Chapter Twenty-Seven: Delivering Food

I only heard Sister-in-law Tian finish speaking and asked, "Sister, where are you?" ”

Qu Xiaomo's eyes rolled, and he lowered his head and said while washing: "My husband's family is from Jiazhou." ”

"Oh... Jiazhou! Although Sister-in-law Tian responded, her eyes were a little confused, as if she had never heard of it, she paused and said, "I heard Aunt Fang say that your husband's family is in business?" ”

"Yes." Qu Xiaomo responded: "It's just that I opened a small restaurant, this time I want to go to the west to buy goods, but I don't know that my husband was bitten by a poisonous snake, fortunately, there are relatives here, otherwise I'm afraid..."

"You have to be careful when you go out in the future." Sister-in-law Tian said, and then asked, "What about your servants?" ”

"The attendant went back to report the news, and I don't know when I will be able to send it to pick it up."

Qu Xiaomo had worries on her face, and Sister-in-law Tian didn't want to ask again, so she opened the topic and said, "What's the situation with your man?" What did the doctor say? ”

Qu Xiaomo said: "The doctor said that he was taking medicine for ten days to remove the residual toxins, and then he would nourish his body." ”

"That's going to cost a lot of money."

"Spending money is secondary, the key is that this person has to get better."

"Not really." Sister-in-law Tian took her clothes soaked in water and spread them on a flat stone, and said while holding a mallet: "If you have money, you will buy more to replenish your body, if you leave the root of the disease, it will be a big deal." ”

Qu Xiaomo responded with a smile, the two chatted for a while, the bucket was also cleaned, and the heat on his face disappeared, so he got up and said, "Sister-in-law, you are washing, I will go back to take care of my husband first." ”

"Okay, okay, you go!" Sister-in-law Tian smiled and waved her hand

Qu Xiaomo carried the gong bucket back along the path he came, went to the yard to find a place to dry the gong bucket, entered the house and quietly opened the door and lifted the curtain to take a look at the golden sting lying on the bed, and saw that he had not woken up and retreated, and called Aunt Fang twice but did not see an answer, thinking that it was time to go out, so he moved a chair out, found a shady tree to sit down, and looked at the rice field not far away.

At this time, the sun is about to fall on the mountain, but it is still very hot, and there are many people in the field who are still busy, it is already more than half of the summer at this time, and it will be autumn in another month, and the rice has also borne rice ears, and the farming has really begun, the mountains and forests in the distance are still lush, the gorgeous wildflowers dot the mountain scenery, the unknown birds are singing with their voices, and from time to time there are a few geese flying from the sky and disappearing into the deep forest.

The hearty laughter and shouting in the field came, the corners of Qu Xiaomo's mouth couldn't help but curve slightly, and when she saved the money, she also found a village to live in, bought some fields and rented them out, and followed the villagers to take care of the crops when she was interested, raising a few chickens, feeding the chickens in her spare time, and thinking that life would pass quite quickly.

After sitting for a while, I didn't see Aunt Fang come back, thinking that Jin Yu would wake up and drink medicine again, so he made a stove and began to decoct the medicine.

Wait for the medicine to be decocted and poured into the bowl to cool, the black soup smells very strong, you know that it is extremely bitter when you smell it, and I don't know how the golden sting has not changed its face in the past two days to drink it, and I really haven't seen him frown a little bit when he drank the medicine, it is really a god!

As soon as the prescription was poured, the aunt came back with a basket, and after putting the medicine jar, she saw her walk in, her forehead was sweating, and the headscarf on her head had been taken off by her as a handkerchief fan, Qu Xiaomo hurriedly brought her well water to wash her face, looked at the basket of vegetables on the table, and said, "Auntie picked vegetables?" It's hot, tell me the place later, I'll pick it. ”

Aunt Fang thanked her for the cold water she brought, took a handkerchief, soaked it in water, wiped her face, and felt the slightest coolness, before she sighed and spit out a dry breath, and said, "It's hot this day, my old woman can't stand it, and I can't stand it, and this kid can't stand it." ”

After speaking, he wiped his face and hands again, and said, "Look at this hot day, I'm afraid it will rain in a few days!" It's only been a few days since it was sunny. ”

Qu Xiaomo saw that after she finished washing, she went out with a basin to pour water, and said with a smile: "It's not good to rain, it's cool." ”

"Look at you are a person who has never done farm work, now the millet has just set ears, it is not suitable for rain, and besides, the heavy rain has just passed a few days, the river has just fallen a lot, and this time it is going to rub against the rising tide, as soon as the water crosses the riverbed, the field will be washed away, there has been a few years earlier, the fields in the village have been washed down, and the grains have not been harvested, fortunately, the court has opened the warehouse to release the grain, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to live."

Qu Xiaomo smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this: "I really don't know." ”

Aunt Fang was the fastest, and there was no malice, she brought a chair and took out the vegetables in the vegetable basket to sit under the eaves, and beckoned Qu Xiaomo to clean up and wash the vegetable leaves together.

This dish is to be fried with meat at night, there are three kinds of vegetables in the basket, Qu Xiaomo can't call it, so he cleans it carefully, and when he looks at the sun after washing, it should be time to cook, so he took the bones that Uncle Fang helped cut out of the well at noon, and washed the pot.

