Chapter 1030 The Famous Midwife
Dagagong glanced at Old Suntou, who said: "Brother, just tell the truth. Qing'er is a sensible person and will not blame you randomly."
Hearing what Lao Suntou said, Dagagong nodded.
He turned around and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Here's the thing, your mother-in-law Zeng is not in good health these days. She keeps coughing, and she doesn't get better even after taking medicine."
"I told your Grandfather about this. A few days ago, your Grandfather sent me a message saying that the medicine outside is better than that in the mountains."
"I was thinking about it, so I took your old lady out of the mountain."
"Unexpectedly, on the mountain road, the unicycle almost tipped over and fell to the bottom of the cliff."
"Fortunately, I met my eldest grandson-in-law, so nothing happened to the person and the car."
"I went out to protect myself, so I tied a hatchet to the ground of the wheelbarrow. Perhaps when I was pulling it, the hatchet hit me, and my eldest grandson-in-law was injured..."
"I'll apologize to you, Dagagong. This is a Chinese New Year, but you still managed to do such a bloody and unfortunate thing..."
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to interrupt the old man.
"Daqong Gong, don't blame yourself, I don't blame you for this," she said.
"He'll apply some medicine and rest for two days and he'll be fine. You don't need to take it to heart."
The old man was stunned.
He looked at Yang Ruoqing with a grateful face.
"The eldest grandson is really a virtuous and sensible person, just like Shuzhen when she was a child..." he praised.
The old Suntou on the side also had a look of relief, a mixture of relief and pride.
"My granddaughter is more promising than her mother. She opens a shop and does business. She is the one who supports this family..."
Yang Ruoqing was a little embarrassed to be praised like this by the two lords.
"So, the old lady is here? Where is she? I'm going to see her!" she said.
Lao Suntou said: "In the side courtyard, where is your grandmother?"
…
In the side yard, when Yang Ruoqing came over, she happened to see Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun helping an old woman out of the house.
The old woman was so old that she couldn't describe it.
The whole person looked as if it had been dried. The skin on his face seemed to have been waxed, and there were traces carved on the wax surface.
On her head was a black prison cloth turban that an old country lady usually wore, and she was wearing old clothes that were also patched.
Being supported by Mrs. Ga and Mrs. Sun from one side to the other, it was like holding a thin black chicken.
"Qing'er, when did you come back?"
Sun saw Yang Ruoqing at a glance and asked in surprise.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I've been back for a while, and I just finished treating Tang Yazi's wounds."
"How is Tangyazi's wound? Is it in the way?" Mrs. Sun asked quickly.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's not a big deal, don't worry."
Her eyes fell on the old woman in front of her.
"Mom, is this the old lady?" she asked.
Mrs. Sun nodded hurriedly: "She is my eldest grandmother, you should call her Lao Ga Po."
Yang Ruoqing hurried over and said hello to the old woman.
"Lao Ga Po."
He shouted in a crisp voice, and the old woman in front of him just raised her head.
He stared at her with a pair of cloudy eyes.
"Qing'er, your old lady is old and deaf, please speak louder," Mrs. Sun said again.
Yang Ruoqing increased the decibel level and shouted twice more in one breath.
The old woman still looked confused and turned to look at Mrs. Sun: "Whose child is this? What are you talking about? Why can't I hear a word clearly?"
Mrs. Sun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Pointing at Mrs. Sun, she said: "She is Shuzhen's eldest daughter. You hugged her more than ten years ago."
The old lady's ears don't work very well, but her memory seems to be pretty good.
As soon as Mrs. Sun reminded her, she quickly remembered it.
"Oh, I remember, it's that chubby and silly girl?"
Mrs. Sun and the others had black lines on their heads.
Mrs. Sun smiled and came over to support Yang Ruoqing and brought it to the old lady for her to see: "Old man, take a closer look and see where this girl is fat?"
"Now, I don't know how beautiful Chuuluo is!" Dasun said.
The old lady looked Yang Ruoqing up and down and nodded repeatedly.
"A woman's 18th transformation is really becoming more and more beautiful!" she said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Thank you, old lady, for the compliment."
The old woman nodded and turned to tell Mrs. Sun: "Take me to see that young man quickly. In order to save this damn old woman like me, all the children were injured..."
Mrs. Sun said: "Okay, okay, I'll take you to see it."
But Yang Ruoqing stopped them: "I just came over there, don't go now, he just fell asleep after taking medicine."
Old Mrs. Sun stopped and conveyed Yang Ruoqing's meaning loudly into the old woman's ear.
The old woman nodded and looked at Yang Ruoqing: "Are you really okay?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head, "It's okay."
The old woman nodded with relief: "When he turns around and wakes up, I will go and have a look. He is a good boy..."
Da Sun giggled.
"Grandma, that good boy you mentioned is Qing'er's fiancé!" Da Sun said.
When the old woman heard this, her cloudy eyes actually lit up.
He looked at Yang Ruoqing and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
The old woman was helped back to the house by Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun to rest.
Here, Mrs. Sun went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook.
Yang Ruoqing came to the kitchen to help Da Sun.
The two of them talked about the old lady and the big lady and her son.
Da Sun said: "You, Daga Gong, brought Old Gaga out this time to get her some medicine from the town medical center to treat her asthma."
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "How old is this old lady?"
Da Sun said: "She must be seventy-five or six years old. She is the oldest one in our Sunjiagou area."
"Even if he were left in Changping Village, he would still be a long-lived old man!" she said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "That's true."
In ancient times when medical treatment was relatively backward in terms of convenience, the average life span of people was relatively short.
Get married and have children when you are fifteen or sixteen, and you can become mother-in-law and father-in-law by the time you are thirty.
Over fifty, if you can climb to sixty, your body and bones are considered good.
Elders like Lao Ga Po, who are superior to Da Ga Gong and Ga Gong, can't even pick out one or two with lanterns in several villages.
"You old lady, don't think she is blind and deaf now. You can't even hear her scolded in front of her face." Da Sun continued.
"I think back when she was young, I heard she was very powerful. She was a famous midwife in villages all over the country."
"Oh?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.
Mrs. Dasun continued: "Your mother and I were both delivered by her."
"Your husband, she was also the one who delivered the baby."
"This powerful Eight Villages, many elderly people are said to have been delivered by her back then!" Dasun said.
"How many brushes do you really have?" Yang Ruoqing said.
"Having an elder in the family is a treasure. Dagagong himself is over 50 years old, and he still pushed my mother all the way out of the mountains to see a doctor. This kind of filial piety is really rare." She continued.
Hearing this, Mrs. Sun stopped chopping vegetables.
