Chapter 34 Drinking Hot and Sour Soup



The Song family, who had just relaxed, became panicked again.

"Oh no! The third brother must have known that Tian En was missing and went out to look for him!"

"Ah? What should I do?!"

After all, Song Jianye's leg hadn't healed yet, and if he went up the mountain, they couldn't even imagine the consequences. The Song family didn't dare delay any further and quickly went out to look for him, carrying a kerosene lamp.

"Boss, go find the team members to help you find it."

If possible, Feng Guizhi didn't want to trouble others like this, but this was related to Song Jianye's safety after all. More people meant more strength, and the search would be faster, so at the moment, she didn't have time to think too much about it.

Song Aiguo was asked to call people from the team to help look for it, and Feng Guizhi, Yang Yulan, Chen Xiuxiu and others hurried to the mountain.

The younger ones were left at home and asked to be watched by Li Qingyan. After so many incidents, they were really scared.

"Third brother..."

"Jianye, where are you?"

"Jianye, Jianye..."

Yang Yulan clutched her hand over her heart as she searched. She'd spent the entire night searching for Tian'en, Baoya, and the others, her heart aching. Just when she finally relaxed, something happened to Song Jianye again. Now her heart was pounding, and she was terrified.

The people in the team were called up by Song Aiguo again. When they heard that it was Song Jianye who ran out to find Song Tianen this time, they couldn't help but think in their hearts that he was so troublesome even with his lame leg.

But after all, they were a large group of people, so they couldn't just ignore it, so they all got up and went to look for it.

"Jianye~!"

The brigade was filled with shouts.

The little ones who were left at home were all very worried. They sat in the yard, anxiously waiting for the adults to come back.

Song Tianen was already scared to tears, especially because he felt very guilty, thinking that if it weren't for him, his father wouldn't have left. Thinking of his father's legs, Tianen suppressed his tears and dared not cry out loud. He lowered his head and bit his lip tightly, tears streaming down his face.

Baoya also frowned worriedly at this time.

Feng Guizhi, Yang Yulan and others shouted and searched all the way. Thinking that Song Jianye might have gone to the back mountain to look for him, they also went up the mountain.

"Jianye~!"

Not long after, they heard a response. Yang Yulan suddenly became excited and shouted loudly again:

"Jianye!"

Several people quickly ran towards the place where the sound came from, and with the help of a little moonlight, they saw

Song Jianye was in a small ravine just ahead.

"Jianye!"

"Yulan, mother." Song Jianye was lying in the ravine. He didn't know where his crutches had fallen. His broken leg was throbbing with pain. He tried many times to stand up but failed.

Seeing Yang Yulan and the others coming over, Song Jianye felt a lot of complicated emotions in his heart.

Yang Yulan quickly ran over and asked him nervously and worriedly, "Are you okay? How's your leg? Did you hurt it?"

Song Jianye didn't hide it from her: "A little, but it doesn't matter. What about Tianen? Have you found Tianen?"

"Found it, it's at home now."

Song Jianye felt relieved, as long as he found it.

After a while, Song Aimin and Song Jianshe came over and helped him down the mountain. Chen Xiuxiu and Sun Suyun went to inform everyone in the team that they had found him, and after repeatedly thanking him, they followed him back.

After arriving home, the children rushed over and looked at Song Jianye worriedly: "Third Uncle..."

Song Jianye smiled at them soothingly: "You must be tired, go back to sleep."

Song Tianen stood aside, not saying a word, but his tears fell even harder. Baoya also didn't say anything, but stood beside Song Tianen and looked at Song Jianye worriedly.

"Is your leg injured?" Feng Guizhi asked a little worriedly.

She didn't blame Song Jianye. After all, knowing that her child was missing, who could really remain indifferent? Many times, in fact, she knew it in her heart, but she could not do much about it.

"It's okay." Song Jianye looked around apologetically and said, "I've been so tired of you today. Go back to sleep."

"We are all family, why are you saying these things?" Song Aiguo patted his shoulder and said.

Without saying anything more, Song Aimin and Song Jianshe helped him into the west room, and then everyone quickly washed up and went back to bed.

Yang Yulan also quickly fetched some water, gave Baoya and Tianen a simple rinse, and then let them go to bed.

Afterwards, she wiped Song Jianye again with a towel dipped in water, and saw that the bone at his knee was protruding a little.

Yang Yulan instantly became nervous: "Jianye, what's wrong with your leg?"

She put down the towel and touched it gently, and found that the bone was indeed a little dislocated.

"It doesn't really matter. It's already like this anyway."

