Li Man was dizzy for a while, her chest hurt from being pressed by him, she stretched out her hand and pushed him hard, but the man on her body was as strong as something, like a stone mill, pressing the little her into a perfect fit .
Opening her mouth, she took a few deep breaths before she felt better.
As for him, his face was pressed against her neck, and even his breath was hot.
Li Man was sure that he had a fever, and it was quite severe. She tried to call him several times, but there was no response. She just rubbed against her body as if feeling uncomfortable.
It can't go on like this, the ground is dirty and cold, and she has just changed into new clothes.
"Xiao Wu—" She tried to take a deep breath and shouted out a few times.
There was no movement at all, but a few barking dogs could be heard faintly, where did Xiao Wu go? She didn't see anyone after lunch, but she really didn't want others to see the embarrassment of being under Li Yan's body.
Annoyed, "Li Hua!" As a last resort, she called Li Hua again.
Sure enough, after a few times, she heard footsteps, and she was expecting someone to drag Li Yan away, but she didn't expect that a black and strong man came in, his face was full of stubble, his eyes were cloudy and bloodshot, I can't tell my age.
Li Man only thought that he was a drunk who broke in, and screamed, "Who are you? Get out, our family is behind the house, you are not allowed to play tricks. Guo"
In a hurry, she spoke Mandarin, and the visitor was obviously stunned, but then smiled naively, "Are you younger brother and sister? Isn't Dalang at home?" Then, she bent down to look again, and said in surprise , "Hey, what's wrong with Erlang?"
Are you an acquaintance of the Li family? Li Man let go of his heart for a while, and hurriedly said in an unfamiliar local language, "Uncle, Li Yan seems to have a fever, help me pull him up, okay?"
The man's turbid eyes flicked around Li Man's face, his eyes froze for a moment, then he retracted in a panic, and he couldn't help but nodded, "Okay." He helped Li Yan up.
As soon as the heavy things were off her body, Li Man immediately got up, brushed the dust off her clothes, and hurriedly led the man to the east room, "Please help me to send him to this room."
"Oh." The man obediently helped Li Yan to the east room, and then put him on the kang.
"Thank you." Li Man thanked, while reaching out to touch Li Yan's forehead, it was hot.
The man stood behind her, because Li Yan was in a half-conscious state, she was a woman, he felt something wrong, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Sister and sister, Dalang is not here, then I will come back at night."
With that said, I'm leaving.
At this time, Li Hua rushed back, saw him, slightly startled, "Brother Er Shun?"
"Silang, aren't you in school? I'm here to find your elder brother." Er Shun saw Li Hua, smiling all over his face, but his expression was a bit reserved.
Li Hua replied, "It's a few days off." Seeing Li Yan lying on the kang, he hurried forward, "What's wrong with the second brother?"
"He has a fever." Li Man was sitting on the kang, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead with a dry cloth, when she saw Li Hua coming, she ordered, "Go get some warm water."
"Oh." Li Hua saw that his second elder brother's handsome face was pale and unconscious, so he hurriedly listened to Li Man's words, and went to the kitchen to mix some warm water.
Li Man got up, took the basin and put it on a stool beside him, then rubbed it with a dry cloth in warm water, and said to Li Hua, "Untie his clothes."
"Eh?" Li Hua was stunned for a moment, but obediently untied the belt of Li Yan's shirt.
Li Man handed him the warm cloth that he had prepared, "Wipe him, wipe his neck, armpits, chest, palms, etc."
Li Hua looked at Li Man suspiciously.
"Wipe, help him cool down." Li Man stuffed the wet cloth directly into his hands, and continued, "I guess he got agitated after taking a shower with cold water yesterday, and today he was drenched in the rain all morning."
Li Hua felt that what she said was very reasonable, and hurriedly wiped it for Li Yan according to what she said.
After wiping it once, Li Man brought the wet cloth, rubbed it in the water again, and gave it to him again. Then, he gently tested Li Yan's forehead with his hands. Although the temperature dropped after wiping, it didn't take long It was hot again.
