This inverted spring cold came violently, Weishan Lake was further north, and when the north wind blew, the moisture poured into the legs and stomachs. Li was worried that Chen Xiucai would not be able to stand up when he got there, so he stayed up all night twisting needles, threading, cutting cloth and sizing to make a new jacket, which was stuffed with thick new cotton, which was the lightest and warmest to wear. On the second day, Zheng Huozi found a boat to Weishan Lake and brought it over.

After Li sewed the last stitch on Chen Xiucai's new clothes, it was already late when the needles were tied and knotted, when he heard a dog barking outside. There were pigs, cows and chickens in the yard, and Li was worried that he wouldn't be touched by some thieves walking the streets, so he put down his padded jacket and opened the door and walked into the yard to check, and found that the snow on the tree had fallen to the ground by the faint moonlight, causing the dog to bark. She inspected the chicken coop and found nothing unusual, so she mixed the cow with grass and poured it into the trough.

Li was wearing a single coat, only approved a thin jacket, sneezed by the cold wind, and his hands and feet were cold, and it took a long time to come to his senses after entering the house. She is not so delicate, her body has always been strong, she is the rough woman who works in the field after giving birth, she thought that she had nothing to do with a cold wind, but she didn't want to get up to make breakfast for Qi An when the rooster crowed, her head sank violently, and she fell directly on the pillow, only to feel that her nose was breathless, her body was sore, her forehead was hot and sweaty, and she was still cold after covering the quilt.

She lay on the kang for a long time, struggling to get dressed, but she couldn't stand the heaviness of her head, and her hands trembled and her clothes fell to the ground, knocking over the sewing basket that she had not had time to collect at night. At this moment, Xue Jiao, who was sleeping beside her, woke up.

Li stretched out his hand to light the candle, but the candle was not touched, and he sneezed four or five times in a row. Chen Xuejiao put on her jacket and lit a candle. By the candle flame, I saw Li's face pale, and when he looked at her forehead, it was boiling hot.

"It doesn't matter, I'm getting a chill at night." Li Shiqiang smiled and comforted Xue Jiao, her nose was not breathable, and her throat was also sore. The words spoken urn sound urn urn breath.

Xue Jiao knew that the Li family was suffering from a cold. Fever and cold. Quickly got out of bed with her clothes on, picked up the hot water bottle and poured a bowl of boiling hot water for Li Shi, and helped her lie down. said softly: "Mother, you had a cold last night, I think it was a fever, you should just lie down and sweat." ”

Li is used to doing work. In the past, when I was begging for a living under Mrs. Chen, the menstrual period came in the winter. His stomach hurt and wrenched together, and he still carried a load of clothes to wash in the cold river. Compared with the past, this headache and brain fever are not a problem at all, so I drank a bowl of hot water with Xue Jiao's hand. He propped himself up with his hands and was about to get up, but was held down by Chen Xuejiao.

"Headache and brain fever don't get in the way, where is it so delicate. Your brother and brother are going to school, and I have to make breakfast for them. Although Lee's head was dizzy. I don't take it seriously, struggling to get up.

In the past, my stomach hurt to death and live, and I had to do laundry and cooking, and it was okay.

"Headache and brain fever are not a big deal, but if you don't take care of it, what if it gets worse? I know that my mother is worried about my brother and brother's breakfast, isn't there still me, my sister and my cousin at home? Where they are hungry, you just lie in bed and rest, what if your father knows that you are sick and cannot feel at ease. Chen Xuejiao took out a thick new quilt from the closet and pressed it on Li's body, the brazier in the room had been extinguished after burning all night, and the charcoal was re-lit, and when the charcoal was burned, there would be a stream of smoke when the charcoal was burned, afraid that the smoke would smoke Li's, so she took a light small gauze basket and covered it, and put a plate of oranges and apples on the table, and washed the smoke with the aroma of the fruit.

Xue Jiao and Li's voices are high and low, and the whole room is so big that it can be heard inside and outside the house. Xue Ru and Jing slept in it, and heard that Li was sick in a hazy way, so she hurriedly approved her jacket and came to Li's bed. Chen Qiping has been under Xuejiao's grace these days, although he still struggles when he gets up, he doesn't cry or make trouble when he goes to school. Today, I knew that Li was sick, I got up honestly, I didn't have time to put on my clothes, and I got into Li's quilt with a bone, knowing that Li was hot and wanted to go to the Xiaohuai River to get ice, but was pulled by Chen Xuejiao.

