Forty-two The old man fell ill

That being said, the peppers were picked twice in a row and it would take a few days to recover. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Manqing doesn't matter, anyway, it's a vegetarian, the garden is full of eggplants, beans, water spinach, and I don't worry about no vegetables to eat. I ate vegetables for two more days. Just when Man Qing stared at the pot of snails for a few days, and felt that he was almost spit out of the mud and could be fried and eaten with the green chili peppers, Gao Lao had an accident again.

This morning, Man Qing did some embroidery work, fed the chickens and ducks, and returned to the room after a busy work, and found that he had not eaten the meal left for Gao Lao in the morning, and put it on the stove.

This is the first time in months. Even when he was doing a funeral for his mother, Gao Lao didn't affect his appetite much, he should eat, he should sleep...... Is this a chili pepper that has been gassed?

Man Qing looked at the direction of the main house, and saw that the doors and windows were still closed well, and on this hot day, there was no window to open for ventilation - she pouted, her heart was such a big person, could it be that she had to teach her to open the window for ventilation on a hot day?

She's almost an old mother, so she's not used to him!

During the day, the sun was like fire, and she still did embroidery work, and in the middle of the afternoon she began to get busy: she went to the vegetable field to water her, prepared chicken and duck food, prepared firewood, prepared water for cooking and washing dishes and bathing at night, went to the river to drive the ducks back, fed the chickens and ducks, and prepared dinner......

On this day, Manqing deliberately made a little early, because she planned to make the snails, so that Aunt Gui's family could bring a bowl before dinner.

Speaking of making snails, Manqing has completely inherited Chai's good craftsmanship. Chai's family is a woman's family, and it is definitely not good to fish and shrimp, and it is not good to follow a group of little children to dig loaches in the ditch, but the family is really poor and can't afford pork...... This snail is also meat, and it is easy to get, and in spring and summer, when I go around the fields and ditches and rivers a lot, I can always pick up a small pile. Add the sour peppers in the jar, add some leeks, put some perilla, and a little ginger is even better, that sour and hot and refreshing -

Man Qing was busy here, and after a while, the smell in the room was fragrant. She smelled it herself and drooled so hard that she ate several of them as she did it. When it was ready, she filled a big bowl and prepared to serve it to Aunt Gui, there were still a lot left, Manqing divided it into two bowls, one bowl was placed in the place where Gao Lao usually eats, and the other bowl was put into the cabinet, and she came back to eat it later.

Finally, there are meat dishes, and she plans to eat slowly while enjoying the cold alone at night, and treat herself well.

When she brought the snails to Gui's house while they were hot, Aunt Gui was about to cook them, when she saw the large bowl of snails full of attractive aromas, she suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Yo! Young girl, why are you so capable! It's so fragrant! How do you do it, why can't I make this fragrance?!-Osmanthus, why don't you come over quickly!--If you can make such a bowl of dishes, I'll burn incense and worship the Buddha!--I'll continue! You brought me all such a big bowl, right?"

"No, I still have two big bowls at home!" Man Qing saw that Aunt Gui was happy, and she also smiled sincerely, "Aunt Gui, you praise me too much, your delicious cooking is famous in the village!"

Aunt Gui grinned, "What is delicious, the country lady makes it indiscriminately, how can you scholars pay attention to it! Your mother just cooks finely! Haha, it seems that you are not bad!--I like this taste more, it is more real than the things that your mother makes that look good!"

Man Qing smiled and didn't take the stubble. The mother didn't dig out the hollow to do fine things for Gao Lao, in order to satisfy him, the more elaborate the better. But now, huh!

Aunt Gui didn't keep her much, saying that the snails should be hot and delicious, so let her go back and eat them quickly. When Man Qing left the courtyard of Gui's house, he happened to meet Gui Fu who had returned from working in the field. Gui Fu saw Man Qing, paused, and then grinned, but before he could speak, Man Qing also smiled at him, and then quickly lowered his head and walked away. Gui Fu was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were not retracted, and he drooped down randomly.

Man Qing has been avoiding him recently, and this realization makes Gui Fu's heart sink as if he was hanging a big scale, and he is uncomfortable. Although he was tall, three and five thick, he was a careful man. Mother's attitude, and then Manqing's attitude, are clearly telling him that in this life, I am afraid that there is no chance to realize that careful thinking.

