Chapter 159: Lin Xianniang came to the door

After feeding a bowl of sugar and salt water, he didn't see that Qin Yi and An Lu didn't send the decoction in, and Qiu Chen didn't notice anything unusual, he poured another bowl of water, mixed it with sugar and salt, blew it cold, and began to feed Qin Zheng water again.

The second bowl was fed again, Qiu Chen turned his gaze, and the corner of his eye caught the door curtain, moving without wind!

With a twist in his heart, Qiu Chen went to pour the third bowl of water with an expressionless face. It seems that it is troublesome to pour a bowl of water every time, so I patrolled the table for a week, cleaned the teapot on the table, poured the waste water into the gargle of the kang corner, and then poured a pot of hot water full of it, and muttered in my mouth: "Why didn't I think about it just now, no...... You can drink it with a teapot spout! ”

As he said this, Qiu Chen thought of the reed poles, or the thin bamboo pipes, although these were not soft enough to be complete, they could also be made into straws.

However, she was not in a hurry to do this for the time being. Right now, it seems like some people are too bored!

Holding the newly mixed haode sugar and salt water, Qiu Chen turned his head again, looking at Qin Zheng, who still didn't seem to be fully awake on the bed, her face was like a flower.

"Liansheng, you need to drink a lot of water...... We're going to have to keep drinking...... Not only because you sweat and bleed and need to replenish water, but also because the anesthetic in your body needs to be diluted by drinking water, and you can stop feeding water when you are more mobile, sober, and able to drink water on your own......"

While talking, Qiu Chen was still very patient to feed Qin Zheng water, what made her very 'happy' was that Qin Zheng's movements of drinking water became more and more free, and the water overflowing from the corners of her mouth gradually decreased.

"Hey, Lian Sheng, do you feel better? It seems that the effect of drinking more water is still good, after drinking this bowl, I will mix two more bowls, right? ”

The corners of Qin Zheng's mouth twitched, and the spoonful of water that happened to be fed in almost all leaked out of the corners of his mouth, Qiu Chen was surprised: "What's wrong, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Qin Zheng was silent, and finally shook his head lightly, and said, "It's okay, don't worry!" ”

Qiu Chen sighed, "Oh, that's good, scare me!" ”

In the next half bowl of water, there was basically no water leaking, Qiu Chen finished feeding the third bowl of sugar and salt water with a happy face, got up and said: "Lian Sheng, you biedong, you must not break the wound again......"

While speaking, Qiu Chen stood up straight, turned his head to look at the door curtain that was moving without wind again, and wondered, "Why hasn't the decoction been sent in yet?" ”

"Uh...... Here it comes! Qin Yi agreed, but he dragged the little maid's arm with one hand and picked up the curtain and walked in.

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "It's just right, the general is more sober at this time, and he should be able to take the medicine smoothly." ”

While speaking, Qiu Chen seemed to naturally reach out and touch the medicine bowl in An's hand, and then changed color and said, "This medicine ...... Why is it all cold? ”

While asking, Qiu Chen's eyes only glanced at An Rong, and then turned to Qin Yi next to An Rong, and Tang Wenyong, who followed behind him, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were completely cold.

What exactly are these people? Just to see their heroic and mighty generals play a little temper? Do you see the excitement? Or are you afraid that after General Qin turns into a wayward child, he will be angry with them?

It's unbelievable! Don't look at what time it is!

"Uh, cold?" Tang Wenyong was so stabbed by Qiu Chen's cold gaze that he didn't dare to look at each other, looked away in embarrassment, and said in a panic, "Anren, it's not going to heat up soon!" ”

"Yes, the little ones are going to be hot!" In the small room, no one was angry, and no one used force, but the air in the whole room was so congregnant and heavy that people couldn't breathe.

