Because I thought that I had to rush to the restaurant to help in the morning, Hongzhu still got up before dawn on the second day. Zhu Zilan was alarmed by her getting up, and complained about her a little angrily, Hongzhu didn't care, and deliberately called her twice to let her get up. Zhu Zilan was willing to listen, wrapped her head in the quilt impatiently, and continued to sleep regardless of it.

Hongzhu got up to wash, and happened to see Pan'er boiling hot water in the kitchen, so he asked a few words about Zhu Sanbao's condition last night.

Pan'er fell asleep for a while overnight, and now she was sleepy, and her spirit was haggard, listening to Hongzhu ask her, she was stunned for a while before she woke up to answer, and only said: "Sanbao woke up a few times in the night, and it was a long time." She looked worried, and said, "I don't know if it works after drinking that medicine, but I see that the red spots on his body have started, and they are becoming more and more obvious." ”

Hongzhu hadn't gone through such a thing, and she didn't know if it was good or bad when she heard it, so she asked, "What did my eldest aunt say?"

Pan'er thought for a while and said, "I said that when it was dawn, I would immediately invite yesterday's old doctor Zhu to come for a follow-up visit." ”

After listening to Hongzhu, she thought that something was wrong. Even if she stayed, she couldn't help, and she sighed and didn't say much. After washing, she saw that Pan'er was so sleepy that she stuffed a firewood and lit it several times, and she couldn't bear it, so she called her to sit aside, and she herself washed the rice and cut some minced meat for her with her hands and feet, so that the Zhu family could get up and make breakfast. She couldn't wait to eat here, so she just told Pan'er to stare at the fire and not cook it, and then Hongzhu left in a hurry.

When I went to the restaurant, I saw that Second Uncle Li had already opened the door, the big steamer was piled up, and the fire was burned, but no one was seen, thinking that they were all busy in the back kitchen. Hongzhu hurried inside, and said apologetically: "Second uncle, second uncle, I'm late." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves to help, and said to Zhong: "Second uncle, hurry up, I see that the sky is about to dawn." As she spoke, she looked up, but she didn't see her mother in the house, which couldn't help but be a little strange.

According to Li's temperament, although she didn't say it explicitly, she let Hongzhu stay in the Zhu family last night, today she is not at ease, and she is also distressed about her daughter, so she will come to the restaurant early in the morning, and she will do her best. Hongzhu was also thinking about her, but she didn't think about it but didn't see it.

Just when he was puzzled, Second Uncle Li also asked, "What happened to the Zhu family yesterday?

Hongzhu briefly talked about the Zhu family, and Second Uncle Li was shocked: "I had such an illness!"

Zhong Shi happened to turn back to serve the buns, and when he heard this, he was also surprised: "How is this good?"

Hongzhu was a little suspicious and said, "I think the doctor said it well yesterday, and the three treasures should not be too heavy, he seems to be sure." ”

Zhong shook his head and said, "Where is it so light." You're still young, I'm afraid you can't remember, a few years ago, Aunt Gu's youngest son didn't get sick from this disease! That kid looks very healthy, he has grown to five years old, and it was also said that he was feverish and crying in the spring, and he asked the doctor to see it, and it was not good for two days. Suddenly, one night there was a sudden convulsion, and when the doctor invited him over, he knew that it was a pox, but at that time the fever was so bad that he couldn't even breathe, and the doctor just shook his head and said that it couldn't be cured. It was still Aunt Gu who knelt down in front of the doctor and begged him, so he reluctantly opened the prescription, saying that he was doing his best. How do you know that after pouring the medicine, the person is still not good, and it burns out in half a day, and the person goes. ”

Hongzhu was also shocked, "This is also the disease?"

