Chapter 208 Inside Story

Qiu Chen smiled and beckoned Qingxing to bring the small porcelain bottle she had treated Erkui's family and handed it to Mr. Zhao.

"This is the medicine I use for my patients, it is a medicinal oil. If it is used urgently, it can be dripped into the patient's mouth, and a dozen breaths can be effective. Qiu Chen said with a smile, seeing Mr. Zhao's expectant gaze and said with a smile, "This bottle of medicinal oil can be given to Mr. Zhao, as for the prescription, I will also find a suitable time to negotiate with the Shaodong family after a period of time, and my Lin family, or hand it over to the Rejuvenation Hall to make it." However, I don't think it's very useful......"

Mr. Zhao unceremoniously interrupted Qiu Chen's words, and said eagerly: "Mrs. Lin's words are wrong, medicine is used to treat diseases and save people, how can it be measured by how much is used and how little is used." Heart palsy is life-threatening, life and death are only a few breaths, if you can get this medicine, you can save countless lives, how can it be compared with ordinary medicines! ”

Qiu Chen glared at Mr. Zhao, and then hahadaxiao got up. Mr. Zhao, who was laughing, also woke up, realized his rudeness, and stood up with a red face to apologize to Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen also got up and bent his knees to return the salute, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao's medical ethics are noble, so I should learn from Mr. Zhao." ”

The two sat down again, Mr. Zhao used the prescription for Erkui's family, Qiu Chen took it and took a look, his own medicinal materials could be grasped, and there was no need to wait to go to the town to grab the medicine. Mr. Zhao still had to go to Huichun Hall for a consultation, so he didn't stay long, chatted with Qiu Chen a few more words, and then left. Qiu Chen sent Mr. Zhao away, went to the warehouse to grab three pairs of medicines, sent them to Erkui's house, personally watched the boiled medicine, brought it in to Erkui's family to drink, watched her complexion ease a lot, and comforted a few words, watching Erkui's family gradually fall asleep under the effect of the medicine, and then turned around and went back to Lin's house.

When I got home, before I entered the second courtyard, I heard a cry, Qiu Chen was in a hurry, and he quickened his pace and walked to the back, and when he crossed the corridor, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell, but fortunately she grabbed the lintel in time to avoid the pain of throwing five bodies to the ground. Standing and gasping for a moment, Qiu Chen hurriedly walked into the second courtyard in the sound of a child's cry.

"Madam, the child doesn't drink goat's milk, what can I do!" Qingxing was at a loss when she hugged Xiao October, and when she saw Qiu Chen walking in, she hurriedly asked for help.

Qiu Chen was stunned, the child doesn't eat goat's milk, she can't help it, she doesn't have milk......

After thinking about it, Qiu Chen remembered that he had heard from Erkui's family that he would eat egg yolk and rice porridge in October...... hurriedly ordered it one after another. It was also just noon, the japonica rice porridge in the big kitchen had been boiled, the spring fragrance passed, and it didn't take long for a small bowl of white rice porridge to be brought on a tray, Qiu Chen hugged October and coaxed slowly, and it was not so painful to cry at this time. Qingxing and Chunxiang took the bowl alone, and the other took a small spoon and scooped up the rice porridge, and blew it to the mouth of the mouth, and the little girl still had tears on her cheeks, but she finally opened her mouth......

Watching the little girl eat a small spoonful of rice porridge, Qiu Chen and the two girls breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe she was hungry, the little girl in October stopped after eating half a small bowl of rice porridge, Qiu Chen picked up October according to the vague impression in her memory, and let her lie on her shoulder and gently pat her back...... It is said that after a child has been breastfeeding, he should be photographed in this way until he burps so that he does not spill milk...... Come to think of it, rice porridge is the same as milk.

Unexpectedly, the October girl was very tired from crying just now, she was full at this time, lying on Qiu Chen's shoulder, she didn't burp at all, she fell asleep almost in a moment, and when Qiu Chen's hands were sore, Qingxing whispered behind her: "Madam, the little sister is asleep!" ”

Qiu Chen took October off his shoulder with a smile, carefully sent the little girl to the kang and put it away, and took a thin quilt to cover it, only then did he feel that his shoulders and arms were sore. It turns out that coaxing children is really a hard job!

"Madame!" Qing Xing let out another low cry.

