Chapter 72 Illness



After planting the spring wheat, Jiang Cheng took a short break. Every day, he would get up early to make tofu, and then go to different villages with Song Tingzhi to sell it.

Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi went to Lihua Village again later, and the result was the same as before.

Jiang Cheng thought that Zhang Ermei would come out to buy some tofu when she saw them, but he didn't see her after wandering around the entire village.

Since he didn't see her, Jiang Cheng didn't think too much about it and went somewhere else with Song Tingzhi.

I made a lot of money from this.

Jiang Cheng gathered all the money he had earned these days and counted them one by one while sitting at the table.

"I've earned a total of five taels and twenty coins these days." After counting, Jiang Cheng told the total to Song Tingzhi.

"That's right, but the money still comes in too slowly!" said Song Tingzhi.

Song Tingzhi thought that there was no way to make money faster than going up the mountain to hunt!

"I know, we just need to take it slow!" Jiang Cheng understood what Song Tingzhi meant and comforted him, "At least I'm sure nothing will happen to you on the mountain!"

Song Tingzhi didn't say anything.

"Then why don't you go up the mountain a few times a month to hunt, but you can't go every day!"

Jiang Cheng also knew that it was really unfair to him to let Song Tingzhi accompany him to do this small business. Although Song Tingzhi had been with him all these days, he could feel that Song Tingzhi was not particularly happy these days!

"Really?" Song Tingzhi looked at Jiang Cheng. He didn't expect Jiang Cheng to agree to let him go up the mountain.

Jiang Cheng was afraid that something might happen to him, so he always took care of Jiang Cheng's feelings and didn't want him to worry.

"Yeah." Jiang Cheng leaned his head on Song Tingzhi's legs. "You are doing this for my own good and are willing to accompany me. Naturally, I can't keep you at home with me every day!"

"Chengcheng, you are so nice!" Song Tingzhi hugged Jiang Cheng in his arms.

"You support me, and I have to support you too!" Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "Once we save some more money, we can buy a shop in town. No matter how big or small it is, we'll always have a place to stay in town, and we can even bring our parents over to live with us!"

"I will definitely work hard!" Song Tingzhi was full of energy when he heard Jiang Cheng say that.

The next day, when Jiang Cheng got up, he felt a little dizzy, but after shaking his head, he felt nothing, so he continued to make tofu.

Just when Jiang Cheng was separating the soy water and the soy dregs, he suddenly felt that the things in front of him were gradually blurring. Jiang Cheng shook himself, trying to see clearly, but he still couldn't stand and fell down.

Xu Sanniang was just walking towards the woodshed when she saw Jiang Cheng fall down. She hurried over to catch him!

"Chengcheng!" Xu Sanniang yelled, "Tingzhi! Song Tingzhi! Come here quickly!"

Xu Sanniang shouted loudly to Song Tingzhi to come in. When Song Tingzhi heard Xu Sanniang's voice, he immediately ran in and saw Jiang Cheng lying in Xu Sanniang's arms.

Song Tingzhi took Jiang Cheng from Xu Sanniang's arms, carried him into the house, and then went to the village to find a barefoot doctor to check him out.

After Song Tingzhi left, Xu Sanniang took off Jiang Cheng's coat and touched his forehead, which was burning hot!

Xu Sanniang hurried to the woodshed to pour some cold water, soaked a towel in it, and then put it on Jiang Cheng's forehead, waiting for the barefoot doctor to come.

When the barefoot doctor arrived, he first took Jiang Cheng's pulse and said, "You have a cold and are overly tired. You need to rest for a few days!"

After examining the patient, the barefoot doctor went to prescribe medicine, leaving Xu Sanniang and Song Tingzhi to stay with Jiang Cheng.

After Song Tingzhi got the prescription, he followed the doctor to get the medicine.

Xu Sanniang asked Song Yu to stay by Jiang Cheng's side, and asked Song Yu to call her as soon as Jiang Cheng woke up. She went to the woodshed to cook some millet porridge and gave it to Jiang Cheng when he woke up.

Song Yu stayed next to Jiang Cheng, touching his quilt for a while, and then touching his head. It was so hot! Song Yu didn't dare to touch his head anymore.

After Song Tingzhi got the medicine, he ran back home and started to cook it, checking from time to time to see if Jiang Cheng had woken up!

"It's all my fault! I shouldn't have agreed to let him do business!" Song Tingzhi said in frustration beside the medicine jar.

If I had firmly opposed Jiang Cheng before, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. I finally recovered my health, but now I'm sick again!

"Don't blame yourself. You are just worried that Chengcheng will be bored at home. He wants to contribute to the family, and it is not easy for you to reject him!" Xu Sanniang comforted Song Tingzhi when she saw him squatting next to the medicine jar.

"This was just an accident, don't take it to heart! Wait until Chengcheng wakes up and talk to him slowly!"

Just as the two were talking, Song Yu ran in.

"Mom, brother, Brother Chengcheng is awake!" Song Yu said breathlessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

Hearing that Xu Cheng had woken up, the two of them brought porridge and medicine, and took Song Yu to the room to see Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng opened his eyes drowsily and saw a blurry figure running out.

Jiang Cheng felt dizzy and couldn't move. After a while, Jiang Cheng saw Song Yu coming in with Xu Sanniang and Song Tingzhi.

Xu Sanniang and Song Tingzhi, holding bowls in their hands, walked quickly to Jiang Cheng.

"Chengcheng, how are you feeling?" Xu Sanniang put the bowl of porridge aside, carefully helped Jiang Cheng up, and propped up her back with a pillow.

"Come, Chengcheng, drink some medicine." Song Tingzhi was watching anxiously from the side. Without waiting for Jiang Cheng to speak, he handed the medicine to Jiang Cheng's mouth.

"What medicine are you taking?" Xu Sanniang pushed Song Tingzhi away with one hand. "First, drink some porridge to fill your stomach, and then take the medicine. Don't you know this?"

"Yes, yes, I forgot!" Song Tingzhi remembered after hearing what Xu Sanniang said, and quickly brought the bowl of porridge over.

"Mom, Tingzhi, I made you worry!" Jiang Cheng said in a low voice as he watched the two of them busying around.

"Okay, stop talking, it's a waste of time!" Xu Sanniang pushed Song Tingzhi aside, disliked him for being a grown man but not being careful, and did it herself.

"Good boy, have some porridge to warm your stomach!" Xu Sanniang scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew it to her lips, and then held it to Jiang Cheng's mouth.

Jiang Cheng saw the spoon at his lips, then opened his mouth and started drinking.

Jiang Cheng ate half a bowl and couldn't eat anymore, so he drank the medicine.

Jiang Cheng wanted to get up, but he had no strength. Song Tingzhi touched his head and found it was still a little hot, so he covered him with the quilt and sat next to him to accompany him.

Seeing that the young couple was warm and cozy, Xu Sanniang decided not to stay there and pulled Song Yu out.

Not long after Jiang Cheng lay down, he felt sleepy. Unable to hold on any longer, he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Song Tingzhi looked at Jiang Cheng's pale face and felt uncomfortable.

The two of them stayed quietly in the room until Xu Sanniang prepared dinner and asked Song Tingzhi to go out for dinner.

After dinner, Xu Sanniang came to replace Song Tingzhi and stayed with Jiang Cheng herself.

Song Tingzhi couldn't defeat Xu Sanniang, so he went out to eat and planned to come back!
