Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

Because the weather is clear, members of the village will resume work the next day. But because the educated youth point was severely damp before, the house was in a mess, and many things had to be relocated and purchased, so the brigade allowed the educated youth to start work one day late to settle in.

　　This was great for Su Yue. She happened to be going to Han Aiguo to surprise him, so she asked Li Xiaoqing and others to clean up the house while she went to Han’s house.

　　The Han family all went to work, and only a few children were at home at this time. Maomao, Xiaolei and Taohua’s three children were playing outside, while Mrs. Han and Han Aiguo were busy making pastries in the kitchen with Hehua.

　　Su Yue went straight to the kitchen, before anyone else arrived, “Aunty, I’m here!”

　　Old Mrs. Han smiled, “Why are you here? Don’t you want to go to work today?”

　　Su Yue stared at her without blinking. Han Aiguo blinked at the sight, and then answered the old lady, “Aunty, we have to re-purchase a lot of things that were messed up by the heavy rain before the educated youth point, so the brigade allows us to start work from tomorrow.”

　 Mrs. Han was busy with the cakes in her hand and said: “If you are short of something, if your aunt’s family has it, you can get it from your aunt’s house. Don’t waste money buying it. If there is not enough firewood in the kitchen, let Aimin and the others help. You don’t do it.”

　　Su Yue hugged the old lady’s arm and rubbed it, “I know, aunt, and I won’t be polite to you. I have important things to talk to you today.”

　　After saying that, Su Yue winked at Han Aiguo playfully, “I want to give you a surprise!”

　　Old Mrs. Han couldn’t help laughing because of her playful appearance, feeling that she was just like a child, ” You girl, what surprises do you have for us? Tell me quickly.”

　　Su Yue carefully took out a piece of paper from her pocket. It was exactly the formula that was exchanged from the system mall last night, but it was not the original system The recipe she was given was re-written using the current paper and pen. She couldn’t take out such an antique recipe and show it directly to others. It would be hard to tell where it came from. After all, ordinary people at this time don’t know calligraphy, let alone such good calligraphy.

　　”Dang-dang-dang-dang!” Su Yue flicked the paper in front of the old lady, “Madam, here comes the surprise! This is a prescription I asked someone to find out from the city. It is specially used to treat legs. I heard that It’s very useful for leg injuries.”

　　”What?” Old Mrs. Han suddenly dropped the dough in her hand. She didn’t even bother to pick it up. She looked at the recipe in Su Yue’s hand with surprise and joy, and wanted to reach out and pick it up. Afraid that her hands would stain the paper, “Girl, you didn’t lie to auntie, can this prescription really cure the legs?”

　　Seeing that the old lady was about to burst into tears, Su Yue hurriedly explained to her: “Auntie, Why would I lie ? I heard that this recipe is really effective. It can definitely cure Brother Han’s legs. Let’s try it on Brother Han quickly.”

“ This…this… This is really great, is such a good thing possible? Can it really cure the eldest’s leg?” Mrs. Han was so happy that she was almost into tears, and wiped it with her sleeve.

　　With tears in the corners of her eyes, she nodded and said: ” We have to try it, we must try it. Even if we don’t know the effect, we have to try it and see if it works. We can’t let this opportunity go. It would be great if the eldest’s leg can really heal.”

　　Seeing the old lady’s full support, Su Yue felt relieved. As long as the old lady supported it, this matter could be implemented.

　　She turned to look at Han Aiguo and asked him quickly: “Surprised ?”

　　Han Aiguo understood, and looked at her eyes that turned into puddles of water. He really didn’t know that the surprise she was talking about turned out to be a prescription for treating his legs. He asked his retired comrades to inquire about it, but there was no news so far. He was about to lose confidence and was prepared to never get the prescription in his life. Unexpectedly, she found it for him and suddenly appeared in front of him.

　　He Han Aiguo, could actually be cured. Even if he isn’t cured this time, he would still be happy to do so.

