"Hmm!" Song Jianye groaned, biting the cloth tightly, and the veins on his forehead popped out.
Although the medicine he drank just now had some effect, it only reduced the pain a little bit. The pain of the broken bones was still very intense, and he was shaking all over.
Behind him, Yang Yulan hugged Song Jianye tightly, tears streaming down her face. Feng Guizhi couldn't bear to watch, so she turned away and wiped her eyes.
"Is it okay, Uncle Zhao?" Song Jianshe's palms were sweaty as he held the stick.
"You hold him down, and I'll take a look."
Zhao Rongsheng touched it, and although his strength was not strong, it still hurt so much that Song Jianye broke out in a cold sweat.
"It's okay." After Zhao Rongsheng touched it and confirmed that the bone was broken, he quickly started to treat it.
No one else dared to disturb him, and Shen Yibei was helping him on the side.
Finally, Zhao Rongsheng took out the wood he had processed over the past two days from the basket and tied it tightly to Song Jianshe's legs.
"Ugh!" Song Jianye felt his eyes go dark and he almost fainted from the pain.
After a long while, Zhao Rongsheng finally tied it up carefully. He was very nervous and tired after working so hard for a while. He wiped the sweat off his face and said to the old Song family:
"Just keep your leg fixed like this. Don't move it. I'll come over here at this time every night for the next few days. Remember, don't move this leg again."
Song Jianshe quickly agreed.
"It's best to combine it with food supplements. If possible, you can make some bone soup for him to drink to nourish him."
"Okay." Feng Guizhi took note of this.
Bone soup isn't hard to make. When Song Jianshe goes to the city, he can bring some back. Or, you can go to town and buy some.
Everything was almost done, Zhao Rongsheng packed up and left with Shen Yibei. Feng Guizhi took a look and quickly took out the things she had prepared in the evening: a small bag of rice and some lotus seeds.
"Uncle Zhao, you have helped us so much, you have to accept it." Feng Guizhi did not give Zhao Rongsheng a chance to refuse and directly stuffed the things into the basket.
Zhao Rongsheng didn't refuse anymore. He nodded and left in the night.
When Shen Yibei left, he glanced into the room twice more. He didn’t see Xiao Baoer today. She should be sleeping soundly at this time, right?
When he returned to the cowshed, Jiang Qiuli was still awake and waiting for him.
We come back.
"Why haven't you slept yet? Go to sleep quickly, and don't wait for me next time." Zhao Rongsheng said with some heartache when he saw the sleepiness on Jiang Qiuli's face.
Jiang Qiuli shook her head. "How's the treatment going?"
"It's tied up. Just observe it for a few more times. It will heal if it's taken good care of."
Jiang Qiuli nodded with relief, got out of bed, went to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot.
"I haven't had time to eat tonight. Come and have dinner, both of you." After work, Zhao Rongsheng started to busy himself with the treatment. He boiled the medicine on a stove, so he and Shen Yibei went there without eating.
Zhao Rongsheng was indeed hungry. After washing his hands, he sat down at the table made of wooden boards and took a bite of the steamed bun.
"Xiaobei, come and eat." Jiang Qiuli called out. She had just eaten and now she took a bowl and started to serve soup to the two of them.
“Here I am.” Shen Yibei also came over after washing his face and hands.
"Why did you cook all of it?" Zhao Rongsheng said as he looked at the soup Jiang Qiuli served.
Today's dinner is a pot of egg soup with wild vegetables and some greens. Although there are not too many seasonings, it tastes very fragrant.
Zhao Rongsheng originally wanted to leave all the eggs for Jiang Qiuli to eat to nourish her body, but Jiang Qiuli was reluctant to eat them herself, so she took three eggs and made a pot of soup.
"Hurry up and eat." Jiang Qiuli placed a bowl of egg soup and a plate of stir-fried vegetables in front of each of them. Although it wasn't particularly good, it was much better than before.
Zhao Rongsheng didn't say anything. Shen Yibei took the bowl and drank slowly, thinking that Baoya's father's leg could be cured, with a faint smile on his face.
.........
