Chapter 40: White Rice and White Noodles
After Aunt Wang woke up, Xiaoxiao helped her back to her home.
I met a lot of people along the way, although everyone was a little stunned by this little girl who ran around the village with a kitchen knife and chased her father last night, but someone still said hello.
Someone asked about the injury on Aunt Wang's head, and when Xiaoxiao explained that Cheng Dagui beat her, everyone knew that Cheng Dagui was beaten for a reason.
However, although Cheng Dagui beat people first, after all, he is Xiaoxiao's father, and Xiaoxiao is still a girl, although everyone understands, they still think that Xiaoxiao is doing something wrong.
Some people even deliberately told their children not to get so close to Xiaoxiao, in case they learned, what would they do in the future.
Back at home, Bai Xue was not there, and Xiaoxiao felt inconvenient to stew a fish soup, because she had to go to catch fish herself.
Helped her mother-in-law to the bed to rest, Xiaoxiao decided to boil some rice porridge first, she ran for most of the night last night, and she was really hungry.
Dr. Ge left the two of them to eat, but she refused, the money for the medical treatment had not been given, and she really didn't have such a thick skin when she rubbed other people's food.
Stir-fried a cabbage, with rice porridge, the two of them ate some.
Seeing her mother-in-law fall asleep again, Xiaoxiao tried to open the connection with Bai Xue,
"Bai Xue, how is the little sister?"
After waiting for a long time and not waiting for an answer, Xiaoxiao realized that this was a hundred miles away.
At that time, in order to prevent anyone from finding it, Xiaoxiao deliberately asked Bai Xue to find the deep mountain old forest, which was really the innermost part of the mountain.
A fairly clean cave, after Xiaoxiao received Qingqing, she asked her to stay there and not move, if there is any need, just find Bai Xue directly.
Qingqing's face was full of shock at that time, even when she left, she didn't believe it.
She wanted to accompany Qingqing, but she was also worried about her mother-in-law at home, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would want to go to Cheng's again, so she specially told her before leaving, but she still couldn't rest assured.
Now that her mother-in-law is injured and Qingqing is in the mountains again, she instantly has one head and two big, and both sides are worried, but it seems that she can't have both.
originally thought that she could contact Bai Xue, even if she was not by Qingqing's side, she could understand the situation at any time, but now it was not what she wanted, and Xiaoxiao instantly felt like she wanted to scold the sky.
After weighing it, she decided to stay at home to take care of her mother-in-law, although Qingqing is young, but she has already been able to cook by herself under Cheng's exercise over the years, as long as there is Bai Xue, there should not be much of a problem.
After making a decision in her heart, Xiaoxiao began to work on her own.
Two days ago, I bought some seeds in the town, and the land was cleared, so I took the opportunity to plant them.
The weather was indeed a little cold at this time, and the season for growing vegetables was already over, but she still wanted to give it a try.
In modern times, there is greenhouse planting, and she feels that if she follows the method of greenhouse planting, she will have at least half of the success.
In ancient times, there was no plastic wrap, so Xiaoxiao had to find a lot of thick branches, form a circle, and took a lot of straw out of the shed and put it on it, and a simple thermal insulation greenhouse appeared.
Xiaoxiao was busy with these, and saw that her mother-in-law had not woken up yet, so she had to resign herself to go to the creek to catch fish.
After fishing for a long time, I only caught a small fish, and looked at the big bucket, the palm-sized fish swam around.
Xiaoxiao......
When I got home, I skillfully killed fish and cooked on a fire.
As soon as she was done, she heard her mother-in-law's cough, Xiaoxiao hurriedly ran over to help pat her back, looking at her mother-in-law's red and somewhat abnormal face, Xiaoxiao reached out and touched it, and reached out directly to the hot one.
poured a bowl of water for her mother-in-law, and watched her finish drinking, Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked her to lie down:
"Mother, you have a fever, I'll go find Dr. Ge, you lie here first and don't move."
Aunt Wang nodded, she was weak at the moment, and she didn't want to say anything at all.
Xiaoxiao didn't leave empty-handed this time, but took two catties of white rice and white noodles, she has no silver in her hand now, she can't keep bothering people like this.
"Doctor Ge, please go and see my mother, she has a fever."
After Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she put down the basket on her back:
"I brought some things for you in this basket, but don't worry, I will definitely find a way to return the money for medical treatment to you when the time comes."
Dr. Ge and his wife didn't pay much attention to it, and thought that Xiaoxiao was holding wild vegetables or something.
When Sister-in-law Ge was cooking, she suddenly remembered the back basket that Xiaoxiao had brought over, and when she opened the straw on it, she saw that it was white rice, and she was a little stunned.
When I took out the rice, there was still some white noodles, this, white rice, white noodles, but everyone only ate them during the Chinese New Year.
Sister-in-law Ge had mixed feelings in her heart for a while, when Xiaoxiao came just now, she was really uncomfortable in her heart, you say, if everyone owes money for medical treatment like her, then their family will all drink the northwest wind.
Although she was dissatisfied, she didn't say it, she couldn't embarrass a child.
That's it, let Lao Ge see this last time for them, and if there is no silver, she will definitely not let Lao Ge go again.
Looking at the white rice and white noodles in front of her, Sister-in-law Ge felt a little guilty, these good ones were probably prepared by their family for the New Year.
The New Year is coming in two months, who didn't prepare some in advance, she also saw their house yesterday, the house has collapsed a little half, and the two of them seem to be living in the shed.
Alas, what a pitiful.
Sister-in-law Ge thought of this and put the rice and noodles back, she couldn't ask for it, she owed the silver first.
Winter is the hardest, this must be her mother's life-saving thing, she can't take it, otherwise if there is something, how can she live with this conscience.
Doctor Ge had just walked into the courtyard, and before he could sit down and rest, he was stuffed by Sister-in-law Ge.
"What is this?"
"Xiaoxiao's girl sent it over, you send it back quickly."
"What's it, since the girl sent it over and took it......"
Dr. Ge's "yes" word was stuck in his throat when he saw what it was, and his face was full of shock:
"This, white rice, white noodles?"
"Well, that's why I said you should send them over, these things must have been prepared by them for the New Year."
Sister-in-law Ge nodded, thinking of the half-collapsed thatched house, and continued to speak:
"I heard two days ago that Aunt Wang was cheated by that Cheng family, and yesterday I saw that their house had collapsed by a small half, and I thought there was no extra money.
Maybe it's a lifesaver, and we can't ask for it. ”
"Okay, I'll send it back immediately."
Doctor Ge and the others unanimously believe that this thing must have been bought by Aunt Wang and them in advance for the New Year, but they don't want to have unforeseen circumstances.
Everyone has a psychology, and they often sympathize with people who are weaker than themselves, such as Sister-in-law Ge, who does have some small forces in normal times, but when they see Aunt Wang, who is more bitter than themselves, they are only full of pity.
