"No matter what, it's not uncommon to have one or two eggs, it's important to replenish your body."

"That's it, auntie...... I don't want turnips, stewed chicken with turnips is not delicious. Lin Piao looked at the second aunt in the bed.

The second aunt sat down on the edge of the bed and discussed in the spirit of scientific research: "Then what do you say to stew?" ”

"What do you have at home now?"

"Radish, cabbage, tofu skin, red lettuce, pumpkin, dried shrimp, you said earlier that those mushrooms are good, you can't eat them in winter, and some of them are still stored in the sun, by the way, there are some chestnuts, which were sent yesterday, didn't the students eat barbecue meat before, and their families knew, and some parents prepared some things for their children to bring over to offset the expenses.

The mushrooms dried at home are all miscellaneous mushrooms, and there are less than a few shiitake mushrooms, Lin Piao looked at the second aunt.

"Auntie, I want to eat chicken soup with mushrooms and chestnuts."

The second aunt nodded: "Cheng, then I'll go and work now, if you call Erzhu something, you can call him Cheng." ”

Lin Piao thought of the culprit he had become like this: "By the way, auntie, is the chief here?" ”

"It's such a cold day, and the elder is also old, so he got up later than before, and was invited away by someone else in the morning, saying that the daughter of the sister-in-law Qian's family received the dowry from others, and people want to marry on the good day of the New Year, but their family just doesn't want to marry in the New Year, and the man said that if he can't do it, he won't marry, and the sister-in-law Qian is not false at all, since he doesn't marry, he won't return the dowry, and now he is making trouble, and when the lieutenant comes over there, he will have to come after noon."

"I'm sick now, if the lieutenant chief comes later, I'll see how to deal with it, second aunt, you can help Shen Hong more."

"That's for sure, the neighbors are watching!"

"I'm going to get busy when you're fine, but I'll have to peel the chestnuts out first."

Lin Piao nodded, and the second aunt went out of the house in a hurry, Lin Piao was lying on the bed, and heard her talking to someone outside: "Piao'er wants to eat chicken soup, but she is not seriously ill, it is estimated that she has no strength, and it is not a big problem if she can eat, and it will be fine in a day or two." ”

"Aunt Xie."

"Thank you, thank you, it should be, can I still take care of it when I'm sick?"

It was Shen Hong's voice.

Lin Piao lay straight down in the quilt, let the temperature of the kang dry his cold back, then turned over and lay on the pillow, pulled the bowl in front of him, touched the egg was still hot, the red lotus was still warm, lowered his head to bite a few bites of the red lotus, and with a little strength it took a little strength to stand up and peel the eggs, and after eating, he shrank into the quilt like a snail.

Students got out of school at noon, Lin Piao heard a burst of footsteps outside, I don't know why they are so quiet today, usually learn to chirp, and have to carry a book on their mouths, Lin Piao got up and came to the bedside, put the window lattice up a crack to look at the children outside, they occasionally exchanged heads and ears, talked very quietly, sometimes the person next to the person next to the speaker also pointed in front of the mouth to signal them to be quiet, a few people still muttered, because the window lattice was opened, Lin Piao could hear a little approximate syllable.

"My sister-in-law was sick, and my husband said he didn't like to be noisy."

As if to say that he is sick, don't make noise?

Lin Piao didn't expect these cubs to have such a heart-warming side, closed the window lattice and continued to lie back on the quilt and sighed.

I'm so dizzy......

I hope it will be soon, don't really drag on for a winter, I still want to have a good New Year this year, and I will start to work on Shen Hong's exam as soon as the new year begins.

Lin Piao tossed and turned here, and finally decided to sit up wrapped in the quilt, stretched his arms and legs in the quilt, stretched his waist and moved his upper body to try to strengthen his body.

He was moving here when he heard two knocks on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, it was Uncle Qiu who brought him lunch, two large bowls were placed at the head of the bed, one bowl contained rice, and one bowl contained several dishes, it was vegetarian three silk fried shredded pork, fried tofu skin, stewed cabbage, and a large piece of egg drop, it seems that today I ate egg drop soup.

