Chapter Twenty-Five: The Sugar Water Stall

The two children coughed a few times occasionally, and the mothers were distressed for a long time.

After comforting them a few words, Chungui said: "Aunts, I stewed some bone broth today, the family eats noodles, and there are just some left, and the two children estimate that they don't eat much like little gold, so let's eat a bowl of bone soup noodles here." ”

The two of them were a little embarrassed, they both followed the spring to return to the root of the tongue, and they didn't expect this child to be kind-hearted now. At this time, both of them were a little ashamed, especially the people of the Cheng family, and said again and again: "This Qi You is blessed to have you to take care of him!" ”

Chungui only smiled when he heard this.

"These two children have a bad cough, and I think they have a poor foundation."

When the Cheng family heard this, they immediately said with a bitter face: "Li Langzhong also said the same, but our poor family has only experienced a major drought, where does the money come from to often stew meat soup for the children." ”

Chungui looked at Daddy Li, not to mention ordinary people, it is impossible for an old man like Daddy Li to sell land and buy rice for his little grandson to let his children eat meat at once, isn't their family also trying to save money, eating and drinking.

It's just that she, a modern person, has taken advantage of the times, and knows that this cheap big bone is also a good thing to nourish the body.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said: "Grandpa Li, two aunts, I won't tell you, I heard a doctor from You Fang when I was a child, this big bone stew soup is much better than eating meat, especially for a child like Zhiping who is growing up, drink it every few days, not to mention that his body is strong and strong, and he can still jump tall." ”

The two women were suspicious: "This bone has no meat at all, and the stew smells of blood and water, can it be useful?" ”

Chungui quipped: "Auntie, it's useless, you won't know if you drink it, the big bones don't cost a few pennies, I bought half a basket and spent five cents, and that half a basket of bones is enough for our family to stew several times of soup." ”

"As for the smell of blood and water, when the water is boiled, you can get rid of it by putting a few slices of ginger and a few peppercorns, although these two are medicinal materials, but the amount of soup to buy a few meals is less than 20 yuan, which is already very cost-effective."

Afraid that they still wouldn't believe it, she said and pulled Zhiping Zhimin, who was waiting obediently: "Auntie, my family has never broken bone broth since the drought, and I have eaten the bones for a total of ten cents now. ”

Everyone has an impression of the appearance of the Liu family's lonely and thin face on the day of the grain release, but in less than three months, several children have fair faces and beautiful appearances, and the two women reached out and touched the two small ones together, Zhiping's arms were fleshy, and Zhimin also grew flesh.

"Even Qi You injured his leg, and those days were full of bone broth, and now he is fine."

The two looked at each other, and they already believed most of it.

Chungui looked at the sky outside, and asked her to leave people later, thinking about the sleep of several children, so he simply asked them to enter the room, Zhiping was lying in the room, and Zhixing took him away.

Qi You glanced at her, and then looked at the two people sitting opposite holding the child, now that his legs are complete, he was a little hesitant to go in front of everyone, Chungui only nodded at him, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and entered the room without making a sound.

One of them looked at the two small backs and said enviously: "A few of your family drink ginger tea and bone broth, no wonder this body has such strong bones, Qi You's legs and feet are almost better, or the spring return girl will take care of people." ”

Chungui only smiled lightly.

The man looked at the empty bowl that was left to drink: "The grass vine fruit in the ginger tea is very useful, and with so many ginger pieces, it is not spicy to drink." ”

"Spring girl, I haven't seen the fruit of this grass vine, where did you come from?"

Chungui smiled slightly, a few children were not there, it didn't matter what she said: "Auntie, this is what I found when I was looking for wild vegetables in the mountains during the great drought, and it was originally used to satisfy my stomach. ”

She smiled and sighed: "At that time, just after the drought, I was always afraid that there would be no food, so Qi You helped me uproot the grass and vines on the mountain, and I planted them in the yard." Recently, I also felt spicy when I drank ginger soup, and it happened that this grass vine fruit had a sweet taste, so I thought maybe I could suppress the spicy taste of ginger tea, and I tried it today, and it was really like this. ”

Speaking of the drought, several people had a bitter face, and then looked at the Liu family, and sighed.

"Fortunately, you are clever, and this big family has been pulled up by you."

Chungui smiled and pulled the topic back again: "I'm going to cook the noodles, Grandpa Li, you wait a while, I'll fill you with ginger tea and bone broth." ”

Father Li nodded hurriedly: "Hey, it's good to have less, the little third son can't eat much." ”

When spring returned, he turned his head and filled two cans, one can of bone broth and ginger tea, and two sweet potatoes, and sent them to Daddy Li.

