Chapter 275: Brown Sugar Water
Chen Da listened to Amy's words, and felt some guilt in his heart, before he came, he thought that Amy just wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail them for some money, but he didn't expect his wife to do so much.
"Comrade Amy, my uncle is here to apologize to you on behalf of your aunt, I didn't know that she did so much today, what is she doing now, Aunt Wang? It's not a big deal! ”
Chen Da rubbed his hands and looked sorry.
Amy raised her hand to wipe the tears left on her face, lowered her head to organize her words, looked up at him and said:
"Grandma Wang shouldn't be a big deal, but she fainted from anger, and she had a high fever for a while in the afternoon, and she is much better now after drinking the medicine prescribed by the doctor."
"Then, it's really troublesome for you, I will go back and talk about my family, and I will not let her come to your house to make trouble in the future."
The man's expression was still the same as before, and through the light from the kerosene lamp, Amy could see that his face had more wrinkles and furrows than his peers in the village.
Amy suddenly felt a little sad, the man in front of him should have been honest all his life, but he just met such a wonderful daughter-in-law and son, what if ......
"Comrade Amy, the money has been sent to you, so I'll leave first."
Chen Da's voice interrupted her thinking, thinking of what she had just been melancholy, Amy shook her head slightly and smiled, she didn't expect that she would be so sentimental one day.
"Okay, uncle, slow down on the way back, I'll send you out with the kerosene lamp!"
As she spoke, she lifted the kerosene lamp on the table, walked up to Chen Da, opened the door and walked out.
After sending the people away, Amy went back just when Minke was returning to the house with food.
Seeing that she didn't wear her gown, she ran out with a big grin, and Ming Ke said unhappily:
"Why didn't you come out without wearing any clothes, aren't you afraid that your wounds will get worse?"
Amy waved her hand, not at all worried about what he said:
"Anla, Anla, where am I as fragile as you say, and the wound will be serious when you blow the wind."
As the two were talking, they returned to the house, and at this time, Grandma Wang had woken up and was sitting at the table, placing the dishes and chopsticks that Niuniu had put on the table.
Amy saw it, and hurriedly ran to the edge of the kang, leaned out, stretched out her arm and snatched the tableware in Grandma Wang's hand:
"Grandma, what are you doing here? If you finally get better, you should lie in bed and rest more, how can you work? ”
"Oh, give me chopsticks, I'm going to get it ready soon, besides, what is this thing! I've been lying on the kang for a few days and calling you and Mingke, just put a chopstick now, where is the work? ”
Grandma Wang was a little unhappy, but because she had just woken up, her body was still a little soft, and she didn't have so much strength to snatch things from Amy's hands.
Amy saw that her old man was unhappy, and coaxed her while placing the chopsticks in her hand:
"Grandma, don't be angry! I'm also good for you, you've slept for so long, Niuniu doesn't know how worried, such a naughty little doll didn't go out for a while this afternoon, just sitting next to you and guarding you. Even if you don't think about me, you have to think about Niu Niu, don't you? ”
"Alas! Well, I can't say anything about you. ”
Having said that, hearing that her granddaughter had been guarding her at home for an afternoon, Grandma Wang was moved and distressed in her heart, and stretched out her hand to hold Niuniu and let her sit on her lap.
Niuniu pushed Grandma Wang away, raised her head and looked at her milk, and said in a milky voice:
"Grandma, I'm grown up now, and my body has become heavier, I can't sit on top of you like before anymore, it will crush you."
"My Niu Niu has really grown up."
Grandma Wang reached out and touched her little head, looking relieved.
Soon, a few people finished dinner, Minke helped finish the dishes and got up to go home, and Amy went outside to see him off.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, Ming Ke stopped, turned to look at Amy, who had not yet stepped out of the courtyard gate, and said:
"You go back first, I'll tell Zhou Yize when I go back, let him take a day off tomorrow to take care of Grandma Wang and Niuniu."
"What about us? What do we do? ”
After listening to Mingke's words, Amy was a little puzzled, taking care of Grandma Wang was done by someone else, so what did she do! Should she be allowed to go to work, a patient with an arm injury that has not yet healed, and work in the fields?
Mingke stretched out his finger and tapped her head lightly, his tone full of contempt:
"Of course you and I are going to the town tomorrow to bandage your wounds, have you forgotten what happened at noon today? Or do you want your own arm? ”
Amy looked up and rubbed her forehead, muttering quietly:
"Talk as you speak, why hit me at every turn!"
"It's not stupid to beat you, and if you don't beat you, you'll forget more and more quickly."
Mingke heard what she said, and looked at her with one hand in his pocket and a smile on his lips.
Hearing this, Amy was a little unconvinced, but she didn't refute it, raised her head and looked at him quietly, slowly recalling what she wanted to say just now.
