Chapter 506: The Beautiful Zhou Rong
Zhou's mother looks very blessed and is also a very blessed woman.
This all stems from the fact that she married a good man.
In the TV series "The World", Zhou Bingkun's father Zhou Zhigang was an eighth-level worker who supported the Third Front.
Zhou Bingkun told Zheng Juan that his father earned fifty or sixty yuan a month.
In fact, according to the wage system at that time, Zhou Zhigang, an eighth-level worker, could get at least 110 yuan.
When Zhou Bingkun said that his father had fifty or sixty yuan every month, he probably meant that Zhou Zhigang sent fifty or sixty yuan to his family every month for living expenses.
At that time, the average monthly income of an average working-class family was less than 50 yuan.
In comparison, the Zhou family had such a high income that they were definitely a well-off family in Guangzipian Street at that time.
This also explains why a working-class family like the Zhou family can support two high school students and one junior high school student at the same time.
Moreover, the three children would not have to worry about food and drink, and would become the "free and easy" students.
In particular, Zhou Bingyi dared to pursue Hao Dongmei, who was the child of a high-ranking official. These were wealthy families, which gave him strong confidence.
Logically speaking, the Zhou family is so well-off, and if Zhou's mother gets sick, she should go to the hospital for treatment.
But Zhou's mother is a traditional woman. When she feels unwell, she thinks she just needs to hold on and endure it.
It is this kind of mentality that caused Zhou's mother's eye disease to gradually develop from a minor illness to the serious illness it is now.
Not long ago, Zhou Rong discovered that her mother had problems with her eyes and took her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told her that it would be best to have surgery and that it would be difficult to get better relying solely on medication.
At this time, Zhou's mother was reluctant to see a doctor and refused to undergo surgery, so the disease dragged on.
When Su Mingzhe arrived at Zhou's house, Zhou's mother was standing five or six meters away and could no longer recognize Su Mingzhe.
"Auntie, I'm Su Mingzhe."
"Oh, it's Mingzhe."
Mother Zhou squinted her eyes and tried to identify him. She recognized Su Mingzhe and waved quickly:
"Just come if you want to, kid. Why are you bringing things again?"
"I didn't bring anything, just some millet and flour."
Su Mingzhe walked in carrying a gift, and without waiting for Zhou's mother to find a thermos to pour water for him, he helped her sit on the kang.
"Auntie, Zhou Rong is not at home?"
"Rong'er was here just now, but I don't know where she went now. She might be back soon."
Zhou's mother knew what her daughter was doing, but she couldn't say it.
Because Zhou Rong went out to entertain Su Mingzhe and buy fruits, wine and food.
Su Mingzhe chatted with Zhou's mother for a while, and then Zhou Rong came back with her things.
"Brother Su, you are here."
When Zhou Rong saw Su Mingzhe came back before her, she felt a little ashamed.
She invited Su Mingzhe to her house to treat her mother, but she only remembered to buy something to treat Su Mingzhe at the last minute.
This also resulted in Su Mingzhe coming over but he was not at home.
Logically speaking, what I did was a bit impolite.
Su Mingzhe comforted:
"I just arrived too, and was chatting with Auntie about Bingkun."
Last year, Zhou Bingkun got the opportunity to be recommended to go to university, and he went to Northeastern University with Cai Lele.
Logically speaking, as the first child in the Zhou family to go to college, Zhou Bingkun should be the pride of the Zhou family, but Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi seldom talk about their younger brother with outsiders.
After all, Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi both believed that Zhou Bingkun was able to go to college not because he was admitted to college based on his real talents and knowledge, but because of the special policies of that era, and with the care and help of Su Mingzhe, he was able to have the opportunity to go to college.
However, although Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi are reluctant to mention their younger brother, Zhou's mother likes to mention this old acquaintance of hers.
In Zhou's mother's eyes, her youngest son Zhou Bingkun is a treasure in her heart.
"What are you talking about my brother?"
