Chapter 26 Chapter 026 Eating instant noodles, dreaming of having a fever, the seventh time...
Thanks to their own prodigy, the Qin family had the first time to eat such delicious food. Even the mutton dumplings from the daytime, because of the different seasonings they used, although they were fresh and delicious, they were still different from the overbearing instant noodles.
You have to know that although instant noodles were once considered junk food after they were developed, their unique storage method and the extremely convenient way of eating are enough to make them quickly accepted by everyone. The most important thing is that once the unique seasoning packet of instant noodles is put into water, the overbearing aroma can float for more than ten meters. If you have ever taken a hard-skin train, you should know that if there is only one person eating instant noodles in a carriage, everyone in the carriage will drool.
Liu Chunhua carefully scooped up the tender yellow, fragrant noodles with her chopsticks and gently placed them in her mouth. The fresh, fragrant flavor instantly exploded in her mouth, and her nostrils were filled with this tangy aroma. Could it be that the gods grew up eating this kind of food? This is so delicious!!!
After Qin Dali and the other men had started eating noodles, they gulped down a few mouthfuls of hot soup and immediately felt warm all over. This feeling was different from eating dumplings. The salty and fragrant soup left a lingering taste in their mouths, and the most important thing was that the soup was exceptionally salty.
Salt is the most precious thing in Dayong. The saltiness of this noodle soup was enough to conquer the men present, leaving the only sound in the hall being the slurping of soup.
Qin Yue and Qin Feng'er, two young girls, also held black bowls. It was their first time eating this magical soup, and their eyes lit up. The satisfaction of tasting something delicious made their faces smile. Qin Feng'er thought the corn sausage was especially delicious, with a hint of sweetness. She loved it!
Qin Yuan finally had her first instant noodles in five years. After all, she was only five years old, so she only had a small bowl, plus the corn and ham cooked together, and she was full. She looked up and glanced at everyone who was eating instant noodles, and couldn't help laughing.
She knew that instant noodles could easily conquer all the ancients!!!
All the instant noodles were used up in this meal. After all, there were many people in the Qin family and the men ate a lot. However, this time they ate the seasoning packet of braised beef noodles, which was salty enough. After the noodles were used up, the remaining seasoning packet of pickled cabbage was just enough to use when cooking noodles next time.
"Wow, even though this beef noodle doesn't have any beef in it, it's really delicious!" Qin Doudou looked at her sister, knowing that this delicious noodle had a lot to do with her sister. Although she didn't understand why the noodles were called beef noodles but didn't have any beef in them, the noodles were still delicious!
"Then we'll continue eating in two days!" Qin Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Her grandmother Liu Chunhua and Xie Yaer were sitting on her left and right, both on low stools. They also laughed when they heard Qin Yuan's words.
The strange appearance of the so-called braised beef noodles should have been the most abnormal thing, but no one in the Qin family asked a single question. After everyone finished eating the instant noodles, they just praised the instant noodles for being delicious. However, the brothers Qin Hu and Qin Xiong, who were washing the dishes, counted the bowls and chopsticks and asked in confusion.
"Why does it feel like there's another big bowl missing?"
Qin Xiong asked his brother, and Qin Hu guessed something and then said.
"Maybe it's an offering to the fairies. After all, we have a statue of a fairy enshrined in our study. We can't eat delicious food while the fairies are watching, right?"
Qin Hu had never seen a portrait of a fairy, but in his heart, his own Youyou was the cutest little fairy. Qin Hu had thought so since the first time he saw Douya.
"That's true." Qin Xiong didn't ask any more questions.
They didn't know that the discarded dishes had appeared in the hospital ward. A large bowl of mutton dumplings was different in color from the dumplings now. The dumplings with slightly yellow skin were actually not that good-looking, but Qin Huan didn't feel disgusted at all.
She picked up a steaming dumpling with chopsticks and took a light bite of the edge. Then she smelled the aroma of mutton and the fragrant soup flowing out. After blowing on it a few times, she bit into it. The mutton was tender and melted in the mouth. Qin Huan already knew that this mutton was lamb. Anyway, very few people in modern times eat lamb.
The dumplings tasted lightly salty and had a special soy sauce flavor, which was very suitable for people like her who needed to maintain their figure. The overall taste was fresh and light. When Qin Huan thought that her mother was eating the same food in another world, she felt happier than ever.
I guess mom will be very happy eating instant noodles today, right?
When you are in a foreign country, you will always feel happy when you taste the food from your hometown, as if you have never left home.
Qin Huan happily finished a whole bowl of mutton dumplings, but as expected, he was full again. He quickly took some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets before washing the dishes. He wiped the big bowl from last time and this time together and placed them on the table beside Qin Yuan's bed in the ward.
The recent period is almost the most relaxing and happiest time for Qin Huan in the past five years.
She didn't plan to eat dinner that night. She moved a chair and sat next to her mother. She gently pulled up her mother's hand, placed it on her face, and looked at her mother who was still sleeping.
"Mom, I'm so happy, you too, right?"
She didn't need Qin Yuan to give an answer. After saying this, she just smiled, put her hand on her mother's, and looked at the person on the hospital bed quietly.
After the panic of losing her mother, Qin Huan was filled with joy every day and night after regaining everything she had lost. She even woke up in the middle of the night these days, took out her cell phone to check if Qin Yuan, who was lying on the hospital bed, was still breathing, and then checked if the big bowl of stewed lamb on the table was just a dream.
Fortunately, fortunately everything is real, this is not a dream, her mother is alive and well in another world, they can still meet and talk every day, this is really... great.
There was some wet water stain on Qin Yuan's palm, but no one heard such suppressed crying.
That night, after Qin Yuan went to bed early, she had a dream for the first time in her life.
She dreamed of Qin Huan when he was three years old.
Speaking of which, as an orphan, Qin Yuan did not want her daughter to be a child with an unknown father at the beginning. She herself was an orphan from an orphanage. In addition to working hard to make her life better, her biggest dream in life was to build a warm family and have a lovely child. Even if the child was not lovely and was a little noisy, it was okay.
