Chapter 240: Heart-Warming and Stomach-Warming (Part 1)
Cui Qingci tried hard to imagine what it was like for her elder brother to be caring and considerate.
Thinking of her elder brother's self-discipline, calmness and courtesy, Cui Qingci felt a little emotional.
It only shows that she, the sister-in-law, has a unique charm.
Otherwise, how could the elder brother, who had seen all kinds of beauties, talented women and noble ladies, be so special to her?
Madam Cui said, "Your eldest brother would naturally agree."
"Every day I see them living in harmony and happiness, and that makes me feel very happy."
"You don't know that ever since your eldest brother married Zhiluo, I've felt relieved and happy. I feel like there's some smoke in the house."
"When your eldest brother and your sister-in-law have children, I will be their grandmother and help them take care of the children."
Mrs. Cui’s thoughts now are simple, that is, her family lives in harmony and happiness.
Old Madam Cui's eyes turned red with heartache as she looked at Cui Qingci.
However, when she thought of Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo, her brows softened and she was full of hope and yearning for life.
Cui Qingci was shocked when she saw the change in her mother's expression.
However, after experiencing so many things, she also understands that a simple life is the most real.
She was happy for her mother that she could have such a simple idea.
"You don't have to worry. Zhiluo said that if you want to stay at home, you can stay. There's enough food at home. Besides, your body needs the medicine Zhiluo can prescribe to help you heal."
Cui Qingci was not a shy person. She was so grateful that she could see her relatives.
She just wants to be with her mother now.
"Mom, I'll stay and help with the housework to the best of my ability."
Madam Cui said, "Zhiluo said you can't overwork yourself."
"If I don't do any work, I'll get anxious. I always have to do something, even if it's just helping to light the fire."
Madam Cui nodded and said, "Well, that's fine."
It’s good to have something to do, because it’s easy to have random thoughts when you’re idle.
"Actually, our Donghe Village is quite good. Although it seems a bit remote and backward, the people here are simple and honest, and the villagers are warm and kind. After living here for a long time, one's heart gradually becomes much calmer."
“It’s just relaxing.”
Cui Qingci nodded and listened carefully to her mother's chatter.
"Mom, I'm going to get out of bed and wash up."
"Okay, Mom will help you."
Cui Qingci said: "Mom, I can do it myself. I feel that my body has gained some strength."
Madam Cui said, "Be careful. Your feet are all rubbed raw. Zhiluo prepared some medicine and I applied it on you. Your feet feel much better now, but don't push too hard."
When Cui Qingci went to the field, Old Madam Cui gave her a pair of shoes to wear.
Cui Qingci's previous shoes had long been broken and could no longer be worn.
Mrs. Cui made a pair of shoes with her own hands out of cotton cloth. The soles were thick and soft and comfortable to wear.
This was something that Old Lady Cui learned from the village head's wife, Zhu.
"Mom, these shoes are very comfortable. Did you buy them?"
Madam Cui said, "Mother made it herself."
Cui Qingci felt both stunned and warm in her heart.
Her mother wasn't very good at sewing before.
When Cui Qingci wore these shoes, she felt a deep warmth in her heart.
Her eyes were also slightly red.
But she has learned to hide her emotions.
She was at the Pei family, missing home and her parents very much.
She hasn't seen her mother for a long time.
"Mom, aren't you going to ask me about my business?"
Madam Cui said, "None of that matters. What matters is that you are well. Mother will be relieved to see that you are well."
"reputation……"
Before Cui Qingci could finish, Madam Cui said, "Reputation is all false. Your elder brother, Zhiluo, and I don't care about it."
This is what Cui Qingci feared and worried about the most. Listening to her mother's words, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably and accumulated all of a sudden.
She didn't want to make her mother worry, so she suppressed her emotions and forced back her tears.
She choked and nodded, "Yeah."
When she came to the yard, Cui Qingci found that the yard was large and clean, paved with cobblestones, and had vegetable gardens on both sides.
There is also a chicken coop, which is kept clean and tidy.
Take a breath, the air is fresh.
She breathed softly and felt her body slowly relax.
When Cui Qingci was washing up, Mrs. Cui gave her a toothbrush.
"What's this?"
"This is something for brushing teeth. Zhiluo gave it to me. Use this to brush your teeth and they will be clean."
Old Madam Cui demonstrated to Cui Qingci how to use it, and Cui Qingci learned how to use it.
After brushing her teeth, she found that her teeth felt very comfortable.
She was a little surprised. Her sister-in-law was very different from the girls from noble families and also from the girls from ordinary families.
She made her curious.
By this time, Jiang Zhiluo had already cooked the porridge.
She scooped out a bowl and placed it on the table, saying, "Mother, I've made the porridge. Second sister, have some first."
Madam Cui said, "Qingci, now that you're done washing up, let's go into the living room. You can also try the porridge made by your sister-in-law. It's delicious."
Cui Qingci nodded, went into the house, sat down in the living room and drank porridge.
Cui Qingci grew up in the Duke's Mansion and has eaten all kinds of delicious food, including porridge.
During the Laba Festival, every household drinks Laba porridge.
But this bowl of porridge is really delicious, the temperature is just right, and when I drink it, my heart seems to be warmed.
"Mom, this porridge is really delicious."
Madam Cui said, "It's delicious, but drink it slowly. Your sister-in-law said that you've been in a coma for three days and haven't eaten well before. Your stomach is very fragile. You need to eat something light and nourishing to heal your stomach. After that, you can eat normally."
Cui Qingci nodded, she didn’t know if it was an illusion.
I felt that after drinking this porridge, my stomach felt comfortable and I regained my appetite.
She didn't feel like eating at all. She was just hungry, but she didn't feel like eating.
But after taking a sip of porridge, I would like to drink a few more sips.
Cui Qingci had no idea that this was because the porridge was made with spiritual spring water.
It can repair the body and stimulate appetite.
As she drank, Cui Qingci's tears fell uncontrollably.
"Isn't it delicious? Why are you crying?"
Seeing her daughter crying, Mrs. Cui couldn't help crying too.
Cui Qingci quickly wiped away her tears and said, "I just feel happy to see my mother."
In fact, she hadn't had a hot meal for a long time, and all she had was leftovers.
…
Jiang Zhiluo saw that it was getting late and prepared to make lunch.
There was still porridge in the pot, but she and Old Lady Cui were not satisfied with just drinking porridge, they also wanted to eat something else.
Just as Jiang Zhiluo was thinking about what to make for lunch, a loud voice came from outside the door.
"Is Sister Cui here? Is Zhiluo here?"
Jiang Zhiluo put down what she was holding and hurried to the door.
Niu was standing at the door.
"Aunt Niu, is there anything wrong?"
Mrs. Niu smiled and said, "It's nothing. Look, the apricots in front of our house are ripe. I tasted them and they were quite sweet, so I picked a basket for you. They're not good things, so please don't despise them."
Only then did Jiang Zhiluo see that Niu was holding a basket full of apricots.