Zhou Rong put down the things in her hands, and sat down on the kang, smiling and saying:
"Brother Su, my brother went to Shenyang to study. It's fine that he didn't come home during the Chinese New Year and winter vacation, but eight months have passed and he has only written two letters in total, one when he just arrived in Shenyang and one before the winter vacation. Tell me, is there such an unfilial son?"
"Ha ha……"
Su Mingzhe smiled awkwardly and was too embarrassed to answer.
In the TV series, Zhou Bingkun stays at home to take care of his parents and is a pretty good and filial child.
However, now that Zhou Bingkun is away from home, he is just a young man who has been having fun. It is normal for him to forget to write letters to his family.
Seeing that Su Mingzhe didn't respond, Zhou Rong stopped talking about this topic.
After all, she was just complaining about her brother. If Su Mingzhe followed her and complained about Zhou Bingkun as well, she would be unhappy.
"Brother Su, please come and help my mother take a look at her eyes."
Zhou Rong still remembered why she asked Su Mingzhe to come over.
"Auntie, give me your hand, I'll take your pulse."
Su Mingzhe is now considered a medical genius. When he entered the room, he had already diagnosed the disease through observation. At this time, taking the pulse was just a confirmation.
Mother Zhou stretched out her hand.
After taking the patient's pulse, Su Mingzhe frowned and began to think about the condition and treatment plan.
According to the diagnosis, Zhou's mother's eye disease was keratitis caused by bacterial infection.
However, this infection has lasted too long and has already penetrated into the body's tissues. If you want to eradicate it, you need to treat it for a period of time.
Su Mingzhe pondered for a long time before he came up with a treatment plan.
According to the severity of Zhou's mother's condition, Su Mingzhe gave a five-course treatment plan, which would take about three months in total.
Su Mingzhe told Zhou Rong and Zhou's mother about his diagnosis and treatment plan.
Zhou Rong could just let Su Mingzhe continue with the treatment.
Zhou's mother wanted to ask Su Mingzhe how much money it would cost, but was stopped by Zhou Rong.
Su Mingzhe didn't say much. He reminded Zhou's mother of some daily life precautions, then took out silver needles and gave her acupuncture.
After the acupuncture was over, Su Mingzhe found the herbs he had brought and explained to Zhou Rong:
"I bought some herbs today and plan to make some pills. I'll give them to you every day to help alleviate your condition."
It takes too long to boil the pills, Su Mingzhe said, and took out a pen and paper, wrote out a prescription, and asked Zhou Rong to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine: "Auntie's condition is mainly caused by heart disease. This prescription can calm the mind. Go and prepare ten doses of the medicine, and boil one dose for Auntie every night before going to bed."
After hearing this, Zhou Rong took the prescription and went to buy medicine.
When Zhou Rong came back, Su Mingzhe had already prepared the pills.
Su Mingzhe took the ten prescriptions Zhou Rong brought back and began to teach Zhou Rong how to decoct the medicine.
Although it is said to be decocting medicine, it is actually divided into three steps.
Step one, soak.
Step 2: Boil over high heat.
The third step is to cook slowly over low heat.
The total time spent is at least an hour and a half.
Su Mingzhe openly dragged Zhou Rong into the kitchen and chatted for more than an hour.
Poor Zhou Rong, although she is already 24 years old, she is still innocent and was teased by Su Mingzhe in various ways, making her face blush and her blood boil.
After the medicine was ready, Su Mingzhe instructed Zhou Rong to feed it to Zhou's mother.
By this time, it was getting dark.
Zhou's mother and Zhou Rong would definitely want to keep Su Mingzhe at home for dinner.
Su Mingzhe had not originally planned to leave.
Zhou Rong cooked four dishes and a soup.
I have to say that Zhou Rong’s craftsmanship is pretty good.
After taking some calming Chinese medicine and eating a bowl of rice, Zhou's mother went back to the kang to lie down and rest.
Su Mingzhe and Zhou Rong were eating and drinking in the inner room, and before they knew it, they had finished a bottle of white wine.
