, listened to his steady and strong heartbeat, and suddenly smiled.
I was thinking: How about finding a suitable time to test him and see if he can accept metaphysics?
