Chapter 211 take a step back
In the cold winter, even adults cannot withstand the cold, let alone children.
At this time, Mei Xiao was lying in her jacket, which was already burning hot. The little man had already been burning in a mess, but he was moaning in discomfort.
Dr. Song was startled and hurriedly picked him up.
Mei Zhi's expression paused and he reached out to stop him.
Although the countryside also emphasizes "there is a difference between men and women", they are all adult men and women, and there is no rule that "there is a different seat for men and women at the age of seven."
The Mei family is different. The Mei family has two generations of scholars who claim to be a scholarly family and have always paid attention to "rules".
Mei Xiao is seven years old this year. If Dr. Song is a man of a foreign surname, it is inappropriate to do so. But now, it would be ridiculous to mention such a yellow-haired girl who is seriously ill.
Mei Zhi pursed her lips, and there was more sarcasm on her face. The bullshit family, the lustful grandfather, and the father who was addicted to gambling are really fed up.
At this moment, Doctor Song had already carried Mei Xiao into the yard, and Du Qi hurriedly followed him. Mei Zhi clenched his fists hard and followed him in.
Seeing this, Mrs. Song was startled and hurriedly took over and placed Mei Xiao on the kang.
As soon as he mentioned the Mei family, he saw the two brothers and sisters coming over, and Mrs. Song was also embarrassed.
In the eyes of Mrs. Song, the Mei family is so noisy, and she is in the end because she is in the house filling. The house filling and the step-son and daughter-in-law are not in harmony. Mrs. Song is a matchmaker in the village, and the marriage between the Mei and Li families is naturally also her. This is inevitable that she feels guilty when she sees the "divorce master".
Seeing that Mei Xiao was sick like this, only two and a half-old children showed up, Mrs. Song had to complain in her heart that "the stepmother was unkind" but this was to scold Xiao Li of the Mei family and Li of the Du family.
Du Qi looked clumsy, but in the past six months he had grown much more mentally. He said to Doctor Song: "In the afternoon, someone from the yamen came. My second sister thought it was a gambling debt, so she sent Brother Zhi to climb over the wall to find someone in my house and hid Nannan in the cabinet in the old house."
Speaking of this, Du Qi was also scared. If he hadn't thought about going to the yamen to handle a few things so that Du Erniang would feel better, Du Erniang was so scared that she wouldn't have thought of these things. When she became calm and remembered her daughter, she wouldn't have dared to come back at night to pass the message without Du Qi coming, and Mei Xiao would be in danger.
I heard that it was frostbite, so I had to check Mei Xiao's body. Doctor Song first took the pulse carefully, then took Du Qi and Mei Zhi to the main hall, leaving Mrs. Song to check Mei Xiao's body.
After a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Song came out and sighed, "But I've suffered a lot. My hands and feet are afraid of frostbite. Fortunately, I'm in the house, otherwise my little body wouldn't be able to resist. In addition to taking internal medicine, I also have to apply two boxes of external applications." The latter sentence was said to Dr. Song.
However, Doctor Song still frowned and went out to grab two packs of antipyretic drugs. He wrote another prescription: "I don't care about anything else, I have to reduce my fever first. Fortunately, I can take a few more doses of the medicinal materials here. I will take one first when I go back and take one more dose in the middle of the night. I will sweat more often. I will go over to see it tomorrow. If it cannot reduce my fever, I have to change the prescription and go to the town to buy medicine."
Du Qi listened carefully, took the medicine bag, collected the prescription, and thanked him, and took out two pieces of silver from his purse, which was enough for five or six cents.
"I can't use so much." Doctor Song waved his hand: "The prescription is not expensive, four packs of medicinal materials are 180 cents."
Du Qi refused to take it back: "Tomorrow, I have to worry about you going over and have a look. Go to my house. My second brother-in-law is not at home. I will take my nephew and niece back."
Doctor Song then accepted it.
Two and a half-old boys had a sick child, and Dr. Song was not relieved and asked his son to send them back.
Seeing this, Aunt Song said, "You can't just go back like this, you still have to pack a bag." As he spoke, he went to the kang cabinet to find a quilt and put Mei Xiao in tight bags before he could take away.
Du Qi thanked again. Although Mei Zhi didn't say anything, he was grateful and his eyes were red.
Seeing this, Mrs. Song saw it, and when the group left, she couldn't help but sigh to her husband: "This little guy looks good, but Mei Er is completely useless."
Doctor Song was silent and didn't say anything. Even though he was a fellow villager, the days of other people's families were gone.

Du family, the main house.
The room was already lighted, and it was completely dark outside.
Li thought about his son and couldn't regret it. He should have stopped his son long ago, and a half-old child came forward. Who knows whether the yamen recognizes it? If they bully people or arrested their son directly, it would be a life-threatening one.
Even if the yamen does not bully others, the heavy wind and snow outside are still worrying.
At this time, Li didn't know whether to scold Du Erniang, or to sue Mei Ping, who was summoned by disobedient generals, or to scold the Gui family who bullied Mei Ping to this point.
Li was restless and couldn't help it. He wanted to go out to find his son, but Du Lizheng used the carriage at home, and even Du Qi temporarily borrowed it from the village.
Just as he was anxious, he heard something was happening in the front yard, and Li quickly greeted him.
After seeing Du Qi standing there intact, Li returned to his position and paid attention to others.
After all, he was not a cruel person. Knowing that Mei Xiao was suffering from a cold, Li quickly asked him to the upper room and hurriedly ordered someone to boil medicine.