Zhou Rong's complexion was originally as white as jade. At this moment, the alcohol was taking effect, and her complexion turned crimson, which was very charming and beautiful.
Su Mingzhe just looked at it a few more times and couldn't help but admire it:
"It's really a feast for the eyes!"
"Brother Su, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhou Rong felt a little embarrassed and annoyed as the man stared at her.
But thinking that Su Mingzhe had helped his family so much in the past few years and was helping his mother with her medical treatment today, he felt embarrassed to scold him.
Finally, Zhou Rong could only remind:
"Brother Su, you are drunk. It's time to go back."
"Zhou Rong, don't you know that I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?"
Su Mingzhe saw that Zhou Rong was within his reach, so he couldn't bear to leave. Facing Zhou Rong's "expulsion", he couldn't help but talk nonsense again:
"Besides, what I mean is 'Wine doesn't make people drunk, but people get drunk by themselves; flowers don't make people charming, but people get fascinated by themselves'."
Seeing that Su Mingzhe was getting more and more outrageous, Zhou Rong, although she also had deep feelings for Su Mingzhe, was unwilling to be so "lightly insulted", so she had to stand up and remind him again:
"Brother Su, you are really drunk."
"I'm not drunk!"
When Su Mingzhe saw Zhou Rong stand up, he also stood up.
I have to say, Zhou Rong is a really beautiful girl.
A pair of clear and beautiful big eyes, pink lips and pearly teeth, a slender waist, straight and long legs, graceful and beautiful.
Just by watching it a few more times, Su Mingzhe felt hot all over, which drove him to pounce on Zhou Rong.
If it were usual, Zhou Rong would have slapped the man in the face, but she was also drunk today.
Tea is the matchmaker for romance, and wine is the go-between.
Zhou Rong was drunk at the moment, and Su Mingzhe was the man she liked, so at this moment, she didn't want to resist at all.
...the evil dividing line...
The next day, afternoon.
Su Mingzhe came to Zhou's house excitedly again.
When Zhou's mother Li Suhua saw Su Mingzhe coming, she immediately looked kind and smiled.
"Mingzhe, you're here."
"Ma'am, how are you feeling today?"
Su Mingzhe greeted Zhou's mother, but his eyes glanced at Zhou Rong who was blushing beside him.
Mother Zhou drank Chinese medicine last night and slept very soundly. She had no idea that her daughter was being bullied by Su Mingzhe.
At this moment, hearing Su Mingzhe talking to her, Zhou's mother replied with a smile:
"Auntie, I feel my eyes are much better now. I can see things more clearly than yesterday."
Su Mingzhe chatted with Zhou's mother for a while, and then started to give her acupuncture.
After the acupuncture was over, Su Mingzhe told Zhou's mother to rest on the bed. He went to the inner room and deliberately called Zhou Rong:
"Zhou Rong, do you remember the order in which I taught you to boil Chinese medicine yesterday?"
"Remember!"
Seeing that Su Mingzhe dared to come to the inner room to find her, Zhou Rong was so angry that she stretched out her hand and twisted Su Mingzhe's waist hard several times.
Compared with yesterday, Zhou Rong's brows are raised and her eyes are bright.
Seeing Zhou Rong's delicate appearance, Su Mingzhe did not cry out in pain even though he was pinched so hard that it hurt. Instead, he forced a smile:
"Then today, you come and boil medicine for me."
Seeing that Su Mingzhe was holding on and not crying out in pain, Zhou Rong's anger subsided a lot. In the end, she could only roll her eyes at the shameless man and went to the kitchen to boil medicine.
The time for decocting the medicine is still as long as before, a full hour and a half.
After Zhou Rong helped Zhou's mother drink the medicine, Zhou's mother asked her to prepare dinner to entertain Su Mingzhe.
After hearing her mother's instructions, Zhou Rong felt so wronged.
I just entertained a man yesterday and ended up paying for it myself.
How am I supposed to entertain this stinky man today?
