Having a child in two years is like fighting for your life. Once the body has passed its golden stage, it will go downhill step by step.
"Mom, please take good care of your health every year from now on. I will read the medical books again recently. When my mother is able to help people treat illnesses, I will read them to her."
She didn't know what she wanted to do before, but now she has found it. She wants to study medicine, become a medical girl, and nurse her mother back to health.
Seeing such a sensible eldest daughter, Cheng Xue nodded with a smile and said no more.
She drank the decoction again, and all five children in the family were in danger.
Especially Li Heng, he had seen his mother at her weakest.
He was waiting aside with the leftover maltose from last time. Seeing his mother finish drinking, he quickly stuffed the candy into her mouth and said:
"Mom is just disobedient. When I saw the doctor for the first time, the doctor told me that you should have a good rest."
"I took a rest. It's fine. I'm just recuperating my body. Don't make a fuss."
Li Heng pouted, and Li Tian on the side picked up the bronze mirror and placed it in front of Cheng Xue.
After looking in the mirror, Cheng Xue was speechless. Her face was indeed not that good, probably because she hadn't slept well recently.
Li Tian pulled his brother and seriously warned:
"Don't let me hug you again. Don't you know how heavy you are?"
"It's not heavy." Li Huai defended with his eyes wide open, and leaned against his mother and said, "It's not okay for you to hold a baby in your arms."
"Huanbao, you really know how to put gold on your face."
"It's a treasure, it's a treasure."
Li Tian is only two years older than Li Huai. She will definitely not feel comfortable when she sees her younger brother acting coquettishly and "occupying" her mother.
Cheng Xue looked at the little girl's appearance and reviewed her recent state. It seemed that... well... she seemed to have neglected her little daughter.
He reached out and hugged the two quarreling children into his arms, giving each of them a kiss.
"You are all my mother's treasures. My mother will take good care of your body and bring you up safely. Brothers and sisters should love each other and share weal and woe. Do you understand?"
For two little ones, it may be understandable to love each other, but it is difficult to share honor and disgrace. But Li Tian is very sensible and touches Li Huai's cheek. The little guy is also easy to coax, and his sister just smiles and instantly forgets what he just said.
Unpleasant.
Li Heng took out a purse from his arms and gave it to Cheng Xue, saying:
"Mom, this is the money I paid for selling ginseng in Fucheng. Mom took the medicine and drank it. Be sure to take good care of it."
After he finished giving it, Yan Yixin also gave her the purse.
"If my aunt wants Tiedan's, she must also want mine."
Last time they and Wen Tian went to the mountains to fish for crickets, and the ginseng they encountered was taken to Fucheng and bought for more than 20 taels of silver.
Cheng Xue looked at the things in her hands and saw the determination of the two children. She smiled, nodded and accepted them, saying:
"Okay, mom will take it, and aunt will take it. Thank you."
I wanted to exchange money for it, but I'm not in a hurry now. I'll wait for the autumn harvest to sell grain and provide for the children. They are so sensible and must be pampered.
Today is the end of the second game. Li Hui and Wang Sen will be back at noon. In the morning, my mother and I ate hastily and then started to prepare lunch.
Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, all are available.
Cheng Xue cut what was needed and prepared what needed to be prepared, then picked up a small horse and strolled to Gongyuan.
There are Li Yue and Yan Yixin at home, so she is not worried at all.
I arrived not late, but there were many people waiting. I found a shady place to sit down and listened to everyone’s talk, feeling somewhat emotional in my heart.
Just now, five more were carried out.
"Hey, have you heard that Tengfei Academy's goal this year is to have 35 people pass the exam?"
"I haven't heard of it, but this year Qichen Academy was not to be outdone and sent out many young children, including the third child."
"Oh, I think the two academies were fighting for the third child for a long time. If the three brothers were lucky enough to be pregnant together, the ancestral graves of Lao He's family would be filled with smoke."
"Not only that, the marriage of their three sisters is simply unthinkable."
"Hey, I heard that that girl is marrying the eldest son of Uncle Guo's family in Jingli?"
Cheng Xue, who didn't pay much attention at first, perked up instantly when she heard "the eldest son of the uncle's family".
Xiao Qinglin? How is that possible!
Can the Xiao family talk about getting married to Liaodong Prefecture? Ordinary people's home? It's not that they look down on ordinary people, but it's not in line with common sense. What's more, I didn't hear him mention it in the last letter, so don't use public opinion to force the marriage.
Keep listening carefully, who would have thought that an old man would end the topic with "It's only the second show, it's early" and directly change the topic.
Well, she was listening so enthusiastically that she suddenly changed her mind. She really has no martial ethics!
But this matter must be taken seriously. It is best to write a letter when you return home, so as not to be taken advantage of by someone with malicious intentions and ruin Xiao Qinglin's reputation.
At noon, with a muffled sound of "squeak...ah...", the gate of Gongyuan was awkwardly pushed open from the inside.
All the people waiting outside stood up, but after waiting for a cup of tea, no one came out.
Cheng Xue was anxious and wanted to go ahead to see the situation with her horse in hand, but the crowd was too tight and she couldn't squeeze in.
Seeing a staircase on the east side, I stood up and looked around regardless of the bright autumn sun.
Almost another five minutes passed, and finally one person came out, then two, then three... Some came out on their own, and there were also two who helped one, one helped the other, and some were carried out.
Cheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yazhe in front.
With him here, she doesn't have to worry.
The government officials who maintained order chanted "Don't crowd, make way" while forcibly separating the surrounding people by two meters in the middle.
If he ignored the warning and pushed hard, he was slapped. The officer didn't care about his face or body, he just pushed forward and hit him.
After beating up several civilians in succession, he finally became honest and did not dare to make any mistakes, and stood still in place.
There was a constant "chirping" noise. Some students couldn't bear it and covered their ears and walked away quickly. Some were so angry that they shouted "Stop making noise".
Unfortunately, it has no effect except that it consumes more energy.
Cheng Xue stood as the students were passing by and watched as Li Hui helped Wang Sen over, followed by Ya Zhe carrying Zhou Fei.
Judging from Zhou Fei's appearance, the third game designation is quite embarrassing. On Wang Sen's side... I can still participate if I work hard, but I don't know what the results will be.
Cheng Xue took Li Hui's things and hurried home. She asked Yan Yixin and Li Heng to go back to pick up the people, and then she entered Zhou's house.
Soon, Yazhe came in with someone on his back, and Zhou Fei was already unconscious.
Cheng Xue checked his pulse and inserted acupuncture again. When Zhou Fei's condition stabilized, he looked into Lian's eyes and couldn't tell the truth.
A young lady from a wealthy family cares first about her children and secondly about her husband's scientific examination.
Judging from Zhou Fei's current state, he will definitely not be able to get up for the third game tomorrow afternoon.
He stood up to dodge Lian's earnest gaze, walked to the round table, sat down, and said:
"Sister, come here, I'll take your pulse."
"Sister-in-law, my husband..."
Cheng Xue interrupted her and insisted:
"I see you don't look good. Come here and I'll check your pulse."