Chen Qi'an was originally studying, but when he knew that his mother was sick and he didn't read anymore, he was going to invite Langzhong.

Having a cold is not a serious illness, but in this era of backward medical treatment, a slight diarrhea can be fatal, Chen Xuejiao remembered that Li Qingwen just stayed up late and blew the wind and fell into the root of the disease, and her body and bones never got better, and finally the fragrance jade was damaged.

She was really afraid that the Li family would have a case, so she took out the copper plate from the box and handed it to Qi An, and went to Zheng Langzhong in the town to grab the medicine.

Li sighed that the children were all older, and they knew that they had made up their minds, and they couldn't resist them, so they had to lie down and rest. He also told Xue Jiao: "Ping'er's book can't be pulled down." "Don't look at Li's own illiterate, because his man is a talent, he knows the benefits of studying, so he watches his son closely, and he must memorize three books before breakfast every day, and he is not allowed to sit, standing under the window, while facing the sun while reciting books, a room full of children's children's voices, shaking his little head with his back and memorizing three books, and then eating breakfast and going to school.

Qi Ping became sensible today, took the book early, stood in front of Li's bed, shook his head and memorized it. Xue Jiao was afraid that he would disturb Li's rest, so he asked him to go to the back room, but was stopped by Li, she was not used to lying in bed, so she needed someone to talk, and it was good to listen to the voice if she had nothing to say.

Xueru went to the pot house to boil a big bowl of thick ginger soup, put brown sugar in it and dissolved it, and served it to Li's stomach, sweating a little, and his nose was a little ventilated.

Qi An's legs and feet were broken, and he took three steps and two steps to the town, told Li about his symptoms, grabbed the medicine and hurried to the house. Xue Ru had already made breakfast, cut in half of the soft-boiled eggs, put a pot of noodles in thick chicken broth, put green garlic sprouts, and shredded lotus root mixed with vinegar and sesame oil and pickled diced radish, which was a fresh snack to eat with noodles. Because Qi Ping wanted to eat steamed sweet potatoes, Li took out two sweet potatoes with white flesh and red hearts from the cellar last night, steamed them in a pot, cut them, put them in a large bowl, sprinkled them with sugar, and served them. Qi An and Qi Ping ate hotly, Li struggled to get up and asked them to hurry to the school, and when Xue Ru stuffed Qi Ping's bag with boiled eggs and Fu orange cakes as usual.

As soon as the elder brother and younger brother left, Xue Jiao lit the stove and brushed the casserole. Boil a bowl of medicine out. The medicine was warmed, and Xue Ru gave it to Li to drink. Here Xue Jiao went to the stove again, boiled the pot, and stewed the fish soup. This fish was brought by Li Yuntian, who chiseled the ice of the Xiaohuai River and scooped up the fatty fish, although the meat was not as tender as in spring. However, it is rare to have live fish to eat in the winter. Brown the fish on both sides. Put it in a casserole pot and mix two scoops of water, and the soup will stew until milky white. Thinking that Li was cold, he couldn't eat greasy things. I took out a piece of fine gauze with steamed buns, strained the fish soup three or four times, and there was not a single speck of meat foam, and then added boiling water to dilute the taste. Put the tofu in the stew and sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions at the end.

Lee's forehead was sweating. After taking another bowl of medicine, her body was already strong, and she sweated once, except for her nose, which was a little breathless. It's almost all right.

Xue Jiao cleaned up and sat on the rocking chair next to Li's side, which was newly made by her uncle and covered with thick cotton cushions. Put a pillow on the back of the chair and sit on it to lean on it. Xue Jiao eats melon seeds while reading a book. From time to time, I accompanied Li to talk.

Li knows that this daughter doesn't love female celebrities, she only loves to read and learn words. I followed Chen Xiucai to study every day, and as soon as Chen Xiucai left, in order to let Qi Ping learn words well, she also put paper and ink to practice with Qi Ping.

Chen Xuejiao looked at the script given by Zhao Yiming, this one is. Although the story of Xu Xian and the White Lady has been circulated in the times, she has long been familiar with this story, but she still eats fruit cakes with melon seeds and watches it with relish.

