While Meng Qingtang was running back to the cowshed quickly with the medicine and lunch box, Su Qishan was already delirious from the fever. He had some nightmare and kept waving his hands in the air as if trying to grab something.
Meng Qingtang quickly stepped forward, held his hand, and patted it soothingly. After the other party slowly calmed down, he quickly prepared the medicine and fed it to him.
After feeding him the medicine, he didn't dare to leave. He took the lunch box and went to the kitchen. He first took out the noodles to dry, and then started to make a fire to boil ginger water.
Lu Zhiqing said that drinking more water would help detoxify, so he planned to give it a try. His grandfather had eaten the porridge he brought in the evening, so he planned to save the noodles for tomorrow morning.
During this period, he went back to the room and looked twice. After feeling the fever was slowly subsiding, he began to think about Lu Wensheng's actions tonight.
Thinking about it carefully, everything is weird. Apart from other things, the fact that Ma Yingjie appeared at the door of Mr. Ge's house in the middle of the night is very suspicious...
And considering what Lu Wensheng said and the bottle of heart disease medicine, she might know something.
Thinking back to the last few times he came to his grandfather's place, he vaguely felt that someone was following him. If he was not mistaken, then this person was most likely Lu Wensheng, but why? Was she coming for him or for his grandfather?
"It's necessary to talk..."

Just as Lu Wensheng, Shen Lingling, and Lu Hao were about to fall asleep on the door frame, they finally heard the sound of the door next door opening and closing.
Lu Wensheng nudged Shen Lingling and Lu Hao beside him and said, "Han Muchen is back, hurry up and get up."
Ma Yingjie was sleeping soundly. He vaguely heard someone calling him. He quickly opened his eyes and wiped his saliva with his sleeve: "Huh? Where are you?"
Lu Wensheng said speechlessly: "At your house, go and call them back so we can have a midnight snack."
Lu Hao agreed and went to climb over the wall...
Shen Lingling looked at her watch: "It's already half past three, I'll go cook the noodles."
No matter what, she finally put her mind at ease.
Lu Wensheng also followed him to the kitchen: "I'll light the fire for you."
Not long after, Han Muchen followed Lu Hao in. The small kitchen suddenly became lively. Facing the firelight in the stove and the kerosene lamp on the table, Lu Wensheng saw Han Muchen's face full of smiles:
"Why did you come back so late?"
Han Muchen replied: "The road is not easy to walk on."
Then he took out a roll of money from his pocket and handed it to her: "This is the money from selling the wild boar, a total of ninety-six. I'll keep fifty, and you can take the rest as our food expenses."
Lu Wensheng was about to refuse when Han Muchen continued, "If you don't accept it, I will take Haohao and fire alone."
Ma Yingjie immediately looked at her with resentment: "Sister Lu, I don't want it..."
Lu Wensheng had no choice but to put the money away: "Okay, I'll keep it for now, and we can use some of it for household expenses when we sell things later."
The three of them nodded in unison: "Yeah, yeah."
Shen Lingling: "Go wash up first, dinner will be served soon."
Han Muchen: "Okay."
As he walked outside, he thought that it felt really good to be cared for and looked after. He thought that it was so late and everyone must have gone to bed, so he simply rode his bike back to the next door.
But when Ma Yingjie climbed over the wall and went back, he was really shocked: "What are you doing next door in the middle of the night?"
Ma Yingjie said innocently: "I'm waiting for you to come home. Come on and come back with me for dinner."
Without waiting for him to say anything, Ma Yingjie walked up to him and pulled his arm towards the wall.
"Brother Chen, I'll go up first. You hold me up from below. This wall is a bit high. I can't get up all at once. How about we just open a door in the wall..."
Han Muchen held up Ma Yingjie's butt and pushed him up while listening to him chattering non-stop.
Why is this person so talkative...
It was already past four o'clock after dinner, and the two of them climbed over the wall to catch up on their sleep. Lu Wensheng thought of her asking Shen Qingchen to come for breakfast! Now he wanted to slap himself twice...
"Lingling, are you sleepy?"
Shen Lingling shook her head: "I'm not sleepy, what's wrong?"
Lu Wensheng suggested: "Well, didn't I ask Chen Qingchen to come for breakfast last night? It's almost dawn now. If we sleep for a while, we will definitely not wake up. Why don't we send the things to Chen Qingchen and then come back to sleep?"
Shen Lingling thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'll go make two pancakes."
Lu Wensheng quickly stopped her and said, "No need. Just give him the small pot and put some noodles and pickles in it, and let him cook it himself."
Shen Lingling opened her eyes wide: "Wouldn't this be a bad idea?"
Lu Wensheng: "There's nothing wrong. I'll write him a note. You clean up first." After saying that, he ran into the house to write the note.
In just a few moments, Shen Lingling packed a backpack and a small bamboo basket. When Lu Wensheng came out, he saw a small pot and firewood in the backpack, and even two full pots of water on top. The other basket contained rolled noodles and green vegetables, as well as a plate of cold cucumbers and two eggs.
"Good fellow! You are so thoughtful..."
She originally thought that she would just give him a pot and a handful of noodles...
Lu Wensheng carried a backpack and Shen Lingling carried a basket, and the two of them went to the brigade headquarters, talking and laughing.
After waiting at the door of the reception room, he put his things down quietly, put the note inside, and went back to sleep.
Lu Wensheng: "I guess I'll sleep until noon..."
Shen Lingling: "That's about right. What do you want to eat for lunch tomorrow?"
Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's make some dumplings. I haven't eaten them for a long time."
Shen Lingling nodded: "Okay."
She seemed to have been inspired by something, and after returning home, she quickly wrote a note and posted it on the door of the main room:
"You two go to the commune to buy some meat. Shengsheng wants to eat dumplings!"
As for who it was written for, isn't it obvious? Anyway, those two can climb the wall...

5am
Shen Que woke up on time, opened his eyes and subconsciously touched the seat next to him, but no one was there.
Shen Que sighed in a condescending manner and started to put on his clothes.
Chen Que: Please call me Lao Que, thank you!
When he packed up and went out, he saw his uncle standing at the door, staring blankly with a piece of paper in his hand:
"Uncle, what are you looking at?"
Shen Qingchen calmly folded the paper and carefully put it in his shirt pocket and replied, “Nothing, let’s go boxing.”
Shen Que: “Oh…”
He knew he couldn't escape! He resigned himself to his fate and walked to the middle of the yard, got ready and started punching.
Shen Qingchen slowly took out the things in the backpack, still thinking about the contents on the paper:
"My sister did a big job last night. Come over later. I need to sleep. I'll treat you to a big meal at noon!"
Shen Qingchen looked at the things in the basket and raised the corners of his lips: “Okay, I’ll wait for your feast.”