Er Shun was still standing in the room, seeing that the two of them were so busy forgetting about themselves, he opened his mouth, and then said softly, "Si Lang, do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? It's not fun if you get a cold. "
Li Hua looked serious, put the cloth into the basin, and said to Li Man, "Take care of me, I'll call my elder brother back."
The medical conditions in ancient times were very poor, and even a cold or a cold could kill a person. Li Man also became worried, and nodded quickly, "Okay."
Li Hua hurried out to find his elder brother Li Mo.
After a while, the three brothers came back together.
"What's wrong with the second brother? Wasn't he fine just now?" Li Shu was the first to run to the kang and asked worriedly.
Li Mo followed and walked over, stretched out his hand to touch Li Yan's forehead, his expression became more solemn, "I'll find the doctor right away."
"Brother, I'll go with you." Li Hua said.
Li Mo glanced at him and said, "No, you stay at home to take care of your second brother, and I'll go with your third brother." Reassuring.
Li Hua glanced at Li Man. The second brother was ill and left her alone at home. He was really worried, so he said to Li Mo, "Okay, brother, bring some money with you. If the doctor prescribes medicine, buy it first." Come back, save time and run back and forth.”
"Yeah." Li Mo said, walked to the big cabinet, called
Tang opened the cabinet, took out a small cloth bag from inside, opened it, frowned slightly, stuffed it directly into his arms, turned around and said to Li Shu, "Third brother, let's go."
"Yeah." Li Shu wiped the sweat off his forehead, and followed closely behind his elder brother.
Li Man saw that the two were about to go out, but it was foggy and rainy outside, and she didn't know how far the doctor's house was. Don’t you have anything to protect you from the rain? Umbrellas? Bamboo hats? Coir raincoats or something?”
Umbrellas are something rich people use, but it’s just a coir raincoat, Li Mo suddenly remembered, “I still have a coir raincoat at home, I’ll get it.” He hurried to the kitchen and handed it to him at the corner of the wall behind the cabinet where there were sundries. Pulled it out, it was woven by himself with coir grass a few years ago, although it was covered with dust, but after shaking it off and cleaning the dust, it could still be worn, at least it would be good to cover some rain.
Li Mo gave the coir raincoat to Li Shu, "Third brother, put it on quickly, let's go."
"Brother, what about you?" Li Shu asked while dressing.
Li Mo shook his head, "I'm fine."
The two walked directly into the rain and fog.
Afterwards, Er Shun rushed out, "Dalang, wait a minute, I still have coir raincoats at home, wait a moment, I'll get them for you."
Li Man stood at the door, watching the three of them walk away together, and wondered whether Li Mo had used his coir raincoat or not, hey, the men in this family were too good at taking care of themselves.
"Fourth brother." Li Yan's weak voice suddenly came from behind.
Li Hua sat on the edge of the kang and hurriedly replied, "Second brother, I'm here."
Li Man rushed over and saw Li Yan half-opened his eyes and seemed to be struggling to get up, Li Hua hurriedly held him down, "Second brother, you are sick, lie down quickly, eldest brother and third brother have already gone to see a doctor."
"I—" Li Yan didn't seem to expect that he was ill, and looked at Li Man again with blank eyes.
Li Man could only say, "You have a fever."
"Oh." Li Yan closed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "No wonder I feel so uncomfortable."
Li Hua hurriedly asked, "Where is it uncomfortable?"
"Fever is like this. I'm tired and my limbs are sore." Li Man answered for Li Yan directly, and then told Li Hua, "Go and change the basin of warm water, and help him to wipe it will make him feel better."
"Yeah." Li Hua hurriedly brought out the water again.
Li Yan gently opened his eyelids again, and looked at her sadly, "Do you think I'm too useless?"
