Gulu~
It was the porridge I ate in the morning, which had already been digested.
Of course, Qiu Defu couldn't just drink the medicine, so she got up and went to the front yard.
Seeing the little medicine boy collecting the dried medicine, he stepped forward and asked: "Little doctor, where can I make some food? I want to make some food for my son. I won't waste anything in vain. Let's figure out how much it will cost." "
The old doctor passed by and said, "The old lady also cooked our meals by the way, so we won't charge the fee."
Li Yunlan agreed with a smile, turned around and muttered in her heart: You are the old lady, and the whole family is an old lady.
The little medicine boy led her to the kitchen: "My wife has gone into the city to see her grandson. I'm sorry to bother you."
After that he left.
Li Yunlan looked at the kitchen. It was clean and tidy, the vegetables were placed in baskets, and there was a piece of tofu and a piece of fat and thin pork belly in the cupboard.
I rolled up my sleeves and stopped being polite to the old doctor. I had a pot of dry rice, a bowl of braised pork, pickled vegetables and tofu, braised eggplant in oil, and mallow vegetable soup.
She cooked some minced meat porridge for Qiu Defu, and when the meal was ready, she stood at the kitchen door and shouted.
After a while, the little medicine boy and the old doctor entered the kitchen one after another. The oil lamp was dim, and the little medicine boy helped his master fill a large bowl of rice.
Seeing as they don't react to rice, I guess they eat it every day. Sure enough, medical doctors are rich no matter what era they are in.
But she hasn't eaten white rice for a long time. A bowl of white rice with braised pork, God, this is what it tastes like.
When the old doctor saw that Li Yunlan was eating faster and faster, and eating braised pork more and more often, he forgot about chewing slowly, and started to speed up and show off with his beard twitching.
Li Yunlan unceremoniously finished two large bowls of rice, held her belly and breathed a comfortable sigh, then handed over the rest of the work to the little medicine boy. She took the minced meat porridge to the small room in the backyard.
The door of the wing room was open, it turned out that Qiu Degui was here.
"Didn't Degui tell you to stay at home? It's so scary when you come and only Chunhua is left at home to take care of the children."
"Mom, I don't trust you and my second brother. Besides, it's easier for me to take care of them."
"Brother, I'm fine. I have the little medicine boy to help me. I can go back in two days."
Li Yunlan filled a bowl of porridge and slowly fed it to Qiu Defu. After eating a bowl, he refused to eat any more. He had no appetite at all after drinking the medicine.
Let Qiu Degui eat the rest. The white rice and meat porridge cannot be wasted.
At night, Chen Yunniang woke up from a nightmare and touched her simply bandaged forehead. She didn't know if the dream was true. In the dream, Qiu Mingyue became the empress, so she persuaded her to pour a glass of poisonous wine into her mother-in-law.
The tragic situation of her mother-in-law after being poisoned and the hateful look in her eyes made her shudder.
She swallowed her dry throat: "Mom~Mother?"
What answered her was not only the night, but also the night elf—the mouse.
She fumbled to get ready, but as soon as she put her feet down she knew where she was. It was the house where she slept when she was a girl, a woodshed.
She put her feet back on the bed, and heard the rustling sound of mice in her ears. She was not afraid of mice, so what was she afraid of? She was afraid that her parents would disown her, and that her brothers would not support her.
Why was God so unfair to me? He was targeting her. Qiu Defu had broken his ribs and legs. He didn't know if he would get better in the future. If he couldn't get better, wouldn't he have to spend his whole life guarding a loser, and that old widow? She shuddered when she thought of the purple face in the dream and the eyes that burst out from pain staring at her. She couldn't go back, she absolutely couldn't go back.
At night Qiu Defu started to have a fever. The old doctor gave him an injection to help reduce the fever, and the little medicine boy made up another medicine and brought it to them.
