Chapter 226 Lacking the Calf (5) (More rewards for the leader of the Fortune Gu!)
Qu Orion, carrying large and small bags, sat on the bullock cart going back in a daze.
The driver didn't dare to ask Qu Orion how Qu Jing was doing.
Oh my god, how sick are you now? I bought all the flour. Isn’t this the standard way to eat something good before you die? Don’t dare to ask, don’t dare to ask.
Out of sympathy, the driver gave Qu Jing the black noodle cake that he was reluctant to eat. Qu Jing refused to eat it and returned it.
The driver was even more sympathetic. He couldn't even eat the black noodle cake and could only eat white noodles. He was afraid that he didn't have much time left to live. No wonder Qu Orion was absent-minded and out of his body. Afraid that the journey would be too slow and Qu Jing wouldn't be able to get back to the village, the driver gritted his teeth and worked hard day and night, shortening the journey by one day.
In fact, Qu Orion was absent-minded entirely because his mind was occupied with remembering the prescriptions the young man told him.
Qu Orion is not stupid, he is simply uneducated and therefore appears to be ignorant. But he was also caught as a young man back then, and he had been to the outside world and had seen the world. He knew that prescriptions were valuable, and some prescriptions could even be passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms.
The young man wrote a prescription for him, but Qu Lihu couldn't read and didn't intend to show the prescription to others. I planned to memorize it myself, and then send Qu Jing to school. When Qu Jing could read, I would leave the prescription to Qu Jing, so that when he died, Qu Jing would have the capital to settle down.
Therefore, one night when he was on the road, Qu Lihu took out a leather cover as usual and asked Qu Jing in a low voice: "Jingjing, I heard that a school will be built in the village in the future. When the school is built, can grandpa send you to school?" "
"Okay." Qu Jing opened her eyes and whispered.
.
After Qu Lihu and Qu Jing returned to the village, they heard the good news from the village chief. It was determined above that schools and primary schools would be built, and several villages would jointly build one.
While Qu Jing and Qu Lianhu were on their way, the village chief relied on his sharp tongue and the advantage that there were several abandoned adobe houses in the village that could be used as classrooms for rest. He fought against all the nearby villages and successfully took over the school. .
The purpose of the village chief announcing the good news was to encourage students to learn. In order to set an example, all the village chief's family, from Daya to Goudan, had to go to school. But now every household has little money, and they have to pay tuition for school. The village chief's family can afford the money, but other families can't afford it and are unwilling to do so. The village chief came to Qu Lihu to collect money and persuaded him to send Qu Jing to school. .
The two parties hit it off immediately, and Qu Jing was happy to enroll in the new semester.
In the days that followed, everything clicked the fast forward button.
Qin Huai felt like he was watching a movie full of trivial matters. Qu Lihu didn't tell anyone about the pastry shop, only about the two taels of soybeans given to him for free by the hospital. Many people in the village were very excited when they heard that there was such a good thing. In the end, they gave up going to the provincial hospital to collect soybeans because the journey was far and the toll was too expensive.
The school affairs were settled, and a new teacher came to the village. It was said that he was a private school teacher in the county who was so poor that he was about to starve to death.
Qu Jingxi mentioned that new students are admitted to the school, and all children start from the first grade. Qu Orion went up to the mountains to hunt regularly as before, bartered with the villagers, and came back after hunting to quietly practice making rice cakes.
Qu Orion was reluctant to use the 10 kilograms of white sugar given by the young man on the unpalatable rice cakes he made. He asked the village elder's wife to make steamed buns and flatbreads with white flour, and let Qu Jing eat the white flour steamed buns dipped in white sugar.
The village chief saw this way of eating once. The distressed village chief said that this is not how rich people eat. The landlord who had just been beaten down simply ate two bites of white flour steamed buns.
Then he walked away with half a bun, crying and shouting.
In the first year that Qu Jing and Qu Lihu spent together, Qu Lihu made a pot of rice cake soup with the last remaining glutinous rice, and the grandfather and grandson spent the New Year drinking rice cake soup.
The next time was like a heartwarming movie.
Qu Jing goes to school, Qu Orion goes hunting. From time to time, the village chief notifies the village of outside changes. There is a supply and marketing cooperative in the town. It is more convenient to buy oil, salt and cloth. There is a health center in the town. Medical treatment is very cheap. Hunters no longer need to barter with the villagers for prey. There is a special place in town to collect the items.
One year, two years, three years, four years.
Qu Jing studied in the fourth grade of elementary school and could understand the prescriptions written by young people back then to Qu Orion.
