In the yard, a tree of pink and bright peach blossoms has fallen, and a fluffy green peach the size of a fingernail is hidden among the green branches and green leaves.

Chen Qiping followed Chen Qi'an to study under the peach tree every day, and the sound of reading spread throughout the courtyard. It was a noise in Mrs. Chen's ears, and the warmer the day, the more she missed Qi Lin, who was studying at the White Horse Academy.

I took a bite of the pimple soup brought by the Zhang family in my mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into my stomach, and it was not a good word when I made a sound: "The boss hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid the ship has sunk." ”

cursed Chen Xiucai again and again, and pointed to Chen Qi'an, who was reading under the tree, and said: "It's useless to read, I can't be on the red list in the autumn of this year." ”

The sunlight fell from the gap between the peach branches and sprinkled on Chen Qi'an's upright figure. He didn't care, and continued to study in circles, after the beginning of spring, Chen Qi'an's body suddenly became taller, wearing a simple cyan shirt, holding a book in his slender hand, and his focus was very chic.

Mrs. Chen stared at it for a while, her eyes burned. Since the second room and her family were taken to live in the city by Xueyao, Mrs. Chen has lost her soul, and her temper has become worse and worse, and she either beats chickens or scolds dogs all day long. The big room and the third room were separated, so naturally they didn't come forward, the fourth room was not separated, and they all relied on Mrs. Chen for eating and drinking.

The Zhang family has no Zhao family as the backbone, just like a yellow eel that has lost its bones, drilling around. She is a thick-skinned person, and she doesn't know if she really forgot or faked the dirty things she did, she was scolded by her mother-in-law a few times, and she actually got into the big room and pulled Li to complain, and she couldn't get rid of it, but she also took advantage of the meal, and every time she didn't wait for someone to greet her, she picked up the chopsticks and started eating. The chopsticks are like eyes, and they are specially eaten with meat dishes. Li's face was tender, and he was embarrassed to drive her out, and he was embarrassed not to let her eat.

Chen Xuejiao couldn't get used to her actions, and she also took advantage of the meal in the upper room to take Qi Ping in, pick up the chopsticks and eat. Old Man Chen was happy to only think that it was a child who came to give the old man incense, but Mrs. Chen was unwilling. Cooking in the room is all about people. I can't do a little more, the two children come to pull two big bowls of rice, and the others eat what.

"The fourth aunt always said that our family's food was delicious. I don't think it's a good meal compared to milk. In the future, the fourth aunt went to our house to eat every day, and my brother and I came to the room every day to eat. Chen Xuejiao chewed wild mushroom stewed tender chicken in her mouth, and a string of oil foam flowed from the corner of her mouth. The eyes continued to be fixed on the largest piece in the bowl.

Since Zhao went to the city, the work of cooking in the room fell into the hands of Zhang. Zhao's food is not delicious. It's so clean, how can you bear this Zhang not only does it not taste good, but it can't be guaranteed to be clean. Mrs. Chen ate the gnocchi in the clear soup for three days until she fished out a black bug. angrily threw the bowl and called Zhang to scold, and personally put it into the pot house.

Mrs. Chen has a hand in cooking, if she is serious. Li's may not be comparable, and Mrs. Chen is reluctant to put oil and seasonings. Therefore, the food prepared is inevitably bland and tasteless.

The half-plate of mushroom chicken on the table today is tender and delicious, and it was when Wen Yan came to the house yesterday, and Mrs. Chen naturally put in a lot of effort. Wrapped in starch and too much oil and water, the pine branches of the big branches were boiled thoroughly, and the spicy seeds, vegetable oil, star anise, and large ingredients were stewed for a day before they entered the taste.

Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qiping ate mouths full of oil, when Chen Xuejiao stretched out her chopsticks to clip the largest piece of chicken, Mrs. Chen pulled her face and put down the chopsticks, looked at Xuejiao gloomily, and the words full of words swirled in her throat, touched the eyes of Old Man Chen, and swallowed it into her stomach.

After thinking about it, I couldn't swallow this breath, knowing that it was because of Zhang's daily begging for bargains in the big house, in front of Xuejiao, he called Zhang's to him and scolded him fiercely. Zhang's three sons sat at the dinner table for a while, and saw that their mother was being disciplined and did not dare to come out, and the second and third eggs were young and had nothing to do with the people who seemed to continue to fight for a piece of meat in the bowl.

