Chapter 37: Chickenpox

Ask a gentleman to approve a day, choose a feng shui treasure place, feast guests that night, and the next day, the mourner (carry the coffin) carries the coffin to the place selected in advance, digs a pit and buries it, and the matter is over.

Because Zhao Juan's mother-in-law died, her parents, who were working in Guangdong, came back.

Two days after the incident, Zhao Juan came over to play with the two siblings.

"Xiaoxi, in two days, my mother and they are leaving again, and they said they would take us to Guangdong. ”

It was the same in the previous life, but when Zhao Juan said this to herself, Xiaoxi thought that they were just going to play for two days, who knew that this trip would be a year.

"Guangdong, where is Guangdong?" asked Chen Yubin curiously.

Zhao Juan pouted, "I don't know." ”

"Oh......" couldn't get the answer he wanted, and Chen Yubin was a little disappointed.

"Bin Creek, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back. ”

"Okay, okay. Chen Yubin was very happy.

Sure enough, within two days, Zhao Juan and her brother followed their parents to Guangdong, leaving only her grandfather at home.

Soon, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin were in the second grade, and their teacher was replaced by Teacher Hong, and again, listening to the class made people want to sleep.

The creek has changed the area to the right of the hut, that is, across the lake.

Xiaoxi's vegetable garden is very beautiful, there are yellow wattle sticks on the other side of the road, some are inserted, emerald green leaves emerge, and the other two sides are all planted with a white wild thorn flower, which should belong to the Rosaceae family, with a single petal, very fragrant. It has been planted for several years, and now it is growing very well, and when it comes to the spring flowering season, it is very beautiful to see clusters of white flowers blooming densely among the dense foliage.

So in the spring, look for those beautiful wild thorn flowers all over the mountains, there are white single-layer petals, red single-layer petals, rose-colored single-layer petals and red multi-layer petals, and one is a red multi-layer petal and the stem is relatively long, a bit like a rose. The creek has cut a lot of old branches, and cut them in the space, and there is no fear of spiritual springs.

When these are alive and the root system is developed, these wild thorn flowers are used to divide the large open space on the right side of the wooden house. There is a passage in the middle, and there are five squares on one side.

A large but shallow puddle was dug in the middle of each cell, and a pool twice the size of the large pool of the field was dug in the remaining part of the ten lattices, and all the canals were dug and connected. The water from the lake flows from the canals in the fields to the large pools, then to the ten large and small puddles, and then to the ponds, and then down the canals and back to the lake.

As mentioned earlier, there is no grass growing on the land in the space, and Xiaoxi found the grass seeds that Uncle Zhao brought back and sprinkled them, so far, this vacant land has been transformed.

The grass seeds were brought back from Tibet by Uncle Zhao, and Xiaoxi still remembers that she was not in kindergarten at that time.

The second aunt's family has two children to study, and the second aunt has never been outside to see anything of the world (the second aunt has never gone out to work, grew up next to her parents, and has known Uncle Zhao since childhood, and has never had the opportunity to go outside to see after getting married), so when Uncle Zhao went to Tibet that spring, he took the second aunt with him, entrusted the family house to Chen's mother to take care of, and the two children were handed over to their grandfather to take care of.

Before leaving, Uncle Zhao joked that Xiaoxi wanted to bring her something? Xiaoxi knew that it was a joke, but he thought that there was still a lot of open space and that Tibet's animal husbandry was quite good, so he said seriously: "Well, bring me a bag of grass seeds." ”

Zhao Shun was stunned, he was just joking, he didn't expect Xiaoxi to take it seriously, but a bag of grass seeds was easy to get, so he agreed. Then he asked strangely, "But Xiaoxi, why do you think about bringing grass seeds?"

Blinked, and said seriously, "Hmm...... I think my grandfather has to cut a back of cow grass from the outside every day, it is too tiring, if I plant some grass in the nearby field, my grandfather will not have to work so hard. ”

Listening to this childish remark, who has nothing to do to plant grass in the ground? Just because he thought it was funny, he put the topic aside and praised: "Xiaoxi is so good, so filial to grandpa." ”

After the second aunt and they left, Xiaoxi, Chen Yubin and Chen's mother occasionally went down to stay for one night to add a little popularity.

Around June, Xiaoxi suddenly had a fever in the middle of the night one night, and it was quite severe, so Chen's mother got up and put a wet handkerchief on her forehead to lower the temperature slightly, planning to wait for dawn to take her to the doctor, but only found out after getting up the next day......

Xiaoxi had a fever and was confused all night, and his body was very itchy and kept scratching, so he didn't wake up very well in the morning. Itchy again, put his hand into the clothes and was ready to scratch, but there were several bags on his stomach, a little wrong, he picked up the clothes and looked at them, and found that they were all small red dots, Xiaoxi was startled, "Mom, Mom, Mom......"

