Chapter 842: You Don’t Need to Inherit My Family’s Golden Finger (8)
The medicines and medical equipment Qi Yuanjiu brought back were limited, so he could only give priority to treating the most seriously injured people and leave some for the injured generals.
After returning from the wounded camp, Qi Yuanjiu was so tired that he sat on the couch and couldn't get up. He had been killing enemies on the battlefield for four hours that day. After returning, he went to the wounded camp without stopping to help with suture surgery, which took another hour or two. Now he had not had a drop of water for the whole day, and it took him the last bit of strength to hold on and return to his barracks.
"General! Are you injured? Do you want to ask a military doctor to take a look?" The deputy general was frightened when he saw his ugly face and asked quickly.
"...No need, have someone bring me some food." Qi Yuanjiu ordered weakly.
The deputy general hurriedly went to find something to eat, and Qi Yuanjiu finally had some space to breathe a sigh of relief.
He thought of today's scene and the medicine Qu Shichu gave him. Several ideas on how to establish a long-term business partnership with Qu Shichu were already flowing through his mind. However, he didn't know if he would have the chance to go back to her world. If so, then everything would be easy. If not, then everything he thought about would be meaningless and he could only rely on himself.
Qu Shichu, who was far away in another world, had no idea that she was about to have a long-term partner. She was now being tormented physically and mentally by a little kid who was not even three years old.
I don't know what kind of wealthy family raised Lan Ge'er, but he has to eat delicious food and wear gorgeous clothes.
Qu Shichu cooked a home-cooked meal for him, one of which was green onion tofu. He tasted a few bites and started to say, "Sister, tofu, this is not tofu..."
"If this isn't tofu, then what is it? This is tofu." Qu Shichu didn't quite understand what he meant at first, but the little thing pouted and frowned and said, "Tofu... is made from chicken brains and brain fluid..."
Wow! Qu Shichu listened to it several times before he realized that the tofu that the little guy had eaten before was made of chicken brain marrow. What brain water is just brain marrow...
How much brain marrow is in a chicken? How many chickens are needed to make a plate of tofu? Qu Shichu immediately thought of the extravagant delicacies that the masters in Dream of the Red Chamber indulged in.
It seems that Lan'er's family is not much inferior.
But he wanted to eat tofu made from chicken brain marrow, which was impossible.
Qu Shichu said to Lan Ge'er expressionlessly: "Lan Ge'er, the tofu in my house is made from soybeans, not chicken brains. If you want to eat it, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, then just go hungry. Have you ever experienced what it feels like to be hungry?"
Brother Lan shook his head blankly.
Well, he is a precious child of a rich family, who would dare to let him go hungry?
"If you don't eat enough for this meal, you will have to experience hunger today." Qu Shichu said to him coldly.
A child who is not even three years old has never been hungry, so he doesn't know how painful love is. What Qu Shichu said can't threaten him at all. Therefore, Lan Ge'er is very ambitious and is really picky about food. Let alone tofu, he doesn't even eat fish. He only ate a few bites of the creamy mashed potatoes that Qu Shichu specially made for him. He thought it was novel and soft, so he ate a few more bites.
He didn't cry, but just looked at Qu Shichu eagerly. Qu Shichu didn't indulge him. After confirming that he really didn't want to eat anymore, he cleaned up the remaining food and didn't leave any for him.
The little guy had no idea what was about to happen to him, and excitedly ran to the front yard to play with the dog.
After Qu Shichu finished his housework, he took Lan Ge'er outside for a walk. It is not suitable for children to stay at home all day. They need to go outside more often to broaden their horizons.
Especially for Lan Ge'er, a little boy like him, who is only two or three years old, the adults would never take him out. Usually he would just stroll around the house at most. So at this moment, he looked at the endless fields, lush green woods and the boundless blue sky outside, and found everything strange and interesting. His big black eyes were so busy that he couldn't take it all in. His mouth was wide open, and he looked like he had never seen the world.
"Hey, Xiao Qu, whose child are you holding? Why haven't I seen him before?" An old lady from the village passed by carrying a bunch of dry firewood. When she saw Qu Shichu holding a delicate little boy, she stopped and asked curiously.
Qu Shichu lied calmly, "This is the child of my college classmate. She was going to divorce her husband and was afraid that my husband would take the child away, so she sent the child to me to hide for a few days until the divorce was finalized and I could take the child away."
Lan Ge'er suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Qu Shichu. Although he was young, he could still understand what the old lady asked, but he was confused by Qu Shichu's answers.
The old lady didn't doubt it at all and believed it immediately. After all, nowadays many people will fight for the custody of their children when they get divorced. It's not uncommon for mothers to hide their children because they are reluctant to give them up and are afraid that their husbands will take them away. The old lady understood this very well.
She looked at Lan Ge'er and sighed, "If I had such a beautiful and lovely son, I would not be willing to give him to my ex-husband. By the way, what kind of clothes is he wearing? It looks like what opera singers wear, very beautiful. And the shoes, oh my, could those pearls hanging on the uppers be real pearls?"
Qu Shichu continued to deceive calmly, "The child's parents are both rich. Isn't it popular in the city to dress children in Hanfu and ancient costumes? My classmate's family is rich, so they customized these ancient costumes for their children. They spent a lot of money, so of course they look good."
"That's what I said, no wonder it looks so good..." the old lady exclaimed.
The old lady looked at Lan Ge'er's clothes enviously several times, and finally left reluctantly.
Qu Shichu dared to take the little one out, naturally she was not afraid of being seen. Nowadays, even people from the same village did not know how many relatives and friends each family had. What's more, the Tong Village where she lived was no different from other villages in the country. Only the old and the young could live in the village for a long time, and there were very few young people. Therefore, Qu Shichu was not worried about the appearance of a few new faces in her family.
She went to college in another place and brought many classmates home to play. Everyone in the village knew about it, so if she wanted to find an excuse, she just had to say that they were her college classmates or friends she met outside, and no one would suspect her.
After the old lady left, Lan Ge'er frowned and asked Qu Shichu seriously, "Sister, what does college classmates mean? What about divorce?"
Qu Shichu didn't expect that the little guy had taken her words to heart, so she had to explain: "College classmates are classmates who went to study in other places. Did anyone in your family go to study there? People who studied with him can be called classmates. Divorce is divorce by agreement. After getting married, if you don't want to continue to be together as husband and wife, you end the marriage relationship, separate from each other, and are no longer husband and wife. This is divorce."
