Chapter 57: Suffering
As soon as April passed, the weather in early May began to be a little hot, and Du Niangzi's body recovered most of it, so she thought about going to her home in the county seat.
"Are you going to pick up clothes? I can help you get on a trip. Shen Shiliu said, the road is not close, I am afraid that Du Niangzi will be tired.
Du Niangzi shook her head: "It's okay, I can take it myself, my body has been a lot more comfortable these days, and I want to take a walk." ”
Shen Shimei pondered that it was not good for Du Niangzi to be bored at home, so she should come down.
"Then tomorrow morning, let's go together." Shen Shiliu said.
Du Niangzi nodded, went back to the room and tidied up, and brought all the thicker clothes with her. In fact, she didn't bring anything when she came to Shen's house, and she only had these clothes.
Du Niangzi got up early in the morning, and the Shen family had been busy in the yard for a while. Shen Shiliu saw that Du Niangzi was up, so he beckoned her to go over for breakfast, and after breakfast, they went out.
After the family finished eating, they all went out, and Hong Xiuhua also pinched the time to come over and follow along.
The Shen family is used to getting up early and hurrying, and the pace is faster, Shen Shimei is afraid that Du Niangzi will not be able to keep up, so he and Du Niangzi will walk slowly behind.
When he arrived at the county seat, Shen Shimei first sent Du Niangzi home, and then went to sell broth and pastries.
After a morning's time, everything that should be sold was sold out, and Shen Shimei went back to Du's house to find Du Niangzi, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Song Lianhua.
Song Lianhua and Du Niangzi talked and laughed, and after seeing Shen Shimei come in, Song Lianhua raised her eyebrows, and then got up to greet her: "Pomegranate girl is here, sit down." ”
Shen Shiliu smiled lightly, why did Song Lianhua's painting of the master of the family make her feel so unhappy?
Du Niangzi was a little embarrassed, and also got up to let Shen Shimei sit, and after Shen Shimei sat down, she asked, "Is everything that Aunt should take ready?" Okay, let's go. ”
"Pomegranate, I was in poor health before, and it was also for Xuanmo, but now my body is fine, I think it's better not to go to your house to disturb it......" Du Niangzi returned to her house and found that she was still living comfortably, and the Shen family was good to her, but it was not her own home after all.
Shen Shiliu raised his eyebrows and said: "It's nothing for my aunt to come back, it's just that I promised Brother Du before, and my aunt also promised Brother Du, if my aunt comes back at this time, how will I explain to Brother Du in the future?" What's more, my aunt's health has only been a few days ago, and her body has not been completely laid, so I am also worried that there will be no one to take care of my aunt. ”
As soon as Shen Shiliu finished speaking, Song Lianhua said: "How can there be no one to take care of it, isn't there still me?" Could it be that the pomegranate girl is not at ease? ”
Shen Shiliu smiled: "How can I not worry about Miss Lotus, it's just that my aunt often coughs at night, and if there is no personal care, she won't be able to sleep well at night." Does Lotus Girl mean to bring people to your house, or does Lotus Girl want to live directly here? ”
Song Lianhua was about to say something, but Shen Shiliu said again: "What's more, it's not related to the family and there is no special entrustment, it's okay during the day, if the lotus girl lives in like this at night, it is estimated that the neighbors will also have to criticize, and the aunt shouldn't want this kind of thing to happen, right?" ”
Although Shen Shiliu's tone was quite soothing, he already sneered in his heart, Song Lianhua felt that he had a chance in this matter, and he wanted to cut off his beard! Du Niangzi's body can have today's improvement, but she Shen Pomegranate has been maintained with kung fu and materials, and you Song Lianhua want to pick up ready-made? Think beautifully!
Song Lianhua hesitated a little after listening to Shen Shimei's words, and Du Niangzi even said, "That's really not daring!" ”
Shen Shiliu put on a smiling face and said to Du Niangzi: "Although the lotus girl is kind, we can't delay the name of other girls, right?" The scholarly family pays the most attention to the reputation of the noble. This can be regarded as completely breaking Song Lianhua's mind of wanting to take the opportunity to enter the room.
Du Niangzi sighed: "Even if there is no one to take care of me, I'm fine, I've survived so many years, I can do it." ”
Shen Shiliu saw that Du Niangzi's stubbornness came up, and knew that persuasion could not be persuaded, so she finally said: "That aunt will live, but I am also a little busy these days, and I may not be able to come over for a few days, so please take care of Miss Lotus." ”
When Song Lianhua heard this, she quickly nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to take care of my aunt!" ”
Du Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Shen Shimei's appearance did not look like she was angry.
"Auntie is not in good health, I have to tell you everything I should pay attention to." Shen Shiliu said to Song Lianhua.
Song Lianhua nodded and listened.
"My aunt has to rinse my mouth with alkaline water in the morning, and the taste of eating in the morning is also light, and my salty and spicy aunt will have an uncomfortable throat and cough when she eats it. At noon, my aunt likes to eat pasta, steamed buns, flower rolls, corn tortillas or something, meat and vegetables are paired with two dishes, and in the evening, my aunt wants to drink mutton soup and loquat water. If you cough at night, you have to prepare more loquat water, but you don't stay here at night, just prepare before leaving, and your aunt can get up and drink it herself at night. Also, the cups, plates and dishes used by my aunt should also be washed clean with alkaline water, otherwise I will have trouble with my stomach. Shen Shiliu said the precautions for taking care of Du Niangzi in front of Du Niangzi, and Du Niangzi realized that she was so difficult to serve......
