After a while, Xue Xin was pulled to soak in hot water.
"It's a bit hot!" Xue Xin was so frightened that she shrank her feet back.
Seeing this, Chen Xinzhi stood up in a hurry: "I'll go find some cold water to drink it."
"Goodbye." Xue Zhilan smiled lovingly and explained: "It needs to be warmed up to soak up the bruises."
Xue Ling calmly ordered her daughter: "Quick! Put the pig's trotters down, test the temperature first, and slowly adapt to the soaking."
Xiaoxin did not dare to object. She stretched her white and slender feet, but still did not dare to enter the water.
Xue Zhilan poured some white wine into the basin and coaxed: "Come on, just soak it for about five minutes."
Xiaoxin had no choice but to move closer, "Hiss..." and whispered in pain.
When Chen Xinzhi saw her little face wrinkled up, his heart throbbed, so he leaned down and blew on it.
"Is it better? Still very hot?"
Xue Zhilan put his hand down and shook his head: "Just right."
Chen Xinzhi looked at the cute little feet and couldn't help but said: "Our hands are thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter if they are hot. Xiaoxin's skin is thin and her flesh is tender, how can she withstand such hot water."
Xue Zhilan smiled helplessly and shouted: "Yangyang, bring the water from the thermostat outside!"
"Hey!" Xue Yang quickly brought the kettle over.
Xue Zhilan mixed some warm water.
Xiaoxin finally dared to put her feet into the water and frowned slightly: "The wine smells a bit..."
"These will help your swollen feet." Xue Ling glanced at her and said, "You have to be brave enough not to hurt yourself."
Xiaoxin remained silent, not daring to speak again.
Xue Yang suppressed a laugh: "Look at you! It's all swollen into pig's trotters!"
Xiaoxin pouted and glared at him, muttering: "You have to carry me to the living room for dinner these two days!"
"What a beautiful idea!" Xue Yang ran away in a flash, "I only carry my girlfriend! You have your iron-headed brother!"
Chen Xinzhi smiled helplessly.
Xiaoxin hummed: "It's too much! There is no humanity in people of the opposite sex!"
Xue Zhilan laughed, picked up her little foot and poked the slightly swollen area.
"It hurts!" Xiaoxin wailed.
Chen Xinzhi frowned, stood up and hugged her, coaxing distressedly: "Be patient, you'll be fine soon."
Xue Zhilan said: "Yes, just bear with it. Just adjust the sprained meridian to its original position and try not to move around. You will be fine tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Ahhh!" Xiaoxin cried out in pain.
Chen Xinzhi was extremely nervous. He hugged her to his chest and kept coaxing her warmly: "It's going to be better, it's going to be better."
Xue Ling: "..."
So, she couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and walked out.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw my husband Cheng Tianyuan walking quickly with worry on his face.
"Daughter-in-law, I heard that Xiaoxin sprained her foot——"
"It's okay!" Xue Ling interrupted him, took his hand and walked forward: "Uncle Zhilan, rub it for her, she will be fine tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned when he heard his daughter's cry of pain.
"It seems serious? No, I have to go in and take a look."
Xue Ling pulled him and whispered: "What are you doing in there? Tietou is holding her and coaxing her!"
Forehead?!!
Cheng Tianyuan stopped and coughed slightly in embarrassment.
"Um...it's fine. There's some porridge in the big kitchen for supper, and Xiao Huzi and the others went over to eat it. Do you want to eat it?"
Xue Ling shook his head: "No, I'm a little sleepy. I'll go back to the room to sleep first."
"Go." Cheng Tianyuan did not forget to remind: "Xiao Chong is very sleepy and has already taken a bath and fallen asleep. He said that he can only call him if he doesn't get up for lunch tomorrow."
Xue Ling laughed and scolded: "You bastard!", then yawned and left.
Cheng Tianyuan looked uneasily into his daughter's room, paced back and forth a few times, straightened his back and stepped forward gently, stretched out his head and took a sneak peek.
I saw Xue Zhilan squatting on the stall, applying medicine to her daughter's feet, telling her not to do this or that.
The daughter wrinkled her cute and beautiful face and nestled in Chen Xinzhi's arms.
Chen Xinyi patted his daughter's head with one hand while carefully remembering "things to pay attention to".
Cheng Tianyuan looked at their close presence and was so embarrassed that he immediately turned his head and left quickly with long strides.
…
Early the next morning, Zhu Achun came, holding a large thermos flask.
"I heard that Xiaoxin sprained her foot, and I was so worried that I stayed up all night. How is she doing now? Has the swelling gone? I made bone soup to replenish her."
Several old people hurriedly invited her to sit down in the living room.
"It's okay, it's just a minor sprain."
"If you don't run around, you can recover tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Ah Chun, you made soup early in the morning? What time did you get up?"
Zhu Achun breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "I couldn't sleep, so I got up at three or four o'clock to stay up. As long as it's okay, it's easy to slip when it rains or snows, so don't let your carelessness lead to the disease."
Mother Xue shook her head: "I'm still asleep with the plaster on! It's so cold at night, you have to take care of yourself. Small injuries and pains for young people are nothing at all."
"I can't bear to let it go." Zhu Achun said with a smile: "I am an old man, and I am not afraid of freezing at all. Xiaoxin has a small skin and tender flesh, how can I let her bump into it, ten thousand people will not be able to let it go."
Everyone laughed.
Father Xue was a little worried about Zheng Duoduo and couldn't help but ask: "Are you too busy recently? I haven't seen him come for a few days!"
Zhu Achun explained: "For a while, I have only been home late at night. I said I was working on a new spring series of products, so I worked overtime every day. That kid has always been strict and conscientious, and he had to pass every step by himself, so that all his subordinates had to follow him.
Working overtime makes everyone very tired."
"When will he be free?" Xue's father whispered: "Let him come and have a meal with us and chat with me."
Zhu Achun smiled and said: "I heard that there is a celebration banquet this weekend, and he should be free after that. Don't worry, he will come to you as soon as he is free. He misses the shrimp dumplings and steamed buns made in the big kitchen here.
Bao, I’ve said it several times.”
"Haha!" Father Xue said: "When he comes, let him eat as much as he can!"
Zhu Achun's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled gently.
"Old lady, old gentleman, is she here? I have something to ask her."
"Here she is!" Dad Xue stood up and said, "I'm going to call her. She seemed to be over there in the study just now."
Zhu Achun quickly stood up, "No, you sit down. I'll just go find my wife."
Dad Xue reminded: "Okay! Just walk over by yourself and remember to turn to the left."
After a while, Zhu Achun found Xue Ling reading in the study.
"Madam, I...I have something to ask you."
Xue Ling smiled and said: "Okay, you ask."
Zhu Achun smiled awkwardly and asked in a low voice: "Did you introduce a girl named Tong to be Duoduo's assistant? She's from the south?"
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded and explained: "She is from Rongcheng in the south. Her father's name is Tong Zi, an old friend of mine. That girl is very good. She will graduate from Imperial University's economics major next year and will spend her last year in
Internship at the group. I met her once and saw that she was very efficient at work and smart and capable, so I asked her to work with Duoduo as a little assistant to open her eyes and gain some knowledge."
