Chapter 78 Vegetable Seeds, Sickness and Warmth
Day 30 of the game——
Nanxing woke up from her sleep, feeling weak, sore and weak all over.
As she expected, she had a fever.
I took out the mercury thermometer to measure my temperature. Fortunately, it was not too high, 38.6.
Just pay a little attention.
Nanxing stood up and brought the carrot and lean meat porridge that had been cooked on time to the table. She was in such poor health that she felt extremely tired just by bringing a pot of porridge.
“Knock, knock, knock—”
"Lily—Lily—it's Ping An—"
"It's immortality—"
The voices of Changsheng and Ping'an were heard outside the car, and Nanxing subconsciously lowered his head to take a look at the pot of porridge.
"Coming." Nanxing responded weakly. Ping'an and Changsheng were two idiots, but Granny Zhang was a sensible person and would not allow them to come to her house and eat for free.
"Lily, are you sick?" As soon as he opened the door, Ping'an saw Nanxing's abnormally flushed cheeks, pale skin, and pitiful blood vessels and blue veins.
They were so thin that they looked like they would fall down if they were poked lightly.
For Ping An and Chang Sheng, who have always been strong, Lily seems like she could die at any time.
"Lily, are you going to die?" Ping An asked.
Hearing Ping'an's straightforward question, Nanxing was stunned at first, then laughed uncontrollably, panting while laughing.
“…Huh…Huh…No…” Nanxing waved his hands, holding onto the door frame, his face turning even paler.
Ping'an and Changsheng became even more worried, and Ping'an quickly stepped forward to support Nanxing.
"Lily..." Ping'an's face was wrinkled, and he was very worried about Nanxing's health.
"Don't worry, it's just a fever. It will be fine in two days." Nan Xing gave her a weak smile and changed the subject. "By the way, Ping An Changsheng, is there something you two want to talk to me about?"
"My mother-in-law asked us to send this to you." Ping'an immediately turned to look at Changsheng. Changsheng was holding a bag in his palm, which was as big as a palm-leaf fan.
Nanxing took it and opened it, and saw that it was vegetable seeds.
Carrots, white radish, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, arugula, chicken greens, green peppers, zucchini, water spinach, and young sprouts of peppers, onions, ginger, and garlic...
There are a total of twenty or thirty kinds of vegetables that can enrich Nanxing's diet. Once they are grown, Nanxing will have a balanced nutrition.
She had eaten all the vegetables she had, so she only had canned corn and some extra fruit left.
Many of the seeds that Grandma Zhang gave were vegetables with short growth cycles, such as spinach and lettuce, which can grow in just one month.
"Ping'an, can you please thank Grandma Zhang for me? You can take this back and eat it." Nanxing took the vegetable seeds and took out three boxes of ice cream from the freezer, one box each of strawberries, blueberries and cherries.
The fruit that Old John sent before was used to make a total of thirty boxes of 500g ice points, ten boxes of each flavor.
Nanxing thought for a while and took out three more boxes. She was afraid that Changsheng and Ping'an would not have enough to share. Grandma Zhang was old and could not eat such sweet things, so Nanxing packed some bacon for them to take back.
"Thank you, Lily!" Ping'an and Changsheng's eyes lit up. They knew that Lily was a very good person!
"Lily, let us help you grow vegetables!"
"Ping An can grow vegetables!"
Ping'an and Changsheng have always kept in mind the teachings of Grandma Zhang that they should never eat or take other people's things for free, as this will make people dislike them.
"Hey, is it okay?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Changsheng nodded quickly and looked at Nanxing sincerely.
"We can also help Lily smoke bacon!" Ping'an raised his hand and gestured.
Yesterday, Ping'an helped Nanxing smoke, roast, and dry bacon, dried shrimp, and other things.
"Then, I'll trouble you." Nan Xing smiled faintly, with an unconcealable haggardness and weakness between her eyebrows.
In the early morning sunlight, Nanxing narrowed her eyes slightly, and she looked beautiful, fragile, and sickly, making people want to protect her.
"No, no." Ping'an waved her hands vigorously. She didn't understand all that mess. She just felt that Lily really needed her protection.
It seemed as if Lily would die immediately without her protection.
Changsheng had the same idea. Lily was very small, just like the babies he had seen before, but a little different.
The adults didn't allow him and Ping'an to touch the baby, but Lily was allowed to.
Besides, Lily is similar to her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law sometimes acts like Lily.
Changsheng carefully supported Nanxing and spoke in a much softer voice.
"Lily, do you want to sleep? Grandma said that sick people will get better after a good night's sleep."
"...Yeah." Nanxing thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Ping'an and Changsheng were taught very well by Grandma Zhang, so Nanxing was not very wary of them. At most, she would just be wary of them because they were greedy and ate a little.
However, Nanxing did not go to rest immediately, she still needed to do some work.
He drank some porridge first, then took out a pen and paper to cut it into a suitable rectangle, and then asked Ping'an to go to the second floor to bring down a few bags of soil.
The planting boxes and other aconite plants were piled outside the RV and did not need to be moved.
Write down the names of various vegetables on paper, and then stick them on the flower pots and planting boxes with rice grains.
Nanxing carefully instructed Changsheng and Ping'an, then went back to his room to rest.
There was no way. Her body temperature seemed to be getting higher and higher, and she felt a little dizzy. Nanxing did not forget to take some more medicine before going to bed.
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
…
When Nanxing woke up again, he felt much more comfortable.
Although she still had a slight fever, her body was not sticky. Someone must have wiped her body.
There was a cup of warm water on the bedside table. Nanxing picked it up, smelled it, and found no strange smell, so he drank it in one gulp.
"Awake?" Opening the bedroom door, I saw Grandma Zhang and Kou'er, one busy in the kitchen and the other sitting on a chair.
There was still a clanging and banging sound upstairs.
"Grandma Zhang, Sister Kuer." Nanxing's voice was weak, her face was pale, and she walked over slowly, holding on to the wall.
"You had a high fever at noon, and Ping'an and Changsheng called us here in a hurry." Ke'er put down the kitchen utensils in his hand and walked over to support Nanxing.
"Mung bean porridge is cooking in the pot. Grandma Zhang brought the mung beans. I bought some small green vegetables from Mary and fried two plates of green leaves for you."
"I didn't abuse you. It was Grandma Zhang who said that eating this way is better for you." After thinking about it, Kuer decided to explain it clearly to Nanxing.
If she were to say, Lily's health is just too poor and she should eat more meat. Just look at her and Ping'an and you'll know.
But she couldn't persuade Zhang because he was too fierce.
Nan Xing smiled, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ke'er and Granny Zhang, her voice slightly hoarse, "Thank you Granny Zhang and Sister Ke'er."
"It's nothing. We'll be happy if you take a good rest and take good care of your health." Ke'er touched Nanxing's head and said softly.
"Oh, by the way, what are Ping'an and Changsheng doing?" Nanxing nodded, then asked curiously.