Li's illness is both catching medicine and boiling medicine, a yard is so big, you can't look up and see it, and you will soon know it when you go to the room. Old man Chen thought that his son was not at home, and his daughter-in-law was in charge of everything inside and outside the house, so he secretly sent a bunch of money over. Mrs. Chen followed the analogy of the door that is neither yin nor yang: "What medicine to take for the New Year, the courtyard is full of the smell of medicine, and there is no bad luck." ”

Xue Jiao naturally ignored her, and still served the Li family carefully, and by the second day, her body was already well.

Qi Ping went to the school and told everyone in the school that Li had a cold. The Han family specially sent medicinal materials, the Zhao family sent a basket of eggs, and two students were from Lijiazhuang, and when they went back to study, Mrs. Li panicked, afraid that her daughter-in-law would have a case, and her son-in-law was not at home, only a few hairy children couldn't stand it, and hurriedly pulled her eldest daughter-in-law, Qiao, to see her daughter.

When I came to Chen's house, I saw that my daughter was already well, and a stone fell to the ground in my heart, and I took the hands of several grandchildren and granddaughters and said.

Qiao's basket was full of food, and several children liked this big woman who spoke well, talking and laughing around her.

Qiao's sat for a while and was about to go to the West Wing to see Cai's. Her son Da Zhuang married his daughter-in-law, and the third room of the Chen family gave a gift, and she also gave a gift when the newborn daughter of the third room washed the third ceremony.

Cai's mother, Mrs. Cai, took advantage of the oil stall today to take some time to take care of Cai's, and heard that Li's was suffering from a cold, so she specially carried four bags of fruits into the house to take a look.

As soon as she entered the house and saw Mrs. Li sitting cross-legged and chatting with Mrs. Li, Mrs. Cai smiled and squinted, put down the fruit and sat cross-legged opposite Mrs. Li.

Li's confinement was the same as Cai's after four confinements, and his mother-in-law did not show up, and they were all taken care of by his mother-in-law. The two old ladies found their soulmates, and the more they talked, the more intimate they became, and they chewed and scolded Mrs. Chen with their heads against their heads and lowered their voices.

Here Qiao's sat on Cai's kang, holding Cai's daughter in his arms, and said, "How handsome girl, have you given a name?" ”

"It's up, it's called Xueyan, it's the eldest brother." Cai Shi looked at the girl's white little face, and her frowning brows relaxed.

"Her uncle is a showman, so he must have a good name." Qiao's looked down at Xueyan in her arms, the more she looked at it, the more she loved it, and sighed: "It is said that my daughter is my mother's intimate little padded jacket, when will I have a daughter, dress her up every day, teach her embroidery and red, save her dowry early, and marry her a good in-law when she grows up." ”

Qiao's has no daughters, only two sons who are old and old, and when they see the baby girl, they hold on to it and refuse to let go.

Cai smiled bitterly: "I really want a son, or else, change it." ”

Qiao Shi smiled: "Where can I change this?" Regardless of men and women, it is always a piece of meat that falls from the mother's body, we don't have to learn from those patriarchal people, if I want me to say that a well-behaved and caring girl is better than ten abrasive sons. ”

Having said that, Cai's family has no son so far, and it is a pity that he heard the endorsement of Qi Ping's children's words outside, and said sadly: "It's better to be a son." ”

Qiao's temperament is straightforward, he doesn't hide his words, and when he heard this, he said: "You have two daughters in your hands now, don't worry, bloom first and then bear fruit, you are still young, it is important to take good care of your body, maybe the next child will be a son." ”

Cai Shi smiled reluctantly, and looked sad: "Hengzhu's children are all destined by God." ”

Her body is injured, and I don't know if she can recover from it.

In the north wing, Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Li are like a pair of old sisters who have been together for many years.

Li listened and got up to pour tea. As soon as the tea was served, I saw Xue Yao step in, the two old ladies looked at each other, and saw Xue Yao's eyes red as if they had cried, thinking that she was the one who went to the room, they closed their mouths together.

Xue Yao didn't think that there were other people in the room besides the Li family, so she stopped suddenly, lowered her head, bit her lip, looked at the two old ladies, and said to the Li family: "Auntie, I have something to do with you." (To be continued)