Qiu Chen glanced at her: "What's the matter, stinging evil, don't wake up the child!" ”

Qing Xing covered her mouth and bent her knees to confess her sin, then stretched out a finger and pointed at Qiu Chen's shoulder, suppressed her voice very low, and said, "Woman's clothes...... Let's change it! ”

Qiu Chen glanced at Qingxing suspiciously, turned to the dressing mirror, and turned his arm to look...... Obediently, the little girl fell asleep and drooled, and her cloud-blue cocoon silk gown added a dark mark on the back of her shoulder...... Or the kind that extends down to the flowing trend!

"Heh......" Qiu Chen shook his head with a wry smile, "This is like a puppy?!" ”

No way, this dress naturally can't be worn.

Qing Xing quickly took a moon-white plain cocoon silk jacket from the closet, Qiu Chen changed it, and went to the ear room to wash his hands and face, so that he could sit down and take a breath.

When she came out, Haruka was spinning around. Qiu Chen asked, it turned out that the gown she had just changed out of was missing.

Chunxiang's face turned red in a hurry, and she bit her lip and whispered: "Madam, the slave is wrong, the slave, the slave is ......."

Qiu Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Chunxiang, who was about to kneel down to ask for sin: "It's in our house, you can't lose it...... Don't have no one to ......."

Having said this, Qiu Chen suddenly remembered a person who was there just now but was ignored by everyone, his eyes turned, and he said urgently: "What about the stone?" ”

As he spoke, he had already walked out quickly, and as he walked, he instructed Qingxing: "You stay and look forward to October!" ”

Qingxing stopped, and when she looked back, she saw that Haruka was completely stunned on the spot, and her face was already white with fright...... If you just lose a piece of clothing, you will be beaten at most, and if you lose your child...... Even if she sells it, she can't compensate for it!

Seeing that the lady was walking out of the door, and Chunxiang was still stupid and didn't move, Qingxing finally couldn't help but raise her hand and stab her, reminding: "Don't go quickly, what's the shock!" ”

Chunxiang shook her head for a moment, and ran out in a panic to chase Qiu Chen, completely losing her usual thoughtfulness and calmness. Such a panicked figure suddenly made Qingxing feel a touch of pity in her heart, and secretly prayed, don't have an accident with the stone!

At this moment, even Qingxing herself didn't notice it, and at some point, her hostility towards Chunxiang faded and disappeared. It turned out that she had always hoped that Chunxiang's conviction would provoke her wife's disgust, so she would be kicked out of the main house by her wife, and it was best to be driven out of the Lin family directly...... At this moment, I actually prayed for Haruka!

Fortunately, this time it was really dangerous, Qiu Chen ran out of the house and found the stone at the second gate, and the little guy was holding the gown that Qiu Chen had just changed, and he wanted to go out of the second courtyard, but was stopped by the Wang family.

As soon as he saw Qiu Chen coming, Wang replied with a smile: "The little brother just took the lady's gown out, which startled me, and when I asked, I found out that it was my sister who stained the lady's clothes, and my brother wanted to take it to wash!" ”

Qiu Chen's eyes widened and he looked at the stone, smiled and reached out to pick up the stone, stroked the stone's still somewhat dark and thin cheek and said, "The stone knows how to be an elder brother, what a good boy!" ”

Seeing the stone blushing and lowering his head, Qiu Chen said again: "However, the stone is still small, and the work of washing clothes can't be done......" Speaking of this, seeing the stone raise his head suddenly, as if he was a little unconvinced, Qiu Chen smiled and said, "However, I want to think about what the stone can do...... Well, you don't need stones to wash your clothes for Aunt Begonia, so how about doing something else? ”

The stone nodded solemnly, stretched out a small hand, and said, "The stone can sweep the floor, take firewood, and make fire...... You can also hold chopsticks and bowls! ”

"Oh, the stone can do so much!" Qiu Chen expressed his surprise exaggeratedly, then thought for a moment and nodded, "Then let the stone take the chopsticks." Now that it was almost time to eat, Shi went to the kitchen to bring the chopsticks, and then set the chopsticks according to the head...... Just wash your clothes as if you were a stone, okay? ”

Shi showed a smile, nodded and slipped down from Qiu Chen's arms, and ran to the kitchen to get chopsticks to pay off the debt!

