Chapter 69: Separation (1)

Chen Xiucai woke up, his body was very weak, and it was a big expense to grab medicine and supplements.

Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang gave a bag of silver, but Li declined, and the Han family and Master Qin also gave money and Li declined.

After Chen Xiucai's unwarranted disaster, Chen Xuejiao suddenly found that the Li family, who usually had a little bun, was a little different from before.

"Life has to go on, and you can't rely on others to help you." Every time the Li clan refused the silver of Master Qin and the others, he would say this.

She was no longer sad, she didn't shed tears anymore, she took care of Chen Xiucai properly every day, and urged Chen Qi'an to study. In order to make up for Chen Xiucai's body, she calmly used the eggs at home to go in and out to leave Mrs. Chen's beating behind.

Chen Xuejiao found that Li's back was also straight.

Chen Xiucai's body and bones need to be raised, and after a two-day vacation in the private school, Master Qin is personally responsible for teaching. Several families heard that Chen Xiucai was hacked and killed by thieves in the private school, so they were so frightened that their children switched to the private school, and the parents of the other children moved bricks and stones to make the wall of the private school higher.

Hearing that Master Qin taught in person, Chen Xiucai smiled with relief, not to mention Baitu Town, even if it was Xuzhou Mansion, few people knew that Master Qin was the emperor back then, and it was really frustrating for him to be able to teach rural children to read. Chen Xiucai's body was weak, so he could only drink some rice porridge and soup to replenish his body.

The prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Zhu was ginseng, and Chen Xuejiao took out the ten taels of silver she had accumulated, and grabbed all the ginseng tablets for Chen Xiucai at the pharmacy in the town. After Master Qin heard about it, he specially asked Sister-in-law Jia to send a century-old ginseng, because Chen Xiucai needed this, and Li accepted it without refusing to Xie.

Grandma Xianglian sent an old hen, and Li knew that the eggs laid by this old hen were used to sell, which was the hope of Xianglian's family. Li was reluctant to ask for it. Unexpectedly, Grandma Xianglian actually killed the chicken and sent it over.

Mrs. Chen scolded secretly in the house: "The old immortal, a chicken is still sent over." ”

Chen Xuejiao often boiled ginseng and chicken soup for beauty in her previous life, and it was the first time she had seen the century-old ginseng sent by Jia's sister-in-law. So she cooked. Boiled ginseng chicken soup for Chen Xiucai.

She squatted in the yard to wash the ginseng, and after washing it, she slipped the ginseng. Wash the green onions, garlic and ginger and shred them one by one. The hen sent by Grandma Xianglian is an old hen of more than two years, fat and big, Chen Xuejiao removed the internal organs and melon tips of this fat hen, washed the blood inside, cut half of it and chopped it into pieces for boiling soup, and the remaining half was salted and boiled next time.

Mrs. Chen sat in the courtyard, her eyes fixed on the chicken pen. In the past two days, the Li family has become less and less interested in her. Every day, she took the first egg laid by the chicken and gave it to the boss to eat, and she was very unhappy.

Chen Xuejiao washed the ginseng just now, and she didn't look at herself, she hadn't eaten ginseng after living for such an old age, but you ate it a little bit.

Chen Xuejiao knew what Mrs. Chen was thinking, and she didn't have the time to care. After cleaning the ginseng and chicken, Xuejiao carried the vegetable pot into the pot house, and Chen Xueru was burning the fire. After the water boiled, Chen Xuejiao poured the chicken pieces into the boiling water and boiled them, pulled them up with a claw grate and put them on the grate to control the blood water. Bring the pot directly to the heat. Pour the chicken pieces into the pot, add half a pot of water, bring to a boil and skim off the foam. Add the ginseng slices, simmer over low heat until the chicken is crispy, add shredded green onions, shredded ginger, stir well, add salt, and serve it in a bowl into the north wing.

"This dead girl, she doesn't even look at me, whether she is carrying a golden egg or a silver egg." Mrs. Chen thought indignantly.

The chickens in the chicken pen "clucked" and flew to the fence with their wings, and Mrs. Chen pulled her throat and ordered Erdan to pick up the eggs, "...... I'm so old. I didn't say that you would eat one egg a day. Why can't Emperor Lao Tzu eat my eggs, is it easy for me to raise a few chickens at such an age? You have ruined all the eggs one by one. ”

Old Madam Chen's voice sounded in the courtyard. This was obviously said to Dafang.

Li and a few children were silent in the house, blindly persuading Chen Xiucai to drink soup.

"This ginseng soup is the best way to replenish the body." Li said as he blew on the soup.

