Chapter 5: Ill-fated
Then Chen said: "Change the clothes on your body, look at your poor and sour appearance, whether you look good or not, first of all, you have to clean it yourself, lest my Ming'er see you like a flower child." ”
As he spoke, he threw away his clothes and turned to go out.
Although Lu Caiqing's words were not good, he also found a replacement of clothes for himself, walked to the side of the kang, touched the clothes in his hand, and looked at Chen Ming happily: "Brother Ming!" You see, my mother-in-law is really a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and she gave me clothes to wear. ”
Chen Ming coughed again and said, "Hurry up and try it!" Mother's craft, that's ...... One of the best in the village, this dress looks like the mother just changed for you, you see...... Do you see if it's appropriate? ”
Lu Caiqing was happy in his heart, although he has worn clothes of all fabrics in modern times, but in this penniless day, it would be good to have such a set of clean and fitting clothes. Just as he was about to take it off, he saw Chen Ming raise his eyes to look at him, Lu Caiqing's face turned red and he stopped undressing.
Although Chen Ming was seriously ill in bed, he was also a man, and he hurriedly said: "Cai Qing! You just change it in a corner that I can't see, I won't peek. ”
After listening to him, Lu Caiqing saw that his face was flushed, and he was still very happy to have clothes, so he changed his clothes with his hands and feet, and looked down to see that it was a coarse cloth shirt with small flowers and dark blue linen pants, and the cotton jacket and cotton pants inside were still given by Liu's family.
After dressing, she found a bucket in the outer room, picked up the scoop and scooped some water and put it in the wooden basin, she rolled up her sleeves and put the wooden basin outside the house, she was afraid that the water would not dry for a while after washing her face, and she was scolded by her mother-in-law, and it has been more than 20 days since she came to this world, and she has been busy washing her face, and she has never taken a good look at herself.
She lowered her head and looked at herself in the water, only then did she see clearly that she was so sloppy, no wonder Steward Li was disgusted, and her mother-in-law had no smile on her face.
Just look at the reflection in the water, she has a melon seed face, this eyebrow is not too prominent, the skin on the face is rough, and the skin is burrs in winter, she is not looking at it much, and she washed it carefully.
I entered the house, searched around for a long time, and finally found a comb on the cabinet and straightened out my hair. Inadvertently, she saw a small broken lens, and she didn't know where her mother-in-law got it, although it was dim, but she could take a clear picture.
Maybe it's because of the combing, I'm still not ugly, but I'm too thin, and my skin looks a lot whiter after washing.
I thought that I must take care of my body in the future, I am so poor here, it is impossible to get injections, and it seems that taking medicine is also a very luxurious thing.
Thinking of this, he came to Chen Mingkang's head and asked, "Brother Ming!" Look at me after cleaning up, can you still see it? ”
Chen Ming raised his eyelids vigorously and stared at her for a long time without speaking, Lu Caiqing saw it, and thought to himself that he hadn't washed it clean? Looking at himself this time, he feels a lot cleaner and tidy, and he is not very sloppy, why is he with this expression, is there still dirt on his face?
Chen Ming said anxiously: "Don't think about it! I...... I'm just fascinated, Caiqing...... You're so good-looking! If you had come to our house early, maybe we would have ......."
The joy just now was suddenly interrupted by a cough, Lu Caiqing hurriedly stretched out his little hand, and gently knocked behind him, until he stopped coughing.
In this way, Lu Caiqing settled down, until the second day, Lu Caiqing did not see the so-called brother-in-law Chen Yang at home, but the Chen family invited the neighbors, set up two tables of simple meals instead of the banquet, and gave Lu Caiqing a red coarse cloth dress instead of the wedding dress, Chen Dalang couldn't get up from the kang, only Lu Caiqing knelt down to worship his mother-in-law, even if he was the official daughter-in-law of the Chen family.
Lu Caiqing has been coming to the Chen family for two days, and he roughly knows that the uncle of the Chen family is a gambler who is a good gambler, and he doesn't know where to gamble these days, and he doesn't even know that his eldest brother is married.
Early in the morning of this day, Lu Caiqing got up early, dressed Chen Ming, went to the outer room, and began to cook on the fire, which was a piece of cake for her, because Lu Caiqing grew up in her grandmother's house in the countryside when she was a child, and she was still familiar with this common sense of life.
She thought to herself, Chen Ming seems to have a worse cough than yesterday when she gets up today, I don't know what it was like before, but now she coughs up blood, what can I do, I just got married to Chongxi, I look like he is tuberculosis, and he is not a medical graduate, the general minor illness will not bother her, this tuberculosis is terminally ill, and if it goes on like this, he will not be able to delay it for a few days.
Just thinking about it, Chen suddenly broke out, and scolded Cai Qing with his head and face: "How did you take care of him last night, why did Ming'er burn again this morning?" Are you patronizing yourself to sleep, not taking care of your man, you little girl, did I spend money to let you go to my house to enjoy happiness? If I don't give you some color, you don't know how to serve your man. ”
After Chen finished speaking, he picked up the broom next to him and hit Lu Caiqing, and the first fell down and hit Lu Caiqing's body firmly, because she was still in a fugue, she didn't come back to her senses, and after feeling the pain, her head immediately turned around, and she reflexively stood up and ran.
After a detour, he ran back to the house, and shouted as he ran: "Brother Ming!" You look at the mother-in-law beating people early in the morning. After shouting, he raised his leg and hid beside Chen Ming, he woke up and saw that his mother did it for no reason, he probably listened carefully, and hurriedly said: "Mother...... Yes! Get angry early in the morning! Injure...... Hurt your body! She was still a little ...... What to do if it breaks! Ahem......! ”
After speaking, there was a violent cough, Lu Caiqing hurriedly pressed his chest to comfort him, Chen still felt sorry for his son, immediately put down the broom, came to his son, and asked distressedly: "Is it better?" ”
At this time, Chen Ming coughed up a mouthful of blood, which frightened the Chen family, and at the same time scared Lu Caiqing a lot, looking at this posture, he couldn't survive these two days, how could this good person not live long! If Chen Ming's condition improves, his mother-in-law will treat him better, if Chen Ming has a good deal, he will not be said by his mother-in-law to be a bad star, a life-urging ghost, and a broom star of Kefu.
She didn't dare to think about it, Chen was also anxious, and told Lu Caiqing to be optimistic about Chen Ming, and went out to find a doctor directly, Lu Caiqing cleaned up the mattress and quilt, and then sat down, looked at Chen Ming and said gloomily: "Brother Ming!" It's all my fault, it's because I'm playful and haven't studied medicine well, otherwise I could have cured your illness. ”
"No...... It's none of your business! Ahem......! ”
Lu Caiqing saw that he was struggling to speak, so he hurriedly stopped him, but he was worried about his body, afraid that he would have three longs and two shorts at this time, and he couldn't tell clearly, and he didn't know how long it would take for his mother-in-law to find a doctor, but now the only thing she could do was to be by his side.
