Chapter 17: Wind Chill
"I can't take this money, it's too much..."
"Not much, go get a bag." Cheng Qing urged Liu Niansi to go out, and Liu Niansi had no choice but to run home to get the preserves.
"How? Satisfied, right? Nian Minghe turned his head to look at Mei Yu.
Mei Yu nodded with satisfaction, thinking about what her son liked, and her heart was even more satisfied.
……
When Wang Zhili arrived home, he heard no one in the house, and he didn't believe that his son would go to school obediently, but he walked around several times inside and out, and it seemed that he was really not at home.
Just thinking about where people are going to play again, Wang Zhili heard the sound of the door opening, came to the door in confusion, and saw Wang Xiaoshan hanging his head but carrying a small bag, and said in surprise: "You are studying in the school?" ”
Wang Xiaoshan nodded: "Didn't my father tell me to go?" I'm in the school. ”
Originally, after being humiliated, Wang Xiaoshan especially wanted to run to the house and cry, but when he thought of the agreement with that man, no matter how wronged he was, he held it in his heart, and then silently returned to the school, where he spent the most sad and helpless morning in his life.
"You're really going to stay in the academy?" To be honest, Wang Zhili didn't believe it, but looking at Wang Xiaoshan's situation, one morning in the school should not be lying to him.
Wang Xiaoshan put down his bag and nodded: "The master also praised me, saying that I was staying in the school, and he thought it was incredible." ”
Anyway, Wang Xiaoshan is willing to stay in the school, Wang Zhili, the father, is the happiest, he touched his son's head and said with a smile: "Since you went to the school, you will learn to read and study hard." ”
"Hmm."
"Okay, wait until the day off, and Dad will take you into the mountains."
"Really?"
Wang Zhili nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen, it seems that Wang Xiaoshan will not be able to cook for him in the future, and the job of cooking will fall to him again.
The haze on Wang Xiaoshan's face has dissipated a lot, and it is good to enter the mountain.
Nian Minghe saw that the sun was about to set, so he said to Cheng Qing: "It's not early, we have to hurry back to the inn, so we have to go." ”
"Shall you go after dinner?"
"The mountain road is bumpy and rugged, and it's even harder to walk at night, so let's go now." Nian Minghe said: "There is a lot of disturbance today, and if you have the opportunity to visit another day, you will definitely come to visit." ”
Cheng Qing thought about it, although he was reluctant to spend time with his old people, but there was no banquet in the world that would not be dispersed, and said with a smile: "In this case, the two of you are careful on the road, and Cheng Qing will not be far away." ”
"Well, you live a good life, don't get entangled in old things, it will be better in the future."
"Lend you good words."
Cheng Qingsong left Nian Minghe and Mei Yu, and suddenly felt a little lonely. The glorious and gorgeous days of the past gradually faded, leaving only the lonely and endless old things.
"Childe, those two don't look like ordinary brothers, they don't look like masters and servants, and they don't feel abrupt when they look at them, who are they?" Xiaoyun was behind Cheng Qing and asked suspiciously.
Cheng Qing smiled: "Good people, destined people." ”
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"It's boring, it's almost evening, let's go prepare dinner, I didn't eat well at noon, I'm afraid I'm hungry, right?"
Xiaoyun shook his head: "Niansi brought back a lot of candied fruit, I ate it happily, and I didn't feel hungry at all." ”
"You have no conscience, you don't leave me at all?"
"A big bag!" Xiaoyun exaggerated the appearance of a big bag with his hands, and said: "I'm not afraid of the accumulated food that my son eats, so I can help my son share a little!" ”
Cheng Qing sneered: "Then do I still want to thank you?" ”
"Childe, go back quickly, the night is getting late, I'm afraid I'm going to catch a cold." Xiaoyun immediately diverted her attention and didn't let Cheng Qing continue, otherwise she would be scolded again.
Cheng Qing reluctantly entered the door, and Xiaoyun immediately closed the door.
"By the way, if you still have candied fruit, pack some for Xiaoshan, this child is going to school, there must be a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, give him some favorite food, and he will be happy."
"Oh, I'll be ready."
At night, Cheng Qing sat in the courtyard, Xiaoyun was fanning the wind on the side, and Liu Niansi was standing aside, as if he had something to say.
"Brother Cheng, I have something I want to tell you." After thinking for a long time, he spoke.
Cheng Qing had been pretending to sleep, and when he heard Liu Niansi's words, he opened his eyes and said, "What? ”
"My father asked me to pay you back this money." Liu Niansi took out the money that Nian Minghe gave him to buy candied fruit from his purse, a total of ten taels of silver, not a penny.
"This money was bought by Nian Minghe when he asked your family, what are you doing for me?"
Liu Niansi knelt down when he heard this: "My father said, Brother Cheng is as kind to my family as a mountain, Brother Cheng's friend wants something, how can he still collect money?" Since the money can't be repaid, it is not something that my father's family can take, and it should be given to Brother Cheng. ”
Cheng Qing shook the rocking chair and waved his hand: "I don't want it, the candied fruit is to take your jujubes, your sugar water, and your father's craftsmanship, why do I collect this money instead?" Doesn't it seem like I'm going too far..."
"No, this is what Brother Cheng should take, my father said, no matter what, he can't take this money, let me have to return it to Brother Cheng."
