Overnight, the little brother Zhou Shaocheng's low-grade fever sometimes subsided, and sometimes it burned again, repeating two or three times. In the eyes of the family, this is a phenomenon that is slowly improving.

In the past few days, because there are too many things at home, Zhou Zhi has no time and no mood to study. On the second day, the sky was slightly bright, Zhou Zhi got up, first reached out and touched the forehead of his little brother Zhou Shaocheng, slightly hot, but he was already the same as before, curled up in the quilt and looked at Zhou Zhi with two beautiful little eyes, and his complexion improved a lot, so Zhou Zhi put his mind at ease.

"Brother, you don't get up early and don't study?" Zhou Shaocheng asked with a wink.

Hearing that the younger brother had the spirit to ask, Zhou Zhi's face was happy, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Well, I won't read it today, let's go to the stable first, and the group leader will come to check on the official horses today." ”

Yesterday, the official horse was already fine, but Zhou Zhi was still a little worried, for fear of committing it again today, so he had to walk outside.

"Brother! Wait for me, I'll go too! Zhou Shaocheng opened the quilt and was about to get dressed.

"Xiaocheng is really fine, okay, brother is waiting for you." Zhou Zhidao.

In Zhou Zhi's mind, Zhou Shaocheng has been lying on the kang for four or five days, and today he seems to have improved a lot, and it is not impossible to walk around on the kang at this time.

Zhou Shaocheng hurriedly got dressed, jumped off the kang.

"Xiaocheng, the illness is just better, you can't jump like this." Zhou Zhi's face turned pale and said.

"It's okay, I'm fine! …… Oops! Brother, I have a stomachache! Zhou Shaocheng just jumped off the kang, and squatted down with his hands on his stomach.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and asked anxiously, "Xiaocheng, does it hurt?" Don't move, go back to the kang and lie down! ”

"It hurt a little just now, and it passed all of a sudden." Zhou Shaocheng said as he slowly stood up.

Zhou Zhi thought that it might have been because of the fierce jump just now, and he should be fine after a while. Xiaocheng's illness will never be cured all at once, as Qiu Huichun Lang said, the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread. Xiaocheng can get better so quickly, which is already very good. I want to take the herbs prescribed by Qiu Langzhong for two more days, and slowly adjust and raise it for a few days before it will recover as before.

"Let's go, brother, I'm really fine, and now the pain isn't bad at all." Zhou Shaocheng was talking, and his little hand had already grabbed Zhou Zhi's hand.

Xiao Cheng's little hands were slightly cold, obviously not feverish.

The two brothers quickly left the house and entered the stables.

"Brother, look at you, Mara is thin!" Zhou Shaocheng saw the thin dung all over the ground at a glance when he entered the stable, and shouted at Zhou Zhi anxiously.

The most concerned thing is the matter of horse dung, and Zhou Zhi looked into the ground at the first glance when he entered the stable. At this time, he was in a daze.

Still no, Mara Xi committed it again, could it be because I didn't feed enough sorghum noodles yesterday? Or does it not work at all?

Zhou Zhi made a silent gesture towards his younger brother Zhou Shaocheng, and said in a low voice, "Xiaocheng, don't talk nonsense, don't let your mother and sister know." ”

Zhou Shaocheng's small eyes blinked a few times, as if he understood what Zhou Zhi meant, nodded busily, and also lowered his voice and said, "I know my brother, my brother is afraid that his mother and sister will know and worry, right?" ”

Zhou Zhi gently stroked Zhou Shaocheng's little head, this little brother is so cute, and he is also very smart and governor!

The group leader is going to see the official horses today, and the most important thing at this time is to clean up the thin manure on the ground first. The group did not inspect the official horses for a long time, and he thought that as long as the horses did not pull dung, he would not find out.

As for the illness of this official horse, he had to wait for this pass and slowly diagnose and treat it. Maybe I'll be able to feed more fried sorghum noodles today, and it will be completely healed.

Unable to hesitate any longer, Zhou Zhi hurriedly went to the firewood room to get a shovel and began to quickly clean up the horse manure.

The younger brother Zhou Shaocheng walked back and forth in the courtyard, and sometimes he had to rub his stomach by himself, but it was obviously not very painful.

"Brother! ......" Zhou Shaocheng shouted loudly in the courtyard, and Zhou Zhi hurriedly got out of the stable.

When I looked at the courtyard, I couldn't help but immediately whisper a foul word: What a problem! How did you come so early?

Wang Quntou was striding towards the stable.

I remember that it was almost noon when the group leader Wang Qi came to Zhou's house to see the official horses last time, but today the sky just dawned, what is this guy smoking?

Today, Wang Quntou is much more energetic than when he came, wearing a new dress, but still wearing his shabby little hat. This guy held his head high, his face was gloomy, and the first feeling he gave Zhou Zhi was that the person who came was not good.

"The boy of the Zhou family, are you cleaning horse manure?" Wang Quntou asked coldly, and then quickly stood at the door of the stable.

He just glanced at the stable, and immediately looked angry, turned back to Zhou Zhi and said, "Zhou family boy, the thin dung in this place is obviously the thin dung of the official horse, right?" ”

"This ......"

The facts are in front of him, Zhou Zhi is really speechless for a while, but looking at Wang Quntou's disgusting appearance of the villain, Zhou Zhi has a stalk in his neck, and said, "People will get sick when they eat grains, and horses will naturally have a time to pull thin dung when they eat forage." ”

"Humph! Really good at talking, you come to see, but I haven't seen him for ten days, the official horse seems to be a lot thinner, and he has pulled thin dung, which is obviously because you kid didn't have a good life to take care of and feed, so the official horse was sick. Do you still want to quibble? Wang Qun's eyes rolled and said angrily.

Zhou Zhi knew that he was at a loss, but when he saw Wang Quntou's unforgiving posture, he was disgusted. For a person like Wang Qi, the head of the group, first of all, he can't be afraid of him in terms of momentum, otherwise he doesn't know how to make things difficult for himself.

Zhou Zhi immediately smiled coldly, and said forcefully, "Quntou, what you said is not right, the kid serves carefully day and night, and he does not neglect this official horse at all." As for the official horse's illness, the kid didn't admit it. It only occasionally pulls some loose dung, and it doesn't take a day or two to get better. How can it be concluded that the official horse is sick? ”

"Let me ask you, how can the official horse be loose if he is not sick. Diarrhea is sick, don't you understand such a simple truth? Do you want this group leader to teach you? Wang Quntou pressed step by step.

The corners of Zhou Zhi's mouth raised slightly, smiled contemptuously at him, and shook his head randomly.

Wang Quntou was stunned by Zhou Zhi's anger, and pointed at Zhou Zhidao, "Okay!" You're really good, and you're still playing tricks with the head of the group. Hum! The head of this group will not talk nonsense with you today, and the official horse will be fined five taels of silver if he is sick. Boy, go and get the money out. ”

A mouth costs five taels of silver, and the Zhou family doesn't have a few coins of silver, where will there be five taels of silver. Besides, even if the official horse is sick, it is just a thin dung, and it will not be too serious if he wants to get sick, so how can he be fined five taels of silver, this Wang Quntou is obviously deliberately making things difficult.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhou Zhi's mouth raised slightly, and he chuckled, "Quntou, if the kid says that my family has no silver, what should you do?" ”

Wang Quntou said almost without thinking, "How come this group leader doesn't know that you don't have any silver at home?" The head of this group has already planned for your family, doesn't your family still have eight acres of land, and if you sell those eight acres of land, you can make up five taels of silver. ”
