Chapter 14: Sleepiness
Early the next morning, the first thing Shen Zhengwen did when he got up was to go to see the snow.
I don't know if there was a lot of snow last night, and if it rained too little, it wouldn't be enough to solve this drought.
When he opened the door, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
The whole world is covered in snow.
The eaves of the house are covered with long icicles, which are as bright as glass.
The snow had stopped, but the night had passed and there was a thick layer of snow in front of the door.
When you step on it, it will make a "creaking" sound.
Shen Zhengwen happily stepped through the snow and walked into the kitchen, first squeezing a small pot of goat's milk as usual.
After dealing with it, he returned to the back room with the hot goat's milk, but found that Xiao Niannian hadn't gotten up yet.
Xiao Niannian has to get up at this point every morning to drink milk, which has become a habit.
Li Rulan had also gotten up, and when she saw this, she walked to the cradle and patted Xiao Niannian's face gently.
"Niannian, get up and drink milk."
Seeing that Xiao Niannian didn't react, Li Rulan was startled, and hurriedly probed Xiao Niannian's breath with her index finger.
Fortunately, my face was normal, my breathing was steady, and I didn't look like I was sick.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she was relieved.
"Look at what you're worried about, our family is still young, and it's normal to snooze for a while." Shen Zhengwen quipped, "You forgot that when Tuanzi Yuanzi was just born, didn't you sleep day and night." Then I'll take the goat's milk to the pot and warm it first, and then drink it when Niannian wakes up. ”
The five Tiezi brothers also woke up one after another, and when they saw that it was snowing, they all ran excitedly to build a snowman.
finally snowed, and Shen Zhengwen didn't stop them, letting them play sweating profusely one by one.
Huzi and Dango Yuanzi worked together, and it didn't take long to build a snowman.
Tuanzi waved a shovel and excitedly ran to Shen Zhengwen, who was clearing the snow in the yard, and shouted: "Daddy, come and see, I don't like my sister to build this snowman?" ”
Tiezi, who was feeding grass to the goats in the kitchen, poked his head out to look at the snowman when he heard the sound, and laughed, "My sister is not so ugly!" ”
Dango frowned and stared at the snowman earnestly and again, and finally came to a conclusion. "Well, it's not as good-looking as my sister. But it's just as cute as her sister, just as white and tender. ”
"By the way, the snow is so fun, let's let my sister come out and have a look!" Huzi said, dropped what he was holding and ran to the main house.
When he opened the door and walked in, he saw his mother looking at his sister with a sad face.
"Mother, isn't my sister awake yet?"
Li Rulan shook her head, feeling a little nervous.
It's almost midday, and Xiao Niannian should wake up no matter how snooze.
The child is only so old, and he will be hungry if he sleeps for a long time, not to mention that he can eat it.
Shen Zhengwen looked up at the sky, put down the broom and walked into the house.
"Text." Li Rulan saw him as if she had seen the backbone of the Lord's heart, and asked with a worried face, "Niannian hasn't woken up yet, what do you say this should be?" ”
"Let's take a look at it again, our family is a little lucky star, and it won't be so easy to get into trouble." Shen Zhengwen tucked the corner of Xiao Niannian's quilt, the joy on his face had disappeared because of the snow, and he looked at the little man in the cradle with a sad face.
"If I don't wake up by noon, I'll go to the doctor."
Although Shen Zhengwen knows a little bit of medical skills, he is limited to some minor problems such as fever and brain fever.
The thought of this seemingly innocent symptom made him helpless.
He had some doubts in his heart, thinking that he was usually fine, why was it so abnormal that there was a heavy snowfall in Taoli Village today.
Could it be that the abnormality of longing is related to this snow?
Shen Zhengwen felt as if he had caught something, but he couldn't think of the crux of the problem, so he could only stop thinking about it.
Soon it was noon, but Xiao Niannian was still asleep, without any symptoms to wake up.
Her brothers shouted her name, and she didn't react at all.
At this moment, the Shen family was all panicked.
Shen Zhengwen grabbed a jacket and put it on his body indiscriminately, and instructed as he walked out: "You guys are watching Nian Nian at home, and I'll go find Wang Cripple to take a look." ”
Wang Cripple was not a cripple before, and only came to Taoli Village two years ago.
He used to open a pharmacy in Qingzhou City and was a well-known doctor in the city.
It's just that I didn't know what happened later, the pharmacy was smashed, not to mention, his leg was also lame, and finally he ended up in Taoli Village, where Li Zheng took him in and made him a small village doctor in Taoli Village.
Wang Cripple's house was not far away, and Shen Zhengwen rushed to his house in less than half an hour.
But he stood outside the courtyard and knocked on the door, and after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door, which alarmed the neighbors of the lame king.
"Don't knock, the lame king went to the city yesterday and hasn't come back yet."
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
After Shen Zhengwen thanked his neighbors, he hurried to his house.
When she got home, Xiao Niannian was still sleeping quietly.
When Li Rulan saw him coming back, she hurriedly asked, "How did you come back alone?" What about Dr. Wang? Why didn't I come with you? ”
"Dr. Wang went to the city and hasn't come back yet." Shen Zhengwen explained, "Now that the road is closed by heavy snow, it is estimated that he will not be able to come back for a while." Nian Nian can't delay any longer, we can't wait at home all the time, so I'm going to take Nian Nian directly into the city to find the doctor. ”
With that, he took out a small wooden box from under the bed.
There were only five copper coins in the small wooden box, which was the last savings of the Shen family.
However, if you go to the city to see a doctor, these five copper coins are afraid that they will not be enough.
Shen Zhengwen took out the copper coin and put it in his sleeve pocket, went to the kitchen and took out a dozen eggs, and carefully put them into a bamboo basket.
To prevent breakage, he also put a thick layer of grass under the eggs, which was also covered with a layer of cotton cloth.
At that time, if the consultation fee is not enough, he can use the eggs as collateral.
Eggs are already valuable, not to mention that in this disaster year, the value will only be higher, and he believes that no one will refuse.
Then he found a water bladder and poured the goat's milk that had been warm in the pot into the water bladder to prevent Nian Nian from waking up hungry halfway.
When everything he wanted to bring was ready, he found a sheet to tie to his body and made a simple baby carrier.
Then put Xiao Niannian into the strap with the quilt, and planned to carry it into the city like this.
Almost ready, Shen Zhengwen said to Tiezi: "Tiezi, you go with me to the city to see my sister's doctor, remember to dress thickly, maybe we have to spend the night in the city tonight." ”
"Okay." Tetsuko agreed, ready to go and find thick clothes.
The bolt suddenly stood a step forward and took the initiative to ask: "Dad, let the eldest brother stay at home to take care of his mother and younger brothers, and I'll go with you!" ”
Shen Zhengwen thought for two seconds, Tiezi can cook, and staying can indeed take better care of his family.
So he nodded and agreed: "It's okay, the iron stays at home, you can go with me." ”
In this way, the father and son stepped on the snow and walked in the direction of Qingzhou City step by step.
Li Rulan and the four brothers Huzi looked at their departing backs, and their hearts were in a ball.
I hope that Nian Nian will be safe and that everyone will return safely.