Chen Xiucai took a sip and groaned slightly: "Send a bowl to my father." ”

Li and a few children didn't seem to hear it, and Chen Xiucai's expression darkened.

Chen Xuejiao knew Chen Xiucai's thoughts. He woke up and heard Chen Wenying say that Old Man Chen had kept him all night, holding his hand and crying. This incident made Chen Xiucai have complicated feelings for Old Man Chen, in the past, Old Man Chen was indifferent to Chen Xiucai, but between life and death, he showed his true temperament, which made Chen Xiucai feel ashamed and warm, so he wanted to honor him when he had good things.

"I boiled a bowl of soup, and next time I boiled a little more and sent it to my parents." Li Shi relieved Chen Xiucai.

In the past two days, the Chen family's meals were unconsciously eaten separately.

Because the Li family had to take care of Chen Xiucai with his feet on the ground, he had no time to cook, and the task of cooking fell on the heads of the other rooms. After some hard work by Mrs. Chen, Zhao put down her body and spent a thousand times more effort than usual to please Mrs. Chen, and after her clever mouth, she is now promoted to a first-class celebrity next to Mrs. Chen, and she naturally doesn't have to cook with Mrs. Chen's golden bell jar.

Cai barely supported himself to cook a meal, his tired feet were swollen, and the task of cooking fell on Zhang's head.

Zhang's cooking is unpalatable, she doesn't pay attention to hygiene, she often mixes noodles without washing her hands, and the angry Mrs. Chen guards the pot house and stares at Zhang as soon as she arrives at the meal.

Li opened a small stove for Chen Xiucai. Because the rice in the upper room couldn't be swallowed, Li felt sorry for several children, so he took the opportunity of Chen Xiucai's small stove to often fry the remaining chicken fat pumpkin, beans, and radishes for a few children to eat. Li is usually a good worker in the family, not only cooking, but also feeding chickens, pigs, cleaning, and even going to the field. In order to take care of Chen Xiucai, the guys in the family were thrown down, and they had already caused dissatisfaction in all rooms.

The chicken in the coop laid another egg, and the second egg jumped in and picked it up and handed it to Mrs. Chen.

Zhang smelled the fragrance of ginseng chicken soup and walked out of the south wing, sniffed and said: "Such a fragrant smell, sister-in-law is really good, and she usually cooks is not so fragrant. ”

It just so happened that Chen Xuejiao took the empty bowl of soup that Chen Xiucai had drunk and sent it to the pot house, and passed by Zhang's side and ignored her. Zhang followed Chen Xuejiao and entered the pot house, turning left and right.

Chen Xuejiao knew that she was looking for something to eat, so she put away the half chicken just now.

"Xue Jiao. You see you're stingy, can I eat your chicken raw? Everyone is a family, why don't you cook more. I didn't eat enough in the morning, and there was no leftover soup for me. Zhang opened the door to the closet.

Chen Xuejiao rolled her eyes: "Fourth aunt." Where did I get the chicken, this chicken is still made up for my father by the second grandmother. Our family is the milk master, you want to eat to find milk, where did my little child get food for you. ”

"Is that ginseng soup delicious, I heard that ginseng soup will live forever after drinking it, your father didn't die after bleeding so much, I heard that it was a bowl of ginseng soup that day that worked." Zhang was robbed by Chen Xuejiao, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

Chen Xuejiao heard this. I was extremely angry in my heart, obviously looking forward to Chen Xiucai's death.

"You want to drink ginseng soup, and you also bleed so much, the fourth uncle is willing to buy it for you." Chen Xuejiao shot back unceremoniously.

Zhang didn't say anything, turned around and walked out. Chen Xuejiao watched her walk towards the north wing, and quickly chased her in front of her and stopped her: "Lang Zhong said that my father needs to recuperate and can't see people." ”

"I'm just looking." Zhang muttered.

Zhang's ate the head of Chen Xuejiao's place, and she didn't dare to have a seizure in her heart, and during this period of time, she saw Chen Xuejiao's sharp teeth fighting the old lady Chen fighting Zhao. She was a little afraid to mess with. I saw Mrs. Chen sitting in the courtyard, holding two eggs in her hand, and flattered her.

"Mother. I can't eat enough these days, I don't have any strength at all, and the head of our house also says that I am dizzy when I work in the field, all because I haven't eaten enough. Zhang grinned.

"Not full? It's not that the food you cook makes people can't eat it, and you still have the face to talk about you. Mrs. Chen looked at Zhang with disdain, "What's the matter, I went to beg for ginseng soup to drink just now, and you can see if you are qualified to drink it, but you are a talent." What are you, you still want to drink ginseng soup. ”

Mrs. Chen used the topic to play. Blame Dafang for swallowing the ginseng alone.

