Chapter 18
Cheng Xue opened her eyes early the next morning, feeling dizzy and her eyes ached.

It used to be okay to stay up two nights, but now it's uncomfortable to stay up half the night.

Li Heng, who saw the kang getting dressed, yawned and said:
"Yesterday your father stayed up late to keep accounts, so be gentle when you go to the next door. If your father falls asleep, don't call him, and go out for a walk."

"Well, fine." Li Heng said while tucking the quilt for his younger brother.

Cheng Xue could see clearly that the little guy's eyes showed a little distress just now, as expected, it is very effective for the parents to show weakness occasionally, and they will continue to strengthen it in the future.

She simply didn't lie down anymore, put on her clothes and went to the outhouse, and lit a fire to boil medicine.

The person next door has to take medicine whether he is awake or not.Not only antipyretic, but also anti-inflammatory and analgesic.

The voices of the father and son came from the courtyard, the son asked the father to go back to rest, and the father told the son not to meddle in other business affairs.

Listening to the conversation between the two, the corners of Cheng Xue's mouth rose.

In the past, Li Heng would not be so close to his father.If you have something to say, if you have nothing to do, you would rather squat aside and be bored than go to him.

After the medicine was boiled and taken to the next door, the man had already woken up.

"How is it? Does the wound hurt? Is there any other discomfort?"

Xiao Qinglin shook his head and said "no", took the medicine bowl, and took a sip.

While drinking the medicine, she took the opportunity to look at Cheng Xue. A very ordinary village woman really couldn't associate her with the master who sewed her belly.But Li Hui didn't need to lie to him, as expected, people should not be judged by appearances.

After drinking the medicine, he asked curiously:

"How did my sister-in-law think of suturing the wound with a needle and thread? Is the thread always there? Won't it be removed?"

Cheng Xuehan smiled and shrugged, deliberately thinking for a moment and replied:

"It has to be removed. The stomach is different from the cotton trousers, and the flesh can grow by itself. Don't blame us. At that time, your breathing was too weak, and it was not easy to send you to the town. You can only be rescued at home. Fortunately, your life is not good. It should be done, but fortunately I made a mistake.”

Xiao Qinglin tried his best to maintain his demeanor, but the twitching corners of his mouth still revealed his astonishment.

Dare to feel that she sewed his belly up as cotton trousers, this is too cruel!
Adjust your mentality, pretend to be magnanimous, and say:
"It doesn't matter if it's my life, or my sister-in-law's mistake. It's a fact that I was saved by my sister-in-law. I, Xiao Qinglin, will never forget this kindness."

As he spoke, he took out a bank note from under the pillow and handed it over.

Cheng Xue hurriedly shook her head, stepped back a few steps and said:
"No, no, we are guilty of using more than a dozen taels of broken silver. We dare not take this banknote. You go to sleep, and I will cook porridge for you. The chicken porridge I cook is delicious. Your injury is better than anything else." , You don’t need to pay back, you don’t need to.”

After finishing speaking, she took the bowl and left quickly, as if someone was chasing her.When he walked to the door, he knocked down the door frame, satisfied with the chuckle behind him, and then quickly left the room.

500 taels was so frightening. Sure enough, the peasants were timid.

That being the case, when the second uncle takes over the forest farm, gives her man another job, and helps them raise their status in the village, he should be able to repay the grace of saving his life.

It's a pity that he planned well, but the hero is useless.

A few years later, Xiao Qinglin realized that naively judging a person has to pay a price...

……

After Cheng Xue returned to the house, she took out her housekeeping skills to make breakfast.

The last time I was so meticulous, I was still taking care of my grandfather.This time, I was taking care of Liang Yan, Little Antique.

Although he didn't say a few words before and after, the identity of this person is by no means simple.

Those who came from the capital only carried more than ten liang of broken silver with them, not counting the two bank notes.

Such a giant crocodile wants to repay his favor with a silver ticket?It's a fantasy!
Of course, she won't ask for this or that, but it's just a good fate, and she keeps it for a rainy day.

Minced cooked chicken breast.Smash ginger and garlic with a garlic mortar, filter out the juice, and throw away the dregs.

Pour oil and stir-fry, add water, then pour in the rice soaked overnight, and simmer slowly over low heat.

After boiling, the aroma is overflowing and very attractive.

Li Yue came out of the house, rubbed her eyes and said:
"Mother, why did you get up so early? Have you taken your medicine?"

"I woke up when I couldn't sleep." She looked up and saw that her eyes were swollen like peaches, and said, "Wet the veil with cold water and apply it to the eyes, it can reduce the swelling."

"fine."

After venting yesterday, I feel much more comfortable.Her mother also assured her that she would not neglect her again.

Simply because Li Yue is still in the stage of longing for maternal love, as long as she pays more attention to her in the future, the relationship can be completely repaired.

"Tangtang, mother hasn't taken the medicine yet, why don't you make medicine for mother while applying eye contact?"

"Row."

She liked the feeling of being assigned a job.

In this way, she feels that she is indispensable and needed in this family and will not be "sent away".

After the chicken porridge was ready, Li Hui and his son came back from exercising.

Obviously later than yesterday, it should have something to do with not going to work in the forest farm.

Take out two bowls, take an egg, and two steamed buns.

After Li Hui finished washing and entered the room, Cheng Xue pointed to something and said:
"Take it to the next door to eat with him. He can't eat the eggs because of hair. There is not enough porridge, so I boiled a pot. At noon, I use chicken racks to hang soup to cook noodles."

"Mother, have you been eating like this for the past two days?" Li Heng jumped over, a little excited.

Li Hui patted his forehead, and the little guy grinned innocently, "Hehe..."

"Father, can I eat with you and that brother?"

"Uncle." Li Hui corrected the address.

Xiao Qinglin is 19 this year, and it seems that he has no problem calling him brother.But Li Hui was already aggrieved by being a father to several children, and he really couldn't bear to be an uncle to a 19-year-old boy.

Cheng Xue also didn't want to be called "Auntie" by the 19-year-old guy, so she stood by Li Hui and said:

"Tie Dan has to be called Uncle, and you can't be inferior in seniority. Help your father with something, and your mother will serve you another bowl. If it's not enough to come back to serve, you take good care of your father and Uncle Xiao."

"Okay, mother, don't worry."

Li Heng, who was so free, was much happier than the previous two days.

Li Hui looked at Cheng Xue whose eyes were red, and whispered:
"I've worked hard on you for the past few days, and I'll take you to my uncle's house to relax when I'm done, and stay a few more days."

"Go quickly, send Iron Egg back if you need anything."

Li Hui went out with a "hmm", and heard Li Heng chattering there before entering the room.

I just said that the chicken porridge is delicious, and immediately changed the subject to say that the dog at home is very fierce.

Li Hui saw Xiao Qinglin's stiff face clearly, and hurriedly cleared his throat and interrupted:
"Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep, have you forgotten the rules?"

"No, I was afraid that Uncle Xiao would be bored, so I told him about our local customs." Li Heng defended himself, "Besides, I didn't eat, so I fed Uncle Xiao! Dad, my mother's porridge is Lao Xiang. Come on, try it now."

Li Hui stepped forward to take the bowl in his hand, and urged:
"You go to eat. After eating, write down the big characters left behind. Don't go out crazy for the next two days. It's not convenient at home."

"Oh, I know."

Li Heng rushed to the table listlessly, smelling the delicious chicken porridge, and immediately laughed so hard that his teeth couldn't see.

Such a heartless appearance not only made Li Hui laugh, but also Xiao Qinglin.

It's a pity that he has an injury in his abdomen, so laughing like this is a bit exhausting...
