Yi Cheng took Er Qiang and San Li Simei to report Qiqi to play in the courtyard and taught Qiqi how to walk.
Dahuang and Xiaohei, who are a lot bigger than when they were bought back, kept wagging their tails next to them, and the caged reed chicken walked around with graceful steps.
"Come Qiqi, come to Third Sister!" Sanli stood in the distance, beckoned to Qiqi and spread her arms. Yi Cheng bent down and stood behind Qiqi, stretching her hands under his armpits, carefully Holding Qiqi's hand.
Seeing the third sister greeting him, Qiqi's face immediately showed a smile.
Although it only took one night and one morning, it was enough for Qiqi, who was just over one year old, to get familiar with his brothers and sisters.
Qiqi immediately took a step forward, and when her body leaned, she was about to fall to the side. Fortunately, Yi Cheng kept supporting her and helped Qiqi stabilize her body.
Qiqi just staggered up to Sanli and threw herself into Sanli's arms.
"Qiqi is so awesome!" Sanli smiled and took a sip on Qiqi's little face, which almost made the little guy happy.
The brothers and sisters all had smiles on their faces and looked very happy.
Simei spared no effort to clap her two little hands and clapped vigorously.
"Dongdongdong!"
Just when the five brothers and sisters were happy, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door.
"Who is it?" Yi Cheng still supported Qi Qi, but raised his head and shouted loudly outside the courtyard door. Er Qiang, San Li and Si Mei also stopped talking in unison.
"Is this Wang Zhong's home?" The woman's voice from outside the house was loud but gentle.
"Yes, who are you?" Although Yicheng felt that the friend Wang Zhong mentioned was outside the door, he was cautious and did not say his name immediately.
"My name is Ma Suqin, and I am Wang Zhong's friend. Are you the top one or the top two?" The female voice outside the room came in again. After hearing this, Yi Cheng was able to determine the identity of the person outside the door and immediately said to the top two. : "Two strong men, hurry up and open the door!"
······
In the afternoon, after work, Wang Zhong returned home as usual, got off his bicycle at the entrance of the alley, and prepared to push the bicycle into his yard.
As soon as I knocked on the courtyard door, I heard Sanli's voice coming from behind the door: "Who is it?"
"it's me!"
"It's uncle!" Sanli immediately ran to open the door with a smile.
"Eldest brother, second brother, uncle is back!" Sanli immediately shouted to the back room and Ma Suqin, wearing an apron, also walked out of the kitchen.
"Sister Suqin!" Wang Zhong greeted Ma Suqin with a smile.
Ma Suqin also said to Wang Zhong with a smile on her face: "Xiao Zhong is back! The food is almost ready, you have to rest first, you can eat it soon!"
With that said, he turned around and entered the kitchen.
"Uncle! Let me get your bag for you!"
Yicheng also walked out with a smile and took the initiative to help Wang Zhong carry his satchel, and Wang Zhong did not refuse.
"Where's Qiqi?"
"Qiqi is asleep! She's on the bed in the back room!" Yicheng said.
In the evening, Yi Cheng took Er Qiang and the others back home. Although they were reluctant to leave Qiqi, Sanli and Simei also knew that they could not cause trouble to their uncle, so they could only say goodbye to their lovely little brother reluctantly.
The four children were gone, and the house suddenly became quiet. There are indeed inherent differences between women and men. We had only seen each other for a long time, and Qiqi didn't cry or make trouble in Ma Suqin's arms, and she was a little clingy. people.
…."Sister Suqin, how are you? Are you still used to it?"
Ma Suqin nodded and said, "Very good."
"The two strong men are not causing trouble, are they?" Wang Zhong asked.
"No, no, Yi Cheng and Er Qiang are both well-behaved and obedient, especially Yi Cheng, who is young but very sensible."
