Chapter 103: Summer Hot Pot
Tao Xiaoqian's cold is getting worse and worse in this winter, she is still shivering with cold wrapped in a mink, it doesn't matter if she takes a hot bath every night, it is still cold, when she sleeps at night, there is an electric blanket underneath, Li Nanshan held her in his arms to warm up, but Li Nanshan got up, and she couldn't sleep hot.
I saw a doctor and said that this is a common disease of women, the body is cold, the palace is cold, the feet are cold, and it is cold everywhere.
Li Nanshan thought it was a common disease of women, so she had to take care of her daughter-in-law more carefully, but Tao Xiaoqi was a doctor, she knew in her heart that the disease that could not find out the cause was either fine, and if there was something, it would be fatal, she couldn't tell whether she was the former or the latter, she had never heard of being wrapped in a mink and freezing herself to death, it shouldn't be.
That night, she went to the space and found one thing, the cusp of medicine seedlings that she pulled out the day before did not grow, she was afraid that she would lose her eyes, so she squatted down and looked carefully, but it didn't grow. She chuckled inwardly.
Next, Tao Xiaoqi worked hard to cultivate new seedlings and develop new varieties in the medicine shed, during which she went into the space several times, and the place where the seedlings were pulled out was still empty, and she knew that something was irretrievably gone.
For a whole spring, she locked herself in the medicine shed, and cultivated as much as she could in the space, and by the summer, it was almost done, but the life-saving spirit grass in the space, she couldn't cultivate it, there were originally two, and one was given to Li Laohan, and there was only one left.
She didn't know who it would be used for.
One day, the weather was very hot, the sun was scorching the earth, there was no wind, Tao Xiaoqi felt comfortable, more comfortable than a snowy day, looking at her mother with incredulity, holding a milk cake in her hand, and asking her mother if she wanted to eat it.
Tao Xiaoqi shook her head, "I don't want to eat milk cakes, but I do want to eat hot pot." ”
"What's hot pot?" Man Man asked, licking the ice cream one by one.
"You haven't eaten ice cream? Didn't my mother take you to eat hot pot? "Tao Xiaoqi doesn't believe it, can't.
Man Man shook his head firmly, "No, no, never." ”
Suddenly, Tao Xiaoqi realized that there has indeed been less time to accompany her children in recent years, so let's arrange a hot pot tonight.
Hot pot eating is not artistic conception, there are many people to taste, and it has to be chatty, the half-body unfamiliar eat a hot pot together, easy to indigestion, and on fire, so Tao Xiaoqi didn't call much, big brother and sister-in-law, Zhao Bin and his daughter-in-law, and then his own family, she didn't count the dolls, the little treasure of the eldest brother's family, the Yuan Yuan of Zhao Bin's family, plus the two girls of her own family, full of exactly ten people, the eight immortal tables can't sit down, she divided two tables, in the garden in the front yard, one big and one small two tables, she wants to eat spicy, the dolls can't eat spicy, just right.
She called the pockmark girl, but people have been recuperating recently, saying that they don't eat this greasy food, Tao Xiaoqi didn't force it, sometimes, she really admires the willpower of the pockmark girl, never eat ice on dog days, don't eat too hot food on cold days, don't eat sweets and don't eat big meat. It's just that she has been healthy for a year, she is still chubby, and her weight has not lost a pound, and Tao Xiaoqi doesn't dare to ask, what is she raising in this health? But I don't dare to ask, Miss Mazi is now the leader of the medical hall, and she sometimes has to listen to her.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law came over to help directly after work, and the nanny and aunt Tao Xiaoqi at home gave her a holiday again, and she had to prepare ingredients and dishes to wash vegetables and prepare bowls, all of which had to come by herself.
When Zhao Bin and his wife came, they brought a bottle of red wine, and Tao Xiaoqi said that he was weird, how could he eat hot pot with red wine, it didn't match.
Zhao Bin Nunu's mouth, daring to be angry, did not dare to speak, "The daughter-in-law asked me to bring it, and said that it was mixed with soda to drink, and the taste was domineering." ”
"I didn't buy the soda." Tao Xiaoqi said.
Zhao Bin's daughter-in-law, Shen Ximei, was not happy, "You don't know how to eat hot pot, do you?" ”
"No, it's not." Tao Xiaoqi said.
"What's that drinking?" Shen Ximei said bluntly.
"Oh, white, as much as you want." Tao Xiaoqi pointed to a box of liquor in the corner.
"No, I have to drink soda mixed with red wine, or I have to drink chilled soda, the kind that is cold in my mouth, this is the perfect match for eating hot pot."
"Then go buy it, you and Bebe."
"What to do with Beibei, I can go myself." Shen Ximei felt redundant.
"Take Bei Bei to pay, she will take care of the money in my family." Tao Xiaoqi said truthfully.
Shen Ximei was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, "Your Beibei cares about money?" ”
"Uh-huh." Mom nodded.
"No, your baby is in charge of money?" Shen Ximei still doesn't believe it, if it is an ordinary family, forget it, Tao Xiaoqi's family is a big family, Bei Bei, a teenage girl, can take care of it?
At this time, Li Nanshan came back from buying cold vegetables, and casually gave Bei Bei the change he was looking for, and said, "I also bought some chicken cakes, and the two hundred yuan you gave me is all that is left." ”
"Wait and pay the bill." Bei Bei naturally took it and said.
Shen Ximei had to believe it.
"Don't look at Bei Bei's age, he is talented in this area, God is fair, he will always give people a way to live." Zhao Bin secretly explained in his daughter-in-law's ear.
Shen Ximei looked at Bei Bei again, and there was more appreciation in her eyes, but unfortunately, her family's Yuan Yuan was a little smaller, otherwise she could set a baby kiss, then she would be relaxed.
When night falls, the lights in the courtyard are lit up, and there are not only twinkling lights overhead, but also stars in the sky, the sky is still blue at this time, and the water is still clear, so the stars are still bright at night.
Li Nanshan, Zhao Bin, eldest brother, Tao Xiaoqi and sister-in-law drank white, Shen Ximei drank soda mixed with red wine, and the dolls drank soda.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law also ate hot pot for the first time, at first they were not used to eating in this way, and then they became familiar with it, and they put what they wanted to eat in the pot, and they were not restrained, and when the moon and stars rose, everyone let go of eating, and the dolls ate and made trouble, and they came to eat when they were tired of playing, and the adults drank, drank cup after cup, and were about to get drunk, and were blown by the summer breeze, and they were half sober, and continued to drink.
Hot dishes, hot wine, everyone eats and sweats profusely, everyone has a towel at hand, the towel is wet, twist the water, and continue to eat.
Zhao Bin insisted on toasting a cup of Tao Xiaoqian, and talked about how Tao Xiaoqi broke into his pharmacy with medicine on his back many years ago to exchange money, "I remember it vividly, it was like it happened yesterday." ”
"Yes, so many years have passed, and the years are uncountable, but fortunately, the old people are still there." Tao Xiaoqi smiled, and suddenly felt sad.
Raise a glass and drink it all.
Raise a glass again, salute the bright moon, and thank the ancient moon for still shining on today's people.
Li Nanshan didn't speak, and neither did the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and everyone was more or less emotional.
"Mother, Yuan Yuan peed his pants!" Full of shouts, pulling everyone back to reality and laughing.