Qiu Chen turned around and looked at Chunxiang, who was still pale, raised his eyebrows, and ordered, "You go and watch some, don't stumble." ”

Chunxiang didn't make a mistake this time, and bent her knees and chased after the small back of the stone.

Qiu Chen said a few more words to Wang, took his gown and turned back to the house.

Pinching the hour, Qiu Chen sent Chunxiang to wait at the gate of the school with the stones, and when the children got out of school, he called Shanzi to Lin's house as well. Shanzi heard that his mother was sick, and insisted on going home to see it first, and saw that his mother was sleeping peacefully, and Aunt Lan Ying and Aunt Haitang's sister were guarding, so he relieved himself and went back to Lin's house for dinner.

When the children went to school after eating, Qiu Chen patted the children and took a nap with Liu, and Liu sighed: "The two children of the Erkui family are well taught!" These two have survived the past few years, the children are older, and some of them are happy to enjoy! ”

Qiu Chen also sighed with emotion: "Yes, it is said that the first thirty years look at the father and respect the son, and the second thirty years look at the son and respect the father, the two children of the Erkui family have a future, and the two sons of the Erkui family are blessed!" ”

It has been two days since the eldest brother asked him to go to Deqing Building that day, Lin Xu has always been a little distracted in the past two days, and he was named twice by Master Guo during class, so he restrained his emotions and listened attentively. However, as soon as I got out of class, I was distracted again.

was brought up by his eldest brother since he was a child, and the feeling of relying on and trusting his father, which is close to it, has been deeply engraved in his bones. The eldest brother said that day with sincerity, and the distress and sadness when he couldn't go home deeply hurt Lin Xu's eyes and heart. Moreover, in his own heart, he also hopes that his brother and sister-in-law can be reunited, just as the eldest brother said, the family gets together and lives happily and happily, just like before the eldest brother left home!

But whenever he thought so, his sister-in-law's advice seemed to echo in his ears. The sister-in-law said that not recognizing the eldest brother is for the future of the eldest brother, and also to prevent the eldest brother from being convicted in the name of deception...... And the vixen-like woman in the eldest brother's house...... really let his sister-in-law accept that kind of life, and he felt a little unbearable! In that case, I was too wronged by my sister-in-law......

Lin Xu hesitated so much, his mind didn't belong to ...... Yu Liang is a small servant, he follows Lin Xu every day, and several times Master Guo blames him, making him secretly anxious. The second master is about to enter the provincial capital to take the exam, and if he continues like this, where can he still get good results!

The others were small-spoken, knowing that what they said was useless, and there was nothing they could do, so they took a moment to find Daxing, and quietly told Daxing about Lin Xu's abnormality. Daxing had already noticed it before, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Therefore, after listening to Yuliang's report, Daxing quickly decided to send someone to send a letter back to his wife. With the lady coming forward, the second master's affairs are solved or not, and he can always have a heart, so that the second master can rest assured and study hard, which is the most important thing.

"You're doing a good job this time...... You'll go back quickly, be careful, and remember to come to me if you have any more trouble! Daxing praised Yuliang and sent him back. Without stopping for a moment, he immediately let Shunzi ride his horse and run to Liujiaao.

Qiu Chen slept for ten months, handed it over to Liu, cleaned up a little, and took Qingxing to Cunzheng's house.

Liu Yugui had already heard about the morning's incident and was thinking about what to do. This kind of quarrel within the family, especially the mother's partiality and bullying of the child, most of the neighbors cheered and persuaded a few words, and no one really made a big deal about these things. It's just that the affairs of the Erkui family have touched the Lin family...... Liu Yu is a noble man, he once suspected that the Erkui family proposed to divide the family, and now the Lin family's lady spares no effort to help the Erkui family, which can't help but remind him of the division at that time, it seems that it was also in the Lin family, which led to the reason for the separation......

Qiu Chen's arrival, Liu Yugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The lady of the Lin family is going to express her attitude when she comes, and if the Lin family has an attitude, this matter will be easy to handle. It's not a big deal to get the big Kui couple and the big Kui father and mother out the most. Da Kui Niang has really done too much......

As a result, Lin Niangzi didn't mention the matter of Erkui when she came to the door, but just came to visit Liu Yugui, and told Liu Yugui that she had sent Brother Quan to the capital, and also sent Liu Yugui a letter from Brother Quan.