He thought he was too busy, showered with cold water and rained, but, seeing him like this, Li Man didn't want to provoke him, so she just said, "It's just a minor illness, it's nothing, the doctor will come later, look, eat Just some medicine."
"What if..." Li Yan's eyes became more and more sad, "What if I can't make it through?"
"How could it be?" Li Man was taken aback by the sad pain in his eyes, "It's just a fever, you are so strong, in my opinion, maybe you don't even need to take medicine, just rest for a day, and you will die tomorrow." Can be good."
Li Yan smiled wryly, what do poor people fear most? Get ill.
This is especially true in this poor mountain valley. There are not many people who died of colds and colds. There was even a person who was bitten by some kind of bug last time, and he died in two days.
Right now, he feels like his whole body is on fire, so uncomfortable.
Li Man couldn't quite understand that a big man could think of death when he had a slight fever. Seeing that he closed his eyes and said nothing, he wanted to go to the kitchen to see why Li Hua hadn't come yet.
Just as she turned to leave, he suddenly grabbed her wrist. Li Man turned to look at him, only to see that he looked at her with blurred eyes, begging, "Stay with me."
"No, I'll go see—"
Before she could finish her sentence, he pulled her to sit on the kang with all his strength, "accompany me."
"You?" Isn't it quite energetic.
Li Yan already closed his eyes tiredly, but that hand still held her wrist tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away suddenly.
Li Man shook her head helplessly, she is really a child, is she afraid of becoming like this if she has a fever
After a while, Li Hua came over with warm water.
"Why so long?" Li Man picked up the cloth from Li Yan's forehead and rubbed it in warm water again.
"The boiling water is gone, so I boiled some more." Li Hua replied, looking at Li Yan, "Second Brother, are you feeling better?"
Li Yan was also afraid that his younger brother would be worried, so he said, "It's better."
Seeing that his voice was hoarse, Li Man hurriedly said to Li Hua, "Pour a bowl of water."
"Yeah." Li Hua turned around and went to the kitchen.
Li Yan suddenly smiled softly, "Is it really smooth for you to order the fourth brother around?"
What are you talking about? Li Man gave him a hard look, wiped his hands and neck, and then put a wet cloth on his forehead.
At this time, Li Hua came over with a bowl of hot water, which was just boiling and was still very hot.
"Let it cool down, I'll drink it for your second brother later." Li Man said.
"Yeah." Li Hua nodded, and at the same time, the look in Li Man's eyes changed slightly, "You know a lot?"
"It's all common sense. If you have a fever and a cold, drink plenty of warm water." Li Man moved his hand, which was still tightly held by Li Yan, trying to pull it away, but his five fingers were like iron clamps, and they were well clasped. tight.
Li Hua saw it at a glance. Seeing that Li Man turned sideways and covered her on purpose, she pretended not to see anything, took the hot water and went outside to cool it down again, and brought it in when she thought she could drink it.
"Let me feed you." Li Man stretched out one hand, and moved the other held hand violently.
Sure enough, when Li Yan heard this, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he obediently let go.
Li Man hurriedly got up, rubbed the red hands pinched by him, and said to Li Hua, "Feed your second brother drink more water."
Li Hua saw her running out of the house as if fleeing, the second brother stared at her annoyedly with wide eyes, and smiled softly, "Second brother, can you sit up?"
Li Yan glanced at him, then pulled the quilt to cover his face, "I have no appetite, I don't want to drink."
"Second brother." Li Hua was stunned for a moment, why did the second brother look like a child, he looked helplessly at Li Man who was standing at the door.
Li Man didn't expect that Li Yan would have a temper, but she was so sick that she had to come back, took the bowl from Li Hua, sat on the edge of the kang, and said to Li Yan, who was covered with a fever, "You have a fever, so you can't use the quilt." Hold it like this, come, drink some water." Saying that, he was pulled down by the head.
The wet cloth fell to the pillow, fine beads of sweat still oozed from his smooth forehead, his handsome face was as pale as frost, and the blood on his dry lips was almost gone.
