Chapter 73: Mending the Roof

Early in the morning, Zhou Yiran woke up, frowned, sat up, and felt like she had collapsed.

Zhang Daniu came in with a bowl of decoction from the medicine he had collected in the mountains. The peasant family still recognizes the herbs for treating wind and cold, after all, this is a common disease, and they know a little bit.

When I saw that she was awake, I walked over and gave her the medicine.

"After drinking and getting some sleep, it should be better."

Zhou Yiran rubbed her temples and asked Zhang Daniu, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"When I came back yesterday, I found you hot and cold. Drink this bowl of medicine and get a good night's sleep, and you will wake up better. ”

"Where did this medicine come from?" It should be just dawn at this time, and it is impossible for him to go to the town to buy medicine.

"I went to the mountains to find it, and I drank the medicine first, and it didn't have that effect when it was cold."

After listening to his words, he didn't speak again, took the bowl, and took a sip of dry medicine. Suffering, except that suffering is suffering.

After drinking the medicine, Zhang Daniu did not give her candied fruit this time, because there was no more candied fruit at home.

When she saw that Zhang Daniu didn't take out the candied fruit after she drank the medicine as before, she knew that the candied fruit at home was gone.

"I'll go to the town to buy candied fruit later, and the lady will drink saliva and rinse her mouth." While she drank the medicine, he poured a glass of warm boiling water.

The water was still boiled before he boiled the medicine, and now it is not very hot, and the temperature is just right.

She took the water handed by Zhang Daniu, took a sip, gurgled twice in her mouth, then spit on the ground, and then took another sip, this time she drank it.

returned the cup to Zhang Daniu, and then said: "Don't go to the town to buy candied fruit, I'm used to drinking this medicine, I'm not afraid of hardship, let's not spend that unnecessary money." ”

After hearing these words, Zhang Daniu's ears were still quite uncomfortable. As a man, let his woman worry about money all the time, what kind of man is he.

He decided to make the roof of the house today, and then go into the mountains to hunt in the morning, and weave bamboo beds at home in the afternoon.

"Da Niu, how do you know herbs?" She continued with the question.

Zhang Daniu scratched his head, and then told her: "The peasant family knows a little bit, and only when they are seriously ill will they see the doctor, and they can find some herbs by themselves when they are affected by the wind and cold." ”

"Oh, I see, no wonder." Suddenly felt that the man in front of him really knew a lot, and began to worship it, thinking that she also wanted to learn, so he said to Zhang Daniu, "You take me out with me another day, and I also have to learn more things in case I need it." ”

"Okay, I'll take you there when you're well, I'll bring you something to eat, and have a good rest after eating." Zhang Daniu did not refuse, but agreed with a smile.

She nodded, and Zhang Daniu went out.

After a while, Zhang Daniu came back, holding a rice bowl full of vegetables in his hand, came to her, and handed it to her.

"I'll feed you."

"No, I'll come by myself, you should have taken care of me last night, you should have gone to dinner too!" I can do it myself. Although he seemed to be in good spirits, his eyes betrayed him, because there were bloodshot whites in his eyes, and he could tell at a glance that he had not slept well.

After speaking, he snatched the dishes and chopsticks from his hand, and urged before eating: "You go to eat quickly." ”

Zhang Daniu nodded: "What do you need to call me." ”

"Okay." She nodded.

Zhang Da Niu pursed his mouth, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he turned around and left the room with a smile.

After Zhang Daniu left, she looked at the food in her hand, some of which she couldn't eat and had no appetite, perhaps because of illness. But in order not to drag Zhang Daniu down, she forced herself to eat it. You can only get better fast if you're full, aren't you?

……

After the meal, Zhang Daniu went to borrow a long ladder and came back, and by the way, he also came back with a bundle of straw.

He first made mud into mud in the yard, then filled a bucket with a bucket and climbed the stairs with straw.

He didn't get the room he slept in first, but in a separate room, intending to go to the room where he slept last.

Xiao Miaozi came over, and before he entered the door, he saw Uncle Da Niu on the roof, and when he ran in, he greeted Uncle Da Niu on the roof.

"Uncle Da Niu, what are you doing up there?"

Zhang Daniu heard the voice and glanced back, saw that it was Xiao Miaozi, and said with a smile: "Repair the roof, you came to play with your aunt?" ”

"Well, uncle, is your aunt at home?" Xiao Miaozi saw that she had come in for a while, and her aunt hadn't come out yet, thinking that she had gone out?

"At home, but I'm afraid my aunt won't be able to play with you today."

"Ah, why?" Xiao Miaozi didn't understand, and stared at Uncle Niu on the roof.

"Auntie is sick, Xiao Miaozi should go home, it would be bad if it was passed on to you."

After hearing this, Xiao Miaozi opened her mouth in surprise and said, "What kind of disease does my aunt have?" ”

"It's cold."

Xiao Miaozi breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was just a cold, and he thought it was a serious illness just now.

Nodding his head, he said to Uncle Niu on the roof: "Okay, then I'll go back, and when my aunt is well, I'll come back." ”

Zhang Daniu laughed, watched Xiao Miaozi go back, and continued to repair the roof.

