Ji Qingzhou put her hands in her pockets, and the cool air from outside ran into her neck along her scarf, making her shiver.
"Your legs are still not working properly, so don't get too tired."
Ji Qingzhou took two steps and suddenly remembered: "I just changed the water in your cup. It should still be hot when you go back. You must have drunk it before going to bed at night."
Ji Qingzhou secretly replaced the water that Ji Qingwan drank with spiritual spring water recently.
She herself also felt that her physical strength would be restored a little after drinking it.
Ji Qingwan always thought that it was Ji Qingzhou who prescribed the medicine for her.
Every time she reminded me, I would drink it obediently.
"I know. You remind me this every day. You're just like mom, you like to nag."
Although she said this, she was always happy to be remembered by others.
"Yes, yes, we are both nagging. Next time, I won't remind you to hide good things. Just don't feel unbalanced when the time comes."
Ji Qingwan twisted her arm lightly.
Winter clothes are thick, and she only twisted Ji Qingzhou's sweater.
"Humph, you're the only one who talks too much. Go back and take good care of mom. I'm going home first."
When they reached the fork in the road, the two separated. Ji Qingzhou stared at her back until she disappeared, then she turned around and walked back.
When Ji Qingzhou returned home, a small room had been temporarily partitioned off in the house.
"It was really sudden, and we didn't have time to prepare properly. You just have to make do with it tonight, and we'll get some more bedding tomorrow."
With the help of Sister Wang, Ye Lanqing separated a small room in his home for Cao Yunzhi to live in in the afternoon.
Although the space is not very large, it is good to have an independent private space.
There were not many quilts at home, so Cao Yunzhi spread a thick blanket on her wooden bed.
Although it's cold outside, it's very warm inside.
Cao Yunzhi felt a little sorry: "I shouldn't have bothered you, but there's really no other way right now. Once the snow melts a little and the weather gets warmer, we should leave."
Ye Lanqing was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable living here, so he held her wrist with one hand.
"Don't worry, you can stay here for a few more days. The children will be happy too. You should take care of your health after all your work. Your work is hard. If you need anything here, just let me know. Just treat it like your own home."
Now, nominally, the two are formal relatives, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a family.
Xie Yanbei and Ji Qingzhou were only one banquet away from each other, so changing their words would only take a day or two.
"I understand everything you've said. Don't worry, I won't be restrained in my own home. You've been working hard all day, and the children should be home soon. Go back and have a good rest. We can discuss anything tomorrow."
Cao Yunzhi knew about Ye Lanqing's condition, and she had been trying her best to control it during this period.
Perhaps the medications she had been taking for a long time had taken effect, she was now mostly awake, and even if she was a little confused, she could react quickly.
Late at night, Ji Qingzhou's hands were numb from the cold. She held the hot water bottle tightly in her arms, fearing that the hot water would feel a little cold.
She stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck, looking towards the exit in the distance, but there was no sign of a single person.
As time passed, it was almost midnight. The lights in every household were turned off, and even the street lights were not on.
Ji Qingzhou yawned and continued to wait patiently.
There were some snowflakes in the evening. Although they were not big, they could not last long.
The snow that everyone had just swept out during the day was covered with a layer of white mist again.
"It's so late, why haven't you come back yet? Could something have happened?"
Ji Qingzhou muttered to himself and looked ahead again. His feet were already numb from the cold.
"Why are you still waiting here? Didn't I tell you to rest early?"
Just when Ji Qingzhou thought he would not be able to wait for Xie Yanbei, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.
The man walked over in the wind and snow, holding a flashlight in his hand, shining it directly on Ji Qingzhou.
Seeing Ji Qingzhou waiting at the door, Xie Yanbei couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"I was worried that you wouldn't be able to walk easily, so I wanted to wait for you here for a while. It's not a problem anyway, and I'd be bored staying alone in the room."
Xie Yanbei's leg pain has relapsed recently. Ji Qingzhou changed his medicine, and he didn't dare to exert much force when walking.
"It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk first."
Ji Qingzhou handed him the hot water bottle in his arms. He held the steaming hot water in his hands, and his numb limbs were instantly revived.
"Is there something going on today? Why are you so late?"
The two elders in the next room had gone to bed. Ji Qingzhou spoke softly and slowed down his pace.
"It's actually not that bad. Nothing particularly troublesome happened. It's just that we didn't have enough manpower today, and the arrangements were a bit tight, so there were some delays. There are still people on the mountain, and most people come back this late."
He doesn't ask for special treatment and just comes back later than others.
Ji Qingzhou nodded to show her understanding, and she took the clothes that Xie Yanbei took off.
"There's still hot water in the kettle. Soak your feet first. Have you eaten? There's still hot porridge in the pot. Do you need me to serve you a bowl?"
She moved her hands quickly, picked up the broom and swept the snow off the ground.
Some snowflakes fell on Xie Yanbei's clothes, and were instantly evaporated by the heat the moment he entered the house.
Ji Qingzhou's face was flushed, and she was a little uncomfortable with the alternation between hot and cold.
"Don't you have to help out at the health center tomorrow? Go to bed first. I'm not very hungry."
Ji Qingzhou took a look at his feet. Walking for a long time had caused blisters on his feet.
In addition, the mountain road was difficult to walk on and his legs were not convenient.
Ji Qingzhou had originally expected to undergo rehabilitation treatment during this period, but based on his current physical condition, it had to be postponed.
"Qingzhou, when will my legs be able to recover to the point where I can walk normally?"
Xie Yanbei soaked his feet in hot water and saw that Ji Qingzhou had already crawled into the quilt. He suddenly asked.
Ji Qingzhou was just confused, so she calculated carefully.
"Originally it would take at least three months, but the medicine you're using is absorbed better, so maybe a month will be enough."
Lingquan water is particularly effective for Xie Yanbei's legs, and Mr. Peng also gave Xie Yanbei a set of plans.
If it weren't for the heavy snow that increased his exercise volume, he might have been able to return to normal by the end of this month.
After Ji Qingzhou finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the reason why Xie Yanbei asked this.
She remembered that there would be a disaster in the future. In his previous life, he was unable to go to the front line because of his disabled legs.
He asked this now, probably because he wanted to go to the battlefield to provide support.
After this point in time, it is very likely that the two people will face separation again.
Ji Qingzhou's voice was a little hoarse: "Do you have something to say to me?"
