Chapter 33 Reasons
Aunt Chen saw Pei Yao rushing into the house with Jiajia on her back, her whole body was wet, Jiajia was still motionless, so frightened that Aunt Chen froze, and only reacted after a while: "Ah! What's going on here? What's wrong? After speaking, his lips turned white, his hands trembled and his legs were weak, and he reached out to pick up Jiajia.
Pei Yao saw that Aunt Chen took the handle, so she lifted half of the mattress from the side of the bed, and the two slowly put Jiajia on the bed, Pei Yao breathed a sigh of relief before panting and said: "Aunt Jiajia is fine, but she fainted, you change her clothes first." ”
Aunt Chen was stunned now, and when she gave a command, she turned around to find clothes. Pei Yao continued: "I went upstream of the river to look at the way home, I heard Jiajia scream and ran back, and when I saw Jiajia fall into the river, I rescued her, and she just fainted a little bit. ”
Seeing Aunt Chen's worried look, she could only explain to her lightly: "How did she fall down, she has to wake up and ask again." ”
Aunt Chen heard her explanation and put down her snacks, found out the clothes and was about to change them for Jiajia, to see that the men's clothes on Pei Yao's body were still wet, so she found out her son's clothes when she was 13 years old before the conscription, and she didn't care about missing her son anymore, she felt that Pei Yao should be about the same age, so she turned around and handed it to Pei Yao and said, "Xiao Yao, you wear this first, this is my son's clothes." ”
Pei Yao looked at the coarse cloth shirt with two or three patches in her hand, and sighed a little that she hadn't worn clothes with patches for a long time.
Looking at the clothes that are a little old but clean and tidy, not like they have been left there for two years without touching, it proves that it has been dried and cared for by the owner frequently.
Pei Yao went to the bedside again and took a piece of cheesecloth for quilting, hid behind the closed door and changed all the clothes on her upper body, took off the wet clothes and hung them on the stool by the door, folded it horizontally with the cheesecloth she had just taken, surrounded her chest, and finally put on Jiajia's brother's coat.
In fact, if Pei Yao didn't dress up as a man, she couldn't stand the feeling of vacuum, just like in this era, women generally wear a belly pocket, and some are too lazy to wear a belly pocket, the feeling of walking and swaying is really ecstatic!
Although she is not that scale, anyway, if she doesn't wear anything inside, she resolutely refuses to go out!
Pei Yao only changed her top, and her pants were dry when she was ready.
"Auntie, do you want to go to the doctor?" Pei Yao said.
The aunt was also worried and asked her to find it, but she didn't expect Jiajia, who was passively moving to change clothes, woke up, and the two of them surrounded her when they saw that she was awake.
Jiajia may have water in her lungs, and she woke up with a cough, Aunt Chen helped her to lie on the side of the bed and patted her on the back to make her cough up water. Seeing the child's uncomfortable appearance, Aunt Chen's eyes were red.
Seeing that Jiajia didn't cough, help her lie down with her head out of the bed, and wipe her hair with a cloth towel.
Pei Yao looked at the picture of the deep love between mother and daughter, and saw that no one paid attention to her, so she didn't wait for instructions, so she said hello and turned around to cook ginger soup in the stove room.
Entering the side of the stove room, as soon as I entered the door, I saw a low pot stove with a lid, and a shelf placed next to the stove, the shelf was a little spice and chopsticks, and then there were a few small jars, and there was nothing else in the stove room.
Pei Yao looked for it, found a piece of ginger on the shelf, opened the lid of the pot, and saw that the inside of the pot was empty, only a small bowl with a black flour steamed bun, sitting in the middle of the pot.
Take out the steamed buns and take water from the small water tank next to it to brush the pot, fill about a few bowls of water into it, cover the pot, bring a small bundle of firewood and grass erected by the door and put it in front of the stove, and use the fire fold to bring the fire to boil the water.
It didn't take a while, the water vapor came out, Pei Yao cut a handful of ginger shreds and sprinkled them into the water and stirred well, but she didn't put sugar if she didn't find it.
I set up a firewood, let the embers in the fire burn for a while, then washed the dishes, put on a bowl and frowned and drank it first, after all, she was still wearing these wet pants.
Pei Yao carried the remaining bowl of ginger water into the bedroom, and Aunt Chen was a little embarrassed to see that she brought in the ginger water herself, how could this make the guests work, Pei Yao waved her hand and did nothing.
Jiajia got up and drank the hot ginger water, coughed a few more times before she felt more comfortable, and cried in a dumb voice: "It was the lobby sister of the second aunt's family, Huancui, who pushed me, she said that our family eats inside and out, and if there is delicious food, it will not be handed over to the upper room, cough I retorted that it was not our moving west, she said Who are you lying to, so she pushed me." I'm so scared, the water doesn't go over my head, I choked on several mouthfuls of water, my nose and chest hurt so much."
Listening to Xiao Jiajia's crying, Aunt Chen also cried, hugged Jiajia and patted her back to comfort her that she was not afraid, and finally Jiajia fell asleep with a sob, and choked a few times from time to time when she fell asleep, it seemed that she was really scared.
Seeing that she was asleep, Aunt Chen stood up and said to Pei Yao: "Xiao Yao, you go back first, Aunt Thank you for saving Jiajia, she is my lifeblood now, if it weren't for you, thanks to you, Aunt will definitely find a way to repay you." ”
Pei Yao waved her hand to prevent Aunt Chen from continuing, and said: "Where, this is what I should do, seeing that she is in danger, I will still be able to water, of course I will be saved, don't say that I will not repay or not, I will be a good sister when Jiajia is a good sister." ”
"I know you're a good boy, okay, let's not talk about this, you take the quilt back first, the thin quilt is also ready, you go back and pass by the bazaar and ask the old doctor of the pharmacy to come over, you just say that Chen Xiucai's house will know." Aunt Chen instructed.
Pei Yao said: "I don't have anything to do without me staying to help?" ”
"No, Jiajia is awake, just let the doctor take a look, just prescribe some scare medicine for her to drink, you are still wet and go back to change early, do you want the doctor to show you if there is anything wrong?" Aunt Chen suddenly thought.
"I'm fine, that's good, my aunt doesn't need me, I'll go back, this is a tael of silver, the handwork and materials are counted, I don't know if it's enough, if it's not enough, I'll make up for it."
Aunt Chen waved her hand in surprise and said: "You don't need so much, where do you use a tael of silver, you don't need so much money for all your materials, and you don't need much money for handiwork, so you don't need so much!" Aunt Chen refused again and again.
"Auntie, you take it, you use it first, if you have an extra one, use it first, if you don't have to pay it back in the future, it's urgent, Jiajia's body is important. I thought of this, her second aunt shouldn't come over, you give Jiajia pheasants and red dates to make soup, I'll go back first. Pei Yao said.
As soon as Aunt Chen mentioned that it was for Jiajia, she would not refuse Pei Yao's kindness, and she would not delay Jiajia if she repaid the money in the future.
Tie up Pei Yao's things, pour out the jujube basket and put wet clothes on it and hand it to her: "Good boy, that aunt won't be polite to you first, if it's enough, I'll pay you back the extra next time." ”
Pei Yao didn't waste time, said goodbye to Aunt Chen, took her things to the pharmacy and called a doctor, bought nails and hammers at the market and went straight home.
