Chapter 53: The Disgusted Sanniang
Zhao Jing looked at her thoughtful eyes, afraid that she was too smart and thought too much, so he hurriedly put his chin against her cheek and repeated the old words: "If you like it, you will go to the county and buy it again in the future!" β
Qi Yunshu's face was itchy, and she lowered her head shyly and responded softly.
I don't know how Zhao Jing's temperament was cultivated, when he was serious, he was more serious than anyone else, and even a little pedantic, but when it came to love words, he was more powerful than the most beautiful modern love saint she had ever seen.
Even if she was a little unacceptable to him, she still couldn't control her heart beating for him.
She was slightly uneasy and hid to the side to change the topic: "Old Madam Yun's way is a good way, but I can't think about this anymore today, Mama Qin has already been here, if I come to the door with medicinal food again, it will inevitably seem too deliberate!" β
I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow!
The two put this matter aside for the time being, the ox cart just arrived, Zhao Jing thanked Dayuan and helped Qi Yunshu to get into the car, and he jumped up neatly and drove the car back.
On the road, the ox cart was blown by the wind, causing Zhao Jing to cough again and again.
At first, Qi Yunshu thought that he was blown out of breath by the wind, so she whispered to remind him to be careful, but after listening to the coughing sound and never stopped, she got up anxiously and patted him on the shoulder and said with concern: "Are you okay?" β
Seeing the undisguised concern on her face, Zhao Jing's heart moved slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the cough and shook his head: "I'm fine, I'm sick!" β
Because of his body heat and dry lungs, he often had a cough, so the people in the village thought he was suffering from tuberculosis and quietly called him a tuberculosis ghost behind his back.
But Qi Yunshu knew that he was not.
Lung disease is contagious, but his is not.
It's just strange that she has taken his pulse many times and still hasn't figured out what the root of his disease is, so she can only use medicine to relieve it, but she can't break the root.
Although Zhao Jing said that it was okay, Qi Yunshu was still not at ease, and as soon as he got home, he immediately took out the pill he had prepared before, boiled boiling water and let him take one.
After a breath, Zhao Jing's coughing stopped. She carefully packed up the cyan porcelain vase and handed it to Zhao Jing.
"It's ......"
"Your medicine, take one if you cough in the future." She saw that Zhao Jing was sick from time to time, and every time he got sick, he was menacing, and now she was spending time, so she specially took the time to boil these pills for him.
Take one when you get sick, and most of the medicine is a kind of mint and coptis that is cool and anti-inflammatory, which is very effective for the symptoms of lung fever!
Of course, what she is most afraid of is that he will get sick during the exam, which will affect his performance at that time.
Before the sun had completely set, she took the pot and warmed the wild vegetable cakes prepared in the evening and the packets of meat wrapped by Tian's back to the pot and ate them.
Zhao Jing was used to eating her craftsmanship, and as soon as he ate this mouthful of back pot meat, his brows moved almost invisibly.
Qi Yunshu knew that he had eaten the difference, and explained:
"This is done by Qiu Niang, she is very talented, I just pointed her out a few sentences casually, and now she can do it decently for the first time!"
Although the taste is not comparable to what she makes, it is normal, and in addition to talent, experience is also very important.
And the failed dishes made by Qiu Niang when she was learning art naturally couldn't be on the guest's table, but the amount was not small, so Tian divided half of it and brought her back to eat, so it was a meat dish!
"Eat more!" The two of them sandwiched each other's dishes, and the faint sunset still had the last trace of glow, shining on the faces of the two.
After eating, Qi Yunshu didn't have time to feel this lazy and beautiful time in spring, when she heard a low sob.
At this time, it was dark outside, and only a candle was lit in the room, illuminating this square inch of land, and she pulled Zhao Jing's sleeve a little nervously and motioned him to listen.
"It's the third sister!" Zhao Jing quickly distinguished, and pulled Zhao Sanniang out of the gap between the thatched house and the blue brick house.
Qi Yunshu saw Zhao Sanniang's face clearly by the faint candlelight: her cheeks were red and swollen, her eyes were red, the hands holding her were uneven, and she didn't use any force at all but listened to it and gasped.
She couldn't help but wonder: "Third sister, what are you doing?" "It's like being beaten to death.
"I ...... I'm fine, no ...... It's okay! Zhao Sanniang shrank her hand back, wanting to wipe her tears with the back of her hand and pretend to be fine, but she couldn't, the back of her hand was covered with blisters, and I was afraid that it would hurt if she moved slightly.
