Chapter 277: Man'er Was Taken Away (Second Watch)
Qiu Chen also asked people to inform Mrs. Lin in the West Courtyard, at this time, an armchair was placed in the door hole of the West Courtyard, Lin Xu helped Mrs. Lin out and sat on the armchair, Lin Xu was pulled to the ice of the pond by Ah Fu running over, and at the same time, a thin incense stick that had been lit had been stuffed in his hand.
The meaning of the New Year's fireworks is different, and it is naturally started by Lin Xu and Ah Fu.
Lin Xu and Ah Fu set off box flowers, as the spark of the incense stick lit the fuse, the box flower made two muffled sounds, and the two meteors flew straight into the air, and then exploded in the dark night, and instantly became a brilliant spark.
The people on the embankment let out a cheer in unison, and then there was a loud exclamation, and there was a buzzing sound.
After setting off two boxes of flowers, Qin Li and Qin Yong took Aman to start setting off the bucket flowers, one by one meteors, you chased me and rushed into the night sky, emitting a dazzling light, illuminating the night sky at the same time, but also illuminating the smiling face of Aman holding the bucket flowers!
The brilliance of the fireworks is dazzling, and the beauty makes people can't help but get excited with the brilliant blooming of the fireworks. It was so beautiful that the fireworks were all over, and the villagers gathered in front of Lin's house were still lingering and reluctant to leave.
It's just that Qiu Chen is not included in this. Once, she saw much more fireworks than this brilliant and gorgeous, so that almost all the fireworks and silver flowers blooming all night have seen it, these relatively simple fireworks are nothing at all, on the contrary, she cherishes the joy and smiles of her children, family members and even neighbors even more. can see the joy of Afu Aman and Lin Xu, and can see the admiration and excitement of the people in the village, and her silver is not in vain.
Beckoning the children to come back, Qiu Chen greeted Lan Ying and others, who were familiar with each other, and took Ah Fu Aman and his family back home, and Chen, who had returned one step earlier, had already called the people in the kitchen to cook the dumplings, pinched a little, and when Qiu Chen and Ah Fu Aman returned to the house to wash up, a plate of white and fat dumplings was served.
Jiaozi dumplings, originally because of the food eaten during the New Year, gradually evolved into dumplings.
Qiu Chen took Afu Aman, Old Man Mu, Qin Li, Qin Yong, and Chengzi together, sat on the kang in Xili, and began to eat dumplings. Seeing that Chen and Chunxiang Yuegui were still serving under the kang, Qiu Chen also took the three of them to eat dumplings, and told Chen: "Send some dumplings everywhere, and let the big guys eat them in their mouths when the New Year is handed over." ”
Chen smiled: "Mrs., don't worry, it has been sent everywhere." ”
Afu Aman was too excited to set off the fireworks just now, and then he entered the house, sat on the hot kang, and only ate one or two dumplings, and quickly dozed off. Qiu Chen did not force the two children to keep the New Year, took off the cotton clothes and pants of the two children, set up a bed quilt for the two children, and placed them on the kang on the spot.
Ah Man slept like a piglet, undressing and covering the quilt did not affect her sleep in the slightest, Ah Fu sensed it, opened his eyes and saw Qiu Chen muttering 'mother', Qiu Chen gently patted the little guy's shoulder, Ah Fu, who usually always strives to be a little man, rubbed his mother's arm with peace of mind and fell asleep with peace of mind.
Chengzi ate the dumplings, and very sensibly with Chen and the two girls, packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the outhouse to join in the fun. Qin Li and Qin Yong couldn't sit still, so they also went to the outhouse to play poker and chess with the other two guards and their families.
Old man Mu was in good spirits, sitting across the kang table, drinking slowly with a cup of tea, looking at Qiu Chen, who patiently coaxed Afu Aman to sleep, and asked: "After the New Year, it is the season of acne, when do you plan to give the two babies pox?" ”
Qiu Chen's two children tucked the corners of the quilt, then turned around and smiled at Old Man Mu: "After the New Year, the sixth day of the first lunar month is Aman's birthday, and when Aman finishes his birthday, he will plant pox for the children in the family...... Well, in this way, a few days of rest will not delay going to school after the Lantern Festival. ”
Old Man Mu nodded: "Ten days, five days at most is enough." …… The sixth day of the first month, oh no, the first seven kinds of pox, after the tenth day of the first month, it should be very good, and then you can take the children out of the house to go around...... Oh, I'm going to take the girl out for a walk. ”
Hearing that Old Man Mu was going to take Man'er out, Qiu Chen was slightly surprised and said with confidence: "Okay, the school will not start until the Lantern Festival, just come back before the start of school." ”
Old man Mu pouted: "Where can I go in three or five days?" I'm going to take Man'er for a walk around the city, so that the child can open his eyes and see for a long time...... The main thing is that the medicinal materials that are boiled next cannot be bought on the market, and I need to go to Dali. ”
"Hah, Dali?" Qiu Chen's previous slight sleepiness was swept away, and his body leaning on the big pillow suddenly sat up straight, staring at Old Man Mu and asking in disbelief.
