Xie Yujiao carefully instructed the wound to be cared for, and then got up and prepared to leave. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that it was time to eat, Chuncao Niang had already prepared lunch, and even the table was set.

couldn't stand Chuncao Niang's repeated retention, she thought that she had just eaten the cake anyway, and her stomach was not very hungry, so she simply stayed and ate two bites.

After being served at the table, Xie Yujiao was dumbfounded.

Is this their family's lunch?

Chuncao's family has a paralyzed grandmother in bed, a father, a brother and her family of five, a pot of thin millet porridge, three bowls of slightly drier for Liu Erwa, and grandma, and her own guest, the rest of the basin is all clear soup and little water rice soup.

There are two dishes on the table, a bowl of pickle gnocchi and a bowl of stir-fried pine cabbage.

Xie Yujiao can imagine how pitiful it is to put less oil when stir-frying.

Looking at such a simple ration for this family, Xie Yujiao, who had already sat down, wanted to get up and leave, and it was too late to leave.

She pushed away the thick millet porridge in front of her, took another empty bowl, and said to Chuncao Niang: "Auntie, I just eaten, I'm not hungry, I can't eat these, give me some rice soup, I'm just thirsty." ”

"Why did you have lunch? Don't coax your aunt, eat, don't dislike your aunt's simple food! Chuncao Niang pushed the big bowl of thick porridge in front of Xie Yujiao again.

Xie Yujiao pushed the bowl away again, "Really, auntie, I'm not polite to you, I don't believe you asked Chuncao, when she went to my house, my grandfather and I were eating, right, Chuncao!" ”

Chuncao looked at the bowl of thick porridge that was being pushed around, and she was very greedy, but she knew that she couldn't have such a thick porridge alone.

Thinking of the sweet pastries I ate at Xie Yujiao's house just now, I felt that people might not be hungry.

"Really, mother, when I entered the courtyard of Yujiao's house, I smelled a particularly sweet smell. Yujiao said that she and Grandpa Qu made up a new pastry, and I still ate it, but it was delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious pastry, it's fragrant, sweet, fluffy, and it's delicious. Grandpa Qu also said that it was still delicious, but it was a special cost of food. ”

Chuncao tasted the sweetness of the cake and wondered when she would be able to eat such a delicious pastry.

Although she is already a big girl, the delicious food is always unforgettable.

When Chuncao Niang heard Chuncao say this, she was no longer reluctant, and served half a bowl of rice soup to Xie Yujiao, and then poured the bowl of retreating porridge into the basin again, stirred and stirred, and then served it to the three of them.

"Yujiao, you're welcome, it's just that my aunt's family doesn't have anything to eat, don't be weird!"

"Don't worry, auntie, I'm not polite, I'm my own family, don't be idle, I'm too presumptuous!"

"Yes, in your own home. In the future, I will come to play with your Chuncao sister if I have nothing to do, anyway, you don't have a companion over there, come out and walk around, there are many children here, lively! ”

"Hey, good aunt!"

For a meal, although Xie Yujiao drank half a bowl of rice soup and didn't eat two mouthfuls of food, a table of people surrounded it, but it was also lively.

After the meal, Xie Yujiao waited for Chuncao and her mother to clean up the table, and she was about to say goodbye and go home.

"Auntie, then I'll go!"

"Why don't you sit for a while, you kid's family has nothing to do, play with your sister Chuncao!"

"No, grandpa doesn't know that I'm having lunch at your house, maybe I'll be waiting for it now, and I'll come back when I'm free!"

"Okay, Chuncao, send your sister Yujiao!"

"No need, Sister Chuncao, I know the road, I'll get home after running for a while, grandma, uncle, aunt, I'm leaving, Sister Chuncao, go back!" Come and play at my house when you have time! Xie Yujiao walked out while saying goodbye, walked out of the courtyard gate, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and trotted home.

She's hungry and she's going home for dinner!