Yang Yulan burst into tears: "What are you talking about? What do you mean it doesn't matter? This is your leg. Do you still want to stand up in the future?"

When Song Jianye saw her crying, he

I panicked and apologized quickly: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. It's too late today. There's no one at the clinic. It doesn't hurt too much. Let's go tomorrow. Everyone should be tired today."

Yang Yulan also remembered that the whole family was exhausted today, and she felt a little guilty, but looking at Song Jianye's legs, she was worried: "Are you really okay? Don't hide it from me."

"It's okay. Even if I'm not doing this for myself, I have to think about you and the two children. I won't hide it from you." Song Jianye said with a bit of guilt:

"I shouldn't have rushed out impulsively. Not only did I fail to help, but I became a burden instead."

Although Yang Yulan did not support him going out to look for her in her heart, if she put herself in his shoes, if she was lying in bed with a broken leg and heard that Tian'en had run away in the back mountain, she would definitely go out to look for him at all costs, even if her leg was broken again.

So, after thinking about it this way, she couldn't blame Song Jianye. Instead, she felt sorry for him because he had injured his leg again.

After a long day of work and a night of hard work, Yang Yulan was exhausted. She simply washed herself and went to bed. She couldn't help but touch Song Jianye's injured leg, feeling a pang of heartache.

Although she was very tired, Yang Yulan's mind was in a mess and she couldn't sleep, so she whispered to Song Jianye what happened at the Ma family.

Song Jianye knew that it was Ma Yuzhu and his brothers who deliberately threw Tianen into the mountains, and he was so angry that he was shaking.

Yang Yulan quickly soothed him a few times and talked about the latter part. But Song Jianye thought about it and still felt that it was not enough.

What if, what if Tian En had an accident in the mountains, what would they do? Just an apology and a few dozen work points were too cheap for them.

But he also knew in his heart that Ma Yuzhu and the others were still children after all, and Tian'en had returned safely, so there would definitely not be any severe punishment.

But he was scared.

Yang Yulan also understood his idea, but they couldn't ask for more. She thought about it and told Feng Guizhi about her previous plan:

"Although we don't care about these work points, Mrs. Tian certainly does. These work points can cost her her life. Mother said that she won't be able to bear these work points for at least half a month, if not a month."

"Although she loves her grandchildren, compared to the work points and food, Ma Yuzhu and the others will inevitably receive a few beatings and punishments. I hope they will learn a lesson from this incident.

Song Jianye knew that it was not easy to do this, so he sighed in his heart, hoping that this would be the last time.

The atmosphere in the room also became a little depressed. Yang Yulan gently massaged his legs and told him something worth being happy about. Thinking of Baoya, Yang Yulan's mouth also brought a little smile.

"Today, Baoya girl spoke and called me and called our mother."

Song Jianye was surprised and couldn't help getting excited. His voice was filled with joy. "Really? He really spoke and called you?"

"Yeah." Yang Yulan responded with a smile. This was the only happy event of the day.

"Okay, wait until tomorrow, I want Baoya to scream too."

"Okay~" The two of them finally felt a little happier.

"Go to sleep."

Outside, the moon was high in the sky, casting a light silvery glow on the ground. Slowly, a dark cloud drifted over, blocking out the moonlight.

Baoya was dreaming again.

The scene in today's dream was the same as the one she had dreamed about when she was looking for Song Tianen before. However, when the scene switched, she was woken up by Song Bowen and did not see the rest of the dream.

And now, she saw it again.

Only when the limping figure in the dream approached did Baoya realize that it was Song Jianye.

Then she followed Song Jianye back on the trail, watching him struggle up the mountain on crutches, searching for Song Tianen. She also saw him accidentally miss a step and fall into a ravine. He held his leg in agony, and tried many times but couldn't stand up.

Baoya cried out of heartache and wanted to go forward to help Song Jianye up, but she couldn't touch him. She could only stay aside anxiously, and her tears fell even harder.

Feng Guizhi and her friends arrived later and took Song Jianye home. Later, she saw Song Jianye being taken to the clinic, where the doctor said his leg bones were deformed, and even after the bones healed, he would still limp.

Song Jianye's face was a little gray, and he accepted it calmly. Yang Yulan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but shed tears. Song Tianen blamed himself when he found out, thinking it was all because of him, Song Jianye's leg couldn't be healed.

After this incident became known, everyone said that if he had not gone out and fallen that day, perhaps this incident would not have happened.

Baoya couldn't help crying. If, if she hadn't woken up and seen what happened next, maybe, maybe she would have

To prevent Dad from falling, so that his leg can get better.

