Chapter 157 Sweet Tofu Pudding

Smile bitterly.

You are not that old, but you say you are not a child anymore. It is obvious that you are still just a child.

After all, he is an orphan child. He has suffered so much and endured so much pain that he has long regarded himself as an adult, earning money to support his family and dealing with people. He has long forgotten that he is still a child.

Zhuang Yonghe was pleased with Zhuang Qingning's ability, but also felt distressed about her current situation.

Zhuang Qingning stayed by Wen's side until the rooster outside crowed twice.

Zhuang Qingning couldn't help but yawn loudly and rubbed his eyes which were a little sore and dry from staying up late.

Zhuang Qingsui was also awakened from his sleep. Without even bothering to put on his shoes, he ran from the room to Zhuang Qingning and said, "Sister, it's almost dawn, why didn't you call me? You must be exhausted after staying up all night."

As he spoke, Zhuang Qingsui poured a glass of water for Zhuang Qingning, handed it to her, and then looked at the bed: "How is Aunt Wen?"

"The high fever has subsided, and it has not been feverish until now. It should be much better. Uncle Yonghe went to look for a doctor last night but couldn't find one. Wait until dawn, call Auntie to get up, and then go see a doctor."

Zhuang Qingning said, "I guess it's because of what happened yesterday. Aunt Wen was upset and she was thinking too much, so she had a high fever. Logically, she should just rest more, but Aunt Wen is old after all, so we still have to go see her, so that we can feel more at ease."

"Yeah." Zhuang Qingsui nodded: "Then sister, you should go to sleep for a while, I will keep an eye on it. If there is anything, I will call you."

Since Mrs. Wen's fever had subsided, it seemed that nothing serious was going to happen. Zhuang Qingning was also very tired at the moment, so he agreed and went to that room to take a nap for a while.

After instructing Zhuang Qingsui to pay attention to whether Mrs. Wen had a fever, Zhuang Qingning went to that room and lay down with his clothes on.

Perhaps because he was too tired, Zhuang Qingning fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay there and closed his eyes.

Zhuang Qingsui sat aside and prepared warm water as Zhuang Qingning had said, while also paying attention to whether Mrs. Wen had a fever.

Zhuang Mingliang entered the main room, holding two bowls in his hands. Seeing that only Zhuang Qingsui was looking after Wen, he lowered his voice and asked, "Sister Ning is going to rest?"

"Yes." Zhuang Qingsui said, "Sister is tired after a night of sleep, I'll let her go to sleep for a while, and I'll take care of Aunt Wen."

"Sister Ning must be exhausted. I came two or three times last night, saying that I would take her place for a while, but Sister Ning refused to do anything. I had no choice but to listen to her and go back to the tofu shop to get busy."

Zhuang Mingliang placed the bowl on the table. "I added some sugar to this tofu pudding, so it's barely edible. You must be hungry after working all night. Eat it quickly. I have another bowl in the kitchen, waiting for Aunt Wen to wake up."

"Since Sister Ning has gone to bed now, I will put her bowl of tofu on the stove in the tofu shop to warm it up. She can eat it when she wakes up."

"Okay, thank you Brother Mingliang." Zhuang Qingsui was indeed very hungry at this moment, so he picked up the bowl and started drinking the tofu pudding.

Different from the tofu pudding made from tender tofu with marinade, the tofu pudding here is actually just freshly made tofu pudding with some white sugar added to make it sweet.

The fragrance of tofu pudding, the mellowness of the soy sauce, and the slight sweetness of white sugar make it taste unique.

Zhuang Qingsui liked the taste and finished half a bowl in one go.

Seeing Zhuang Qingsui eating with relish, Zhuang Mingliang smiled and told her to call him anytime if she had any problems. Then he went to the tofu shop to continue his work. He also took Zhuang Qingning's bowl of tofu pudding to the stove to warm it for her so that she could drink it when she woke up.

The rooster crowed three times, and the eastern sky gradually turned a little pale. The sun climbed up from the horizon, spreading the morning light to the entire earth.

Every household started to get up, tidy up, clean the yard, and work in the fields.

Wen opened her eyes and subconsciously wanted to get up.

But because she had a high fever for half the night last night, even though the fever had subsided, she still felt severe aches all over her body, and even her head was swollen and painful. She couldn't help frowning in pain and could only lie down again for the time being.

"Aunt Wen, you're awake." Zhuang Qingsui was delighted to see Aunt Wen wake up. He stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, then touched his own: "Well, it's okay. It's not hot anymore."

"Aunt, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Wen felt uncomfortable all over at the moment, but when she saw Zhuang Qingsui's concerned eyes, she was speechless and could only say, "It's okay, I don't feel particularly uncomfortable, but I have no strength and I'm very thirsty."

"What's wrong with me? Why are you here? Where's Ning girl?"

"You had a high fever last night, and your whole body was burning. Luckily, your sister woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. She was worried about you, so she came to check on you. She quickly took the warm wine and wiped your body, and gave you a lot of water. In the second half of the night, the fever seemed to have subsided."

Zhuang Qingsui answered obediently, "Sister has been taking care of you by the bed all night, and she is very tired now. When I wake up, I will ask you to go and have a rest, and I will take care of you here for you."

"Uncle Yonghe originally went to ask for a doctor last night, but the doctor happened to be away last night, and your fever has subsided, so he said that we should go see the doctor this morning."

"My sister told me that if you wake up, you must drink more water. This water is still warm, so drink some quickly."

Zhuang Qingsui helped Wen to sit up, then brought some water and handed it to her mouth.

Wen was very thirsty. When she saw the water, she gulped down a glass of water. Zhuang Qingsui poured her another glass. Wen drank most of it before stopping.

"There's some tofu pudding warming up on the stove. Auntie, are you hungry now? Would you like to have a bowl?" Zhuang Qingsui raised his head and said, "I just had a bowl. It tasted great."

"Wait a moment, we'll talk later." Wen waved her hand: "I don't feel hungry at the moment, so don't bother."

She didn't feel hungry at the moment. She had just drunk two glasses of water and felt a little bloated. She had no appetite to eat.

As for Zhuang Qingning...

Mrs. Wen looked up into the room over there and saw Zhuang Qingning lying on the corner of her dress.

This girl must have been exhausted last night.

Wen's heart was filled with warmth, and she said to Zhuang Qingsui, "I feel much better now. There's no need to rush to see a doctor. Let's wait a while."

This will also allow Zhuang Qingning to sleep a little longer.

Do you eat sweet or salty tofu pudding?