Chuncao Niang looked at the little girl who ran away with some meaning, and sighed in her heart that she was really a sensible child, and she was also lucky to be taken in by Old Man Qu, and the designated food was not her own coaxing gruel.

Chuncao's neighbors, who had lunch, were eating at the door with a bowl, listening to the movement of Chuncao's house, they all looked at Chuncao who sent people to the door, and asked curiously: "Chuncao Niang, why did this girl from the Qu family come to your house?" Do you still have food left at home? ”

Chuncao Niang retracted her gaze on Xie Yujiao and said to the neighbors: "Yujiao came to see the second baby, didn't the second baby also get whipped?" When he changed the dressing this morning, he saw that his wound was a little suppurated, and his father was worried, so he went to ask Mr. Qu, who said that Yujiao knew how to look at injuries, so he wrapped some medicine and followed Chuncao to take a look. ”

One of the villagers also participated in the disturbance at the entrance of the village, and was also whipped, and he is still lying on the bed, thinking of his child's injury, which is similar to what Chuncao said, so he has the heart to investigate.

"Yes, the second baby's injury is also suppurated? So is my family. The little girl has seen it, has she said anything? ”

Chuncao Niang didn't feel that there was anything to hide, so she generously said Xie Yujiao's original words: "I said, I said that I didn't take good care of it, so that the wound was stained with dirty things, and I want us to wash and dry the sheets and covers, as well as the strips of cloth that wrap around the wounds, and carefully wash and boil and dry them every time before use." said that it was an injury that could have been healed in five or six days, but if he didn't take care of it carefully, he had to lie down for a month, not to mention the cost of medicine, and his body suffered a big sin. ”

"Really? Can she believe what a little girl says? The man didn't believe it, why did he get contaminated with dirty things, he put medicine on it, wrapped it well, where did it come from.

There are others who believe and say, "Don't believe it? Didn't you say that the girl was literate, I heard that the old man Qu also spent two taels of silver to buy a book on medicine, besides, there is also the old man of the Qu family, people have been in and out of the mountains and forests for decades, and they have never seen his family find a doctor, and he knows more than us. ”

"Yes!" The man also believed it a little, thinking that he would go back later and do what Chuncao said, and it wouldn't be troublesome anyway.

Xie Yujiao didn't know that someone believed her words, which made her children suffer a lot less.

She trotted all the way home, and as soon as she entered the yard, she shouted, "Grandpa, I'm back!" Have you cooked? I am hungry! ”

She searched for the scent and ran to the kitchen.

The old man was busy in the kitchen and shouted, "Wash your hands, you can eat it soon!" ”

Xie Yujiao happily washed her hands and helped set the dishes and chopsticks.

The old man brought the noodle soup to the table, looked at his granddaughter's hungry appearance, and asked, "It's time for dinner, didn't the Liu family leave you to eat?" ”

As soon as she said this, Xie Yujiao sighed, "Grandpa, most people in the village are like this?" Or is the Liu family relatively poor? ”

"What's wrong?" The old man took a sip of hot soup and looked up and asked.

Xie Yujiao looked at the big bowl of thick cake soup in front of her, thinking about the lunch she saw at Chuncao's house just now, and sighed: "They left me to eat, but looking at their family's food, I really can't bear to take an extra bite." ”

"Gruel?" As soon as the old man thought about it, he knew what was going on.

"Well, a family of five, such a big pot of porridge, containing three bowls of thicker porridge from the old lady, Liu Erwa and me, the rest of the basin is full of rice soup, and the vegetables are also pickle gnocchi and a bowl of boiled cabbage. Why did you get so bitter? ”

The thicker porridge that was specially served was the same as the porridge that her family usually drank.

"You've never had a life like that, have you?" The old man snorted and ate with his head stuffy, and looked up to ask.

Xie Yujiao also nodded while eating: "Well, although my family was poor when I was a child, I didn't get to that job." ”