After waking up the next day, the first thing Baoya thought of was to see Song Jianye.
Yang Yulan knew what she was thinking and said to her softly, "Dad's leg has started treatment and will be healed soon."
Baoya looked at Song Jianye's legs and began to look forward to it.
During breakfast, Chen Xiuxiu, Sun Suyun, and the others were bound to ask questions, feeling somewhat worried. Yang Yulan simply recounted what happened yesterday and what Zhao Rongsheng had said.
The whole family was very happy to hear that Song Jianye would recover after recuperation.
"Yulan, you have to be more careful this time and don't bump into him again."
"Yes, but you must not move. Even if it is a big deal, the Song family still has us." Thinking of what happened last time, Chen Xiuxiu and Sun Suyun both warned.
“Oh, okay.
"Knowing their concern, Yang Yulan agreed.
After eating, everyone got busy with their own things. The younger ones didn’t have any studies today, so they all ran to the west room to look after Song Jianye spontaneously.
"Uncle San, do you want some water?"
"Uncle San, if you need anything, call me and I'll get it for you."
"And me, and me, let's all help get it."
“…”
Song Jianye couldn't help laughing when he saw the kids gathered around him and looking so active.
He could only lie in bed, unable to continue weaving reed mats. After all, he had just broken a bone the night before, and the wound was still excruciatingly painful. He hadn't slept all night in pain, and now there was a black mark under his eyes. But in his heart, he was happy because his leg was healed.
"No, Uncle San will call you if necessary. Don't you usually learn to read? Then let's teach you in this room today. Uncle will listen here, okay?"
The children all knew that Song Jianye was a patient who needed their care, so when they heard Song Jianye's request, they readily agreed. Even Yuanbao, who usually didn't like studying, frowned for a few seconds before nodding.
The children were busy and ready to start the class. And because Song Jianye was watching, not only did Bowen and Boyu teach more carefully, but even Yuanbao and Tianen studied more seriously.
The day passed quickly. The children did not go out all day. They stayed in the house learning to read. If they were tired, they would play games together. They spent the day in this relaxing way.
It was still around eight or nine o'clock in the evening when Shen Yibei and Zhao Rongsheng came over again. This time, Baoya and Tianen couldn't help but fall asleep.
This time I came here to actually check on him, and also to give Song Jianye some boiled Chinese medicine for his treatment.
On the third day, Zhao Rongsheng came again to check on Song Jianye's leg. The leg had been bandaged and was healing. In fact, he came here just to deliver some medicine.
While he was busy here, Song Jianshe called Shen Yibei aside. Now Song Jianye's leg is basically recovering from recuperation, and the matter of cooperation should be put on the agenda.
"I agreed to the cooperation you proposed last time. Let's split the sales revenue 50-50," said Song Jianshe.
"I don't need that much, just give me three. I'll start looking tomorrow, but if the matsutake is picked too long, the quality will be affected. When you go to the county town, let me know in advance.
Tell me, and I'll pick more."
Song Jianshe always felt that Shen Yibei had a maturity that did not belong to his age when he looked at him. He always considered things very comprehensively. Thinking about his life experience, he probably understood that if one has suffered more hardships, he will always grow up faster than others.
He nodded: "If I leave, I will notify you two days in advance."
Song Jianshe remembered that Baoya and the others didn't run into him every day, so he asked, "If you didn't go to the back mountain, should I go to the cowshed to find you?"
Shen Yibei lowered his head and thought for a while: "Use cloth strips. There is a road to the east of the cowshed that must be passed. You can hang a cloth strip on the tree branch. If you walk for two days, hang two, and three for three days. I will pass by every day and can see it."
"good."
After the cooperation was finalized, Zhao Rongsheng had almost finished the inspection, so the two of them didn't ask Song Jianshe to send them off and went back directly in the dark.
........
There has been relatively little work in the fields these days, and a group of wives and mothers-in-law couldn't sit still, so they gathered together and started chatting.
Talk about who's wife in the east is pregnant again, or who's chickens in the west stop laying eggs. In short, no matter what the topic is, they can talk about it with great interest.
