I don’t know how long it took, but Li Li took Ling Jiale home from kindergarten. Ling Chunhua woke up to her brother’s shouting.
"Mom, Jia Le, you are back."
Facing her daughter's overtures, Li Li didn't appreciate it at all, and stabbed Ling Chunhua with her eyes.
"I just know how to be lazy day by day. The sun has set and I still haven't cooked dinner!"
Ling Chunhua quickly stood up and walked to the kitchen. When she reached the kitchen door, she turned around and asked Li Li as if she had thought of something.
"Mom, what are you cooking for tonight?"
"Of course it's porridge, what else can I cook? All the money I have at home has been spent by you, a dead girl. I really don't know what the use is of giving birth to you. Besides eating and spending money, raising a dog is more useful than you!"
"
In the kitchen, Ling Chunhua's tears rolled down from her eyes like broken beads. She was not lazy, she was just too dizzy and accidentally fell asleep.
Although I felt aggrieved, the work at hand did not stop.
Scooping water, washing rice, lighting fires, his thin body reveals a calmness and diligence that belies his age.
Seeing that there would be no dinner for a while, Li Li took her son out for a visit.
As soon as Li Li went out for a while, Ling Jiang came back.
He usually doesn't finish work until after 9 o'clock in the evening, but today he came back early because he was mindful of his daughter Ling Chunhua's injury.
After Ling Jiang set up his bicycle, he went straight to the house where his daughter rested, "Chun Hua, Chun..."
Seeing that the bed was empty, Ling Jiang was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look for it in another room.
"Dad, you're back!"
As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw his daughter standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at him with surprise.
Even though the sky had darkened, Ling Jiang could still tell at a glance that something was wrong with his daughter.
The pointed little face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and the thin body was shaky, as if a gust of wind could blow it over.
Ling Jiang walked over quickly, his face full of worry and distress, "Chunhua, didn't I tell you to have a good rest in bed? Why did you get up?"
"I'm making dinner."
After hearing his daughter's words, Ling Jiang subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his daughter's head, but as soon as he touched his forehead, he found that his palm was hot.
"Chunhua, do you have a fever?"
Ling Chunhua blinked in confusion. No wonder she felt dizzy. It turned out to be a fever.
"Let's go see the doctor!"
After saying that, Ling Jiang picked up his daughter and went straight to the health center at the entrance of the alley.
There was no one at this health clinic, and the doctor was having dinner. Ling Jiang put his daughter on the bench and said to the doctor anxiously: "Doctor, my daughter has a fever. Please take a look."
The doctor did his duty and immediately put down the rice bowl in his hand and stood up to examine Ling Chunhua.
"It's 39 and a half degrees, and the fever is not light. Why did it come here now? If the temperature had been higher, I would have turned into a fool!"
Hearing the doctor's words, Ling Jiang's mouth wrinkled in anxiety, "I just came home and I found her and brought her over immediately. Doctor, please treat her."
The doctor didn't say anything more. He took out alcohol and wiped Ling Chunhua's forehead, neck, chest, armpits, palms and other parts. While doing emergency cooling, he asked Ling Chunhua what he had eaten during the day.
Perhaps because of her fever, Ling Chunhua responded slowly and whispered: "Cookba."
"anything else?"
Ling Chunhua shook her head.
The doctor was a little surprised, "Have you not eaten or eaten?"
Ling Chunhua nodded lightly. Because of her illness, her eyes, which were originally like black glass beads, were a little dim, and there was a bit of uneasiness and fear in them.
It turns out that eating crispy rice will cause a fever. If she had known it, she would not be greedy anymore. Her mother was right to scold her because she wanted to make her father spend money again.
Thinking about it, big tears rolled down from my eyes.
Ling Jiang didn't know that his daughter was crying because of fear and self-blame. He thought she was aggrieved because she didn't have enough to eat. At the same time, he was filled with anger towards his daughter-in-law.
It’s okay to ignore my daughter when I’m usually partial to my son, but my daughter is injured and can’t even eat. It’s really too much!
"You parents, you are too negligent in taking care of your children. Just eat some rice crackers when you are growing up. It is not nutritious. No wonder they are stunted..."
While condemning, the doctor took off the gauze on Ling Chunhua's head and planned to check the wound.
The gauze was only halfway untied when you could see bright red blood oozing out. As the gauze became thinner and thinner, there were more and more blood stains until the gauze was completely untied. Looking at the bleeding wound, the doctor couldn't help but
Got angry.
"What's going on? Didn't you tell me to lie down and rest? Look, the wounds are torn. The fever is caused by inflammation of the wounds."
Ling Jiang knew he was in the wrong and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, doctor, it's all my fault. I'm sorry to trouble you."
The doctor used alcohol and cotton to clean the wound, stopped the bleeding, and rewrapped it with clean gauze. "Now, in this case, it needs to be soaked with water. Medication is slow to take effect."
"Okay, just hang the water."
Ling Jiang's cooperative attitude made the doctor feel better. He pointed to the screen behind him, "Go ahead and lie down while I prepare the medicine."
"Hey, doctor, I'm sorry to bother you."

After getting off the tram, Yun Mo subconsciously looked around the platform. She didn't see any familiar figure, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
According to predictions, Lingchuan should arrive in Jiangshi at noon. Was there any delay on the way?
When she got home, she found no sign of the man returning home. Yun Mo's mood was as empty and silent as the huge courtyard house.
"Quack!"
As if sensing her frustration, Dabai Erbai ran up to her and rubbed his slender neck affectionately against her bare feet.
Master, you are back!
Yun Mo bent down and touched the heads of the two guys, then went to the cabin.
Seeing that there was another goose egg in the straw nest, my mood immediately improved a lot.
There are nine eggs in total!
In order to reward Erbai, Yunmo specially added some more shrimps and small fish larvae when mixing the goose food.
"Quack!"
Dabai and Erbai ate very happily. While eating, they raised their necks and called to Yunmo.
Thank you, Master! You are the most beautiful!
Eating alone, Yun Mo was too lazy to cook, so she fried an egg, cut some sauerkraut and cooked a bowl of egg noodles in sour soup.
After eating, Yunmo took a bucket of well water, added a few drops of spiritual spring water to it, and then used a ladle to water the flowers and plants in the yard.
Lingchuan usually does the watering. She drops a few drops of spiritual spring water into the soil every once in a while. After a period of time, the flowers and plants in the courtyard grow very well.
Not only are the branches luxuriant, but the flowers are also big, nice and fragrant.
It's just that the yard is a bit small, otherwise it would be good to open up some land and grow vegetables for eating.
Thinking of this, Yun Mo suddenly remembered something, threw down the water ladle and went to find the measuring tape Lingchuan bought when renovating the warehouse.
After some measurements, Yunmo was surprised to find that the area of the portable space had really increased.