After talking for a long time, Liu Yugui didn't know the bottom of his heart, and said tentatively: "Noon, Erkui, what is going on with Erkui's daughter-in-law?" I heard that she was sick and scared, and your aunt was going to see me......"

Qiu Chen frowned, sighed and said, "Heart paralysis!" Once this disease is obtained, it will not be able to make it stronger, and it will not be able to move, and if one does not pay attention, it will be tired and angry, and maybe the kung fu person will be gone in the blink of an eye...... Alas, the Erkui family is less than thirty, and the three children are still so young, if there is really a three-long and two-short, alas......"

Qiu Chen said, sighing again and again.

Liu Yugui wiped the old eyes that seemed to be dim, but he was still a little unsinkable, and snorted angrily: "Da Kui Niang's old woman is a fool, Erkui and his wife are diligent, sensible, and filial, why can't they look down on it, do they have to take care of the big kui and the two who are not successful?" Alas, it's not a kiss, this heart just can't do it! ”

Qiu Chen was really attracted by his words and looked at him suspiciously. The conditions of the Erkui family, the second Kui's father once took a concubine and had children? Immediately, she overturned this idea herself. If Erkui's father really once took a concubine, it is impossible for the people in the village not to know.

Liu Yugui sighed and said, "Speaking of which, there is a reason here, but few people know it...... Qiaozi, oh, it's Erkui's father who had a younger sister back then, who forked the road for a while and gave birth to Erkui, and the child jumped into the river and died when he was born. It just so happened that Erkuiniang's child was a stillborn baby just one day away, and a few of our old men discussed, how could this be a personality life, so Erkui fell under Erkuiniang's name...... It is said that biological relatives are not as good as adoptive relatives, and Erkui can be regarded as the second Kui Niang, how can he be biased like this...... Now it seems that it is better to find a good family to send it out! Alas! ”

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then relieved.

It's no wonder that Erkui Niang can do this to Erkui, Erkui's father is actually a good, old and simple dealer, but it always makes people feel wrong about Erkui, as if he owes Erkui Niang something, and there is some inaction...... As soon as Liu Yugui said this, everything was explained very well.

Qiu Chen didn't say what to do with Erkuiniang, so he resigned from Liu Yugui and went home. Erkui is not his own child, this matter is very important, and she knows that she can't tell Erkui. The two of them are wronged, so let's live a good life in the future.

If so, the farce of Erkui's family seems to have never happened, and it is silent again. The only difference is that Erkuiniang doesn't know if she is afraid, or if she is pinched and swollen and her mouth is not easy to see, and then she shrinks into the house and doesn't even go out of the door, but it is rare to be quiet.

That night, Er Kui came to Lin's house and signed the deed of the two of them. Qiu Chen didn't let the children sign it, and also told Erkui not to make a noise, only saying that he would send them to Fucheng when Erkui's family was better when they were better. When Erkui reached this point, he had already made up his mind, and if he didn't agree, he would come down in one bite. Because the Erkui family was worried about October, and the child was too young, they took October back at night.

The next day, Qiu Chen sent the children to school and went to Erkui's house to take a look, Erkui's family had already gone to the ground, although his face was still a little pale and his breath was a little short, but it was much better than yesterday. Qiu Chen still left Yufeng here to accompany her, help her take care of the children, and told her not to be tired or think too much, so she said goodbye and came back. Qingjiang had already set up the car, and Qiu Chen followed Man Ho to Zhuangzi.

There were several heavy snowfalls this winter, and there was no shortage of water in the field. The Lin family prepared enough manure for each family, and the wheat seedlings were green and black, and they kept praising them, and even said that as long as there were no natural disasters during the wheat harvest season, this year's wheat would be a big harvest year.

Qiu Chen turned around and took a fancy to a piece of land near the canal. There are about ten acres of land, and wheat is also planted today. Mai Miao'er looks slightly better than elsewhere. The tenant farmers of this land also happened to be hoeing in the field, Qiu Chen stepped forward to talk a few words, the family was honest and dutiful, and they were very careful about the fields, so they decided on this land in their hearts.

When she came back from the Zhuangzi, she had just washed up for a while, and Shunzi actually hurried back.