"I'm not qualified to drink that ginseng soup, mother. Mother, you're a talented mother, why haven't you drunk? Zhang was scolded by Mrs. Chen and couldn't help but fight back.

Zhang's heart is also angry, what's wrong with the eldest brother is Xiucai, Xiucai is a gold ingot? was injured, and his sister-in-law gave his care to a Wenqu star, and the cooking fell on his head, and he ate Mrs. Chen somewhat in the past two days.

Thinking of this, Zhang's added a fire: "Xiucai is different from our villagers, the second brother didn't say that he ate ginseng when he was injured, how much does ginseng cost?" He can't get hurt and empty out our family. ”

Zhang said as he aimed his eyes at the north wing.

Zhang's voice was loud, and Chen Xuejiao and the others listened really well in the room.

"Your fourth aunt has such a temper, she can't hold her words in her heart, she just talks about it." The Li family is not deliberately provoking the Zhang family and can still remain lenient, saying this is just to comfort Chen Xiucai and a few children.

Chen Xiucai's body is empty, but he can't be in trouble.

Li thought so, but Mrs. Chen didn't, Zhang's words just hit the old lady's appetite.

"The first one in this family is not worrying, how can the people in the township be so delicate, what ginseng to eat, they are not afraid of being delicate and making up for death." Mrs. Chen said it casually.

These words are a curse to Chen Xiucai.

Chen Xuejiao wanted to rush out to theorize, the expenses of the whole family, which item was not the money that Chen Xiucai got from sitting in the restaurant, not to mention that he was injured and ate some ginseng, but if he was not injured, he wanted to eat some ginseng.

Chen Xiucai was injured herself, and Mrs. Chen did not come to visit in the house, let alone bring up one.

Chen Xueru and Jing Hao grabbed Chen Xuejiao.

"What's the noise?" Old Man Chen came back from the ground, listened through the door for a while, and walked in with a gloomy face to reprimand, "The boss has a broken bone, it is appropriate to eat something good, and ginseng is not bought with money from the public." The second child was injured at the time, what was he hurting for, and he was not ashamed to panic when he said this. ”

Seeing that Old Man Chen was starting to face the big house, Zhang felt uncomfortable and muttered in a low voice: "Who knows why the boss was injured, there are so many people in the private school, why do you kill him." ”

Zhao listened to Zhang's words in the upper room, and his heart was a lot more relieved, and this Zhang finally said something to his own thoughts.

It seems that in the future, we will make good use of the four-room family and deal with the big house together.

Hearing Old Man Chen say the second child, Mrs. Chen was unhappy, and then Zhang's words slipped down: "The eldest is your son, and the second child jumped out of the crack in the stone?" You've got a bias in your armpit. ”

Old Man Chen glared at Mrs. Chen fiercely, put down the hoe, and walked into the north wing to see Chen Xiucai.

I heard that last night, there was a quarrel in the upper room, and the old man Chen felt sorry for his eldest son and asked the old lady Chen for money to grab the medicine, and was ridiculed by the old lady Chen, and the angry old man Chen ran to the waste kang outside to sleep, plus the food cooked by the Zhang family in the past two days could not be swallowed, and the old man Chen went to the ground with an empty stomach, and his face was thin.

Chen Xiucai couldn't bear to see his father like this, and threw the resentment of Chen Wenxiu's death against Old Man Chen out of the clouds, and his father also had his own last resort.

"Xue Jiao is going to bring you a bowl of chicken soup." Chen Xiucai moved his mouth and said with difficulty.

Chen Xuejiao looked at Old Man Chen and knew that she could only follow Chen Xiucai's meaning at this time. Chen Xuejiao complained before that Old Man Chen was restrained by Old Madam Chen everywhere and became an accomplice in bullying the big house, but this time Chen Xiucai was injured, and he showed that it would be more painful than Chen Zichang's injury, and Chen Xuejiao's dissatisfaction with Old Man Chen gradually weakened.

Chen Xiucai had to take medicine from time to time, and there was a stove hanging in the house, and the leftover bowl of ginseng chicken soup was hung on the stove, and Chen Xuejiao served a bowl to Old Man Chen.

Old man Chen has mixed tastes in his heart, and in the end, his eldest son cherishes him, so he has some pity for Chen Xiucai's family.

Is it to divide the eldest family, so that they will live better. A thought flashed through Old Man Chen's heart. (To be continued)
