Chapter 15: Coaxing

Xia Yao was sweating all over, blown by the cool breeze in April, she was excited, she was a lot more sober, she didn't wear much today, but she sweated a lot of exercise, and her clothes were wet and sticking to her body, not only very uncomfortable but also easy to catch a cold.

It seems that she has to buy some ginger and go back to boil water to drink, and now her family is too burdened to be sick even if it is a small cold.

Thinking about going to the big purchase, she went home a lot faster, and suddenly felt that there was something strange on the soles of her feet, and when she raised her feet, she saw that the soles of her shoes were worn out.

She rolled her eyes helplessly, her shoes were originally picked up old shoes, not only did not fit, but also the wear was already very serious, today only care about sports, did not consider the state of the shoes at all, now it's good, the shoes are broken like this, it is estimated that it is not good to make up, and can only add one more item in the purchase order.

I went around the farmer's market and the nearby grocery store, bought a lot of daily necessities that were urgently needed at home, and then went home with a large bag and a small bag, which attracted a lot of attention along the way.

She looked calm, she didn't steal or rob, and she was at ease.

When she opened the door and entered the house, Xia Fanglian was sleeping, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she stared at the door nervously, and when she saw that it was her, she relieved her heart, muttered sleepily and continued to sleep.

Xia Yao lightly took the things into the house, opened the window for ventilation, and went to the kitchen to start working, the boss who sold clams in the market rushed home, and sold the remaining more than a pound of clams to her cheaply, just cooking soup at night to drink, the price of clams is not expensive, but the nutritional value is very high, the taste is very delicious, and my grandfather used to buy soup to drink.

Keeping the clam in the water and adding two drops of oil, my grandfather said that this would make the clam spit out the mud and sand in his stomach, and she did these things skillfully, although his grandfather's appearance was blurred in her memory, but the familiar feeling made her feel as if he was still around her.

I don't know how he is doing now, his uncle and aunt are like that, will they treat him well?

Why did she start to feel sad for no reason, she smiled self-deprecatingly, it seemed that after being reborn, she became sentimental, and all the feelings that had been suppressed in her heart were revived one by one.

"Xiao Yao-" Xia Fanglian was woken up by her movements, rubbing her eyes and walking over, "Are you going to eat again?" ”

"I'll cook and eat in a while." Xia Yao wiped his hands dry, "Mom, let's wash the sheets and quilt covers, right?" ”

"Okay." Xia Fanglian responded indifferently, and began to help remove the quilt cover under Xia Yao's guidance.

I don't know how long it has been since I washed the quilt cover emitted a strong rancid smell, and it was so dark that I couldn't see the original color clearly, and even the quilt core was stained.

It seems that it is not a problem that can be solved by washing quilt covers, but fortunately, the mattress quilt cover left by my grandfather can be replaced, although it is also very worn, but it is still clean.

poured nearly half a bag of laundry detergent into the big basin, and countless soap bubbles appeared after a little stirring, Xia Fanglian was as curious as a child, constantly poking the white bubbles, and laughing happily from time to time.

Xia Yao put the sheets and quilt covers into the basin, and after a while, these beautiful soap bubbles disappeared and turned into black and gray sewage.

Xia Fanglian looked at her suspiciously, she had to move a small bench and let her sit on the other side, and the two of them pulled a corner and began to scrub it.

At first, Xia Fanglian was still very interested, but it didn't take long for her hands to feel sore, and she glanced at Xia Yao timidly, and saw that she was scrubbing with a focused face, so she had to continue to sit in front of the basin and rub it for a while.

"Xiao Yao, I'm hungry." Xia Fanglian said pitifully.

"It's ready to be washed right away." Xia Yao coaxed, "Mom, you help me hold it, I'll wring it out." ”

Xia Yaoren had little strength, and he was so tired from washing the dirty sheets and quilt covers that he couldn't do it, so he finally hung it on a hanger to dry, so he hurriedly dried his hands and rushed to the kitchen to cook.

"Mom, drink this first." Xia Yao poured a small bowl of brown sugar ginger water to Xia Fanglian, the spring is cold, the weather is already wet and cold, Xia Fanglian, who usually doesn't exercise much, has touched the cold water for so long today, in case the cold enters the body, it will be miserable.

