Chapter 40: Calculate the monthly money for you
Bai Qiu boiled the medicine in the kitchen, and then brought out a bowl and brought it to Shao Nanchu.
"Come, drink the medicine." Bai Qiuluo put the medicine bowl on the stool next to the bed and said.
Fang Fang's hands were a little hot when she was serving medicine in the kitchen, and she put her hands on her ears and squeezed them gently.
However, Shao Nanchu did not take the medicine obediently, but reached out and grabbed Bai Qiuluo's hand, with a slight force, Bai Qiuluo involuntarily threw himself on the bed and pressed on his body.
Bai Qiuluo subconsciously avoided his injured foot, propped his hand on his side, and then scolded: "What are you doing?" Aren't you afraid of hurting your feet again? ”
After the reprimand, he realized that her posture on top of him seemed to be a little ambiguous, and he blinked, "What are you holding me for?" Still not letting go? ”
Shao Nanchu's eyes were cold but profound, and his other hand was raised and fell on Bai Qiuluo's injured hand: "Are you injured?" Let me see. ”
"How do you know I'm hurt?" Bai Qiuluo was a little surprised.
Shao Nanchu's eyes fell on her hand indifferently, and he lifted her sleeve, and sure enough, he saw that her slender arm was wrapped in layers of white cloth, and blood was faintly oozing.
His eyes were well understood, and his thumb and fingertips unconsciously rubbed gently on the white cloth, "Does it hurt?" ”
I don't know if it's Bai Qiuluo's illusion, I always feel that his voice is a little hoarse, as if he is distressed.
Subconsciously shook his head: "It's okay, I've already taken medicine." ”
Seeing him staring directly at her injured arm, Bai Qiuluo was a little helpless, he knew that he shouldn't have coveted convenience and didn't tie his cuffs tightly.
After a while, Bai Qiuluo muttered, "That, can you let me go first?" If I press you like this, won't you feel bad? ”
"It doesn't matter."
Bai Qiuluo: "......"
Oh, even if you're not uncomfortable, I'm uncomfortable, my body is going to be numb.
Bai Qiuluo complained in his heart, and seeing that he didn't let go, he could only say softly: "My body is numb, a little uncomfortable, let me sit up and talk, okay?" ”
Shao Nanchu glanced at her, and then let go.
Bai Qiuluo straightened up and gently rubbed the numb parts of his body, and then looked at him with curiosity: "How did you find out that I was injured?" ”
She had obviously changed her clothes, and the wounds on her body had been carefully cleaned and bandaged, but she was afraid that the injury would be discovered by her father, and then she was distressed, and she should not let her go up the mountain when she turned around, but she didn't want to be discovered by him as soon as she entered the door.
"Your hands, and then you smell blood." Shao Nanchu pointed to her palm and spoke softly.
Naturally, he wouldn't tell her that he knew in advance from Jin Qing that she was injured.
Bai Qiuluo glanced down and found that the wound on his palm was bandaged, and the white cloth was exposed, which was indeed very easy to reminisce, and he was speechless.
"It was for me to collect medicine? You and I have never known each other in life, why are you so desperate? The man's eyes were clear, his expression was indifferent, and looking at her asking very seriously, Bai Qiuluo felt that he was a little overwhelmed.
"It's not a life of ignorance, after all, you saved my life, aren't you a friend of life? Besides, I promised to cure you, and I will definitely do it, and the injury caused by the medicine collection is also my own carelessness, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty, after all, even if it's not for you to collect medicine, I often bump and bump when I go up the mountain to collect medicine, and injuries are trivial. Bai Qiuluo was afraid that he would feel guilty, so he said busily.
Shao Nanchu's face was expressionless, but all kinds of feelings were surging in his heart, and it was difficult to speak.
After his mother's disappearance, no one had ever been so kind to him.
Bai Qiuluo noticed that his emotions seemed to be a little wrong, thinking that he was guilty, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he simply took the bowl, handed the medicine to him, and said, "Drink the medicine, you can get better sooner if you drink the medicine, and it won't be in vain for me to toss." ”
Shao Nanchu looked at her for a while, his lips moved slightly, he opened his mouth to hold the bowl in his mouth, and began to drink the medicine.
Bai Qiuluo was slightly stunned, oops, is there something wrong with the way this medicine is opened? Shouldn't he reach out and take it himself?
Such a thought flashed in his heart, but Bai Qiuluo didn't say anything in the end, and cooperated with him to drink the medicine.
After he finished drinking the medicine, Bai Qiuluo handed him a clean handkerchief and asked him to wipe his mouth.
Bai Qiuluo waited for him to finish drinking the medicine, then packed up his things and withdrew.
Shao Nanchu looked at the closed door for a long time, and then lowered his eyes and looked indifferent.
Because of the injury on her hand, Bai Qiuluo was counted down by the Chen family for a long time, until Bai Qiuluo repeatedly assured that she just accidentally fell and broke the palm of her hand, which was not a big deal, and the Chen family gave up.
Looking at Bai Qiuluo's behavior again, except that he can't fall into the water, there is nothing wrong with looking at it, which is reassuring.
On the second day, Bai Qiuluo took the herbs he dug up from the mountain to Old Man Hua's house.
"Old man, I'm coming."
As soon as he entered the door, Bai Qiuluo raised his voice.