Qiu Chen's eyes turned, he returned to his usual gentleness and calmness, and said with a smile: "It's almost noon, I'll go and see how lunch is doing." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Tang Wenyong and said, "Tang Gongzi, look, give the general a bowl of chicken soup porridge for lunch, okay?" Do you want to add a serving of ginseng? ”

If it were a normal day, Qiu Chen might not have let go of these people who didn't know what to call them so easily, but now that Qin Zheng had just undergone surgery, although the person had woken up and there was no fever and other adverse phenomena for the time being, she didn't dare to be careless at all. After all, it can take some time for a fever to develop, not to mention a more dangerous infection, or even a systemic infection, sepsis...... Without seeing Qin Zheng get through the initial three-day dangerous period, and not seeing Qin Zheng's wounds heal, she really didn't dare to be careless, didn't dare to slack off, and didn't dare to relax.

Hearing Qiu Chen talk about business, Tang Wenyong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also said with a straight look: "The chicken soup porridge is very good, as for the ginseng...... It's better to wait until you're done eating, and then use it! ”

Regarding the law and sequence of taking traditional Chinese medicine, Qiu Chen is still more convinced of Tang Wenyong. After all, being trusted by Qin Zheng to be a healer will not only be because he is trustworthy, but also because his medical skills can also be trusted. Besides, after these days of the two talking about prescriptions and medicines, Qiu Chen also has an understanding of Tang Wenyong's medical skills, and he is completely worthy of her trust.

Promised, Qiu Chen walked out of the front yard and went straight back to the backyard. gave Qin Zheng's meal to Daxing's family, and went back to his house. Since those people over there are so idle, she doesn't care.

Regarding the boring behavior of the gang just now, Qiu Chen didn't think much about it except for indignation. She has always known that she is not an empathetic person, and because she has gradually become familiar with Tang Wenyong's more straightforward personality for many days, she always unconsciously substitutes for him, treating him as a classmate or colleague who does research with her, she is obsessed with academic theory and practice, frankly cute, and sometimes makes some childish jokes to relieve pressure.

That's all.

As for the general Qin, Comrade Jingbei Hou's abnormal performance was directly classified by her as a short-term mental decline caused by injuries and anesthetics.

Since Qin Zheng is currently in a good condition, Qiu Chen will let himself take a break. She leaned on the kang, intending to just take a break, but she squinted and was soon awakened by the cheering children who ran in.

I had a lively meal with the children. Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng are also there.

The workshop has been completely straightened out, whether it is the group of big stewards of Chengzi, Lan Ying, and the Qingshan family, or the small stewards who were mentioned later, they are all able to skillfully manage the workers under them. The ground is frozen, there is no farm work, Lao He also left a few days ago, the Yang brothers go to the workshop every day to see, go out to purchase, and then send delivery, pull raw materials, and other things are not much.

Because of the snow in the mountains and forests, the purchase of medicinal materials such as schisandra and sour jujube kernels was temporarily suspended, and the Aoyama family's Hezhi'er was sent to the kitchen to distribute healing medicine. Yuxiang went home to rest temporarily because the month was old. Counting the days, she will probably give birth to a child when Luo Buma is harvested next year. Can you come back to work when the time comes, Qiu Chen is not sure, in this era, a woman's biggest responsibility is still to give birth to a child in the Gu family, she has just given birth to a child, even if her body can afford to eat, there are still many things to do to breastfeed and take care of the child, and it is normal for Yuxiang to rest for a year.

After eating and taking a short break, the children are going to school.

Qiu Chen took his coat and hat around his neck and put them on for Ah Fu Aman. Thick cotton clothes and trousers, fur coats, fur scarves and fur hats, after they were put on one by one, the two children were soon wrapped into balls. However, looking at the white and chubby little girl Ah Man lined with snow-white rabbit skin with a smile on her face, and then looking at Ah Fu next to her, who was also happy but still didn't grow much meat, Qiu Chen still felt dissatisfied.

She always wonders every time, weishenme Ah Fu will become so quiet? Do you follow the begonias?

While thinking wildly, Qiu Chen tied the buttons for the children. In this era, there are no buttons, and the buttons used on the children's clothes are specially customized by her, which are cut and polished with yellow horns and wrapped in copper buttons, and then sewn onto the clothes, smooth but not cold, very beautiful.