But Qin Yuan was in a serious relationship at that time, and they had even reached the stage of getting married. However, due to an accident, her boyfriend, who was about to get married, died in a car accident in another city. When Qin Yuan found out, everything was already settled. She attended her fiancé's funeral and didn't know that she was pregnant.
The fiancé's parents were very nice people, but they couldn't accept the news of their son's death. It is always painful to see the young die, so after the funeral they sold their property and moved away. Before leaving, they gave Qin Yuan 300,000 yuan and cut off contact with her because they were sad to see their daughter-in-law.
After attending her fiancé's funeral, Qin Yuan belatedly discovered that she was pregnant. It was already the fourth month at that time. This stubborn child in her belly suddenly made Qin Yuan, who was heartbroken at the time, want to keep trying.
She selfishly kept the child, allowing the child to be born into this world with only one mother.
At that time, she had left the orphanage for a long time. The director heard about her situation and came to take care of her during delivery and confinement, which helped her get through the most difficult period of her life. She gave birth to a baby who looked a bit like her fiancé.
It is very tiring to take care of a child alone. Even though Qin Yuan had experience in taking care of other children in an orphanage, she was still busy and flustered taking care of a baby alone. The 300,000 yuan given by her fiancé's parents allowed Qin Yuan to support her for five years. What scared Qin Yuan the most was a summer night when Qin Huan was three years old.
That summer night was very hot, and the cicadas were chirping loudly, but Qin Huan had a high fever. She first fed her daughter children's medicine according to her previous experience, and then took Qin Huan to the hospital. Sitting in the taxi, she held her daughter and felt that her daughter was like a scalding stove, her face was burning red, and her weak crying and her mother's murmur made her eyes red.
She just wondered why the taxi was so slow, why the hospital hadn't arrived yet, and why she had let her baby get sick.
Sitting in the taxi, Qin Yuan lowered her head again and again to touch her daughter's hot skin with her forehead, gently rocking her daughter, but her hands holding the child were shaking. She tested her daughter's temperature again and again, but became more flustered and self-blaming as the temperature kept rising.
It was very hot in the taxi. Because the child had a fever, the driver considerately turned off the air conditioner and didn't even open the window. He stepped on the accelerator eagerly and drove forward. Qin Yuan's sweat dripped from the corners of her forehead again and again. She didn't know how panicked and embarrassed she looked at that time.
The scorching, trembling journey continued. It seemed like the road to the hospital had no end. Qin Yuan repeatedly looked down at her daughter in her arms, tears threatening to burst from her reddened eyes, but she held them back, her whole body covered in cold sweats of fear. An unknown amount of time passed before the taxi finally arrived at the hospital. The moment it stopped, Qin Yuan opened the door, clutched the child, and rushed out...
Qin Yuan fell into the most frightening dream of that year, and in Xie Yaer's arms, her body became hotter and hotter, waking up Xie Yaer who was sleeping soundly. Without warning, when Xie Yaer touched her daughter's hot skin and the heat between her breaths, she suddenly became panicked.
"Qin Yu! Get up quickly! Go call mom! Yoyo has a fever..."
Her voice almost instantly became tearful. Qin Yu, who was sleeping beside her, woke up instantly at the sound. His mind instantly became clear, and he quickly lit the candle. In the dim light of the candle, he saw that his daughter's cheeks were flushed, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Qin Yu put the candlestick aside with an anxious look on his face.
"I'm going to find my mother."
The backbone of the Qin family is Liu Chunhua. At this time, the first person Xie Yaer thought of was her mother-in-law.
When Qin Yu went out to find her mother, Xie Yaer had already put on her coat. She gently hugged her hot daughter in her arms and called her softly.
"Yoyo, Yoyo, wake up, Yoyo, can you hear your mother's voice?"
She hugged her daughter in her arms and took out the rabbit fur satin that was already in the bed and wrapped her daughter's body. In the past, the Qin family knew that Qin Yuan had thoughts of suicide, so almost every time Qin Yuan fell asleep at night, there would be an adult staring at her with eyes wide open. This person might be Xie Yaer, or her eldest aunt or second aunt, or maybe Liu Chunhua.
It can be said that in the past five years, there was always someone staring at Qin Yuan when she was asleep.
Perhaps because she was certain that the prodigy was really willing to stay in the Qin family, and because Xie Yaer wanted to protect her daughter's secret, she kept Qin Yuan by her side every day, even falling asleep at night...
Xie Yaer's eyes were red at this moment. For the first time, she hated herself for neglecting her daughter so much. She actually made her daughter sick...
She was only twenty years old. After giving birth to such a daughter at the age of fifteen, she was almost worried day and night. Now seeing Qin Yuan had a fever, she was panicked and at a loss. After calling Qin Yuan, she had no voice. Tears kept falling from her eyes and she was out of her mind.
In Liu Chunhua's room, she soon heard a knock on the door and her son's voice.
"Mom! Mom, please open the door! Yoyo has a fever!!!"
Qin Yu's voice was very loud, and Liu Chunhua was really scared. She was lying on the bed. When she heard the word "yo yo", she immediately opened her eyes and kicked the old man next to her away.
"I heard someone shouting 'Yo Yo.'" Liu Chunhua immediately got up from the bed, put on her down jacket while still wearing her undershirt, and heard her third son shouting outside the door.
"Mom! Please open the door! I have a fever!"
She quickly got off the bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes. She walked barefoot to the door and opened it directly. Her expression became panicked. The cold wind that came in when she opened the door sobered her up, but the questions she asked were calm.
"What's going on? What happened Yoyo?"
When she asked this, Qin Yu quickly answered.
"Mom, Yoyo has a fever, I think I have a cold..."
If a poor family caught a cold in winter, it would be fatal! And the child was only five years old. Qin Yu really wanted to cry.
"Alright! Stop acting like that and go to the kitchen to boil some water. Hurry up, okay? I'll go to your room and ask your dad to get up and help you."
When Liu Chunhua heard that her granddaughter was sick, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down and told her son to boil some water. Her husband Qin Dali also spoke quickly behind her.
