Chapter 3 Hello Uncle!
Maybe it really survived the most dangerous time, maybe the medicinal herbs added really worked, and in the next few days, under the care of the bride, Zhao Yuan really got better.
For the first time, Zhao Yuan walked out of the room, his steps were a little vain, but there was no longer that feeling of turbulence in his stomach.
In these few days, the bride Meng Ying is the most tired. not only had to take care of Zhao Yuan and Xiao Zhao Luo, but was also commanded by Zhao Yuan to do a big cleaning.
Clean thoroughly in front of and behind the house, clean the ditch, all the dishes and chopsticks are scalded with boiling water, clothes and bedding must be scalded, all the water to drink must be boiled before drinking, and some artemisia wormwood is cut in the ground, and the room is smoked after drying to drive away mosquitoes.
It was rainy in Shu, and in this midsummer, it began to rain again in three days. Zhao Yuan, who came from later generations, knew that this epidemic should be dysentery caused by bacterial infection, so it was necessary to do a good job of hygiene in order to prevent infection.
"Uncle, hello." The little girl hugged Zhao Yuan's arm and cried.
Because Zhao Yuan was ill and listened to the words of Langzhong in the village, the child's resistance was weak, and the bride Meng Ying did not let Xiao Zhao Luo get close to Zhao Yuan in the past few days. The little girl used to be very close to her uncle, and Daddy Zhao Dazhu was always busy in the fields, and Zhao Yuan took care of her many times. From the memory of the original owner, Zhao Yuan has learned a set of daddy skills.
"Luoluo, don't cry, uncle is fine." Zhao Yuan looked at the tearful man in front of him, and felt pity in his heart, with such a young girl, her father died, and even her only relative, the uncle, was no longer genuine.
"Woo, uncle, I thought you would die like Daddy." Zhao Yuan said not to cry, but Xiao Zhao Luo cried even more fiercely.
In the small village, children will do what they can, so they are also very sensible. In this era, a child's relatives have passed away, but no one will coax the child to say that your relatives have just gone to another place.
"Xiao Luoluo, don't worry, uncle is fine, he won't die!" Zhao Yuan squatted down and wiped away the little girl's tears with his sleeve, and said comfortingly.
"Uncle, Luoluo misses Daddy." The little girl sobbed and said.
"Luoluo, Uncle also misses your Daddy, although he went to another world, but at night Luoluo will be able to see Daddy." Zhao Yuan said.
"Really?" Luoluo asked, widening her eyes.
"Really, not only Daddy, but also Grandpa, Grandma, and Mother, they just went to another world and became stars in the sky, looking at Luoluo you, so Luoluo must be obedient in the future." Zhao Yuan coaxed the little girl and said, it rained for two days two days ago, but today it is clear, and the stars should be seen at night.
"Well, uncle, I will be very well-behaved, and my aunt has praised me these days."
"Luoluo is so good, let's go play."
"Uncle, you play with me."
"Okay, Uncle will play with you."
Meng Ying felt very happy, although she had done a lot of things in the past few days, she saw Zhao Yuan slowly getting better, and she respected herself very much, and felt that it was worth it no matter how much hardship she suffered.
Looking at the uncle and nephew playing in front of the house, Meng Ying felt that she was just an older child, but she knew a little more and spoke very interestingly.
"Official, Luoluo, drink some water." When the sun came out, the temperature was much higher, and Meng Ying brought two bowls of purslane soaked water to the two of them.
"Okay, Luoluo, drink water."
Purslane has the effect of clearing heat and dampness, detoxifying and reducing swelling, anti-inflammatory, cough suppressant, diuretic, and is very easy to find, there are many in the field, it can also be used as food to eat during the famine, the taste is a little sour, and the water soaked out is not difficult to drink.
One person drank a bowl of purslane water, and after drinking it, the bride went to the field to hunt pigweed, and the family also fed two pigs, which were two big stomachs, and they ate a lot every day. Zhao originally wanted to go together, but after so many days, his steps were weak and weak, and the ground was still wet just now, so the bride didn't let him go.
