Chapter 54 - Keeping the Word
You Shi came back from washing clothes, and heard Huang say that Sister Gui of the Xiao family Qiao may not be able to do it, and the child's last and only wish is to eat noodles, Xia Lily and Yaya took flour to Xiao's house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
You Shi was taken aback, isn't Sister Gui'er just a wind chill? Didn't everyone pool the money to go to the county seat to get medicine? It's only been a few days, how can it ......
You and Qiao are good friends, their husband is still a Jinshi in the same year, the two families are close when they are rich, and they also help each other and love each other when they are in trouble, and when they hear that Sister Gui has something, she naturally has to go, and she also brought four eggs, a bowl of flour and a piece of bacon.
As a result, when they arrived at Xiao's house, Sister Gui was already asleep and sweating, Xia Lily wiped Sister Gui'er's sweat, and asked Xiao Shouyin to find a change of clothes for Sister Gui, an eight-year-old boy who knew where his sister's clothes were, or You Shi's help.
Sister Gui sweated and changed her clothes, and she woke up, and she didn't want to sleep anymore, anyone who saw it understood that this child would definitely not fail, Xia Lihe explained to You Shi the cause of Sister Gui and her treatment method, You Shi can be regarded as relieved.
Xiao Mai came back from the field in advance at noon, he was worried that the child didn't want to go to the ground, but who let the Xiao family in Xixi only have three rooms and one household, he didn't go to farm, what will the family eat in the future, and besides, being able to have land to plant is already a way for them to be convicted by the emperor's grace, if you don't go to work, don't you still have a grudge against the court?
Xiao Mai had to go to the field, and when he came back, he was anxious, for fear that Sister Gui would have something, but when he saw that Sister Gui was actually better, the three girls of the Xia family were still here!
Xia Baihe is a young girl, Xiao Mai is a young married man, and it is inconvenient for his wife to talk to Xia Baihe in the same room without him, so he quit the house and listened to You Shi explain in the courtyard how Sister Gui'er's illness was cured.
The father and son of the Xia family are also working in the field, but their budding rice field is quite far from Xiao Mai's family, and they also came back at noon to find that Xia Lily and they were not there, and I heard the Huang family say that there might be something wrong with the Xiao family, Xia Boxi and Xiao Mai are the same year, of course he hurried over.
Fortunately, there is no danger, and it is his own sister who can easily save people's lives, Xia Boxi and Yourong, on the way back, he praised Xia Baihe: "I really can't imagine that the medical books read by the third sister are so useful, I knew that studying medicine was a great thing, and I should have studied with the third sister back then." ”
"I didn't know much about the content of the book, so I never dared to see a doctor, until I was on the line of life and death in the Lotus Nunnery, when I had to go out to test the medicine myself, and the result was really successful, I realized that just reading the book is not enough, more contact with patients and more hands-on, is the foundation of learning medicine, I am cured, and I suddenly understand many things that I don't understand in the previous medical books, probably this is the so-called epiphany!"
Xia Baihe had already thought about explaining the reason why her medical skills were not bad, saying that she was suddenly opened when she was on the line of life and death in Lotus Nunnery, and the Xia family would definitely not ask in detail...... Although she is not so much like a good person using the Xia family's sympathy for her relatives, she is really afraid that the Xia family will gradually forget the sins suffered by the original owner when they see her returning safely, she just doesn't want them to forget the real Xia Lily.
The real Xia Lily died of illness alone in the Lotus Nunnery, except for her, no one would have thought of how reluctant the child was to be reluctant, how fearful and hateful the child was before he died, and the real three girls of the Xia family would never want to be forgotten.
Sure enough, as soon as Xia Boxi heard Xia Lily talk about the Lotus Nunnery, he immediately closed his mouth consciously, You Shi also glared at him, but Yaya was still excited about Sister Gui'er's safety, she walked happily beside Xia Lily, and as soon as the adult didn't speak, she opened her mouth and asked: "Third aunt, you promised to go back and make noodles for Yaya, don't forget." ”
"Of course, the third aunt will not forget what she promised." Xia Lily said with a smile.
You Shi deliberately diverted the topic and deliberately asked Yaya: "Yaya, you said that you can skip today's lunch, because you saved the noodles for Sister Gui'er?" ”
Yaya was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her little face wrinkled, and several adults wanted to laugh when they looked at it, but no one immediately opened their mouths to comfort them...... The child has to teach her from an early age what it means to be true to her word.
The way back was silent because of this, so when they arrived at the courtyard where the Xia family lived, Xia Shiming, who was waiting for them to come back at the door, saw that his sister was about to cry, and he didn't dare to ask, the matter was already obviously written on Yaya's face, wasn't it?
"Have you eaten?" You asked his son.
"The second aunt cooked rice porridge, but grandpa said that he would wait for you to come back and eat it together." Xia Shiming replied softly.
It was the lunch that the Huang family reluctantly came out to make, because Xiahou's ancestors and grandchildren couldn't cook, You Shi told the Huang family in advance before going out, she might not be able to come back at noon if the Xiao family had something to do, and asked the Huang family to try to get some food for the men of the Xia family, she meant to boil some water and then take out the snacks brought by Xia Lily, and deal with it, I didn't expect that the Huang family also boiled the porridge seriously.
