Even if Jiang Xiao and Huo Fengyan did not have a good brotherly relationship, he would still be willing to give away the vegetables that Qingzhi sent him without any hesitation. After receiving the call and asking about the situation, he rushed over as soon as possible.
After Jiang Xiao came, he took the person's temperature.
"Drink more hot water. Taking medicine or injections is not recommended."
Xu Qingzhi: "Are you sure?"
Jiang Xiao nodded: "Taking medicine and injections can make you better quickly, but Brother Yan's fever is not high. Drink more hot water, or honey water. It's actually best to rely on your body to recover on its own."
He brought some fever-reducing patches that could make Huo Fengyan feel more comfortable.
Xu Qingzhi sent Jiang Xiao away, took out a jar of honey that the two little ones had collected in the dense forest from the spiritual space, and made a cup of warm honey water and brought it over.
Huo Fengyan was buried in the quilt, with only a slightly tired face showing, and a fever-reducing patch on his forehead.
"I just made a phone call and asked the private chef to prepare a few dishes and send them over. They are expected to arrive in an hour."
When Xu Qingzhi heard him say this, he knew that everything had been arranged, so he didn't say anything more like "no need".
She took a straw and put it in the water cup, then put it to his mouth and asked him to drink.
"Drink more water and get enough rest."
Huo Fengyan drank the water obediently, but he couldn't drink any more after drinking half of it. He was sick and his eyes looked listless, and his tone of voice was even weaker than before.
"Zhang Qi just called. There's an emergency meeting that needs me."
Xu Qingzhi: “…”
"I'll give you the title of workaholic!"
After saying this in a sarcastic tone, she stood up, put the cup of water on the bedside table beside her, and asked him, "What do you need?"
"Computer, I need to go to the study."
Xu Qingzhi pushed back his shoulders as he tried to get up, "Lie down, I'll get it for you."
She went to the study and got him a computer, then helped him up and considerately used the pillow next to him to support his back.
Huo Fengyan sat on the bed, turned on his computer, put on his Bluetooth headphones, and prepared for the meeting.
Xu Qingzhi turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the room a little bit, "I'll be downstairs for a while, you go to the meeting first."
"Okay." Huo Fengyan nodded.
Xu Qingzhi went to the spiritual space to catch a chicken, cleaned it, and took some processed medicinal herbs from the spiritual space to stew a medicinal chicken soup.
She still had some pork she brought from home, and she picked some fresh Chinese cabbage from the vegetable garden, preparing to make pork and vegetable porridge.
Xu Qingzhi knew without him saying anything that the dishes he just ordered from the private kitchen must be based on her taste. She likes spicy food, but he is sick now, so she should avoid spicy food.
Cook the porridge first, then add the meat later. Add the vegetables only shortly before serving, then just stir them twice.
He was in a meeting upstairs, so she didn't bother him.
The WeChat video ringtone on the phone rang.
Xu Qingzhi opened it and saw that it was her mother, sitting on the sofa next to her, answering the call.
"Mom, what's going on?"
Ms. Wang pretended to be unhappy: "What's the matter? I can't send you a video if there's nothing wrong? You've been gone for so many days, and I didn't send you a video. You didn't remember to send it to me at all. You don't miss your mother at all, right?"
Xu Qingzhi groaned, "Don't I report what I do every day in the group?"
Then, he quickly changed the subject, "Where's my dad?"
Xu Qingzhi just shouted: "Dad."
Xu Fuqiang just responded.
Ms. Wang didn't give her a chance to talk more and said, "Your father went to pick up the bride today and earned 200 yuan in red envelopes."
Xu Qingzhi leaned comfortably on the sofa, thinking to himself, this sofa is really comfortable, I will buy one for my home when the time comes, and then he continued to chat, "What bride are you picking up?"
"Your uncle Wang's family is holding a bridal party today. His son is getting married, and they want your father to drive the lead car to pick up the bride."
Then her father's voice was heard but not seen. "When our family bought a new car, your uncle Wang asked me this question. I thought that in the new year, picking up the bride would be a way to share in their good fortune."
Uncle Wang is an old neighbor and he has come to help out on our farm before.
Xu Qingzhi said: "That's good."
Wang Yanmei asked again: "Have you had dinner?"
"Not yet, I'll eat it later."
Wang Yanmei: "Where's Xiao Huo?"
"He's busy at work."
Wang Yanmei: "Be busy. By the way, your brother Hua Zai and his friends don't want to go to Xiao Huo's company anymore. They said the salary is too low. They don't provide food or accommodation in Kyoto. The cost of living is high."
Xu Qingzhi didn't know about this, and didn't care too much, so he just responded calmly: "Let them be."
"When your aunt talked to me about it, she said something unpleasant. She said that I didn't even have ten thousand dollars, and it was useless even if it was a big company, so I couldn't go. Guess what I said?"
Xu Qingzhi obediently followed her mother's words: "What did you say?"
"I said, why don't you just ask for money directly? Why do you want a job?" Wang Yanmei finished talking and laughed, "Your aunt's face turned unhappy at that time. I think I was right. Xiao Huo gave them a job opportunity, but they were dissatisfied with the low salary. So why don't they just refuse to go? Don't repeat those nonsense in front of me."
Xu Qingzhi nodded without saying anything.
Wang Yanmei asked: "How are you doing over there? Is no one bullying you?"
Xu Qingzhi shook his head. "Of course not. Who would bully me? Everyone is very nice to me."
"That's good, that's good." Wang Yanmei said it twice, and then urged: "Okay, you and Xiao Huo should have dinner soon after you finish your work. It's almost seven o'clock, why haven't you had dinner yet? Your father and I have dinner on time at six o'clock every day at home. Your brother went back to school the day before yesterday. Now the school allows us to bring mobile phones, saying that there will be no holidays in the future. If you need anything, please contact your parents and ask them to send you. Your brother said that there will be exams in the first two days of school, and the study is very intense. There is a classmate in their class whose grades are okay, in the top 20, but he was so depressed that he almost jumped off the building. Fortunately, his roommate found him and his parents took him back. Now he has applied for a leave of absence."
"Studying is really tiring." Xu Qingzhi sighed, and there is no freedom.
At that time, I had no control over anything. If I was late for class, I would be punished by standing. I couldn't go back to the dormitory during the day. There was no garbage allowed in the dormitory trash cans. In addition to cleaning the classroom, I had to get up early once a week to clean the public areas. If there was an organization organizing donations, I had to donate, and there was a minimum donation amount.
Xu Qingzhi couldn't understand where the students got the money. If he asked students for donations, he would end up asking their parents to pay for it.
At that time, her weekly pocket money was less than five dollars, and the minimum donation amount was five dollars.
Those students who did not perform well in the exam were scolded by the teacher because they lowered the average score, which resulted in her not getting the bonus.
The opening ceremony was held on a sunny day. The leader read a script for several hours on a shady platform, and the students underneath felt like they were being baked to death.
So every time I see a post online asking, if you could go back in time, when would you choose to go back to?
Xu Qingzhi would choose without hesitation, as long as it was after graduation.
As for those comments saying that if you go back to high school, you must study hard.
What she was thinking was, don't worry, even if you are really given this opportunity, you may not be able to do it. If you don't believe it, find a high school math problem to do right now to wake yourself up.