He is pure and good, and he knows very well that marriage is the order of his parents, and if his mother doesn't like it, this melon is not sweet...... Ay.

"You're all back, hurry up and wash your hands and eat! Today, the young girl sent a big bowl of sour and hot snails, you have a good mouth!" Aunt Gui greeted loudly as if she didn't see her son's disappointed eyes.

When Man Qing returned home, the strange thing was that the dishes left for Gao Lao on the stove for that night still didn't move. But Man Qing still didn't have time to care, it was getting dark, she had to take advantage of this time to quickly feed the chickens and ducks and close them, and clean up the yards before and after...... Take advantage of this time to walk away, so that Gao Lao can enter the room to eat.

I didn't want to wait for her to finish the bowl of food on the stove and still didn't move. Man Qing began to hesitate a little in his heart: Gao Lao Mo didn't have an accident, or he wouldn't have come out to eat-I didn't seem to have seen him out of the room during the day today......

This idea startled Man Qing! This family has been in turmoil until now, and it has finally stabilized a little, but it can't withstand any blows -- suddenly the snails on the stove that were still fragrant suddenly lost their color. Man Qing unconsciously frowned tightly, and dragged his steps towards the main room.

The door was bolted from the inside. Man Qing didn't have that patience, first banged the door vigorously, and then there was no movement inside, she couldn't say whether she was angry or worried, anyway, her heart was very hot, so she simply kicked twice.

Last time he went on a hunger strike because he couldn't serve him like his mother, and this time he hoped it wasn't because he didn't eat the first two peppers and went on a hunger strike, otherwise, she wouldn't even cook for him in the future, and he wouldn't go on a hunger strike!

Just as he was about to kick the door again, suddenly there was a trace of movement inside, as if Gao Lao was moaning! Man Qing's brows furrowed even tighter, and he kicked the door again, and found that he still couldn't kick it open, so he came to the window.

The window was closed, but the latch was not inserted. Man Qing stretched out his hand to pull the window open, and suddenly an unpleasant stench came to his face, almost making Man Qing take a few steps back. The smell of the bucket, the smell of damp and stuffy sweat...... The last time she came in this room was the last time he went on a hunger strike, and it was normal at that time!

Man Qing had to cover her nose and jump in from the window, and then, without saying a word, opened all the doors and windows widely, dissipating the smell and letting in the faint skylight. She turned back to find the oil lamp, lit it, and then turned her head to look at Gao Lao, who was moaning intermittently on the bed.

Gao Lao picked up this time not a hunger strike, but got sick. His face was a little flushed and languishing, and when he heard movement in front of the bed, he opened his eyes with some difficulty, and then closed them slightly, and continued to moan.

Man Qing wanted to be sarcastic: As for it, he still has the strength to get up and use the gong bucket to climb to the room to eat, or does he think that he is still with the last time, he is sick, and she will have to serve him?

But it doesn't seem to be mildly ill, not bluffing. Man Qing sighed, thinking that he had to call a doctor for him.

It costs money to get a doctor. Now that she has just enough money to buy rice to eat, she won't eat after seeing a doctor? Man Qing suddenly thought of an idea, so she said to the person on the bed in a deep voice: "I'll go and ask you for a doctor in a while." But first of all, I have no money on me, so I can't sell me to you and hire a doctor -- I remember that you still have two inkstones in your study, and tomorrow I will take them to the town to exchange the money, and ask the doctor to change the medicine for you!"

When Gao Lao heard this, his anger almost came out of the tip of his head!"Mmmm-you-" However, when he was sick, he didn't eat water and rice for another day, and he really didn't have the strength to speak, "How dare you-"

"I'll just say yes!" Manqing ignored his flushed face, thinking that this was better looking than just now, like a dead man.

She first went to the study, and from the last time she saw two inkstones a few years ago, she got her room, and then went to the room where Gao Lao picked her nose and put the dirty clothes on the ground and the gong bucket in the backyard - it was always bad for the doctor to see these things for a while, and then she went out to ask the doctor.