　　Seeing that it was still early, Su Yue said, “Auntie, I got this prescription, but I don’t know if the medicinal materials in it can be obtained in the hospital. I thought it was still early, so I wanted to borrow a car and go with Han Aiguo, to the hospital in the town to find a leg doctor to see if we can get the medicine prescribed. If not, let’s go to the hospital in the city to see.”

When Mrs. Han heard this, wiping his hands, she hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, “I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll borrow a car for you now. You and Aiguo go to the town and have a look. It’s better to prepare the prescription a day earlier.”

The old lady ran away in a flash. Her legs and feet were really nimble. Before Su Yue could make a few pastries, the old lady trotted back again. She also borrowed the brigade’s mule cart and kept urging Su Yue and Han Aiguo to hurry to the hospital.

　　Han Aiguo was sitting in front of the car driving the mule, and Su Yue was sitting behind him, close to him, stretching out her fingers to playfully poke him behind his back, “Are you surprised by the surprise I gave you? Do you like it ? ?”

　　Han Aiguo let her make trouble behind him, but tilted his head slightly, stretched out his finger and tapped her nose, full of doting, “Surprise, I like it.”

After a pause, he looked at her Eyes, said seriously: “Yue’er, thank you.” Thank you for everything you have done for me.

　　Su Yue grabbed his finger and shook it, saying nothing.

　　The two of them rushed quickly and arrived at the commune hospital in about forty minutes. Han Aiguo went directly to Dr. Wang, who treated his leg, gave him the prescription, and asked him to get these Chinese medicinal materials.

　　Doctor Wang is an old doctor in his fifties, and he also knows a little bit about Chinese medicine, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn’t see anything. He couldn’t help but ask: “What kind of prescription is this?”

　　Han Aiguo: “This is from the city unintentionally. I found a prescription there. I heard it is very effective for leg injuries like mine. I will give it a try.”

　　Dr. Wang frowned when he heard this. “I don’t know if this prescription will work. You must not be in a hurry. You’re going to the doctor randomly. What if you can’t cure it, but it gets damaged instead? No, no, no, don’t do it randomly.”

　　But Han Aiguo said: “Doctor Wang, you also know my leg, even if it is cured, it can get worse. What can I go? Anyway, this leg is useless, it is better to give it a try, at least there is hope.”

Dr Wang thought , knowing the condition of his leg, it is definitely disabled. Even if it is cured, there is really no way to make it work. What Han Aiguo said makes sense. It is broken anyway, so it is better to give it a try, just in case.
As for the hope of a cure, even if it doesn’t work, it’s still hopeless at worst. Anyway, although he couldn’t tell whether this prescription could cure his legs, he was sure that it would not be life-threatening.

　　Dr. Wang finally compromised, “Then I’ll get these medicinal materials for you. You guys can try it, but if you feel something is wrong, you must stop taking the medicine and don’t mess around.”

　　Han Aiguo and Su Yue looked at each other, and saw a hopeful smile in their eyes.

　　Dr. Wang was out for a long time, but when he came back, his hands were empty.

　　Su Yue was startled, “Doctor Wang, can’t you get the medicinal materials in your hospital?”

　　Doctor Wang waved his hands and said a little embarrassed: “Our hospital can still get them, that is… there are… Some of the medicines are relatively precious, and our hospital only has a little bit, and the price is very expensive. I don’t know if you can accept it.”

　　Of course Su Yue can accept it. Even the most expensive medicines must be given to Han Aiguo. How can money not be used?

“Dr. Wang, we will buy it no matter how expensive it is. You can make an order for us.”

　　Seeing Su Yue buying it without asking, Dr. Wang thought to himself that this girl must not know how expensive this medicinal material is.
He just said they went to get the medicine, they were all frightened to death by the price, so he explained the price to them: “Don’t rush to buy it. There are some medicinal materials in it that are really expensive. A pack of external medicine costs three yuan , a pack for internal use costs two yuan.”