Wang Dian nodded and said: "The child Qiqi has been fostered in his second aunt's house. We can only run over often to see him, but after all, we are not living together. After a long time, we will wait for the child to grow up. , it is inevitable that they will be a little unfamiliar with Yicheng, and after all, his second aunt is not the child's biological mother. When the child grows up and becomes naughty, it will be difficult to discipline him. "
Ma Suqin also nodded in agreement, looked at Wang Zhong with some concern in her eyes, and said: "I heard him talk a lot about Yicheng's family today. Yicheng's father is like that again. Your little one At such a young age, you have to carry such a heavy burden on your shoulders, thank you for your hard work!"
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Under pressure, I have the motivation to work hard. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't think about submitting articles to magazines, and I wouldn't have such an opportunity to make money."
Wang Zhong's answer surprised Ma Suqin. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of brilliance. Her eyes wandered up and down Wang Zhong for a moment before she said: "You are different from others."
"Oh? What's different?" Wang Zhong asked.
"It's different everywhere!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a slight smile appeared on her pretty face.
"By the way, Qiqi, this child, only weighed more than four pounds when he was born, and his body bones are weaker than those of his peers. I found out when I checked him yesterday that the bones in his two legs are not very well-proportioned. You When you take care of him, if you find anything unusual about him, you must tell me as soon as possible."
Looking at Xiao Qiqi in Ma Suqin's arms, Wang Zhong said seriously.
"I took note of it!" Ma Suqin also nodded with a cautious look, looked down at Qiqi, who had already closed her eyes and gradually fell into a deep sleep, and said: "I was still surprised during the day. Why is a child over this year so small?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but frown and feel distressed. He looked at Qiqi in his arms and sighed: "For such a small child, his mother left as soon as he was born, and his body and bones are not good! Oh~~~"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Zhongdao: "The world is unpredictable and we cannot control it. What we can do is to relax our mind, work hard, correct our mentality, and welcome every storm in life."
"You are young, but you have a lot of truths!" The more contact Ma Suqin had, the more she discovered that she knew so little about Wang Zhong, the former co-worker, junior brother, and current boss who had awakened her. .
It seemed that what he knew and saw before was just the tip of his iceberg.
"Age does not mean experience!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "Maybe it's because of my childhood experience, so before I do something, I like to be quiet and think about it. Over time, I slowly developed the habit of thinking. Habit."
...."I wish I could see things as clearly as you do before!" A trace of regret flashed in Ma Suqin's eyes.
Although Ma Suqin loves to be beautiful, she is still a relatively traditional woman at heart. Now she is no longer the young lady she was in her early years. She is just a woman who has lost her beauty, and she is still older, and he...
Ma Suqin raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Zhong quietly. Under the dim incandescent light, Wang Zhong could not be said to be handsome, but he was more handsome and handsome. His angular face, especially under his sword-shaped eyebrows, was as calm as an ancient well. , eyes that were as bright as stars, made Ma Suqin unconsciously feel ashamed of herself.
Uncontrollably, the figure at the factory gate that day emerged in her mind. The figure who was not tall but protected her from the wind and rain and held her firmly in his arms was like a poppy flower, taking root in Ma Suqin. heart.
Women have always been emotional creatures. In addition, Wang Zhong is not ugly, and with Liu Dakui as a clear comparison object, all the advantages of Wang Zhong are infinitely magnified at this moment.
As the saying goes, love doesn't know where it starts, it only goes deeper once it goes away.
Wang Zhong also didn't expect that this quick glance would be filled with such complicated emotions.
However, compared to Ma Suqin, He Xiaoping in the youth world and Zheng Juan in the human world have also experienced hardships.
"It's not too late to be transparent now!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "People's eyes are in the front, so of course we have to look forward. Whatever happened in the past has become the past. What we have to do is live the present moment well. , looking to the future.”
Seeing the warm sun-like smile on Wang Zhong's face, and feeling the slightly concerned eyes falling on her, Ma Suqin suddenly felt like throwing herself into that tender but warm embrace. The feeling of leaning on those shoulders that are not tall enough, but strong enough.
