Of course, Su Qingluan did not pay Liu Yunniang "wage" in the end.
It's not that she didn't want to, but as soon as she said, "Sisters will settle accounts tomorrow," she began to wait for Su Qingluan with that very penetrating look, which seemed to be accusing: Look, you just want to Those who treat me as an ordinary helper don’t treat me as a friend!
Under the accusation in this look, Su Qingluan felt that if he separated from her so clearly again, it would be an extremely evil crime.
But after all, Su Qingluan was embarrassed to let her take care of him for so long in vain, so he persuaded her to get a piece of bacon.
"Bacon? Are they the ones hanging under the beams outside?" Liu Yunniang pointed to the pieces of dried meat hanging outside that had turned reddish brown.
Su Qingluan nodded: "The darker the color, the more transparent the fat is, which means it is almost ready to eat. The fat part is still white, which means it is not ready yet, and it needs to be dried for a while, otherwise it will not only be easy to It’s bad, and it’s not marinated and tastes bad. Cough cough cough cough…”
"Okay, okay, I understand," Liu Yuniang looked at Su Qingluan's small face, which was as pale as paper, and she was weak when speaking, and she quickly waved her hand to chase them away, "Hurry up and lie down in the room, don't worry about it here. , at least I have stayed at your house for a few days, I know where everything is, so I don’t need you to supervise the work."
Su Qingluan teased: "Aren't you afraid that if I don't pay attention, you will take away all my family's money?"
Liu Yunniang also knew that Su Qingluan was joking, but she also followed the other person's play: "Hmph, while you are asleep later, I will take away all your money, and then take you away to I’m a cook at home!”
"Hey, I can't tell you are so cruel..."
"Hey, you should go and lie down quickly," Liu Yunniang frowned when she saw Su Qingluan coughing after the wind subsided a little, "I'll buy you some pears to cook later. Drinking it will relieve your cough and clear your lungs. "
Su Qingluan still wanted to say something, but she was really exhausted, so she fell into a drowsy state and fell asleep after eating.
I don't know how long I slept for, but when I opened my eyes, Liu Yunniang next to me had already brought the boiled Sichuan clam pear water to Su Qingluan's bedside.
"Here, you woke up just in time. Drink this Sichuan pear water before going to sleep."
Su Qingluan sweated a little again after sleeping, and happened to be a little thirsty. Although this Sichuan clam pear water had a little bit of Sichuan clam flavor, she felt a little strange, but her throat was so dry that she couldn't care less about it, so she drank it down.
"I told you to drink slower!" Liu Yunniang rolled her eyes at Su Qingluan speechlessly.
"Am I thirsty..." Su Qingluan said pitifully.
"Let me see if you are still having a fever." Liu Yuniang said, reaching out to test the temperature of Su Qingluan's forehead, but she dodged it.
"Don't get so close to me, be careful of getting sick!" Su Qingluan covered her mouth and nose and shrank inward.
"Hmph, I have been practicing kung fu with my parents since I was four or five years old, traveling around the world, and I am in good health!" Liu Yuniang patted herself and said very proudly.
Su Qingluan curled her lips disapprovingly: "Have you never heard of 'He who is good at riding will fall, and he who is good at swimming will be drowned'?"
"I haven't read a few pages of the book, don't talk to me about it!" Liu Yunniang rolled her eyes at Su Qingluan.
"That is to say, the better you are at something, the more you fail at something! You praise yourself so much, believe it or not, you are really infected by me!"
Although she said that, she still shrank back as much as possible and covered her mouth and nose with the quilt as much as possible to prevent Liu Yuniang from coming into direct contact with her breath.
Seeing Su Qingluan's face as if facing a formidable enemy, Liu Yunniang was touched and amused at the same time. She shook her head and picked up the tray: "Okay, okay, I'm not here anymore, otherwise you won't be able to rest well. I might as well go out and take a look." Are there any vegetables available in the garden behind your house, and what do you want to eat tonight?"
Su Qingluan thought about what kind of vegetables to grow in her small vegetable garden, and said two or three things. Liu Yunniang nodded: "Okay, I understand, you can have a good rest." Then she went out.
Yang and Su Guangfu were worried about Su Qingluan's condition that day, so when Yang saw that the inventory at the water stall was almost sold out, they came back first. Yun Niang took care of Mr. Yang after she got home, and then left. Before leaving, she happily took away a piece of bacon.
Sure enough, Su Qingluan started to have a fever again in the evening. Although it still did not reach the level of high fever and coma, she was still shaking all over and there was coldness in the joints of her bones.
"If this happens again tomorrow, you have to ask a doctor." Yang touched Su Qingluan's forehead and sighed worriedly: "Fortunately, the Liu family girl can come over to help take care of you during the day, otherwise we would not be able to leave the stall without worry. ”
Unexpectedly, the good did not work but the bad did. Su Qingluan had just said that day, "He who is good at riding will fall, and he who is good at swimming will be drowned." Liu Yunniang did not come the next day.
Despite Su Qingluan's persuasion, Yang and Su Guangfu left the stall, steamed egg custard for Su Qingluan and warmed it in hot water. Finally, they would not let her eat cold food. However, when they came back in the afternoon, they brought I received some not-so-good news: Liu Yunniang seemed to have passed the illness and became ill.
Su Qingluan felt very guilty for a while. After all, colds in this era are not like modern times. It can only be treated as a minor trouble for a few days.
There are no anti-inflammatory and anti-viral drugs in this era. A cold or fever can be fatal!
Su Qingluan himself didn't care about his life, but after all, he had some experience after dying once, so he was generally not too panicked. But Liu Yunniang is a serious girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. If she was tricked by her and her life was short-lived, wouldn't it be too unlucky?
"Did you ask the doctor?" Su Qingluan asked anxiously, "Uncle Liu happened to be treating her leg at Huichun Hall, so she asked the doctor at Huichun Hall to take a look at her..."
"Look, don't worry!" Yang stood at the door angrily and rolled her eyes at Su Qingluan - ever since she found out that Liu Yunniang was infected by her, Su Qingluan would not let anyone else enter the house until she died.
"You have to invite a doctor tomorrow no matter what!" Ms. Yang said angrily, "Other families are anxious to invite a doctor. I asked someone to take a look at it, but you pushed back and blocked me! Look at you, you have such a little face. They’re all burning red!”
Su Qingluan swallowed her saliva and retorted without confidence: "As the saying goes, 'Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes away like a thread'. Illness always comes back and forth..."
Of course, she said this without confidence, and finally her voice became smaller and smaller under Yang's glare.
At this time, Su Guangfu who was next to him came over, held Su Qingluan's door frame and said to Yang: "If I go to the town to hire a doctor now, I will definitely not be able to close the city gate in time, but doesn't there be a ready-made doctor in our village?"