Zhong nodded, "Isn't it?" At the beginning, the doctor was young and couldn't see it, but then the symptoms appeared, and I knew it when I invited it again, but the illness was too serious, and the doctor couldn't do anything. ”

Second Uncle Li also said: "This child's illness is the most important, they are weak, the medicine is heavy, it hurts people, and it is not curable if it is light, and it can go to half a life as soon as the body has a fever. ”

Hongzhu also understands that this ancient Chinese medicine treatment or decoction, or powder, or pill, is eaten to the stomach and digestion to work, the effect is too slow, in case of emergency, it is difficult to deal with, not at all compared to infusion. When Hongzhu thought about it, she couldn't help but be a little afraid, and suddenly a wake-up call arose in her heart. It seems that I have to pay more attention to my body in the future, not only to look at her mother, but also to herself, but she can't be tired by being young, she is only thirteen years old now!

Zhong said a few more words to take care of the child, and when she heard a guest calling in front of her, she answered loudly "come" and went out.

Second Uncle Li said: "If your mother wants to go to the Zhu family to help, don't ask her to come to the restaurant, where can she stand these two runs." ”

Hongzhu said: "I thought that she would come this morning, and when she came, I persuaded her to go back, but I didn't know that I saw anyone." ”

Second Uncle Li also felt strange, but as soon as there were many guests outside, he didn't have time to think deeply, so he only said: "Maybe I slept late, and I'll come after a while." ”

Hongzhu should be like this, so he was busy with his work.

I don't know that this has been busy for half of the morning market, and the Li family has not yet been found. Hongzhu faintly felt that something was wrong, and thought that maybe Li guessed that Hongzhu came back to work in the restaurant, so she got up and went directly to Zhu's house, which is also reasonable. The guests who were waiting for the breakfast were almost rested, and Hongzhu also packed up his body and said to Second Uncle Li: "Second Uncle, I'll go to Zhu's house to have a look." ”

Second Uncle Li also urged her to hurry over.

Hongzhu returned to Zhu's house, and when Zhu Zilan saw her, she hurriedly beckoned to her: "Come here!"

Hongzhu frowned and entered the kitchen, and saw Zhu Zilan hurriedly fanning the fire on the medicine stove, choking her whole face to turn gray. Hongzhu couldn't help but feel funny, "How old are you, why can't you even fry a medicine?" She stepped forward and smelled the wrong taste, and said in surprise: "No, you really scorched the medicine?"

Zhu Zilan coughed twice, then glared at her and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, can you help or not?" The scorched one has already fallen, and this is a new start to be fried. ”

Hongzhu smiled softly, thinking that she must have been scolded for frying the medicine. She squatted in front of the medicine stove in the past, took the pu fan from Zhu Zilan's hand, and asked her, "Is this water all right?

Zhu Zilan gave up her position and frowned: "Three bowls are fried into one bowl, and my mother didn't say that the martial arts are simmering, just like the ordinary one." ”

Hongzhu couldn't help complaining, "What is it like in the ordinary? Do you know that this medicine is different, and the disposal is also different, some have to be soaked first, some have to be decocted first, and some have to be put later...... It's no wonder if you put it all together and make a fierce fire, and don't fry it. ”

Zhu Zilan was impatient, "Isn't it the same to drink medicinal juice?" Okay, it's been boiled for a while, you can't pick it up again and make it again, anyway, you can fry it into a bowl." ”

Hongzhu was only like this, reached out and adjusted the firewood under the stove, and asked her if her mother was here.

Zhu Zilan glanced at her and said, "It's here." ”

Hongzhu felt that her expression was a little strange, not like the usual sneering, but calm and well-behaved, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Zilan thought for a while before saying, "She only came in the middle of the morning, and she fell her leg while walking." ”

"What!" Hongzhu was shocked, threw the pu fan, and turned around to look for the Li family.

Zhu Zilan said: "I want you to boil medicine! What are you anxious about, I don't think it's important at all......"

"You look at the medicine yourself!" Hongzhu couldn't take care of her, and went straight to the other end of the hall. There was no one at first glance, only shouting: "Mother, mother, where are you?"

