10 Occasional chills
I have to say that the day the three of them went to the market was really beautiful, and it rained non-stop that night. The rain in the south of the Yangtze River continued for a few days, although it had been more than a month of spring, but the temperature was still not high, and the temperature dropped immediately after a spring rain, which made Xu Hong a little uncomfortable.
Xu Hong didn't care about the cooling and didn't add clothes, but who knew that he was negligent and contracted the wind chill. At first, I thought that I would be able to carry it in two days, but the disease became worse and worse, and I couldn't stop coughing all day long. Xu Hong was afraid that Xue Chengyu would be infected, so he slept on the floor, which made his condition more and more serious.
Xue Chengyu prescribed medicine to Xu Hong at the beginning of his illness, thinking that he could suppress the condition, but the result was that the condition was serious. As soon as he thought of being infected with the wind and cold, Xue Chengyu's heart was stunned, he almost lost his life because of negligence, which caused the situation of being in a wheelchair now. He couldn't let Xu Hong repeat his mistakes, so he paid attention to Xu Hong's situation all the time.
Xu Hong took a few more medicines, and his condition improved, but the cough became more and more severe, even at night, the cough did not stop, and the whole chest cavity was trembling. Xue Chengyu felt sorry for Xu Hong, as long as Xu Hong coughed, he would pat him on the back to make him feel better. But there is no way to go on like this, Xue Chengyu has to find another way.
Xue Chengyu felt that the complicated methods in the book were not as good as the soil methods, and simply boiling pear water was the best method. However, for a young master like Xue Chengyu, who has never been in the kitchen, it is simply too difficult to cook pear water, and in the end, he asked Master Xue to know how to do it.
Xue Chengyu took advantage of Xu Hong's still not waking up, slowly moved to the side of the bed, cautiously, and painstakingly sat on the wheelchair, pushing the wheelchair in the direction of the kitchen.
As soon as Xue Chengyu appeared at the door of the kitchen, everyone was shocked, and the kitchen lady in charge of the kitchen reacted first, and hurriedly greeted her, "Young Master, what do you want to eat, just let Brother Xu pass it on, why bother to come here to smell the fumes in the kitchen." ”
Xue Chengyu hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and replied lightly: "It's okay, Xu Hong has been suffering from wind and cold recently, and he can't stop coughing, so I'll cook him some pear water to stop coughing." ”
The cook instantly understood what Xue Chengyu meant, pushed Xue Chengyu to the kitchen, picked a few big-looking pears from the pear basket and put them in front of Xue Chengyu, and asked, "Young master, is this okay?" ”
Xue Chengyu picked up a pear and flipped it, feeling very satisfied, "Well, it's not bad, I'm sorry for you." After that, he picked up the knife on the table, made a pear-cutting motion, and asked, "I won't delay you making breakfast when I cut pears here, right?" ”
The cook knew that Xue Chengyu was good to Xu Hong, but she didn't expect it to be so good, she personally cut pears and boiled pear water, which was a treatment that even Master Xue had never enjoyed.
"You cook it yourself?" The cook asked uncertainly.
The corners of Xue Chengyu's mouth were slightly hooked, and he replied with a light smile: "Hmm." If it's in the way, I'll go to the yard to get it. ”
How dare the cook say that she was in the way, so she hurriedly shook her hand and refused, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, if you need it, the eldest young master will call us, I'll go cook first." ”
Xue Chengyu nodded to the cook, moved his wheelchair to an unobstructed place by the stove, picked up a knife and cut the pear quietly. Now Xue Chengyu is like a statue, so that the cooks who pass by him can't help but look twice. Sometimes the cooks are thinking about how lucky they must be to come to the Xue family in this life, and when they meet a master like Xue Chengyu, they are even more envious that Xu Hong can be an errand by Xue Chengyu's side, and only guard Xue Chengyu alone.
Four or five pears were cut into small pieces by Xue Chengyu and put into the pot after a while, and the ingredients were put into the pot in turn according to the recipe that Master Xue told him, and he looked methodical and not at all like a person who was cooking for the first time.
However, just when the stove was lit and the pear water was boiled, a "young master" suddenly came from the yard, and then Xu Hong hurriedly ran to the kitchen door. Xu Hong coughed all the way, and he didn't let go until he saw Xue Chengyu in the kitchen, holding the door rail out of breath, coughing and panting for breath.
Because the cough was very serious, Xu Hong didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, and the next morning he got up later, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Xue Chengyu was already gone. Xue Chengyu pushed the wheelchair to everywhere inconvenient, in case of an accident, he would not be able to make up for it even if he died, so he hurriedly got up and changed his clothes, and asked the subordinates who were sweeping the floor outside to know that Xue Chengyu went to the kitchen and did not stop for a moment to look for it.
Xu Hong came to Xue Chengyu's side, helped Xue Chengyu light the stove, and asked with concern: "Young master, if you are hungry and call me up, what are you doing in the kitchen?" ”
"You didn't sleep well last night, and it's rare to fall asleep, so I want you to rest more. I see you're coughing badly and want to boil you some pear water. After Xue Chengyu finished speaking, he picked up a small pear on the table, peeled it with a knife and handed it to Xu Hong, "The cough is the worst in the morning, eat a pear and press it first." ”
Xu Hong looked at the pear for a long time, he suspected that he was dreaming now, Xue Chengyu was so good to him that he couldn't be better, the dignified young master of the Xue family not only condescended to cook pear water for him, but also personally peeled pears for him to eat, this is something that other people's eldest young masters would never think about Xue Chengyu did it himself.
Perhaps only those who truly love someone will abandon the shackles of rank and inferiority.