Zhou Yiran in the house slept after eating, and slept until noon.

When she woke up, she felt slimy, she sat up, got out of bed, and came out.

Zhang Daniu was about to go to the house with food, and when he saw her come out, he put the food on the table, and then helped her to sit on the stool beside her.

"How? Do you feel better? ”

She nodded slightly: "It's a lot better, when is this?" ”

"At noon, I'll pour you a glass of water, drink and eat." After Zhang Daniu finished speaking, he went into the house and poured her a glass of water.

After she drank it, she looked up at Zhang Daniu and said to him, "I want to take a bath." ”

"Don't wash it, just wipe it, and wash it when you're well." Zhang Daniu didn't want her condition to get worse.

After listening to Zhang Daniu's words, she thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, listen to you." ”

Seeing that she agreed, Zhang Daniu laughed, pointed to the food on the table, and said, "Let's eat!" ”

"Okay." I happened to be a little hungry, so I picked up my chopsticks and started eating.

At this time, she didn't have the feeling of not wanting to eat in the morning, and at this time she had an appetite.

After taking two bites, he frowned when he saw that he was still standing here.

"Don't you eat it?"

Zhang Daniu came back to his senses, nodded with a smile, and then went to the kitchen to serve the rice and bring out the dishes.

When he was gone, she looked outside and saw the pile of mud on the ground, then looked up at the roof.

She found that no light had penetrated through the roof, and that the holes that had been in place were now gone.

Zhang Daniu came in with food, and when he saw her looking at the roof, he told her: "I repaired the roof in the morning, and now we are left with the house." ”

After listening to his words, she thought that it should be because she was afraid of affecting herself, so she didn't get that house! Thinking about it, he said to him: "You got the roof of our house in the afternoon, and I'm much better now." ”

"Okay." Zhang Daniu also saw that her face was not so ugly, so he nodded, "By the way, Xiao Miaozi came to you in the morning, but I was afraid that the child would catch the wind and cold, so I sent her back." ”

She nodded, agreeing with Da Niu's approach, I heard that Xiao Miaozi has not been in good health since she was a child, and her resistance is definitely not good, if she infects her with a cold, then Xiao Miaozi's parents are busy enough.

"In the afternoon, I will finish repairing the roof, and I will go into the mountain once."

"What are you doing in the mountains?" Zhou Yiran stopped and looked at him.

"Pick some medicine, by the way, see if you can hunt something back, you just had a miscarriage, and the wind is cold, you can make up for it." Zhang Daniu is now quite worried that her body will collapse.

After listening to his words, she said, "Take me with you." ”

Zhang Daniu was stunned, looked at her, and said, "Lady, it's better for you to be at home." ”

"I'm fine, I'm sweating from exercise, and I'm getting better quickly." In the past, she had a cold like this, and after taking the medicine, she went for a run, and then went home to take a shower and be in the bed, and the next day she was fine.

Zhang Daniu saw that she had to go, nodded his head, and then said: "Okay, the road in the mountains is not easy to walk, you have to follow me when the time comes." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Zhou Yiran's face immediately showed a smile and nodded again and again: "Okay." ”

After the meal, Zhang Daniu brushed the bowl, then boiled water for her to wipe her body, and after she finished wiping, she began to repair the roof.

She sat in the shade of the yard.

Seeing Zhang Daniu holding a bundle of straw and carrying a bucket of dirt in his hand, I was curious about how he repaired the roof.

Seeing that he spread the straw on it, and then covered it with soil, it was spread next to each other, it was very neat, back and forth a few times, and it was done, looking at the new roof, and said to Zhang Daniu: "Is this good?" ”

"Not yet, I'm going to get some bamboos tomorrow and keep them pressed to avoid being blown away by the wind."

As soon as he said this, she saw that the bamboo strips pressed before the roof were gone, and after looking around the yard, she didn't find the old bamboo strips, thinking that they should be covered!

Zhang Daniu came down, clapped his hands, came to her side, and said, "Okay, we can go out." ”

After saying that, he went to get the back basket, the small hoe, the bow and arrows.

"Is this really okay?" She finally felt that it would rain tonight, and she didn't know why she had this premonition, obviously the sky was blue at this time, and it didn't look like it would change at all.

Zhang Daniu put the basket on his back, the bow and arrow on his shoulder, turned his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go!" ”

He said that it was okay, so what did she worry about, nodded and followed him out.

The people in the village began to go down to the ground at this time, and when they saw Zhang Daniu carrying a basket and a bow and arrow, they knew that he was going to enter the mountain, but when they looked at Zhou Yiran beside him, they laughed.

"Da Niu, be so careful, take your daughter-in-law away now?"

Zhang Daniu didn't speak, just smiled.

The big cow didn't speak, and she couldn't speak anymore.

When everyone saw that he didn't speak, they didn't laugh at him anymore, what should they do.

But this big cow's daughter-in-law is really unlucky, since she came, this big cow doesn't seem to have stopped worrying, miscarriage, and then fell into the water, this morning I saw Zhang Da Niu collecting medicine, I'm afraid it's a cold.

This beautiful girl is not so easy to support, and her body bones are still not as good as our peasant girl.