When she was washing the rice and putting it in the pot, Aunt Fang looked at her scooping out the white rice, and said with some distress: "How many buckets have you bought here!" I'm afraid I won't last a few days if I eat like this. ”

Qu Xiaomo said with a smile: "It's okay, there is still money to buy rice, and besides, the shopkeeper is used to being pampered, and he can't get used to eating this rice bran." ”

Speaking of the shopkeeper inside, Aunt Fang also closed her mouth, when she first woke up, she also went in to see a few times, although her face was pale and sickly, but that appearance was indeed the best, like an immortal, the handsome queen of ten miles and eight towns was afraid that one could not compare to him, but Jun is handsome, but he has a bad temperament, and he treats people a little coldly, although he has a little smile on his face, but he is still scary, not as kind as the young man in front of him.

After the rice was put into the pot, the golden sting also woke up, the medicine had been slightly cool, Qu Xiaomo fed him and drank it not long before he fell asleep again, and after having dinner with Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang, he woke him up again, fed him a bowl of porridge, and waited for him to relieve his hands again, this time it was much calmer than the first time, but he still couldn't help but have a fever on his face.

Because the golden sting drinks medicine and porridge, it is diuretic, which is also a way to discharge residual poison, so when he rests at night, the gong bucket is placed in the corner, Qu Xiaomo is still lying on the two benches as he did the night before, staring at the beams of the room with his eyes, thinking that it is not a way to go down like this, and he has to stay here for two or three months, do he have to lie on these two chairs every day? What's the matter, it has to be a wooden couch that can turn over!

Besides, now that she has silver in her hand, a wooden couch shouldn't cost a few dollars, Ming'er asked Uncle Fang if there is a carpenter in this village, and if she can't find a board that can sleep people, she really can't stand sleeping like this.

Waiting for the golden sting at night for two nights, and then fell asleep, the next day I woke up the sun had risen, quickly combed my hair and went out to wash, breakfast was steamed bread and white porridge and pickles, Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang had already eaten and went out to the field, yesterday dinner said that the two of them were going to the field to pull weeds today, lunch may not be able to come so I brought more steamed buns and water, let her eat at home.

After washing and eating the bowl of porridge and steamed buns left by the two of them, she began to brush the pot to cook the porridge and decoction, and after the stove was lit, she went out and saw that the chicken shed and the pigsty were put in food, thinking that Aunt Fang put it before going out, and she originally wanted to help.

Jin Yu is now like a baby eating, drinking, and Lazar has to be served, and when he woke up, he was served by Qu Xiaomo to wash his face and rinse his mouth, and then relieve his hands, feeding and feeding medicine, and the rest of the time he was sleeping, and he felt very tired when he woke up, and he wanted to contact his subordinates, but now he was struggling to move, and he didn't worry about giving the code to Qu Xiaomo to let her contact, so he had to lie down like this, looking forward to thinking about it after easing down.

After serving the golden sting, after he couldn't resist the effect of the medicine and fell asleep, Qu Xiaomo went out of the house to find something to do, and after a walk, Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang had everything done before they went out, so they had no choice but to sit and wait for the hour of lunch to come.

Thinking that Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang only ate steamed buns for lunch, Qu Xiaomo thought about whether to send a meal to the two of them?

The thought was decided together, but I still went to ask Jin Zhen, who had just woken up after a bowl of medicine, heard that she was going to deliver food to the two, and the corners of her lips inadvertently hooked up a smile, and said: "You can toss, it's okay to deliver food, but do you know the way?" Any idea where they are? ”

Forehead... She really didn't know that, but she should be able to find out if she asked someone from the village.

Before Qu Xiaomo could speak, he heard Jin Yu say again: "It's okay to send it if you want, but you have to feed me first and drink the medicine before going out." "How did he not know that this kid wanted to go out for a walk with the opportunity to deliver food, don't look at the well-behaved and clever in front of him on weekdays, in fact, he has a big heart, just from the curiosity that she will lift the curtain of the car every time she passes by, and look out with a novel face.

But now he can only eat, sleep, sleep and eat all day long, and it is not interesting for her to watch it on the sidelines, so he simply does not stop it.

After Qu Xiaomo got the consent, he happily began to prepare for lunch, first fed the porridge to the golden sting, and then heated the meat and vegetables left over from yesterday, and then washed the big porcelain bowl on the cupboard, and put two large bowls in the well to heat, the weather outside is hot, and the cold porridge is good to eat.

After eating, he gave the golden sting decoction, drank the medicine and waited for his convenience, and only after he fell asleep did he find the basket, put the porridge, meat and vegetables and chopsticks in it, put on the lid and went out of the house and closed the door.

According to the direction that Uncle Fang said yesterday, he carried the basket and followed the winding path towards the source of the river, because most of the rice fields in the village were along the river, and on the way, he really met one or two sisters-in-law who brought food to his man, and looked at her face, but the village had already spread it, and the two sisters-in-law asked: "You are the cousin and niece of Fang's sister-in-law, you are really handsome." ”

Before Qu Xiaomo could ask for directions, he was a little embarrassed by the undisguised praise of the two with a smile on their faces, so he had to smile at them with a slight blushing face: "Hello two sisters-in-law!" ”

"Good, good." A sister-in-law wearing a silver hairpin and a silk flower replied with a smile

The other, who only wore a wooden hairpin that was smoothed and polished, also smiled: "It's different from the city." ”

said again: "I've asked, what is the name of the eldest sister!" ”