"Yike...... also said that it's okay, you are obviously burned, why are you so careless? Qi Yunshu saw at a glance that those shiny blisters should have been scalded by boiling water, and thought to herself that she had to do so much work every day, maybe she was accidentally scalded when boiling water.
As she spoke, she went into the house to get medicine for her, and smeared it on her distressedly: "Fortunately, there is still a surplus of the medicine we picked for your eldest brother last time!" β
Since they were separated, the Xu family did not allow people in their family to associate with them, and she spent all her savings for Zhao Dajia's affairs, and she also left a big lump in her heart, so she didn't ask again except for sending the herbs she picked.
I only heard that because I was willing to spend money to treat, I didn't recover badly!
She was a little distracted, and Zhao Sanniang retracted her hand: "Hiss......" It hurts.
Although the powder is cool, it is particularly painful to sprinkle it.
"Third sister, don't be afraid, you can't bear it...... This kind of injury came too late, and he should have come to me when he was just burning, maybe it wouldn't have been so serious! β
"It's ...... Is it serious? Zhao Sanniang swallowed.
She grew up with hardships, and she has long been accustomed to injuries and other things, and in the past, she gritted her teeth and suffered small injuries and pains.
It's just that this time the pain was so unbearable, and I didn't dare to cry in front of Xu's face, plus I was worried about the things I was carrying in my arms, so I wanted to endure the pain and send it over first, and if I was searched out by my sister-in-law when I turned around, her injury would be in vain.
Unexpectedly, the injury on her hand was too painful halfway through, and she couldn't stand it for a while, so she hid in the mezzanine and cried, which alarmed the two of them.
Qi Yunshu gently looked at her palm, and said distressedly: "Look at it, not only is there a blister now, but it will also take off a large piece of skin after a long time, and if it is serious, it is very likely to leave a scar!" β
Zhao Sanniang's face was numb, and her expression was sad: "If it can be cured, it will not hinder my work, and the one who does not leave a scar is second!" β
What could she do, a woman who had been abandoned at home, just to have a pair of healthy hands and not to hinder her from working!
"It's okay to have me, but it's too painful for you to be like this, so be careful in the future!" Qi Yunshu always thought that she was burning by herself, so she told her.
Zhao Sanniang's eyes flashed slightly, she opened her mouth and finally swallowed the words back, and took out a tarpaulin from her arms and wrapped it out.
"Today, I bought a lot of delicious food and came back, I was thinking about your money, and my sister-in-law scavenged it, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to eat, so I left you a small half of chicken ......."
Qi Yunshu was stunned, watching her endure the pain and touch the still steaming oil paper bag with her blistered hand, her eyes were hot, and she suddenly understood what was gently stroking her uninjured wrist.
"Isn't it...... Are your hands perm? β
Zhao Sanniang lowered her head and didn't speak, but such a look was enough in Qi Yunshu's eyesβit must be her!
"Forget it, she's a sister-in-law!" Zhao Sanniang is used to being bullied, and there is no wave in her heart.
"We don't have such a sister-in-law, she is simply ......" Qi Yunshu looked at her stubbornly, she didn't want to call Xu's sister-in-law for a long time!
"Third sister...... You're so stupid, don't leave anything for us anymore, I'm working in the town's restaurant now, and the shopkeeper treats me very well, and we have something to eat! β
"I know that you are a capable person, but the people of our Lao Zhao family can't always take other people's food, Lao Qi will be admitted to Xiucai sooner or later, we can't take other people's soft hands and eat other people's short mouths!"
Zhao Sanniang nervously defended that she had lived enough, but she thought that now Zhao Jingxiao and her family were the closest to her and the people who treated her sincerely, she was useless in this life, and she always wanted to do a little bit for them!
"Anyway, I ate a lot of food, and there is no ice cellar at home, and now that the weather is hot, I can't let it go, so I'll take some out...... The sister-in-law was not happy when she saw it! β
"So she splashed you with boiling water?" Zhao Jing sat next to him and listened without speaking, and only now did he talk.
"She's also ...... Impulsively, she regretted it after splashing! Zhao Sanniang lowered her head, with tears in her eyes, but she wanted to reassure the little couple in front of her, so she forced a smile with tears.
Listening to these simple and temperamentless words, Qi Yunshu had only one thought in her heart: she was so stupid, so stupid!
However, she was afraid that her heart would be uncomfortable and not conducive to the growth of the wound, so she didn't say anything ugly, but just rolled up her sleeve and advised: "I won't talk about how to get it now, but this hand is definitely not right to touch the water again, let alone move again, otherwise it will not only be a scar, it is likely to be wasted!" She deliberately said it seriously, for fear that Zhao Sanniang would be stupid and unself-conscious.