Qu Orion is getting older, most of his hair is gray, and even his temples are a little gray. The frequency of hunting in the mountains is getting less and less, and it is basically impossible to catch large prey, so we can only rely on making traps to catch small animals. Occasionally, if you are lucky, a large animal such as a deer will fall into the trap, and you can sell it and save a lot of money.
Qu Orion saved a lot of money to pay for Qu Jing's medical treatment.
The most famous news in the village in recent years is not that the eldest sister of the village chief's family gave birth to triplets after getting married, which shocked villages all over the country, nor is it that the fool from the village next door to the village elder's mother-in-law fell into the river and did not drown, but instead caught a fish worth more than 30 yuan. The big fish is Qu Jing.
With her excellent academic performance, Qu Jing broke the rumors that she was once a fool. At the same time, because her appearance remained unchanged for four years, the village chief finally realized why a good girl was thrown into the mountains by her family. This child will not grow up!
Qin Huai knew why Qu Jing had not changed in the past four years, because Qu Jing had not failed in overcoming the disaster.
The spirit will not lose its power before it fails to overcome the tribulation, and it will not grow old. This is also the reason why few spirits choose the form of children when they transform. For adults, especially those around 20 years old, it is normal for their appearance to remain unchanged for more than ten years. To the outside world, they can be said to look young and well-maintained.
But for children, let alone more than ten years, people can tell if there is no change in two or three years. It is like having the words "I am a monster" engraved on their body.
Qu Jing was lucky. No one in the village thought she was a monster. Everyone simply thought she had a strange disease.
Qu Orion thought so too.
After discovering that Qu Jing didn't seem to have grown up in the second year, Qu Orion took Qu Jing to the health center in the town, and the health center prescribed some soybeans.
In the third year, Qu Lihu took Qu Jing to the hospital in the provincial capital again. The doctor was helpless when facing this super difficult disease, so he could only make an exception and prescribe 5 taels of soybeans for Qu Lihu.
The doctor in the provincial capital recommended Qu Orihu to take Qu Jing to the hospital in Peking, saying that there were the best doctors in the country there, and if the hospital in Peiping couldn't treat her well, there would be no treatment. It's just that it's a long way to go to Peiping, you have to take a train, and the cost is very high. The doctor asked Qu Lihu to save more money.
After hearing this, Orion Qu wanted to go up the mountain to hunt a brown bear, but when he encountered a wild boar, he almost broke his leg while escaping. While Qu Orion lamented that he was no longer the old hunter who could bravely fight tigers, he switched to digging traps and catching small animals to save money.
Seeing that Qu Jing still showed no sign of growing up, Qu Orion was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were blistering. He had already begun to think about whether to sell all the tiger skins, fox skins, and tiger bones collected at home. He didn't wait any longer and hurriedly entered the hospital at the end of the year. Before winter, I took Qu Jing to Peking for medical treatment.

Qu Orion obviously felt old.
He found that he had been forgetful since the beginning of the year. He would forget the location of the traps he made and the amount of prey he sold. Sometimes he couldn't remember why he went up the mountain today as soon as he reached the bottom of the mountain.
Qu Orion felt that he was a little old and confused.
But he didn't tell Qu Jing, he just digested the forgetfulness silently.
And all his forgetfulness was seen by Qin Huai.
Qin Huai sighed. He felt as if he had seen the ending of this tender movie.
One morning, Qu Orion got up early to make breakfast as usual, boiled two eggs in one go and brought them to Qu Jing.
"Grandpa, why did you boil two eggs today?" Qu Jing gave one of the eggs to Qu Orion, "The doctor has said that supplementing nutrition alone is useless for my disease, so you should also eat eggs."
Qu Orion smiled and said: "Today is Teacher Wang's birthday. Jingjing, please bring this egg to Teacher Wang."
Qu Jing was stunned: "Teacher Wang broke his leg last year and went back to town and never came back. Grandpa, did you remember it wrong...Teacher Li's birthday is not today either."
Qu Orion's smile faltered and he was stunned for a long time, as if he was trying hard to remember but was unable to do so. He could only smile to cover up: "Oh, yes, grandpa remembered it wrong. He wrote Teacher Wang's birthday as Teacher Li's."
"I'm old, I'm so confused."
Qu Jing looked at Qu Orion quietly: "Grandpa, are you okay?"
"I found that you have been forgetting things easily since the beginning of the year. How about we go to the hospital in the provincial capital to check it out."
Qu Orion waved his hand: "No, no, memory is bad when you get older. Many people start forgetting things when they are 47 or 88. I only started to forget things when I was over 50. It's normal."
Qu Jing was a little hesitant and glanced at Qu Orionhu uncertainly. Seeing that his expression was normal, she still chose to believe it and went to school with her schoolbag on her back.
