"Master, when did the relationship between you and my master develop qualitatively?"
As Chen Jiao was driving Mr. Xu home, she couldn't suppress her curiosity.
"Hehe!" Old Xu, who was sitting on the back of the bicycle, smiled proudly and happily shared with Chen Jiao: "Your master is just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. I set my house on fire, but she took me in, didn't she?"
Chen Jiao: ...
God knows how uncomfortable she felt when she saw the pile of ashes, as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart.
In the end, it was the old man himself who started the fire.
She is really...
Old Xu was still nagging at her, "Your master and I are both dead, and one day we might run out of breath and die.
I thought I would set the house on fire and live with her, so that no matter who dies first, there will be someone who will know..."
Chen Jiao felt depressed as she listened to what Mr. Xu said.
"Master, don't worry. In two years at most, I will definitely bring you to live with me. I will take care of you and Master until the end of your life." Chen Jiao said in an exceptionally firm tone.
She wanted to bring the two elderly people to her side to take care of them now.
But current policy does not allow it.
It is now the end of 1976, and in two years, at the end of 1978, people will basically stop caring about it.
After the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in 1979, a red-headed document came down from above, ordering those who should return to the city to return, and those who should be rehabilitated to be rehabilitated.
By that time she should have gone to North City to attend university. In the next two years, she would try to buy a courtyard house in North City and then bring Old Xu and her master over so that they could enjoy their old age in the place they missed most.
When Mr. Xu heard the words "to take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life", his face was slightly moved, but in the end he said nothing.
They have been bullied many times over the years, and the closer the person is to them, the more cruelly they are bullied.
He doesn't believe in human nature.
The reason why I found Chen Jiao was because I really wanted to find an apprentice to pass on my skills.
In fact, he wanted to find someone to pass on his medical skills, but medical skills are different from cooking.
A doctor has a kind heart. If he cannot find an apprentice with noble character, he would rather take this ancestral skill with him into his coffin.
Chen Jiao naturally didn't know what Mr. Xu was thinking.
When she rode her bike home with the old man, Lu Zhengxu had already gotten up and was watching Yangyang, Nannan, Daya, and Gou Wa studying.
Although the four children are taught together, they learn at different paces.
Daya and Gou Wa are older and have already started to hold a pen and write.
Because Yangyang and Nannan are still young, Chen Jiao feels that their bones have not yet fully grown and learning to read too early will affect their development. Therefore, their learning so far is mostly about recognition and recitation, and they are not required to write.
The man had a tall and straight figure, a stern and serious face, and looked full of energy and vitality. He didn't look like a sick person at all.
But if you look closely, you will find that the man's cheekbones are still slightly flushed, and it is obvious that the fever has not subsided yet.
Shen Jiao walked over and quietly touched the man's hand with her fingers, and was immediately burned.
She was a little annoyed. Not only did the man's fever not go down, but it got even worse. The condition was so serious, why did he get up instead of lying in bed?
Chen Jiao frowned and scolded the man coldly.
The man came up to her with an aggrieved look on his face and quietly hooked her hand, "Wife, the children are here, please give me some face."
Chen Jiao rolled her eyes at the man helplessly, reached out to support him, and finally slowed down her tone, "Come on, come back to the room with me and lie down, let Mr. Xu take a look at you."
Lu Zhengxu immediately raised his head, straightened his back, and swept his stern eyes over the four children, "You four should study hard. I will check later."
After taking Lu Zhengxu's pulse and looking at his tongue coating and the whites of his eyes, Mr. Xu glared at Chen Jiao unhappily.
"Hey little girl, your man just caught a cold, what's the big deal? Don't you know a little bit about medicine? Can't you treat your man yourself?
Really...
It delayed me from helping the old lady make sesame cakes. ”
The old man cursed and muttered as he wrote a prescription and threw it to her, "Here, here you go, go get the medicine and boil it for your man. Your man has a good physique, and after taking two doses of the medicine at most, he will be strong and healthy again."
Chen Jiao: ...
She didn't know why, but after hearing what the old lady said before, she always felt that the old man's words like "dragon vigor and tiger vigor" were a bit meaningful.
After seeing the old man off, Chen Jiao ordered the man to stay in bed and not get up, and asked Wu Guilan to watch him before she felt at ease to get the medicine.
When Wu Guilan heard what Shen Jiao said, she said to Lu Zhengxu, "Zhengxu, if you don't obey me again, I will tell Jiaojiao about it."
This morning, after Chen Jiao went to ask the doctor, she also wanted to stop Lu Zhengxu from getting up.
But his son was born with his own ideas and he simply wouldn't listen to her.
No matter what she said, Lu Zhengxu insisted on getting up and taking the four children to study.
With Chen Jiao's special instructions this time, she wanted to see if her stubborn son dared to disobey.
Seeing his son lying obediently on the bed and not daring to move, he became even more grateful and satisfied with his daughter-in-law, Chen Jiao.
It is hard to find such a daughter-in-law who can control her son and be filial to him.
Chen Jiao went to get the medicine, boiled it and brought it to Lu Zhengxu.
As soon as she handed the medicine to Lu Zhengxu, she met his pitiful eyes. "I have been afraid of taking medicine since I was a child. Wife, feed me."
Chen Jiao: ...
Is this man still afraid of something?
She saw that the man had scars of all sizes all over his body, and she thought he had no idea what fear was.
The man's temperature rose again and his entire face was burning red.
Forget it, he is her man after all, just feed him!
Shen Jiao picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and handed it to the man's lips.
But the man pursed his thin lips, which were red because of the fever, and did not drink it. Instead, he looked at her with burning eyes, "Wife, this is not how you feed her."
"How do you feed it then?"
"I'll teach you."
As soon as Lu Zhengxu finished speaking, he suddenly drank up the medicine in the spoon.
Before Chen Jiao could react, a big hand grasped her slender waist. At the same time, the man's breath approached, and the bitter medicine flowed from the man's mouth into her mouth, and was then swept away by the man's tongue.
The man's Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed the medicine. He looked at her with a pair of deep eyes, "Feed her like this."