Lin Piao's appetite was not very good, but he thought that he would have to eat sick to get better, so he tried his best to eat half a bowl of rice.

Uncle Qiu watched him eat from the side: "You eat some more, how can you have the strength to eat so much like cat food." ”

"I can't eat it, there is no taste in my mouth, and it takes a lot of effort to eat, by the way, is it long here."

In fact, it is that we are now living a prosperous life, so he looks greedy and panics, and this time the crooked thoughts in his heart have not stopped, and he wants to steal money for the New Year. Speaking of Zheng Qiu, he is quite embarrassed, I don't know what to call him, everyone is from the same village, and they are of the same generation, some people call him the second brother, like he is older than Zheng Qiu, Zheng Qiu is usually called the second brother, and now he steals things and steals Lin Piao's head, and scares Lin Piao sick, he can't call the second brother two words, he just feels very awkward.

"What did the chief say? He had the intention to steal, but after all, he didn't steal anything, and he was from a village, so after all, this person was also charged with stealing two pieces of clothing, and he was an acquaintance with the people in the village...... It's just that no matter what, I have to say something, otherwise in the future, the people in the village will be bullied by me, and everyone will run away to my house! ”

Zheng Qiu saw that he was so excited that his voice was hoarse, and he hurriedly patted him on the back: "This must be an explanation, I see that you are too worried, the lieutenant is still very oriented towards us, take someone to interrogate for a while, ask all the causes and consequences clearly, and say that depending on your arrangements, he will ask Zhou Xishan to take the people to the county government to send them to the official at that time." ”

"The lieutenant commander is willing to send the officer?" Lin Piao was a little surprised.

"That's for sure, he said that he wouldn't send the official to wait for you to get well and asked, but I don't know how to tell you, you are now having a friendship with the county lord and the county lady, and Shen Hong is about to have a fame, and the lieutenant must be towards us, and the people in the village hate to steal, and no one helps him speak, he is an old bachelor, and he has no family to beg for him everywhere."

Lin Piao thought about it, and felt a lot more relieved, with such a result, there will definitely be no such thing in the future, thinking about it, Lin Piao sat on the futon and suddenly patted his forehead: "That's right, since this will be sent to the official, just let Shen Hong write the list and send it to the county government together, so that the county lord can prepare early, so as not to be caught off guard when he gets time, Uncle Qiu, you can send a message and help me call Shen Hong." ”

"Good!" Zheng Qiu knew that this was an important matter, so he went outside and called Shen Hong in without delay.

Lin Piao told Shen Hong about this, and Shen Hong pondered for a moment and nodded: "This is not a problem, but I am afraid it would be rude not to send it in person, I will write another letter of love with the list and send it." ”

Lin Piao nodded, Shen Hong has always been meticulous in these matters, and there is no need to worry: "Then you go and prepare." ”

Uncle Qiu had already gone out after packing up the dishes and chopsticks, and Lin Piao stopped Shen Hong again: "Which people do you plan to plan for the list?" ”

"Ergou learns very quickly, he is very alert, he is naturally at the top, followed by Dasheng, hard and serious, Shanzi is also very respectful and diligent, Dawang and Erdan can choose one of them, basically the early ones are the ones who entered the school early, they have studied longer, and now they still have some foundation."

2. Dogs are not only among the best, they are simply dogs, and several other people naturally have nothing to say.

Lin Piao touched the tip of his nose: "What do you think of the second pillar." ”

Shen Hong sat in front of the kang, looked at his sister-in-law slightly lowered her head and touched her nose with her fingertips, and thought for a moment: "He was originally the one we saw when we went to the county government, and if he wasn't in the county government, it would be difficult to answer questions if he asked, so he would always have to take the test." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "That's good, since Erzhu has been informed of this matter at the beginning, and he has been preparing for so long, it's not good for him not to even go to the examination room." ”

"What my sister-in-law said is true, I will explain it clearly to the chief and Zhou Xishan later, and my sister-in-law should not worry too much about her illness for the time being."

