Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 89: Thank you at the door
Lin Ruolan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, without any danger. The guards who had been guarding the yard were also happy for Shui Laowu.

At this time, the doctor, midwife, and all the helpers had left, so Li Yongfu took the others and said goodbye to leave.

"Second cabinet member, please don't leave. Stay and have dinner. I'll go cook now." When Qu Shaoyang saw this, he hurriedly tried to keep them.

"Shaoyang, please stop bothering us and take care of your mistress first.

We can go out for a walk and have a meal anywhere we go. "

Li Yongfu waved his hand and said that the Liu family was busy at the moment, so they should not stay and cause trouble.

"You and your master don't need to rush back to the platoon. It doesn't matter if we rest here for a few more days. Just take good care of your master's wife."

Li Yongfu has a good relationship with Shui Laowu, and he is a good person. If he encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely not make things difficult for Shui Laowu.

"Okay, then thank you, the waiter. Well, I boiled some red eggs, and each of you can take two, so that everyone can share in the festive mood.

After eating the wedding eggs from my master's house, the man who got married will have his wife give birth to a bunch of fat boys.

Those who don’t have a wife will surely marry a beautiful and capable wife and have a bunch of children.”

Qu Shaoyang pushed the basket in his hand forward and distributed the eggs to everyone.

When the woodcutters heard this, they all happily took the eggs, said goodbye to the water crow, and left the Liu family.

After everyone else left, Shui Laowu went into the house to accompany his wife and children, while Qu Shaoyang quickly lit a fire and cooked.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of dishes left from last night, and they are enough for several people after heating up.

Qu Shaoyang specially kneaded the dough, rolled out some noodles, cooked them, put two poached eggs in them, added some chopped green onions and sesame oil, and left them for Lin Ruolan to eat.

Shui Laowu is not short of money, and he is willing to spend money to help his wife during her confinement.

I bought a lot of millet, brown sugar, jujube, etc. I also bought four or five old hens, which were all kept in the chicken coop and killed right after they were eaten.

He even bought 200 eggs, enough for Lin Ruolan to eat during the confinement period.

After lunch, Qu Shaoyang went to the butcher and bought four pig's trotters.

Following the prescription given by Doctor Chen, he got some milk-inducing medicine, came back and made a soup with pig's trotters and the medicine, and asked Lin Ruolan to drink it to increase her milk production.

It's no wonder that Lin Ruolan had a good physique, and Doctor Chen's prescription was effective. She started to breastfeed the next morning after giving birth.

The two babies stopped crying now that they had milk, and the adults, who had been tormented by them all night, could also breathe a sigh of relief.

Shui Laowu and Qu Shaoyang still have important things to do, so the raft cannot stay in Maoer Mountain forever.

Three days later, Li Yongfu arranged for someone to come and call the master and his apprentice. Shui Laowu had no choice but to leave home reluctantly.

"Wife, I have already told Zhao's niece's wife that she will come over to take care of you during your confinement.

"Just rest assured and don't try to go out of bed. Make sure you take good care of yourself and don't let any root of disease develop." Before leaving, Shui Laowu instructed Lin Ruolan.

Lin Ruolan is old, and it is estimated that she will not be able to have another child after this one, so she must take good care of herself during the confinement period.

Since Shui Laowu couldn't stay at home to look after his wife, he followed Qu Shaoyang's advice and hired Zhao's wife to help with cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of the children every day.

With Xiaozhi's help, Lin Ruolan can rest more, which is good for her physical recovery.

Originally, Lin Ruolan did not agree with Shui Laowu's doing this. Which woman would need to hire someone to take care of her during the confinement period after giving birth?

But Shui Laowu insisted, and Lin Ruolan was really too busy taking care of the two children, so she finally agreed.

After settling down at home, the master and apprentice once again set out on their raft exile journey.

After resting for a few days in Maoer Mountain, everyone set off again in high spirits.

Along the way, they passed countless dangerous checkpoints of various sizes and headed straight for the Yanwang Nose Checkpoint.

In light of last year's experience and lessons, Shui Laowu had already asked everyone to slow down and keep a distance.

Unexpectedly, when they were still some distance away from the Yanwangbizi whistle post, they found that a raft from an unknown family had been piled up in front of them. Shui Laowu made a prompt decision and issued an order to let the raft dock, and then everyone got off the raft and went to the front to check the situation.

There were more than ten platoons in the front, and as soon as they arrived here, they ran aground and the wood piled up into a mountain. Several men in the platoon died, many were injured, and the wood piled up into a mountain.

It is said that three people went up to lift the pile, but failed to do so and ended up dying at the bottom of the river.

Now, the price for the next update has reached five hundred taels, but no one dares to step forward.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Last year at least Zhang Guozi stepped up and moved the woodpile apart. But this year, I don’t know who can move this mountain-like woodpile apart.

The old rafts in the front were piled up, blocking the river surface. The rafts at the back could not move forward and could only rely on the help of others.

For a moment, several rafts stopped at this whistle point.

"Shaoyang, let's stop watching the fun here. Let's buy some things and go to Daqinggou to visit Doctor Chen.

He has helped us a lot. If he hadn't been so thoughtful and given us medicine, your mistress would have almost died. We should go and thank him."

When Shui Laowu saw the situation, he knew that the river would not be cleared in a short time, so he told Qu Shaoyang that he wanted to go to Daqinggou to thank Doctor Chen and his family.

In fact, Qu Shaoyang also had this intention, but he didn't say it.

Since the master spoke first, Qu Shaoyang nodded.

So the two of them said something to Li Yongfu, left the checkpoint, went to the market town to buy a lot of things, and then went to Daqinggou.

As for Doctor Chen, he had been living in the county town with his wife and children for about a month and had just returned.

Doctor Chen was particularly happy to see Master Shui Laowu and his apprentice, and hurriedly invited them to sit down.

"Brother Chen, thank you so much. My wife gave birth to twins a few days ago, a boy and a girl.

It was quite dangerous at that time. The fetus was in an abnormal position and there was bleeding after the birth. Fortunately, the medicine you gave me saved my wife's life.

Big brother, please accept my greeting." Shui Laowu put the things in his hand aside, then bowed deeply and saluted respectfully.

"Oh my goodness, you are trying to torture me.

The medicine was left by our elders. I just gave it to Shaoyang. It's not a big deal.

I feel bad for you doing this." Doctor Chen quickly supported Shui Laowu.

"I am a doctor, and it is my duty to cure illnesses and save lives.

It's just that we're too far away, so I can't help much. If we were closer, your sister-in-law and I would go there to deliver the baby ourselves, and it wouldn't be so dangerous."

"No matter what, I have to thank you, brother. You saved my whole family."

The more Shui Laowu thought about it, the more scared he became. What would he do if something happened to Lin Ruolan, leaving behind two newborn babies? Would he be able to support the two children?

He is almost fifty years old. He finally has a wife and children, but in the blink of an eye, they are all gone. What is the point of his living?
"Brother, this is serious. Shao Yang also saved everyone in our village. How should we thank him?"

Doctor Chen didn't think about it and just blurted out these words.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Qu Shaoyang coughing violently.

Doctor Chen turned his head to look at Qu Shaoyang, and saw Qu Shaoyang winking at him.

"Ah? Shaoyang saved your village? What happened just now? Why didn't he tell us anything?"

The water crow's expression suddenly changed and he asked.

I will finish writing 10,000 words today and continue tomorrow.
