Chapter 66: Mommy Cooks for You
Sang Yu was thinking about not wasting the money he had worked so hard to earn. Just as he was about to get up, he saw his grandmother standing at the door with a basket in her hand and a medicine bag hanging around her neck.
She was immediately delighted: "Grandma, you found the medicine bag, that's great!"
When she woke up, her face was still pale, but with a hint of red, so she was no longer seriously injured.
Mrs. Shi's heart, which had been hanging in the air all the way, finally settled down. She smiled cheerfully and said, "When I saw the medicine package, I guessed it must have been bought by you for Jia'er. How could I throw it away?"
Fortunately, the Sang couple were still cutting bamboo in the mountains and had not returned yet, otherwise there would be two more people crying beside Sang Yu.
Now that the things he was worried about had been settled, Sang Yu could finally rest in peace. He lay on the ground and fell into a deep sleep with Sang Xinghao.
During this period, although I ate salt, I ate too little oily meat. Once a person eats too light a meal, it is easy to feel weak.
Sang Yu's body has been underdeveloped since childhood, and he works hard every day. Even if he didn't fall down from heatstroke today, he would get sick sooner or later.
They slept soundly, and Sang Xingjia quietly lit a fire and began to boil medicine.
This was a token of his younger sister's love, and he couldn't let it go to waste. He had to heal his leg injury as soon as possible, so as not to let her kindness go to waste.
Old Mrs. Shi counted the money in the basket and said with fear: "Yu'er has suffered so much recently. Next time, she must not let her go out alone."
Sang Xingjia nodded in agreement and said in a low voice, "Yes, it's all my fault for not doing my best. That's why I've been so stubborn and can't let up even a little bit."
When he first arrived in Lingnan, when his family needed manpower and labor the most, he, as the eldest son in the family, could only stay in the shed and could not help at all.
If it weren't for him, how could Sang Yu have fainted today?
Strong feelings of guilt and self-blame filled Sang Xingjia's heart, and his eyes were full of regret and hatred. He blamed those who had beaten and robbed them.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shi paused while counting the money, put down the copper coins in her hand, patted him on the back gently and said comfortingly: "Family members don't say such things. If Yu'er hears it, she will say you think too much."
"grandmother……"
Sang Xingjia couldn't help but tear up. It was the fact that his family had no complaints about this that made him feel even more incompetent.
He wished his family would scold him and hit him a few times, so that he could still be of some use.
Sang Yongjing and Xie Qiujin had a very fulfilling day today. They went up the mountain to cut bamboo and reeds, and then carried the bamboo and reeds down the mountain. They were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.
Even so, they still managed to squeeze out some time and picked a bag full of golden berries.
As soon as the couple returned to the shed after dragging their heavy harvest down the mountain, they were stunned. The air was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and the bitter aroma of medicine was floating around.
Sang Yongjing was the first to react. He looked at Sang Xingjia happily and asked, "Did Yu'er buy you some medicine?"
No one else in their family needed medicine, so when they suddenly smelled medicine, there was only one possibility: it was brewed for Sang Xingjia.
Sang Xingjia nodded: "Yes, Dad."
"Yu'er is the one who knows how to care for others. Hey, she..." Sang Yongjing was about to ask why Sang Yu was missing, but when he looked up, he saw her and Sang Xinghao sleeping soundly with their heads close together, and he immediately fell silent.
"Yu'er, are you tired?" he asked in a low voice.
Sang Xingjia first nodded and then shook his head, and recounted the whole story.
When Xie Qiujin heard Sang Yu fainted, she could no longer hold back. She clenched her hands and was about to walk towards her, but was stopped in time by Sang Xingjia.
"Mom, my little sister is fine now. She just fell asleep because she was too tired."
Although Sang Xingjia appears calm and composed now, in fact, while Sang Yu was sleeping soundly, he went up to her several times to check her breathing, fearing that something might happen to her.
"Your mother just can't stand it. Don't bother with her. Jia'er, tell me what happened next."
While saying that Xie Qiujin was impatient, Sang Yongjing himself was not much better. He kept urging for the follow-up and he was also anxious.
The corners of Sang Xingjia's mouth twitched a few times, and he sighed softly before continuing, "Later, my grandmother and I brought my little sister back. We fed her some salt water, and she gradually regained consciousness."
"It's good that nothing happened, it's good that nothing happened." Xie Qiujin patted his chest and muttered softly.
Even though they lowered their voices, their constant chattering still woke up Sang Yu who was sleeping soundly.
She just felt a severe pain all over her body. She sat up dazedly and looked at where the three people were standing: "Well, what are you talking about?"
Is it time for dinner? She is so hungry.
"Yu'er, how do you feel?"
"Little sister, are you okay?"
Almost at the same time, greetings came out one after another, all expressing concern for her health.
Sang Yu shook her neck to stretch her body: "Me? What could be wrong with me? I'm just hungry."
"Mom will cook for you!" Xie Qiujin immediately agreed.
Her cooking skills were certainly not comparable to Sang Yu's, but after all, she was the one who had cooked soup for her husband, so cooking the dish was not a problem for her.
The dishes are all ready-made at home, and you can just stir-fry them and make some soup.
Before dinner, Sang Yu woke up Sang Xinghao. After a good sleep, the swelling in his tear-swollen frog eyes had diminished a lot, but the swelling was still obvious, making him look pitiful.
He became even more clingy after waking up, wishing he could stick to Sang Yu. He completely became her little tail, following her wherever she went.
After washing her hands, Sang Yu was about to serve the food, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the things Sang Yongjing and the others had brought back. In addition to bamboo and reeds, there was... golden berries?
"Dad! Mom! Why did you bring back golden berries again?"
She was a little angry. She had clearly told them yesterday that they could no longer go into the city to sell sugar in the near future, so why did they still pick fruits and bring them back?
Sang Yongjing smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to speak. Xie Qiujin quickly came out to smooth things over for him: "We're just trying to make more money so that our family can live better in the future."
Golden Rosaceae are not easy to pick. After picking them, you have to process them one by one and then use them to make sugar. If it weren't for the money, who would be willing to do this troublesome work?
"I'll emphasize again, we can't go to the city to sell sugar for the next half... no, for the next month. This business is not as easy as you think."
Sang Yu said this very seriously. She didn't want to suddenly find out that someone in her family disappeared one day, and then when she looked for them again, she would only see their corpse.
Remote areas are most likely to host unruly people and bullies, and they are not incapable of murder.
Such a stern tone made the smiles on the faces of the few people who had not taken it seriously at first fade away. Sang Yongjing frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Yu'er, what do you mean by this?"
He was still thinking about making more money by selling sugar. He didn't know how expensive food and fuel were until he took charge of the household. Now that it was his turn to earn money, he realized that money was needed everywhere in the house.