A voice came from the east end, "Here we are." ”

Hongzhu went in to take a look and saw that Mrs. Zhu was half-leaning and half-lying at the head of the bed, while Li was sitting on the edge of the bed, and the two seemed to be talking. Hongzhu's eyes looked straight at Li's legs, and she couldn't tell if it was injured on her face, so it could be seen that when she looked over, Li's heart was a little weak, and her left leg inadvertently moved her head back.

Hongzhu immediately understood that Zhu Zilan was indeed right, sighed, and said hello to Mrs. Zhu first, before turning her head and asking Li, "Mother, why did you fall? Does it matter? Why don't you stay at home and rest and walk around? What if the injury is aggravated?"

Li Shi said worriedly: "Look at what you said, my leg is fine, it's really fine!"

"Why did you fall? Did you fall on the way back last night?"

Li hesitated and didn't want to answer, and the old lady Zhu on the side said: "Just tell her, if you don't say it, won't it make her worry." Your temperament, alas, is dozens of years old, and you still don't have the slightest idea. I think that now that Wen Han is gone, he is the master of Hongzhu. ”

When her mother-in-law said this, Li also felt ashamed, and only said: "It's me who is useless and can't bear it, and I always want my mother-in-law to worry about me." ”

Hongzhu listened to it and felt strange, she hadn't seen her for a long time, how could Mrs. Zhu and Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talk so harmoniously.

Mrs. Zhu sighed and patted Li's hand.

Li Shicai said: "It's not that I fell while walking at night, I went back late yesterday, and there was someone in the courtyard, I was startled and twisted myself." ”

Hongzhu asked, "Who is it?

Li waved his hand again and again, "No, it's the mother-in-law of Aunt Gu's family." She also felt timid when she thought about it, and said shyly: "Didn't Aunt Gu say that when she rented that house before, her mother-in-law opened a piece of land and wanted to plant some vegetables and vegetables." During the Chinese New Year, her mother-in-law went back to the countryside, and no one came to the front, yesterday she came back, remembering that the front changed people and did not know whether the vegetable field was ruined, so she wanted to come and see, how do you know that no one went home after waiting for us for a long time, her mother-in-law couldn't help but take the key and opened the small door to come and see, just hit by me......"

Hongzhu was relieved after hearing this, and still complained: "Why is she in such a hurry, she came to see it when it was dark, and she could see what she could see, and she scared people." Then he asked Lee, "Is your leg really okay?"

Li said: "It's really fine, it's much better with the medicinal oil." He sighed as he spoke, "Don't blame her, yesterday I thought it was a thief who shouted and scared her." The woman was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she couldn't walk back by herself. ”

Hongzhu thought about it and felt ridiculous, so she asked, "What happened later?"

Li said with amusement and annoyance, "The two of us shouted and screamed like this, which alarmed the Gu aunt and them in the back, and also recruited the neighbor He Mingheng, and even brought a knife, saying that he wanted to arrest the thief." Fortunately, he had good eyes, and he knew that I had fallen to the ground, otherwise I would have been terrible if I had been cut down with a knife. ”

Hongzhu also felt remorseful when she heard such a thrilling last night, and only said: "When such a thing happened, you didn't find someone to sue me, and the second uncle didn't say anything, you are okay, if you are really hurt, wouldn't it be a bad thing to stay at home alone?"

Li Shi smiled and said, "If something really happens, I will definitely call you, but I'm fine." And later, He Mingheng knew that it was a misunderstanding, and helped me into the house, and he also asked if he wanted to invite a doctor, or go to you, but I said that it was okay, so he didn't have to go, and asked him to go back. He was not at ease, but when he saw that I didn't hurt my bones, he just went home and brought me a good medicinal oil, and told him to shout if something happened, and he came over immediately, and then left. Later, Aunt Gu also came to see me, saying that she couldn't help it, and that she kept the door, and if something happened, she would come over. I've taken care of it before and after, and I'm not a doll, so how can it be bad?"

Hongzhu said: "I really should thank him." ”

Li also said: "Yes, go back and go to the door seriously, so that you can thank him." ”
