Chapter Thirty-Nine: Luo Ni'er
"Su Niang, cough cough, don't chill the child's heart, don't cough cough quickly, Wen Qian's daughter-in-law cough cough cough ......" The person on the bed coughed as if he was going to cough out his lungs, and Granny Su immediately took the medicine that Chen Xiuyan soaked before for Mrs. Yuan to drink.
I don't know if it was because of the water or because of the medicine in the water, after Granny Su fed Mrs. Yuan to drink, she suddenly relieved her cough.
"After drinking the medicine, I have a good rest, and in the last few days, I have eaten good and light porridge and vegetables, and I will come again after dinner." Chen Xiuyan said.
"Consultation fee ......"
"I'll charge it when it works." Chen Xiuyan interrupted Granny Su's words, "By the way, my medicine is not cheap, but I am in the neighborhood, Granny Su, you take more care of the family, so you will give a discount." β
Chen Xiuyan stretched out a finger, "One tael of silver a day." β
Granny Su said with a flat expression, "If it is really like what Dr. Liu said, you can see it in a few days, and this medicine should be a little more expensive." β
"Dr. Chen is really kind-hearted." Dr. Liu has become more and more respectful of Chen Xiuyan, "Being able to be anxious and give different people different prices, so that everyone can enjoy such good treatment, Dr. Chen's personality is admirable." β
Chen Xiuyan rarely shifted her gaze, this old doctor was so praised in front of so many people, to be honest, she felt a little empty.
"Doctor Liu, go slowly, I'll go back first, there is still work for me to do at home."
"Understand, understand, Dr. Chen not only has good medical skills and good character, but also takes care of his family, so that he can wait for ......"
Chen Xiuyan unconsciously quickened her pace, Luo Wenqian followed behind her with a smile in her eyes, it seemed that her daughter-in-law was soft.
"Zhuangya, pay the money for the consultation and the carriage, and then go to the fire." Granny Su came out of the house, ordered it to open, and went to the kitchen herself to start boiling porridge and making snacks.
Not long after staying in the house, my wife fell asleep, and if the effect was really so good, she should make some snacks and send them to express her gratitude and apologies.
When the porridge was boiled and the red beans were boiled through the sand, Granny Su entered Mrs. Yuan's house, and the windows in the house were open at this time, after all, Chen Xiuyan said that she should keep ventilation and gently lift the curtain, Granny Su was full of relief, Mrs. Yuan slept very peacefully, even if she coughed, it would come every once in a while, and she would not wake people up.
Seeing that Mrs. Yuan's forehead was sweating, Granny Su changed her clothes neatly and gently, the whole process did not wake people up, wiped her forehead with her hands, it seemed that there was no heat, Granny Su was surprised, she used to see the best doctor, and she didn't see it so quickly.
At Luo Wenqian's house, Luo Mingqing had already come back with a donkey cart, but when he turned around, he went out to collect fresh grass with his back, he was in charge of the donkey cart at home, and he was also taking care of the donkey.
After a while, Luo Mingqing took the donkey cart that had eaten and drunk well to pick up the two younger brothers
Chen Xiuyan began to think about what to eat for dinner, thinking that the Luo family had never eaten bacon rice, so it would be okay to cook a meal at night, with a pot of soup, and then scrambled eggs.
Luo Mingxin's craftsmanship, Chen Xiuyan didn't dare to agree, it was not as good as himself, as for Luo Wenqian, he ......
"What is the lady thinking?" Luo Wenqian walked into the room and saw Chen Xiuyan in a daze, and sat down opposite her, "I don't know how many faces the lady has not seen for her husband, I didn't know that it was the famous Doctor Chen before, and if there is disrespect, I also invite a lot of lady." β
Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows, hooked the corners of her lips, and looked at Luo Wenqian, "Where, where, the prince is the guest of honor in the warden's family, and he has the fame of Xiucai, and the disrespectful one is also a concubine. β
Luo Wenqian, who had the upper hand, instantly became uncomfortable, his eyes were in a trance, his ears were pink, and he was very innocent.
"I, I'm going to see tomorrow's return gift."
Fight with me, how can you practice more cheeky, looking at Luo Wenqian who fled in the wilderness, Chen Xiuyan laughed.
"Mingxin, Mingxin, help meβ"
The sudden sound made Chen Xiuyan frown slightly, and when she walked out, she saw that the little girl who was taller than Luo Mingxin and wearing patched coarse cloth clothes and pants was hugging Luo Mingxin, and her body trembled slightly.
But there was no fear on the face on Luo Mingxin's shoulder, on the contrary, the corners of his lips exuded a sense of dissatisfaction and disdain, and his chaotic eyes were full of greed.
Chen Xiuyan was a little playful, looked straight at the little girl, and then the two sides looked at each other, the little girl's eyes were like frightened beasts, and they suddenly widened, and then changed their faces like they were scared and weak.
"Mingxin, I, I didn't come at the right time, I almost forgot, Luo Xiu just got married, this must be your little aunt, she looks really good." The little girl let go of Luo Mingxin, and lowered her head a little tiptoe, not daring to look up at Chen Xiuyan.
"I, I'll go back first."
Although the words were said like this, the little girl's footsteps did not move an inch.
"What are you going to do, just have dinner at my house today, is your stepmother torturing you again." Luo Mingxin picked up the little girl's hand, and there was a cut on the back of the hand, not very deep, but very long, and it directly crossed the entire back of the hand, "I'll see if there are any injuries on my body." β
"No, Mingxin, I'll go back today, and I'll come back in a few days, there are more elders in your family now, it's not good for you to keep me......"
"No, it's not bad." Chen Xiuyan walked over with a smile, "Mingxin, this is your friend?" I'll make more for dinner, anyway, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks. β
"Little aunt, this is Luo Ni'er, two years older than me, and she is also a relative for several generations, her mother was gone two years ago, her father remarried, and gave birth to a boy last year, and her stepmother was completely exposed, and she beat Sister Ni'er at every turn, and she was not allowed to eat, and sometimes she was still rancid." Luo Mingxin's face was full of displeasure.
"Sister Ni'er, you can try my little aunt's craftsmanship at night, it's better than my uncle and eldest brother." Luo Mingxin said with a smile.
Chen Xiuyan looked at Luo Ni'er, only to see her back to Luo Mingxin, she also handed over a provocative look, very bold, such a person was beaten by his stepmother, it was hard to believe.
Pour the cleaned white rice into a large pot, put the diced bacon, sprinkle some salt, and when the rice is almost cooked, put the chopped beans in, pour some soy sauce, and cook it for another five or six minutes, simmer for a while, and the fragrant bacon rice will be good.
The sweet loofah is stir-fried with a little lard, dipped in oil, and then poured in two large scoops of water, and after the water boils, put in the appropriate salt, the loofah is tender and soft, and it smells very appetizing.
Knock four eggs in a bowl, beat them and add chopped green onions, add salt, put them in the pot and stir-fry, golden brown out of the pot, and dinner is complete.
Luo Mingxin was busy entertaining, it was Luo Wenqian who lit the fire today, and from time to time he peeked out from behind the stove, and his straight nose shrugged one by one.