Seeing that Xu Hong didn't pick up the pear, Xue Chengyu pulled Xu Hong's hand over and put the pear in his hand, "It's very sweet, don't you believe you can take a bite and taste it?" ”
Xu Hong slowly raised the pear in his hand and took a bite, as Xue Chengyu said, this pear is really sweet. Xu Hong just swallowed the first bite of the pear and couldn't wait to take another bite, this pear is really sweeter and sweeter the more you eat it, and it is about to be sweet to the heart. Xu Hong looked at Xue Chengyu with a smirk, and his pouting appearance was very cute, which made Xue Chengyu's heart melt. At the same time, the cooks were very aware of the situation and withdrew from the kitchen, leaving room for the two to talk about their hearts.
"When it is cooked, the pear flesh inside is more delicious, my father said to put rock sugar but there is no rock sugar at home, so I can only put some ordinary sugar, I don't know how it tastes."
"What the young master does, I drink, I don't pick." Xu Hong bit the pear in his mouth, and he couldn't speak clearly, but it could be seen from his expression that he was still looking forward to it.
The process of waiting for the pear water to boil takes a long time, and Xue Chengyu called the cook to ask a few words before letting Xu Hong push him back to his yard.
The cherry blossom trees in the backyard began to sprout during a spring rain, and the greenery was full of life. Xu Hong pushed Xue Chengyu under the tree, and he sat on the stone bench to accompany him.
"Young master, in fact, you don't have to be so troublesome, it's just a cold, you don't have to be so nervous if it's not a serious illness."
Xue Chengyu let out a long sigh, looked at Xu Hong's eyes, and explained: "It's not that I'm nervous, it's just that my heart feels uncomfortable when I see someone around me sick." People will get sick more or less in this life, and no one can guarantee that they can spend this life in good health. I thought it was a minor illness that I didn't pay attention to, and in the end it became like this, there are too many unexpected things that test people, and it's better to bother with everything. ”
Xu Hong understood the meaning of Xue Chengyu's words, snorted, nodded and said, "What the young master said is very reasonable, and he has been taught." ”
The word "teachable" always felt a little awkward when it came out of Xu Hong's mouth, Xue Chengyu didn't know where Xu Hong heard and learned this word, even though he hadn't taught it, but the usage was still very correct. During this time, Xu Hong learned a lot of things from Xue Chengyu, and gradually developed more and more in the direction of Xue Chengyu, cowardice is still cowardice, but there is a trace of unyielding in cowardice, as long as it doesn't force him to a dead end, it's easy to say anything.
After a while, the next person brought the boiled pear water, and the moment he opened the small pot, the thick sweet fragrance came to his face, hooking people to taste it.
Xue Chengyu took out a bowl for Xu Hong and handed it to Xu Hong, then filled another bowl for himself, and instructed: "Be careful of scalding." ”
Xu Hong took the bowl, blew it, and took a sip carefully. There seems to be too much sugar in the pear water, and it tastes a little sticky to drink, but fortunately, Xu Hong likes to eat sweet, otherwise this pear water is a waste.
Xue Chengyu also blew it, took a sip, and felt that this pear water was too sweet, it was a failure.
"Am I putting too much sugar?" Xue Chengyu asked unconfidently, "I couldn't cook well the first time, I couldn't master it well if it was sweet or light, if it wasn't delicious, throw it away." ”
This pear water was cooked for him by Xue Chengyu himself, no matter whether it was good or not, it was full of Xue Chengyu's sincerity, if it was really poured out, wouldn't it be a waste of Xue Chengyu's good intentions?
"Pour ...... Poured out? Xu Hong looked at Xue Chengyu in surprise, "It's already very good that the young master can cook like this for the first time, it's a pity if it is poured out." ”
Xu Hong took a bite of a piece of pear meat with a spoon, and the pear meat had been stewed over low heat, and it melted in his mouth without waiting to chew. Xu Hong likes to eat such pear meat very much, and it didn't take long to finish eating all the pear meat in the bowl and march towards the pot again.
"Master, you taste the pear." Xu Hong said and fed a piece to Xue Chengyu's mouth, looking at him with a smile.
Xue Chengyu saw Xu Hong so happy, opened his mouth and ate the pear pieces into his mouth, this was the first time Xu Hong took the initiative to feed him something to cherish, and when the pear meat was in his stomach, Xue Chengyu knew that his craftsmanship had not yet reached the point where it was difficult to swallow.
While drinking the pear water in the bowl, Xu Hong felt a little sour in his heart for some reason, and his eyes gradually turned red. Xu Hong put down the bowl and sniffled unconsciously.
"Thank you, young master, for cooking pear water for me, it's been a long time since anyone took care of me like this...... Thank you very much, young master......"
Xue Chengyu was dazed by this sudden thank-you, he just boiled a pot of pear water, why should he thank him like this?
"Xiao Hong told me that Xie is too outward? You are my beloved, and it is not all common sense to do these things for you, why should you be grateful? ”
A few simple words reached Xu Hong's heart, leaving Xu Hong speechless for a while. Yes, he is his lover, so why say thank you for all this in common sense.
"I heard you say that you like to eat braised fish, and today at noon I asked the kitchen to make it, and I can also touch your light."
Hearing that there was braised fish, Xu Hong's eyes lit up instantly, grabbed Xue Chengyu's arm, and asked eagerly, "Really?" ”
"Really, if you don't believe it, go to the kitchen and maybe see them killing fish." As soon as the words fell, Xue Chengyu himself was amused, who has nothing to do to watch the process of killing fish, is it too idle?
"The young master is so kind to me." Xu Hongxiao's eyes were bent into an arc.
Xue Chengyu likes to see Xu Hong smile, as long as he can make Xu Hong live happily every day, let alone boil pear water to make braised fish, even if he is asked to pick the stars in the sky, he is willing.
As long as it is what Xu Hong wants, what he can give, he is willing to share with Xu Hong.
