It was expected by Li Haitang that people from the Ma family came, but she felt the pulse of Master Ma, but in the end she could only sigh.

"Miss Ma said that her father woke up but didn't know anything, just..."

Ruan Pingzhi paused for a moment. In such a situation, he knew that in the capital, the disease that the imperial doctors could not see well was called the living dead.

Ruan Pingzhi has read many books, and he has also seen introductions about the living dead in the book. Apart from knowing nothing, he can eat and sleep, and live for ten or twenty years.

"Yes, it's the living dead."

Li Haitang nodded. The last craniotomy was a fluke. She said at the time that with Daqi's medical conditions, she could no longer support a second operation. Moreover, there was nothing she could do about the vegetative state.

With the development of modern medicine, the research on the human brain is still very limited, and the risk of general craniotomy is quite high.

There are indeed many examples of vegetative people waking up. However, Li Haitang is not optimistic about Master Ma's own situation. It seems that the Ma family has a similar family genetic disease.

She had checked Ma Bihe's pulse, and there was no problem, but Ma Bihe's younger brother's pulse was not very normal.

"I can't help but look for me. I said before that Master Ma can't be stimulated any more."

Li Haitang shook her head, not because she didn't care, but because she was helpless.

People like this can only be sent to take care of them meticulously. They have to scrub the body with warm water every day, and then massage the soles of the feet and limbs to prevent long-term bedridden from causing muscle atrophy.

When mentioning these things, the atmosphere was always a bit depressed, so Ruan Pingzhi changed the subject.

He was not idle these two days, and went to the city to inquire. Due to the different environment in the border town, he had to endure the harassment of barbarians, so the common people did not attach much importance to reading and practicing calligraphy.

There is no academy in the border town, and the closest one is Lushan Academy in Lucheng.

Ruan Pingzhi thought about it and found two ways out for himself. The first is to live in the border town and not leave, and send his son to the school, where he also teaches, and occasionally helps the soldiers in the northern camp to write family letters in exchange for some money for living.

The second way out is to take the little five sons to Lushan Academy, so that the money they get is more stable. The only disadvantage is that they are not free in the academy.

The teachers and students of Lushan Academy only have one day a month to go down the mountain, and it takes one day to go from Lucheng to Border Town.

"I don't suggest you go to Lushan Academy."

Because the younger brother Li Jinhu studied there, Li Haitang didn't have a good impression of the academy. In addition to Zhang Ruyi's oolong incident, on the surface of Lushan Academy, the husband is a teacher, but in fact they are some beasts in wolf's clothing , full of dirty thoughts.

It's not bad in the border town, and you can walk around more on weekdays. Li Haitang can take care of the little five.

Neither of the father and son can do needlework or mending, and they can't live in such a muddle all the time for cleaning the house on weekdays.

Right now, she has no way to ask Ruan Pingzhi to find a wife.

"Madam, your things have arrived!"

There was a noise at the door, Wu Fu went out for a trip, came back with a big box in his hand, stood under the eaves, and yelled.

"Send it in."

The hot pot was almost finished, Ruan Pingzhi and Xiao Lingchuan tasted the wine slowly, after Wu Fu entered the door, he first added soup to the bottom of the pot, and then stared at the box.

"You don't need to look at it to know that it was sent back by Ruyi."

Li Haitang curled her lips. Too many things have happened recently, and she hasn't had time to tell Zhang Ruyi.

The box was opened, and it was full of stuff inside. Some of them are for beanbags. Zhang Ruyi said in the letter that there is a wood shop in front of her house, which sells baby carts, which are very good. Put the water cup made of bamboo tube, four wheels, you can push it out at any time, no need

Father and mother have been holding.

It's just that a small car takes up too much space, and now the north is freezing and snowy, so she can't push it out. She plans to buy two or three small cars to take back after Lu Yuanqing's scientific examination.

"There is still this in Kyoto?"

Ruan Pingzhi didn't know, maybe he didn't care about it.

The letter mentioned something about the Ruan Mansion. The Wang family could not conceive, and used a steamed stuffed bun produced by a farmer's woman as a substitute, but her sister exposed it, causing a commotion in the city.

Ruan Mianmian's death also caused the Ruan Mansion to be in a mess. I heard that Old Shangshu Ruan was ill.

"Grandfather's life was not easy. I never imagined that in his later years, he would still worry about us juniors."

Ruan Pingzhi was very emotional. As a descendant of the Ruan family, he was sorry for his grandparents, but he was allowed to be unfilial. In the capital, he couldn't face his friends.

After being coaxed by a woman with a femme fatale for many years, he still foolishly thought that the relationship between husband and wife was very good, and that the flesh and blood were separated, so that his son would not be able to eat in Heishui Village, he was the stupidest one!

Perhaps because of the guilt in his heart, Ruan Pingzhi was not reconciled, and had no choice but to let go of his previous identity. To be a human being, one must have a bit of backbone.

Fortunately, the Ruan family was not as impersonal as he thought, at least his leaving made grandfather angry.

"That, cousin..."

Li Haitang saw her cousin was emotional, and couldn't bear to interrupt, but she didn't finish half of her sentence.

"Haitang, my grandfather still cares about me very much. After all, I am the direct grandson of the Ruan family, but if I bring my fifth son back, they won't recognize..."

Ruan Ping's thoughts were interrupted by Li Haitang.

"I have never met my grandfather, and I don't know what kind of person he is, but the reason why he is sick in bed is not because you ran away from home."

The corners of Li Haitang's eyes twitched, and finally he had to tell his cousin the cruel truth, "Because, because my grandfather's big goose died..."

Someone in the family poisoned the goose, and the goose dominated the world for more than ten years. Finally, it spat out a mouthful of black blood, fell to the ground, and ended its glorious life.

So that night, Old Shangshu Ruan also vomited a mouthful of blood, and couldn't get sick.

I went to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but the imperial doctor said that there is no way, the heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, the old Shangshu is mourning too much.

In order to mourn the big goose, the Ruan family has sent people to the Zhuangzi in the countryside to search for the big white goose with a lot of money. The requirement is that it must be white enough and smart enough to replace the original one, and Old Shangshu Ruan will gradually come out of the shadows.

Ruan Pingzhi: ...Just pretend he didn't say anything just now.

"Cousin, grandfather still misses you!"

This is the most insincere sentence Li Haitang said.

Xiao Lingchuan coughed softly at the side twice, he couldn't bear it any longer, it was tantamount to another blow to Ruan Pingzhi's heart.

The atmosphere was suddenly silent, and after a while, Ruan Pingzhi burst out laughing, which startled the couple.

"Hahahaha! It's great that the goose is dead, Mianmian, your vengeance has been avenged!" Ruan Pingzhi finished speaking, tears streaming down his face, and fell into sadness again.