Zhao Sanniang was startled, she only felt that her hand hurt, she really didn't expect it to be so serious, so she stared at Qi Yunshu with some disbelief.
"Third sister, you have to believe the lady, she is a doctor and has always been very good at medical skills!" Zhao Jing helped. The fact that she could cure his illness was enumerated.
Zhao Sanniang absolutely believes in Zhao Jing, her younger brother has always been the most reliable in her heart, but thinking of her sister-in-law's temperament, she said a little weakly that if she doesn't do things, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be unhappy again.
"I'll go find her!" Zhao Jing stopped in front of her and walked towards the big blue brick house in the dark.
Zhao Sanniang didn't hold it up, and was persuaded back to the room by Qi Yunshu.
After a while, Xu's trademark loud voice sounded on the side of the big house.
"It's really a delicate one, if you boil boiling water and get scalded, you have to stop working like a lady, do you want me to offer you up like a female bodhisattva......"
No one accosted him, and Xu scolded himself.
During this period, Zhao Sanniang was very uneasy and twisted her body to rush back, she couldn't mess with her sister-in-law, otherwise she would be driven out by her every means, and she would become homeless.
She thought that the homeless appearance of those abandoned and childless lonely widows in Liuyun Mountain was so miserable that she felt uncomfortable even looking at them!
"Third sister, don't be afraid, don't go back to that home!" Qi Yunshu could see her thoughts from her trembling body movements.
She endured it again and again, cherishing her family, but she was more afraid that she would not be able to go back to that home.
She made up her mind and suddenly solemnly promised: "I think you will live with us in the future, as long as we have a tile to cover your body, there will definitely be a place for you to live!" As long as we have a bite to eat, you will never be hungry! β
There was a heavy shadow behind him, and Zhao Jing just stepped on her tail note to come in.
The two women in the room looked at him at the same time.
Zhao Sanniang had tearful and pitiful eyes, but Qi Yunshu was expecting to plead.
It was only after the promise that she remembered that she didn't seem to have a lot of say in this family, after all, she was just a stranger parasitic in Qi Yunniang's body, and it was Zhao Jing who was in charge.
Silence stood in the darkness, and the atmosphere was slightly tense.
Qi Yunshu was afraid that Zhao Jing would refuse, after all, they had been together for so long, and he had never revealed that he wanted to take Zhao Sanniang to live with them, so she stepped forward with some urgency and grabbed his hand and whispered: "Third sister will live with us, okay?" β
Zhao Jing's arm sank, and he nodded with a snort: "It's okay!" In fact, he once thought in his heart that Zhao Sanniang had treated him well since he was a child, and he wanted to make her live a better life, but he was afraid that his sick and weak body would not be able to take care of her, but would add a burden to her, and now that she agreed, what else did he have to worry about?
"I ...... I'd better go back! Big brother, I'm afraid my face won't look good! Zhao Sanniang thought that Zhao Jing was unhappy and didn't want to cause trouble for him.
"No, no, you just live with us!" Qi Yunshu pulled her back, directly took a broken quilt and drove Zhao Jing to live in the hall, and then placed Zhao Sanniang on her and Zhao Jing's bed.
Zhao Sanniang was probably very tired, so she fell asleep with the help of Su Zhi after washing up with a pillow.
Qi Yunshu looked at it next to her and sighed, it was the first time she saw such a poor person, it was really hard not to feel distressed!
Stretch your waist and walk out, Zhao Jin is still reading with candles in the hall, and when the exam is approaching, he is becoming more and more diligent.
Looking at him, she yawned and was about to go to sleep, but suddenly heard Zhao Jing calling her: "Lady!" β
"Huh?"
"Here's for you!" Zhao Jing put down the book and came over with a small silver object.
"What is this?" Qi Yunshu looked at the small and delicate silver lock in the palm of his hand.
Zhao Jin tugged at the copper key around her neck: "Don't you think this thing will be uncomfortable hanging on your neck, the last time I saw you sleeping, your neck was red, it would be better to wear this!" β
Zhao Jing said as he put it around her neck.
The bronze key, the size of a pinky fingernail, was perfectly hidden in the small silver lock.
If you don't look closely, you'll think she's wearing a silver lock.
Qi Yunshu looked at the small object that emitted silver light in the candlelight, and there was an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart, but he didn't catch it for a while.
What's wrong with Zhao Jing today, send earrings for a while, silver locks for a while, what does he want to do?
Zhao Jing was finally relieved, his eyes were shining,ββ That's good, no one except him would be able to easily know who she was!
