When Chun Tao woke up again, it was already night, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Kuiruo's back. "You're still there?"

"Awake?" Zhou Kuiruo turned around, stared at her, walked to the edge of the bed, sat down and touched her forehead. "How does it feel?"

"Much better, no dizziness."

"Hungry?"

"I'm hungry." Chun Tao slept all day, woke up at noon and drank medicine and went back to sleep, counting that he hadn't eaten all day, and his stomach was already empty.

"I'll cook you something to eat, and you won't get out of bed." Before leaving, Zhou Kuiruo also helped Chun Tao carefully cover the quilt.

Didn't I catch a cold? How does it feel like a broken leg, and I won't even let the bed go. As soon as Zhou Kuiruo left, Chun Tao put on her coat, got out of bed, and walked to the table where Zhou Kuiruo was sitting just now.

Chun Tao flipped through the book on the table and found that he was reading "Yi", Chun Tao was not interested in this, so he put it down after flipping through it once or twice, and walked out of the room.

"Didn't you stay in bed?" Zhou Kuiruo heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and when he turned around, he saw Chun Tao.

"I stayed in bed all day, and I slept with a sore back, and I wanted to walk."

Seeing that she had put on her coat, Zhou Kuiruo didn't say anything more, beckoned, and called her to the stove, by his side. "Come here, sit over here."

Chun Tao sat beside Zhou Kuiruo, leaning on her shoulders and stretching out her hand to bake the fire. Zhou Kuiruo threw a piece of wood into it, and grabbed Chun Tao's hand when he was done. "Why are your hands so cold?"

In fact, Zhou Kuiruo didn't do anything, but Chun Tao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She blinked her eyes away and didn't withdraw her hand. Although Zhou Kuiruo didn't see her shyness, her confiscated hand had already made him giggle happily.

"What are you cooking?"

"Cook some noodles, okay?" Zhou Kuiruo stared at Chun Tao, who raised her eyebrows and looked at the pot.

"Then you're not going?"

"Right away." Zhou Kuiruo was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled, let go of Chun Tao's hand with a smile, and got up to cook noodles.

What's so funny? Chun Tao looked at Zhou Kuiruo's brisk pace, a little puzzled.

"Let's eat!" Chun Tao looked at Qing Shuimian, who only had cabbage and noodles, smiled bitterly, looked at Zhou Kuiruo, and looked at it once or twice before lowering his head and taking a bite.

Fortunately, the taste is still very normal. Not very salty and no strange taste.

Seeing that Chun Tao swallowed very slowly, Zhou Kuiruo asked tentatively. "Doesn't it taste good?"

"Not really... It's not delicious, it's just..."Chun Tao suddenly laughed, and Zhou Kuiruo laughed too. "I just didn't think so... So delicious. ”

"I can make fires and porridge for the rest..."

Except for the taste of the noodles, the rest is still okay, at least the noodles and dishes are cooked. Chun Tao just ate a bowl of noodles, put down the bowl, and Zhou Kuiruo brought her another bowl.

"This..."Chun Tao looked at the medicine, and then looked at him. As soon as I finished eating, I was... Just drink medicine? ”

"You're not feeling well, get plenty of rest. It's so late, you still have to rest, and you can rest early if you drink the medicine early. Hurry up! ”

"But I've slept for so long, I really can't sleep, and I've just eaten and can't sleep." Chun Tao took the medicine, but he didn't drink it. It's not that she doesn't want to drink, it's just that she's too full now to pour anything into her stomach.

Zhou Kuiruo thought for a while, "If you leave it alone, it will be cold after a while, and drinking it is not good for your health." In this way, how about you drink the medicine first and not go to sleep right away? ”

"Okay!" Looking at Zhou Kuiruo's determined eyes, Chun Tao knew that it was useless for him to say more.

After drinking the medicine, Chun Tao followed Zhou Kuiruo for a walk in the backyard.

"Are you really better?" Zhou Kuiruo was still worried about Chun Tao's body, so he asked after taking a step or two.

"It's really much better. I think Lin Tian gets along well with you? Chun Tao didn't want to talk about his physical condition anymore, so as not to be forcibly escorted back by him.

"Like you said, he is very clever, and although he is illiterate, he is still very good as a scholar. Are you really okay? After talking about Lin Tian, Zhou Kuiruo went around to Chun Tao's body again.

"That's good, at first I was worried that you wouldn't get along." Chun Tao didn't respond to Zhou Kuiruo's worries at all.

"I think it's cold, let's go back to the room!"

"It's... It's only been a while. "The two had just entered the backyard and hadn't walked a few steps yet.

"It's too cold, you've been gone for a while, it's time to go back."

"Don't!" Chun Tao simply refused, and took a big step out of the range where Zhou Kuiruo could hold her.

"You... Slow down! Chun Tao walked quickly, and Zhou Kuiruo was worried that she would fall, so he hurriedly relented. Okay, if you want to go, go slowly! ”

Zhou Kuiruo stepped forward and took her hand, and the two of them chatted and wandered around in the backyard, and the previous unhappiness gradually dissipated.

"You're going to sleep here?" After Zhou Kuiruo sent Chun Tao back to the room, he began to undress and prepare for bed.

Zhou Kuiruo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, this is also my room, right?" Are you really going to sleep in a separate room with me all the time? ”

Chun Tao scratched her neck in embarrassment, "No, it's just..."

