After finishing the meal, Xu Yue took the twins and sent the three of the Ma family to the post house. "Your young master's house is already being cleaned up. I'll do the hard work tonight. You guys will stay in the post house for one night. I'll send someone to do it tomorrow."
Come to pick you up."
Ma Jun burped, waved his hands with a flattering smile, and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard."
If living in Xu Jiajun's post house was considered hard work, then his home in Xiliang was worse than a pigsty.
"Northeast, Pingyuan, say goodbye to my brothers and sisters." Xu Yue bent down and reminded the two reluctant little nephews with a smile.
Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan knew that their aunt could no longer let them play in the post house, so they had no choice but to wave goodbye to the Ma family siblings.
"We will pick you up tomorrow!" the brother and sister said to Ma Yu in unison.
After saying that, he did not forget the little brother Ma Zhang and waved to him, "We will show you the slingshot tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go."
Xu Yue nodded to Ma Jun, held one by one hand, and left the post house.
Ma Jun and the other three stood in front of the post house and watched Xu Yue leave. They didn't look back with nostalgia until everyone was gone.
Of course, what they missed was when Chief Xu would treat him to another meal.
"By the way, you still have to take medicine!"
Ma Jun touched his arms. Fortunately, the medicine given by the female doctor at the city gate was still there. He almost forgot about it.
As soon as they heard that they needed to take medicine, Ma Yu and his brother were a little resistant.
Ma Jun didn't care about this. How could he, a rough man, put so much thought into coaxing his children? He quickly took the medicine and killed the bugs before he could go back and talk to the master.
So, after the three of them returned to the guest room, Ma Jun specifically asked the waiter for a pot of hot water, imitating Zhao Wenming's behavior along the way, tossing the two bowls back and forth to cool the water.
"This Xu Jiajun's rules are really troublesome. When you want to drink water, you have to eat the boiled food. If it's not boiled, you still don't eat it. After finally boiling it, you have to let it cool down. This is not taking off your pants and farting...
....”
Ma Jun muttered and complained.
Ma Zhang corrected him seriously: "Second uncle, Brother Wenming said that drinking boiled water is for good health. The boiling water can kill the invisible bugs in the water, so that people will not get sick easily after drinking it.
"
Ma Jun handed the bowl to Ma Zhang, "Did you see it? Are there any bugs in here?"
Ma Zhang's little eyebrows furrowed and he retorted angrily: "Second uncle, you are making trouble unreasonably!"
Ma Yu gave his younger brother a hand, "Second uncle is uneducated and refuses to learn, let's ignore him~"
Ma Zhang nodded heavily "Yes".
Ma Jun: "Hey! My temper..."
However, after all, they were just clan uncles. Even if they were elders, they were not relatives after all, so he did not dare to do anything to the two younger ones.
"Okay, the water is no longer hot. You two have taken the medicine. Let's go to bed early. There are many things to do tomorrow morning. I have to watch you settle down with my own eyes before I can go back to the main bus."
Ma Yu and his brother looked at each other and obediently took the warm water that had been left to cool down.
Ma Jun opened the medicine bag. Inside were four spiral-patterned beige medicine pills, each one as big as a chestnut. "How do you eat these?"
Ma Yu and Ma Zhang were also dumbfounded, they didn't know either.
"No, you can't take medicine indiscriminately. You guys stay here and I'll go find the waiter and ask."
The siblings waited obediently.
Ma Jun came back soon and said with a smile: "The waiter said that you should chew this medicine and take it without water, so I prepared it in vain."
"He also said..."
The two siblings listened attentively, but Ma Jun deliberately paused and did not say any more, intending to give the two little ones a small surprise.
This was really the first time he had seen sweet medicine.
The doctor from Xu Jiajun was also very smart. He knew that children don't like bitter medicine, so he actually made the medicine sweet.
Ma Yu and Ma Zhang had no idea that the anti-worming medicine was sweet. When their uncle told them to chew it and not drink water, their faces suddenly fell.
Ma Jun was so coaxed that the two of them closed their eyes, pinched their noses and stuffed the pills into their mouths.
"Ah!" Ma Zhang exclaimed excitedly: "It's candy!"
"Sister, it's sugar, sweet!"
Ma Yu had already felt it. The two siblings opened their eyes and looked at each other in surprise. They took two pills of anti-insect medicine and shouted that they would take more.
Ma Jun glared at the two of them, "This is medicine. How can I take more of it? Just wash up and go to bed to rest."
After that, he put the two young masters to bed and rested, while he slept on the paved wooden floor.
The post house also left a room for him, but how could Ma Jun go back to sleep alone with peace of mind?
After all, this is Xu Jiajun's territory. Even though Xu Yue has shown so much goodwill, Ma Jun still can't really trust him.
Besides, sleeping on this floor is quite comfortable. It's hot and it's cooler to lie on the floor.
Before going to bed, Ma Jun planned to exchange some Xu family coins newly issued by Xu Jiajun tomorrow to buy himself and the two young masters a pair of short-sleeved clothes worn by ordinary people on the streets.
Otherwise, he would have to be heated to death!
However, the climate here in Bingzhou is quite comfortable, unlike in Xiliang where the heat will make you go crazy at noon and the cold will make you shiver in the morning and evening.
No wonder, no wonder everyone wants to take over the Central Plains...
Ma Jun fell asleep in a daze when he suddenly heard movement near the door. His body's instinctive sense of crisis made him open his eyes.
He first looked over to the bed and was shocked when he saw that the mattress was flat!
"...Second uncle!"
The two siblings by the door called him in horror. They were startled by Ma Jun's sudden sitting up, and their voices were trembling a little.
When Ma Jun heard the voices of the two siblings, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
The siblings both held their stomachs and said, "My stomach hurts."
But I was afraid of disturbing his sleep, so I quietly prepared to go out to find a hut.
Because the inn has clean public toilets, if the guest does not explicitly request it, the guest room will not be equipped with chamber pots, toilets, etc.
Ma Jun quickly got up and asked them to stay in the room. He quickly ran downstairs to find the night watchman and asked for two toilets.
The two siblings obviously couldn't hold it in anymore. As soon as the toilet arrived, they immediately stood aside and hid behind the screen and groaned.
Ma Jun held his breath, opened the window to diffuse the smell, and hid outside the door. He regretted not bringing a maid to Ma Yu before setting off.
That way he could lead the two young masters to the public toilet instead of smelling it.
Fortunately, the two young masters of their family are not as squeamish as those young ladies and gentlemen from rich families, and they have never complained once during this journey.
Thinking of this, Ma Jun suddenly felt that the smell was not so offensive.
The two siblings hummed for a while, then opened the door with weird looks on their faces and handed the toilet to Ma Jun.
Ma Jun glanced inside suspiciously.
A few fat white bugs shaped like noodles fell into the toilet, mixed with the indescribable excrement, and the picture was simply not too beautiful.
Ma Jun glared bitterly at the innocent pair of siblings in front of him, whose eyes were full of curiosity about bugs and who enthusiastically shared with him.
It's impossible to hide the look in someone's eyes that wants to stab someone.