"Then you can take it yourself, and you will get married in the future, so you can give yourself more private money."
Liu Niansi: "What are you kidding Brother Cheng again?" I am a slave of the Cheng family, how can I get married? ”
Cheng Qing squinted at Liu Niansi, sighed, and said, "I treat you as a younger brother and sister, and I never thought of treating you as a slave." I have to find you a good in-law, let you marry beautifully, if you blindly share with me, don't you feel that you have been indebted to my heart? ”
Of course, Liu Niansi knew Cheng Qing's intentions, and silently lowered his head.
Xiaoyun helped Niansi up and said solemnly: "Childe, I and Niansi know your intentions. So in the future, you must find us a good in-law, if you can't find it, Nian Si and I will follow you for the rest of our lives. ”
"Okay, don't worry."
Liu Niansi finally gave the silver taels to his father and his father, although his father tried his best not to accept it, he threw down the money and ran away, and his father had no way to chase him, and later Uncle Liu sent a lot of food to the Cheng family, which was also regarded as this heart.
Cheng Qing's life is still comfortable, there is no shortage of food and drink, he has time to go to the field to see, and if he doesn't have time, he lies on the bed and reads a book, which is regarded as a trip to the field.
The hotter the weather, the less Cheng Qing likes to go out, the room is full of ice, making the whole house very cool, because of this, even eating is eaten in Cheng Qing's house, but the result is that Cheng Qing, who has not been sick for a long time, was infected with wind chill in the summer.
Not many people believe that some people will feel cold in the summer. Xiaoyun went to the village to find Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong thought that Xiaoyun was here to laugh at him, and refused to follow Xiaoyun, and finally Xiaoyun almost knelt down, so Lang Zhong followed Xiaoyun back to Cheng's house and treated Cheng Qing.
"It's really cold?" Lang Zhong looked at Cheng Qing trembling and covering himself in the quilt, sweating profusely on his head, his eyes tightly closed, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.
"Doctor, what am I lying to you for?" Xiaoyun hurriedly said: "You can show my son-in-law, he must be very uncomfortable now!" ”
Lang Zhong hurriedly picked up Cheng Qing's hand and gave him a pulse.
Liu Niansi took a basin of water and wiped his sweat to make him more comfortable.
"It's just a general wind chill, nothing matters." Lang Zhong put Cheng Qing's hand back into the quilt and said, "I'll prescribe a few prescriptions, you go and grab the medicine and fry it for him to drink." Don't get the wind these days, let the ice out of the house, stay under the quilt for a few more days, and wait for the sweat to be less or gone, so it's fine. ”
Xiaoyun remembered them one by one, followed Lang Zhong out to write prescriptions, and after giving the money, he explained his thoughts and went to the town to grab medicine non-stop.
Cheng Qingren was a little confused, his whole person was very uncomfortable, the sweat on his body was sticky, and he wanted to take the quilt off his body hot, but someone always put his hand back in the quilt, making him like a steamer, so that he couldn't be stuffy himself.
"Let go..."Cheng Qing struggled weakly, but his strength was far less than Liu Niansi to stop him.
"Brother Cheng, the doctor said, you can't lift the quilt now, just cover it for a while and sweat." Liu Niansi hurriedly pulled Cheng Qing's hand and said: "My father used to treat me like this, I know it's very uncomfortable, but patience is over, Brother Cheng, bear with me, bear with me..."
I don't know if Liu Niansi's words played a role or Cheng Qing was tired from struggling, he gradually stopped moving, and seemed to fall asleep.
Liu Niansi exhaled, and then carefully wiped Cheng Qing's face with a towel to make him feel a little more comfortable.
After Xiaoyun rushed back, he immediately decocted the medicine, took over Niansi's work, and wiped Cheng Qing's sweat. Nian Si rushed to the kitchen to decoct the medicine, took the decoction medicine and fed it to Cheng Qing, and observed carefully, and when Cheng Qing's sweating was a lot less in the second half of the night, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and fell asleep by the bed one by one.
The effect of the medicine is still very good, and the next day, Cheng Qing felt much more comfortable, although it was still very hot under the quilt, but he still endured it for the sake of his body.
Looking at the two people who have been busy taking care of him, Cheng Qing is quite embarrassed, because of his own selfish interests, he will feel cold on a hot day, it is indeed a rare anecdote, and Cheng Qing feels embarrassed when he says it.
Niansi brought medicine again, Cheng Qing didn't like the medicine, and his brows were furrowed several hills.
"Childe, good medicine is good for disease, so you can pinch your nose and drink it." Xiaoyun persuaded on the side: "This can be regarded as a lesson, you can't do that in the future, otherwise, when you really go to ask for a doctor, the doctor doesn't believe it, and you don't even want to come to the house to see a doctor." ”
Cheng Qing pinched his nose and drank the medicine, Niansi hurriedly took the candied fruit to Cheng Qing, and Cheng Qing said with satisfaction: "I know, it won't be like this in the future." ”
Nian Si took the bowl and said with palpitations: "This time, Brother Cheng really scared me, fortunately, I found it in time, it's okay, otherwise..."
"Bah, bah, how can it be otherwise, Gongzi Hongfu Qitian!"
"Yes, yes, Hong Fu Qitian!"
Cheng Qing looked at them, and he was very satisfied, it turned out that he was really happy to have someone to accompany him.
