Chapter 33: Sickness
The three of them entered the door, and Tang Zhishu asked Lin Xi: "After a day's work today, are you tired? You people in the city are not used to it, and you are definitely not used to it when you have just started." Lin Xi didn't hide it, and generously admitted that he couldn't work. Tang Zhishu saw that Lin Xi was happy, so he asked: "I saw you working today, this job is really not suitable for you, but this job is too much, if you think it's not good, I can also give you another job, but the centimeter is less." After all, if you work alone, you have to support two people, and centimeters are still very important to you. Lin Xi said without hesitation: "Then it's better to change the job for me, no matter how high the centimeter of this job is, I can't do it, and I can't get the whole centimeter, and I have to delay things." Tang Jianguo looked at Lin Xi and said, "Okay, then I'll give you another job tomorrow." After that, he chatted for a few more words, and after saying that, Tang Jianguo left.
At night, Lin Xi's hand was a little swollen, and his arm could barely be raised. Chu Sheng took on all the housework and let Lin Xi have a good rest. Lin Xi never thought he was squeamish, on the contrary, because of the lack of care from his family, Lin Xi has always been very strong. But today does make her very frustrated, although she is trying hard to integrate into the current life, but for the era of basic manual farming, it is really not hard work to adapt.
The next morning, after Chu Sheng got up, he found that his sister was still sleeping, and it was estimated that his sister was tired for a day, so she would definitely have to sleep a little longer. He made breakfast and went to knock on his sister's door, but she seemed to be sleeping heavily and did not answer. Chu Sheng went to have breakfast first, saw that the time was almost up, and knocked on the door again, but his sister still didn't respond. Chu Sheng pushed the door in directly, and saw that his sister was still asleep, so he stepped forward to call her, at this time, Chu Sheng found that Lin Xi's face had an abnormal flush, and when he touched his forehead, he had a fever.
Chu Sheng found Dr. Song, Dr. Song looked at it, estimated that Lin Xi was tired, and gave antipyretic medicine, Lin Xi took the medicine, and when he saw that Chu Sheng was still there, he urged him to go to class. Chu Sheng didn't have any thoughts, so he said, "I have already asked Tang Shu to help me ask for leave, and today I will take care of my sister at home." When my sister is sick, there must always be someone by her side who pours tea and water. This time, Chu Sheng's attitude was very resolute, and Lin Xi had no choice but to follow him.
At noon, Tang Jianguo came over and asked Lin Xi: "How is it, is it better?" Lin Xi smiled: "After taking the medicine, it has been much better." Tang Jianguo saw that Chu Sheng was also there, and knew that he was left to take care of Lin Xi, and praised Chu Sheng for being sensible. Tang Jianguo asked Lin Xi to have a good rest. Lin Xi fell ill after a day's work, and there were some unpleasant words in the village, what girls in the city are squeamish, and what deliberately pretend to be sick to avoid work. Chu Sheng heard the rumors and was very angry, but he couldn't explain them one by one, so he had to hold his stomach in his heart.
Yuan He, Liu Xia, and a few educated youths who had a good relationship with Lin Xi took the initiative to stand up and prove to Lin Xi: Lin Zhiqing fell ill because he was in a hurry to go to work before his body recovered. It's a pity that in the end, there are few educated young people and many villagers, and these remarks that are not conducive to Lin Xi still have the upper hand.
When these words reached Lin Xi's ears, Lin Xi was carrying a basket on his back to pick up stones in the wasteland near his home. This is not that Lin Xi is lazy and does not do farm work, but the work that the Tang branch secretary specially found for Lin Xi, picking up stones for a day on the wasteland, which is four centimeters, not less, this place is close to Lin Xi's house, and no one is staring at her, she can do it slowly. Why do you want to pick up stones, it is because Tang Zhishu decided to reclaim the wasteland, and the debris on the wasteland must be removed before the wasteland is cleared. Lin Xi understood that this was Tang Zhishu's intention to take care of her, and in this matter, Lin Xi was very grateful to Tang Zhishu.
The only thing that is laborious in this work is to transport the garbage and stones picked up to the designated place, Lin Xi looked at the small garbage mountain piled up, and was still thinking about what to do? A few children came over, and pushed a wheelbarrow, they helped Lin Xi load the garbage into the car, and then transported it to the designated place, Lin Xi didn't expect someone to come to help, and wanted to take something to thank them, those children waved their hands, saying that it was to thank Lin Xi for lending them books, this little thing is nothing.