Zhang was reprimanded by Mrs. Chen, and since then he has been honest for a few days, and he has gone to the North Wing for dinner again, but sometimes he goes to Li to complain a few words.

There is a scenic spot in Baitu Town, the end is a strange mountain and different water, the scenery is beautiful, the legend is that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the pursuit and killing of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, has escaped here, so he got a name called Huangzangyu.

The students in the private school discussed, and took advantage of the Qingming Festival to go to Huangzangyu to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Chen Qiping followed his brother and played for a day, running around in the mountains was covered with sweat, his pink face was hot and red, he took off his jacket, and was stirred by the wind in the recess of the mountain, and after returning home, he caught a cold at night and got typhoid fever.

Li Shi asked him about the coldness when the sun was at its strongest, and he slept on the stone pier in front of the Huangzang Cave, so he expected that no one would cover her. Chen Qi'an is a half-sized boy in the end, where is it like a snow like a snow girl, he is so big or he takes Qi Ping out for the first time, and the students who go with him will not pay attention, Qi Ping felt cool at the time, and then he had a stuffy nose and sneezed after a sleep, Li quickly cooked the old ginger soup mixed with brown sugar and boiled a thick bowl, but he still didn't suppress the disease.

At first, it was just a little runny nose, but it was still the same trick, and after playing a few laps in the yard, he leaned his head against the door frame and kept silent.

I didn't have the strength to go to private school, so I took a leave of absence at home, because he was sick, and Li didn't force him to read and write. Chen Qiping was happy at first, and finally he didn't have to go to the private school, he was feverish, three days were good and two days were bad, he drank the old ginger soup after cooking, but it still didn't work, he had always loved to eat, he had no appetite to eat and vomit, he was only willing to drink some rice paste, and his round face lost weight in less than three days.

Li worked during the day and slept with Qi An at night. Qi An's round body, but he is most afraid of heat, as soon as Qingming passes, the night will be warm, Li is afraid that he will be shocked and sweat covered with a thick quilt, he is irritable and kicking the quilt and kicking his legs, humming and chirping. Li's eyes were red after staying up for two days, Chen Xuejiao followed Li's sleeping poop and guarded her, ready a washed towel to wipe his sweat at any time, fell asleep when it was cool, and then woke up and kicked his legs when it was hot, and so on.

Chen Xuejiao also prepared honeysuckle vines to boil water, warmed them and put them into the soup woman, and once Chen Qi'an woke up at night, he let him drink a few sips.

No wonder it is so carefully cared for, in this era, a wind chill will be enough to kill people.

this day. Chen Qi'an woke up at night, thirsty and wanted to drink water. Chen Xuejiao drank a big bowl of honeysuckle water with him, Chen Qi'an refused to sleep, humming and chirping that his arm hurt.

Chen Xuejiao didn't dare to wake up Li, got out of bed in her clothes and lit the lamp, and took a closer look, there were a few red dots on her arms. Chen Xuejiao didn't care. I thought there were a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains. A few days ago, Qi Ping went to the mountains to play and was bitten by sleeping on the cool stone, so he wrung up a towel and wiped him, and poured a little honeysuckle water to wipe a little on his arm. Liang Qinqin stopped the pain, Chen Qi'an yawned, turned over and fell asleep again.

Who knew that on the second day, his arms and thighs were on his back. There were red dots, bulging and hard. Chen Qi'an itched his hand to scratch it, but was held down by Chen Xuejiao.

Li's head was sweating in a hurry, and it happened that Mrs. Cai came to deliver sesame oil to Cai's, so she took a look. She fell and screamed guilty: "It's chickenpox." ”

Li almost weakened his legs when he heard this, and Cai also hurried over to take a look, lifted his clothes and took a look. The skin hasn't come out yet, so I gently press it with my finger. Chen Qiping screamed in pain, and everyone changed color.

Chen Qiping stopped reading, and went to the town with his third uncle Chen Zifu to invite Zheng Langzhong.