Ma Suqin was stunned for a moment, wondering why she had such an idea. She immediately moved her head, looked away, and suppressed the dangerous thoughts in her mind.
"As expected of someone who can publish articles in magazines, she always talks in the same way." Ma Suqin hurriedly changed the subject, but with her pretentious look and evasive eyes, how could she keep it hidden? In her Wang Zhong.
"Sister Suqin, please stop teasing me!"
Wang Zhong smiled bitterly with a bit of pleading.
Ma Suqin subconsciously glanced sideways at Wang Zhong, and when she saw his wry smile, she suddenly felt happy in her heart.
"Qiqi is almost asleep. I'll take him into the house first."
After saying that, he stood up hurriedly as if running away and disappeared from Wang's attention.
Wang Zhong watched Ma Suqin's panicked back disappear from his sight. The corner of his mouth raised a slight arc, but he did not mean to strike while the iron was hot. Instead, he turned on the desk lamp, took out the pen and ink from the desk drawer, opened the manuscript paper, and the pen tip was stained I scraped the ink on the mouth of the bottle a few times, and after thinking about it for a while, I started writing furiously.
Ma Suqin settled Qiqi, and when she came out of the room, she saw Wang Zhongduan sitting in front of the desk with a serious look on his face, writing quickly.
After staring blankly for a while, Ma Suqin suddenly woke up and hurried out to wash her face and brush her teeth. She then took a cold shower in the shed built by Wang Zhong in the courtyard.
.... By the time Ma Suqin finished cleaning up, it was almost half an hour later. In the study next to her, the dim incandescent light was still the same. The light shined through the window and onto the ground in the courtyard.
Through the window, the figure at the desk still looked the same as before, his expression still so focused. Looking down from his brow, Ma Suqin's eyes fell on those calm eyes again.
With just one glance, Ma Suqin felt as if a big whirlpool had appeared in front of her eyes, and she was sucked into it suddenly.
What made Ma Suqin even more helpless was that she didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting, and she even felt a little happy in her heart.
······
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock on the open door.
Wang Zhong's movements while he was writing quickly paused, the tip of his pen left the paper, and he turned to look at the door.
"It's getting late, why don't you go to bed?" Ma Suqin held a teapot in her hand.
"Write for a while and then fall asleep!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, his eyes brightening a little: "Did Qiqi fall asleep?"
"Already asleep!" Ma Suqin said softly, walked to the desk and put down the teapot: "It's getting late. You have to go to work tomorrow. Go to bed early and don't stay too late!"
"Don't worry, I know it well. I'll take a break after writing for another half hour!" Wang Zhong smiled slightly and said softly.
"What kind of mosquito coil are you using? With the door open, there are not even a few mosquitoes!" Ma Suqin said curiously.
Not only in Wang Zhong's study, but also in the entire house, including the three rooms including the main room, there were no long-legged mosquitoes. There was a faint fragrance lingering in the room, and the smell was consistent with the smell of mosquito coils that Ma Suqin knew. Not on.
"I made the mosquito coils myself and put them in the second drawer of the cabinet in the main room. It's quite complicated to make, but the effect is pretty good!"
In a house with a brick and wood structure, the door is still an old wooden door, and there will always be some gaps where mosquitoes can get through. Most people will hang mosquito nets in their homes. Obviously, Wang Zhong's family doesn't have that kind of thing.
"You can also make mosquito coils?" Ma Suqin was very surprised: "Then the bottle of plaster you gave me last time, was it really you who made it yourself?"
Wang Dian nodded and said: "Of course!"
Then she changed her voice and looked at Ma Suqin: "What, Sister Suqin, you still don't believe it?"
"I..." Ma Suqin paused, "It's not that I don't believe it, I am... I am..." She became even more anxious as she spoke.
"Sister Suqin, I'm kidding you!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.
