Chapter Seventy-Four: Being Fertile
Chen Suyun stayed at the stove mountain at night and used a casserole to boil Chinese medicine for Gu Zhen, Grandma Liang went to bed early, and Gu Zhen also came to the stove after helping Grandma Liang close the door, moved a wooden bench, and sat by the fireside.
The casserole was steaming hot, and from time to time some brown juice splashed out, and the taste was bitter between breaths.
"Mom, is this medicine bitter?"
Chen Suyun took the chopsticks and flipped through the medicine residue and said, "There are codonopsis and angelica in it, it should be a little bitter." ”
"Oh." Gu Zhen doesn't like to endure hardships, so he can't help but feel a little depressed.
Chen Suyun suddenly thought of something, walked to the cabinet, and turned out a tin box at the bottom layer, with more than a dozen pieces of sugar scattered in it.
"This is the candy I had when I got married to your Uncle Liang, you will take a piece after taking the medicine, sweet mouth."
Chen Suyun put the iron box in Gu Zhen's hand, and Gu Zhen smiled: "Thank you, Mom." ”
"Thank you...... Chen Suyun sat opposite Gu Zhen, the light of the fire in the stove reflecting her tightly knit brow.
"I'm a mother, I didn't even notice that my daughter didn't come, and I kept delaying your ......"
As he spoke, the corners of Chen Suyun's eyes were moist and moist, but the action of stirring the Chinese medicine with chopsticks in his hand did not stop.
Boiling Chinese medicine is knowledgeable, first brewing, then boiling, boiling twice, the first time of the medicinal juice and the second time of the medicinal juice put together to boil the third time, the remaining residue is not wasted, soak the feet, take a bath, wash your face can be.
The most feared thing is that if the heat is too big, the medicinal effect of the paste pot will be destroyed, so Chen Suyun has been stirring the decoction and has not stopped much.
"Mom, I don't blame you, I'm dedicated to studying, and I haven't found that I'm different from other girls, so how can I blame you."
Chen Suyun was still speechless with guilt, and only by constantly stirring the Chinese medicine could she offset the guilt in her heart.
Gu Zhen took the chopsticks: "Mom, I'll stir it for a while." ”
Chen Suyun wanted to say no, but Gu Zhen had already snatched the chopsticks over, learning Chen Suyun's strength decently, turning over the medicinal herbs.
Chen Suyun looked at Gu Zhen, after a year, she seemed to have grown a little taller, her body was still thin, and her hair was a little yellow, very similar to when she was young.
"Really, I'm actually eighteen years old, I remember it was summer, yes, eighteen summer was the first time I did it."
Chen Suyun suddenly remembered, and said slowly: "You have several uncles, all of whom got married and moved out, leaving me to live with your grandma and grandfather." ”
At that time, there was no one to introduce the girl, and Chen Suyun's parents didn't think about finding a doctor to see what was going on, and they were planning for the worst.
So Chen Suyun's playmates around her are all married and have children, Chen Suyun is still cooking in the production team to earn work, and the food stamps are handed over to her parents to support the elderly, until that summer, she and a few girls went to bathe in the river and found blood.
Her mother happily began to arrange a blind date, the first one to meet was Gu Guangyao, her parents fell in love, and Chen Suyun agreed, she felt that whoever she lived with was the same, not to mention that Gu Guangyao looked good-natured.
Speaking of which, almost twenty years have passed.
Gu Zhen understood in his heart, so his physical condition was most likely genetic.
"Mom, you don't have to worry, it seems that I inherited you!" Gu Zhen's grinning smile alleviated Chen Suyun's worries.
When boiling for the third time, the casserole was full of soup and water, and the dregs were poured into the enamel basin, and some hot water was added to let Gu Zhen soak his feet.
Then Chen Suyun returned to the stove, this time her brows relaxed, and Gu Zhen had a chance to talk about the next matter.
"The doctor who treated me today turned out to be a dwarf." Gu Zhen said in amazement: "No wonder people of the older generation always say that those who really have the ability to see a doctor are a little untreatable by God, and they may not be physically disabled." ”
Chen Suyun also became interested: "Then this doctor is like this, which means that the medical skills are very good?"
"Okay, tomorrow grandma asked him to come to our house, take a look at the old and problematic on grandma's legs, do you want to take a look too?"
Gu Zhen asked tentatively, and Chen Suyun subconsciously refused: "I'm not sick or sick, I'm in good health, I don't need it." ”
Chen Suyun paused and asked, "Your grandmother asked you to deliver the message?" ”
Gu Zhen hurriedly shook his head, although Grandma Liang proposed this idea, she also wanted Chen Suyun to take a look, so it was not a handover.
Gu Zhen said firmly: "You and Uncle Liang are not young, come on, give me a younger brother and sister." ”
Chen Suyun's face turned red all of a sudden: "What does a child know, pregnancy is not forced to be begged." ”
"But it's also about sincerity." Gu Zhen added.
"Okay, well, then I'll take a look tomorrow." Chen Suyun's thoughts buried in the bottom of his heart were also dug out and grew in the wind.
The first bowl of soup was still hot, Gu Zhen twisted his eyebrows and didn't dare to breathe, and drank it in one go.
Then quickly rinse your mouth, remove a piece of sugar and put it in your mouth, and then you can pick up half a life.
Chen Suyun poured the rest of the medicine into the divided bottles, and then placed it on the cabinet, not far from the stove, so that the medicine would neither freeze nor deteriorate.