Old man Mu seemed to have expected Qiu Chen to be so surprised, but he was a little surprised, Dali is far away in Nanyi, not to mention women's Taoist families, even many well-informed men don't know the Tao. However, judging by this woman's reaction, she should know the Tao of Dali, and she should still have some understanding...... I don't know the way, where did this woman know the way and understand Dali?
Glancing at Qiu Chen, Old Man Mu still said lightly: "It seems that you also know where Dali is, there are many rare medicinal materials in the dense forest over there that are not found in the north, I will take Aman to take a walk around, and go to Dali to find medicinal materials is to stop by ......"
Speaking of this, seeing that Qiu Chen still looked nervous, staring at him with a bit of a vicious taste, Old Man Mu touched his nose very stupidly, and said very dissatisfiedly: "Don't worry, Ah Man, a little girl, the old man can still protect it." In a year, two years at most, I'll send you back the little girl with all your beards and tails. ”
Before teaching the little girl to practice martial arts, seeing that this woman was broad-minded, not like most women who sting evil spirits, and who was not at ease with the child and did not let go, he told her his plans in advance, and now it seems that although the woman in front of her is more free and easy, she is still a woman in the end...... Knowing that Lu Dao was like this, he would take Ah Man away directly, so he didn't tell her in advance to make trouble for himself.
Looking at the impatience on Old Man Mu's face, Qiu Chen also remembered the true identity of this person, who was both poisonous and martial...... Swallowing his saliva, trying hard to suppress the worries and dissatisfaction in his heart, and relaxing his expression slightly, Qiu Chen spoke: "Mu Bo, you are sincere and sincere for Aman's good, I know the Tao, but ......"
As soon as Old Man Mu heard Qiu Chen's opening words, he knew what was going on, so he didn't give Qiu Chen a chance to say it at all, he waved his hand directly, and interrupted Qiu Chen with an indifferent face: "Don't be so vain with me, the little girl is the disciple of the old man, and I should be good to her." ”
Qiu Chen's blocked breath was choked in his throat, he couldn't go up or down, and after seeing that Old Man Mu finished speaking, he was about to explain, but Old Man Mu had already jumped off the kang, waved his hand and walked straight out: "Okay, the old man is not keeping the New Year, let's go!" ”
Before the words fell, the person had already left the Xili room, and when the last word was spoken, the person had already walked out of the main room. Qiu Chen opened his mouth and looked at the still shaking door curtain and froze.
Turning around, Qiu Chen also thought about it. Not to mention that there are still some days before the departure time that Old Man Mu said, it is good to really let Aman go for a walk with him. I believe that with Old Man Mu, Aman is not afraid of getting sick or anything. It's just that the little girl is too young and has traveled a long distance, and the traffic is so inconvenient at this time, so she will suffer some crimes.
Unable to think of any way to stop it for a while, Qiu Chen simply put the matter aside for the time being, and also relied on Afu Aman to lie down and make up for sleep.
Before dawn, the sound of firecrackers in the village sounded again, and Lin Xu and Chengzi also took Ah Fu to set off a firecracker outside the gate. After coming back to eat dumplings, Lin Xu and Chengzi took Ah Fu to the village to pay New Year's greetings to the old man.
After a circle, there were a lot of copper plates in Afu's purse, as well as three or four small silver beans, which were the New Year's money given by Manchu Niang and Liu Yugui, which was about one penny of silver. Even Lin Xu and Chengzi also received a lot of copper coins.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, the average family relaxes from the busy preparation of the previous year to the most concentrated day of the year.
New Year's greetings, greetings, and blessings in the first family, the hospital, and the village; The second day of junior high school is the day when the married girl returns to her parents' home.
