Chapter 76

I don't know how long it will take to give Aunt Zhang acupuncture today. After Xia Xi has Zhu and Lan'er cleaned up, she gives the things to Mr. Zhang's hands and asks them to drive the carriage back first.

"When you go back, go to the village head and ask him to buy some green bricks for me. I want to heighten the wall. In addition, I want to buy a strong gate for me."

Zhu Shousheng, go to the village head.

Xia Xi leads Qi'er to Zhang Ye's house.

Mr. Zhang has been waiting at the door, with his hands behind him, and his face is a little nervous. See Xia Xi Niang two come over, shake off to stride to greet to go up, walk to front, but don't know what to say, just nodded, "come."

"How is Aunt Zhang today?"

Xia Xi asked with a smile.

He came to Mr. Zhang and went on without stopping.

Mr. Zhang turned to keep up and said, "it's very good. I haven't been ill since that day."

They talked and soon returned to the yard.

Aunt Zhang was waiting at the door of the house with a smile. Seeing the three people coming in, she waved to Qi'er first, "good boy, come on, grandma has prepared delicious food for you."

"You will spoil him like this."

Xia Xi smiles and leads Qi'er to the past.

Aunt Zhang bent slightly, holding Qi'er's other hand, "I want to spoil him, but I don't have that fortune."

Then he gouged out Master Zhang.

Mr. Zhang touched his nose and didn't dare to say anything.

The old lady snorted at him and led Qi'er in. She took out the snacks she had prepared in the morning and put them in front of Qi'er. "Eat, I'll suffer in the market on this cold day. I'm so sad."

"Thank you, grandma."

Kiel thanks and doesn't reach for it.

"I said lady Xia..."

Aunt Zhang looked at Xia Xi and still laughed, "it's too cold. Qi'er is still young. I'll suffer more in the market with you. It's better for you to send him here after you come every day. On the one hand, you can be my companion. On the other hand, you can make the child suffer less."

Xia Xi did not speak, Qi'er has opened her mouth, her voice is clear and childish, "grandma, it's OK, my mother is too hard, I want to stay with her to help."

"Oh, how can this child be so sensible?"

Aunt Zhang touched Qi'er's head and wished he was her own grandson.

"Kiel is my lifeblood. I can't leave him for a moment."

Xia Xi said with a half true and half false smile.

Aunt Zhang understood the meaning of her words and changed the topic with a smile, "ze'er said, are you going to treat me today?"

"I've seen a similar disease from a medical book before, and I want to give you a try in the same way."

"It's very kind of you to trouble lady Xia."

"I can't talk about trouble, but I've never tried it. You are the first one. You should be prepared."

What she said was half true and half false, with a little mischievous, which made Aunt Zhang laugh. "You should be ready in your heart. If you dare to treat my body which can pass at any time, you need a lot of courage."

Xia Xi also laughs, and her eyebrows and eyes bend together.

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly cheerful.

Zhang Ye's nervous mood also dissipated.

Let Zhang Ye and Qi'er stay outside, Xia Xi and Aunt Zhang enter the inner room.

Today, I ordered a charcoal basin in the house. It's warm.

On the Kang, there was a whole set of silver needles wrapped in a nice needle cover.

Aunt Zhang picked it up and handed it to Xia Xi. "Ze'er took it back early in the morning. She said that you made it specially for my illness. I really don't know how to thank you."

Xia Xi took it, put it aside, and reached out to help her on the Kang. "I've long wanted to play a game. I don't know reliable people. Thanks to Mr. Zhang's introduction, I not only played well, but also saved a lot of money."

"You are so sweet. If anyone marries you as his daughter-in-law, it's a great blessing."

Finish saying, eyes fixed on the look of Xia Xi.

Xia Xi smiles and doesn't speak.

Let Aunt Zhang lie down, take off her coat and cover her quilt.

She took the only stool in the room, sat on the Kang and motioned Aunt Zhang to extend her hand to feel her pulse.

Aunt Zhang stopped talking and looked at her face.

The eyes are not big, the eyebrows are quite thick, the bridge of the nose is not quite, the lips are slightly thin, the skin color is white, looks, is uglier than the ordinary people, but endures. People are kind-hearted, can cook, and business brain, such a woman married into the family, is a lucky star. As for ugliness or something, it's not good for food. It's a big deal to buy some rouge powder to cover it up. When you go to the street, it's no worse than other women.

When she thought about it, Xia Xi had finished her pulse, let go of her hand, took the needle cover, opened it, and revealed a row of silver needles of different sizes inside.

She reminds her with a smile, "I'm going to get the needle."

Looking at the long silver needle, Aunt Zhang closed her eyes and said, "let's go."

Find the right acupoints, Xia Xi put a silver needle into.

The anticipated pain didn't come. Aunt Zhang opened her eyes suspiciously, saw the long needle end tremble on her body, stopped breathing for a while, and quickly closed her eyes again.

Xia Xi sees in the eye, the corner of the mouth purses.

After a while, Aunt Zhang secretly opened her eyes again. This time, she was ready to stare at the end of the needle for a while. Then she took a long breath and looked up at Xia Xi. The wrinkles on her smiling face were all crowded together. "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I've never had acupuncture before. I thought it was very painful. I didn't expect it was just like a mosquito bite."

"Why don't you say it's my skill?"

Xia Xi smiles and jokes, diverting her attention.

Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly, and the tail of the needle shook with her movements. "Your craftsmanship is really good. Even the shopkeeper of Qingci hall can't match you."

"Really?"

Xia Xi with a bright eyes, "then I can open a hospital?"

Aunt Zhang was amused by her.

Xia Xi helped her tuck in the corner of her clothes and said with a smile, "you close your eyes and calm down to have a rest for a while. When the time comes, I'll call you."

Aunt Zhang obediently closed her eyes again.

The house was quiet.

Mr. Zhang sat outside and listened to their words clearly, with a smile on his lips.

After a while, there was no movement in the room. I got up and came to the door. I quietly opened a corner of the curtain and looked inside.

Xia Xi hears the movement, revives, and makes a silent gesture towards him. Then she opens her body to let him see Aunt Zhang clearly.

Aunt Zhang's face was reddish and calm, and a faint breath came.

Zhang's heart went back, put down the curtain, went back to the stool and sat down. Looking at the peanuts on the plate in front of Qi'er, he stretched out his hand, quickly peeled a few, handed them to Qi'er, and, like Xia Xi, stretched out his hand to touch his head.