"Forgot for a while? Forgot that I am your husband? Zhou Kuiruo raised his eyebrows and approached Chun Tao.

Chun Tao's eyes looked at it, and she didn't plan to answer. "Sleep!" Although Chun Tao slept all day and is not very sleepy now, the best excuse at the moment is to sleep.

Zhou Kuiruo extinguished the candle and hugged Chun Tao in his arms as soon as he lay down. Chun Tao was fished into his arms, and the person stiffened, but slowly relaxed.

Zhou Kuiruo noticed the change in Chun Tao, hooked the corners of his mouth in the dark, and tightened the arm holding her a little.

Chun Tao was woken up by Zhou Kuiruo in the morning, she rubbed her eyes and looked at him. "What time is it?"

"It's not early, Lamei has already prepared everything, are you going to the county seat today?"

"Go!" Chun Tao got dressed, she thought she couldn't sleep last night, but she fell asleep quickly, and she couldn't wake up in the morning. The more I sleep, the sleepier I get!

"Can you physically take it?"

"I'm already well, besides, it cost a lot of money to see a doctor yesterday, so it's important to make money."

"In my opinion, the body is more important, you don't overwork."

"Let's hold on for a while! After a while, the dividends of the prayer building were taken, and our life was better. ”

"Okay! But you have to put your body first, you know? Zhou Kuiruo knew that Chun Tao had made up her mind and would not compromise easily, and remembered what he promised her, so he had to agree.

"Yes." When Chun Tao arrived at the stove room, Lamei was almost ready, and she was frying twist flowers.

"What do you want me to help with?" Lin Tian and Lamei turned their heads to look at her when they heard Chun Tao's voice, and then they were busy again.

"Are you feeling better?" Lamei was busy tying twist flowers, and she didn't dare to take her eyes off it, for fear of overblowing.

"It's much better, I don't feel anything anymore." Chun Tao's illness came and went quickly.

Chun Tao looked around and found the sweet potato porridge in the pot next to her, so she washed the jar and put the porridge up. "I heard that yesterday was September and October, and they went to sell it themselves?"

"Yes! You've been asleep for so long, and I'm afraid I'll delay the business, so I did it and let them go. ”

"You did it alone?"

"Lin Tianyou helps me, if I am alone, I will really be too busy."

Chun Tao glanced at Lin Tian, who was burning the fire, and did not speak. Lin Tian also glanced up at her, and then turned back disdainfully.

Seeing his expression, Chun Tao chuckled and shook his head, and went out with the porridge.

After breakfast, Chun Tao took September and October to the county seat and asked them about yesterday.

"There weren't many people who bought it yesterday, it seems that everyone's New Year's goods are ready and they don't plan to buy them again." September held his head and looked at the crowd walking in front of him.

As soon as September said this, Chun Tao reacted, and in a few days it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the new year was coming.

But how are you going to spend this year? Chun Tao rubbed her temples with a headache. When she fainted, she spent a lot of money to hire a doctor, and the money she earned a few days ago was basically spent, and she returned to the pre-liberation period.

"I hope more people will buy today." However, Chun Tao's hopes were ultimately disappointed for an afternoon, and the contents of their two baskets were not sold much.

"Forget it, let's go back today!" Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on the street, Chun Tao packed up her things and went home.

The next few days of stall business is not very good, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and everyone's New Year's goods have been purchased. Seeing that the business was getting worse and worse, the spring peaches were sold for a few days, but there was really no way, so they closed the stall.

The things of worshipping the ancestors and sacrificing the stove were all done by Lamei and Aunt Zhou, and after Chun Tao collected the stall, he was idle at home all day. In the past, he could also train thick ink and danqing, but now this task has been snatched away by Lin Tian.

Chun Tao had no choice but to hold her head and watch Aunt Zhou and Lamei make clothes, bored fugue.

"Spring peach, spring peach!" Lamei called twice, and Chun Tao came back to her senses and looked at her.

"March Niang told me that day that she planned to let us have a reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, right here, okay?"

"I'm fine, just let my mother agree." Chun Tao looked at Lamei innocently and then at Aunt Zhou.

"March Niang told me, I'm nothing, but now it's you in charge, and it still depends on you." Aunt Zhou's words directly handed over the sovereignty of the family to Chun Tao, although Chun Tao had already exercised this right before this.

Lamei smiled with relief, took two stitches, and raised her head to look at Chun Tao. "And what do you say?"

"Of course I can, it's convenient here, and you can't go out." After Chun Tao finished speaking, she calculated the day's meal in her mind to see how much it would cost.

"March Niang said, I don't want you to prepare meals that day. She just wants everyone to have a meal together, and thanks you for your help by the way. ”

Chun Tao frowned, "But... But Uncle Zhao is seeing a doctor..."

Aunt Zhou suddenly interrupted Chun Tao's words, "Chun Tao, March Niang just wants to thank you, if you don't even give her this kind of opportunity, she will definitely feel indebted to you, and her heart will be even more uncomfortable." ”

"I'm just worried... I know, so let them prepare! ”

Aunt Zhou and Lamei smiled and continued to be busy with the work in their hands, Chun Tao had nothing to do, and directly lay on the table and stared at them.

Seeing her well-behaved lying on the table, Lamei couldn't help but tug on her tied pigtails. Chun Tao turned her head to look at her strangely, Lamei had already withdrawn her hand and was concentrating on sewing clothes.
