Chapter 84
Adi's face turned red when he coughed. Xiaoshan Niang was busy wiping his chest and patting his back to smooth the air. Li Qingyou also quickly found Qingyin Pills and water for him to drink. It wasn't until a while later that he Stopped coughing.
After struggling for a while, Li Qingyou broke into a sweat and turned paler. She sat next to the quilt and held her stomach, enduring bouts of colic.
"Are you sick?" Xiaoshan Niang also saw the medicine bowl placed on the edge of the kang.
Looking at Li Qingyou's face as pale as paper, if there is anything he doesn't understand, he picked it up and touched the edge of the bowl, "It happens to be still hot, so drink it quickly. Don't use your body to get angry when you are angry. If you have anything to say, wait for it to heal." Let’s talk about it later.”
Li Qingyou just wanted to scare her brother, but she didn't really want to make fun of her body. She just happened to take advantage of Xiaoshan Niang's steps to come down, took the medicine bowl and drank it in small sips.
The most notable feature of Chinese herbal medicine is its bitterness. Li Qingyou took one sip of the medicine and was stunned by the bitterness. The little mountain girl laughed and patted her brother on the shoulder, "Why don't you hurry up and get your sister some sugar to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth?" . ”
He said and gave him a wink.
My brother was so happy that he ran to the stove and brought the candy jar over. The little mountain girl laughed and said, "This kid, your sister ate this jar of candy and you still didn't catch her. She's a little sugar pimple." That’s it.”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of white sugar from the sugar jar. With the little mountain girl in the middle, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
"It's not a trivial matter for a woman to come to Kuishui. She has to take good care of herself. In addition to drinking the decoction, she also has to be careful not to catch a cold." Xiaoshan Niang said and handed a brick wrapped in cloth to Li Qingyou, "Hold it, put it on your stomach. Be more energetic."
She took the bricks from the yard. When she was burning the kang in Donglijian, she put them in the stove and baked them for a while. Then she wrapped them in a layer of cloth so as not to burn them. In the summer, she would not be able to treat people if she heated the kang. She just put a handful of firewood on the kang to keep it from getting cold.
Li Qingyou was so embarrassed, she was just an aunt, and the whole world knew about it.
At the same time, I was also wondering how Xiaoshan Niang knew about it. Suddenly, I remembered that there was still a blood-stained dress in the wooden basin, and I suddenly understood everything.
Adi looked at Xiaoshan Niang in surprise, "How did Auntie know?"
She was not here when Dr. Liu came.
Xiaoshan Niang smiled and tapped her brother's forehead with her index finger, "No matter what, you have to go through this, and you will have to be like this in a few years."
Adi's face turned pale instantly.
"It's okay, there's nothing to be afraid of. This is how we all came here." After Xiaoshan Niang said, she asked Adi to buy brown sugar. She didn't look at Li Qingyou until she saw him going out, "I'm still young, so I don't have to follow him. A child is angry, and he can't do anything wrong when he is so angry. If you have anything to say, I will definitely listen to it because I am sensible..."
She sent Adi out specifically just to untie Li Qingyou, but when she looked at Li Qingyou's equally immature face, she suddenly couldn't say anything anymore.
She is also a child.
Li Qingyou just nodded silently. She didn't have the shame to talk about the "good deeds" done by her brother. Fortunately, Xiaoshan Niang didn't ask further. The spoons never touched the edge of the pot. It was normal to occasionally stir things up in life.
Li Qingyou understands the truth, and has indeed done this in the past, but Adi is different from ordinary children. He has an angelic face but does all kinds of shocking things. Ghost idea.
If placed in modern times, he would be a problem student, the kind that would give teachers a headache. Li Qingyou was not sure that he could teach him well, but he had to try.
She didn't want to continue this topic and simply talked about something else.
"Auntie, I have something to trouble you with..." Li Qingyou said as he took out a piece of silver worth about one tael from his purse and handed it to Xiaoshan Niang, "You don't have to buy something too good, just an ordinary one will do."
Xiaoshan Niang agreed readily, "Okay, Xiaoshan doesn't have to go to Zhang's house tomorrow, so just ask him to buy it for you."
After saying this, I heard a ring at the courtyard door. It was Adi who was back.
"Qingyou, listen to my aunt's advice and don't be angry. What do the sisters have to say?" Xiaoshan Niang grabbed Li Qingyou's hand and patted it. She felt extremely sad when she thought of the two young ladies depending on each other.
The two sisters are not even as good as the mother and son. Although she has been widowed for many years, she has a son and hope.
The two girls don't even have a well-established man in their family, and Li Qingyou has gained such a reputation, what will she do in the future?
When Adi came back from buying brown sugar, Xiaoshan Niang asked him to make a bowl of ginger soup, "It's best to chop the ginger. The more chopped the better, the medicinal properties will be released..."
She deliberately didn't help, and only directed the whole process from the side, giving Adi a chance to show off. She couldn't believe that Li Qingyou could still be angry while watching such a cute child busy.
Adi was also very serious. He followed the instructions and took the kitchen knife to slice the ginger first, then shred it, and then chop it into pieces.
The idea is quite good, but it's a pity that he is not skilled in the business. Li Qingyou usually washes and chops vegetables. He has only seen it, but has never operated it. He was holding a kitchen knife without paying attention, and the blade scratched his finger, and there was a stream of blood.
Come out.
Adi frowned, but he didn't care. Even when he was at home, he had to throw and beat with the martial arts instructor every day, so he didn't pay attention to this small wound.
But Xiaoshan Niang suddenly screamed, grabbed Adi's hand and shouted exaggeratedly, "Oh, does it hurt? There is such old blood..."
Adi was just about to say that it was okay, but Xiaoshan Niang covered his mouth, shook his head at him, and looked to the east.
Brother understands instantly.
The next moment, Li Qingyou ran out of the east room, grabbed Adi's hand and looked at it carefully, "What's wrong? Did you cut your hand? Why are you so careless..."
The seemingly reproachful words revealed deep concern, and his eyes were full of worry. Suddenly, Adi's nose felt a little sore.
Unlike before when I cried out of fear, this time I cried because I was moved and felt guilty.
They were not blood relatives or related in any way, they were just two strangers, but he could really feel the care and love given to him by Sister Qingyou, especially when she was still sick and still angry with him, but she still
Can come over and care about him.
In comparison, it was too despicable for him to take advantage of her compassion.
"It's okay sister, I don't feel hurt." Adi tried hard not to let his tears fall. Seeing Li Qingyou looking over, he quickly lowered his head and closed his slightly wet eyes. He didn't want to use this method to deceive Sister Qingyou again.
of sympathy.
However, the slightly choked nasal voice still betrayed him.
In the summer, the doors and windows are open, and the scorching sun shines in through the kitchen window, falling on Adi's shoulders, the tips of his hair, and half of his face, illuminating the fine fluff on them.