Hey, Li Man gritted his teeth and looked at him, scooped up a spoonful of water and handed it to his lips, "Come on, have a drink."
Li Yan slowly opened his eyes, looked at him for a moment, and then opened his lips slightly.
Really pick people? The corner of Li Man's mouth twitched slightly, and lightly sent a sip of water into his mouth.
He swallowed slowly and frowned, "It's so bland, it's not good to drink."
"You are sick, and your mouth is weak. Come, drink some more." Li Man explained softly, and took another spoonful to his lips.
"I really don't want to drink." Li Yan's brows were almost knotted, but for the sake of Li Man's attentive service, he opened his mouth reluctantly and took another gulp.
Li Man just fed it spoonful after spoonful. She probably felt better after drinking water. Li Yan stopped making trouble and drank obediently.
After drinking a bowl of water, Li Man got up and told Li Hua, "Look at him, and wipe him off from time to time, he's still doing well. If you're really burned, come back to me when you're unconscious and talking nonsense."
"Where are you going?" Hearing this, Li Hua hadn't said anything yet, but Li Yan had already glared at her anxiously.
"Take a good rest." Li Man dropped a word tactfully, turned around and left the house. With her by her side, that guy might not be able to rest well.
"It's really cruel." Li Yan gritted his teeth a little bit, and refused to accompany him even when he was sick.
"Second brother." Li Hua wiped his palms for him, and said, "Go to sleep first, big brother and third brother should be back in a while."
"Oh." Li Yan closed his eyes helplessly, feeling really uncomfortable, and fell asleep in a daze.
Li Man just went to the kitchen to stay for a while, opened the window for ventilation, cleaned up the pile of debris in the corner that Li Mo had messed up, and piled up the things that were not needed in a corner, planning to find a free time Throw it all out.
After finishing his work, he washed his hands and went back to the east room. Li Hua was still sitting on the kang, and Li Yan had already fallen asleep.
Li Man walked over gently, and asked in a low voice, "Why haven't your elder brother come back yet? Is the doctor's house far away?"
"It should be soon." Li Hua was actually very anxious. There was only one old doctor in Shennvgou, who lived in a village two miles away from here. It was raining again today, and the road must be difficult. He was very worried that the doctor would not be able to come. , That's why I asked my eldest brother to bring more money. In case the doctor doesn't come, it would be good to come back with some medicine.
"Oh." Li Man looked at Li Yan, fell asleep, and was still breathing heavily, reached out and touched his forehead, it was still quite hot.
Li Hua looked at her worried face, and comforted her, "Don't worry, the doctor will be here soon."
"Hmm." In modern times, she definitely wouldn't be worried, but in this day and age, there is a shortage of medicines. She is not afraid that he will die, but that his condition will worsen, and he will get pneumonia and tuberculosis or something.
"By the way, you should also drink more boiled water." Li Man thought that Li Hua had been drenched in the rain before, so she hurriedly pulled him out, went to the door, and said, "You just stand here, the room is stuffy, I'll give him a hand." You pour some boiling water."
"No, I'll do it myself." Li Hua said politely.
Li Man didn't listen to him anymore, she went to the kitchen and poured him a large bowl of boiling water, "Drink more, because it's easy to catch a cold and have a fever in this season, so drink more boiled water."
"You don't want to drink?" Li Hua took the bowl and asked her again.
"Oh, I'll drink later." Li Man said, thinking of something again, hurried to the east room, climbed to the top of the kang, and opened the window a little bit, so as not to blow Li Yan, but also let the wind in the room The air was better, and then, looking at the thin quilt on Li Yan's body, he felt that something was wrong, so he picked up Li Hua's bed sheet and gently covered him.
Li Hua stood at the door, watched her every move, and when she came out, she couldn't help wondering, "You like this?"
"He has a fever and his body temperature is high. The quilt will cover him." Li Man replied, seeing that the water in his bowl hadn't moved, she said, "Drink it quickly, it will cool down in a while."
