As the sun set, Zhao Qingzao also started a new round of busy work in the kitchen, water was boiling in the pot, and on the yellow clay stove next to the stove, a small clay pot was frying medicine.

A pair of medicines can be boiled two or three times, and they have been fried at noon, but now they only need to be boiled hot, Zhao Qingzao looked at the water in the pot while looking at the medicine, and was busy chopping vegetables, and he was also busy for a while.

She loves the feeling of being busy, it makes her feel fulfilled, it makes her full of energy, and it allows her to forget a lot of her worries.

This terrible world, there are many obstacles, she is a girl, feeling the thick shackles on her body, this is the shackles that belong to the whole world, she is powerless to change, let alone resist, only silently swallowing the bitterness, burying the uneasiness in her heart.

It was only when she was busy that she felt alive.

The pork liver was cut very quickly, the medicine jar was already boiling, Zhao Qingzao washed his hands, held the ear of the medicine jar with a cloth, lifted the medicine jar, and immediately put a teapot.

The water in the pot was just steaming, and seeing that it was still very early, Zhao Qingzao took a bowl, poured half a bowl of medicine, took the honey, and brought it into Shen Changting's room.

"Brother Changting, wake up, get up and drink medicine."

Zhao Qingzao put the medicine on the broken table next to him and pushed Shen Changting, who was sleeping soundly.

Shen Changtingbai didn't seem to have the habit of sleeping, he slept very lightly, Zhao Qingzao pushed it, he woke up, sat up very neatly, looked at the sky, and said, "It's night." ”

"Well, I'm cooking, you drink the medicine quickly, I'll cook something delicious for you later." Zhao Qingzao smiled and spoke, like coaxing a child.

Shen Changting looked at the half bowl of medicine, his face was a little bitter, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhao Qingzao was speechless, picked up the honey on the table, and said: "This is honey, I specially found someone to buy some, put some in the medicine first, and you take it first, drink the medicine and eat a little, to ensure that it is not bitter." ”

Persuaded with bitterness like serving the master, Zhao Qingzao also felt tired, so he quickly picked a spoonful of honey, put it in the medicine and stirred it, and then stared at Shen Changting.

Seeing this, Shen Changting's face looked a lot better, and he was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Zhao Qingzao, so he ate a small spoonful of honey first, feeling sweet and greasy, and his brows stretched a lot.

"Here, the medicine is already cold." Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao hurriedly brought the medicine to Shen Changting.

Shen Changting nodded, holding the bowl and gurgling violently, this time he didn't continue to vomit, but drank it all, and after drinking, he hurriedly put the bowl on the table, and without hesitation, he took the spoon and picked some honey and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's really hypocritical, a big man, more girls than girls, it's not ashamed."

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao rolled his eyes, saw that Shen Changting's expression was relieved, took the spoon, picked a little more, fed it to Shen Changting's mouth, and said, "Come on, this is good honey." ”

"Okay."

Shen Changting nodded very smoothly, and ate the honey in one mouthful.

Zhao Qingzao patted Shen Changting's back and said, "It's okay now, are you feeling better?" ”

"It's okay, the medicine has already been swallowed, this time it's much better, thanks to you, you still have a way." Shen Changting smiled with some relief.

"That's it."

Zhao Qingzao smiled and was about to leave with the bowl.

But just as she turned around, she heard Shen Changting ask, "What's wrong with your face, it's swollen for several bags." ”

Zhao Qingzao turned his head and said very casually: "It's nothing, I just let the mosquito bite, and then scratched it a few times, it is estimated that it is swollen." ”

"That's all there are mosquitoes at this time." Shen Changting frowned, and then said: "Then you pay more attention, and if you are free in a few days, you can buy two mosquito nets." ”

"Well, I know, let's go cook first, you also get up and move, and eat in a while."

Zhao Qingzao packed up the bowl and left in a hurry.

"Okay."

Shen Changting smiled, not thinking about Zhao Qingzao's embarrassment.

This night, Jiu Duli burned a pork liver soup, and then stir-fried a bowl of pork lungs, and that's it, in order to thank Chu Xingshan, she also specially brought some pig lungs to Grandma Niu.

At night in the ravine, except for the occasional few neighbors chatting and visiting, there was no other fun, Zhao Qingzao talked to Shen Changting for a while, and pestered Shen Changting, asking him to teach him to write.

In this regard, Shen Changting did not refuse.

However, Zhao Qingzao was naturally reluctant to use good paper and ink, so he simply took the yellowed straw paper as paper, and the ink was specially diluted a lot, so as not to waste it too much.

Shen Changting seems to have received an excellent education, teaching Zhao Qingzao to write, he is very particular, and he also deliberately wrote a hand-written book of dozens of words that look very good, so that Zhao Qingzao can copy them.

Brush words, beginners are very particular, the word can not be too big, too big to grasp well, it is difficult to practice, too small to grasp the stroke, easy to get into a ball.

In this regard, Shen Changting is very old-fashioned, each word is just the size of the bottom of the bowl, and after writing, he taught Shen Changting to take a pen.

Zhao Qingzao is very attentive and serious about practicing calligraphy, she knows the horror of illiteracy, and now it is rare to meet such an enlightened person as Shen Changting, if she doesn't follow the study, it will be really stupid.

She doesn't ask how good her handwriting is, as long as she can communicate normally, others can recognize her, and she is content.

Practicing words, literacy, she is completely concerned about these two items, literacy is not difficult, Shen Changting copies books, she can take the opportunity to sharpen ink, it is difficult to practice words, but she must persevere.