Ma Suqin breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he became confused again: "How do you know so much at such a young age?"
"Are you making plasters and making mosquito coils?"
Wang Zhong explained: "When I was a child, I had a master who knew a lot. I just learned some skills in dispensing medicine and treating doctors from him, and practiced some banker's moves to exercise my body."
"Preparing medicines to treat diseases?" Ma Suqin looked at Wang Zhong with some surprise: "You can also treat diseases?"
"Know a little bit of Chinese medicine!" Wang Zhong said modestly.
"Real or false?" Ma Suqin really couldn't believe it, mainly because of Wang Zhong's age. A sixteen-year-old boy could also see a doctor. In Ma Suqin's impression, not all capable Chinese doctors were those An older one!
….And in the minds of ordinary people, the art of traditional Chinese medicine is also related to the color of the beard. The whiter the beard, as long as it has real skills, the general medical skills will be good.
As for Wang Zhong, although he is not a stinky baby, he is not suitable for Chinese medicine at all given his age. No wonder Ma Suqin can't believe it.
"How about I show it to you?" Wang Zhong made a gesture and was about to stand up. Ma Suqin took a few steps back and waved her hands: "No, no, no, I'm not sick. What's there to see?"
Wang Zhong did not insist, but looked like he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Sister Suqin, in the room you live in now, there is a cabinet next to the bedside, and in the bottom drawer, there is something from me. The milk powder prepared by Qi Qi, if Qi Qi is walking at night and is clamoring for food, you can make two spoons soaked in water and feed it to him!"
"I see!"
After explaining to Ma Suqin, Wang Zhong turned his eyes back to the manuscript paper, and was about to continue writing, but the breathing in his ears remained the same, and he did not hear the footsteps.
"Can't sleep?" Wang Zhong turned to look at Ma Suqin again and asked.
Ma Suqin nodded: "I don't feel sleepy yet!"
Wang Dian nodded, stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took down a collection of Mr. Shen Congwen's essays, and handed it to Ma Suqin: "If you really can't sleep, you might as well read it."
Ma Suqin took the book, her eyes flickered, and said with some anxiety: "Am I disturbing you by being here?"
Wang Zhong smiled: "Nothing!"
"I'm writing here, but I can't talk to you. I'm afraid you'll be bored!"
Ma Suqin showed a smile on her face and said: "Nothing, just keep writing! I'm going back to the room, remember to rest early!"
······
At almost nine o'clock, Wang Zhong turned off the desk lamp, tidied the desk, put the manuscript paper and pen and ink bottles into the desk drawer, pulled on the light cord, walked to the courtyard, took a shower, and returned to the study. Lying on the Arhat bed covered with straw mats, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, he gradually fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door and a voice from outside. At first Wang Zhong thought it was a dream, but he suddenly came back to his senses and opened his eyes.
It was indeed his own door that was ringing, accompanied by Yisheng's urgent voice.
Wang Zhong got out of bed, put on his slippers and went out. He quickly pulled out the bolt and opened the courtyard door: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Uncle! Sanli has a fever!"
"You have a fever?" Wang Zhong immediately frowned, and without asking any more questions, he hurried over: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and bring the medicine box."
Wang Zhong hurriedly entered the room, picked up the medicine box placed in the study, and put on his cloth shoes. As soon as he walked out of the study, he met Ma Suqin who also heard the sound and got out of bed to check the situation.
"What's wrong?" Ma Suqin asked hurriedly when she saw Wang Zhong's hurried expression.
"Sanli has a fever. I'll go take a look. Sister Suqin, take good care of Qiqi at home!"
"I'm at home, go quickly!" Ma Suqin's expression immediately became serious after hearing this.
Wang Zhong didn't dare to delay, so he immediately walked out of the door and hurriedly followed Yi Cheng to his home.
Ma Suqin looked at Wang Zhong's leaving figure and felt nervous.