Baoya slept uneasily all night and woke up in the morning with tear marks all over her face.

.......

Although we were busy until very late yesterday, everyone got up at the appointed time, except for a few younger ones who were too tired to get up.

Feng Guizhi went into the kitchen and started to make breakfast. Last night, no one had time to cook at that time, so the adults just ate some dry buns and drank some water. The children each made a bowl of malted milk and drank it, but didn't eat anything else.

So Feng Guizhi made a little more food this morning, as Song Jianshe came back with a lot of things these two days.

First, she poured water into the large pot to boil some porridge, then steamed some steamed buns and fermented soybeans. Then, she poured oil into the small pot, baked a few pancakes, and boiled half a pot of hot and sour soup.

That’s not all. After stewing a bowl of egg custard for Tiantian, Feng Guizhi took another large bowl, beat four eggs in it at once, added some water and stirred it, then put some seasonings in it and put it in the pot to start stewing.

Recently, the hens at home have returned to normal. They basically lay about six eggs a day, sometimes five, sometimes seven, but I rarely see eight.

Feng Guizhi observed for a while and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the hen, so she didn't go to get medicine.

Now, she basically has two more eggs every day than before, which is quite a lot after a few days. Therefore, Feng Guizhi has become more generous.

When the meal was almost ready, the little ones in the house were called up.

Breakfast was served, with an empty bowl in front of each person, hot and sour soup in the middle, and pancakes in a steamed bun basket next to it. The smaller table also had a large bowl of egg custard, drizzled with two drops of sesame oil and sprinkled with chopped green onions. It was fragrant, soft, and tender, and looked particularly delicious.

The adults' table had a bowl of fermented soybeans, and pancakes with fermented soybeans to go with the rice.

"Eat quickly."

Yang Yulan first served hot and sour soup to the smaller table, one small bowl for each person. Eating the pancakes while drinking the appetizing hot and sour soup was absolutely delicious. Then, having a spoonful of egg custard was guaranteed to make everyone very satisfied.

Baoya took half a pancake, opened her mouth and took a small bite. The pancake was particularly crispy and soft, and the fragrance lingered in her mouth after eating it.

Then he lowered his head to the bowl and took another sip of the hot and sour soup. It was a little sour at first, then a little spicy, and the sour and spicy tastes blended together, making it delicious and appetizing.

"This soup is delicious, sour and spicy.

, and the cakes are delicious too." Yuan Bao couldn't help but mumbled while still eating the cake.

He just can't help but praise delicious food.

In the past, Baoya would nod her head in agreement when hearing such words. But today, after tasting the hot and sour soup, she echoed the words in a soft and crisp voice:

"Yes~"

After a comfortable breakfast, the adults had to go back to work. However, Yang Yulan took the morning off and took Song Jianye to the health center.

When she told Feng Guizhi about this, she frowned worriedly: "How's your leg? Is it serious?"

"Jianye said it's okay, but I'm still worried."

Feng Guizhi nodded and sighed inwardly: "It's okay for Jianshe to stay at home, let him go with us."

Yang Yulan responded.

After all, the family had to eat, and Feng Guizhi had to go to work. After they left, Yang Yulan washed the pots and washed the dirty clothes, then called Song Jianshe and helped Song Jianye to the clinic.

Baoya and Tianen had been guarding the bedside since dinner, and now that they were about to leave, they wanted to follow them.

After Yang Yulan persuaded him several times, he finally agreed.

The health center is at the north end of the village. Everyone is at work at this time, so I didn’t meet many people along the way.

Arriving at the clinic, Yang Laijing, a man in his forties, sat inside. In his early years, he'd been a barefoot doctor, knowledgeable about treating headaches and fevers. Later, when the brigade built a clinic, he became its doctor.

The brigade had found some medical books and other things here, so he would read them whenever he had time, and he learned quite a bit. Usually, anyone in the brigade who was sick would come here for a checkup. If the illness was truly unsuccessful, they would be taken to the town hospital.

However, after all, he was the only doctor in the entire team. Many people came to him for treatment, and he heard a lot of nice and flattering words, so he gradually became more arrogant.

"Haven't I told you many times about your legs? Just lie down and rest. The bones will heal in a few months. Why are you still here?" Yang Laijing sat in front of the table, glanced at Song Jianye and said impatiently.

"Uncle Yang, Jianye had been recuperating in bed as you instructed." Yang Yulan explained, "But yesterday, something happened at home, so Jianye went out and accidentally fell. I think there's something wrong with his bones, so I came to ask you to take a look."

Yang Laijing frowned when he heard this: "Why does he have to go out?"