Qiu Chen took two pairs of cotton gloves tied to the rope, hung them around the necks of the two children, looked at them carefully, and said with a smile: "In the evening, your second uncle will come back." You'll be back from school soon. ”

The two children obviously had a deep affection for Lin Xu, and when they heard that the second uncle was back, their eyes lit up, and they nodded their little heads and agreed with a smile.

Turning his head, he saw that a few older children were also dressed, so Qiu Chen sent a few children out of the house together.

Seeing the children go out of the second door, Qiu Chen stood under the eaves of the porch and looked up at the gray sky.

"It's so red that it should snow at night at the latest. I hope Brother Xu and they will go faster, don't meet them. Yang Shumeng's voice sounded behind Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen looked at the sky blankly, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu'er left after lunch, and he shouldn't be blocked on the road." ”

After a slight pause, Qiu Chen turned his head to look at Yang Shumeng: "Second brother, if it snows heavily, it may be inconvenient to travel on the road." Our vegetables and meat are enough...... I'm going to ask Lan Ying. If you don't have a lot of stock, you have to buy some as soon as possible. ”

Saying that, Qiu Chen was about to leave, but was stopped by Yang Shu's fierce laughter: "What time is it now, you just rushed to the town, and you don't have much meat and vegetables to buy." Instead of going to the town to buy it, it is better to send someone to the village to ask who has a pig, buy it and kill it yourself, how can you eat a bite of a pig. ”

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then became overjoyed.

In modern times, she has eaten pig-killing dishes in the Northeast, a large pot and a large bowl of pork stewed with sauerkraut, and braised pig's head...... That's called a lively and fragrant one!

It is said that not only the Northeast has pig-killing dishes, but also Chongqing, Sichuan, and Hunan, but it is called shaved pig soup there, the name is different, but the essence is the same.

Thinking like this, Qiu Chen also felt that his tongue was full of words, and he couldn't hold it back.

"Okay, this is good...... Hehe, I'm going to find Lan Ying, let her go to the village to ask, and try to ask a few more, if you are going to sell pigs before the New Year, let's order a few more, and you won't have to go to the town to buy pork in the future......" As he spoke, Qiu Chen had already walked quickly to the East Cross Courtyard, and Zuihou's voice came from afar.

When it came to buying pigs and killing pigs, Lan Ying also applauded.

"This is good, buy pigs and kill pigs by yourself, you don't have to run to the town, it's also a lot more cost-effective, and you can also drop pigs' heads and trotters and a set of pigs into the water...... Hehe, I'll go to the village and ask! ”

Lan Ying is also in a hurry, and she is about to go out as she speaks.

However, the Qingshan family said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to rush to the village, you go to the house and ask, who has pigs to sell, make sure you ask one by one!" ”

As soon as the Qingshan family said this, Lan Ying also thought about it. Qiu Chen has always been generous and righteous, she made a move to buy pigs in the village, not to mention anything else, she will definitely not let the seller suffer in terms of price and price. Moreover, the pig sellers also save the trouble of selling pigs in the town, so such a good thing naturally depends on the families of the Lin family's helpers first.

"Hey, your heart is still turning fast, I'll ask." Lan Ying said, already out of the house.

Qiu Chen sat on the edge of the kang in the women's lounge, took a small bowl of hot oil tea handed over by the Qingshan family, smelled the faint sweet fragrance and said with a smile: "This oil tea is fried well, whose craftsmanship is it?" ”

Xiu'er blushed slightly and hung her head and whispered, "Auntie, it's my ......"

"Hehe, that's good, Xiu'er can fry such fragrant oil tea......" Qiu Chen smiled and praised again, scooped a spoonful and drank it, tasted it slowly for a while, and said with a smile, "Well, it's good, it's good, it's sweet and delicious, the oil and sugar are just right, it's delicious and not greasy...... Oh, by the way, I got some dried osmanthus a few days ago, and someone will send some later, and you can put a few grains in it when you drink oil tea, not to mention the aroma, it can also get rid of the internal cold, which is good for women. ”

A few people were naturally overjoyed, and they laughed a few words again and again, Qiu Chen changed the topic and said: "A few of you, you also have pigs at home, and when you go home in the dark, you will also discuss with your family, if you have pigs to sell, don't bother, keep them for our family." We have a lot of family and eat a lot of meat...... You tell the family, just feed it carefully, and you need a pig in almost an episode, and the family will come to ......."