In this era, chickenpox is very rare to see good, none of the first three children got chickenpox, Li has only heard people say, even if it is good, it is also a full face pockmark, Chen Qiping is only seven years old, if he is plagued by chickenpox, it is a lifelong thing, and he can't say what his daughter-in-law can do with a pockmarked face.

Li was so anxious that tears came out, Xue Ru and Jing wept well, but Xue Jiao was calmer and comforted Li with all her might.

Mrs. Cai had seen a lot, so she hurriedly asked her to put Qi Ping on the bed, put on a clean bedding, opened the doors and windows to let the cool breeze blow, and gave her warm wild chrysanthemum water. Cai's nervousness seemed to be something, so he hurriedly hugged Xueyan, took off his clothes and checked carefully, and was relieved to see the snow on his child.

From time to time, Zheng Langzhong came, showed Qi Ping, told him to stick out his tongue, rolled his eyes again, prescribed a prescription to Li Shi, and asked someone to follow him to the pharmacy to grab the medicine. He also instructed some taboos not to touch them when they were cold, let alone catch a cold.

Chen Zifu took Chen Qi'an and hurriedly went to the town to grab the medicine, and Li guarded the stove and boiled the medicine himself, and all the medicine for the bitter dead was given to Qi Ping to drink. The day was fine, seeing that the fever had subsided, Li was a little relieved, who knew that the high fever started again that night, the uncomfortable body was red, and the crying voice was hoarse. Xue Ru, Xue Jiao, and Jing Hao took turns to wipe their sweat, and they were afraid that he would freeze, and seeing him crying, his distressed eyes turned red.

Li re-boiled the medicine for him to drink, and vomited half a bowl of medicine. The body is burning hot, Xue Ru, Xue Jiao, and Jing Hao take three turns to give him a cold compress, how can he not only be hot but also itchy, two small hands scratch his face and scratch randomly, Chen Qi'an grabbed his hand for fear of grabbing out a pockmarked face.

No one in the family had a good night's sleep, and Chen Qi'an didn't make trouble until the rooster crowed, and he was also tired, and he didn't have any strength in his body, so he fell asleep. It's just that I still have a high fever, and I have poured medicine several times, but it doesn't go away.

As soon as the morning dawned, Chen Xuejiao said, "It's better to go to Imperial Doctor Zhu." ”

Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, but where was the door of Imperial Doctor Zhu that could be opened by the people in their township, and it was a coincidence that he saved Chen Xiucai and Cai. Chen Xuejiao said anxiously: "Doctor's parents' heart, I think Imperial Doctor Zhu is a good one, how can I know if I don't try it once, Qi Ping's body is important." ”

At this time, the Han family got the news and had already arrived, and after listening to Xue Jiao's words, the Han shopkeeper did not wait for the Li family to speak, so he personally prepared a four-color ceremony and went to Xuzhou Mansion.

Hurry up, and in the middle of the afternoon, I really had to pick up Dr. Zhu Xiao.

Doctor Zhu Xiaotai didn't eat a cup of tea when he entered the door, walked into the house to see Chen Qiping, and saw that he was just blisters on his thighs and arms, and it was rare to see the whole face and body, and then took a look at the prescription prescribed by the doctor, and said calmly: "This is the evil qi that hurts the body, and I think that the cold has damaged the yang qi, and the previous prescription is not right, so it is good to reopen it." ”

As he spoke, he reopened a prescription. Cook soup with comfrey, coriander, water chestnut, white grass root, bamboo cane, and white radish every day and drink it for seven consecutive days.

Li wiped his tears with gratitude, and after reading it, Doctor Zhu was unwilling to eat or charge the consultation fee, so he left the medicinal herbs and left.

According to this recipe, I gave Qi An a drink, and the fever subsided on the same day, and it got better and better day by day. Seven days later, the disease was completely cured, the chickenpox scabbed and all the scabs fell off, and there were no acne pits on the whole body.

It just so happened that on this day, Chen Xiucai asked someone to send ten taels of silver to his home, and the letter he carried said that he would go home after selling the last batch of tea during the Qingming Festival.

Li sighed, and the bag of silver was put away by Xue Jiao. In the evening, the family discussed buying some gifts and went to Dr. Zhu's house to thank them, regardless of whether they received it or not, their sincerity had to be enough. (To be continued)