"Wow, oh" Chen's mother was full of panic when she heard Xiaoxi's voice, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran back to the bedroom, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Then I saw that Xiaoxi, who was so frightened that he forgot to put down his clothes, was covered with red spots on his belly, and he was also shocked, and then thought of Xiaoxi's fever last night, forcibly calmed himself down, pulled down the corners of his clothes, and comforted: "Xiaoxi, it's okay, this is going to have chickenpox, and it will be fine in a few days, don't scratch it anymore, you are now starting to come out of your body, and your face is also going to come out, if you can't help but scratch it, it will be a pockmarked face in the future, it will not look good, bear with it, don't scratch it." ”

It turned out to be chickenpox, and I put my mind at ease, "Mom, I know, I'll endure it." ”

Chen's mother didn't feel at ease, what if she couldn't help it, she had to find someone to watch her, and then Chen Yubin came in. Looking at him, Chen's mother thought, sooner or later anyway, this chickenpox is not a big problem, so she said to him: "Binbin, you are at home with your sister these days, don't go outside to play, my sister has chickenpox, you have to watch her, don't let her scratch it." "When chickenpox comes out, you generally don't go outside in the sun.

Chen Yubin, who had just entered the house and was assigned a task, said that he was very confused, chickenpox? What is that, "Mom, what is chickenpox?"

"Chickenpox is a kind of pox on the body, which is filled with water, and if it is scratched, it will become pockmarks, and it will not look good if there are pockmarks on the face, so Binbin has to look at her sister, don't let her scratch it. ”

Hearing that there were pockmarks that would become unsightly, Chen Yubin hurriedly nodded and said that he would be optimistic about his sister.

After breakfast, Chen's mother went out to work, but she was still afraid that the two children would be disobedient and run out to play, so she locked the door from the outside. When leaving, he repeatedly emphasized that the two children should stay at home obediently.

After Chen's mother left, Xiaoxi took out some boiled chestnuts and asked Chen Yubin to sit on the bed, and the two of them ate them seriously.

As soon as the chestnuts in the space were ripe, the creek was put into the warehouse, and some were taken for Grandpa Chen to cook, and then half of them were dried in the sun, and half were put into the warehouse while they were hot. Occasionally, it is very delicious to eat as a snack, and now this sun-dried boiled chestnut has replaced peanuts and has become Grandpa Chen's favorite snack, and he often asks for it from Xiaoxi.

It's really boring to sit like this, even though there is food to eat, and to be locked up in the house. Xiaoxi was nothing, because she was trying to suppress her urge to scratch her face, and according to what Chen Yubin had just said, chickenpox began to appear on her face.

Chen Yubin, who was bored in the room, spun around, and somehow turned to the door. He had seen Chen's mother lock the door before, so he turned the door lock curiously. The door lock of Xiaoxi's house is the kind of double-safety bullet door lock.

I don't know if it's because the bouncing sound in the door lock is good, or if it's fun to lock it for a while and turn it back for a while, Xiaoxi is a little drowsy, and Chen Yubin is still playing.

Xiaoxi, who was about to sleep for a while, suddenly heard Chen Yubin's panicked voice sound, "Sister, sister, I locked the door and can't open it, come and take a look, what should I do?"

The frightened brook opened his eyes violently, got out of bed and took his shoes, took two steps to the door, twisted the handle but did not move, and was stuck.

Seeing that her sister didn't twist, Chen Yubin couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and after a while, her mother came back, and she spoke with a crying voice, "Sister, what should I do? If I can't open the door, my mother will beat me when she comes back." ”

Xiaoxi really didn't know what to do, so she could only comfort: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll try again." Then he began to twist the handle persistently to return it to its original position, but to no avail, and his fingers hurt.

There was a sound of turning the door lock, and Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin, who were sitting on the bed in a daze, jumped out of bed and ran to the door in a few steps.

Chen's mother turned the key a few times, and found that she couldn't open the door, so she knocked on the door, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong? Why can't the door be opened?"

"Mom, the door is locked. Xiaoxi's voice trembled a little, and his heart beat a drum.

"What, what are you doing with the lock-up? Get it back. ”

"I can't go back, I've been working on it for a long time, and I haven't twisted it. ”

Chen's mother tried to turn the key a few more times, but she still couldn't twist it, and said angrily, "What are you doing in the house, ah?

Xiaoxi carefully explained, "We were just playing, and we didn't expect to lock it up." ”

Originally, it was supposed to be time to cook, but now she was consuming it with the door lock, and Chen's mother suddenly became angry, "Can this door lock also be played? ”

After saying that, she twisted the key vigorously but still didn't twist it, so Chen's mother went to the next room to carry a big axe and smashed the lock with the back of the axe. The two "clangs" scared the two children in the house enough. I didn't expect the door locks to be quite strong, and they weren't broken.

Chen's mother, who smashed it twice, reacted, she was so angry that she went to smash the door lock, quickly withdrew her hand, smashed a few bricks next to the lock, and then reached in and opened the lock.

Pushing open the door, Chen's mother turned around with a dark face and picked up a thin yellow wattle stick from the yard, and dangled the stick into the house, "Isn't this lock easy to play?"

Chen's mother's anger and the stick in her hand, the two of them were frightened, like quails, their heads bowed and froze in place, not daring to reply at all.

"What else do you have to play? It's an itchy hand, isn't it?" Chen's mother was very angry with her stick and made a gesture to hit them.