"Oh." Li Hua drank the water, but she still felt uneasy in her heart. After drinking, she couldn't help but said, "But, I heard people say that if you have a fever and a cold, you need to cover yourself with more quilts and cover yourself with sweat."
"Covering sweat is one way, but if it is not done well, it will cause other complications." Li Man explained, "Actually, fever itself is not a disease, but a symptom. What we are doing now is to help him physically cool down—"
Seeing Li Hua's straight eyes, Li Man suddenly realized that she had said too much, and laughed dryly, "Actually, I don't understand, but I heard what the old man said. The doctor will come later, let's listen to what he has to say."
"En." Li Hua nodded, but he had more doubts about her in his heart. The daughter-in-law not only knows how to read and write, but also understands medical theory
Inside the house, Li Yan fell into a deep sleep. During this period, Li Man wiped his palms, feet, neck, and armpits with wine, and then covered his forehead with a cold cloth, changing one from time to time. The temperature dropped a lot, and even the breathing became much clearer.
Li Hua watched from the sidelines, admiring Li Man's knowledge, and rejoicing at the improvement of his second brother.
However, Li Mo and Li Shu didn't come home after going out for half a day, so Li Hua and Li Man were worried about them. It's rainy and the road is slippery. Could something be wrong
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Li Hua really wanted to find his elder brother and third brother, but he was worried that Li Man would be alone at home.
"Let's wait a little longer." Seeing that Li Hua was anxious, Li Man comforted her like this, "Your eldest brother and third brother will be fine, maybe the doctor is busy today, so they waited a little longer. "
I can only hope so, fortunately, the second brother's situation has improved.
Not long after, Xiao Wu came back.
The little guy, who hadn't seen anyone in the middle of the afternoon, came back and looked like a little clay figurine covered in mud, which really shocked Li Hua and Li Man.
"What's wrong with you? Did you fall?" Li Hua hurried to the door and turned him around to make sure he was fine before rest assured.
With a grimy face holding back tears, he choked up and said to the fourth brother, "It was the stone that pushed me."
"Who is the stone?" Li Man asked while finding Xiao Wu's clothes in the big cabinet.
"It's just a stone." Xiao Wu cried to his family while wiping away tears, "The sluice I made, he insisted on releasing water, and if I refused, he pushed me."
The children here usually don’t have anything to play with. When it rains, the adults will trouble you first, and they will benefit. The children in a village like to run to the village entrance, step on the muddy water with bare feet, and then draw small roads. The diving ditch is used as a sluice to play.
Xiao Wu is also a fan of this kind of game. After lunch, when he heard the noise of children playing outside, he couldn't hold back and ran out. Who knows, he is small and weak, and the children in the village love to bully him.
It's fine when you go out, and it's like this when you come back.
"Who told you to play with him again, the last time your nose was bleeding, don't you remember?" Li Hua was angry and hurt seeing his younger brother's miserable appearance.
Li Man came out with clean clothes, rubbed Xiao Wu's head, and said to Li Hua, "Boys, it's normal to like to fight, don't scold him, go, Xiao Wu, my sister will take a bath for you."
As he spoke, he took Xiao Wu from Li Hua's hand and led him into the kitchen.
"Hurry up and take off your wet clothes." Li Man put the bathtub, and ordered Xiao Wu while adding water.
Xiao Wu bit her lip, and when she saw Li Man about to bathe her, she kept stepping on her right foot with her left foot in embarrassment.
"Take it off quickly." Li Man had already mixed the water. Seeing that Xiao Wu was still dawdling, she got up and pulled him to her face, and said funny, "Little thing, are you still shy?" Start to undress him.
Xiao Wu is really a shy child, shrinking his body and shouting, "Sister, I can wash myself."
"Can you wash?" Li Man didn't believe it. She quickly undressed him and teased, "Then why did I see that you have putty on the back of your neck? You must not know how to rub it when you take a shower."