"Huh? You old Song family is not without people, so why do you have to get rid of a cripple?"

"I told you to take good care of yourself, but you didn't listen. Now you come to me. Am I a doctor at the clinic, or a doctor for your family? I might as well just treat your family." Yang Laijing threw the notebook to the ground and spoke without any mercy.

Song Jianye's expression turned a little ugly, and Yang Yulan felt uncomfortable hearing him calling someone a cripple.

But there was no other way. He was the only doctor in the team. For Song Jianye's leg, Yang Yulan could only suppress her emotions:

"Uncle Yang, you're our team's doctor, and everyone relies on you to treat their illnesses. We were wrong this time, so please take a look. We'll definitely pay more attention next time."

Yang Laijing frowned and wanted to say something, but then Song Jianshe took out two eggs and put them on the table for him.

"Uncle Yang, it's hot now. Take this egg and make some brown sugar eggs to cool down your fever."

Feng Guizhi asked her to bring these eggs before she came. She had already known Yang Laijing's character, so she prepared them.

Yang Laijing was pretty okay before, but he started to change slowly in the past two years. Guessing that he might not be able to say anything good, Feng Guizhi gave Song Jianshe two eggs and asked him to put them in his pocket.

Sure enough, Yang Laijing's expression brightened considerably. He took the egg, opened the drawer, and put it in. He asked as if nothing had happened:

"What's wrong with your leg? Let me take a look."

At least she had seen it, so Yang Yulan felt relieved and quickly rolled up Song Jianshe's pants, revealing the injured leg.

Yang Laijing frowned at the sight; the bone was clearly dislocated. He touched it again, his grip quite firm, causing Song Jianye to grit his teeth and endure the pain.

Yang Laijing's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he said coldly, "It's no use. Your leg bones are dislocated, there's no way to cure it."

Yang Yulan's heart tightened. "Uncle Yang, what does it mean that it can't be cured?"

"There's no cure, that's all there is to it. Even if the bones grow back together, I'll still be lame and won't be able to walk like a normal person."

"Is there no way at all?" Song Jianshe frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"No." After saying that, Yang Laijing looked at Song Jianye and began to accuse him: "I told you to take good care of yourself, but you ignored me and ran away even after your legs were broken. Who do you blame for what happened now?"

Song Jianshe looked at him and his face turned ugly. If he hadn't been holding back, he would have wanted to punch him.

Song Jianye had been silent the entire time, but now, seeing Yang Yulan crying, he comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay to be lame, you can still walk anyway. Let's go, let's go back."

There was no good outcome here, so Song Jianshe supported Song Jianshe and left.

Baoya followed behind, her head lowered as she thought about what she had just said, just like in her dream. She looked back at Yang Laijing, then turned around and followed him back.

On the way, Song Jianshe looked at Song Jianye, then at Yang Yulan, and said, "Just because he can't cure it doesn't mean it's really uncurable. You all know his medical skills. Let's go back to the town and see the hospital there. If that doesn't work, we can go to the city. There must be a doctor with good skills who can cure it."

Song Jianye shook his head: "Forget it, I'm used to it now anyway. It's just a limp, it doesn't matter."

As he said that, he looked at Yang Yulan again and smiled: "As long as Yulan doesn't dislike me, that's fine."

Yang Yulan patted him with tears in her eyes: "What are you talking about."

After returning home, Baoya and Tianen gathered around the bed. Song Tianen couldn't help but wipe away his tears: "I'm sorry... Dad, it's all... all my fault... If you hadn't looked for... for me..."

Song Jianye patted his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This matter has nothing to do with you. You didn't go to the mountains by yourself. Besides, it's your father's business to go there. It's none of your business."

Song Tianen was still crying, feeling extremely guilty.

Baoya next to her also had tears in her eyes. She thought of that dream. If, if she had seen the words that came after that, maybe he would be fine.

Baoya wiped her tears, feeling very sad.

Seeing both the older and younger children crying, Song Jianye felt both distressed and relieved. "Don't cry, Dad is fine. Didn't you hear what your fourth uncle said? The doctor we just met wasn't very skilled. We can go back to town and find a skilled doctor who can cure him."

Song Jianye reached out to wipe away their tears and comforted them softly.

"Really...really, Dad?" Song Tianen asked sobbingly.

"real."

Baoya looked at Song Jianye with her eyes still filled with tears, and took these words to heart. She wiped her face with the back of her hand and stopped crying.

Song Jianye remembered what Yang Yulan said about Baoya talking yesterday, so he reached out and carried Baoya to sit on the bedside: "Girl, your mother said you called her yesterday?"
