Chapter 305 7 Era 10
Hearing Lan Hanlu's words, the woman's eyes lit up, "Oh, it's a girl, she would be so beautiful if she grew her hair down.
Even with short hair, she looks good. It’s just that she dresses a bit like a boy. If she hadn’t spoken, I wouldn’t have recognized her.
Of course, she always wore dark clothes, had an underdeveloped body, had short hair, and didn't talk, so she didn't look like a boy.
"Can I call you Auntie separately? Calling you auntie makes you sound old. You just look a little older than my sister." Lan Hanlu automatically started to speak sweet words.
The woman covered her mouth with her hands in an exaggerated laugh, the fine lines around her eyes not making her look older. "Why is this kid's words so catchy? Okay, okay, just call her that. Are you going out to do something? Go ahead, I'll let you know if anything happens."
"Thank you, Auntie. I just moved in and have a lot to arrange. I'll make something delicious tomorrow and bring it to you guys."
The two of them chatted pleasantly for a few minutes, and then Lan Hanlu hurried to find Dr. Huang to discuss the reduction.
Doctor Huang was secretly delighted to see someone trust his bone-setting skills, and he was also interested in learning more about Lan Hanlu's medical knowledge. The two chatted for a while, but fortunately, they had confirmed the bone-setting appointment for tomorrow.
I went back and told my second uncle and Lan Dacheng about this. "Doctor Huang said that if it's successful, I can go home after the bone is straightened and rest for three or four days. I just need to come back for regular checkups.
If you don't have time to come, go to the county hospital for a checkup and come back in about a month."
Lan Dacheng nodded and felt relieved. Although he knew that Lan Hanlu had money, it was better to spend less. After all, he was used to it and always felt that the way she spent money now was like flowing water.
Ms. Ren, who was in the bed next to them, listened to them finish their business and joined in the chatter with a smile. "How old is this girl? Look at how quick she is at speaking and doing things. She's less of a worry than my two boys."
"Auntie, I'm 14 years old. How many children do you have?" Lan Hanlu saw her second uncle coming back with water, and quickly threw a towel to her father to wipe his hands and face.
Lan Dacheng didn't want his daughter to wait on him. After all, his leg was injured, and there was nothing wrong with his hand. Who knew that the nurse came over to give Lan Dacheng an injection? He didn't dare to waste her time waiting, so he quickly gave her the injection.
After the needle was inserted into Lan Hanlu, she began to wash him. Lan Dacheng worked in the coal mines, and the folds of his exposed skin were covered in black matter. It wasn't that he didn't want to wash it, but it was simply impossible to wash it off after so many years.
Not to mention expecting Li Cui to prepare soap for him. The soap he got from home was used by Li Cui herself, and even Lan Hanlu was not allowed to use it.
I soaked my hands and face in warm water, then applied soap and rubbed them thoroughly. It wasn't quite clean, but it was much better.
I changed the basin of water and washed his hair again. Of course, I didn't use any shampoo, I just used soap.
Seeing this, Ren Hong poked her husband and said, "Old Zhao, you still have to raise a daughter. You can't count on the ones in our family, let alone after marriage. After marriage, people forget their mothers after marrying a wife."
Old Zhao nodded without even looking up. He couldn't say anything. If he said anything wrong in reply, Comrade Ren Hong would scold Old Zhao's entire family, from the past three generations to the present.
Li Xin came back from outside, holding a lunch box and two teacups. He nodded at Ren Hong and the others, then said to Lan Hanlu and the others, "Second uncle, old uncle, Lulu, I've booked a room in the guesthouse. From now on, Lulu and I will take charge of one shift, and second uncle will take charge of the other.
This way, it would be convenient for my uncle to go to the toilet, and the rest of the people could go to the guesthouse to have a sleep. As for the state-owned restaurant, all that was left was dumplings.
They said it's not mealtime, so they won't serve anything else." He put down what he was holding and handed the chopsticks to the others.
Lan Hanlu picked up the lunch box and said, "My dad and I will eat these. You and Second Uncle will each have a teacup. After we finish eating, I'll go to the market for a walk."
Lan Hanlu picked up the chopsticks and was about to feed Lan Dacheng, but this time he said he would do nothing. How could he let his daughter eat what he had left?
It was really inconvenient to hold it with one hand, so she used the other to push and gesture. Anyway, she let Lan Hanlu eat first. Seeing that he was about to get angry, Lan Hanlu had no choice but to eat first.
After he finished eating, I fed him again. In the meantime, the nurse came over to change the medicine. Dr. Huang also came over to check again and confirmed the time for reset tomorrow.
After dinner, Lan Hanlu wanted to go out for a walk. Li Xin was worried, so he followed her out. Before leaving, he asked Ren Hong, who knew that there was an alley behind the hospital where contraband goods were sold.
Otherwise, you have to walk south for more than 20 minutes. There is a formal market with all kinds of things. If there are many people buying things, you need a ticket. There is also a street behind the glass factory selling contraband.
Ren Hong was a talkative person, and she grew increasingly excited as she spoke. If her husband, Lao Zhao, hadn't been unable to bear it any longer and was coughing, she would have mentioned a few more places.
But this was enough. The two of them left the hospital and went to a distant market, mainly because Li Xin didn't allow him to sell contraband there.
It is always said that you are afraid of getting into trouble when you are in an unfamiliar place, but after the two people arrived at the market, they found that they could not buy anything. After all, regular places would not sell to you without a ticket.
I had no choice but to go to the black market. Although it was a black market, it was not secretive at all. There were people squatting on the ground selling goods, although they didn't shout.
But there was a lot of bargaining going on. After the two of them strolled around, Lan Hanlu generously bought a chicken for three pounds and two pounds of rice grits, which were slightly smaller than corn grits.
Two pounds of cornmeal, one pound of soybean oil, and since I didn't have a bottle, I bought someone a glass bottle. I also had some hazel mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and white fungus.
As for vegetables, there were none at all. There was a potato vendor, but the potatoes were wilted, so she passed them up and bought some dried potatoes and eggplant instead.
Li Xin was frightened by Lan Hanlu's spending habits. Seeing that it was something she liked, he bought it without caring how expensive it was. He said that everyone had dried eggplants at home, but here he could sell them at a sky-high price.
What he couldn't understand was that not only could it be sold at a sky-high price, but there were also many people who bought it.
Seeing his dazed look on their way back, Lan Hanlu kindly explained to him, "There's no place to grow vegetables in the city, and now is the lean season. We can store some food at home, as the people in the city have pretty much eaten all this winter."
So the vendors from the villages down below seemed particularly fresh and attractive. Most of the city dwellers were workers, well-off. They didn't mind spending a few extra bucks for a change of pace, buying something new and fresh.