"Come on, let's go boil some water. Old woman, go check on Yoyo."
My daughter-in-law is so young and has no experience in raising children. I'm afraid she must be scared.
The two went to boil water, and Liu Chunhua hurried to Xie Yaer. She was really scared to death when she saw Xie Yaer sitting there holding her granddaughter. If a child is sick, it will be fatal. Although her granddaughter is a little noisy, she has not been sick for the past five years. This time, she is probably sick because of the tossing and turning in the winter.
"How's Yoyo?"
She walked over quickly, her feet were cold. She had not worn shoes and had walked all the way from the yard. Her feet were cold, but Liu Chunhua did not care. She moved over and put her forehead against Qin Yuan's. After feeling a burst of heat, she immediately thought that this was the symptom of a fever.
"Mom..." There were tears in Xie Yaer's eyes, and she was full of self-blame, but Liu Chunhua did not blame her, she just said.
"Where did you put the medicine Yoyo's fairy friend gave her? Yoyo said there was fever-reducing medicine in it. I've asked Dayu to boil some water. Don't be afraid. Yoyo is blessed with good fortune. She will be fine. She is a little fairy incarnate."
Xie Yaer pointed to the cabinet behind the bed, and Liu Chunhua hurried to look for it, and soon found the medicine that had appeared out of thin air before.
Speaking of which, Qin Yuan was too boring. After taking these medicines, in order to prevent any accidents to her family, she carefully explained the uses and functions of each medicine, which made Liu Chunhua and Xie Yaer remember them.
Xie Yaer was just frightened by her daughter's sudden illness, but with her mother-in-law around, she immediately felt reassured.
Liu Chunhua immediately found the fever-reducing medicine that had been confirmed before, and also found the children's fever-reducing patch.
Bring it to show your daughter-in-law.
"Look at this, is it for fever?"
After all, they are medicines and cannot be taken randomly. Liu Chunhua asked her daughter-in-law to further confirm the effects of these medicines.
"Well, Mom, this is the medicine for reducing fever. Yoyo said it's a powder. Just mix it with hot water and drink it. And this is a fever-reducing patch. Stick it on your forehead."
Xie Yaer finally calmed down, wiped away her tears, and quickly helped her mother-in-law open the fever-reducing patch. She found a fever-reducing patch, opened it, and put it on Qin Yuan's forehead.
Qin Yuan did not wake up, but just occasionally murmured something, as if she was trapped in a terrifying dream.
Liu Chunhua saw her granddaughter was in pain and she almost wanted to feel sad for her granddaughter. At this moment, she also wanted to comfort her daughter-in-law.
"Yoyo will definitely get better. You can take the medicine after the hot water is boiled. Don't panic, daughter-in-law. If you panic, Yoyo will be scared when she wakes up and sees you panicking. So don't be afraid, Yoyo will be fine."
She was actually scared in her heart, but she put on a brave face and acted as if everything would be fine, to reassure her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, it's all my fault. If I hadn't fallen asleep, it would have been fine. Yoyo has a fever. Is it because I fell asleep that she accidentally caught a cold..." Xie Yaer started blaming herself at this moment, and Liu Chunhua was helpless.
"Yoyo won't blame you. You are her favorite mother, but don't say these things in front of the child, understand?"
She did not comfort Xie Yaer. She just heard some movement at the door and thought that her son had boiled water, so she hurried over. As a result, the door was not open, but there was a gap. She heard someone asking questions outside.
"Mom, we heard some noise. Did something happen to Yoyo? Is there anything you can help me with?"
This is the eldest daughter-in-law Wang Pandi, followed by the second daughter-in-law Zhou Yan.
"Mom, if you need anything, just tell me. We'll be waiting outside. I just heard that Yoyo has a fever. Is he okay?"
The two of them were really worried. When they heard their brother calling outside, they immediately pulled their husband up. Their husband had already gone to the kitchen. The two of them came to Xie Yaer, but they were afraid that the cold air from their bodies would affect the child, so they had to wait outside and shout through the door to ask if there was anything they needed instructions for.
At this moment, there was no need for the two of them to argue with each other. They were all worried and scared. It was not just the two of them. In fact, everyone in the Qin family slept very lightly, and the house was not soundproof. Everyone heard Qin Yu's voice, and when they heard that something had happened to Youyou, they all woke up. Now everyone was very worried.
"It's okay. We have medicine at home. You can go back to your room and rest first. Tell others not to worry too much. Come back tomorrow when Yoyo is better."
Through the door, Liu Chunhua gave instructions to her two daughters-in-law, and she was satisfied with the fact that they loved Youyou so much.
"Okay, Mom, let's go back first."
"Yoyo, you must tell us when you're done."
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of anxious worry. They couldn't fall asleep even if they went back. It was pitch black outside. It was probably four o'clock in the morning. Youyou had a fever at the moment. The two women were most worried, but they could only go back and wait.
With everyone's help in the kitchen, after quickly fanning the air, hot water was boiled out. Qin Dali and others hurried to Xie Yaer's door with the hot water, and then asked his son Qin Yu to bring the hot water in. Several grown men stood outside the door, each with a solemn expression.
As soon as Liu Chunhua saw her son bringing hot water, she quickly took the medicine. Then, according to her granddaughter's previous instructions, she opened the fever-reducing granules and poured them into the water. The clear water in the small bowl immediately turned brown, and a sweet medicinal fragrance could be smelled.
In order to let Qin Yuan drink the medicine as soon as possible, Liu Chunhua kept stirring the medicine with chopsticks and blowing on it with her mouth, hoping that the medicine would cool down as soon as possible.
Xie Yaer was equally nervous, but she was already drenched in sweat. The fear that came to her later made her helpless and she could only look at her husband.
"Hold Yoyo, don't let her get any air."
My body was wet and I was afraid that it would make my daughter feel even worse.
Qin Yu, the father, quickly reached out, first opened his chest, and then put his daughter in his arms. Qin Yuan was still in a nightmare and just felt very hot.
