Chapter 12: Master and Servant
How can A-Niang get better, she has been sick since the New Year, and at first it was just a little wind and cold, A-Niang didn't care about dragging it all the time, and she couldn't get out of bed until now. Every time I went back, I left money for my mother, she could have gone to the doctor to get medicine, but she didn't, why? Because she has a drunkard father, drunkards are drunkards! Recently, I have become obsessed with gambling, how can the little monthly money I get back fill such a home.
But what can vanilla do? That's her own father, she was sold into the Chen family since she was a child, and Ah Niang also washes and washes people all year round, and now even the little brother who is just eight years old follows Ah Niang to run an errand and pass a word to others. Three members of a family of four are making money to support their families, but there is a father like that in the family, how can they raise it!
Now that person actually started the idea of the little brother and wanted to sell the little brother, Ah Niang dragged the illness and stopped him and was beaten, and Vanilla had no choice but to give him his last belongings, so that he could keep the little brother. Vanilla sometimes wonders, is that her own father? These bad things at home, vanilla never mentions them in front of people, let alone the girl asks about them casually!
Everyone has their own story, and seeing that Vanilla obviously didn't want to say it, Li Qin didn't continue to ask.
Everyone has the deepest little secret hidden in their hearts, and this secret is not wanted to be told to anyone. It was left in the dead of night, and I took it out by myself, and slowly tasted the bitterness.
Just like this vanilla, or Li Qin himself.
"Okay, you go down first! I want to lie down for a while. Li Qin said, slowly closing his eyes.
Vanilla breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the girl's eyes closed, there was a faint flush on her snow-white face, her eyebrows were lightly swept away, and her long, curled eyelashes cast a graceful fan shape under her eyelids. Vanilla looked a little stunned, she thought, the girl is so good-looking!
came back to his senses, said yes softly, and then slowly retreated.
After an afternoon break, Li Qin's spirits improved a lot.
After dinner, it was still early, Li Qin ordered the grains to grind, and he took a volume of scriptures and copied it with peace of mind.
In a few days, it will be the death day of Li Qin's mother, and Li Qin can't do anything else, so he can only copy a few volumes of scriptures, which is more or less a heart. After all, he lives for someone else's daughter, and what he can do for her is what he does.
There was incense lit in the room, and Li Qin sat there quietly, writing carefully stroke by stroke. Repeat it silently in your heart over and over again, cleansing your mind.
In this way, when Vanilla came to call Li Qin, it was almost the second watch. Li Qin got up and sat all night, and with Li Qin's body, he didn't feel tired.
Li Qin has always paid attention to health preservation, and only used a bowl of porridge for dinner. Although it is just a bowl of porridge, it is made with several medicinal materials according to Li Qin's guidance, which is very expensive for Li Qin. But the expensive thing is a bowl of porridge, and you don't feel hungry at all. Li Qin in the middle of the night didn't want to trouble people, so he could only endure it.
How can a caring grain make her girl starving! She prepared hot milk early in the morning, and Li Qin brought hot milk when she came out of the clean room. Li Qin thought that drinking some of this would help him sleep, and he didn't object.
Li Qin saw that Li'er still wanted to speak and stopped, and sighed in his heart: "I see that you have been holding back for an afternoon, and you will rest immediately, don't you say it?" ”
Thinking of the news she received in the afternoon, Li'er was a little depressed, and lowered her head and said, "I really can't hide anything from the girl!" ”
Is that really wrong? Li'er went out at noon, and when she came back, it was like she had something to say. But she didn't say it, and it wasn't a big deal, so Li Qin didn't ask, and she didn't think that there was really something.
"I know that I can't hide it, so let's listen to it, and I can help you with details!" Li Qin moved his wrist, he had been copying scriptures for a long time at night, and he didn't feel it before, but his wrist felt sour at this time.
"Girl, I went out in the afternoon, and met Chang Shan beside the fifth young master halfway, he gave me some ointment, saying that the fifth young master personally went to find it, because I was afraid of disturbing the girl's rest, so I asked Chang Shan to send it, and I happened to meet me halfway, so he asked me to bring it back." As she spoke, she took out a small box from her purse around her waist and handed it to Li Qin.
Li Qin stretched out his hand to take it, and the delicate box turned around in his hand, then opened it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, a faint medicinal fragrance. "But it's a good thing, it's hard for Chen Wu!"
"Girl, what's in there?" Grain looked at her girl curiously, thinking about what was in the box, she was a little far away, and when the girl opened the box, she could still smell the fragrance.
"Medicine, scar removal!" Li Qin gently covered the small box and handed it to Li'er. "The medicine is a good medicine, but I don't need it, you can find a chance to return it to him tomorrow!"
The man couldn't touch it, he only said two words, and he was almost killed after saying hello, and now if this medicine is accepted, there may be some trouble in the future! Li Qin finally survived, and she was most afraid of trouble, so she wanted to live well.
Grains are a little puzzled, since it is a good thing, why the girl didn't leave it, and it was also a scar removal. Although there is no scar on the girl's body, the mark on the neck will not go away for a while.
"Girl, you might as well keep it! Sooner or later, you wipe it, and maybe in a few days the marks on your neck will disappear! Grain said tentatively.
"No, even if I don't use medicine, I will be fine in a few days, but if I keep this, maybe something will happen in the future, so it's better to return it." Li Qin didn't want to say anything else, so he turned around and went into the inner room.
Li'er looked at the box in her hand, but obediently put it away, ready to find a chance to return it tomorrow. Seeing that his own girl had already entered, he hurriedly followed in.
"Girl, there is one more thing, my father is coming in a few days, do you want to see it?" Li'er originally wanted to wait for Daddy to come and talk to the girl, but thinking of some things about the girl in recent days, she thought it would be better to tell the girl first.
"Yes, let's see you!" Li Qin thought for a moment and replied. She remembered that the last time was at the end of the year, when Uncle Sun came to Chen's house to give New Year's gifts, he met in a hurry. If Uncle Sun is here, he will definitely want to meet him.
Li'er's heart was relieved, but when she saw the girl talking, the person had already lay down.
Li'er put her mind at ease, and saw that her girl had fallen asleep, so she stepped forward to cover the girl with a brocade quilt, and then withdrew. From childhood to adulthood, Daddy and Auntie told themselves to take good care of the girl, if something happened to the girl, they would be counted.
Daddy is not as good as Auntie, he didn't take good care of the girl, if Auntie knew that the most he would do would be to beat the soles of his shoes.
But if Daddy knew, it would be miserable. Daddy won't give himself a meal like Auntie, Daddy will only talk about himself endlessly. Tell me over and over how the old lady saved her family, if it weren't for the old lady, her family would have starved to death, how can there be today's life, and I can't wait to engrave these in my heart.
