Probably because he was eager to go home, Li Qingling felt that the journey home was faster than when he came here. Even Li Qingfeng didn't have to carry it on his back, and walked all the way home from the town.
As soon as she reached the door of the house, she called mother loudly. As soon as Zhao heard the call, she hurried out of the house and was relieved to see her son and daughter who had returned safely.
"Are you back?" She took Li Qingling's pannier, feeling heavy, "What did you buy? It's so heavy?"
Li Qingfeng entered the room and excitedly told Mrs. Zhao that there is meat to eat tonight. Mrs. Zhao stroked his head and said hello twice, but his heart was slightly sour. After his father was gone, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time No wonder my son is so happy.
"Mother, I got a tael of silver from selling ginseng. I bought something, and I have half a tael of silver left over for you." Li Qingling took out the remaining half tael of silver and handed it to Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao shook her head and refused to accept it, "This is yours, you can keep it yourself!"
"Okay, mother, ask me if you need it." Li Qingling put it away, and took out the things she bought, "Mom, I bought colored thread for you to tie."
"Okay..." Mrs. Zhao touched the colored thread happily. Since the separation of her family, she wanted to make money by making ties, but she didn't have the money to buy colored threads. Now that she can make ties, the family can also have some income in the future.
Qingfeng Li hurriedly handed the buns to Mrs. Zhao and asked her to eat them.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao felt happy, but she still said a few words to Li Qingling. Li Qingling smiled indifferently, and asked Li Qingfeng to take the remaining four to Zhiyan.
Children like to do this kind of thing the most, Li Qingfeng didn't say a word, and ran away excitedly with the buns, Zhao Shi was bluffed and shouted to slow down.
"Mother, I don't like steamed stuffed buns, you can eat with Xiaofeng!" Shi Zhao looked at the buns left for her, and pushed them in front of Li Qingling.
Li Qingling glanced at her, feeling warm in her heart. Both parents were the same. In order to save food for their children, they lied that they didn't like it.
"Let's eat, we've already eaten." She pushed the bun back, picked up the pork, and walked to the kitchen.
Looking at her daughter's small back, Mrs. Zhao wiped her moist eye sockets, picked up a bun and ate it. She thought it was the best bun she had ever eaten in her life.
Li Qingfeng, who came back from playing at Liu's house, smelled the smell of meat, and hurried into the kitchen, lying on Li Qingling's back, "Sister, it smells so good!" He swallowed.
Li Qingling lifted the lid of the pot, tried it with a bowl, and felt that the soup was ready, so she removed the fire. She glanced sideways at Li Qingfeng who was swallowing.
"If you want to eat early, light the fire for me."
There is no such thing as a gentleman staying out of the kitchen in her house, and she hopes that he will be as many as possible.
"Okay..." Although Li Qingfeng is a small person, he is quite good at lighting fires. Li Qingling said that he can adjust the fire from big to small.
"Okay, it's time to eat." Li Qingling served the lean meat and fried mushrooms.
Tonight's dishes are very rich, including fatty meat stuffed with soy sauce, lean meat fried with mushrooms, bone soup, and her specially cooked rice mixed with polished rice and brown rice. She nodded in satisfaction, this is life.
Qingfeng Li took a deep breath, and praised: "It's so fragrant."
Li Qingling glanced at him with a smile, took out two bowls, poured half of the fat meat and lean meat into it, and filled another bowl of bone soup, "You and mother eat first, I'll bring these to Brother Mo and the others to taste "The three brothers and sisters probably haven't eaten meat in the past few months.
"I am coming too…"
"Okay, then you can serve this! Be careful!" Li Qingling handed him the meat bowl, and took him to Liu Zhimo's house.
Liu Zhimo and the others were also preparing to eat. Li Qingling saw a bowl of polished rice porridge and two bowls of brown rice porridge. Her face remained unchanged and she put the bowls on the table. place, remember to tell me!"
Liu Zhiyan looked at the meat and then at his elder brother, biting his lip and not daring to say anything.
"Okay..." After a long time, Liu Zhimo nodded. He will always remember her kindness to him.
Only then did Liu Zhiyan laugh. "Thank you, Sister Qingling, it looks delicious."
Li Qingling patted his head, "Then eat more." Then he looked at Liu Zhimo, "Then let's go back to eat first."
She was quite satisfied with Liu Zhimo's understanding. Fortunately, he was not a man who would rather starve to death than accept other people's kindness. In her opinion, that kind of man didn't have backbone, but a big man's face.
"Hmm..." Liu Zhimo sent them out of the door, staring deeply at her back, and closed the courtyard door after she entered the house and was out of sight.
He returned to the house, looked at Liu Zhiyan seriously, and told him word by word that the Li family's kindness to them must be engraved in his heart, and when he is capable in the future, he will repay them well.
Liu Zhiyan nodded heavily, saying that he would remember, and finally said, "Brother, Sister Qingling is a bit dark, don't despise her in the future."
Liu Zhimo glanced at him with a half-smile, "Which of your eyes would despise her when you see me? Huh?"
"Uh..." He didn't say that because he was white and Sister Qingling was dark, "It's fine if you don't dislike him."
In the middle of the night, Li Qingling was soundly asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. She listened carefully and found that it was Liu Zhimo's voice, and it was urgent.