　　Su Yuemei’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the price. The price is really not cheap. No wonder Dr. Wang said it was expensive. It can be taken internally three times a day and externally once a day. At this price, it costs nine yuan a day and close to three hundred yuan a month. In this era when the average salary of ordinary workers is more than thirty yuan, Three hundred yuan a month is a sky-high price.

　　Ordinary people would definitely be frightened by the price and dare not buy it. But now that she is doing business with the Han family, she can still barely pay for the medicine.

　　So Su Yue affirmed again: “We will buy it even if it is expensive. Dr. Wang, please give us an order. We will need half a month’s supply first.”

　　Han Aiguo wanted to say something, but Su Yue quickly stopped him and glared. She looked at him and told him not to interrupt, otherwise he would definitely be worried about the money and wouldn’t let her buy so much.

　　Dr. Wang was a little surprised when he saw that she was not frightened by the price, and even bought half a month’s supply. He looked at her and then at Han Aiguo, and couldn’t help but smile, thinking that this little girl is really nice to Han Aiguo, It’s not easy to find such a partner. Boy Han is quite lucky.

　　Doctor Wang went out again, and this time he came back with a big bag in his hand, which contained packages of prepared medicinal materials. He opened it and showed it to the two of them, “Here is half a month’s supply, for external application and internal use.”

” Separate, you try it first, if it works, then buy it, if it doesn’t, don’t try it again.”

　　”Dr. Wang, we understand, thank you.” The two said goodbye to Dr. Wang, and came out of the hospital with the medicine. At this time Han Aiguo then said, “Yue’er, this medicinal material is too expensive. If it doesn’t work, it will be a waste. Why do you have to buy so much?”

Su Yue Said: “This medicinal material will definitely be useful. How can you see the effect if you only use it for a day or two? Of course, you can only use it for a few more days. I tell you, you must not worry about money this time. You must insist on taking the medicine. It is not easy to get the prescription. If you give up halfway because you are worried about money, I will ignore you.”

　　Han Aiguo knew that she was doing it for his own good. She had worked so hard to get this prescription, so naturally he would live up to her wishes, he would use it even if it was expensive. When his leg healed, he would be able to earn back the money.

　　The two of them returned to Han’s house and told Old Mrs. Han about the medicinal materials. However, Old Mrs. Han had the same idea as Su Yue. No matter how expensive it was, she had to treat it. She couldn’t care about money. After all, money was not as important as health.

　　At that moment, Mrs. Han put the medicinal materials for internal use in a special jar for boiling medicine as Su Yue said, put it on the stove to boil, and then put the medicinal materials for external application in a large pot to cook. The recipe said that it should be cooked until it finally turn into a paste, apply the paste on the leg injury, wrap it with gauze, and change the dressing the next day.

　　The house was suddenly filled with the smell of Chinese medicine, which even overshadowed the original fragrance of the pastries.

　　When the Han family came back from work to eat, they smelled the smell as soon as they entered the house. The second Han asked strangely: “Have you made medicine at home? Who is not feeling well?”

　　Mrs. Han put the food on the table and asked everyone to wash their hands and eat. After everyone was seated, they talked about the prescription. Of course, the old lady did not hide the price of the medicinal materials. After all, they were a family, and they still had the right to know where the money was spent.

　　The third daughter-in-law of Han was immediately shocked when she heard the price of the medicinal materials. “Mom, this medicine is too expensive. How can you buy such expensive medicine!”

　　When Mrs. Han heard this, she was not happy. “Why, why can’t I buy an expensive medicine, this is the medicine is for treating your brother’s legs, no matter how expensive it is, we have to use it.”

　　This time Han’s third daughter-in-law was so stimulated by the money that she was no longer afraid of the old lady, and immediately shouted: “It’s about three hundred yuan a month , which family can afford this? This is going to make our family poor. Don’t the whole family have to eat!”

Old Mrs. Han was angry, “Then I will eat less ! Aren’t you eating, am I keeping you hungry ?”