Qiu Chen's heart skipped a beat as soon as he received the letter, and he hurriedly greeted him. When Shunzi drank a cup of tea, he was able to breathe evenly, and when he talked about Lin Xu's matter, Qiu Chen's face suddenly darkened.

She was afraid of Lin Xu's feelings, and also worried about the other party's situation, and repeatedly tolerated it, but the more she endured it, the more she bullied it--this is not endless!

After sitting with a calm face for a moment, Qiu Chen waved his hand and said to Shunzi: "Hurry all the way, you are also tired, go down and rest first." Ming'er, I'll go back to Fucheng with you! ”

Shunzi agreed, and said suddenly: "Madam, there is one more thing, Lao He came back two days ago." This time, even the family brought it, and brought a boatload of lotus root seeds, I heard that there are some water chestnuts, water chestnuts, chicken head rice or something, I heard that almost half of the Nanmar Lake can be planted! ”

As soon as he heard this letter, Qiu Chen immediately rejoiced: "Oh? Lao He is back...... Fortunately, it's okay, but I have to rush to come, and if I don't come again, I will miss the season! ”

Junzi also smiled and joked: "No, Lao He himself is also anxious, so he didn't even go to the mansion, and directly let Songta go to Nanmarsh Lake." It is estimated that at this time, the lotus root of Nannuma Lake has been planted! ”

"Well, okay, just plant it. Plant it now, and we will be able to harvest a season of lotus root this autumn......" Qiu Chen smiled and churned.

This good news is so satisfying that it has washed away a lot of worries and diaphragms just now.

"Well, not only do you harvest lotus roots, Lao He also said that you can also collect the lotus flowers, and he said that he also brought some lotus root seeds to harvest lotus seeds...... Hehe, the little ones don't understand this, they're all muddy, and I can't see the difference between harvesting lotus roots and harvesting lotus flowers......" Junko scratched her head and said with a smile.

Qiu Chen looked at him amusedly, and also nodded, "I don't understand either." However, it doesn't matter if we understand it or not, with Lao He, we don't have to worry about the bad lotus root, when the time comes, let's wait for the lotus root to be harvested! ”

Junko smiled and agreed, and retired.

Qiu Chen sat on the chair, his face gloomy again. This Hu Yanxun actually didn't care that Lin Xu was about to take the exam, and went to Lin Xu to talk about things at this time, did he think Lin Xu was too good at learning?

After calming down, Qiu Chen turned back to the backyard and asked Liu to tell Lao He about moving his family over. The Liu family was naturally happy when they heard this, and heard that Qiu Chen was going to Fucheng, and he no longer lived in Liu's house, but also went home. Only the old man and the second daughter-in-law in the family took Junli, seeing that the spring was about to be harvested again, she was really worried when she was not at home.

Qiu Chen didn't stay any longer, but ordered to go down that night and pack her luggage for Liu.

Ah Fu Aman knew that his mother and grandmother were leaving, and he was a little unhappy. Ah Fu was next to Qiu Chen, but he didn't cry or make trouble, but he looked extremely aggrieved; Aman's little girl turned into an octopus directly, lying in Qiu Chen's arms and not letting go, but she was also very quiet, not crying or making trouble, nor making any requests, but the silent expression of the two children made people look at the sour soft water, Qiu Chen hugged the two children, thought about it, and said the plan: "You go to school and do your homework at home, I discussed it with your husband, in a few days, at the end of the month, you will be tested for your homework, if you learn your homework well, I will give you a holiday, and when the time comes, my mother will take you to the boat!" ”

With this promise, the children finally loosened a little, Zuihou Aman asked again and again, and it was confirmed, so he hurriedly pulled his brother to read and write.

After appeasing the children, Qiu Chen went to Erkui's house. After discussing it with Erkui and his family, let Erkui's family recuperate for half a month, and recover well.

As he spoke, he talked about Erkui's house again.

Erkui said, "This house has just been built, and if it is empty, it will soon fall into disrepair......

The Erkui family also sighed, and the new house that was finally built, and he didn't live in it for a few days, so he was really reluctant. "If there is someone to live in, it would be good to help take care of ......"

Qiu Chen's heart moved slightly: "The house of the Manchu family is not spacious, why don't you ask him...... Even if they don't move here, and leave it to them to take care of, it will certainly not be wasted! ”
