Chapter Twenty-Six: Delivering Porridge
Following.
Jiang Saburo came back from his second brother's house and said to his wife with a happy face: "The second brother slept very deeply last night, and he didn't cough much, but he actually got rid of fever this morning." ”
"Really, oops, that's great." Chun Niang was pleasantly surprised, "Second brother, this is going to be good." ”
"It should be." Jiang Saburo smiled, "The medicine I prescribed yesterday still works, and it will improve after eating a meal." ”
"It's just too expensive, alas." Jiang Saburo shook his head and sighed, "One dose should be more consistent." ”
Chunniang didn't answer, thinking to herself, the money she took out yesterday was not enough, and if she kept spending it like this in the future, she wouldn't be able to live her own life.
But if you don't take it, you can't do it, alas, it's really sad to die.
Sakura is also very worried.
Erbo has a lung disease, which is not easy to treat, so the medicine cannot be stopped, and he must take three courses of treatment.
The three courses of treatment are about forty-five days, and if one dose is counted as five days, ten taels of silver will be obtained.
Ten taels, that's 10,000 yuan, uncles, grandparents and their own fathers, all of their money combined, not necessarily ten taels.
So, where does the money come from?
Or, how about she feed the second uncle some Wudingzhi so that he can get better soon?
Although I don't know if that thing can cure lung disease, the second uncle has improved significantly, indicating that Wudingzhi should be effective.
Thinking of this, Sakura ran to the Westinghouse and entered the cave in an instant.
The Wudingzhi in the crevices of the rock wall has gone by one-fifth, but the roof of the cave seems to have grown a lot.
But that place is too high, no matter how hard Sakura tries to get up.
Forget it, leave it alone for now, and wait until the rock wall runs out before thinking about it.
Ying Bao carefully pulled off the leaves of Wudingzhi, put them in a clean pottery bowl, and stopped when he reached 30 pieces.
I picked up a rolling stick and pounded them into a paste, added some pool water to it and stirred it, and half a bowl of transparent medicine paste was successfully born.
At noon, Jiang Saburo was boiling medicine in the courtyard of his second brother's house, and when he saw the little girl jumping up, he asked, "Has Bao'er eaten?" ”
"Hmm." Sakura squatted on the ground and stared at the bubbling medicine jar, and said, "A-Niang asked you to go home for dinner too." ”
Leng's family will not prepare the third uncle's meal here, she is not even willing to boil medicine for her husband, let alone enter the house where her husband is staying.
It is estimated that he is afraid of infection, because Li Langzhong said that those who serve in close proximity need to cover their mouths and noses with cloth towels.
Of course, Jiang Saburo and Jiang Dalang didn't worry about her coming to boil.
After all, this woman is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and it would be bad if she secretly hid the ginseng tablets and ejiao in the medicine, and she didn't do this kind of thing.
A few years ago, Jiang Erlang was sick, and she picked up the ginseng tablets in the medicine bag, and hid them under the bed together with the money, but Jiang Liu inadvertently discovered it, and she was so angry that she wanted to divorce her on the spot.
If it weren't for the fact that Erni was still young, she was pregnant with another one in her belly, and with Jiang Erlang's desperate protection, Jiang Liu would definitely send her second daughter-in-law back to her parents' house that time.
It was at that time that the three brothers of the Jiang family separated.
These things are all caused by Sakura Bao eavesdropping on her father's conversation.
"When your second uncle finishes drinking the medicine, your father will go home." Jiang Saburo said, took a piece of linen cloth to cushion his hand, opened the lid of the medicine jar and looked at it, and when he saw that it was about the same, he withdrew the charcoal fire and took a large pottery bowl to hold the medicine.
The medicinal juice was poured into a pottery bowl, which was half black and had a strong bitter taste.
Jiang Saburo saw that the little girl was staring at the medicine bowl with her eyes, afraid that she would make trouble again, and said, "Bao'er, you go back first, and Dad will go back soon." ”
Sakura blinked, "I'll wait for my father." ”
Jiang Saburo was helpless, picked up the medicine bowl and went to the West House, and advised: "Then you are not allowed to be naughty." ”
"Bao'er is not naughty, Bao'er wants to visit the second uncle."