As they were talking, they always had to say a few words about the Song family. They said that the Song family was pitiful. The family was poor to begin with, and as a result, the old were old and the young were young. They had four sons, one had a lame leg, and one was in poor health. As he spoke, he always shook his head with a look of regret on his face.
"Hey, you said the third brother's leg is lame, didn't they say to send him to the town for treatment? Regardless of whether he can be cured or not, he still has to go there."
"I guess it's not that they don't want treatment, it's probably that their family doesn't have the money to afford it."
"I think so too. With a family of old, weak, sick and disabled people, how can they make money?"
Then he thought, "When school starts in September, will the Song family's children still be able to go to school?"
"It should be possible. If not, then it would be really difficult. If my children can't read a single word, they will have to farm for the rest of their lives."
"The Song family has too many children. How much would it cost to send them all to school? Anyway, if it were our family, I would just focus on providing for one child first."
After talking about going to school, the group of people thought again. With so many people in the Song family, it would take a lot of food to feed each person. Then they thought about the people in the Song family. Not to mention Feng Guizhi, just the two sisters-in-law Yang Yulan and Chen Xiuxiu were thinner than each other, and only Sun Suyun had a little bit of fat.
"Alas, a family
"There are nearly twenty people in the family. Can they have enough to eat every day? The little ones are in the growth stage. I see that Yuanbao is thin and small, just like his father."
"If Erdan's mother was from the Song family, she would eat so much that she could probably bankrupt the Song family."
"The Song family is so pitiful. I don't think any of their children are as strong and healthy as a cow."
“…”
Mrs. Li was listening on the side, occasionally interjecting a few words to agree. When she heard this, she wanted to say a few words in response, but suddenly her mind remembered the fragrance that came from Old Song's house a few days ago, and she slowly frowned.
The old Song family, who were pitied by everyone, didn't know what was happening here. They were all busy working and waiting for dinner.
Feng Guizhi prepared a sumptuous meal tonight, including scallion oil noodles, fried pumpkin pancakes, a plate of stir-fried spicy and sour potato shreds, and a plate of scrambled eggs with cucumber.
To make scallion oil noodles, first pour oil into the pot, then cut the scallions and put them in. When the white part of the scallions turns slightly yellow and shriveled, pour some light soy sauce, then add an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce. Cook slowly over low heat. After the base oil becomes darker in color, wait for a few minutes for the scallion oil to be cooked.
After serving, pour two large ladles of water and start boiling to cook the noodles. Rinse the noodles with cold water, then pour in the scallion oil and mix. The white noodles will be evenly coated with the scallion oil, and the color will become darker. Just looking at it will make you hungry immediately.
Hot and sour potato shreds are easy to make, but making them delicious is not easy.
This dish was cooked by Yang Yulan. She made it delicious, with a sour and spicy taste, very appetizing. Chen Xiuxiu also made the same dish, but the steps were the same, but the result was a little different.
The kitchen was bustling with activity. After the dishes were out of the pot, the teacher called the children to move the stools and prepare to eat.
Song Jianye still ate in the west room today. Baoya and Tianen brought him food. The little ones carefully handed him the bowls one after another. Seeing this, Song Jianye felt warm in his heart, and his injured leg didn't seem to hurt so much anymore.
"Wash your hands and go eat." Song Jianye rubbed Baoya's head and said to the children.
The little ones responded and went out hand in hand. They had smelled the delicious food when the kitchen was cooking that night, and now they couldn't wait to go over and start eating.
The food was served on the table. Each person had a bowl of scallion oil noodles, a pumpkin pancake, and two appetizers.
The dish looks very rich.
"Eat everything." Feng Guizhi looked at the dishes on the table and felt her heart was filled. These days, just having a full meal was enough to satisfy people.
After Feng Guizhi said this, everyone was eager to start eating. But at this moment, someone suddenly came in from outside.
The author has something to say: People: Alas, the Song family is so pitiful, they must not have enough to eat every day.
Baoya looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her and frowned in confusion.
Yuanbao: Wow, they all laugh at me and say I can’t even eat enough [lowers his head and takes a bite of the braised pork, it’s so delicious~]