Ming Ke saw her affectionate face (in fact, people were in a daze), and thought that she wanted to confess herself, so she coughed twice uncomfortably, turned her cheeks, and looked away, but she was expecting what she would say to herself.
After thinking about it for a while, Amy thought of what she was going to say and screamed:
"I remembered, Ming Ke, you said that you would ask Team Leader Zhou to help us take care of Grandma Wang, but if this is the case, will it be troublesome to others, otherwise, I will go to the hospital alone tomorrow, you watch Grandma Wang and Niuniu at home, and you will not have to talk to others."
Ming Ke didn't expect her to say such a thing, he was really choked, and raised his head to look at her fixedly.
"What's wrong? Why do you look at me like that. ”
Amy was a little suspicious when she saw him looking at herself like this.
"Don't you have anything else to say to me?"
Ming Ke still didn't give up, his eyes were full of expectation.
Amy thought about it for a moment, as if she didn't have anything to say to him, so she shook her head sincerely.
Ming Ke was particularly disappointed, and thought that she would say something affectionate to herself, but she didn't expect it to be said for that Zhou Yize.
Although he knew that she didn't have any special feelings for Zhou Yize, and although he knew that she only mentioned Zhou Yize when she went out to be polite, he was still so angry, as if he had beaten someone, what should I do?
"Okay, I know, you can go back and rest quickly, it's been a busy day today, you must be very tired!"
No matter how disappointed he was, Ming Ke still knew that he couldn't lose his temper with his daughter-in-law, and he tried his best to behave no different from before.
Sure enough, Amy didn't notice that Ming Ke was unhappy, she raised her head, she was indeed a little tired, so she nodded at Ming Ke and turned back.
When Ming Ke returned home, Zhou Yize not only opened his own bedding roll, but also opened his own by the way, which means that he doesn't have to do anything now, he can sleep beautifully by soaking his feet.
Zhou Yize didn't expect that his small move would avoid Ming Ke's poisonous tongue.
He fetched a basin of water, sat on the edge of the kang and put his feet into the basin, inadvertently glanced at the person who was already lying in the bed, and asked:
"Do you have something to do tomorrow?"
Zhou Yize blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and said truthfully:
"Originally, I was going to the foot of the mountain, but Grandma Wang is not sick these days, Uncle Yan said, I want a few of us young people to help Grandma Wang get land."
"Can I take a leave of absence?"
"Uh...... It shouldn't be, the farmers in the field are really busy these days, and I still have a large area there that has not been harvested, alas, I really want to break one person into two these days......"
Because Amy, Grandma Wang, and Ming Ke all took leave, and there was a serious shortage of manpower for the harvesting tasks in the field, Zhou Yize, who had always been diligent, also had some complaints.
In order to complete the work in the field, his daily reading time has been greatly reduced. If he continued like this, he felt that he was about to return what he had learned to his books.
Listening to Zhou Yize's complaints, Ming Ke also stopped thinking about letting him help take care of the elderly and children.
The next day, Amy got up early, originally thinking that she would not alarm Grandma Wang and go to Mingke by herself, but when she walked to the room where Grandma Wang slept with them, she heard a few coughs, and quickly pushed open the door and walked in.
I saw that Grandma Wang, who was supposed to be sleeping on the kang, was sitting on the kang with a gown with several patches, covering her mouth with a handkerchief in one hand and coughing constantly.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man turned his face to look at Amy, coughed heavily a few times and asked:
"Mi! Why are you here, is it my coughing sound that woke you up, cough, cough, cough. ”
Amy walked up and patted her on the back with her hand:
"Grandma, you think too much, we live in two rooms, you cough in this room, how can you make a noise to me. I was hit on the arm by Aunt Chen with a cane yesterday, Ming Ke couldn't rest assured, he had to take me to the hospital for a checkup, no, I got up early today, and I passed by your house and heard that you were coughing, so I came in to take a look. ”
"Ahem, cough, I, cough, cough, it's okay, cough, it's old, it's sick, cough, it's estimated that it was last night, I didn't cover the quilt, and today this cough is, cough, it's a crime."
Grandma Wang covered her mouth with both hands and coughed constantly.
Amy patted her on the back, and kept patting it, but it didn't work at all.
She was a little anxious, looked around, and suddenly remembered the brown sugar that Ming Ke bought from the town a few days ago, and said something to Grandma Wang, hurriedly ran out, went to her house to get it, and used the big white enamel jar on the cabinet to make a cup of brown sugar water.
"Grandma, I made you a glass of brown sugar water, it's still a little hot, wait a while, let it cool, let's drink a few sips and it will be better."
Amy sat back down beside the old man and patted him on the back with her hand.
