When Zhao Lele returned home, Qian Manzhi asked a few words about the exam, and Zhao Shuxin listened on the side. She said that the test was okay, and the scores would have to wait for a while before they came out, so the couple didn't say more. There haven't been any secondary school students in the village for so many years, although the girl's grades are okay, they don't dare to have extra ideas, and it is not easy to jump out of the farm.

Zhao Lele is happy, she doesn't want to be asked about her grades every day, and she doesn't know the bottom of her heart until the results come out. No one else in the village knew about her exams, and everyone only went home to farm and get married after she graduated from junior high school, which was a little less stressful.

Zhao Lele wanted to work in the field, but Qian Manzhi disagreed, and only let her stay at home to do housework.

"You are a little girl, you are exposed to the sun every day, and you don't look good when you tan, but your father and I can do the work in the field." Qian Manzhi sat under the eaves and peeled soybeans.

"Dad's health is not good, he is still drinking Chinese medicine, and I will go to the field after finishing the work at home." Zhao Lele also sat on the small bench, and the mother and daughter peeled fresh soybeans together, and were ready to fry them after peeling.

When it came to Zhao Shuxin's body, Qian Manzhi didn't say anything against it, now that there is not much work in the field, she can still be busy, and when the double robbery starts, she will feel sorry for her daughter, and she has to let Zhao Lele work in the field.

Zhao Shuxin's body has not improved, he has not eaten well or slept well in recent times, and he has seen his body gradually losing weight, Qian Manzhi is anxious in his eyes, but there is no good way.

Zhao Shuxin himself didn't feel that there was anything wrong, he thought that his lack of appetite was because he took Chinese medicine every day to ruin his appetite, and when he was well, he would stop taking medicine, and his food would recover.

Zhao Shuxin believes in traditional Chinese medicine very much, and he has always resisted going to the county hospital after taking the Western medicine at home. It was useless for anyone in the family to persuade him, and Zhao Lele also persuaded him after returning home, and he was also scolded by him.

Zhao Lele felt uncomfortable in her heart, but there was no good way, she didn't know Zhao Shuxin's actual condition, she only thought that he was drinking medicine for stomach problems, this is the unified statement of the couple.

This can also coax Zhao Lele, she has been studying in school, and she rarely appears in the village, and she doesn't even have a little sister who can talk and chat, so she doesn't know the rumors outside.

Zhao Shuxin told his parents about his illness, and Zhao Shuli's family also knew that his illness had long been not a secret, and it had long spread in the village, so Zhao Lele would be stupid to believe that it was a stomach problem.

Zhao Lele persuaded him not to listen to his parents, and felt that stomach disease was not a serious disease, and it was okay to drink Chinese medicine slowly to maintain health and cure diseases. She is not wrong to think so, but the fault is that Zhao Shuxin concealed her true illness.

In summer, the sky dawns very early, before six o'clock in the east, and the sun shows its head early.

In the early summer morning, with a hint of coolness, Zhao Lele was cooking breakfast in the kitchen in a long coat and trousers. She was in a hurry to cook the rice and go to the fields to help, and her parents opened their eyes and went to work in the fields, leaving her alone at home to cook, wash and clean.

On the way home, she met many villagers, many of whom boasted of her ability and beauty.

Qian Manzhi replied modestly, shirking the people who wanted to pull her to chat, the purpose of these people was not simple, they were all coming to Zhao Lele.

Qian Manzhi endured it until he went home before he spoke: "Lele, you should go to the field less in the future." ”

"Mom, why?" Zhao Lele asked while serving the food.

"You are also a big girl, many idlers in the village are staring at you and want to be a matchmaker for you, if you don't want to get married early, go outside less." Qian Manzhi never thought of letting her daughter marry early, she is such a girl, she must be chosen carefully.

"I'm not 18 yet." Zhao Lele protested loudly.

Qian Manzhi took a sip of porridge before saying: "You think 18 years old is still young, and there are no girls in the village who get married before the age of 18." You are 16 years old this year, you look at each other for a year, and then spend another year preparing for marriage, and you are exactly 18 years old to get married. ”

Zhao Shuxin sat at the dining table and ate silently, listening to the mother and daughter chatting by the way.

Zhao Lele didn't go to Chengdi in the end, and Qian Manzhi found a bunch of jobs at home for her to do.

Zhao Lele was locked up at home every day to do housework, and she also had to help Zhao Shuxin boil traditional Chinese medicine, and her appetite was greatly reduced when she smelled the smell of traditional Chinese medicine every day.

She didn't dare to think about how bitter the medicine Zhao Shuxin drank, so she could only hope that her father's illness would get better soon.

Zhao Shuxin's illness has become the most concerned thing for the family, but this topic can't be mentioned casually, he has been in a bad mood since he got sick, and he doesn't like to hear about his illness at home.

Qian Manzhi didn't dare to mention this matter more, the key was that she couldn't solve the problem by telling Zhao Lele, she could only carry all the problems alone.

Zhao Lele saw everything in her eyes, she knew that it was useless to be anxious, so she could only silently manage the affairs of the family and let her parents worry less.

With her working at home, Qian Manzhi does have a lot of peace of mind, she can at least work in the field with Zhao Shuxin every day, and the two of them are together when they finish work.

The husband and wife went in and out together, she didn't have to worry that Zhao Shuxin would be tired from working in the field alone, let alone secretly worrying that he would faint.

Qian Manzhi's worry was not superfluous, it was back when Zhao Shuxin didn't work in the field and said that he was dizzy, so frightened that she hurriedly helped him to go to the tree to rest, and when he eased up, she forced him to go home to rest.

Zhao Shuxin felt that Qian Manzhi was making a big deal, he felt that his body was fine, and the dizziness that day must have been a little uncomfortable because he didn't eat breakfast, and he usually didn't have anything to do.

"Dad, grandma said that Brother Xiao Ming came home today." Zhao Lele bit his chopsticks and said. She forgot what happened in school when she went home, and she didn't think that Zhao Xiaoming might be unlucky when she went home.

"You will go to your uncle's house later, your little brother Ming will come back today, you can send some eggs to replenish his body." Zhao Shuxin still cares about his nephew.

Qian Manzhi and Zhao Lele were both dissatisfied with Zhao Shuxin's approach, and they wanted to give eggs if they didn't have a birthday or a festival. After the hot weather, the chickens at home lay fewer and fewer eggs every day, and their own families are too few, and they have to give them away.

"Dad, Brother Xiao Ming has made up for everything after the exam, keep it for you to make up for your body!" Zhao Lele ignored Qian Manzhi's eyes, and said his objections directly.

"Don't be stingy, that's your cousin, your grandmother came over to say that if you want to give nothing, she must have an opinion." Zhao Shuxin patiently explained to his wife and daughter.

"Dad, why!" Zhao Lele was unhappy.

Zhao Shuxin is not a person with a good temper, and he does not allow Zhao Lele to challenge his parental authority: "Okay, let you take it!" ”

Zhao Lele lowered her head and kept rolling her eyes, not letting her speak, she used her actions to express her resistance, although in the end she still had to send the eggs over obediently.

Qian Manzhi pinched Zhao Lele's arm hard, forcing her to quickly admit her mistake and apologize, and not to talk back to her parents.

Zhao Lele was pinched so that tears rolled in her eyes, she raised her head and tried not to let the tears fall: "Dad, I was wrong." ”