"Okay." Lin Piao heard him take care of things like this, shrunk into the quilt and curled up and lay down.

"......" Shen Hong watched his sister-in-law disappear in front of him, only half of her face was exposed, and her long black hair was half scattered.

"You go study, leave me alone." Lin Piao was full just now, and he was already a little dizzy when he lay down, and he had already closed his eyes as he spoke, only to hear Shen Hong's answer, followed by a series of gentle footsteps, and the sound of the door being gently closed.

Lin Piao fell asleep groggily, and when he was woken up in the afternoon, it was the second aunt who asked him to drink medicine, I don't know what kind of herb it was, it was stinky and bitter, Lin Piao pinched his nose and didn't drink it, but he vomited with a gust of nausea, and vomited out the first half of the bowl that he had finally drunk with one mouth.

After this toss, Lin Piao felt that he had become weaker, and said that he would not drink that deadly medicine anymore.

When it was time for lunch, the second aunt brought him a big bowl of chicken soup, and the bottom of the bowl was full of a layer of chestnuts, and on top were a large chicken leg and a chicken wing.

Finally saw the chicken soup he wanted to drink, but when he didn't know the taste, Lin Piao was about to cry when he looked at the chicken soup, put aside the thick oil flowers and drank a few spoonfuls of warm soup, and the convulsive stomach finally stretched out the space.

At this moment, Lin Piao realized the truth of life.

Although the food does not taste, the chicken soup is still delicious!

The chicken soup is delicious, with a faint aroma of chestnuts, and after drinking a small half bowl of soup Lin Piao poked a chestnut with chopsticks, which was already stewed to a powdery point, and the chopsticks were thorough.

Sent into his mouth, Lin Piao, who was eating, nodded again and again while snorting hot: "Hmm...... Delicious! ”

"If you like to eat, eat more, you should eat sooner."

Lin Piao held the bowl and nodded.

In the evening, the second aunt and Uncle Qiu brought an old woman in, and the second aunt brought the stove in, and said mysteriously: "This is Grandma Yang, she is very good at burning eggs, I went to ask, and said that your illness is because the soul is frightened, so I will ask her to scare you." ”

“……”

Lin Piao sat at the head of the bed and wailed in his heart, Second aunt, you will take the magic power and spare me.

But the grandmother came, and it was not easy to drive away, so Lin Piao saw that the second aunt handed her two eggs, she took the eggs and took a little charcoal crumble from the stove, and when it was cold, she pinched it in her hand, wrote the word Lin Piao on the egg, and then said something in her mind, and Lin Piao probably understood what not to scare him.

Then Grandma very professionally dug a hole in the ashes of the stove, and put two eggs in the ashes to burn.

Immediately, Grandma sat very approachable and began to have a family affair with her second aunt, Uncle Qiu, Lin Piao sat on the kang dumbfounded, and then heard a bang.

The egg is fried.

But it didn't matter, because immediately the second egg slammed.

The second aunt and Uncle Qiu continued to roast the fire as usual, and after a while they gouged out the eggs in the stove, sandwiched out two eggs that burst into a small mushroom cloud in the middle, patted the ashes, and handed them to Lin Piao.

Lin Piao looked at the gray, gray and black eggs, and his heart was already beginning to mask with pain.

"This ...... Do you want to eat it? ”

"What are you talking about, you stupid boy, of course you have to eat it, how good is it if you don't eat it."

"I ......"

"Come, my aunt will peel it for you." The second aunt sat down next to her, and peeled the eggs out in three or two clicks, and the eggs after peeling them looked not so cold, because they were burned in the fire, and some of the egg whites on the outer layer were slightly yellow, and even the edges were a little burnt yellow.

The second aunt and Uncle Qiu were simply one left and one right to hold him up, and Lin Piao could only resign himself to telling himself that it didn't matter, the grass and wood ash were actually very clean, and there would be no problems with high-temperature disinfection.