Zhao Yuan's family has a total of eight acres of land, four acres of paddy fields and four acres of dry land, rice is planted in the paddy field, wheat is planted in the dry land, and there is about half an acre of vegetable land, and some vegetables are planted behind the house. In the past few days, the bride has already known where the land at home is, and for peasant girls, she has to work in the fields since she was a child, so she will do these jobs.
Rice fields only need to control the amount of water in the field, dig the ditch mouth slightly lower when it rains, and plug the ditch mouth when there is little or no rain. There are more things in the wheat field, because there is a lot of rain in Shu, and the grass in the field grows quickly, and it is necessary to go to the field to pull the grass once every ten days, but these grasses can be chopped up and used to feed the pigs, which kills two birds with one stone.
The grass in the wheat field was cleaned up by Zhao Dazhu and Zhao Yuan not long ago, but there is no need to pull it out, and the bride needs to go to the field to find the pigweed. Houttuynia cordata, desmodium, sour stem, purslane, ...... The plant bride who can be used as pigweed is very familiar, on the ditch, on the ridge, on the roadside, these pigweeds are very much, small hoes digging, hand pulling, soon a full frame of pigweed.
This season is considered the slack season, the rice has been planted in the field for more than a month, the wheat does not need to do anything except weeding, and the epidemic in the village has killed a total of nine people, and there are few people in the field.
Meng Ying only met a few half-old children who were playing pigweed like her, and several children knew Meng Ying, and they shouted Meng Ying's sister-in-law and sister-in-law of the younger generation, but because they were not familiar with it, they just shouted and each played pigweed. After Meng Ying filled the basket and the basket was also filled with a basket of pigweed, Meng walked towards home.
"Luoluo, Uncle is ready to cook, are you hungry?"
At home, Zhao Yuan, who had been playing with Luoluo all morning, saw that the time was almost up, so he was ready to make lunch. At this time, it is the season for eggplant green beans to fall, and there are eggplant green beans picked from the vegetable field in the kitchen, but unfortunately there are no crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes yet.
Zhao originally didn't know how to cook, but he had the knowledge collected from the development of games in later generations, and the original owner could also cook in his memory, so he could still make a meal according to the script.
"Not hungry yet." Luoluo was very happy that his uncle had been playing with him all morning, and he would not feel hungry at all.
"Maybe when the meal is ready, you'll be hungry, do you want Luoluo to help?" Zhao Yuan thought that the bride should be back soon, so she should make the meal first.
"Okay, I'll help light the fire."
Although the little girl is only more than three years old, she can already help with some small things, including picking vegetables and lighting the fire.
Zhao Yuan took the little girl to the kitchen, ready to make an eggplant stewed beans, and then boil a white rice porridge.
Remove the stems of the beans, wash the eggplant, cut the eggplant into pieces, then make a fire, add a small piece of lard to the pot, stir-fry the onion and garlic, add the beans and salt to stir-fry to taste, then add the eggplant and stir-fry a few times, add the water that has not been the eggplant and beans to boil and then simmer over low heat, boil porridge in another pot, and soon make lunch.
"Uncle, my aunt is back." After cooking the meal, Luoluo went out to play again, and Zhao Yuan sat behind the stove and watched the fire.
"Okay, Luoluo is hungry, let's get ready to eat." Zhao Yuan helped Meng Ying put down a basket full of pigweed, and then put out the porridge and vegetables.
"Official, you've cooked well!"
"Well, try my craft."
"Okay." Meng Ying only felt that her husband was so good, he didn't have a shelf as a man at all, and he could still cook.
"Uncle, it's good that you're okay!" Xiao Luoluo said happily while eating the dishes cooked by Zhao Yuan and drinking porridge.
"Okay, Uncle is completely well, Luoluo can eat the rice cooked by Uncle in the future, eat more." Zhao Yuan gave Xiao Luoluo a chopstick dish and said.
Yes, my health is better, and this will be my Zhao Yuan's home in the future, a lovely little niece, and a beautiful daughter-in-law! Zhao Yuan felt that the fighting spirit was high!
