Haven’t you seen people in other villages who don’t believe in superstitions rushing to harvest in the heavy rain?
But how can man defeat nature? No matter how hard he tries, he cannot complete the harvest in a short time.
He was caught in the rain and had a high fever, and his life was hanging by a thread.
The Ling family was not affected at all. Apart from turning over the wheat ears in the wing room every day, everything else was no different from usual.
It’s Doctor Cheng, who is often called out to see patients.
After a while, I caught a cold and started sneezing loudly.
Look, here he comes, covering his nose.
"Xing, Xingyue girl, do you still have that medicine powder? Give it to me, an old man, for some!"
After saying that, he sneezed towards the wall, and a long stream of snot sprayed onto the handkerchief.
Doctor Cheng quickly wiped his nose and hid the handkerchief in his sleeve.
Afraid of being seen and embarrassed.
Chi Xingyue pretended not to notice and said angrily, "I gave it all to you. Are you using it now?"
Doctor Cheng looked embarrassed and scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
These past two days, when I went out to see patients, I encountered situations that were too critical. I just added some of this to the water and saved many lives.
When he came to his senses, he found that the whole bottle of antipyretic medicine had been used up by him.
We have been running around in the rain and under the stars these past two days. Even the strongest person can't stand it.
Doctor Cheng's head was buzzing and he was about to faint. Fearing he wouldn't make it, he shamelessly came to ask for medicine.
Chi Xingyue didn't make things difficult for him and took out a bottle of antipyretic medicine from the secret compartment of the closet.
He also reminded me: "Use it sparingly, there really isn't much left!"
Doctor Cheng nodded, poured some powder from the bottle, and swallowed it directly without even drinking water.
Chi Xingyue asked Erzhu to send Doctor Cheng back to the house, and asked Xing'er to make a pot of chicken soup to nourish him.
On June 27th, the weather cleared up.
The gray sky rarely cleared up, and the sunlight shone directly on the earth without any obstruction.
Steam was rising, and the whole Qingshan Village was like a sauna, making it hard to breathe.
Doctor Cheng, who had just slept for a day and a night, opened his sleepy eyes and thought to himself that the medicine of the Medical Saint was really powerful.
He had a fever, and after drinking only a soybean-sized amount, the fever went down.
My life is no longer in danger, but I feel exhausted all over.
After lying in bed for more than ten hours, I finally felt a little refreshed.
His stomach was growling with hunger, so he quickly called Zhaocai to bring him some food.
A bowl of fragrant shredded chicken noodles was placed on the table. Dr. Cheng finished it in a few bites and still felt it was not enough.
I ordered two more servings of rice.
In Qingfeng Courtyard, Ge Jinglan was painting with Shu Muyun when she suddenly vomited.
Thinking she had a stomach upset, he instinctively wanted to call Dr. Cheng, but Ge Jinglan stopped him.
She looked a little shy: "Mu Yun, I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while."
Shu Muyun only has this one sister-in-law, how can he feel at ease?
He glared at Shu Xuhong who was standing beside him, thinking, your wife has vomited, why aren't you anxious at all?
"Brother, please move. Doctor Cheng can check my pulse even if I have a fever.
Don’t take it lightly, serious illnesses often develop from minor ones.”
Seeing that she was getting more and more ridiculous, Ge Jinglan hurriedly explained: "I'm not sick, it's just, it's just..."
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "More than three months!"
Shu Muyun's head seemed to be hit by something, and he was blank for a long time before he came back to his senses: "You mean, I have a nephew again?"
Ge Jinglan nodded shyly: "Yes!"
Even Shu Xuhong was embarrassed: "I didn't expect that at my age, I could have another child!"
Shu Muyun was so happy that tears were about to come out. He said "good" several times before asking: "Is my sister-in-law in good health? I remember that doctor..."
“I also thought I was infertile, but I only discovered this when I felt unwell a while ago.
Doctor Chen said that it might be because of the good soil and water in Qingshan Village that the original losses were made up.
Mu Yun, your sister-in-law would like to thank you here.
If I hadn't followed you, your brother and I might have died in the flood in the south of the Yangtze River.
There would be no such comfortable life as today!"
Shu Muyun glared at Ge Jinglan: "Look at you, we are all family, why do we have to be so different!"
The news that Ge Jinglan was pregnant spread quickly, and the old lady came to visit her during dinner time.
He also scolded her: "How dare you go to the fields to harvest wheat when you know you are pregnant?
Aren't you worried about the baby in your belly getting hurt?"
Ge Jinglan smiled and said, "Old lady, I'm fine. Doctor Cheng said that being more active during pregnancy will help with childbirth.
Just don’t overwork yourself!”
The old lady put the white fungus and snow frog she bought from the county on the table.
“I wanted to buy some bird’s nests, but Shunzi went to the shop and asked, and they said that the Yong Dynasty had been at war, and there hadn’t been any caravans coming in for a long time.
You just have to make do with it.
It is a great blessing that we can still live in a safe corner of Youzhou City.
Don't feel any psychological pressure and think that you owe the Ling family anything.
This yard was built by your nephew, and the ways for the Ling family to make money were thought up by your nephew's wife.
What's wrong with you living here? It's only natural!
I have no objection, the old man has no objection, and the eldest and third sons’ wives have no objection either.
Don't be like a taciturn person all day long, not showing your face and not saying a word.
Just like in Jiangning Prefecture, eat when you should and drink when you should.
When I'm bored, I call Xing'er and Zhaocai and go to the village to chat with the old ladies and young wives.
Only when you are in a good mood can your children grow up well.
Try to give the Shu family another big fat boy!"
Ge Jinglan nodded with emotion and praised the old lady for being kind, sensible and blessed.
The old lady was very pleased with this flattery and shared her parenting tips with her for a long time before leaving with a smile.
Shu Xuhong packed up his things and thanked Ge Jinglan profusely.
The affection they have shown for each other over the years has made their eyes glare.
At this time, Shu Rui ran in and broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.
However, the little guy is very sensible. Instead of feeling jealous of his mother's pregnancy, he is particularly looking forward to the arrival of his little brother and sister.
By then, he would no longer be the youngest in the family and would have his own brothers and sisters.
After receiving the news, Chi Xingyue also sent condolences.
A piece of muslin or silk to make clothes for the little one.
There are also rare medicinal herbs such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, as well as a few bird's nests that the old lady was unable to buy.
Ge Jinglan said it was too expensive, but Chi Xingyue was rich and didn't care at all.
Not only did he not take it back, he also gave the old lady some supplements, which made the old lady's crow's feet smile. She praised Chi Xingyue for being filial and generous.
On June 28th, the ground was completely dry and the villagers continued to dry the crops.
It looks quite spectacular when the wheat covers the entire open space.
Unfortunately, such good weather only lasted for a few days before it became cloudy again.
During this period, County Magistrate Huang sent people to take a look and investigate the losses.
I was quite surprised to find out that Qingshan Village was safe.
Upon learning that they had harvested early, the yamen runner nodded and went back to report truthfully.
Song Yuanyan asked Song Lizheng: "Dad, why should we tell the truth? If we lie, won't we pay less land tax?"