After a while, Liu Chunhua tasted the medicine and found that it had indeed cooled down. The three of them then began to hurriedly feed the medicine to Qin Yuan with a spoon.
In the dream, Qin Yuan was soaked all over, with her hair sticking to her face. After entering the hospital, her daughter was taken away from her arms. The doctor quickly measured her temperature again and then started to give her an IV. After placing the little girl on the bed in the ward, Qin Yuan almost knelt on the ground, holding her daughter's small hand. She couldn't let the child move during the IV. A needle was inserted here, which made her feel very painful.
Baby, baby, you must be okay...
It's all my fault. I will never let you get sick again...
She murmured in her heart and begged God to make her daughter luckier. During this seemingly endless time, the temperature of the little girl lying on the hospital bed finally cooled down. Her originally rosy cheeks were no longer hot, and even the hand that Qin Yuan was holding was no longer hot.
The doctor came over to check the child's condition again. When Qin Yuan heard the doctor say that the child's fever had subsided and would gradually get better, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Covered in cold sweat and filled with fear, Qin Yuan lowered her head again and gently touched her daughter's forehead. But the moment she let go, she saw her daughter opened her eyes. Her big eyes, as watery as grapes, blinked twice before she heard her weak voice.
"Mother……"
At this moment, Qin Yuan smiled as if she was exhausted, and in Dayong Dynasty, in Qin Yu's arms, Liu Chunhua and others heard Qin Yuan's weak voice.
"Mother..."
Such a dependent voice, like a little animal calling for its mother, instantly made Xie Yaer burst into tears uncontrollably.
"Yo yo, mother's yo yo, please wake up, okay? Mother, please, please wake up, okay?"
The sound of her crying seemed to penetrate the dream, and Qin Yuan, who was guarding her daughter's bedside, was stunned. She didn't understand where the sound came from, but the next second, she saw her daughter on the bed and said.
"Mom, your mom is calling you too, can you go see her?"
Do you have a mother?
Qin Yuan was stunned, but in this panic, she heard the woman's sobbing and pleading, and even another woman's cry, calling her "my darling"...
Yes, she also has a mother, a grandmother, and a family who loves her.
She wanted to look down at her daughter again, but found that she had disappeared long ago. All she could see was a vast expanse of white mist. Accompanied by the sound of a woman crying, Qin Yuan couldn't help but walk towards the white mist, and then suddenly opened her eyes.
Qin Yuan, who was held by her biological father Qin Yu, opened her eyes and saw her father with an extremely serious expression but red eyes. This father, who had always been tough and tongue-tied, now had bloodshot eyes. He blinked excitedly and his lips trembled when he saw her wake up.
Then Qin Yuan saw her mother Xie Yaer crying like rain, and her grandmother who was trying to appear calm even though her eyes were red.
Feeling a little weak, Qin Yuan realized belatedly that she might be sick.
Maybe she was too happy to see her daughter recently and went out frequently, or maybe she had already fallen ill from the cold wind the first day she saw her daughter, but she was so happy to see her daughter these days that she suppressed the illness. Now she suddenly fell ill, which seemed to have scared the people at home.
"Mother...Grandma."
She called out, her voice as weak as a kitten's meow, causing Xie Yaer to choke up and nod, unable to utter a word.
When Liu Chunhua heard the child calling for grandma, she knew the medicine was working and responded immediately.
"Hey, hey, grandma is here, don't be afraid, grandma is always watching over you."
This old woman, who had seen many life and death separations, was choked with sobs at this moment. The belated fear enveloped her, causing her fingers to tremble as she stretched out her hand to touch Qin Yuan.
But the hand she extended did not touch it. She wanted to take it back, but Qin Yuan took the initiative to hold it back.
"I'm fine~" Qin Yuan forced a smile to comfort her grandmother and mother, and then looked at her own father.
"Daddy, if your hands keep shaking, I'll be scared and fall."
That's right, Qin Yu didn't say anything, but his hands holding the child were shaking. After hearing what his daughter said, he quickly adjusted his arms and tried hard not to let himself tremble. But when he thought that there was a chance that he would lose his daughter, his fear occupied his brain and made his body out of control.
Qin Yuan knew that she had scared everyone, so she stopped talking and just looked at the three people with pitiful eyes, and was also stared at by the three people at the same time.
She didn't know that it had been more than an hour since they discovered that she had a fever. During this period of time, the three of them were almost surrounded by fear. Not to mention inside the house, there were also several people guarding outside.
They didn't know that Youyou had woken up yet. Qin Shu was smart and felt a little guilty at this moment.
"Dad, do you think Yoyo's illness has something to do with all those good things she gave our family? If we don't have those, will Yoyo not get sick?"
Youyou is often breastfed by his wife and sleeps in the second room. Even though she is his own child, Qin Shu has never spoiled her so much. What he said at this moment made Qin Dali and Qin Shan feel uncomfortable.
"I don't know, but Yoyo will be fine." Qin Dali wanted to smoke the welding cigarette. His hands and feet were obviously cold at this moment, but he was stubborn and didn't leave. He just stood outside the door, waiting for an answer.
Qin Shan was equally stubborn. The three of them were dressed warmly. Several children from the family came several times, but were then driven away by them. However, they all three knew that no one in the Qin family would sleep tonight until the news of Youyou's recovery spread.
Yoyo had just been thinking about staying at home, and everything seemed to be getting better. Why did God have to play such a joke on her?
Qin Shan lowered his head, feeling unhappy. He thought, "Everyone worked hard on the millstone during the day, but what good did it do to the family? If it made Youyou sick, they'd rather not have it!" At worst, they could just go hunting in the woods during the winter. Life would be fine.
I've heard passing Taoist priests say before that when gods come down to earth to bestow miracles on mankind, they have to consume their own energy. Yoyo recently took out these things. Will it harm her body?
The three of them speculated, but said no more.
In the room, after confirming that Qin Yuan's temperature had dropped and her body was normal, Qin Yu was driven out and Qin Yuan was stuffed into the quilt, with her mother on her left and her grandmother on her right.