　　”But…but…” Han’s third daughter-in-law was speechless at this point, and then she said from the other side: “But… We don’t know if this medicine works or not. What if it doesn’t work? Wouldn’t all this money will be wasted? The doctors at the big hospital said that my brother’s leg can’t be cured. How can this wild prescription drug from where it comes from can cure? Mom, don’t believe these things. Our family is not very rich, so how can we waste money like this!”

　　”What is waste! This is for treating your eldest brother’s leg. As long as there is hope, we have to try it. I will give the money. Even if you are not willing to spend it, what I am spending is not the money you earned. Why are you nagging here! What qualifications do you have to nag!” Old Mrs. Han’s face was completely downcast now, she put down the bowl in her hand with a “pop” and let out a heavy sound. A sound.

　　”But this money belongs to all of us. When the time comes -”

　　Han Lao San’s daughter-in-law blurted out in anger, but was immediately interrupted by Han Lao San, “Fangzi, what are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense!”

　　Han Lao San’s daughter-in-law also said Realizing that she almost said the wrong thing, she looked at her husband’s unhappy eyes and finally didn’t dare to say anything more, but was still angry.

　　Very well, her heart bleeds when she thinks that all the money in the family will be spent. So much money belongs to them. When the family is divided, they can at least divide one or two hundred yuan, but if they are together then, they have nothing.

　　”Mom, although I didn’t earn this money, it belongs to all of us. You can’t just care about eldest brother and ignore the others. You have four sons. This bowl of water must be leveled.”

Old Mrs. Han was so angry that she Shake, “Are you saying that I didn’t pay enough for my other sons ? When you married the third child, your family didn’t pay anything, but you asked for so many colorful gifts. All this money was earned by your eldest brother. If it hadn’t been for you Brother, what did you ask the third child to give to your family? If you want to say that money is not balanced, it is because I am sorry for your brother and used the money he worked so hard to give to his useless brothers. Now that he wants to treat his leg, you come and tell me that a I am being partial ! You black-hearted people!”

　　”That’s enough! You bitch, stop talking nonsense, if you don’t then I’ll divorce you!” Han Lao san saw that his mother was angry with his own wife. He was so breathless that he quickly scolded his wife , his face looking uglier than ever.

　　Seeing that he actually said that he wanted to divorce her, Han’s third daughter-in-law’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she ran back to the room crying, and slammed the door loudly.

　　The children were all frightened, and none of them even dared to eat.

　　Han Laosan ignored her and went to pat Mrs. Han’s back. “Mom, don’t be ignore her. She is not sensible. I will go back and talk to her. Don’t be angry.”

　　Mrs. Han slapped his hand away and looked around at everyone, “Who else among you has an opinion? Say it once and for all.”

　　Han’s second daughter-in-law’s eyes flashed, and she was stared at by the old lady’s stern eyes. She didn’t dare to say the words in her mouth, and she lowered her head to eat in silence.

　　Han Aiguo, who had been silent all the time, raised his head and spoke slowly, “Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, your eldest brother is borrowing money from his family for his leg treatment this time. After the eldest brother’s leg is healed, I will give the money to my mother and won’t let all the family’s money go to waste. Don’t worry.”

　　When he said this, the expressions of the three brothers changed. Han Aimin was the first to speak: “Brother, you don’t need to pay back the money , I can make money for treating your legs, no matter how much we have pay!”

　　Han Aiguo patted his head.

　　Han Lao Er also said: “Brother, it’s right to treat your leg. As long as it can be cured, it doesn’t matter how much it costs.”

　　Han Lao San’s face was full of shame, and he was embarrassed to look into Han Aiguo’s eyes. “Brother, don’t pay attention to what Fangzi said. It’s important for you to take good care of your leg.”

　　Han Aiguo said nothing, nodded to them, and patted Mrs. Han’s hand, “Mom, don’t be angry, let’s eat.”

　　Seeing the son’s attitude was quite good. The old lady’s anger finally subsided a little. She didn’t ask anyone to call Han Laosan’s wife. She started eating directly. After the meal, she put away the bowls and chopsticks without giving third daughter-in-law any rice.