Although the second elder of the Yang family had only been away for more than 20 days, Qiu Chen still packed up his gifts and took Afu Aman and Chengzi to the Yang family's shop by car. On the way, Qiu Chen couldn't help but think of going back to his parents' house last year, when Qin Zheng happened to be recuperating from his injuries at the Lin family, and he followed her back to his parents' house......
On the fourth day of junior high school, Qiu Chen took Afu Aman, Junyan Junzhang, and Junli back to Liujiaao together.
On the fifth day of the first month, clean and clean, and put a whip to drive away filth.
The sixth day of the first month is Aman's birthday. The little girl is three years old! Of course, it was also Qiu Chen's birthday in Hyundai, and she didn't think about the past, but just took the children to spend a happy day.
Early in the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Qiu Chen personally took Afu Aman Junli to take a hot bath, and Junzhang Junyan and the girls under the age of ten at home also washed and bathed, and changed into neat clothes. Then, Old Man Mu took out the 'ripe seedlings' that had been clinically verified and gave the children at home a pox.
Although the vaccinia vaccinia vaccines used by Old Man Mu are all 'mature seedlings', and they have also been clinically verified, confirming that the curative effect is exact and the toxic side effects are small, Qiu Chen is still inevitably worried, and has already secretly prepared Zixuedan and Niuhuang Angong Pills and other treatment drugs for high fever and temperature disease, in case any child overreacts, she can also rescue, so as not to delay the rescue with the current medicine.
The children were vaccinated with cowpox early in the morning, and lunch and afternoon were still very good and lively, and in the evening, the little girl Meizi, who was full of children, was the first to start the heat. Two other children are starting to wilt.
Qiu Chen rushed over when he heard the news, and took a few people from the Chen family to wipe the bodies of the three children with alcohol to cool them down, and after staying up for most of the night, the children's high fever subsided, Qiu Chen checked the children's bodies, and there were three or five red dots on the back of the plum, and the other two children did not have acne, the fever subsided, and they were sleeping soundly. Qiu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Chen a few words, and then dragged his tired body back to his room.
The next day, the children who had the pox had two or three more fevers one after another, and basically no other symptoms appeared. What worries Qiu Chen is that his children, Junyan Junzhang Junli and Afu Aman, have no symptoms, they don't even wilt, and they are still alive...... She couldn't help but worry, could it be that a few children were not sensitive to cowpox, and the pox was not successful?
Although when Old Man Mu did the clinical test of vaccinia before, he tried the effect with human pox vaccine and confirmed that the effect was accurate, but now every child in his own family has symptoms, and the only way to verify whether the vaccinia vaccination is effective is to vaccinate again...... However, after all, the vaccinia of this human pox is not as safe as the vaccinia vaccinia, and there is still a certain percentage of people who will actually be infected with smallpox...... Qiu Chen really couldn't bear to do this kind of test for his child.
After two more days of waiting, Meizi and the other two children, who had symptoms at first, were all well. Junyan Junzhang and Afu Aman did not have symptoms, but Xiao Junli had a low-grade fever for one night, and after Qiu Chen gave him physical cooling, he was stable and did not develop further.
After three days, no more children showed symptoms, Qiu Chen pondered, and found Old Man Mu: "Uncle Mu, several children did not show symptoms this time...... We should replant again! ”
Old Man Mu glanced at Qiu Chen in surprise, waved his hand and said impatiently: "Is it bad that you don't have symptoms?" Our children practice martial arts every day in vain? That means that the children's bones have begun to take shape! Also replanted? You should think this is farming, and you will make up for the lack of seedlings......"
Qiu Chen was speechless when he was reprimanded, and when he thought about it, it should be the same. His five children came late and participated in the morning and evening exercise for a short time, so Junli had symptoms. Junyan Junzhang and Afu Aman have been exercising in the morning and evening for more than a year, and their bodies are really strong...... If the body is strong and the resistance is strong, it is normal to have no symptoms.
After figuring it out, Qiu Chen was no longer entangled. turned around and began to think about how to persuade Old Man Mu to give up his plan to take Aman on a trip...... But before Qiu Chen could come up with any good way to convince Old Man Mu, early in the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the children went out to exercise early, and when they came back, there would be less Aman. At the same time, there is one child missing, but it is not the handsome words that were hung under the door of Old Man Mu before, but the adult son who has been studying and exercising very hard!
“…… Old Man Mu left with Aman, and Chengzi invited himself to follow! Qin Li was a little ashamed to report the situation to Qiu Chen.