"How's Yoyo?"
As soon as Qin Yu came out, he was surrounded by his father and older brothers, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, the temperature has dropped. It's okay. It's okay."
The most frightening thing about fever is that it persists. Some people may die from the fever, and if a child's temperature remains high for a long time, he or she may become a fool.
Yoyo had a fever for an hour and took medicine as soon as possible, so he should be fine.
Qin Dali and the others finally felt relieved and looked at their son and asked.
"Your mother is taking care of you in there?"
Qin Yu nodded.
"Mother and my wife are taking care of me in there. They won't let me stay in there. Dad, I'll go boil some water. In case I need water, I have to have it."
When he said that, everyone nodded. No one could sleep after something like this happened.
"Let's go to the kitchen together. Big brother, go back to the house and talk to your wives first. Don't let them worry."
Yoyo is the baby of the family, and everyone is worried about him if he gets sick.
Qin Shan and Qin Shu nodded, and hurried back to their house to tell them the news that Youyou's fever had subsided. This made Wang Pandi and Zhou Yan breathe a sigh of relief, as did their children. Now that they knew Youyou was fine, they all smiled.
But after the two of them finished their explanation, they went back to the kitchen to guard. It was hard to sleep tonight.
In the main room, after her husband left, Wang Pandi sat there blankly for a long time. Qin Yue hugged her mother's arm and leaned over. Her eldest brother and younger brother had already left, leaving only the mother and daughter.
"Mom, Yoyo will be fine, right?"
She liked her cousin the most because she was the most well-behaved and smartest child she had ever met.
"She'll be fine, of course. Your cousin is the reincarnation of a fairy, God's own daughter. She'll be fine, fine, fine."
Wang Pandi didn't know whether he was saying this to comfort himself or others, but after he said it, his eyes turned red and tears fell.
"This is the first time she's had a fever in her life. She hasn't slept with me these past few days. I can't see her even if I want to. I feel so bad..."
Qin Yue did the same. She quickly took a handkerchief to wipe her mother's tears. She also missed her sister. In the past, her sister would come to sleep with them every two or three days. Although her mother would always stay with her all night long when her sister slept in her own room, she could see that her mother was happy.
Now that my sister is sick, my mother can't see her, so she's naturally heartbroken...
"Don't be sad, mother. You will be able to see your sister tomorrow. She will be fine..."
The comforter and the comforted switched places. Wang Pandi pounded her rat skin blanket. She had thought Youyou would come to sleep with her again, so she specially saved the rat skin to make this blanket. But she hadn't come in the past few days, and she felt sad.
The situation in the second house was similar. Qin Feng'er looked at her mother crying and thought that her beautiful third sister-in-law must look pretty when she cried. However, her own mother was chubby, and her face didn't look that pretty when she cried.
"Mom, don't cry. What if you see Yoyo tomorrow and she asks you why your eyes are so red?"
She tried to comfort her mother, but Zhou Yan cried even harder.
"I'm crying. Youyou was raised by my breasts. Even if I'm not her biological mother, I'm almost like her. Now she's sick, and I can't bear to see her. I don't know what's wrong with her. Doesn't it hurt my heart? If Youyou had slept with me these days, she would definitely not have gotten sick..."
When she said this, Qin Feng'er quickly covered her mother's mouth.
"Mom, please don't dare say that. Auntie is very kind. I know you love Yoyo, but I must be the most saddened by Yoyo's illness. Please don't say such words that will hurt Auntie's heart..."
Zhou Yan knew this in her heart, so she could only shut her mouth, but her tears slid down her daughter's fingers, and she looked very embarrassed.
In the end, Qin Feng'er had no choice but to let her mother cry for a while, and then she coaxed her mother to lie down, saying that she would go see Yoyo tomorrow. As for whether she fell asleep, it was really hard to say...
Originally, Qin Feng'er already lived in the same room with Qin Yue. After all, the two girls had a lot to talk about. But since her father didn't come back today, Qin Feng'er stayed here to accompany her mother.
Qin Yuan strangely felt an indescribable joy in the gazes of her grandmother and mother. It was the kind of feeling that made her heart feel sour and unbearable, yet filled with happiness.
She used to want to die and go find her daughter, but now, looking at the two people beside her who were worried about her, she only felt that she was surrounded by favoritism, and her heart was filled with a feeling of happiness that made her want to cry.
Her body was still a little sore, and Qin Yuan lay between the two of them without saying a word. Liu Chunhua and Xie Yaer also did not say anything. This scene seemed particularly warm.
As if every minute and every second was lengthening and she was feeling a different kind of preference, Qin Yuan was once again invaded by fatigue. But this time before going to bed, she obediently told her grandmother and mother that she was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.
She fell asleep, but she didn't know that Liu Chunhua and Xie Yaer were staring blankly until dawn, and they both stayed awake all night until Qin Yuan woke up again.
The moment she woke up, her mother Xie Yaer's forehead came close to hers. Their foreheads touched. Feeling that her daughter's body was no longer hot, Xie Yaer smiled with relief, but the smile was faint and carried a bit of guilt.
"Oh, I was really scared last night. If your grandma hadn't taken the medicine your friend gave you, I really don't know what to do..."
Xie Yaer always thought she was smart, but she would often panic when something happened to her daughter. The more she cherished her daughter, the more at a loss she would be.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I scared you."
Seeing the faint blue color under her mother's eyes, Qin Yuan knew that she had not slept all night. She didn't know yet that from now on, every time she slept, someone from the Qin family would be guarding outside.
"Silly Yoyo, it's Mom who should apologize to you. It's Mom's fault for not taking good care of you and making you sick."
Xie Yaer gently brushed away the hair from her daughter's forehead, as gentle as water, which made Liu Chunhua, who was standing by, feel soft-hearted. After all, Xie Yaer was only twenty years old.
"It's my fault. I must have caught a cold when we were out playing." Qin Yuan was talking about the day when she had her first official phone call with her daughter, which was six days ago. She had stayed in the snow for half an hour. If she hadn't been so excited about her daughter, she would have fallen ill long ago.