Song Lianhua was a little stunned when she heard this, but she still nodded: "I know, don't worry." ”
Shen Shiliu smiled and nodded, she deliberately let Song Lianhua take care of it, and it didn't seem like Song Lianhua would take care of people like this. But what she is most sad about is Du Niangzi, she is so good to Du Niangzi, Du Niangzi will still dislike her when she sees Song Lianhua, this time let Du Niangzi know that there is a fart for just looking good, and there is a fart for the light door!
Shen Shiliu just left, she was not worried at all about handing over Du Niangzi to Song Lianhua, she wanted to see if you Song Lianhua really had the ability, or if you could only fool people with a sweet mouth.
When Shen Shiliu went back, the Shen family didn't see Du Niangzi, and after listening to what Shen Shiliu said, the Zheng family was a little unhappy.
Zheng pondered in his heart, this Du Niangzi is also reasonable when she looks at it, why is she so unkind? Their pomegranate's care for Du Niangzi made her, a mother-in-law, jealous, why didn't Du Niangzi appreciate it at all?
"Let's go, go home!" Zheng said with a cold face, and the displeasure in his heart was all reflected on his face.
Shen Shiliu smiled, then pulled Zheng and said: "Mother, don't be angry, after this incident, I also understand, I will dig out my heart and lungs to others, and people may not be at ease, this time there is a comparison, and let her know how we pay." "There is no harm if there is no comparison, Song Lianhua will definitely shoot herself in the foot this time.
The father and son of the Shen family did not get involved, but Shen Shu still came to Hong Xiuhua and said, "My mother is definitely not like that." ”
Hong Xiuhua smiled: "I know! ”
Song Lianhua on the other end is very attentive, from time to time she pours tea and water for Du Niangzi, and she also makes lunch for lunch. Song Lianhua made a mistake at night, Shen Shiliu said that Du Niangzi had to drink mutton soup at night, but where did she go to get mutton soup?
"Auntie, I'm going to buy some mutton." Song Lianhua said that she was about to go out, Du Niangzi stopped the person and gave Song Lianhua ten yuan, mutton is not cheap, just buy less enough to make soup.
Song Lianhua bought mutton and made it difficult, she couldn't make mutton!
"Just put the condiments and make the soup." Du Niangzi swore and said.
Song Lianhua boiled the soup hard, and the fishy smell in the kitchen was also very strong, Song Lianhua herself didn't eat mutton, and now she was directly smoked to the point that her eyes were starry.
"Auntie, the soup is ready, you eat first, I have to go back first." Song Lianhua said and hurried away, it was dark, and the family would be in a hurry if they didn't leave.
Du Niangzi looked at the mutton soup on the table, the color was not good, and the smell was not good, so she scooped a spoonful with a spoon and put it in her mouth, but she vomited it all.
"How is this ......" The smell was too strong, and in the end, Du Niangzi didn't drink it.
When she went to bed at night, Du Niangzi remembered that Song Lianhua didn't boil loquat water, and she pondered to deal with it for a night, but it rained for a night at night, and she began to cough, and she didn't sleep well this night.
When Song Lianhua came to see it in the morning, she found that she hadn't drunk the mutton soup Du Niangzi in one gulp, and she felt that she was quite faceless, but she didn't say anything, so she made breakfast for Du Niangzi.
"There are no loquat leaves at home, how can I boil water?" Song Lianhua made another difficulty, she felt that she had always been in trouble in the past two days.
"Is there anything on the street?" Du Niangzi asked.
"It's not yet the season when the loquat is ripe, and there is nothing to sell, let alone leaves." Song Lianhua said, most people don't want leaves.
"Forget it...... Du Niangzi was sad, the loquat leaves of Shen Pomegranate were sweet and not difficult to drink, but now she can't even drink the unpleasant ones.
Shen Pomegranate didn't go to Du's house for a few days, plus it rained for three days, it was not summer yet, even if the weather was not cold, it was a little cool when it rained. Shen Shiliu calmed down, and only went to the Du family on the fifth day.
As soon as he entered Du's house, Shen Pomegranate saw that the yard was so chaotic that it could be described as "broken horse Zhang Fei", baskets and some rotten vegetable leaves were thrown all over the ground, and there were a bunch of plates and bowls soaked in the wooden barrel by the well, Shen Shimei was speechless: "It's only been five days, is this just enough?" ”
Pushed the door into Du Niangzi's room, only to see Du Niangzi lying on the bed alone, her face was pale, Shen Shiliu looked around, and she didn't see Song Lianhua.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Shen Shiliu asked, I wanted Du Niangzi to know how good she was, but I didn't expect Du Niangzi to be so poor that she fell ill in just a few days.
Du Niangzi forced herself to open her eyes, and when she saw that it was Shen Pomegranate, her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"Pomegranate, you—You're here!" Du Niangzi has been living these days, how sad and sad she is! She only regrets now, regrets that she held on hard, if she had followed Shen Shimei back to the Shen family, she wouldn't have to suffer this crime in the past few days!
