When Lu Wensheng and Chen Cheng appeared in the kitchen at the same time, Shen Lingling was really scared. Why did the father and son suddenly get up so early today? It was unscientific.
You know, usually these two people are not seen until noon, especially the uncle, he may get up later than Shengsheng, and usually he will show up after Shengsheng finishes his long-distance run...
Shen Lingling even found a good excuse for him: It must be because the uncle is not used to the winter in Northeast China, so he stays in bed!
No, she was not used to getting up so early today, so she joked:
"Hey, the sun rises from the west today? Why did our sister Sheng get up so early today? The dinner is not ready yet!"
Shen Lingling is rolling noodles. She plans to make scallion oil noodles this morning.
Lu Wensheng came over to help mix the small cold dishes and replied: "Don't we have to go to the county today? I thought I'd get up early to avoid delays."
Seeing that the two of them were busy, Chen Cheng also sat down and lit the fire. In the pot was cooking sweet potato, millet and red date porridge, which Shen Lingling intended to bring to Lu Laoxianer.
Because when Grandpa Lu first came, Old Man Ge said that he had suffered a lot in recent years and was lacking in energy and blood, so he needed to replenish his energy.
So every morning Shen Lingling would cook a small pot of red dates and millet porridge for him to nourish his body, and over time it became a habit.
"Shengsheng, take the porridge to grandpa first. When you come back, it will be almost time for dinner."
While serving the porridge, Shen Lingling instructed Lu Wensheng who was roasting chestnuts nearby.
Lu Wensheng nodded, without saying anything, picked up the lunch box on the stove and walked out:
"Okay, I'll be back in a minute."
She took this opportunity to clear the meridians in grandpa's legs. He hadn't been there for several days, and grandpa's legs must be hurting again.
As she expected, Lu Laoxian'er's legs had been aching as if they were being pricked by needles since last night.
For fear of disturbing Lao Ge's sleep, I gritted my teeth and endured it, so he didn't notice it until morning.
Until now, Lu Laoxianer has not come down from the kang, and old man Ge next to him is giving him a hot compress with a hot water bottle.
After living together for a long time, Old Man Ge also got to know what kind of person he was. Although he had a fierce look, he was a very nice person. He was loyal and righteous, and not petty.
So he didn't hide what he wanted to say, and took out a pack of silver needles from the medicine box next to him, and said unhappily:
"Take this hot water bottle and I'll give you two injections to get rid of the cold.
I told you not to go out, not to go out, but you didn't listen. Now you're in trouble again, right? I shouldn't have cared about you..."
He talked a lot, but Old Immortal Lu didn't even say a word. There was nothing he could do, so he just had to accept whatever he said.
When Old Man Ge finished his chatter, Old Immortal Lu's legs were also pierced with silver needles. Seeing that he was done, she began to explain:
"I was just bored at home alone, so I thought I'd go and repair the road with you guys, chat and relieve my boredom. Who knew my legs would be so fragile?"
Lu Wensheng arrived at this time. She had been there for a long time. She heard the two people talking in the yard but was not in a hurry to go in.
The old man has indeed been a bit wild recently. He actually follows me out to hang out all day long. It’s okay for him to just repair the road, but he even goes up the mountain!
If Uncle Ge could keep him under control, it would save me a lot of worry.
"Grandpa, Uncle Ge! Are you two up?"
Uncle Ge was packing his small cloth bag. When he heard Lu Wensheng's voice, he hurried out and greeted him with a smile:
"Is it Xiaolu girl who's here? You've come just in time. You should take care of this old guy. He won't listen to me no matter what I say."
Lu Wensheng handed the lunch box and a basket of apples to Old Man Ge and said with a smile:
"Okay, Uncle Ge, you've worked hard. I will definitely talk to him."
"Okay, I'll go make breakfast while you two chat."
Old man Ge took the things and went to the kitchen, tactfully leaving all the space for the grandparents and grandchildren in the house.
When Lu Wensheng entered the room, Lu Laoxianer was turning his head to the window, feeling guilty and a little afraid to look at his little ancestor.
Lu Wensheng felt a little distressed when he saw his leg that was pricked like a hedgehog, and asked with concern:
"Your legs hurt again? I guess it's because you got caught in the cold from being outside these few days."
As he spoke, he gently placed his hand on Lu Laoxian'er's knee and slowly injected spiritual energy into it to drive away the cold.
At this time, Lu Laoxian'er lowered his head and kept silent like a child who had done something wrong. If he hadn't insisted on going out for some fresh air, there would be no need for the young lady to come and treat his legs so early in the morning...
Lu Wensheng seemed to see his self-blame and said:
"Grandpa, don't blame yourself. I calculated that it was almost today. Even if you didn't go out, your legs would still hurt."
After hearing her say this, Lu Laoxian'er felt a little better about herself, but when she looked at Shengsheng's smiling face, her self-blame turned into guilt.
Ever since I adopted this godson, I have been constantly causing trouble for her. I had just cured Xiao Xie's lung disease, and now she had to treat my leg.
The two of them owed the young lady more and more money, and they could never repay it in this lifetime...
Seeing him like this, Lu Wensheng knew that he was messing around in his mind again, so he quickly spoke to divert his attention:
"Grandpa, I have to go to the county town later..."
I briefly told Lu Laoxianer about the mushroom cultivation and the origin of the mushroom strain. Of course, she did not say that she got the strain from Lingling.
Having known each other for such a long time, they have formed a good tacit understanding between them, and they won't ask unless I say it.
Lu Laoxian nodded: "Okay, go early and return early. Be careful on the road, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to go alone?"
Lu Wensheng: "Well, Grandpa, don't worry, I have my uncle with me."
When I heard that Chen Cheng was also going to Lu Laoxian'er, I finally put my mind at ease:
"If Xiao Cheng goes, I'll be relieved. You don't have to worry about me. My legs don't hurt anymore. Just go ahead."
The cold air had almost been removed. Lu Wensheng withdrew his hand and nodded:
"Okay, I'll leave first. You'd better rest at home these few days and don't go out again."
After a pause, he continued: "If you are really bored, just weave a mat for me."
The bed that the uncle made in the space was just missing a mat. He was afraid that Old Immortal Lu would get sick from being cooped up in the room, so he had to find him something to do.
"Okay, leave it to me."
Seeing that she could still be of use, Lu Laoxian'er's guilt faded a little. As long as she was still useful...
"Then I'll go. My family is waiting for me to have dinner."
"Okay, be safe on the road and come back soon."
