"Even if you don't like to talk, I don't like to talk either!" Zhang Caixia looked at the steamed buns and rice porridge that she had worked so hard to make, and then thought of her husband and son. She was so angry that she took off her apron, threw it on the table, and sat down on the stool, her whole body shaking with anger.

…

When Yan Shuhua returned from Li's house, he saw Xiao Jinchu was about to stand up, and quickly pulled him back: "No, no, you need at least another half a month before you can get up and walk around, don't run around."

"My feet don't hurt that much anymore." Xiao Jinchu pushed Yan Shuhua's hand away, wanting to try again to see if he could stand up, but Yan Shuhua wouldn't let him get up. "Jinchu, you'd better sit down and wait for a while before leaving. I'm afraid your wound will split."

"It's okay, Shuhua, let me walk a little, I don't feel any pain anymore."

"It won't hurt if it doesn't hurt that much. The situation will get worse later." Yan Shuhua asked him to lie down quickly, and then helped him check the wound. "It's okay. This wound heals pretty quickly."

Seeing Yan Shuhua caring so much about her wound, Xiao Jinchu was really moved. She held her hand calmly and said softly, "It's all because of your careful care. Otherwise, it wouldn't have healed so quickly."

Xiao Jinchu's warm palm covered Yan Shuhua. There was a little friction at the position of her thumb where she had been holding the gun for many years, but it made her feel warm in her heart, because her hard work was seen by others, which was actually the most gratifying thing.

"That's because you like to do it, so it's better. If it's someone else, they won't be obedient and won't get better so quickly." Yan Shuhua's implication was that only if both of them did a good job would things get better so quickly.

Yan Shuhua was busy making medicine, so Shen Hongmei was responsible for some of the chores at home. However, after dinner, Yan Shuhua should wash the dishes. When she saw Xiao Jinchu coming in with a wheelchair and rolling up his sleeves to help, she pushed his hand away: "I can do it myself."

"I'll help you." Xiao Jinchu put his hand closer again, "Your hand is burned, it's best not to touch water."

"It's impossible not to touch water. There are so many things to do." Yan Shuhua always feels that there are endless things to do. As soon as he opens his eyes in the morning, he has to feed the chickens and ducks, cook, and then after dinner he is busy making medicine. There is never enough time in the day.

Xiao Jinchu knew that Yan Shuhua was busy doing many things every day. To be honest, he couldn't bear it, so he said, "You can assign the task to me."

It was a good thing for Yan Shuhua that he could think of helping her, but he didn't expect to really help her: "You are a wounded person, how do you want me to assign tasks to you?"

"I have done all the tasks, so don't worry." Xiao Jinchu would help her chop wood and other things every day, and Yan Shuhua thought that this was quite good for him as it allowed the body to exercise and get some relief.

"Let's wait until your foot is healed." Yan Shuhua said, "Now is the most critical moment, it's better to wait until you are better."

"Okay then." Xiao Jinchu pushed the wheelchair out. After Yan Shuhua finished all the work, it was almost time for him to rest. When he arrived in the room, he saw Xiao Jinchu reading a book again. Yan Shuhua asked him curiously, "I see you read books every day. What books are you reading?"  When he said this, Yan Shuhua came closer and found that he was reading Jin Yong's martial arts novels, which are considered the most famous books of this era.

When Xiao Jinchu saw her approaching him, he looked like he understood a lot and asked, "Do you know how to read?"

"Of course." Seeing that Xiao Jinchu didn't quite believe it, Yan Shuhua picked up the book and read a few words, and also wrote his name on the notebook.

When Xiao Jinchu saw that her handwriting was quite beautiful, he praised her: "Well written."

Yan Shuhua felt very happy when he was praised. After a busy day, Yan Shuhua had not had time to take a shower. He was covered in dust and his clothes were covered with a thick layer of smoke, but Xiao Jinchu did not dislike it at all. When she sat beside him, he just felt extremely satisfied.

"I want to borrow some books from you, is that okay?" Yan Shuhua thought that when he had nothing to do at night, he could bring a few books to read. After seeing Xiao Jinchu nod, Yan Shuhua went to flip through some books and found two, both of which were quite interesting.

"You can come and get it anytime you like."

"Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite. By the way... I'll give you a massage tonight." Yan Shuhua put the book aside, then helped him sit on the bed with his legs flat, and then continued to massage with his hands, which had many calluses from doing rough work.

Yan Shuhua's strength was just right, making Xiao Jinchu feel particularly comfortable. She also knew how to pinch and pound. Sometimes her strength was very strong, but it didn't hurt at all because she was pinching the most important places directly. It was very skillful.

Yan Shuhua had been busy all day today, and his arms were actually quite sore and numb. After giving Xiao Jinchu a massage, he waved his arms but did not dare let him see.

"Put your hand over here, I'll help you massage it." Xiao Jinchu freed his hand, but Yan Shuhua quickly shook his hand, "No need, you're injured."

Xiao Jinchu sighed in his heart. He felt really uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.

"Hold it out."

"Let's just forget about this..."

"I just hurt my foot, not my arm. It's nothing." Xiao Jinchu was a little angry when he saw her hiding. "You said you work so hard every day to massage my feet. If something happens to my hand, who will help me massage it in the future? So, give me your arm and I'll help you massage it."

Seeing his persistence, Yan Shuhua gave him her hand. Xiao Jinchu lifted her arm, using just the right amount of force each time, and actually made Yan Shuhua fall asleep while lying down.

Xiao Jinchu originally wanted to ask her to raise her other hand, but he found that she had fallen asleep. Looking at her sleeping face, he felt a little sad, knowing that she was really too tired, which was why she fell asleep while lying like this.

That night, Xiao Jinchu let her sleep in his room and covered her with a quilt. Even if she had to go to the toilet at night, she would be strong enough to get up on her own so as not to affect her sleep.

The next morning, Li Mei picked a lot of herbs. Yan Shuhua, who had just woken up, was delighted when he saw these herbs. He started making medicine immediately, and Xiao Jinchu helped him.

Li Mei is very capable. She can clearly distinguish each herb. Yan Shuhua thinks she has great potential and is worthy of being the daughter of a doctor.
