052 Warmth is like water

Liu Dongshan came back during his lunch break, and when he came back, Li Banxia was sitting in the bamboo forest and tinkering with the herbs in the medicine plate.

She looked very serious, and Liu Dongshan didn't notice it when she approached.

Seeing that her arm was injured and she was still busy there, Liu Dongshan shook his head helplessly. Yesterday, I repeatedly told her to rest properly if she injured her arm, and wait for him to come back to do something. As soon as this person went out in the morning, she came out again to work, and there was really nothing she could do.

"Why, do you feel better now?" Liu Dongshan rolled up his mud-stained trouser legs, sat down next to her and asked.

"Much better, why are you back?" Li Banxia turned around and asked in some surprise.

Liu Dongshan sat in the corner of the stool, the place was too narrow and uncomfortable to sit on. Seeing this, Li Banxia moved some place for him and asked him to sit over.

"Come back, you're okay with your arm, right?"

"It's much better, I'm a doctor myself, I'm always watching, it's okay. It's you, if you are free at noon, you can rest for a while, what are you doing when you go home? ”

Can you come back for helping people to work? How she hadn't heard of it. Then Uncle Liu's house is still some way from here, and it will take half an hour to walk alone.

Liu Dongshan stared at her injured arm for a long time, his hand floating in the air and wanted to hold it and look at it, but he was worried that Li Banxia would be in pain, so he had to withdraw his hand and replied: "Don't you just think that you and your three children are at home, don't you worry." Can you eat it at noon? ”

"I've eaten it."

"What did you eat?"

"It was the pot that the three children burned for cooking, and they didn't ask me to do it." Speaking of this, Li Banxia seemed very happy, and also told Liu Dongshan about Liu Lingzhi's shouting to eat meat at noon and the bad intentions of the little guy, and Liu Dongshan also laughed again and again.

"Can you eat it?" Li Banxia asked him.

"I've eaten, others may have just put the bowl at this time, I quickly ate a few bites and came back to see, and I have to go back to work in a while." These people work, and one of them has to help others to do it, and they can't let their families suffer, right? Liu Dongshan said with a smile.

The man seems to be smiling, and his laughter sounds comfortable. It's not heavy, it's not light, it's not soft, it's not dry, it's just light and natural. Seeing his smiling face, the children dared to make a mistake, and Li Banxia himself was bolder.

"There's still a little time, do you want to go to the bed and squint for a while, and I'll call you up when the time comes~~" Li Banxia raised his hand to block the dazzling light.

The sun in the sky was tight, and the sun seemed to be steaming from the earth. She stayed in the bamboo forest and felt the sun for a little while, and it was hard to imagine how hard it would be for them to stay in the fields all day long.

"I don't have time to sleep, and when I finish eating and drinking tea, I have to go to the fields. Uncle Liu is not easy to be alone, and it is also difficult to hire a job, and I and a few other people plan to finish a little life in his field today, and save him from having to toss in the field when he is old. ”

Uncle Liu lost his wife at an early age and a son in middle age, and he is a very pitiful person. When I was young, I could do it myself, and I could still get by. When he is old, he can't do anything, and the people in the village who can help him will help him if they can, and if they can't help, they will help him look at the water and take care of him more.

This time, a few people made an appointment to help Uncle Liu, originally said that they didn't need to be paid, but Uncle Liu had to stuff a few coppers into the big guys. It is difficult for the elderly to earn money, how can the real hard-earned money be vague about work?

Go to someone else's house to work, just give someone a job to someone else. You have to work harder at his house than at your own home.

As he was talking, Liu Dongshan put down the teacup in his hand, "I can't sit anymore, I have to go." ”

"Let's go? If you sit for a while, you might still be resting. ”

"There is still a way to Uncle Liu's house here, go early, and it will save people for a while. If you're injured, don't be busy, just take a walk around the neighborhood, or go to bed and lie down for a while, don't touch it again~~"

"Whoa! I know, you should be careful. Work hard is hard work, and you have to take care of yourself. Avoid more shady places, the sun is strong, and it is not good to get too much sun. ”

"I see." Liu Dongshan turned around, put on the straw hat hanging on the wall again, and was about to leave the house.

"Hey~~ Teacup, the teacup is lost~~" Li Banxia hurriedly picked up the teacup that Liu Dongshan had just put down and chased after him. This is the teacup he carries with him every day when he does things. It is better to say that the teacup is still a good one, but it is actually a tea-holding utensil made of a long bamboo tube, but it is also light to carry on the body, and it is also loaded with more water.

"Look at me, forget about this stubble~~" Liu Dongshan was about to leave.

Li Banxia called out to him and shook the bamboo tube in his hand, "There is not much water, you wait a while, I will add some to you." ”

"Eh~~Your hand~~ Be careful, don't touch it~~" Liu Dongshan was not at ease, so he also followed, lest Li Banxia touch the injured arm.

Li Banxia came to the kitchen, lifted the teapot, thought about it, and went back to his room, grabbed half a handful of honeysuckle from the cleanly cleaned drawer, and put it in the bamboo tube.

"What's this?" Liu Dongshan asked, pointing to the things she put in the bamboo tube.

"Honeysuckle."

"I know it's honeysuckle, so I just want to ask you what you're putting this in your tea for, what's the use?" Liu Dongshan took the bamboo tube from her hand, leaned in front of her to look at it, and sniffed it again.

It's very fragrant!

"The weather is too hot, and putting some honeysuckle to make tea is good for the body." Seeing that Liu Dongshan was still looking at this, Li Banxia had no choice but to say: "Don't look at these small honeysuckles, but the effect is not small." Honeysuckle tea is sweet in taste, cold in nature, and has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and evacuating wind and heat. It can effectively treat all kinds of carbuncle sores, blood dysentery and warm fever that are common in summer. ”

"People who live like you live in the fields all day in the heat of the day, and there are certainly not a few problems on their bodies, plus mosquito bites, and they don't take good care of it, the problem is even more serious. With this honeysuckle tea, it can finally be appropriately relieved. Come, you smell it, isn't it fragrant? ”

"Hmm." Liu Dongshan nodded, the incense is indeed quite fragrant. It's just that a big man drinks flower tea, and he is embarrassed to say it.

Originally, honeysuckle should be brewed in a transparent glass teacup, and 2-3 grams of honeysuckle tea should be put into the cup. Brew with boiling water to cool slightly to about 90C, and then add a lid to prevent the aroma from being lost. The conditions were limited, and Li Banxia had to brew it for Liu Dongshan to bring with him.

Liu Dongshan was still awkward in his heart, and the old men rarely drank flower tea, but Li Banxia didn't care about this, and stuffed the bamboo tube into Liu Dongshan's arms one by one.

Liu Dongshan felt that her arm was injured, and he used one hand to do these things for himself, rubbed the bamboo tube that was still exuding a faint fragrance with his hand, and held it tightly and walked into the sun.