The door outside was banged, and the little medicine boy ran out to open the door. After a while, a man was carried into the next room. He said that he had injured his leg when he encountered a wild boar while hunting. Li Yunlan didn't have time to watch other people's excitement. Hello. After Qiu got the blessing medicine, Qiu Degui used a cotton towel dipped in water to wipe his body.
The mother and son took turns looking at Qiu Defu. When the first ray of sunshine rose in the east, Qiu Degui touched his brother's forehead with his hand, and the fever finally subsided.
"Degui, is there anyone selling breakfast here?"
Qiu Degui squinted his eyes and said, "Yes, there is a shop selling tofu bread in front of you."
Li Yunlan was about to pay, but Qiu Degui stopped him and said that he had the two ounces of money given yesterday and he would buy it.
"It's expensive, so take the old doctor's and the little medicine boy's with you, and buy some for those who have enough food."
Qiu Degui agreed and went out.
A woman next door came out with a basin of water and met Li Yunlan. They both smiled and went back to the house.
After a while, Qiu Degui came back with a bucket of tofu curd and seven or eight sesame seed cakes skewered with chopsticks.
The old doctor also worked hard for half the night and was exhausted and fell asleep. The little medicine boy said that he would just leave a bowl of tofu nao for him.
The three of them started eating on the stone table in the backyard. In fact, Li Yunlan loved sweet tofu curd, but he couldn't be particular about it now. It would be nice to sprinkle some chopped pickles for a taste.
After eating a sesame seed cake and a bowl of tofu curd, she stopped eating and took a bowl in to feed Qiu Defu.
Qiu Defu couldn't drink anymore after two sips. Li Yunlan coaxed him for a long time, and drank medicine on an empty stomach to hurt his stomach. In the end, he only drank half a bowl, and Qiu Degui took care of the remaining half as usual.
He felt more pain today and hummed from time to time.
Big beads of sweat rolled down his head, and Li Yunlan kept wiping him with warm water.
She was also so anxious that she was sweating. What could she do? It was impossible for the old doctor to prescribe some painkillers, give her an injection or something.
Qiu Degui was also anxious in the room.
When the little medicine boy brought the medicine, he said: "When the master wakes up, let him come over and give an injection, which will relieve a lot of pain."
Is this silver needle so magical? Can it reduce fever and relieve pain?
I thanked him again and again, gave him the medicine and gave him a candy ball to eat.
She then thought about how she broke her big toe when she was a child. When her back hurt, her mother hugged her, and she felt less pain. Later, she searched for the reason. The explanation on the Internet was that mothers used hugs to calm their children's emotions. , also known as "touch therapy", uses the mother's hands to promote the secretion of dopamine and serotonin in the child's brain to ease emotions and reduce pain.
Li Yunlan leaned over and put one hand through his neck, half-circled him with the other hand, rested his head on Qiu Defu's head, and stroked his arm.
Qiu Defu soon became calmer, as if it really worked.
Qiu Defu's pain began to lessen on the third day. After the old doctor changed the medicine, Qiu Degui hired an oxcart. Li Yunlan spread a thick mattress on it, and several people carried it gently and put it on the oxcart. Xiaoliu Village.
Mrs. Liu at home has already added this year's new straw to the bed in the second bedroom, which is thick and soft.
When the bullock cart entered the yard, Mrs. Liu hugged Chenggong and saw Qiu Defu lying on the bullock cart with red eyes: "Second brother, are you feeling better?"
Faced with his sister-in-law's concern, Qiu Defu said: "Thank you very much for your concern, sister-in-law. It's much better. I've been troublesome for you these past few days."
"If the family is in trouble or not, stop talking about it."
Baoyu cried while picking up the frame of the bullock cart: "Daddy...Daddy, Baoyu will be obedient in the future. He will work more and take good care of his brother. Dad, please get well soon..."
Qiu Defu wiped his tears: "Well, dad promised Baoyu that he will get well soon."
When he fell asleep on his bed, took a deep breath, and finally went home.
