Chen Jiao was so sleepy that she was confused. After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, her stomach, which had originally felt nothing, suddenly began to ache slightly.
She curled up subconsciously.
Not long after, she felt a large, hot hand covering her belly.
The warm feeling spread from the skin to the inside, and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared instantly.
Chen Jiao was already very sleepy when she had her period, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
The next morning, she was awakened by the heat.
The man in my arms was like a big hot pack, with just the right temperature and extremely comfortable.
But today, it was like a furnace, so hot that she was sweating.
She woke up in shock and touched the man, only to find that he was burning hot and had a fever.
Chen Jiao was startled and quickly stood up, only to see that the man's usually serious face was now flushed, and his thin lips were also bright red.
With his handsome face, he actually looked more charming and seductive than usual.
If this were usual, Chen Jiao would definitely tease the man first.
But now, all she felt was worry.
She reached out and touched the man's forehead, and it was so hot that she hissed slightly.
She couldn't help but curse in her heart, this stupid man, for not knowing how to cover himself with the quilt last night!
She was just about to pull her hand back, put on her clothes and go call a doctor for the man.
The man opened his starry eyes hazily, grabbed her hand with his big hand, and pressed her back into his arms, "Jiaojiao, don't sit there, you'll be cold."
The man's deep voice was a little hoarse due to the fever, but it was full of a different kind of charm.
But she didn't have the heart to think about it now.
She gently pounded the man's hard chest and frowned, "Lu Zhengxu, you have a fever, stop making trouble, let me get up quickly and call a doctor for you."
Lu Zhengxu still held her tightly with one hand, and touched his forehead with the other hand, saying in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, just a minor cold, Jiaojiao, just stay with me to sleep for a while."
Chen Jiao: ...
She was about to scold the man to wake him up, but he breathed out hot breath and said in her ear: "If it's convenient for Jiaojiao, I can also let Jiaojiao feel me at 40 degrees."
Chen Jiao: ...
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and twisted the soft flesh on the man's waist, scolding him: "It's almost burnt to charcoal, and you still have the mind to think about that. Hurry up and lie down. I'll ask the master to come and take a look at you."
Ever since she became familiar with Mr. Xu at the old lady's place, she has privately called Mr. Xu "grandfather".
Mr. Xu was particularly satisfied with this title of hers.
Although the old lady cursed every time, she never strictly stopped her from calling her that.
Chen Jiao broke free from the man's embrace and put on her clothes. The man looked at her with a pair of eyes that were moist because of his illness, "Wife, I'm sorry. I have to trouble my wife to put on her clothes today, and I have to trouble my wife to help me invite the master in such a cold day."
Shen Jiao gave him a glare, "Just shut up and lie down and get some rest!"
She spoke as if she hadn't dressed herself in all those years before he came back.
Chen Jiao put on her clothes and went out. She said hello to Wu Guilan first, then went to find Li Yan and asked Li Yan to help her ask for leave from the store.
Fortunately, they basically only sell hot pot during this period. The hot pot base is cooked by her. You just put it in the bottom of the pot, add water and boil it, and you can eat it. As for preparing the dishes, Li Yan and the two Dunzi can handle it completely. It doesn't matter whether she is there or not.
After leaving the second branch of the Lu family, Chen Jiao went straight to the commune clinic.
When I arrived at the clinic, I found out that Mr. Xu had been on leave for several days and had not been to work.
Chen Jiao's heart skipped a beat and she quickly rode her bike towards Shanxi Village.
She walked into the grove familiarly and headed towards Mr. Xu's thatched cottage. When she arrived, she found that Mr. Xu's thatched cottage had been reduced to ashes.
Chen Jiao's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Why did Mr. Xu’s house get burned down? Where is Mr. Xu?
Is anyone else okay?
When she brought food to the old lady a few days ago, everything was fine. There was no news of anyone being burned to death in the village in the past few days!
Chen Jiao hurried back to the old lady's yard.
As soon as I arrived at the old lady's yard, I heard her full-throated voice, "Old man, hurry up and pass me the white sesame seeds."
"Look at what you handed me. You are so old and confused that you can't even tell the difference between black and white, right?"
"Hehe." Then, Mr. Xu's awkward laughter came from the room, "Wan'er, don't be angry, I was wrong, I was wrong... This is white sesame."
Chen Jiao: ...
Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly settled down.
At the same time, a raging fire of gossip ignited in my heart.
What?
She hasn't been here for a few days, but the relationship between the old man and the old lady has made a qualitative leap?
"Master, Master."
When she entered the room, she just saw the old lady taking the jar of white sesame seeds from Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu also took the opportunity to pull the old lady's hand.
The old lady glared at Mr. Xu coquettishly.
Mr. Xu immediately grinned like a child who had been given candy.
At that moment, Chen Jiao felt warm in her heart just by looking at it. This sunset love is so sweet and great!
The old man and the old woman were so frightened by her that they quickly retracted their hands and almost dropped the sesame jar.
The old lady glared at her with her eyes drooping. "You silly girl, didn't I tell you not to come? Why are you here again? You don't have to work anymore, and you don't have to take care of your whole family anymore?"
Mr. Xu rubbed his hands with a smile to hide his embarrassment, "Why is Jiaojiao here?"
Chen Jiao was scolded by the old lady, but she didn't care.
He said directly: "Lu Zhengxu was freezing for half the night last night and fell ill with a fever this morning. I would like to ask you to go and see him. The clinic said that you haven't been to work for several days, so I have no choice but to come here to see you."
The old lady's eyes, though cloudy but still shrewd, looked her up and down and said meaningfully, "Young man, you should be more relaxed. It's so cold, and you are only concerned about having fun and not taking care of your health. Won't he catch a cold?"
"puff!"
After Chen Jiao entered the room, she had just poured herself a bowl of hot water to drink. When she heard the old lady's words, she was so shocked that the water sprayed out.
The old lady glanced at her with even more disdain, "You have no manners."
Chen Jiao: ...
Listen to what you just said. This is something that only a well-behaved person can say.
The old lady didn't wait for Chen Jiao to explain, she pushed Xu Lao impatiently and said, "Okay, Mr. Xu, don't stay here with me anymore, go and see Lu kid. Lu kid is a good person, it's almost the New Year, don't let him die of illness."
Chen Jiao: ...
She looked at the old lady helplessly.
You have a really vicious tongue!
I don't know how she managed to survive in the palace with such a big mouth, not be killed, and become a female official.