....Although she had only been here for a long time and had not gotten along with Sanli for a short time, Sanli's obedient and sensible manner left a deep impression on her.
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly have a fever?" Wang Zhong asked on the way.
Yichen was also panicking now, "I didn't know what was going on, so I was sleeping. Suddenly I heard Sanli shouting something. I woke up and took a look, and saw that Sanli's face didn't look right. , I touched my forehead and realized I had a fever."
The Qiao family was in the alley, and they arrived in a few minutes. Wang Zhong went straight back into the house, and walked into the room of the fourth child. Er Qiang and Simei were standing by the bed, looking at the bed lying anxiously and at a loss as well. Sanli in bed.
Wang Zhong sat directly on the edge of the bed, first touched Sanli's forehead, it was indeed very hot, then pinched her hands and feet, then rolled Sanli's eyelids, opened her mouth, and looked at the color of her tongue.
Sanli was so burned that she must have fainted. She was mumbling some nonsense.
"Yicheng, go get a basin of warm water! Remember, don't make it too hot, and don't let it get too cold!" Wang Zhong hurriedly said to Yicheng.
In the current situation, the first thing to do was to cool down Sanli's fever. She didn't dare to delay and ran out immediately.
Erqiang and Sanli both stood nervously by the bed, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Wang Zhong.
Not daring to take medicine directly, Wang Zhong took Sanli's pulse first, and soon brought warm water in.
Wang Zhong had already figured it out. He first dipped a towel in warm water and helped Sanli wipe various parts of her body several times. Then he took out antipyretic medicine from the medicine box, turned it into water and fed it to Sanli.
Ten minutes later, Sanli's face looked better and she stopped mumbling. Her eyelashes moved and her eyelids trembled. Her body twisted slightly, and Wang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Children's fever can be severe or severe, and some can be so severe that it directly burns out the brain.
Fortunately, Sanli's fever wasn't very severe. Although it felt hot to the touch, it wasn't to the point of burning out her brain, and rapid physical cooling also had a certain effect.
Looking at the thermometer just taken out from Sanli's armpit, Wang Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, why isn't Sanli awake yet?" Yicheng asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, she is asleep. The fever has gone away. It's nothing serious. She just hasn't recovered yet. It's best to take it slowly for a day."
Hearing Wang Zhong's words, Yi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Then why does Sanli have a fever?"
"She must have eaten a popsicle or something cold, and been in contact with cold water for a long time, and then blew a cool breeze! Fortunately, during this period, the girl's nutrition has slowly caught up. If she had the same figure as before, she would be It’s not that easy!”
Since arriving at Wang Zhong's house, the food for the four siblings has been significantly improved. They also run with Wang Zhong every day and practice Baduanjin. Their body bones have improved a lot, and their faces have a little more vitality, and they are not as full of food as before. .
"Second brother bought some popsicles in the afternoon, but we all ate them?" Simei asked curiously.
"Silly girl!" Wang Zhong rubbed Simei's little head and said, "People's physiques are different. Just like you brothers and sisters, they were all born to the same parents, but they grow differently. It’s the same truth that they are all different.”
Simei nodded thoughtfully: "So that's it!"
"Uncle, how is my health?" Sanli was fine, and Simei was no longer worried, but was curious about her own body.
"Don't you even need to ask? Just look at the way you are jumping around!"
"Okay, it's getting late, you all should go to bed quickly!"
"Uncle, that Sanli..." Although the fever has gone away, Yicheng is still a little worried.
Wang Zhong said: "Let's do this. I'll take Sanli to my place and let her stay at my place tonight. If it happens again, there's no need to go back and forth. Let her come back when she's better tomorrow."
"Okay, listen to my uncle!" Yicheng said.
"Call me if something happens!" Wang Zhong wrapped Sanli in a blanket and hugged her. Yicheng took the initiative to help pick up the medicine box and followed Wang Zhong to take Sanli home.