She turned her head to look at her grandmother, her voice still soft and sounding weak.
"Grandma, it's my fault. I made you worry."
Her little hand stretched out to her grandmother, and was then held in Liu Chunhua's palm. How could she blame her granddaughter? She said softly.
"Don't say you're not good. It's normal for people to get sick. It's your mother and I who didn't take good care of you. You're only five years old, what do you know?"
She said this and lowered her voice again.
"Yoyo, you really have to tell grandma seriously this time, is your illness related to the things you brought down from heaven? If these things make grandma's sweetheart sick, grandma would rather not have them. Yoyo, don't lie to grandma. Your family is very worried about your illness this time. If it is related to those things, grandma doesn't want them, she only wants you."
Although she knew that these things could change everything at home, Liu Chunhua's first thought was to give up everything as long as Qin Yuan was fine.
This irrational partiality made Qin Yuan feel even softer in her heart. She gently rubbed her grandmother's palm with her fingers and said softly.
"Grandma, it's really nothing. I got sick because I sneaked out and spent a long time in the snow. Look, I'm fine now after taking the medicine. Don't worry about me anymore."
She was trying to comfort the old lady who was so kind to her, but she didn't know that Xie Yaer beside her was also worried. She was actually a little uneasy when she heard this.
But they are all willing to believe Qin Yuan and believe that Qin Yuan will not deceive them.
"Okay, grandma believes you this time, but you still have to change sleeping rooms every day. I was worried that your family would find out about your situation, and now your mother is tired of taking care of you alone. I will tell your eldest and second aunts that when you recover, you can continue to sleep with them, okay?"
This was to resume the previous habit of keeping watch for Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but Xie Yaer on the side spoke first.
"Mom, I want to thank my eldest and second sisters-in-law first. They've been worried about Yoyo. It's my fault for not taking good care of Yoyo. Their children are all healthy and they know how to take care of people better than I do. I'll trouble you to worry about Yoyo in the future."
Even though she was reluctant, Xie Yaer knew that her daughter's illness was terrifying enough. She would rather let go and let her family continue to keep watch than let Qin Yuan get into trouble again.
“…” I don’t actually need anyone to keep watch.
Alas, Qin Yuan's hesitant words were silenced by her mother's caring and guilty eyes. Seeing how well-behaved she was, Liu Chunhua also smiled and patted her arm.
"In fact, your eldest and second aunts have been eagerly waiting for you to come live with them these past few days. Oh, your mother has also worked hard for the family, and your grandmother and your eldest and second aunts will also take good care of you. Don't you like your eldest and second aunts?"
Liu Chunhua asked this deliberately, and Qin Yuan of course liked it.
"I like it! The eldest aunt is very gentle and hums beautiful music. The second aunt's body is soft and nice to touch."
She immediately shook her head and spoke well of her two aunts, but her words were so innocent that both Liu Chunhua and Xie Yaer couldn't help laughing.
Wang Pandi does have a soft voice, speaks softly, sings beautifully, and is the best at coaxing children.
As for Zhou Yan, she gave birth to three children after marrying into the Qin family. She first breastfed Qin Feng'er for three years, and before she lost weight, she breastfed Qin Yuan for another three years. So she often ate good food to nourish her body. Although she is weaned now, her body is always plump and soft, and she still has the fragrance of milk. No wonder children like her.
"Okay, that's the arrangement from now on. You have to take care of yourself and get better first, okay?"
Liu Chunhua was happy now.
However, the child was sick and could not leave the bed. Liu Chunhua got out of bed and arranged for Qin Yuan to take the medicine for the second time. Xie Yaer stayed here with Qin Yuan.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Chunhua came out, she saw Wang Pandi and Zhou Yan walking back and forth outside the house. When they saw their mother-in-law, they walked over with shining eyes.
"Mom, Yoyo, are you okay?"
"Mom, can we go see Yoyo later?"
The two really treated Youyou as their own child and were extremely worried at this moment. When Liu Chunhua nodded, they were both happy and hurriedly accompanied their mother-in-law to the kitchen to get hot water, some for Qin Yuan to wipe her face and some for her to drink.
Qin Yuan was lying in bed when she finally saw her aunt and second aunt again. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Eldest aunt! Second aunt!"
She called for help obediently, and her soft appearance made Wang Pandi and Zhou Yan both exclaim and come over to look at her. They were relieved after seeing from her body and expression that Qin Yuan was getting better.
After that, Xie Yaer, her biological mother, didn't have to worry about feeding her medicine. She leaned in her biological mother's arms, and her eldest uncle fed her the medicine by hand, while her second aunt coaxed her from the side, which made Qin Yuan a little shy.
However, Qin Yuan's improvement made the Qin family finally breathe a sigh of relief. Even the children in the family, although they did not see Qin Yuan, were happy when they heard that Qin Yuan was better.
But there were still things to do at home, so Liu Chunhua asked her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law to accompany Qin Yuan, and then went to tell her son.
Yoyoyo's family took care of him, so they arranged for his three sons to go to the county again.
"Send the letter again this time, and bring some goat milk cakes from the county. Here's the money."
She gave the prepared change to her son. Liu Chunhua said that the goat milk cake was a specialty of Ming County. It was a soft cake made by continuously steaming goat milk. It had a rich and sweet taste and melted in the mouth. The goat milk cake was meant to be brought to Qin Yuan.
"Yeah." Qin Yu nodded. Qin Shan and Qin Shu beside him didn't say anything, and then quickly left the Qin family.
After Qin Yu walked out the door, he looked back frequently, which made Qin Shan and Qin Shu sigh and pat their brother's shoulders after seeing him.
"I have mom and other people at home to take care of you, so nothing will happen."
Qin Yu nodded gloomily and left home.
Qin Dali was also arranged to find Qin Shi. After all, he had promised Youyou yesterday that he would arrange the stone mill in the yard today. Youyou couldn't leave the room these days, but he still had to do what he had to do.
