Chapter 158 Mr. Qi is injured
Mother Xie kept moving her hands, moving the pot away and replacing the kettle. She looked at her daughter-in-law's naive appearance with a smile on her face. She let the chestnuts cool down a bit before handing them to Qi Man:
"You can eat it now, but it's a little hot, be careful not to burn yourself."
"Uh-huh."
Qi Man took it quickly, put the small bowl on the table, and couldn't wait to peel a candied chestnut and put it in her mouth.
The chestnut meat is very powdery and has the sweet aroma of sugar, which makes it especially delicious. His little eyes are sparkling as he keeps chewing and stuffing several more into his mouth. His cheeks are stuffed full like a little squirrel.
Xie Yunshu happened to pull the cooked sweet potatoes out of the carbon ash and carefully removed the carbon ash on the skin.
The skin of the sweet potato was baked very crispy, so the carbon ash almost fell off when touched. He took a paper towel, wrapped it with a layer of paper, and pulled aside the pointed outer skin, revealing the orange-yellow flesh. The flesh was filled with hot steam, and the sweet potatoes were crystal clear and plump, which made Qi Man's appetite open.
Not long after the dried sweet potatoes were taken out, Qi Man was so greedy that she took the hot sweet potatoes without any preparation, opened her mouth and took a bite. The result can be imagined.
“It’s so hot!”
Qi Man opened her mouth slightly, with hot air coming out of it. She kept fanning her mouth with her small hands, trying to relieve the heat and pain. She frowned slightly, but was reluctant to spit out the sweet potato in her mouth.
Seeing this, Xie Yunshu became anxious, dropped the pliers in his hand, stood up and grabbed Qi Man's jaw with his hand, his tone was quite helpless:
"Since it's hot, why don't you spit it out quickly?"
As soon as Xie Yunshu finished speaking, Qi Man swallowed the small piece of sweet potato, tilted her head back and smiled innocently:
"tasty!"
Xie Yunshu was so angry that he laughed. He pinched his wife's chubby, soft, and surprisingly hot little face in a bad mood:
"You know it's hot, but you don't know how to spit it out. If blisters form on your mouth, you'll be in trouble."
My daughter-in-law seems smart, but she is very stupid when it comes to eating.
If he hadn't already married her, he would have been really afraid that someone would use a few delicious treats to trick his young wife away, and then he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
Qi Man ate the remaining sweet potatoes with relish. Having learned from her previous experience, she took small bites to avoid getting burned again.
Sweet potatoes are soft, sticky and sweet, and are best enjoyed while steaming hot in the winter.
Qi Man peeled all the remaining chestnuts with her bare hands, gave half to her mother-in-law and Xie Yunshu, and left the rest for Old Man Qi who had gone out for tea and had not yet returned home.
"eat!"
Although chestnuts and sweet potatoes are delicious, I can’t take them all. I have to give some to my mother-in-law and Xie Yunshu to satisfy them.
Grandpa should also like this sweet thing, and he will definitely like it when the time comes.
It was winter and she felt sleepy at home. Mother Xie looked at Qi Man, who was sitting by the stove with her back wrapped around her, feeling sleepy, and said softly:
"Manman, are you feeling really bored? How about I ask Yunshu to install the color TV his friend sent you so you can watch some TV to relieve your boredom."
Qi Man shook her head blankly, looking very understanding:
"No need. I don't like watching these. I just feel a little sleepy while watching TV. Besides, it's snowing so heavily outside. The roof is also covered with snow. I don't want Yun Shu to take the risk just to watch some TV."
But in fact, what Qi Man thought was that winter was the best time for hibernation.
As for the television, there is a huge one in the space villa, and there are all kinds of TV dramas, but I just don’t enjoy watching them.
I heard that in those days, you needed to install an antenna and look for a signal to watch TV dramas. In a heavy snow, there was no need to take risks just because of a few words.
When Xie Yunshu heard that his wife felt sorry for him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Manman still feels sorry for him!
Knock knock knock——
As the family of three were happily sitting around the fire, there was a loud knock on the courtyard door outside, and a hurried voice came from outside the door:
"Aunt Xie, Aunt Xie, open the door!"
Xie Yunshu quickly put on his winter coat, took a step forward, and opened the gate in the heavy snow.
The man wrapped himself tightly, leaving only half of his face red from the cold exposed, and he was sniffing the snot that kept flowing out from his nose.
"Brother Xie, Mr. Qi was beaten up and is seriously injured. He is with Uncle Wei now. You should go and have a look."
Before he could finish his words, a small figure ran away from him. He could not even see the figure clearly, and then heard Xie's mother's urging voice:
"Yun Shu, Manman has gone out. Hurry up and take a look. I'll be there soon."
Xie Yunshu nodded, glanced at the villager who came to report the news, said thank you, and then quickly followed.
Mother Xie followed closely behind, stuffing the hot sweet potatoes into the hands of the villagers who came to report the news, with a faint smile on her face:
"You've worked hard. Eat one of the sweet potatoes I just baked to warm your stomach."
The sweet potato was very hot. Holding it in the palm of the hand transferred heat energy, which restored consciousness to the frozen red and numb hands. The villager sniffed hard and said with a smile:
“Hey!”
Wei Fei's home.
When Qi Man arrived, Old Man Qi was lying on the bed, dying, with bruises on his face, a swollen nose and face, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes closed.
Seeing Grandpa like this, Qi Man's pupils shrank slightly, and panic surged into her heart. She couldn't help but redden her eyes, her nose shrank slightly, and she murmured:
"grandfather…"
Grandpa is always energetic. He had a few extra cups yesterday and had a great time chatting with his friends. But when he woke up, he was lying on the bed, dying, as if he was about to leave him at any time.
Wei Fei took a step forward and said in a gentle tone:
"Brother Qi had multiple fractures and two broken ribs. Fortunately, he was brought to the hospital in time, which saved his life. But I'm afraid he will have to spend the rest of his life in bed."
Everyone present was shocked.
Wei Fei has always had a bad temper and he never looks happy no matter who he is with.
Didn’t the sun rise from the west today?
It is a great pleasure to see in my lifetime that Wei Fei can speak to someone so kindly.
Qi Man's hand gently stroked Grandpa Qi's face, took out an exquisite brocade box from her pocket, took out the pill from the box, and stuffed it into Grandpa Qi's mouth.
Mr. Qi's complexion improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. Wei Fei followed the brocade box in Qi Man's hand with his eyes, swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and rubbed his legs with his hands like a fly, and said:
"Girl, can you give me this brocade box?"
Qi Man's mind was completely on Old Man Qi. When she heard others say this, she handed the box away casually.
Wei Fei held the box carefully in his hand as if it were a treasure, opened it, took a deep breath, and the rich fragrance filled his nose. A hint of obsession flashed in his eyes.
That's the taste.
Seeing that Grandpa's complexion had improved, Qi Man asked