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen's gaze skipped over the Qingshan family's He Xiu'er and Zhi'er, looked at the other women who came later, swept over their happy faces, and said with a slight smile: "You don't have to think about who is in front of and who is behind, feed for a few more days, the pig will grow bigger, and you won't suffer!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, the Qingshan family and Xiu'er Zhi'er were okay, and the other later ones rushed to confess to Qiu Chen, and they also patted very unclever sycophants by the way...... Qiu Chen listened to it with a smile, lowered his eyes and continued to drink oil tea. But she sighed secretly in her heart, as more and more helpers were hired at home, she had less and less time to come to the workshop, and there was no way for her and these new workers to have such intimate interactions like Lan Ying and Qingshan's family.

After drinking two sips of oil tea, the women saw that Qiu Chen was not in good spirits, so they withdrew knowingly and went to the adjacent shed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Zhi'er also pulled Xiu'er out, and soon there was only one person left in the house.

"Well, the ...... of the Qinghe family What's going on? Chunhong or go home for dinner? Qiu Chen finally asked.

Anyway, at the beginning, Lan Ying didn't say that the two people from the Qingshan family and the Qinghe family were the first people she knew when she came here, and they got along very happily at first, and when Chunhong was looking for her mother-in-law's house, she still worried a lot...... It's just that no one could have imagined that something like that would happen later.

However, since the defeat of the Wang family, Chunhong's mother-in-law and the man were beheaded, Qinghe's family did not show much resentment, and lived a miserable life, even if Chunhong came to work, it was only on the first day when she came, she knelt at the second gate and kowtowed three times, and after that, she didn't rush to admit her mistakes, or greet the sycophants......

Speaking of which, this family is actually quite good-hearted, but they are a little short-sighted, and they mischose Chunhong's in-laws, which caused all the things that followed.

The Qingshan family looked at Qiu Chen's face and said thoughtfully, "Their family is not doing well...... Well, it's bad. ”

After saying this, seeing that Qiu Chen's face did not change, the Qingshan family's narrative gradually became fluent.

"You also know, because Qing and his sister-in-law worked here at the beginning of spring, Chunhong got married again, and only Qinghe's eldest brother went to the field alone, and too much land could not be planted...... But later Qinghe's sister-in-law ...... Chunhong brought back a sick and crooked child, who ate and grabbed medicine, Qinghe's sister-in-law's previous savings were quickly spent, and only relying on the harvest of two acres of thin fields, the family was afraid that it would not be enough for two months...... Fortunately, now Chunhong has come to work and has a salary, but Chunhong still thinks about her children and younger siblings, so she takes her lunch and dinner home every day......"

As soon as she heard that Chunhong was going home to eat, Qiu Chen thought of this, but when she really heard the Qingshan family's narrative, she still felt a little ...... Commiseration. Chunhong's current situation reminded her of what she looked like when she first came over, the family couldn't even eat a meal of black flour buns, if it weren't for Lan Ying and the Manchu family at that time, I'm afraid she and the children wouldn't have survived.

However, let her find Qinghe's family back without any guilt, and she also has a psychological disorder. A person who had calculated with her son-in-law that she had betrayed her, and asked her to treat her as before without any barriers, she still couldn't do it.

Or, could she find something else for the Qinghe family to do? It's like a paper bag with three grandmothers paste......

By the way, Huichun Hall now also uses cartons to pack pills and loose medicines, why don't you tell Shopkeeper Chen......

pondered in her heart, and thought of a few ways, but she was secretly denied by herself one by one. zuihou, Qiu Chen threw these away for the time being, and talked to the Qingshan family for a while, and Lan Ying turned back with a smile.