Everyone in the family was busy. Qin Yuan ate the egg custard and medicine, and then fell into a drowsy sleep. Before going to bed, she felt fortunate that she had made an appointment with her daughter to talk to her after noon, otherwise Huanhuan would have noticed something.
The Qin family was destined to be quiet this morning. The three Qin brothers came to the Zhang Mansion again in the cold wind and snow. The doorman of County Magistrate Zhang's house did not expect that the Qin family members would come again in less than three days, so he quickly welcomed them in.
County Magistrate Zhang received them personally. Fortunately, there was nothing to do in the county government office during the winter. The snow fell a little early this year. In fact, County Magistrate Zhang was a little worried that the excessive wind and snow this year would cause a snow disaster, so he would occasionally take people from the government office to patrol around the city, instructing the people to repair their houses, etc.
Knowing that it was another letter to the Xie family, County Magistrate Zhang naturally did not dare to neglect it. He quickly collected the letter and sent it out. However, when the three members of the Qin family were having a meal, he noticed that Qin Yu looked strange. After all, he was the husband of the daughter of the Xie family, so he asked a few more questions.
Qin Yu was not good at speaking, but seeing that the county magistrate cared about her family, she did not hide anything and told him about her daughter's high fever. Although the fever had gone down, Qin Yu was still worried. When County Magistrate Zhang heard this, he was also very worried. He did not expect that the three members of the Qin family came to Zhang's house empty-handed, and when they left, they took the county doctor with them. Not only that, there were also medicinal herbs specially arranged by Mrs. Zhang, as well as some tonics for the children.
These should have been rejected, but the three members of the Qin family were all rural men. When they met a man as eloquent as County Magistrate Zhang, they had no room to refuse. In the end, they could only take the doctor back to the village, thinking of checking their daughter's health.
The three of them were in a hurry when they went back. They left early in the morning, even though they had not slept all night. When they arrived home, it was two o'clock in the afternoon. The doctor was almost carried back by three men. After seeing Qin Yuan, he began to examine the child.
It was the first time Qin Yuan had seen an old man with such a long beard! The doctor had gray hair and a long, beautiful beard that reached all the way to his chest.
"Now that the child's fever has subsided, he needs to rest and recuperate. Children are weak and cannot take too many medicines. Madam Zhang specially sent some tonics today, but don't use too much. Just boil some bird's nest and drink it."
The doctor was almost certain that Qin Yuan's health had improved, so he was afraid that the Qin family had never seen good things and had given them all to the child, so he specially ordered the most harmless bird's nest for the child.
"Thank you, doctor. We understand." Liu Chunhua was relieved when she heard that her granddaughter's illness had really improved.
Qin Yuan stared at the doctor's beard with eager eyes, which made the doctor laugh. He moved closer intentionally. The long white beard was right in front of Qin Yuan, which made her unable to help but reach out her hand and touch it gently, followed by a "wow" sound.
"Wow!!!" What a shiny, smooth and silky beard!
The doctor also laughed happily, stroked his beautiful beard, and there was a hint of pride in his words.
"I've had this beautiful beard for years, little one, you'd better take good care of yourself."
The Qin family treated girls so preciously that the doctor looked at them differently.
"Yes, Grandpa Miracle Doctor, don't worry, I will definitely take the medicine and recover!"
The words "Grandpa, a miracle doctor" made the doctor laugh so hard that he was overjoyed. After all, children speak sincerely and you can't lie.
In the end, the doctor did not prescribe any medicine. He just picked some tonic medicines from the Zhang family and boiled them together with the bird's nest.
When the Qin family saw the doctor off, they wanted to pay the medical fee, but they found out that County Magistrate Zhang had already paid it. They felt a little grateful to County Magistrate Zhang.
After hearing the doctor's words, the Qin family finally felt relieved. In the afternoon, Qin Yuan's eldest aunt and second aunt were still with her in the room. Qin Yuan took this opportunity to take out her mobile phone and quickly made a video call to her daughter.
As expected, neither my aunt nor my second aunt could see this video call.
Qin Huan immediately answered his mother's call.
"mom!"
Her eyes lit up. This was the case every time she saw her mother. She immediately turned on the video to observe Qin Yuan's condition. She found that her mother looked a little tired, and her face was even a little pale. Then she looked at her mother's clothes and found that she was wrapped very thickly.
It wasn't like this before...
"Mom, are you sick?"
She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment and wanted to hide it, but facing her daughter's anxious and worried eyes, she could only nod. She opened her mouth, but found that her voice was a little soft and hoarse.
"I had a fever yesterday, but luckily I had your medicine, Huanhuan. I'm fine now. The doctor just left and said I'm fine now and I just need to take care of myself."
She didn't dare to talk about her illness in detail, for fear of worrying her daughter. Qin Huan really moved closer to the camera, and there was fear in his eyes.
"Mom, are you really okay? Are you feeling better? You don't have a thermometer here, and I was so busy giving you medicine last time that I couldn't take your temperature. How are you now? Are you still feverish? Are the medicines helping?"
Qin Huan was holding a cell phone, but was already walking around the ward worriedly. In the camera, Qin Yuan could see the walls of the ward moving back and forth. The constantly changing background was as chaotic as Qin Huan's worried heart.
"I've taken the medicine, I'm really fine. Huanhuan, don't worry, and stop moving around. You're going to make me dizzy."
As soon as she said this, Qin Huan stopped immediately, his eyes red with anxiety, and for the first time he hated himself for not being able to be with his mother.
"It's really okay, Huanhuan. Look, didn't I call you right away? I don't have a fever anymore, and my temperature is back to normal. Trust me."
The Qin family has been in chaos all night long. Qin Yuan didn't want to worry her daughter so she waited until now to call her, but she didn't expect her daughter to notice it at the first moment.
“…”
Qin Huan bit her lip and stared at her mother in the video. Her gaze remained on Qin Yuan for a long time. After making sure that Qin Yuan's condition was not seriously ill, she spoke, her voice tense.
"Then you must take good care of yourself. If you have any problems, take medicine immediately. Mom, you are too far away from me. I can't protect you, so you must protect yourself, okay? I don't want to lose you again."