Sakura Po jumped up and down behind her father and ran into the Westhouse where the second uncle lived.
In the west room, Erni was standing by the kang, talking to her father with a worried face.
The little girl seemed to have grown up all at once, and explained to her father in a whisper why her mother was not at home.
"Dad, my mother took my younger brother to my uncle's house, and she said that my mother-in-law was not feeling well, so she would come back after taking a look."
Jiang Erlang, who was lying on the kang, half-closed his eyes, couldn't see any expression, only clenched his palm weakly, and said in a dumb voice: "Got it." ”
Sakura was surprised.
The second uncle, Leng, actually took Huzi back to her parents' house at such a time.
Her husband is sick, what the hell is this woman thinking?
No wonder I didn't see Huzi, it turned out that he was taken away by his mother.
"Second brother, it's time to drink medicine." Jiang Saburo put the medicine bowl on the small table, looked back at the little girl, and warned her not to move the medicine bowl, so he went to help the second brother get up.
Sakuraho: ......
She hadn't done anything.
When she turned around and saw Sister Erni, she was also looking at herself and couldn't help scratching her head.
"Sister Erni, shall we go to the uncle's house to find Sister Dani?"
Ying Bao knew that it was impossible to secretly add Wuding Zhi into the medicine bowl now, so she had to retreat and invite Erni to find Dani.
Erni shook her head: "Don't go, I want to take care of my father." ”
My mother is not at home, and it is inconvenient for my father to drink saliva, so she must guard at home.
Sakura pouted and walked out of the room.
After Jiang Sanlang fed the second brother and drank the medicine, he helped him lie down again, and said, "Second brother, you sleep for a while, and I'll come back for a while." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Erlang nodded and closed his eyes.
Jiang Saburo came out, and when he saw his daughter's wilted vegetable leaves, he couldn't help laughing, squatted down and clapped his hands: "Bao'er, come here, go home with Dad." ”
Sakura didn't want to go home, but it didn't seem to be useful for her to stay here, so she opened her arms and asked her father to hug her, and asked unwillingly, "Dad, has the second uncle eaten?" Shall we bring him food? ”
"It's already breakfast." Jiang Saburo walked home with his daughter in his arms. "At noon, your aunt will cook porridge and send it over, so you don't need to send it to our family."
"Oh." Sakura was even more disappointed.
When she got home, she saw her father going to the house to eat, and she ran to her uncle's house.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the uncle's house, I saw Yuan Bao holding a stone ball in his arms, and he was about to go to the threshing floor with a few boys to play football.
When Yuan Bao saw his little cousin coming, he thought he was reading the same book as before, so he said, "Ying Bao, the books are all on the table, you can read them yourself, I'm going to play football." ”
He has recently become addicted to kickball games, and even Yoyo has fallen out of favor.
Ying Bao blinked: "What about Sister Dani?" ”
"Make a fire in the stove." As he spoke, the ingots had already run away.
In the stove room, Sister Dani was really cooking porridge on the fire, and the sweet smell of rice overflowed with the heat.
Ying Bao pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Sister Dani, are you cooking porridge?" ”
"Uh-huh." Dani nodded, and specially explained: "It's cooked for the second uncle." ”
"Oh." Ying Bao became more and more happy, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to send it to the second uncle later?" ”
"I'll send it when it's ready." Dani thought that her little cousin wanted to eat, so she whispered, "I'll leave some for you when I go back." ”
Sakura shook her head: "No, I'm full." ”
After a pause, he said, "Can I help you serve porridge?" ”
Dani didn't understand why her little cousin wanted to help her serve porridge, so she nodded: "Okay, then you be careful, don't spill it." ”
"It won't spill." Sakura Po excitedly stood on tiptoe to look at the steaming pot, gestured, and saw that he couldn't reach the pot table, so he quickly moved a stool and put it by the stove.
After a while, when the porridge was cooked, Dani withdrew the fire, brought a jar, and a large bamboo spoon, and uncovered the pot.
A white steam wrapped in a rich rice fragrance came to the face.
Sakura Bao was afraid that Dani would regret it, so she immediately snatched the bamboo spoon in her hand and stood on the stool.
Dani: ......
Avoiding Dani's strange eyes, Sakura Po scooped the porridge with a bamboo spoon and poured it into the jar.