"I—" He took off his shirt and trousers. Xiao Wu refused to let Li Man take off his pants, and kept his legs together.
Li Man glared at him angrily, "Little thing, how old are you?"
At the same time, he called Li Hua to come over.
Li Hua was in that room, because Li Yan woke up, said a few words, and ran over quickly when he heard the call from here.
Li Man gave Li Hua the bath cloth, and said, "You wash him well. This hair also needs to be washed, and there is a lot of mud on it. Wash it off. I'll boil some more water, and let it cool down for a while." Redeem."
As he said that, he picked up the gourd ladle, scooped a few ladles of water from the water tank, poured it into the big pot, covered the pot, and then lit a fire behind the stove.
Unexpectedly, this rainy day is also flooding, and she can't hit it anyway. She spent a long time trying, but she didn't see any sparks, so she couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Li Hua had already washed his little brother's hair, and when he heard Li Man's depressed grunt at the bottom of the pot, he wrapped a dry cloth around Xiao Wu's head, and went over by himself, "Can't you hit it?"
"Yeah." Li Man hurriedly got up and gave him the torch, "Come on, I'll wash it for Xiao Wu."
As he said that, he came towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was wiping her hair with a dry cloth, but when she saw Li Man coming again, she shrank in panic, wishing she could hide in the tub.
Li Man couldn't help laughing, squatted down, grabbed his arm, and wiped him with a damp cloth.
"Just hide, and I'll wash it for you too, don't think about coming out until it's clean."
Xiao Wu's white and tender face was so red that it could bleed in an instant, and he didn't dare to look at Li Man anymore, his head could touch the rim of the basin.
Li Man didn't care, he was only such a small child, according to modern times, she could be his mother, but in fact, in her heart, she really regarded him as her own child.
Wash the mud off his body with a damp cloth, and rub the ashes on him with your hands.
Xiao Wu felt itchy, couldn't help giggling, and moved his small body around in the bathtub.
Li Man held him down with one hand, and quickly rubbed the other hand until he felt clean.
I asked Li Hua to mix the boiling water again, so that Xiao Wu was washed from head to toe with boiling water, then dried with a dry cloth, wrapped directly in a quilt, and carried away by Li Hua Dongwu, get dressed slowly.
And Li Man pressed all Xiao Wu's dirty clothes into the bathtub and soaked them, planning to wash them later. There was still hot firewood in the pot hole, so she could cook some ginger soup. Xiao Wu had to drink some. When Mo and Li Shu came back, they had to drink something too.
I found a piece of old ginger, washed it and cut it into shreds, then put it in a pot and mixed it with water. After it boiled, Li Man filled a small bowl and brought it into the east room.
At this time, Li Yan had already sat up, and Li Hua folded the quilt and placed it on his back, so that he would be more comfortable.
Xiao Wu was taught a lesson by Li Hua, obediently huddled in his little quilt, only showing a small head, when Li Man came in, he hurriedly huddled his head into the quilt too.
"I'm not afraid of being bored." Li Hua glanced at Xiao Wu lightly.
"What?" Li Yan's spirit seemed to have improved a lot, and his eyes became clearer, "Give it to me?"
"Are you thirsty? Why don't you drink some water later?" Li Man said, calling Xiao Wu, "Get up, drink some ginger soup, otherwise, you will be in trouble if you catch a cold again."
Xiao Wu showed a small face, but he was still very embarrassed.
Li Hua pulled him out of the quilt, and took the bowl from Li Man's hand to him, "Drink it while it's hot."
"Oh." Xiao Wu glanced at Li Man, and obediently drank ginger soup with a blushing face.
Li Yan watched from the side, looking at Li Man quietly, "Where's mine?"
"I'll get you some water." Li Man didn't mind his grandpa's tone, a healthy person can deal with it however he wants, but if he gets sick, not only her, but also the entire Li family will suffer.