When Chu Sheng went home, he heard Lin Xi humming in the kitchen, Chu Sheng listened to the brisk singing, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up. In the kitchen, Lin Xi was frying twist flowers, and the golden twist flowers were fished out of the oil pot, and a large porcelain bowl next to it was already filled with most of the bowl. Chu Sheng stretched out his hand to take one, but was gently patted by Lin Xi on the back of his hand: "Go wash your hands and face, it's still hot, and it won't taste good until it's cold." Chu Sheng knew that Lin Xi loved to be clean, and he was not allowed to be sloppy, and it was a rule set by Lin Xi to wash his hands before eating. Chu Sheng washed his hands and face, and came over to help: "Sister, why did you think of making twist flowers today?" Lin Xi told a few children in the village who came to help him, and he made twist flowers to thank those children. After that, he looked at Chu Sheng's face and asked, "I'll leave half for you, okay?" Chu Sheng smiled: "Sister, I'm not so stingy, and it's nothing for them to help give them some food." When Lin Xi heard this, he felt that this kid was really sensible, and then said: "You take some to the school to eat, I see that you have come back late these days, and if you are hungry, you will pad your stomach." ”
Chu Sheng was naturally not happy, this thing was taken to the school, and it would not be robbed. Chu Sheng didn't want to discuss this topic with his sister, so he pretended to be unintentional and said: "I came back today and saw Han Zhiqing, she was talking with a man in the village, and that man was Li Qi from the village. Lin Xi didn't turn a corner and asked, "Who is Li Qi?" Chu Sheng said: "There is a family in the village who lives in Xitou. This man also has some ability, his sister married into the city, and found him a temporary job in the town's printing and dyeing factory, and I heard that he may have to become a regular. "Chu Sheng is a person who is not gossiping, and he can hear this because his classmate is Li Qi's younger brother Li Zhen, and Li Zhen's seat is in front of Chu Sheng, that is, the boy who grabbed Chu Sheng's villain book and fought with Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng heard Li Zhen say a few days ago that his brother had found a target who was an educated youth. When I saw Han Meifang today, I knew who Li Qi's object was. Lin Xi heard the meaning of Chu Sheng's words, could it be that Han Meifang was having a relationship with the people in the village, this is nothing, Han Meifang's age is not young, it is really normal to talk about an object. Lin Xi didn't take this matter to heart.
Packed a bag of twist flowers that had been cooled and handed them to Chu Sheng, who knew that this was the rhythm of giving away. Lin Xi knew his temper, so he explained to him first: "Today, Dr. Song sent us some oil, and I fried some twist flowers and sent them over as a return gift." You go for a run. Chu Sheng took the bowl, covered it with a clean cloth, and ran to the health room.
On the way, he met Tang Shu and Tang Xiaomei, Tang Shu saw Chu Sheng holding a bowl, knew that there must be something delicious, blocked Chu Sheng's way and asked: "What did my sister make delicious? After speaking, he bypassed Tang Shu and left directly. Tang Shu's eyes rolled, Tang Xiaomei grabbed him, and warned: "If you go to Lin Zhiqing's place to eat again, I will tell my mother to see if my mother doesn't beat you." Tang Shu's mind was punctured, he glared at his sister angrily, and went home with a pout.
Dr. Xiao Song chewed crispy twist flowers, and his skills were good. Dr. Song tasted one and thought it was good. Chu Sheng took one and stuffed it into his mouth. Doctor Xiao Song was dissatisfied: "It's not that you don't have it, why do you eat me?" Chu Sheng didn't hear it, chewed the twist flower in his mouth in three or two bites, and reached out to take another one, Doctor Song was anxious and reached out to stop it. was pinched by Doctor Song's wrist: "Child, what's wrong with eating? How old are you, and you're still worried about the child." Besides, it was originally brought by someone else. "Doctor Song was angry, looking at the half bowl, I couldn't help but eat this thing.
But his wrist hurt when his father pinched him, so he quickly begged for mercy. Doctor Song just let go. Chu Sheng saw that he was famous, and asked tentatively: "Uncle Song, have you practiced!" Doctor Song smiled: "I saved a patient before, and at that time, the family had no money to pay for medical expenses, so they taught me a set of boxing techniques. ”
"Uncle Song, you are really amazing. Chu Sheng's eyes flashed, and then he looked at Doctor Song with admiration. Dr. Song tapped him on the head and said, "What are you doing?" Chu Sheng was seen through his mind and scratched his head embarrassedly. Doctor Song thought for a while and said, "If you want, you can learn from me, which is some introductory moves for exercise." Chu Sheng responded and sincerely thanked Dr. Song. I made an appointment with Dr. Song to study at a time, and went back to report the good news to Lin Xi.
As soon as he went home, Chu Sheng's good mood was gone. In the kitchen, Tang Shu circled around Lin Xi, still holding a twist flower in his hand. Chu Sheng's face sank, Lin Xi saw it, and said with a smile: "Chu Sheng, Tang Shu came to you to play table tennis, you go outside to play for a while." Chu Sheng made a face and replied: "Don't go, I have to do my homework." With that, he turned around and left.
Lin Xi was choked inexplicably, she looked at Tang Shu, she still looked heartless, Lin Xi felt embarrassed, so she had to explain to Chu Sheng: "It's probably a day of school, and I'm a little tired." Why don't you find someone else?" Then I'll play with him next time. Tang Shu didn't care. Lin Xi likes such an atmospheric child, and felt a little embarrassed, so he filled a bowl of fried twist flowers and handed it to Tang Shu: "Here, take it back to your sister to taste." "Although Tang Shu is greedy, he also knows that he can't take it back like this, or he will be beaten again. He reached out and grabbed a handful and said, "That's it, sister, I'm leaving." Lin Xi shouted at his back: "If it's not enough, come up to me to get it." "Hey!" Tang Shu responded as he ran, and after a while, his kung fu disappeared. Lin Xi shook his head and went back to talk to Chu Sheng.
