Chen Geng is a practical person. After returning from home to get the tools, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of hot tea, and started hammering and banging.
He was much easier to get along with than Liang the carpenter and learned that they were going to make a bed.
Not only did he patiently ask Su Man for her opinion and see what style she wanted, he also offered many of his own suggestions.
Soon, the pile of wood took shape in his hands.
As long as you start working, the material will not be wasted.
When it got dark in the evening, Tang Guifen insisted on keeping Chen Geng at home for dinner.
After dinner, Chen Geng went home first.
Tang Guifen cleaned up the wood shavings in the main room and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the bed board had taken shape.
Su Man washed her hair and sat in front of the stove to dry her hair with the remaining fire.
I looked up from time to time to see the smoked duck on the stove.
I brought this back from the Su family that day. Grandma was afraid it would go bad, so she hung it on the stove and smoked it for several days after pickling it. I wonder when it can be eaten?
Tang Guifen came from the main room and couldn't help laughing when she saw Su Man like this.
"Mannier, do you want to eat smoked duck? Grandma will steam it for you tomorrow."
She grabbed a handful of wood shavings from the stove, and they caught fire.
It gives off a pleasant fragrance, and the dried hair smells fragrant, which is much better than shampoo.
Tang Guifen looked at the fire. If the fire was too big, she was afraid that Su Man's hair would be burnt, but if it was too small, she was afraid that it would not dry enough.
Seeing that the shavings were almost burned, he added a handful more.
"Manier, have you studied medicine before?"
Su Man paused and spoke vaguely.
"I guess so! I've learned it before."
She was afraid that if she said she learned it in her previous life, it would scare her grandmother.
Tang Guifen glanced at Su Man and began to wonder.
That day, she was driven out when she returned home. While she was waiting for Manier at the village entrance, she heard the gossips in their village talking about her family's situation.
Not long after Mannier's father passed away, her mother remarried and took her brother with her.
Those guys from the Su family said they were taking care of their niece, but in fact they took the opportunity to steal her house and the job her father left behind.
That’s not all. Manier was only sixteen years old at the time, but she was not allowed to go to school and had to stay at home to take care of the food and drink for the whole family.
I heard that the old woman would yell and curse whenever she was unhappy. With that kind of family, would she let her study medicine?
Tang Guifen wanted to ask a few more questions when she heard Lin Ye calling her from inside the house.
"Grandma, I can't find my clothes."
"Here I come."
Tang Guifen responded, got up and went into the house.
After a while, he came out and smiled at Su Man.
"I'm just asking casually, don't take it to heart."
Su Man smiled and glanced at Lin Ye's house.
Grandma has no bad intentions, she's just like all old people, she likes to get to the bottom of things.
So, Lin Ye was deliberately helping her out just now?
This man is really attentive, two more points for him.
After drying her hair, Su Man was not in a hurry to go back to the house to sleep.
He entered Lin Ye's room and prepared to lift the quilt to show him the injury on his leg.
Lin Ye pressed the quilt and frowned.
"Leave the door open and get some fresh air!"
Humph, what's the point of being breathable? Are you just afraid that she will take advantage of you?
Su Man knew what was going on, so she didn't say anything and left the door open.
It was still raining outside, and the cold wind was blowing the rain in my face.
It dispelled the faint smell of medicine in the room and brought in a bit of coolness.
Su Man rubbed her arm, lifted a corner of the quilt, and looked at the wound carefully.
The wound healed well and there was no sign of infection.
After observing for a while, you can try walking around.
Wanting to take a closer look, Lin Ye pulled the quilt back and turned his head somewhat unnaturally.
"cold!"
Su Man stood up and prepared to close the door, but Lin Ye stopped her.
"Open a little longer."
He looked at the dark rain outside, slightly lost in thought.
He has never gotten out of bed since his legs were broken. His grandmother kept the door closed all day long for fear of gossip from the villagers.
I almost forgot what it was like outside.
After watching for a while, Lin Ye saw Su Man rubbing her hands because of the cold, and couldn't help but frowned.
It was just the beginning of spring, and she was wearing only a single layer of clothing, without even a coat.
A few days after she got married, I saw her changing between the two sets of clothes.
The Su family couldn't even bear to buy her a decent piece of clothing?
"Close the door!"
Lin Ye leaned over and took out six big unity notes from the crack of the bed and handed them to Su Man.
"Take this and go buy two sets of clothes. Don't catch a cold."
Without waiting for Su Man to say anything, he forcefully pulled Su Man's hand and stuffed the money into her hand.
"You don't have to pay for food and drinks at home. If you want to stay here, we can just be brother and sister."
After saying that, Lin Ye lay down on his side and covered himself with the quilt.
Su Man looked at the money in her hand, then looked at someone's ears that were red as blood, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright! My dear brother is still a brother!"
——————
There is a lot of rain in spring, and it can last for half a month.
Everyone else was worried when they saw it raining for so long, but Wang Juhua was happy and blooming every day.
Since the time was almost up, she left early.
He ran to Tang Guifen's house happily and started yelling.
"Auntie, I'm here. What are you thinking about? I tell you, you can wait, but the material can't wait!"
When I arrived at the door of the house, I saw at a glance that the wood in the main room was gone and there was an extra bed.
The bed was made, and it was a bunk bed, which is rare nowadays.
There are also several pull-out drawers at the end of the bed, which are very convenient for storing small things.
The style is more fashionable than those sold in department stores, and the patterns are also carefully polished.
