An Ran didn't dare to go deep into the mountains, so he walked a little further into the mountains to collect more medicinal materials and some good wild fruits, and brought them home for Xiao Shitou to eat.
At noon, I ate dry food with water, rested for a while, then picked up the basket and went to the other side to look for medicinal materials.
Now processing medicinal materials is the main source of income for their family.
When he got some silver by accident, An Ran took out ten taels and hid them for emergencies.
The rest plus medicinal materials sold from time to time. The things that Old Dingtou helped people drive and collect have almost been spent over the past few years.
The main reason is that having a child costs too much money, and An Ran doesn't want to wrong her son, so when she can make more money, she must not let it go.
The basket is full of medicinal herbs, and An Ran is searching the mountains for wild fruits.
By the time we got out of the mountain, the sun was already setting.
When she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw Old Dingtou driving a donkey cart waiting for her.
"Young lady, you're late today. Get in the car quickly."
There are two bundles of firewood in the car, which Old Dingtou must have picked up just now. After sitting down safely, he put the backpack in front of him, the old man whipped his whip, and the donkey cart drove home.
Halfway through, it started to rain again. The old man whipped his whip twice to get the donkey cart running.
The door of the house was open, Xiao Shitou was sitting at the door, and Da Hei was lying at his feet. Seeing the donkey cart coming, the little stone jumped up.
Old Dingtou drove the donkey cart into the yard and said: "Young mistress, please go into the house quickly. You are soaked in the rain and drink some ginger soup. Young master, why did you come out? Go back quickly."
Xiao Shitou hadn't seen his mother all day. Now he was pulling on his mother's sleeves and looking at his mother longingly.
An Ran put the backpack away, hugged her son, and said, "Why are you sitting outside when it rains? Mom said she would be back in the evening and she would coax you."
Xiao Shitou curled his lips aggrievedly and said, "It's already dark, and my mother hasn't come back yet."
An Ran said: "Mom is wet now. I have to take a shower. After mom has finished washing, I'll wash Xiao Shitou, okay?"
Little Shitou nodded and took the wild fruit that his mother handed him. "I'll let Aunt Chen wash the fruit first, and we can eat it together later."
An Ran smiled and said, "Okay,"
Xiao Shitou also protects food outside. He is not happy when An Ran gives food to others, but he is indeed very generous to these people in the family.
After dinner in the evening, Xiao Shitou hugged his mother's arm and asked her to coax him to sleep.
An Ran was also helpless. Her son was sometimes too squeamish, so if she had to coax him into saying nice things or sing to him, he would be happy.
After Xiao Shitou fell asleep, Anron felt something was wrong. His head was a little heavy and his throat was dry. It had rained a few days ago and it was relatively humid in the mountains. On the way back, he got caught in the rain again. He was going to have a fever. "
An Ran hurriedly stayed away from the little stone, got up and went to the kitchen to cook a large bowl of ginger soup before going back to the house to sleep.
But I was still sick the next day, but the medicinal materials collected yesterday had not been processed yet. An Ran held on and asked Sister Chen to help dry the medicinal materials. If they couldn't be dried today, they would light a fire to dry them.
By noon, my head was getting dizzy and I had no strength. I drank another bowl of medicine that I made myself. I didn’t even eat lunch, so I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
When An Ran woke up at night, he turned around and saw Xiao Shitou sleeping next to him, with tears on his face.
An Ran came out quietly, and Sister Chen hurriedly came over and said, "Grandma, how are you feeling? You slept all afternoon and made us anxious."
"I feel better now. Did Little Shitou make trouble this afternoon?"
Sister Chen said: "To say that our young master is really sensible, he didn't make a sound even if he cried, just for fear of disturbing you. He stayed in the house all afternoon and didn't go out to play."
An Ran scooped up water and washed her face. Sister Chen gave her a bowl of meat porridge and said, "Grandma hasn't eaten at noon. Eat something quickly. There's still some in the pot. I'll give the young master some more later."
After finishing the porridge, An Ran was about to put the porridge in a bowl and bring it back to the house for Xiao Shishi to eat, when he heard a burst of crying that broke the roof of the house.
An Ran slapped her forehead, quickly put down the bowl, and ran back to the house.
There was no light in the room, so An Ran lit it first and saw his son standing on the kang, staring at him, grinning and howling.
An Ran hurriedly stepped forward, hugged her son, and said softly: "Little Shitou, don't cry. Mom hasn't left. Mom is in the courtyard. Stop crying."
Mainly because I cried so loudly that my head hurt.
Xiao Shitou hugged his mother's neck, howled a few more times, sobbed twice and said, "Why didn't you call me when mother went out? I thought she was lost."
An Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She hugged her unreasonable son and said, "Mom is hungry. Mom went to the kitchen to eat. She also left a bowl of meat porridge for Xiao Shitou. Stop crying. Mom will take you to eat."
Little Shitou then stopped talking and asked his mother to put on his shoes. When he went to the kitchen, he washed his face first and waited for his mother to feed him with his mouth open.
As soon as Xiao Shitou cried, Mrs. Ding and Sister Chen came out. An Ran waved to them before they went back.
Even if An Ran was not cured the next day, she did not dare to delay and hurriedly concocted the medicinal materials. If the medicinal properties were lost after leaving it for a long time, the pharmacy would not accept it.
After working for more than a day, I finally finished it, but An Ran had a fever again.
This time I slept for a whole day, but Xiao Shitou was frightened. No matter how much Mother Ding and Sister Chen coaxed him, he would not leave An Ran's side.
A few days later, after An Ran was completely healed, Mrs. Ding said, "Grandma, there is hope. Our young master will definitely be filial in the future."
An Ran smiled, yes, God gave her a son, and even for his son, she could not fall.
Xiao Shitou has been really obedient these days. He listens to what An Ran says and doesn't talk back or make his mother angry.
However, temperament is innate, and it is impossible to become a good baby all of a sudden.
If he made a mistake sometimes and An Ran didn't scold him, he would get tired of being by his mother's side at night.
If one day he made a mistake and was scolded by An Ran, he would not kiss his mother. Although he said nothing, he expressed his dissatisfaction with actions.
Early this morning, An Ran took licorice and a few herbs, put them in a small basket, and asked Xiao Shitou to deliver them to Grandma Hua of the house leader's family.
An Ran came back from outside yesterday and met Aunt Hua. He found out that she had been coughing for the past two days and agreed to get her some medicine today.
"Give this to your Grandma Hua. This year, the third family said that his crops are not growing well. You go to the field to see if it is really what he said, otherwise we will have to collect less rent."
Xiao Shitou patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I can see clearly. Don't try to fool me."
An Ran kissed her son's cheek and said, "Mom's little stone is so powerful. Go ahead and be careful on the way. Don't be playful. Come back as soon as you finish delivering. Mom will prepare delicious food for you."
Xiao Shitou happily greeted Dahei and went out.
An Ran watched her son walk away, then turned and went to the kitchen.
~~~
Fangfang: Since I was a child, although I am not a good boy, I will definitely give the heroine a filial son.
Xiao Shitou smiled proudly.