"It's spicy, it's sweet, it's delicious." Xia Fanglian drank it in one gulp, holding the bowl in her eyes, "I still want it." ”

"I can't drink anymore, I'll eat right away." She looked at Xia Fanglian, who was as aggrieved as a child, and her heart softened.

Xia Fanglian usually nests in the bed at home, and has not exercised for a long time, but today she got out of bed and tossed for a while, and her stomach was already hungry.

It's probably been a long time since I've eaten chicken legs, and the braised chicken thighs brought back by Xia Yao made Xia Fanglian eat two large bowls of rice, until Xia Yao was worried that she would accumulate food and not let her eat any more before she put down the bowl in frustration.

"It's delicious." Xia Fanglian stroked her stomach and said with satisfaction.

"Mom, what do you want to eat tomorrow?"

"I still want to eat chicken thighs." Xia Fanglian's eyes widened, looking at Xia Yao expectantly, after such a long hard life, she felt that the best thing was chicken legs.

Xia Yao tilted his head sideways and thought about it, a chicken leg in the vegetable market's lo-mei stall costs five yuan, if you buy it yourself, it won't even be half the price if you count all the costs, since your mother wants to eat it, it's better to buy some and eat it yourself.

"Okay, I'll buy chicken drumsticks tomorrow." Her cheerful promise immediately made her mother smile and squint.

"I'll wash the dishes."

Xia Fanglian happily cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Xia Yao hurriedly stood up and took the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, "I'll just wash it." ”

Xia Fanglian's condition is not stable, Xia Yao tries to avoid letting her into the kitchen, in case she bumps and makes her illness attack, then the consequences are unimaginable, the most terrible thing is that there is not even medicine at home now, she sighed secretly, the top priority is to find a way to get medicine.

"Xiao Yao, it's all useless for my mother." Xia Fanglian leaned against the door frame and looked at her, and suddenly burst into tears.

Xia Yao was taken aback, what she was most afraid of was that Xia Fanglian was emotional, and hurriedly put down the bowl to wipe her mother's tears, "Mom, what are you doing?" ”

"Mom is sorry for you, she can't help you with anything......" Xia Fanglian always liked to nag this sentence before she fell ill.

Xia Yao's scalp was numb, "Mom, you have helped me a lot, you are the best mother in the world, Xiao Yao loves you the most......"

"But now I have to rely on you for everything, even cooking and washing dishes." Xia Fanglian couldn't stop wiping her tears.

Xia Yao secretly complained in her heart, she would rather her mother be as naΓ―ve and ignorant as a child, than constantly blaming herself like now.

"That's because Xiaoyao has grown up and likes to take care of her mother, so my mother will give me this opportunity, okay?" Xia Yao kept caressing Xia Fanglian's back and coaxed softly.

"Xiao Yao, don't comfort me, it's my mother who is useless, and I can't do anything......"

"Who says you can't do it? Mom washed the sheets just now, didn't she? Xia Yao hurriedly pointed to the sheets drying outside the window, "Let's change the sheets, we must be fragrant and ......warm when we sleep at night."

Xia Fanglian looked at the sheets in a trance, and finally stopped crying.

"Mom, just wipe the table and the chairs." Xia Yao twisted a rag for Xia Fanglian and looked at her expectantly.

"Okay." Xia Fanglian smiled and touched Xia Yao's head, "Mom and Xiao Yao work together." ”

Xia Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that he had already been shocked into a cold sweat.

Clean up the housework, help Xia Fanglian take a bath, Xia Yao sat beside her and massaged her limbs, she usually rarely exercises, today is to wash the sheets and wipe the table, if you don't massage her for a while at night, it is estimated that her body will hurt so much that she can't get out of bed tomorrow morning.

Xia Fanglian was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, she snored gently, looking at her beautiful face, Xia Yao couldn't help but be stunned, she never said these sweet words to appease her mother in the past, every time she was stimulated to get sick, she just hid aside and waited silently for her to calm down before giving her the medicine to eat, and in that process, Xia Fanglian hurt herself and herself, I don't know how much she suffered, she was sad and guilty.
