With Doctor Zhang here, Jiang Xiuqin has nothing to worry about.
"Then I'll have to worry about it, Sister-in-law."
Yun Cuihe waved her hand, "We are all one family, so little things like this are nothing."
Tian Chunyan glanced in the direction of Chu Yue, with a lukewarm expression on her face, "I can't tell that Xinghe's wife has such ability."
She had thought that this little girl was just an embroidered pillow, but unexpectedly she was asked to worship her master. However, her master was probably not a powerful person. The fourth child was so drunk that she actually Everyone said it was fine, I'm afraid he was just eating and drinking.
Although Chu Yue was young, she was sensitive. Knowing that her eldest aunt didn't like her, she just smiled politely at her and didn't even want to say more to her.
…
After finishing the meal with everyone's own thoughts, everyone went back to their homes.
Yun Cuihe and Chu Yue cleared the dishes on the table.
"Mom, the food is so clean today, there is not even any soup left."
Yun Cuihe sighed, "Families in our village can't even eat meat twice a year, and some people don't have to eat hard."
"It's been a long time since I've seen a greasy person eat so much meat. It's okay for adults, but I'm afraid the children will have a bad stomach." Chu Yue said softly.
Yun Cuihe smiled and shook her head, "How do they know so much? They only treat it as a good thing, as if they are afraid of wronging their own children, and want to put it all in their bellies."
Chu Yue thought of Xiao Tao again and wondered if she could have enough food and clothing now? In previous years, when the weather was hot and cold, she liked to kick the quilt the most. If she caught a cold, no one in the family would take care of her.
Yun Cuihe saw that Chu Yue was silent as she spoke, and couldn't help but look in her direction. Seeing that she looked worried, she quickly stopped what she was doing.
"What are you thinking about Yueyue?"
Chu Yue raised her head and looked at her, "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."
Yun Cuihe put down the rag in her hand, sat down at the table, and looked at her gently, "You tell me, mother, listen."
This girl rarely behaves like this. Maybe she has something important to talk to her about.
Chu Yue tightened the rag in her hand, "Mom must also know that I have a five-year-old sister named Xiaotao. With the temperament of my parents, they may sell her in a few days when the family runs out of food. Fall, I want to keep her."
She said, lowering her head.
I originally thought that Yun Cuihe would hesitate, but the next moment, I heard her say, "Actually, Xinghe has already mentioned this to me. Mom has no objection. The only thing I'm worried about is what if your parents know that Xiao Tao is coming. If you come to our place and make trouble, what should you do?"
"It's cold in the winter, and our homes are far apart. They will definitely not run this way. When the time comes, I will change Xiaotao's name, and they won't be able to find it for a while." Chu Yue lowered her head, "Besides, , they are the ones who sold their daughters, and they are the ones who abused their daughters. After all, we hold Xiaotao’s selling contract in our hands. If they dare to make trouble, I will go to the Yamen and sue them."
After a pause, he added, "But with the temperament of my parents, I'm afraid they won't go to war for Xiao Tao."
Yun Cuihe nodded, "Okay, my mother agreed to this. We don't have much room at home. When Xiao Tao comes, we can let her sleep in the same room with me first. When we have more money, we can start another one along the back of the house." Just go into the house."
Chu Yue smiled with red eyes, "Thank you, mother."
"Silly boy, my mother cares about my daughter." After saying that, Yun Cuihe got up and continued to clean the table, "Take care of this place earlier, and you can go to the room and read a few words to Xinghe. Don't let Doctor Zhang talk about it then. You don’t even understand.”
"Hey, that's good."
Chu Yue and Yun Cuihe packed up the pots, pans, tables and chairs outside, and then returned to the house.
Lu Xinghe was reading the articles that he had borrowed from Xu Heng and passed the college entrance examination in previous years. While reading, he was writing his own understanding of the articles in the small book he had bound by himself.
Chu Yue was afraid of disturbing him, so she quietly walked to another smaller desk and sat down, looking through the key points that Zhang Zheng had told her in the past few days.
In the past few days, Zhang Zheng just led Chu Yue around the mountain every day, teaching her how to identify medicinal materials and their pharmacology, and telling her how to prepare the corresponding medicinal materials. By the way, he also talked about the occurrence of pathology, which did not involve Human body meridians, pulse diagnosis and prescription matching.
Fortunately, Chu Yue was smart, and she could remember almost everything he told her. She could memorize it well by going through her notes later.
At night, Chu Yue lay on the kang in the new house and rolled around, then lay on her side facing Lu Xinghe.
"Ms. sir."
"Huh?" Lu Xinghe opened his eyes.
The little girl's eyes were bright, "Do you think the kang in the new house should be softer?"
Looking at the little girl's expectant eyes, Lu Xinghe raised the corners of his lips for no apparent reason.
"How can I see it?"
Chu Yue lay down flat, "Although the thickness of the quilts are the same, I just feel that the kang in the new house is softer."
Lu Xinghe hummed and put one hand behind his head, "That's because I put some extra straw under the quilt."
The corners of the little girl's lips raised, "No wonder you are so soft. My husband is so smart."
As she spoke, she rolled on the kang with a contented look on her face. However, she rolled too selflessly and accidentally fell into Lu Xinghe's arms.
Chu Yue stiffened, rolled over with a red face, and moved farther away from him.
"Ms. sir, I didn't mean it..."
Doesn't he think she's frivolous?
Lu Xinghe, who had clear eyes, smiled and touched her head, "It's a good thing I didn't ask you to sleep outside, otherwise I would have to pick people up from the ground in the middle of the night."
Chu Yue muttered: "No way, I won't move around while sleeping."
Lu Xinghe hummed, "Normally, no."
Unless there is a special reason, such as being frightened by beating someone in town last time, the little girl will crawl into his arms when sleeping at night.
He closed his eyes and said, "Go to bed early. Doctor Zhang may have to take you to the mountains to identify medicinal materials tomorrow."
Chu Yue nodded, turned her back and closed her eyes.
Lu Xinghe opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the little girl, took a long breath, and fell asleep with his back to Chu Yue.
…
Seeing that Lu Xinghe's well had not produced water for half a month after being drilled, the people who had been watching his family's jokes were already laughing at them behind their backs.
Brothers Sun Dazhu and Sun Erzhu were not sure whether the well could produce water. At noon that day, while eating, the two brothers looked at Yun Cuihe with some confidence.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to continue drilling this well?"
Yun Cuihe raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, "What's wrong?"
Sun Dazhu said, "This well has been drilled for five feet. With the terrain of your house, I'm afraid it will be a waste of money to drill it any further. Why don't you discuss it again?"
If it were someone else, he wouldn't say this. After all, one more day's work earns one more day's wages.
After all, Yun Cuihe and his family have been neighbors for seven or eight years. In the past, the relationship between the two families was pretty good, so he didn't want them to continue to take detours and waste money.
When asked by Brother Sun Dazhu, Yun felt unsure, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of Lu Xinghe.
"Xinghe, do you think so?"