She finally said these words with red eyes. From the time her mother lay in bed five years ago until now, Qin Huan has been tense. Now when she heard that Qin Yuan was sick, she was overwhelmed with fear and sadness.
Qin Yuan quickly comforted her daughter, who looked almost like her mother in this life.
"My dear daughter, don't worry. I will always protect myself first. I talk to you every day. This time I got sick because of the first video call with you. I was caught in a cold wind outside. I haven't left the house since I came back from that time. Huanhuan, I will get better. Don't be afraid. Mom will not leave you."
How could mom leave you again?
Qin Yuan would never allow such a thing to happen, and she said it in a firm tone.
Qin Huan's tears finally fell. In front of her mother, she could never control her emotions. Tears fell like pearls from a broken string, and she nodded aggrievedly.
"I know, I know you won't leave me. Stop talking and have a good rest. I...I just want to look at you like this."
Qin Huan couldn't care about anything else at the moment. He just looked at his mother in the camera. It was a smaller version of his mother. Her hair was still a little dry and yellow, her cheeks were white and tender, and her eyes had become a little dull due to her illness. Qin Huan seemed to not be able to see enough of her.
"……Um."
Qin Yuan didn't say anything more, as saying more would make her daughter more worried.
On the seventh day after they started their time-space call, the two of them looked at each other quietly, which was a rare occasion. There was no eagerness to understand each other, no chattering, only the sound of each other's breathing flowing in the phone. Qin Huan in the camera looked at her mother without blinking, and Qin Yuan did not object. She gave her daughter a comforting smile, and then just held the phone, the two of them stared at each other in a daze for a long time.
When the mobile phone video was suddenly disconnected and his mother's appearance disappeared instantly, Qin Huan immediately stood up from the ward and rushed out to the big pharmacy outside.
This time she rushed into the big pharmacy and bought all the cold medicines including a thermometer, a total of two kilograms of medicine, which she had directly delivered.
She knew that the cold medicine she gave her mother last time should be enough, but she was still worried.
After doing all this, he pulled up his mother's hand on the hospital bed as if to comfort himself and said softly.
"Mom, you're going to be okay, right?"
Qin Yuan watched the video call end before she finally relaxed. Her daughter's eyes had been filled with worry, as if she would disappear if she didn't look at her for even a second longer. As a mother, how could Qin Yuan bear to see her child look at her like that? She felt so sad she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare show it in front of her daughter.
The moment the video call was hung up, her tears fell almost at the same time. Afraid that her aunt and second aunt would worry, she quickly turned her head and buried her face in her down jacket.
Grandma left the down jacket in the room. Qin Yuan rubbed the soft down jacket and her tears stained it. She was obviously never a weak person, but now she couldn't help crying.
After crying for just over ten minutes, Qin Yuan heard a message on her mobile phone saying "Mother and Daughter Express Delivery". She quickly clicked to receive it.
The next second, a lot of medicines appeared out of thin air and were piled on the bed, which scared Wang Pandi and Zhou Yan who were making clothes nearby. However, they had heard their mother-in-law tell them in advance, so they were surprised but looked at Xie Yaer first.
Xie Yaer saw the things on her daughter's bed at a glance, came over and gently touched her daughter's hair, and found that her daughter's eyes were slightly red, knowing that her daughter was crying.
"Did the fairy give this to you? Did she know you were sick?"
Is that why my daughter was crying? Because her best friend saw her sick?
"Yeah." Qin Yuan nodded obediently and looked at the many cold medicines of completely different brands. She even saw cold medicines for adults, which was enough to prove how panicked her daughter was over there.
"These are medicines for fever and colds."
She spoke softly, stretching out her small hands to touch the pills one by one, but her heart felt even more bitter. She wasn't a good mother, actually making her daughter so worried...
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan took off the warm jade she was wearing in her arms and gave it directly to her daughter.
She knew her daughter must be watching her phone, waiting for her news.
When Qin Huan heard the ring of his cell phone in the hospital, he immediately picked up the phone. He didn't expect his mother to give him anything valuable, just a random gift to show that he had received the medicine.
As a result, when Qin Huan clicked to receive the item, a piece of warm jade with a rope and even human body temperature suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand. He finally couldn't stop crying. He smelled the pear scent on the warm jade and thought of the pear-scented frostbite cream he had bought for his mother before. Then he burst into tears in grievance.
Her mother wanted to say that she would be fine, but Qin Huan couldn't help but worry. Holding the warm jade in her hand, Qin Huan kept praying to the heavens, hoping that God would not let them be separated again...
At the same time, in Kyoto, where the Great Yong Dynasty was located, a messenger from the Zhang family came to Xie's house. The doorman of the Xie family learned that the letter brought by the messenger from the Zhang family was actually from Ming County, thousands of miles away. He immediately knew who the letter came from, so he quickly settled the messenger and then notified the manager.
When the steward heard that someone was coming from Ming County, he hurried to receive the messenger from the Zhang family. When he learned that it was a letter from Ming County, he looked at the handwriting on it and recognized it as the handwriting of the young lady. While ordering the servants to entertain the messenger, he hurriedly delivered the letter to the head of the family.
The Xie family is a large clan with many branches. Six years ago, a girl from one of the branches that was implicated happened to end up in Ming County. It was like a phoenix falling into the forest, which sounds extremely tragic. The head of the family had previously instructed people to take good care of that girl, but unexpectedly, that girl actually sent a letter.
The steward walked through the corridor, surrounded by swaying bamboos. When he arrived at the master's yard, he found that it was full of green bamboos. The servants were also busy and quiet. Two guards were standing outside the study. They saw the steward nod, opened the door sideways and let him in.
As soon as he entered the door, he was hit by the fragrant orchid scent. The hot air made the steward feel a little hot for a moment, but he still saw the head of the family kneeling at a low table and painting.
He moved over carefully, knelt on his knees and presented the letter, lowering his head so that he could only see his knees.
"Master, there is a letter from Ming County."
