Luo Xiujuan, who was inside the window, looked motionlessly at Ye Yun, who was eating a candy packet. To be precise, she was looking at the candy packet.
Although a bowl of noodle tea relieved her hunger, she hadn't eaten noodles for a long time and couldn't stand the sweet smell of steamed buns. The hunger that penetrated her bones made her saliva flow out like a flood at this moment.
But that bowl of noodle tea is enough.
Ye Yun had already given her a bowl of noodle tea and asked the doctor to check on her son. What shame could she have to covet the sugar packet in someone else's hand?
For just a bowl of noodles and tea and her son's medicine, she had to find a way to repay Ye Yun's kindness.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiujuan decisively lowered the window. She couldn't control her hunger, so she simply didn't look at it, so as not to make Ye Yun misunderstand that she was a greedy person.
Although Luo Xiujuan was very hungry, she still clearly knew the principles of life.
The window was gently closed. Even though the person closing the window moved very gently, there was still a slight movement, which made several people in the yard cast surprised glances in unison.
Aunt Tian was surprised and lowered her voice first: "Zhengzi's wife, is that woman awake?"
Ye Yun nodded.
"How's it going?" Aunt Tian's face was full of curiosity, whether that person relied on Ye Yun.
Ye Yun pulled her lips and laughed lightly, "It's nothing. It means that her home is quite far away from here. She came all the way begging for food. Her son hasn't woken up yet, so let her stay for now."
Aunt Tian nodded and remained silent.
I thought there was a good show to watch, but I didn't expect that both the other party and Ye Yun were emotionally stable.
Qin Xiang'e looked away from the window and looked at Ye Yun, with a hint of worry in her tone, "She also has a child? Is the child sick? Why did he sleep in your and Qin Zheng's room? What if you get sick? What to do? If you want to take them in, why don't you let them move to my and the old lady's house?"
After asking several questions in a row, she was really worried.
Ye Yun shook her head, "That's it."
He was already asleep. If the disease the child had was contagious, moving now would be of no use.
Aunt Tian finished delivering the sugar packets and left.
Qin Xiang'e put the remaining sugar packets into the steamed bun basket and looked around the yard, but did not find Qin Zheng.
"Zhengzi, what are you doing when you're not at home at noon?" Qin Xiang'e clicked her tongue, pressed down the water, and started cooking with a clink of a bucket.
Ye Yun doesn't know either.
When Qin Zheng asked her what she wanted to eat, she couldn't explain why. She thought about it and said casually: "I have no appetite."
"no appetite?"
Seeing her embarrassment, Qin Zheng thought for two seconds but suddenly thought of something. He smiled at her and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to find something for you. Once you see it, you'll have an appetite to eat."
He left without waiting for Ye Yun to answer.
Then, I haven't come back yet.
Ye Yun didn't know what Qin Zheng was looking for, so she didn't say much when she saw Qin Xiang'e muttering about Qin Zheng.
At this moment, a hurried condor stumbled out of the main room.
"Auntie, I'll do it."
With an eager look on her face, Luo Xiujuan diligently snatched the bucket from Qin Xiang'e's hand and staggered into the kitchen shed.
It was obvious that her strength had not been restored, and she staggered from the bucket of water when she entered the stove shed.
This encounter made Qin Xiang'e stunned.
Qin Xiang'e stared at Luo Xiujuan who suddenly appeared with her mouth agape. She couldn't help but cast doubtful eyes on Ye Yun. What does this mean?
Ye Yun shrugged.
She glanced in Luo Xiujuan's direction. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone help her with the work?
As if she was living under someone else's roof at her home, Luo Xiujuan was afraid of offending Ye Yun and Qin Xiang'e, so she quickly added water to the pot, one ladle, one ladle, and she didn't stop after adding three ladles.
"Enough is enough!"
This movement frightened Qin Xiang'e and quickly stepped forward and snatched the water ladle away from her hand.
"We don't have a big family, so three ladles are enough."
Qin Xiang'e didn't dare to let Luo Xiujuan do anything anymore and asked her to rest while Gu Zi quickly started cooking.
Luo Xiujuan stood by at a loss and watched Qin Xiang'e busy around. She clasped her fingers and raised her voice bravely: "Auntie, don't dislike me. I often cook at home. I can help, so you gave me I have food to eat, and I also asked the doctor to treat my son, so just let me do the work!"
Otherwise, she would have a bad conscience.
Qin Xiang'e thought for a while, and finally turned her questioning eyes to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun was noncommittal.
Qin Xiang'e turned her head and looked at Luo Xiujuan again. The girl was looking at her eagerly, as if she was afraid that she would not be allowed to work. She finally sighed, "You look very weak. How can you save crops in the field?" Is there any work for you to do? How about... you just sit here and help me light the fire, and don't do anything else."
Luo Xiujuan was delighted, "Okay!"
After saying that, she conveniently sat down on the small bench in front of the pot, stuffed the branches into the pot, and stuffed a few flammable straws into it. The match was lightly slid on the matchbox, and the small flame was easily ignited. Straw was stuffed into the pot, and a bright flame suddenly ignited at the bottom of the pot.
Qin Xiang'e, who was washing rice, felt relieved when she saw this.
He's really a good worker.
His hands and feet are also diligent, but he doesn't know why he is reduced to begging for food.
Qin Xiang'e was confused and asked naturally: "Sister, which village are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I..." Luo Xiujuan lowered her head, "My home is far away from here, separated by two hills."
"Ah?" Qin Xiang'e couldn't express her surprise. She looked her up and down in astonishment, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "No wonder I haven't seen you before. Then you came over two mountains with your child? You should look like this. You’re not bad looking, and your hands and feet are nimble, so why are you bringing your child out to beg for food?”
Luo Xiujuan wanted to explain, but she instantly shut up when she saw Ye Yun in the yard.
Ye Yun doesn't like to hear about her experiences and what she wants to do in the future, and she won't talk about it again.
"Okay, it's okay if you don't want to say it. People always have to look forward and let the past pass." Qin Xiang'e didn't care about her attitude and waved her hand with a smile.
The girl in front of me doesn't look like the kind of beggar who only knows how to beg for food, so she has a good attitude.
The rice was put into the pot and the steamed buns were put on it. Qin Xiang'e put the lid on the pot and let Luo Xiujuan cook slowly. She turned around and took out a bag of green apples she bought from the roadside when she came back from the tricycle, and fetched water from the well. Clear and clean.
Remove the skin and core, cut into bite-sized pieces and give them to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun had already entered the house at this time.
The child lying on the kang let out a faint cry of pain, just enough for her to hear.
"Mother...mother..."
The child's eyes were closed tightly, his eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and he kept murmuring uncomfortable and painful words as if he was possessed by a nightmare.
Because he had taken antipyretics, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his messy long hair was wet and stuck to his face. When Ye Yun touched the temperature of his forehead, her hands were inevitably wet with sweat.
Ye Yun twisted a wet towel and was about to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Suddenly the child suddenly opened his eyes.