For a moment, it was orderly.
When Sister Du Liu heard the movement, she rushed over.
But after hearing that he was suffering from the cold, Du Liujie stood far away and did not step forward.
Mei Zhi saw it, his little face was gloomy.
He personally fed Mei Xiao to take medicine, and Li looked at Du Qi again. Mei Zhi took hot noodles and drank ginger soup before sending them down to rest.
Mei Zhi wanted to stay, and Li said gently: "Your parents are not here, Nannan still expects you to take care of her. It's not a half day before you go down and rest first. You will take care of Nannan tomorrow. If you are sick, will you still tell your mother to live?"
Du Qi also said, "Don't follow the trouble. My second brother-in-law is not here, and tomorrow I may have to go to the county to find someone." After that, he pulled Mei Zhi down.
Mei Zhi reluctantly followed her. When she arrived at the door, hesitated for a moment, turned around and whispered: "Then, can you drink a bowl of ginger soup too..."
This is because he is afraid that Li will get sick.
Li's face was a little gentler and nodded, "Well, I'll drink it when I turn around, Brother Zhi and your uncle go down."
Although he followed Du Qi, Mei Zhi still remembered what Dr. Song said before, "If you don't get rid of your fever in the middle of the night, you have to feed Mei Xiao another medicine, so you can't sleep well and wake up several times."
When she heard something was happening in the kitchen, Mei Zhi put on her clothes and took a look.
Mei Xiao did not reduce the fever. Li had already asked someone to boil the second medicine and was feeding Mei Xiao himself.
Seeing Mei Zhi coming, Li did not urge him to go down this time, but only touched Mei Xiao's forehead and continued to ask the girl to change the veil.
The room was stuffy and hot, and it was hot to touch the kang. Mei Xiao had two layers of quilts covered with her body. It was obvious that Li listened to the doctor's instructions that Du Qi had forwarded and was sweating for Mei Xiao.
Mei Xiao's face was still red, but her eyebrows were much more relaxed. She was not the previous clothes, but the boy's jacket that was not old, and she was a little fat. She should be Du Qi's old clothes.
However, Li's body was still as tired as before, and his face was covered with fatigue, and he had never rested.
Mei Zhi saw it in his eyes, with confusion in his eyes.
Even if they took in two brothers and sisters, the Li family and his son didn't need to do this. However, Du Qi followed him to the yamen to handle the work while the Li family was in the middle of the night, and the grandmother Li was sleeping all night and took care of Mei Xiao personally. Why is this different from what her mother said on weekdays?
Although Mei Xiao did not subside, she was sweating. Li felt relieved and waved his hand to send Mei Zhi down.
Mei Zhi tightened her clothes and went back to the room, but tossed and turned until dawn.
When Mei Zhi woke up, Dr. Song had already arrived and was evading Mei Xiao's pulse.
Although Mei Xiao's fever did not completely subside, it was not as hot as yesterday.
Doctor Song also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Continue to use this recipe, two pastes a day, and go back and get four pastes. In addition, make some noodle soup and don't add oil for your child to eat. After these two days, it will be almost done with stewed chicken with Panax notoginseng."
After hearing this, Li asked someone to follow Dr. Song to get the medicine.
Du Lizheng did not show up, obviously not at home, but Mei Xiao was able to settle in the upper room, which was Li's idea.
Li's biological father, Lao Litou, and his father-in-law Du Lizheng, were both friends of Doctor Song who were about the same age as the rumored ones. Doctor Song was somewhat relieved to see that Li did not have the bad temperament as he was rumored to be, and he still retained some kindness.

After breakfast, Du Qi took Mei Zhi to the county town again, but this time it was Xiu Mei Xiu.
Du Erniang is the wife of the Mei family. Du Qi can come forward to take care of him, but if he really wants to pick someone up, the Mei family will come forward.
The story of Mei Xiucai's little girl getting sick was also uploaded in the village.
The Mei family is not close to the Song family. Yesterday, Du Qi's uncle and nephew were in a panic look in people's eyes. This morning, Dr. Song went to the Du family again, and someone would come to inquire.
Pooh Song believed that Xiao Li was a bad guy, and she was pitiful to Mei Zhi and his sister. She had no intention of covering up for the Mei family and directly told Mei Xiao about her illness.
If we talk about yesterday, everyone was gloating and the arrogant Du Erniang was not in trouble, and now they were all feeling a little sad.
It was almost a life, and Mei Tongsheng and Xiao Li didn't care about it. They were both arranged by two young men, Du Qi and Mei Zhi. It was a very mean thing to deal with their own flesh and blood.
"Murdering people is just a lie." This is a common occurrence for living at home. Du Erniang is arrogant and does not like her nephew. She may be a little rude to her stepmother-in-law at that age of Xiao Li, but if she really wants to say that she has any unfilial behavior to Mei Tongsheng, she is still not. Instead, she is a rare diligent woman.
At the old Gui family house, I didn’t know that there was such a thrilling follow-up to yesterday’s “news”. It was not until Grandpa Gui and Grandma Gui came in person that everyone learned about Mei Xiao’s illness.
Grandpa Gui Er is here to find Gui Chongyang.
"Why did that old guy Mei Ping sue his son? Xiao San'er, you know what you think?" Grandpa Gui Er had a solemn expression on his face.
What do Gui Chongyang Energy think?
Who knows that there will be so many things?
