Luo Xiujuan in the window was staring at Ye Yun who was eating the candy bun, or to be more precise, she was staring at the candy bun.
Although a bowl of noodle soup relieved her hunger, she had not eaten noodles for a long time and could not resist the sweet smell of steamed buns. The hunger that penetrated deep into her bones made her saliva flow like a flood.
But that bowl of noodle soup was enough.
Ye Yun had already given her 10,000 cups of tea and asked a doctor to treat her son. How could she have the face to covet the candy bag in someone else's hand?
Even for that bowl of noodle tea and her son's medicine, she had to find a way to repay Ye Yun's kindness first.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiujuan decisively lowered the window. Unable to control her hunger, she simply didn't look at it, so as to avoid Ye Yun misunderstanding that she was a greedy person.
Although Luo Xiujuan was very hungry, she still knew clearly what the principles of being a human being were.
The window was closed gently. Even though the person who closed the window moved very gently, it still made a slight noise, causing several people in the yard to look at it in surprise.
Auntie Tian was surprised and lowered her voice first: "Zhengzi's wife, is that woman awake?"
Ye Yun nodded.
"How is it?" Aunt Tian was curious about whether the man depended on Ye Yun.
Ye Yun twitched her lips and smiled faintly, "Nothing, just that her home is quite far from here, and she begged for food all the way here. Her son hasn't woken up yet, so let her stay here for now."
Aunt Tian nodded and said nothing.
I thought there would be something interesting to watch, but I didn't expect that both the other party and Ye Yun were so emotionally stable.
Qin Xiang'e withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at Ye Yun, her tone more worried, "She has a child? The child is sick? Why is he sleeping in your and Qin Zheng's room? What if he gets sick? If you want to take them in, why don't you let them move to my room and the old lady's room?"
She asked several questions in a row, she was really worried.
Ye Yun shook her head, "That's it."
We have already fallen asleep. If the disease the child has is contagious, it will be useless to move him now.
Aunt Tian gave away the candy packets and left.
Qin Xiang'e put the remaining sugar packets into the steamed bun basket and looked around the yard, but did not see Qin Zheng.
"Zhengzi, what have you been doing instead of being at home in the middle of the day?" Qin Xiang'e sighed, filled the water tank, and started cooking with the clanging of the bucket.
Ye Yun didn’t know either.
When Qin Zheng asked her what she wanted to eat, she couldn't say anything. After thinking for a while, she just said casually, "I have no appetite."
"No appetite?"
Qin Zheng saw that she was in a dilemma. He thought for two seconds and suddenly seemed to remember something. He smiled at her and said, "Wife, I'll find something for you. When you see it, you'll have an appetite for food."
He left without waiting for Ye Yun to respond.
And now, it hasn’t come back yet.
Ye Yun didn't know what Qin Zheng was looking for, and seeing Qin Xiang'e muttering about Qin Zheng, she didn't say anything more.
At this moment, a hurried eagle staggered out from the main room.
"Auntie, I'll do it."
With an anxious look on her face, Luo Xiujuan eagerly snatched the bucket from Qin Xiang'e's hand and staggered into the kitchen.
It was obvious that her strength had not recovered, and she staggered because of the water bucket when she entered the kitchen shed.
This incident left Qin Xiang'e stunned.
Qin Xiang'e stared in amazement at Luo Xiujuan who suddenly appeared, and cast a puzzled look at Ye Yun. What did this mean?
Ye Yun shrugged.
She glanced in the direction of Luo Xiujuan and asked, "Wouldn't it be nice to have someone help with the work?"
As if she were living under someone else's roof, Luo Xiujuan was afraid of offending Ye Yun and Qin Xiang'e, so she quickly added water to the pot, one ladle at a time, and she didn't stop until she added three ladlefuls.
“Enough is enough!”
The noise frightened Qin Xiang'e so much that she quickly stepped forward and snatched the water scoop from her hand.
"We don't have a big family, so three scoops are enough."
Qin Xiang'e didn't dare let Luo Xiujuan work anymore, so she asked her to rest and started cooking immediately.
Luo Xiujuan stood helplessly by the side watching Qin Xiang'e busying around, pinching her fingers, and bravely raised her voice and said, "Auntie, don't look down on me. I often cook at home. I can help. You gave me food and asked the doctor to treat my son. Just let me do some work!"
Otherwise she would feel guilty.
Qin Xiang'e thought about it and finally turned her inquiring gaze to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun did not comment.
Qin Xiang'e turned her head and looked at Luo Xiujuan again. The girl was looking at her anxiously, as if she was afraid that she would not be allowed to work. She finally sighed, "You look very weak. What kind of work can you do in the fields? Otherwise... just sit here and help me light the fire. Don't do anything else."
Luo Xiujuan was delighted and said, "Okay!"
After she finished speaking, she conveniently sat on the small stool in front of the earthen pot, stuffed the branches into the pot, and then stuffed in a few flammable straws. She slid the foreign match lightly on the matchbox, and the small flame easily ignited the straw, which was stuffed into the pot. A bright flame instantly ignited the bottom of the pot.
Qin Xiang'e, who was washing rice, felt relieved when she saw this.
He is really a hard worker.
He is a hard-working person, but I don't know why he has fallen to the point of begging for food.
Qin Xiang'e was puzzled, but she asked naturally, "Sister, which village are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I..." Luo Xiujuan lowered her head, "My home is very far from here, separated by two hills."
"Ah?" Qin Xiang'e was surprised. She looked her up and down in astonishment, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "No wonder I haven't seen you before. Did you cross two mountains with your child? You look pretty and you are nimble. Why are you begging with your child?"
Luo Xiujuan wanted to explain, but she shut up immediately when she saw Ye Yun in the yard.
Ye Yun didn't like to hear about her experiences and what she wanted to do in the future, and she would never talk about it again.
"Okay, it's okay if you don't want to say it. People should always look forward and let the past go." Qin Xiang'e didn't care about her attitude and waved her hand with a smile.
The girl in front of me doesn't look like a beggar, so her attitude is also good.
The rice was put into the pot and the steamed buns were cooked. Qin Xiang'e covered the pot and let Luo Xiujuan cook them slowly. She turned around and took out a bag of green apples that she had bought from the roadside on her way back from the tricycle, and fetched some clean water from the well.
He peeled and cored the fruit, cut it into bite-sized pieces and handed it to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun had already entered the house at this time.
The child lying on the kang let out a faint moan of pain, which she could just hear.
"Mother...mother..."
The child had his eyes tightly closed, his brows tightly furrowed, and he kept murmuring in discomfort and pain as if he was possessed by a nightmare.
Because of the fever-reducing medicine he had taken, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his messy long hair was wet and stuck to his face. When Ye Yun touched his forehead to feel the temperature, her hands were inevitably covered in sweat.
Ye Yun wrung out a wet towel and was about to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
Suddenly the child opened his eyes suddenly.