"Autumn is coming, haven't you had breakfast, come into the house." As soon as Bai Qiuluo's voice fell, Granny Hua poked her head out of the house, and when she saw Bai Qiuluo, she looked very happy, and raised her hand to wave at Bai Qiuluo.
"Mother-in-law, I've eaten it." Bai Qiu answered, and then entered the house.
Old Man Hua was eating porridge in the house, and when he saw her coming, he looked up and greeted her.
"Autumn falls, why did it come so early today." Granny Hua asked with a smile.
Bai Qiuluo smiled and said, "I went to the mountain to collect some medicinal herbs two days ago, so I thought I would come over to the old man earlier today to see if I could collect them." ”
Bai Qiu fell down the mountain to dig medicinal herbs and then sold them to Hua Guohua It was not a day or two, so Granny Hua was not surprised.
"Girl, it's a good thing that you pick medicine to sell and supplement your family, but you girl is inevitably too honest." Granny Hua couldn't help but speak.
There are no villagers in Xiaoxi Village to collect medicine, and Mr. Hua did not let people from outside come into the village to collect medicine, the whole back mountain can be said to be original, so every time Bai Qiuluo can pick a lot of good medicinal materials, and Granny Hua feels sorry for Bai Qiuluo, and every time she asks Mr. Hua to collect the herbs in Bai Qiuluo's hands at a slightly higher price than the market price, it is said that these silver can also make the Bai family live well, but Bai Qiuluo has been skinny all these years, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and he can't eat enough.
At first, she was puzzled, but later she learned that the little girl gave all the money to the Chen family, and the Chen family gave the money to the Wang family, and the Wang family treated her harshly, so the Bai family's life was tight.
In the past, she told Bai Qiuluo to let her keep some money in her hand, but the little girl always bowed her head and didn't listen to her, and after a long time, she was distressed and didn't want to say it. In recent days, she felt that Bai Qiuluo's temperament had changed a lot, so she would open her mouth and persuade her.
Bai Qiuluo naturally knew Granny Hua's kindness, and a smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, Qiuluo understands, and she will never do anything stupid in the future." ”
Granny Hua blinked, a little unresponsive.
But seeing that she agreed quickly, Granny Hua was also happy, so she said: "You should have thought this way a long time ago, and you won't let people bully you all the time, look at your skinny appearance......"
Hearing the distress in Granny Hua's words, Bai Qiuluo held her hand, and the little bird rubbed it, "Mother-in-law, you are so good, if I had understood earlier, listening to your words, I wouldn't have suffered a loss for so long." ”
"It's not too late, you're still young, and the good days ahead are still long." Granny Hua was so happy that she patted the back of her hand and told her.
Bai Qiuluo nodded hurriedly, but he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.
To say that she crossed over is indeed quite helpless, so that she has a pair of parents who dot on her, making up for the regrets of her previous life, but she did not give her a good family condition, and there are evil grandmothers and evil uncles on it, who are bullying her all the time.
On the contrary, Old Man Hua and Granny Hua, who are not related to each other, are very good to her.
If Mr. Hua is her grandfather and Granny Hua is her grandmother, even if the conditions are a little harder, she will be satisfied.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but chuckle.
It's that she's greedy and wants everything, but many times, life is destined to be flawed.
"Girl, come here." Just when Bai Qiu fell into a trance, she heard Old Man Hua call her.
Bai Qiuluo raised his eyes and looked, only to find that Old Man Hua, who was still eating breakfast just now, had finished eating and was checking the medicinal herbs she brought.
"That mother-in-law, I'll go over first, you're busy." Bai Qiuluo said to Granny Hua and went towards Old Man Hua's side.
When she walked to Old Man Hua's side, she listened to him: "The vintage of this medicinal material is good, the quality is good, come and help clean it up, I will calculate how much money I will give you." ”
"Okay." Bai Qiuluo responded crisply, without asking him how much he wanted to count a catty.
After a while, Old Man Hua gave her two taels of silver.
Bai Qiuluo was suddenly surprised, "Old man, is this a miscalculation, I can't ask for this money, you can give it to me as usual." ”
She knew that the medicinal materials she brought were good, but they couldn't sell them for one or two in the sky, but the old man made a move, which was obviously too much.
"That's what I said, that's it, and I took the money." Old Man Hua glared and snorted angrily to stop Bai Qiuluo from handing over the money back.
Bai Qiuluo did not compromise this time, and looked at him with clear eyes: "Old man, I only want my share, if you are like this, then I would rather not take a penny." ”
As he spoke, he put the money on the table beside him, and turned around to leave.
Bai Qiuluo knew that the old man was a good person, and she also had the heart to help her, but she was a little reluctant to do so, for money, she was only willing to take what she deserved, although she knew that the old man was well-intentioned, but she couldn't accept it so calmly.
"Stop." Hua Guohua snorted, full of anger, but there was a trace of appreciation in his eyes.
Bai Qiuluo stood with his back to Old Man Hua, his lips almost pursed into a straight line.
"If you give it to you, you will take it, so much care. If you don't want it, the son you took in at home won't make up for it? Hua Guohua stuffed the silver back into her hand and glared at her.
Speaking of Shao Nanchu, Bai Qiuluo was slightly in a trance.
Why did she come to sell medicinal herbs today, wasn't it because she wanted to buy something nutritious for Shao Nanchu? But the money in the palm of her hand was hot, burning her eyes and couldn't help but be astringent.