Reaching out to take the egg in the second aunt's hand, Lin Piao lowered his head and began to eat honestly, taking a bite and chewing slowly.

Not...... It's quite fragrant, and there is no strange smell.

In particular, the slightly yellowed egg whites have a strong aroma, because they are burned extra tight, and they are slightly chewy to eat.

After he had eaten two eggs, his second aunt and Uncle Qiu sat with him for a while, and then the two of them sent his grandmother out of the house together and went home themselves.

Lin Piao lay down and slept for another night, and the next morning they came together, and the symptoms were really good, except for a little fatigue on his body, and other problems faded overnight.

When the second aunt saw him like this, she praised the miraculous grandmother: "I see that if you raise it again, you will be fine if you don't suffer from the wind and cold for two or three days, then the grandmother is the spirit, and it is really not adulterated at all." ”

Lin Piao was skeptical, thinking that it was his aunt's chicken soup that had a greater effect, and this warm kang, he was hot all night last night, and his back was as comfortable as if he was soaked in hot water, I don't know if Shen Hong got up in the middle of the night and burned the kang for him again.

Yesterday, because the weather was not good, and it was already noon, it was afternoon when he arrived at the county government.

The lieutenant chief made the decision to arrange for today, just to give Shen Hong some time to write the letter and polish his writing, but the room left by the lieutenant chief was obviously redundant, and Shen Hong wrote the list and the letter of affection at noon that day.

The person was sent on the second day, Zhou Xishan came back on the third day, and the second child was already pressed in the county jail.

"Lord Cheng of the county said that stealing was hateful, but he didn't steal any big things, and he didn't need to be locked up for too long, but he was just a small punishment and a big commandment, and he will be released after Shen Hong's examination is over, so that you don't feel uneasy when you see it."

As soon as Lin Piao heard about this flexible sentencing standard, he had the personal demeanor of the county lord.

Zhou Xishan didn't linger long, but just put the things in his hand on the table in the hall: "This is something that Mrs. County Cheng brought to you, Miss asked me to ask you about your illness on my behalf, and this is a reply from Lord County Cheng." ”

"The county lord also wrote a reply?" Lin Piao looked at the envelope on the table in surprise.

Zhou Xishan nodded and left, Lin Piao saw that he was a little strange, a little cold, maybe he was not happy to help them run a leg, Lin Piao thought about it and left it behind, thinking that next time he had a chance to report back to him.

"Shen Hong, the letter from Lord Cheng of the county, come and take a look."

Lin Piao stayed by and waited for Shen Hong to open the letter, wanting to see what secrets the county lord would write in it, and Shen Hong did not avoid him after unfolding the paper, and looked at him from the side.

Lin Piao fixed his eyes and looked at it, good guy, this reply letter from the county is quoted from the scriptures, the rhetoric is beautiful, and in general, there is a purpose, "I have read your letter, and the writing really touches me, and the writing is really awesome, I will get up and immediately give you a letter to exchange the full talent of our literary and artistic Confucian students!" ’

Lin Piao shook his head secretly, it seems that the county lord has also been taken down by Shen Hong, turned around to look at his own bags of things, one by one the oil paper bags were opened and looked at, there was a plate of brown sugar, a red date, a dried longan, a wolfberry, it seems that he is called a red date wolfberry thermos cup, take good care of his body.

The brown sugar board was stacked several pieces, each of which was not too thick, Lin Piao picked it up and broke a piece, took a bowl and put it in, threw some red dates, longan and wolfberries, and soaked two bowls with hot water.

"Shen Hong, come and drink brown sugar water."

Shen Hong folded the letter and put it back in the envelope and walked to the table.

"Brown sugar water?" Isn't this something that women and their brothers drink only when they are pregnant or give birth, he has some doubts, but it is always something that nourishes the body, and it is not something that he can't drink in ordinary times.

"Warm up."