"Okay, most of the pig farmers in the village want to sell it before the year. I heard that our family bought pigs, and they were all happy, so I asked them to go back and talk about it, don't give it to others, keep it for our family...... Oh, begonia, how much can we use in our house, don't set too much, we won't be able to use it when the time comes. ”

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "It's a lot, we can't usually eat, and we don't have the New Year." When the time comes, there are so many of us, and we will have at least four or five pigs for five catties of meat per person! ”

After hearing about the New Year's meat, Lan Ying and the Qingshan family were not surprised, but they still showed a happy face. People who go to work are happiest to pay benefits during the New Year's Festival, which does not distinguish between modern and ancient.

"Then I'm relieved. I'll talk to them again......" Lan Ying said and was about to go out again, but was pulled by Qiu Chen.

"Sister Lan Ying, don't be in a hurry to say it first, do you want to sell your pigs first? Will it be sold here or will it be sold until the end of the year? Qiu Chen smiled and asked, "However, with our family's swill feeding, I think you should feed it for a few more days, how about waiting until the end of the year?" At that time, the price of pigs was also higher! ”

If there is no food to feed the pigs at home, they are naturally in a hurry to sell it. There is the Lin family's swill to feed the pigs, the oil and water are thick, the pigs love to eat and grow fat, and it is not cost-effective to sell them in a hurry, so Qiu Chen said so.

Lan Ying and the Qingshan family looked at each other, and laughed at the same time: "You said so, then we will sell it well!" There is still more than a month to go to the root of the year, and the pig may be able to grow a finger more! ”

At this time, people do not have the habit of eating lean meat, everyone judges the advantages and disadvantages of pork by the thickness of fat, the thicker the fat, the more popular the pork, but the feed of the farmers to feed the pigs is light, the fat of the pork is not thick, only the big pig that has been raised for two years, can grow to the most haode 'four finger fat'.

Qiu Chen gradually got used to this Shijie's value evaluation standard, and said with a smile: "That's good, everyone can share some fat meat back for the New Year, and you can also satisfy the family's hunger!" ”

After leaving Lan Ying and Qingshan's house, Qiu Chen turned back from the East Cross Courtyard, and as soon as he entered the main room in the backyard, he was surprised to see Lin Xianniang sitting in the hall, doing needlework with the Qingjiang family.

A hint of surprise flashed on his face, and then Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Fifth sister, why did you have to come here?" ”

Lin Xianniang had already stood up when she heard the voice, her expression was slightly restrained, and she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I have always wanted to come to talk to you, but I am always afraid that you will be busy, and I will delay your business......"

Do you know she's busy?

Although he was a little disapproving, given that there was Lin Xu between the two, Qiu Chen still smiled and said, "Fifth sister, I will see what I said. Come over whenever you want, no matter if I'm busy or not, it's also haode for you to follow them to do needlework and chat...... Besides, I'm not busy every day, I'm quite idle every afternoon, when you're bored, just come and look for me. ”

Hearing Qiu Chen say this, Lin Xianniang seemed to be secretly relieved, and a layer of sincere joy appeared on her face: "Sister-in-law doesn't think I'm bothering, that sister will come often in the future!" ”

"Come, just come, my sister is here, sister-in-law, I also happen to learn from my sister, how can I be so quiet and graceful......" Saying, Qiu Chen took Lin Xianniang's hand into the inner room and went to the kang, "Come, let's talk on the kang, although there is a fire wall below, it is still not as comfortable as on the kang!" ”

In fact, Qiu Chen is not good at communicating with people, especially a scheming person like Lin Xianniang, and soon, Qiu Chen felt a faint pain in the corner of his forehead.

Fortunately, Qingxing came over from outside the door and reported: "Madam, someone from the front yard said, please come over Madame......"

Qiu Chen's expression tightened, he got up and got off the kang, and greeted the Qingjiang family while wearing his shoes: "You come to talk to Miss Five, I'll go to the front yard to have a look!" ”

He turned his head to Lin Xianniang, who was also thinking about getting up, and said, "Fifth sister, I'll go to the front yard to have a look, don't you always be so polite, sister-in-law is not the same as your own house?" You are here in peace, and I will come to see ......."