At night, Gu Zhen got into Chen Suyun's bed, she hadn't slept with her mother for a long time, breathing greedily
The faint fragrance on Chen Suyun's body.
In the dream, she has a younger brother, but cute and loving, liked, she had no children in her previous life, this life is too long, and I don't know, if I can really have a younger brother, it is the happiest thing.
Chen Suyun got up early, as soon as breakfast was ready, Li Yufu arrived, he stood at the door of the factory and knocked on the door, if it weren't for Gu Zhen saying that he was a dwarf, I am afraid that Chen Suyun would treat him as a child of any family and ignore him.
"Is it Dr. Li?"
Chen Suyun put on a thick coat and ran to the door to open the door, Li Yufu looked at the door: "Is it Aunt Liang's house?" ”
"Yes, please come in, you're so early." Chen Suyun opened and closed the door, leading Li Yufu to the living room.
Gu Zhen couldn't get up in bed, and heard that in the living room of the outhouse, Grandma Liang also came in and chatted with Li Yufu there.
She turned over and continued to sleep, and when she woke up, the sun was already shining, Li Yufu was gone, and there were already workers walking back and forth in the courtyard, starting work.
Grandma Liang sat on the rattan sofa and pounded her legs, and when she saw Gu Zhen coming out, she asked, "Good granddaughter, are you hungry?" Your mother instructed me to watch you finish eating before taking medicine, otherwise it will hurt your stomach. ”
Gu Zhen looked at the warm porridge on the stove, and when he saw a bowl of black decoction, his stomach was nauseous, and his stomach was uncomfortable.
"Grandma, his medicine won't be poisonous, right?" Gu Zhen leaned on Grandma Liang and coquettishly.
"How is it possible, go wash up, then eat and drink medicine, and I will have to boil medicine for your mother in a while."
"My mother?"
Grandma Liang smiled with relief: "Yes, after Dr. Li showed me in the morning, your mother also offered to take a look, and then the doctor prescribed some medicine." ”
"What did Dr. Li say?"
Gu Zhen was worried in his heart, after all, Chen Suyun was not young.
Grandma Liang said happily: "The doctor said that your mother is in good health and can give birth." ”
"That's good." Gu Zhen is also happy for Chen Suyun, it seems that many things are still according to the arrangement of the previous life, there is no change, even if there is a change, it is still developing in a good direction.
Gu Zhen took Chinese medicine for three days, and it was not fragrant to eat bitterly in his mouth, and on the morning of the exam, Gu Zhen drank the last decoction with sugar in his mouth, and walked to school.
As soon as he went out of the door, he saw Cheng Xiaolei, he was wearing a black down jacket, Gu Zhen approached and opened his collar to take a look.
"Your sister has made a lot of money, buy you a Swan brand down jacket!"
Cheng Xiaolei's neck was itchy by Gu Zhen, and while he was tidying up his collar, he was disgusted: "Your hands and claws are too cold!" ”
Gu Zhen didn't feel it, so he put his hand on his face, isn't this ice? Cheng Xiaolei is really a squeamish bag.
Gu Zhen rolled her eyes, Cheng Xiaolei didn't have to guess what she was thinking, and she didn't explain, she grabbed Gu Zhen's hand and stuffed it into her pocket.
Cheng Xiaolei carried a temperature in his pocket, and in this contrast of temperature, Gu Zhen understood that his hands were indeed ice.
"This down jacket was rewarded to me by my sister because of my good results in the exam."
Cheng Xiaolei had a proud look on his face, and at the same time, Gu Zhen also saw the tiredness in his eyes, I don't know if he stayed up late to read last night, and his eyes were red.
"If I were your sister, I would be very happy."
"Really? Are you happy for me too? Cheng Xiaolei turned his head to look at Gu Zhen, the two of them were walking side by side at the moment, her hands were still in her pockets, as if she had returned to the time when they were 'in love'.
Gu Zhen smiled: "Of course, don't disgrace my reputation as a scholar!" ”
"What is a scholar?" Cheng Xiaolei blinked: "Why don't you feel like it's a good word?" ”
Gu Zhen coughed twice and changed the topic: "Today's exam is still the old rule." ”
Cheng Xiaolei is full of confidence: "Don't worry, I promise to complete the task." ”
"But since you're a scholar, why do you have to copy me?" Cheng Xiaolei asked suspiciously.
"I'm putting pressure on you!" Gu Zhenyi explained rhetorically.
“…… Thank you? ”
"You're welcome."
When they arrived at the school gate, Gu Zhen's hands were already sweating, and the two of them tacitly separated a few steps away, Gu Zhen put his hands in his pocket, and walked forward with his head down.
The people in the classroom were almost there, and when they saw Gu Zhen coming in, they all had respect in their eyes.
Respect?
Gu Zhen subconsciously looked at the blackboard, and sure enough, his full-score essay was also transcribed by Wang Danian, and it seemed that it had been hanging for many days.
Cao Yunfei walked over, and just wanted to say something, but he saw Cheng Xiaolei who followed later, so he closed his mouth and returned to his seat.
Wang Wenyue was just the opposite, she flew over, wanting to hug Gu Zhen, but was killed by Gu Zhen's cold eyes half a meter away and didn't dare to approach.
"Really, you're so good, it's a perfect score essay!"
Gu Zhen didn't answer, Wang Wenyue could always be cheeky and continue to find a topic and say: "Zhenzhen, do you know? ”
Wang Wenyue suddenly lowered her voice, and then glanced at Fang Yao's seat, a gloating smile already on the corner of her mouth.
