At noon the next day, Zhao Guoliang walked out without even eating, carrying a large basket on his back. Yuan Mengzhi frowned. Zhao Guoliang went out for nearly two hours yesterday, but he didn't even get half of the firewood in the basket.
According to Zhao Guoliang's temper, he probably won't go out to get firewood today, because there is already a pile of firewood at the door of their house, and there is actually no shortage of firewood this winter.
But Xiao Aiqin had a cough all night last night. He probably went to look for herbal medicine. It was freezing and snowy, and the mountain had already been sealed by heavy snow. Where could he go to get herbal medicine?
Could it be that he went to see Dr. Ye, but Dr. Ye lived in the village chief's house. Zhao Guoliang should not have the courage to go to the village chief's house, otherwise he would definitely be criticized.
No matter if they were criticized, they would flatter the cowherd as soon as they came. They thought they could make clothes and helped the cowherd make two sets of clothes, and their tails would be raised.
"Lao Zhu, why don't you bring back some firewood in a backpack? There isn't much firewood at home, and I don't even dare to take a bath."
"Why are you taking a bath? It's such a cold day, don't freeze yourself."
Zhu Qingde obviously didn't want to go out. The house was in good condition and there was a fire on the stove. He would be cold if he went out. He didn't have enough to eat. If he got cold again, he would be in trouble.
"Why are you so stupid? I want you to see where Zhao Guoliang is going. I always feel that he has done no good."
"Why are you so annoying? People are free to do whatever they want. Why do you care so much?"
"You...I knew I was in trouble and had no money, so you looked down on others. When will this life end? I don't want to live anymore."
Yuan Mengzhi's tears came as soon as she could. She knew that Zhu Qingde was most afraid of her crying. As expected, Zhu Qingde frowned and stood up:
"Hey... I'm going to go check out the head office."
Zhu Qingde could only carry a basket on his back. Since he had gone out, he should find something to bring back. He could not run away in vain. He followed Zhao Guoliang's footprints and walked out, but when he almost reached the foot of the mountain, he saw Zhao Guoliang walking back.
"Old Zhao, did you find anything today?"
"What else can I find? I just plowed the snow and picked up some dead branches. My wife is not in good health, and the kang must be hot, otherwise we will be in trouble when spring comes."
Zhu Qingde nodded. In the spring, they would go to open up wasteland, raise pigs and shovel pig manure. Taking advantage of this leisure moment, the most important thing was to take good care of themselves.
"Old Zhao, if you need help with anything, just ask, I...hey."
Zhu Qingde couldn't talk anymore. He knew that he had cough medicine in his house, and he proposed to send some to Zhao Guoliang and the others, but Yuan Mengzhi refused.
But think about it, this is the amount of medicine given to others. If I get cold, who can help them, so I can only listen to the coughing sound coming from the next door and cover it with two rags.
ears.
"Thank you, Lao Zhu. I understand everything. You don't have to take it to heart. My wife said that if you cough too much, you will stop coughing. Once your immunity is up, the disease will naturally get better."
Zhu Qingde nodded and walked toward the foot of the mountain. He also wanted to pull some firewood home.
Xiao Aiqin went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, and then poured it into a thermos bottle. This thermos bottle was brought by her son Xiaobao through Brother Niu's help. Thinking that she had used the thermos bottle, her son would have no use for it, and her heart ached.
Yuan Mengzhi saw Xiao Aiqin holding a hot water bottle in his hand and rolled his eyes secretly. He was quite capable and could get this.
Xiao Aiqin didn't even look at Yuan Mengzhi. She knew that someone was hostile to her, so if she got close to her, wouldn't she become a bitch? She didn't want to be abused in a hurry.
As soon as the door closed, Zhao Guoliang came back and went straight into the house with a basket on his back. Yuan Mengzhi frowned. Zhao Guoliang usually piled firewood at the door when he came back from collecting firewood and put the basket in the kitchen before entering the house.
She went directly into the house today, and it was possible that she would find something good, but she couldn't go directly to someone else's house to look around, otherwise she would really be in trouble.
He quickly entered the house, put his ear against the wall, and listened carefully to what was going on next door. The first thing he heard was Xiao Aiqin's voice: "I didn't pick up much firewood today."
Zhao Liguoshi put his finger in the middle of his mouth, pointed at the next door, and then pointed at the basket, signaling her not to speak. Xiao Aiqin's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up and looked towards the basket.
"Aegean, I just picked up a few dead branches today, so I just brought them in and burned them to save me the trouble of running in and out."
The dead branches were thrown into the kang hole, the fire suddenly started, and the temperature of the room increased a little, but Xiao Aiqin could not speak as she looked at the basket on her back.
Two dark blue cotton vests, only when I got them I realized they were not cotton at all, but down, a large package of walnut cakes, a large package of chicken cakes, and a large package of milk powder.
There was also a wooden box. When opened, there were several packets of medicinal powder and a bottle of medicine. The medicine was cough syrup. The medicine powder package said it was anti-inflammatory powder and antipyretic tablets.
Cheng Liguo has already picked up a pen and started writing in a notebook. The sentence is very brief. Cheng Liguo is here. Cheng Qiao is Cheng Liguo's daughter. The medicine, snacks, and clothes were given by Cheng Qiao.
Xiao Aiqin had never met Cheng Qiao. They had lost contact with Zhao Min since Zhao Min left, so Xiao Aiqin looked at Zhao Guoliang with questioning eyes, wondering if there was a mistake.
Zhao Guoliang smiled and continued to write a sentence on the paper. In fact, he, Zhao Hui and Zhao Guodong went to see Zhao Min. They went there specially when Zhao Min gave birth to Cheng Qiao.
Xiao Aiqin smiled. Sure enough, no matter what he did, he had to keep a straight line. If they were like Zhao Chen and ignored Zhao Min, Cheng Liguo would definitely not recognize them.
"Have you eaten? I'll cook you some porridge."
"No need, there isn't much food left, we have to eat wisely."
While Xiao Aiqin said she would eat it carefully, she took a piece of chicken cake and stuffed it into Zhao Guoliang's mouth, and took a piece herself. Zhao Guoliang smiled, took out the enamel teapot, scooped a few spoonfuls of milk powder, and dissolved it with boiling water.
The two of them were eating chicken cakes and drinking milk powder, and suddenly felt that their lives were getting better. Xiao Aiqin waited until she felt slightly full in her stomach, then picked up the anti-inflammatory powder and antipyretic tablets and ate them.
Yuan Mengzhi listened lonely against the wall, and when he saw Zhu Qingde returning empty-handed, he used some excuses to curse. Zhu Qingde was angry. He was already having a bad life, and he had to suffer innocently. Who could bear this?
But Zhu Qingde's heart was extremely deep. Even if he was unhappy, he didn't show it on his face. Now was the time when he was in trouble. When he turned over, he was ready to fly away. Anyway, he still hid a lot of money in his hometown.
That night, Xiao Aiqin's cough was reduced by half. Two days later, she felt much more relaxed. She didn't expect that the medicine Cheng Qiao gave her was so effective. She should keep this kindness deeply in her heart and repay it when she has the ability.