"Dad, the Xiao family is fine, thanks to the third sister...... Xia Boxi saluted Xiahou who came out of the house after hearing the sound, and told Xia Baihe about going to the Xiao family to cure Sister Gui's children.
When Xiahou came out of the house, he muttered in his heart, how could they come back so quickly when the Xiao family had something to do, is it that Sister Gui'er can be very strong, but when she heard that her daughter took care of the Xiao family's child's illness, she nodded with relief: "The three girls' medical skills have not been learned in vain, and the three girls have been smart and sensible since childhood!" ”
Xia Boxi was afraid that Xia Hou would make Xia Lily think of sad things again, so he hurriedly said: "Dad, it's not early, we have to go to work in the field in the afternoon, let's eat first!" ”
You Shi and Xia Boxi thought about it, she smiled and nudged Yaya forward: "Dad, our Yaya is also very sensible...... she told Sister Gui that Yaya saved food from her mouth.
Xia Hou and Xia Shiming understood why Sister Gui'er was fine, but Yaya was still worried.
"Yaya understands benevolence and righteousness at a young age, yes, yes." Xiahou praised.
"My sister's friendship with her friends is worth learning from my brother and admiring my brother." Xia Shiming also officially hugged his fists from Yaya.
Yaya's face was very conflicted and struggled for a while, and then she made up her mind: "Mother, Yaya won't eat at noon." ”
Xia Hou saw that his little granddaughter regretted it, so he specially praised her and encouraged her, but Xia Shiming only saw that his sister was sad and couldn't eat lunch, and he couldn't see that she was regretting, he really admired Yaya, and he didn't want to starve Yaya, he wanted to give his share to his sister, but before he could speak, he let Xia Lihe stop him with his eyes.
"Well, then you can go back to the house and rest." You didn't say anything else.
Yaya lowered her head and went back to the house, she went to the house where Xia Baihe lived now, You Shi remembered that there was something else at home: "Dad, the third sister has picked a place to live, I want to let her eldest brother go to the neighboring village in the afternoon to find someone to build the kang, the kang will have to be burned for a while before living in it, the sooner this matter is done, the better." ”
The matter of the back house Xiahou has always been taught to the eldest daughter-in-law, and he is relieved that he never takes the initiative to ask, and today You said it because he wanted to borrow Xia Boxi's strong labor to run errands, this is to settle Xia Lily's residence, and Xiahou naturally agreed.
"By the way, I thought of another thing about the Xiao family, when I went to the ground today, a few colleagues from the past asked me, saying that there were four carriages looking for our Xia family, who came? I said that the second girl of our family asked someone to bring something to see me, and they were very envious when they heard it. Xiahou watched You Shi put the porridge on it, didn't rush to eat, and asked for the opinion of the eldest daughter-in-law first.
Before You Shi could say anything, Xia Shiming was startled, and stopped him: "Grandpa, no!" ”
Xia Bo washed his face and reprimanded his son: "The adults are talking, what are the children interjecting?" "The etiquette of the Xia family is not taught like this.
“…… But ...... "Xia Shiming, who has always known that he is a little gentleman, seems to want to fight his father for some food?
Xia Boxi was even more displeased, and Xia Hou was also strange, why was Xia Shiming suddenly not sensible?
"Shi Ming, the Xia family has always been a family of people who accumulate virtue and do good, listen to grandpa's words." You Shi hurriedly said that she didn't want her son to be punished by his father and grandfather, and the Xia family had always been strict with her son.
“…… But ......" Xia Shiming was still struggling, and he didn't admit his mistake.
"You've read all your books in vain?!" Xia Boxi finally became angry, "Your sister knows that you can save your own lunch to save someone's life, why are you so stingy?" ”
Xia Shiming knelt down, but his expression was obviously not admitting his mistake, he respected his father's authority, but he didn't think that he was saying or doing wrong.
"I don't think you want to eat today's lunch!" Xia Bo is even more angry, he can't indulge his children because of his poor family, so that the children become petty and greedy.
Xia Shiming didn't speak, he began to cough violently, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief when coughing, almost habitually covering up something.
It's the first time Xia Lily has seen Xia Shiming cough like this, and she frowned at the moment, this is not like the occasional itchy throat, this child is really just anemia and illness?
The rest of the Xia family had seen Xia Shiming's illness, and when they saw him like this, their hearts suddenly softened, speaking of which, the reason why this child was reluctant to eat a little was because adults couldn't let him worry about food and clothing?
"Don't kneel, go back to the house and think about whether what you're doing is right." Xiahou said.
Xia Shiming knelt and kowtowed to the elders, and then coughed and walked out of the hall, You Shi looked at him like this, and his distressed eyes were red, but when the father-in-law and husband trained the child, the woman's family could not object to it in person.
"Dad, is it delivered by every family in the village?" You diverted the subject.
"Of course, even if some of them disagree with me in the court, but they were demoted because of the crown prince, and what my Xia family can take care of must be taken care of." Xiahou and the prince are not only teachers and students, but also Weng sons-in-law, how can you not be grateful for helping your eldest daughter's family speak up?
"Then the Jin family is going too?" You asked cautiously.
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and finally understood why the eldest daughter-in-law asked him specifically, and after thinking about it, he sighed: "Let's go for the sake of the child." ”
