Chapter 40: The Crow's Beak

"Mother?" Chen Yaolai supported Aunt Xu with his hand, looked at her face, and asked, "Do you feel better now?"

"It's much better!" Aunt Xu nodded, then coughed again, and said, "It's just that the legs and feet are still a little unfavorable."

"Hurry up..."Chen Yaolai hurriedly found a gazebo to rest, and the mother and son sat down along the chairs.

"Mother!" Chen Yaolai naturally buried his head in Aunt Xu's arms.

Seeing that her face was obviously much better than before, not only her cheeks were rosy and shiny, but her lips were not as white and chapped as before.

This serious illness also made her lose a lot of weight.

As the so-called misfortune and blessing rely on, after a serious illness, the body is much slimmer than before, fortunately Wu Changgu's panacea conditioning, now not only the body used to be much stronger, but even the appearance is much better than before.

"Mother...."Chen Yao said: "These days, my mother is really hard!"

"Where are you talking about it, come from afar! Mother is not bitter, how can you go to 'Shou'an Hall' to get medicine and work hard, hey... It's all because your father and I don't have the ability, I personally got sick, and I asked you two to go on an adventure. Hey..."

"Don't say that, it's not easy for you and your father, you used to be young, you took care of us, and now that we have grown up, it is natural to honor you..."

"Look at my mother's mouth, how can I say something like that, after all, we are a family, as the saying goes, 'a family doesn't speak two words'" As she spoke, she gently slapped her mouth twice and said, "It really should be beaten, it should be beaten!"

"Mother...."

"Hehe, mother, this is actually happy, happy!"

"In the past few days when my mother was sick, I had to drink some bitter decoction almost every day, and I had to avoid it, saying that I couldn't eat it, and I couldn't eat it, I could only watch it, but it couldn't help much!" Chen Yaolai couldn't help but cry when he thought about the painful expression on Aunt Xu's face when she was sick before.

But thinking that he couldn't let his mother worry, he forcibly held back the tears in his eyes and didn't let the tears fall out, but no matter how he couldn't bear it, he couldn't control it, and finally cried out bitterly.

"Come from afar! Niang is not hard, as long as she can cure her mother's illness, she is not afraid of eating too much bitterness!" Aunt Xu gently patted his back with her hand, and comforted: "Don't cry from afar, don't cry from afar!"

Panicked, Chen Yaolai quickly stood up.

He wiped his eyes with his hands and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Aunt Xu smiled: "Something stuck in my throat just now, but it's okay, it's all down now"

"Mother is really a big hero" Chen Yao came to see her mother, and when she saw that she was really fine, he lay down in her arms again, and whispered: "You can eat so much bitter medicine without crying, but you are so brave! If it were me, I would have been scared to cry!"

"Manly, how can you cry your nose at every turn?" said Aunt Xu.

"Well, my mother is right! I'm grown up now, I can't cry!" Chen Yaolai said with a smile.

"This is a good boy, and Niang is not a big hero!"

"Not a hero?" Chen Yaolai blinked and asked in surprise, "What is that mother?"

"Fool, just like your father!" Aunt Xu snorted and laughed: "If you want to praise a woman for her bravery, you can't say that she is a hero!"

"My father?" Chen Yaolai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my father?"

"It's nothing..."Aunt Xu realized that the big 'father' he was talking about was not the current Chen Dafu, but his biological father Nie Pan.

"Then how can you praise a woman for being good?"

"Only a man can be called a hero, not a woman!"

"Oh, I see!" Chen Yaolai nodded again and again, and then muttered quietly.

Because the voice was too small to hear what he was saying, Aunt Xu asked curiously, "Come afar! What are you muttering in a low voice?"

"Mother, the child just heard you say that only men can be called heroes, so I remembered that old man who often called me a little hero!

"People's hearts are separated from their stomachs!" Aunt Xu sighed and said: "You have to keep an eye on everything, and you must protect yourself."

"Mother reminds me!" Chen Yaolai nodded and said with a serious face: "The child must keep his mother's words in mind!

Aunt Xu said 'um', and with some strength with both hands, she hugged her son tighter.

I don't know when, Chen Yaolai said to Aunt Xu seriously: "My mother is the most beautiful and beautiful 'woman' heroine!"

"Come from afar! you!" Aunt Xu only felt that her cheeks were red, and she didn't know what to say, but she gently stroked Chen Yao's head with her hand, recalling that when she first saw this child, her small eyes, small mouth, and smiled at herself, and she burst into tears, and then tears fell down her cheeks on both sides to her son's head.

"It's raining, it's raining!" Chen Yaolai quickly stood up, raised his hand above his head to cover the top of his head, and shouted, "Mother, it's raining?"

"Silly boy!" Aunt Xu looked at him, shook her head, pointed to the outside of the pavilion with her finger, and said, "Look at this blue sky and white clouds, where does it look like it's going to rain?!"

Chen Yaolai looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, although there was no direct sunlight outside, it was also a blue sky, and it didn't look like it was going to rain at all.

"Then why do I feel wet on my head?" Chen Yao said and touched his head with his hand, and said to himself: "Strange! There was obviously a ..... just now."

"It's strange!" he said, sitting down in front of his mother again.

Aunt Xu suddenly felt a sour nose, and quickly hugged her son in her arms again, forcibly holding back the tears in her eyes so that the tears in her eyes did not fall, and screamed several times "silly child, silly child".

Chen Yaolai didn't ask much, just buried quietly in his mother's arms and fell asleep quietly.

I don't know how long it was, Chen Dafu sat next to Aunt Xu, looked at Chen Yaolai in her arms, and said, "Is your illness better?"

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Can't you see this, don't you see that the old lady is different from before now?"

"Ah!" Chen Dafu was surprised and said, "It's really not the same as before!"

"That's!" Aunt Xu glanced at him and continued to ask, "What's the difference?"

"Lose weight!" Chen Dafu blurted out directly without thinking about it.

"You still need to say this! I haven't eaten or drunk for a long time! It's strange if I'm not thin" Aunt Xu looked at him with wide eyes, and said: "In addition to feeling that I have lost weight, what else have you discovered?"

"This.." Chen Dafu stood up, opened his eyes wide, looked Aunt Xu up and down carefully, and said, "Except for the loss, there is no other change."

"Hmph!" Aunt Xu glanced at him and scolded: "Okay, you Chen Dafu, it turns out that you never cared about me on weekdays!"

Seeing this, Chen Dafu smiled bitterly and said, "What! What do you want to say?"

"Hey.." Aunt Xu sighed softly and said, "That's it, that's it!" looked around and asked, "By the way, where did Xiaofu go?"

"This.." Chen Dafu scratched his head, pointed to Chen Yaolai, who was lying in Aunt Xu's arms, and said, "Maybe this kid knows where to go!"

"Well, then let's ask again when Yao Lai wakes up in a while!" As soon as Aunt Xu finished speaking, Chen Yaolai got up from her arms.

Chen Yaolai yawned, nodded at Chen Dafu with sleepy eyes, and said, "Dad!"

"Where did your eldest brother go?" Chen Dafu asked.

"Big brother!" Chen Yaolai looked at him with a surprised face and said, "I got up early in the morning, and my eldest brother was gone, I thought he was with you at that time!"

Chen Dafu said: "In the morning, I saw that there were people fishing on the river outside, so I went out to join in the fun!

Aunt Xu looked at him and said, "Nothing will happen to the child, right?!"

"Crow's mouth, how could something happen to my son?