She jumped out of bed quickly, forgot to put on her shoes, ran out to open the door, saw Liu Zhimo who was pale with anxiety, and asked him what happened
"Qingling, Rourou has a fever, can you lend me some money, I'll take her to the town to see a doctor."
He had no choice but to ask her for help.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingling turned around and ran back to get the silver, put on her shoes and ran out again. At this time, Mrs. Zhao also got up and asked what was wrong.
"Mother, Rou Rou has a fever, I will accompany Brother Mo to the town."
"Be careful." Mrs. Zhao was also anxious, "Zhimo, go to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart, Rou Rou will not delay."
Liu Zhimo nodded indiscriminately, and asked Li Qingling to wait for him at his house, while he borrowed the ox cart.
Li Qingling ran to Liu's house and shed tears when she saw Liu Zhiyan hugging Liu Zhirou.
She touched Liu Zhirou's forehead, it was indeed very hot, if the child is not paying attention at this time, it is easy to die young.
Now, she was also in a hurry, before Liu Zhimo came back, she ran to boil some warm water, moistened it with a cloth towel, and put it on Liu Zhirou's forehead, hoping it would start to work.
"Sister Qingling, will my younger sister die?" Liu Zhiyan asked crying, he was afraid that his younger sister would be like his parents, and he would not want him anymore, "It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of my younger sister, and let her play in the water and catch a cold .”
Li Qingling changed the cloth towel again and comforted him, "No way, don't think about it."
As soon as the words were finished, Liu Zhimo came back with the ox cart. Li Qingling walked into the room quickly, carried a quilt out, and spread it on the ox cart.
The dew is heavy in the middle of the night, so Liu Zhirou can't be so cold that it will aggravate his condition.
"Zhiyan, come up with Rourou!" Li Qingling yelled, and when Liu Zhiyan and Liu Zhiyan came up, she quickly covered them with a quilt.
It took them three hours to walk to the town yesterday, taking a bullock cart, which was half the time. When they arrived at Jishitang, Liu Zhimo jumped out of the bullock cart and went to call the door.
"Here we come..." A moment later, a voice came from inside, and the door opened. It was the drug boy I saw today, "Mr. Li?"
"Brother, may I ask if Dr. Xu is there? My sister has a fever."
Liu Zhimo knew that only Dr. Xu lived in the pharmacy, and the other sitting doctors lived at home.
"Doctor Xu hasn't come back yet." Yaotong looked at the little girl with burning eyes and flushed face, knowing that the patient must not delay, "Why don't you go to Baicao Hall and ask?"
Liu Zhimo looked back at his sister, and if he delayed any longer, he was afraid that his sister would turn into a fool.
After thanking Yaotong, he jumped into the bullock cart and went to Baicaotang. The attitude of Baicaotang was not as good as that of Jishitang.
After calling for a long time, someone came to open the door slowly. Seeing the clothes of Liu Zhimo and the others, he asked impatiently what's the matter
If it wasn't for asking for help from others, Li Qingling couldn't bear it long ago and kicked him over. What kind of attitude is this.
"Excuse me, is the doctor there? My sister has a fever." Liu Zhimo also held back his anger and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, but the consultation fee at night is not cheap. Do you have any money?"
Li Qingling gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, you won't lose even a copper coin. Hurry up and ask the doctor to come out!"
Yaotong glared at Li Qingling, snorted coldly, and then walked in slowly to call for someone.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, an obese doctor came out, looked at Li Qingling and the others, and asked disdainfully, "Where's the patient?"
Liu Zhimo walked forward silently holding Liu Zhirou who was burning like a small stove. The fat man stretched out his hand to check his pulse, then picked up the brush and wrote the medicine list for the boy, and asked him to pick up the medicine and fry it.
Immediately, he sat on the chair like an old man, and said bluntly, "Two taels of silver for the consultation."
This fat lion opened his mouth...
Li Qingling clenched her fists tightly, looked at Liu Zhirou who was moaning in pain, she closed her eyes and let out a breath quietly, she endured it.
"I only have half a tael of silver with me, and the remaining one and a half taels of silver will be brought to you later." She took out half a tael of silver and put it on the table.
The fat man picked up the half taels of silver and tossed it a few times, and looked at Li Qingling and the others with even more disdain.
"Whenever you bring the silver, you can drink it."
The deception was too much, Li Qingling almost rushed forward, but Liu Zhimo grabbed his hand, he put Liu Zhirou in her arms with a sullen face, "I'll come as soon as I go."
Here he only knew people from Jishitang, so he went to ask if he could borrow some money.
When he turned around and was about to go out, shopkeeper Zhou and the drug boy came in, "A pair of ordinary wind-cold medicine costs two taels of silver, fat man Huang, have you lost your money?" Silver, and took the half of the taels back to Li Qingling, "Where's the medicine?"
Fatty Huang snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the medicine boy came out with a bowl of medicine.
Liu Zhimo carefully coaxed Liu Zhirou to drink it. When the fat man saw him, he said, "I drank the medicine too, so get out of here."
Shopkeeper Zhou was not as he wished, so he lifted his robe and sat down directly, "I paid such an expensive consultation fee, of course I have to wait for the fever to subside before going back, if the fever doesn't subside and I go out again, don't you accept it? ?”
He has always been displeased with Baicaotang's style of work, so if he had this opportunity, of course he would stay to deal with Fatty Huang.