After practicing for an hour, his wrists were sore, Zhao Qingzao saw that the time was not early, and he didn't want to waste the candles, so he simply washed and slept.

The next day, Shen Changting still had nothing to do, and originally planned to go to the bookstore to have a look and get a job, but Zhao Qingzao still persuaded her to rest for two days, and then took her clothes and went to the river to wash her clothes.

Because he didn't want to bump into the Zhao family, Zhao Qingzao went very late.

However, when she came back with her washed clothes, she found Shen Changting sitting at the door of the house, looking at her inexplicably, and his eyes were surprisingly soft.

Zhao Qingzao didn't care, took the bamboo pole and put on his clothes, dried them happily, wiped his sweat, and entered the house with a basin.

But Shen Changting also returned to the house, frowning slightly, looking at Zhao Qingzao, his face was very strange.

"What's wrong, I have flowers on my face?"

Zhao Qingzao was seen very awkwardly, especially now that she lives with Shen Changting, she is very worried about whether Shen Changting has any crooked thoughts, now she is not fully developed, and she is not mentally prepared, but she doesn't want to be harmed like this.

Shen Changting hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma told me, you went to pound the honeycomb yesterday?" ”

Zhao Qingzao didn't expect Grandma Niu to sue so easily, and immediately smiled: "Yes, but why did Grandma come suddenly, what about people?" ”

"She came to see me, and when she saw that I was fine, she went back, and she told me that you went to make honeycombs with Chu Xingshan yesterday, or hornets, don't go to make honeycombs in the future, it's too dangerous." Shen Changting frowned and spoke with some seriousness.

Zhao Qingzao nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, I'm fine, you see, it's nothing, it's not a matter of nothing, and the swelling will go down after two days." ”

"Yes." Shen Changting sighed and said, "Next time, go directly to the town to buy it, you can rest assured, I will drink the medicine well." ”

Shen Changting suddenly spoke so well, which made Zhao Qingzao feel a little awkward, and immediately smiled: "Of course you have to drink it well, otherwise it will waste my hard work, but at noon, there is a beehive, I will steam it, and I will give it to you to eat when the time comes." ”

Now that Shen Changting has found out that she is pounding the honeycomb, the honeycomb can also be taken out openly, and there is no need to hide it.

Shen Changting nodded silently and said, "Then you are busy first, and I will go out for a walk and relax." ”

"Okay, you really should walk around more, it's good for your body, and you should walk around more sooner or later in the future." Zhao Qingzao persuaded.

"Yes."

Shen Changting snorted, turned around and went out.

Zhao Qingzao didn't have anything to do at home, she cleaned up at will, and began to practice calligraphy seriously, she had the opportunity to practice calligraphy this year, she was determined to seize all the time to sharpen, in case Shen Changting had something to go out in the future, after a long time, she could finally get a letter.

If you don't know how to read big characters, you can't talk about being bullied, you can't even communicate, you have to ask someone, Zhao Qingzao is a good character, you can take the initiative to do it, you will never ask for someone, you won't, it doesn't hurt to learn more.

At about ten o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Changting came back, not with bare hands, but with something in his hand.

"Coming back so soon."

Hearing the movement, Zhao Qingzao put down his pen and spoke in surprise.

"Yes." Shen Changting smiled and said, "Practice calligraphy, but your writing is wrong, and you don't grasp the weight of the pen well." ”

"You've just practiced, you'll teach me some skills later."

Zhao Qingzao opened her mouth a little embarrassed, her writing was really miserable, the brush words were very difficult to write, the pen was too thin and light, and the pen was heavy on a puddle of ink, which looked dead and fat, often written horizontally crookedly, looking like an earthworm.

"This kind of thing can only be practiced, and there is no skill."

Shen Changting opened his mouth with a wooden face, and as he spoke, he put the small package he was carrying on the chair on the side, there was no way that there was no furniture at home, except for two chairs and a few small stools, and the entire hall was only one table, and Zhao Qingzao also occupied it.

"What are you holding there?" Zhao Qingzao looked at the package and asked curiously.

Shen Changting said casually: "Give you the medicine to heal your injuries." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Qingzao was stunned for a moment and said: "I don't need it, the swelling will be reduced in two days, why bother so much, where are you doing it, how much does it cost." ”

"I didn't spend any money, just some earthwork." Shen Changting didn't care about his opening.

"Hijikata?" Zhao Qingzao hesitated a little, the earthwork in these years is often the kind that is very tricky, and she really doesn't dare to use it.

But before she refused, she saw Shen Changting say to her: "Don't be busy yet, come here, wipe this medicine first." ”

Saying that, Shen Changting opened the package, and inside was a jar-like thing made of a small bamboo tube, and it was covered with a cloth, which looked exquisite.

The cloth was unraveled, revealing a black ointment that looked like a grated herb.

"Does this thing really reduce swelling?"

Zhao Qingzao was a little square, and when he got closer, he smelled it with a strong smell of herbs, and couldn't help frowning his nose.

"Anyway, it won't hurt anyone, come and try it."

Shen Changting said, pulled Zhao Qingzao aside, reached out and dipped a little medicinal juice, and wiped the swollen area on Zhao Qingzao's face.

Zhao Qingzao was stung a little harder, more than Chu Xingshan, there were three or four small lumps on his face, in addition to the head and back of the neck.

Shen Changting touched the medicine very carefully, and then let go, Zhao Qingzao smelled it, and felt that the taste was a little strange, and he couldn't help frowning.