"Grandpa, I was going to go to your place today to tell you about the benefits of this bone broth, but it just so happened that you came today." Chungui said seriously: "Zhiyuan's body bones are weaker than ordinary children, let him drink this bone broth every two days, and put some radishes or vegetables." If the stomach is not good, eat more pasta, chew it slowly, and raise it like this for a year or two, and the foundation of the previous deficit can be made up for somewhat. ”

There were too many things, so she directly took a basket and put it on and continued: "You can steam these two grass vine fruits for him, and when they are ripe, they will be peeled and eaten." ”

This full basket made Daddy Li's eyes red again, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

The two people on the side were a little uncomfortable when they saw it, but this person still had to look at it himself to distinguish it, and he listened to how many words others heard and heard wrongly. This girl of the Liu family is a good child in the end, she can be in charge of the house, and she is kind-hearted.

I think it is also Qi You's creation.

After Chungui sent Daddy Li away, he went into the kitchen to cook noodles, and it didn't take long to bring two bowls out, but he didn't expect that as soon as he lifted the curtain in the kitchen, Liu Jiawang ran out of the room and shouted: "Chungui girl!" Descended, descended! ”

He looked happy and hurriedly pointed inside: "The heat of the little gold has dropped!" I also sweated and changed my clothes! ”

Chungui hurriedly put down the bowl: "The two aunts feed the children first, I'll go in and take a look!" ”

The two of them were also excited: "Hey, you hurry up!" "I only fed a bowl of ginger tea and wiped some wine, and it took a long time for the heat to drop, this girl is really amazing! Looking at the two bowls of noodles on the table, the two of them looked at each other, and hurriedly served a bowl each and began to feed the children.

Liu Jiawang is young in the end, the first time he was a father, he almost cried when the child was safe, and while thanking him for returning to the spring, he wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Sister, thank you so much, this little thing has been tossed for so long, and his mother and I are almost haggard." ”

Chungui smiled: "It's okay, it's a common thing for children to get sick, and it's a lively one to raise the foundation." Saying that, she waved her hand to Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law, who was about to stand up and thank her, and stopped it, and leaned over and touched Xiao Jinzi's forehead.

Seeing that it was the return of spring, Xiao Jinzi grinned with his round eyes.

Chungui also smiled, turned around and said: "Sister-in-law, if you don't worry, you will leave people here today, if you don't worry, I will give you a floor vigil, just after the fever has subsided, it is not good to go out to blow the wind." ”

"There is also a bowl of bone soup noodles in the kitchen, you feed Xiao Jinzi to eat to nourish your strength, and take it back early tomorrow morning."

The couple was excited and happy: "Okay, everyone listens to you!" ”

Chungui told the couple about the method of just raising his body, and unlike the two aunts outside, what did Chungui say, the couple nodded in agreement, and believed in Chungui's words.

After saying that, Chun Hui temporarily laid the ground for them and laid a thick mattress, otherwise the small ones were finally healed, and the big ones were sick again.

Liu Jiawang went back to the village chief to report the news, and the two aunts each took a piece of ginger and half a bag of brown sugar and left.

The night was over for a long time.

The second day before dawn, I got up and boiled a new pot of sweet potato ginger tea, cut the four sweet potatoes in half and steamed them, and used the remaining bowl of bone broth to cook brown rice porridge.

After doing this, he stayed alone in front of the stove in a daze.

These days, there are not a few sick children in the village, and this kind of weather, and young children, are the most susceptible to typhoid fever. Didn't she think of raising them like this just to know the bones of their bodies?

"Alas......."

"What is Sister Chun sighing for?"

Chun Gui subconsciously raised his head, and Qi You was also learning from her to squat, looking at her with blazing eyes.

"Why are you up so early?"

Qi You turned his head and took two small stools, one handed it to her, and the other sat down, picked up the spoon and opened the pot to stir the porridge inside, his eyes were clear, but his voice was low and confused with not waking up: "Every time Sister Huichun stews porridge with bone broth, I can smell it in the next room." ”

Chun Gui was stunned, and he laughed again.

"Hey, I just like to listen to you, unlike Zhixing's kid, who is honest and has a hippie smile."

Qi You stirred the porridge and turned his head again: "What is Sister Chun thinking?" ”

Chungui smiled, and after being silent for a long time, he looked up at him: "Qi You, how about I set up a sugar water stall in front of our house?" ”

She made up her mind to plant sweet potatoes, and her initial idea was just to let the children in the family eat sweet potato syrup, but after last night's incident, she had the heart to do more.

There are so many children in the village, in this era of sickness, what role can her sweet potato ginger tea do. What's more, after last night, the name of this ginger tea will definitely spread all over the village, and she can still earn some money by setting up this stall.

Liujia is at the entrance of the village, not far from the east of the village is Tianshui Village, west is the Cai family's home, Caijia Village, and south is Chengjia Village. Their house happens to be in the center of the four villages, and there is a stall at the door, and the people in the villages in all directions can walk a few steps to it.

Qi You didn't answer her.

"Sister Chun....... Want to go to town? "Or something bigger.

Qi You looked at her and said slowly, the second half of the sentence choked in his throat.
