When I was five years old, my right leg was suddenly bruised and I cried for a day. Mom saw that I couldn't live any longer, so she went to Dr. Liao's house behind my back. Dr Liao is an old Chinese doctor. After retirement, he opened a small clinic at home. He has a good medical skill and a kind heart.
Dr. Liao looked at my leg and blamed my mother: "If you come two days late, your right leg will be ruined. This is osteomyelitis. If it is serious, you have to amputate! " Mother was afraid to make any noise, but her eyes were red. Actually, I can't blame my mother. After my father died, my mother worried about three meals a day all day. How can you have spare money to cure your legs? My mother anxiously asked if it could be cured. After getting a positive answer from Dr. Liao, her face brightened a lot, but a moment later, there was a dark cloud on her face.
Dr. Liao applied herbal medicine to me, prescribed two patches of traditional Chinese medicine to my mother, and said that she would come back for dressing change in two days. My mother was shaking all over and asked her how much it cost. Dr. Liao said five yuan. My mother blushed and said awkwardly, "I, I only have more than two yuan." Can you make it up next time? " Dr. Liao said cheerfully, "OK, don't worry, just give it if you have money."
Mom can't borrow money, but my leg can't be cured. Mother had to go to Dr. Liao's house with eight eggs. At that time, eggs were very cheap, a few cents each. When Dr. Liao refused, my mother's nose was sour and tears came down. Dr. Liao's eyes were wet, too, and he comforted his mother: "OK, I'll take it." Don't talk about money "After watching my legs several times, my mother owed Dr. Liao 28 yuan, which was not a small sum at that time.
When I went to Dr. Liao's house again, my mother brought the only hen in the family. Dr. Liao refused to accept it anyway, and his mother sobbed and begged again and again. Dr. Liao couldn't help it and said, "Well, even if I buy yours, how about ten dollars?" Say, forced to mother ten dollars. At that time, a chicken sold for four or five yuan at most. Mother refused to accept any money. When I got home, my mother found ten dollars in a Chinese medicine paper bag. That night, she went to Dr. Liao's house and stuffed the money into the door.
After two days, it was time to change the dressing again, but my mother was afraid to go, just crying silently. I didn't expect Dr. Liao to come to see you While speaking, Dr. Liao was surprised to find the hibiscus flowers in the yard and said, "Hibiscus flowers are excellent Chinese medicine, and one or two yuan is worth it!" Take it off and sell it to me, will you? "Mother was very surprised. She quickly picked the hibiscus flowers. Dr. Liao weighed it, and it was a catty. He said, "Great, you don't have to owe me any more money. "After that, I went to Dr. Liao's house for leg treatment, and my mother took some hibiscus flowers. Mom doesn't have to owe Dr. Liao money. Dr. Liao gives her some money every time. Soon, my leg will be fine.
The following year, Dr. Liao died unexpectedly. Mother was very sad and went to Dr. Liao's house to offer her condolences. Mother learned a big secret from his family: hibiscus can't be used as Chinese medicine. Mother shouted, "My benefactor ..."
A few years later, my mother also died. When he died, he took my hand and said, "Son, after I die, I will plant a circle of hibiscus flowers around my grave." Nowadays, every summer, the mother's grave is full of hibiscus flowers-the most holy hibiscus flowers.