Seeing her so obedient and obedient, Li Yan felt satisfied.
Li Man went to the kitchen and poured another bowl of boiling water. As soon as she came out, she saw Li Mo and Li Yan rushing into the yard with anxious expressions.
"What? The doctor didn't come?" Li Man asked standing under the eaves.
Li Mo's face was serious, and Li Shu couldn't wait to complain, "Don't mention it, the doctor is not at home, we went to Shilipu to look for the goddess, but she was not there, no, it has been delayed until now."
"How's the second brother?" Li Mo ignored Li Shu, only approached quickly, and asked Li Man.
"It's much better." Li Man said, "By the way, there's still ginger soup in the pot, you two hurry up and drink some while it's hot."
"I'll take a look at the second brother." Li Mo didn't invite the doctor, and he felt guilty. He was really worried that the second brother would make a mistake. When he entered the room and saw Li Yan sitting on the kang, his energy was much better than before. A hanging heart finally settled down, "Second brother, how do you feel? Doctor Wang has gone outside the mountain, and I don't know when he will be back. I'll go and see tomorrow."
"Brother, I'm much better." Li Yan didn't know whether it was sweat or raindrops on his elder brother's face, and he felt uncomfortable.
"That's good." Li Mo came over and stretched out his hand to feel his forehead. It was still a little hot, but it was not so obvious. He said unconsciously, "It's really better." The quilt was not covered, so he hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover him.
Li Yan pushed back, "Brother, my daughter-in-law said no."
Li Mo was taken aback, and Li Man heard the conversation inside, so she came in with a bowl and handed the hot water to Li Yan, "Drink it while it's hot." Then she explained to Li Mo, "He has a fever and his body temperature is high, so I need to disperse it for him." It’s good to cool down.”
Li Mo still doesn't understand after hearing this, don't you have to sweat if you have a fever? He was also afraid that the second younger brother would be in trouble if he caught the wind and cold again.
Seeing this, Li Hua explained, "Brother, listen to her, the second brother is indeed much better."
Li Mo was surprised, and looked at Li Man in disbelief, did she make the second brother's illness better
At this time, Li Shu obediently drank a large bowl of ginger soup in the kitchen and came over, holding a bowl in his hand, "Brother, you can also drink some of the ginger soup made by my wife."
"Oh." Li Mo took the bowl, and took another deep look at Li Man, with tenderness and warmth in his eyes, "Thank you."
Li Man felt a little embarrassed when he was like this, "You're welcome, drink it while it's hot, you've been tired all afternoon, take a rest after drinking it. Oh, that's right." She looked at the feet of the two of them again, It's all mud, Ning Mei said, "There is still hot water in the kitchen, you two should soak your feet first."
"Soak your feet?" Li Shu heard this for the first time. He used to just wash his feet with water when they were dirty.
Li Man ignored him, and said to Li Mo, "I'll go and wash Xiao Wu's clothes, you two will get some hot water for yourself later, and the bubbles will also go to the cold, otherwise you will walk barefoot in the mud all day long. It’s also easy to get sick.”
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Li Shu said.
Li Mo's face is slightly embarrassed, he is a big man who still soaks his feet... But his wife said, he will do it.
After Li Yan and Li Mo finished drinking, Li Man took the bowl and went to the kitchen.
In the room, there are only a few brothers from the Li family left.
Xiao Wu retracted into the quilt again, with a happy smile on his face.
Li Shu walked to the Kang and asked Li Yan, "Second Brother, how do you feel now?"
"It's much better." From the sincere greeting from his younger brother, Li Yan still felt warm in his heart.
"That's good." Li Shuchang heaved a sigh of relief. He and his eldest brother were anxious and angry because they hadn't invited a doctor. On the way back, the eldest brother walked in a hurry, passing by a pond, and almost slipped into it. Fortunately, he grabbed a branch on the bank and didn't fall into the water.
