"Rong Niang, even if it is a burden, she is willing to be a husband. The only hope for a husband is to hope that Rong Niang can get better soon. ”

After dinner, Xie Wenan personally squatted on the north wall outside the east chamber and used a small clay stove to boil medicine for his daughter.

Xie Yilin picked up the cloth towel, clumsily wet it with warm water, and then stepped on the wooden pier to climb onto the kang, kneeling beside his sister, and wiping his sister's hands and face little by little.

These things may not be a big deal to a person in good health! But for Xie Yilin, who was thin and weak, he did all his strength.

Looking at the tired and panting younger brother who climbed up and down, with an abnormal flush on his delicate little face, Xie Yiqing stopped him distressedly.

"Yilin, you don't have to help my sister wipe her face, wait for my sister's body to get better tomorrow, and then wipe it myself."

"Clean." Xie Yilin always speaks softly because of his young age and body, he knows that his sister loves to be clean, so he must help his sister wipe his hands and face.

"Yilin, obedient, if you are tired and sick, you can't help feed your sister."

"Huh?" After listening to his sister's words, Xie Yilin stopped the movements of his hands, looked at his sister with some uncertainty, and finally put down the cloth towel obediently.

"Sister Qing, the medicine is boiled, the current temperature is just right to drink it quickly! When it's cold, it's even less delicious. ”

Xie Wenan took the medicine bowl and sat on the edge of the kang cautiously, afraid of spilling the medicinal juice in the bowl.

Xie Yiqing glanced at the black-brown medicinal juice in the bowl and frowned in disgust.

"Sister Qing, drink the medicine quickly, if you don't drink the medicine, how can you be good."

"Sister, drink the medicine. Drink the medicine and take my sister out tomorrow to play ....... Xie Yilin told his sister what he had said before to coax him to take medicine.

Looking at the two pairs of eyes staring at her, Xie Yiqing opened her mouth in resignation. "Daddy, take a bite."

"Okay." Xie Wenan understood what his daughter meant, that is, he wanted to drink the medicine in one go.

Xie Yiqing thought so and did so. When the bitter liquid flows down the throat, the mouth is also filled with a bitter taste.

Seeing the girl's tangled and distorted little face, Xie Wenan put the two mountain dates into the girl's hand like a trick.

"Sister Qing, rinse your mouth first, and then eat this mountain date, and your mouth will not be bitter."

"Thank you, Dad!" Xie Yiqing took a big sip of water from the water bowl handed over by her father, and after rinsing her mouth, she felt that she was alive again.

"Let's eat the dates! It's not bitter in the mouth. Xie Wenan urged her daughter to quickly put the mountain dates in her mouth, which could suppress the bitter medicinal taste in her mouth.

"Dad, this mountain date is still left to my mother and Yilin! I don't like to eat mountain dates. ”

The girl's words made Xie Wen's heart sour. The conditions at home are limited, and every time Tong and Yilin take medicine, they are frowning. Especially when Yilin was a child, he had to cry every time he took medicine.

You don't need to ask why Yilin is crying, the bitter smell of medicine in your mouth is something that adults may not be able to bear, not to mention that Yilin is still so small.

But there was no extra money at home, so they bought candy and sweet fruits for their mothers.

Later, Sister Qing came up with a way, which was to go up the mountain to pick some wild fruits, whether sour or sweet, as long as it was a fruit that could be eaten, Sister Qing would pick it home.

In Sister Qing'er's opinion, even a sour mountain jujube tastes much better than a bitter medicinal juice.

In this way, after Tong and Yilin finished taking the medicine, they would have one or two mountain dates in their mouths, so that they could suppress the bitter taste in their mouths.

Since then, this mountain jujube can not only suppress the bitter taste in the mouth, but also become one of the few snacks in Yilin.

Now, it is early summer, and there are not many mountain dates picked in autumn and winter last year, and there are not many at home, Xie Yiqing wants to leave them for her mother and younger brother, so she finds an excuse not to eat them.

Looking at the sensible girl, Xie Wenan's eyes moistened.

Since Rong Niang gave birth to Yilin, Sister Qing, who was only eight years old at the time, seemed to have grown up overnight.

Yilin, which was born early, is not much bigger than a cat. The younger sister-in-law Han threw Yilin away with a disgusted face, not to say that Yilin couldn't survive and stayed at home.

At that time, the Liu family was shaken, but Sister Qing'er, who had always been well-behaved and sensible and had never spoken loudly, was angry, pointing at the Han family and asking loudly:

"If it weren't for you throwing water in the yard in the winter, my mother wouldn't have stepped on the ice and fell, let alone given birth prematurely. You want to throw my brother again now, and your conscience has let the dog eat it? ”

At that time, everyone present was stunned, and Han was even more angry that he couldn't shake Sister Qing'er two big slaps.

But in front of everyone, she didn't dare, she knew that Sister Qing was the eyeball of the eldest of the Xie family. is his own in-laws, and they also take a look at Sister Qing. If she dares to touch Sister Qing'er with a finger in front of someone, her in-laws and eldest brother will not let her go.

Therefore, she can only threaten not to listen to her, and don't want her to help.

Then, she glared at Sister Qing hatefully and went back to her room.

Sister Qing was not afraid of her threat, and at a young age, she took over the matter of taking care of Yilin.

Sister Qing, who is only eight years old, knows how to take care of children, she is still a child herself. But she didn't understand something, so she asked her grandmother, and with the help of her grandmother and father, she raised Yilin, who was a little bigger than the cat.

"Dad, I'm fine, you should go and rest early! I'm going to school tomorrow. ”

"But ......."

"Dad, if there's something, I'll call you."

"Alright! Then Daddy went to rest, and Daddy wouldn't close the doors of the two rooms, and if you had something, you would call Daddy. ”

"Hmm."

Xie Wenan helped Yilin lay out the futon, and helped Yilin take off the coat outside, and waited for him to get into the quilt before withdrawing. Out of the door of the south house, Xie Wenan thought about it again and went to the upper room.

After a while, Liu Shi hid the tiredness on his face and walked in with a gong bucket.

"Sister Qing, it's convenient and convenient for milk to help you."

"Hey!" Xie Yiqing was already miserable, but she endured it. At this time, Liu came in with a gong bucket, which was simply a big savior. Otherwise, Xie Yiqing was afraid that she would become the first living person in history to be suffocated by urine.

Fortunately, Xie Yiqing's body is slender, and it is not difficult for Liu to support her. With Liu's help, Xie Yiqing finally discharged the excess water in her body, not to mention how comfortable it was.

After Xie Yiqing was convenient, Liu helped her lie down again. Liu asked the sister and brother again, "Is there anything else?" After hearing the two siblings answer no, they blew out the oil lamp and went out.

After half a cup of tea, Xie Wenan came back from the upper room. Chained to the front door, stood at the door of the south house where the sister and brother lived, listened, and then went back to the north room.
