Song only had a few coughs, and it was said that he still had some fever, but after taking the pills, the fever had subsided.

When Xie Mulin, Wen and Xie Jinyi came to visit her in the second room, they saw her leaning on the Luohan bed, holding the stove in her arms, coughing a few times in a low voice from time to time, but she was still reluctant to put down the book in her hand.

Wen had to use a humble gesture to persuade his mother-in-law to rest well, want to read, and wait until she is well. She also sent two boxes of precious medicinal materials, most of which were used to replenish the body. You don't need these for minor colds and flu, but you can come in handy when you get better.

Song sighed: "What are you sending these things to me for?" I've always been in good health, but I only coughed a few times when I got cold, and I got better in a few days. These medicinal materials are precious and hard to come by, so you might as well keep them yourself. The third brother and sister may need to use it at any time, even if she doesn't need it, if you take these to honor her, she will be happy to see it. It was sent to me, but it was a waste. ”

Xie Jinzhi: "Grandmother, don't say that, after your illness is cured, you also need to make up for it." The body is healthier, and it is not so easy to get sick on weekdays. The old lady doesn't need these medicines there, and even if she needs them, and her mother has something else to honor, where is your share? ”

Xie Mulin also persuaded the Song family to accept the medicinal materials, but the Song family had no choice but to order Yahuan to accept it, but said: "When you need to use it, just come to me and ask me, and it will be a pity to save it in vain." ”

Xie Mulin saw that she really didn't seem to be impressed by those precious medicinal materials, so he smiled and said: "Actually, medicine is not as good as food, instead of drinking bitter medicinal soup, it is better to eat some delicious medicinal food to nourish the body." How is my grandmother feeling lately? Are there any other symptoms besides the cold? For example, cold hands and feet or something? We also have a lot of medicinal recipes there, and no one paid attention to them in the past. Now I can turn it out and practice my hands, and I also cook myself and make a few good soups and dishes for my grandmother to taste? ”

Song laughed when he heard this: "Really? It made me curious. When you do cook one day, I'll have to try it. Our real sister makes a good snack, and the medicinal diet must not be difficult for you. ”

Xie Mulin laughed when he heard this, and made up his mind that after returning to the courtyard, he would go through his mother's medicinal diets and recipes, and there must still be a few dishes for cold and flu patients.

Seeing that Song was not seriously ill, Wen was also relieved, and talked about the preparations that Sanfang had to make for the New Year, and asked Song for advice. Song pointed out two shortcomings, and praised her: "You have done a good job, don't be too nervous." The elders of the clan have watched you grow up, and they know that you have had a difficult time this year, so they won't find fault with you, just relax. ”

Wen responded with a smile, but he still couldn't relax in his heart. She has married into the Xie family for so many years, and it is the first time for her to participate in the clan New Year's worship of her ancestors, preside over a series of New Year's ceremonies at home, and face all the relatives and friends in Huyin County, how can she not be nervous? She worries every day about how to deal with the concubines in her clan who are her age but are extremely skilled in all kinds of rules and etiquette if something goes wrong with her. Husband Xie Pu is the person with the highest official position and the best career development in the whole family, and the mother-in-law Song is also a virtuous woman admired by the family, if she does not do well enough, wouldn't she be embarrassed by the second and third rooms? Even a few children are going to be affected by her, how dare she relax in the slightest?

Xie Mulin and Xie Jinzhi both saw that the Wen family was still nervous, and the brother and sister glanced at each other and changed the topic in unison: "Grandmother, your old man is unwell, I don't know if you can notify your aunt and uncle?" ”

"Yes, it's time to ask my aunt to come back and visit my grandmother. If we hide it from her, and she knows the truth when she turns around, she will be annoyed with us. Xie Mulin said matter-of-factly.

Song smiled faintly: "There is no need to work hard. They're busy. The affairs of the academy can be over for the time being, but the Yang family still has to go back to live for a few days. A lot of things have happened this year, and the people of the Yang family are just afraid that they are all a little resentful of your uncle, and they won't let him have a good time. Your aunt will also be angry, so why bother to worry about her again? By the time the couple came for the Chinese New Year, my illness would have been cured, and even if your aunt was angry, it would only be a few complaints. ”

Xie Mulin hurriedly said: "Then under the pretext that you are sick, call your aunt back and let her suffer less from the Yang family for a few days, isn't it?" ”

Song said lightly: "She has been angry for the past few days, and she will be able to get out after the first day of the Lunar New Year." But if she was busy these days, she didn't face it with the people of the Yang family, and she was afraid that she would still be angry after that. At that time, she will have to deal with not only a few people from the Yang family, but also the clansmen of the Yang family who live elsewhere, as well as relatives and friends of the Yang family, etc., will be present. Why bother with that dilemma? ”

Wen said worriedly: "Mei Jun is really not easy. When he saw Uncle Yang so kind and reasonable, where did he think that his wife and children would be such people? Fortunately, Brother Yang is a considerate wife, talented, and wholeheartedly devoted to Mei Jun, otherwise Mei Jun is such a good woman, who would be willing to let her suffer such anger? ”

Song Shi took a deep look at her, and then looked away: "Yes, seeing the child being wronged, how can those of us who are relatives feel good?" ”

When he left the second room, Xie Mulin always felt that something was wrong. She asked Wen: "Mother, do you think that the second grandmother seems to be in a bad mood today?" Especially when it comes to Aunt Mei Jun, the second grandmother is not even in the mood to chat. ”

Wen was a little absent-minded, and she was still recalling the few things that Song had instructed her: "Is there one? Her old man is not feeling well, and it is common for her to be in a bad mood. Do you expect patients to be as happy as if they were all right? ”

Xie Mulin saw that she was distracted, so he had to go back and discuss with Xie Jinzhi.

Xie Jinzhi said: "Is it because of some bad mood, I'm afraid it's because the Yang family treats my aunt and uncle unkindly?" When people are sick, they will inevitably be a little more sentimental. Grandmother Xing is sick and misses her relatives, and she thinks that Aunt Mei Jun is now trapped in her in-law's house, and it is inconvenient to come back to visit her, so she is sad, right? Recently, we have been busy with things, and we have less time to visit her old man's home, maybe she is lonely, right? Let's come over to accompany her more, and when we go back, we have to persuade Brother Chun and Sister Yuan, so that they don't patronize and play around with their friends, and talk to their grandmother more. ”

Xie Mulin thought so: "Second brother is right! ”

The brother and sister then discussed, at what time to visit Song in the second room every day a year ago, and Wen also interjected a few words. But as soon as she returned to the third room, she immediately went about her business. The few mistakes and omissions that Song pointed out by her had to be corrected quickly.

Xie Jinzhi went to Xie Xian's place, and Xie Mulin returned to the courtyard by himself. As soon as she found two manuscripts about the recipe of medicinal diet, Xie Huizhi found them, sent them out first, and then took out a letter with a smile and shook it twice in front of Xie Mulin.

Xie Mulin looked at him with some surprise: "What is this?" ”

Xie Huizhi grinned, leaned closer and whispered, "Second Brother Xiao asked me to give it to Second Sister." It was almost dark outside, and he actually ran to Xie Jiajiao in person! I don't know what was written in the letter? Second sister, what the hell are you doing with each other? ”