"Okay, third brother,
Let your second brother take a rest to rest his mind. "Li Mo glanced at Li Yan, then said to Li Shu, dragging him out of the room together, and went straight to the kitchen.
Li Shu suddenly remembered, by the way, he still needs to wash and soak his feet.
In the kitchen, Li Man was washing Xiao Wu's clothes. When she saw the two of them coming in, she said, "The hot water has been scooped into the bucket for you. After washing, you should put on your shoes, and you are not allowed to walk barefoot."
"Yeah." Li Mo responded, picked up the bucket, and walked out, Li Shu hurriedly took the footbath and followed.
The two first dumped the mud on their feet by the well, then moved a stool, sat under the eaves, and soaked their feet in hot water together.
Walking barefoot on the muddy road, the soles of the feet were cold and numb, and suddenly soaked in hot water, it was so comfortable that people gasped.
"It's so comfortable." Li Yan took a deep breath, turned his head and looked into the kitchen, "My wife is so nice."
Li Mo smiled slightly, looking at Li Man's gaze, it became more and more hot and gentle.
—
After washing the clothes, Li Man moved the bamboo poles under the eaves to her own room, and at least hung up Xiao Wu's clothes, and she might have to wash them again when the weather cleared.
After finishing her work here, she went back to the east room to see that Li Yan showed no signs of seriousness, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the kitchen silently, and started preparing dinner.
Seeing that his brothers were all in the house, Li Mo thought of helping Li Man in the kitchen, but he felt a little embarrassed in front of his younger brothers. After all, even the third younger brother Li Shu didn't rush to go. If he goes, will it be too...
"Brother, she doesn't know how to make a fire, so go and help." Li Hua sat by the window, took a book and read it, seeing that Li Mo was absent-minded, said in a low voice.
"Ah? Oh." Li Mo blushed, and glanced at Li Yan and Li Shu.
Li Yan closed his eyes, Li Shu and Xiao Wu surrounded Li Hua, asking him what the book said.
"Then I'll go and have a look." Li Mo said in a low voice, then hurriedly turned and went out, as if he was afraid that Li Shu would take the lead.
I ate noodles at noon. Li Man originally wanted to eat something else in the evening, but Li Yan was ill, and the others were also exposed to rain. It would be better to eat warm noodles to warm their stomachs, so she scooped up some more. Flour, knead in a bowl.
The sky was getting dark and the light in the kitchen was getting dim.
Li Mo came in and saw her standing by the window kneading dough, so he helped light the oil lamp, and then put the oil lamp on the side of the pot, the warm orange light instantly warmed the heart, sweeping away the haze of this rainy day Qi.
"Noodles at night?" Li Mo stood beside her, tilted his head slightly, stared at her soft side face, and asked seemingly unintentionally.
"Yeah. Let's make some gnocchi, it's easy to digest." Li Man said while kneading the dough.
"Yeah." Li Mo snorted, leaning against the pot, thinking if he could help.
Li Man kneaded for a while, and just reached out to get the gourd and add some water to it, Li Mo took the initiative to help her and handed the gourd gourd to her.
"You?" Li Man was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you take a break?"
A gust of cool wind suddenly blew in from the slightly open window, and the lights jumped twice suddenly. Li Mo hurriedly blocked it with his hands, and replied, "Let me light the fire."
The kitchen was not big, and the light was dim. Li Mo stood next to her, and a huge shadow fell on her body, which made her suddenly feel an indescribable oppression, "No, I can do it by myself. Don’t fry anything, just put the noodles in the pot and boil them.”
"I'll come." Li Mo gave her a warm look, turned around and went to the stove to start a fire, but just as he got the firewood, he suddenly thought of something, got up and walked over again.
Seeing him suddenly approaching again, with a tense expression and hot and excited eyes, Li Man panicked inexplicably, "What's the matter with you?"
"This." Li Mo suddenly didn't dare to look at her directly, but quickly took out the marriage rope that had been in his arms for a day, and stuffed it into her hand, "This is for you."