Qiu Chen woke up from the surprise of getting the news, turned his gaze to Qin Li, waved his hand and said, "I know the truth!" ”
Qin Li looked up at Qiu Chen, whose eyes were red and his expression was a little wooden, he opened his mouth, but he finally couldn't say anything, bowed down, and retreated in a daze.
Old Man Mu is also really, the life of the Lin family is thriving day by day, not to mention the Hou Ye, it is only the lady herself, and the little lady will definitely be the master of gold and jade in the future, what kind of guard do you want, you don't need to train into any peerless masters...... The key is that the child is still so young, so the old man took the child away without saying a word...... It's no wonder that Mrs. is like this, if she were a different mother, I am afraid that she would have wailed in pain and even fainted!
Complaining in his heart, Qin Li didn't dare to slack off, how to say it, it was also a big deal, after Qiu Chen came out, he hurriedly went to the front yard, said hello to Qin Yong, discussed a few words, and then turned around and went to deliver the news to Hou Ye. This matter must be reported to Hou Ye, otherwise if the lady is worried that the little lady is sick or something, they will not be able to explain to Hou Ye.
Man'er was taken away, and the family seemed to be much less at once. Junyan Junzhang didn't say anything, even Xiao Junli was vague and knew that Aunt Lu Dao was in a bad mood, and she changed her previous liveliness and became extremely well-behaved and quiet.
Ah Fu pulled Qiu Chen's sleeve and apologized to his mother with a ashamed face: "Mother, it's all my son's fault, I couldn't stop Grandpa Mu and let him take his sister away......"
After all, Old Man Mu had already reported to Qiu Chen before, and she was somewhat mentally prepared, but because Old Man Mu made a sudden move, she recovered much faster than others imagined.
Hearing Ah Fu blame himself like this, Qiu Chen was worried about his son, but he also inevitably felt sorry for his son. Aman is at home, Afu wants to be his brother, he is always well-behaved and sensible like a little adult, at this time, Aman took it away, Afu still blames himself so much, and complains about himself, which is too distressing.
Qiu Chen stretched out his hand to hug Ah Fu, and he didn't know if he wanted to find some comfort with Ah Fu's small body, so he only leaned on Ah Fu's shoulder, raised his hand and patted Ah Fu's back, and said softly: "I know that Ah Fu loves his sister and is filial to his mother, but Ah Fu is still young, and now he can't keep up with adults, especially a master like Grandpa Mu, so Ah Fu doesn't have to blame himself so much, and Ah Fu is not to blame for this time...... My mother has nothing to do, my sister has nothing to do, Grandpa Mu will take care of and protect my sister's ......"
Qiu Chen comforted the son in his arms, his mood gradually calmed down, but there was a sudden dampness and heat in his neck, Qiu Chen's movements were slightly stagnant, holding Ah Fu's arm tightened, gently patting Ah Fu's back, but he didn't say anything more.
She was mentally prepared in advance, and she was still worried and scared when she heard that Aman was taken away, Ah Fu didn't know before, and she watched her sister being taken away so suddenly, and after all, Ah Fu was only five and a half years old, not yet six years old, and she was just a child, in other people's homes, she was just a stupid and crazy child who played crazy every day, and she was just a coquettish child, but Ah Fu thought that he had lost his father, and he regarded himself as a man at a young age, and he was filial to his mother and loved his sister...... It is her blessing to have such a child, and it also makes her full of guilt every time.
Sometimes, she asks herself, is she not taking enough care of her children? Or is it not strong enough in front of the child to make the child become like this at a young age? At this moment, Ah Fu was able to cry in her arms, but Qiu Chen's long-standing worries were gone, and he could cry and cry in her arms, which showed that the child was not estranged from her.
In this way, Qiu Chen hugged Ah Fu and gently patted Ah Fu's shoulder, until Ah Fu's sobbing shoulders gradually calmed down, Qiu Chen dug the shy boy out of his arms, took his hand with a smile, washed the face of the shy and embarrassed child, combed the child's hair clumsily, and changed into a cotton coat herself, then pulled Ah Fu to sit down on the kang, and said softly: "...... During the Chinese New Year, your grandfather Mu mentioned to his mother that the medicine that Ah Fu wants to practice can't be bought here, so he needs to find it in person and bring Aman...... It's like a study tour when you were studying......"
Ah Fu had calmed down at this moment, his eyes were still a little red, and the previous fear on his face had faded a lot. He blinked his eyes and listened to his mother's explanation to him, tilted his head and said, "What my mother said is 'It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books'?" ”
