Noticing Qin Jiayi's gaze, Xiao Youxuan's ears turned slightly red.
Fortunately, the light was dim and no one saw it.
Then, he took the initiative to find a topic: "Comrade Qin, have you applied the ointment I gave you?"
"Didn't you say to apply it in the morning and evening? I plan to apply it before going to bed, should it be okay?" Qin Jiayi retracted his gaze and answered his question seriously.
After hearing this, Xiao Xunyou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. This little girl is really simple and cute.
Applying ointment is different from taking medicine, it needs to be taken within the prescribed time.
He said to apply it in the morning and evening, which actually means applying it twice a day, and the time doesn't have to be so strict.
Thinking that she hadn't applied it yet, he said, "Let me help you apply it tonight. You will know how to apply it tomorrow."
Qin Jiayi felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was her ankle that was injured, and she had to take off her shoes and expose her feet when applying the medicine.
I am not familiar with Dr. Xiao, and it would be so embarrassing to show my feet in front of him on the first day I come back.
"Didn't you teach me how to apply it? Let me do it myself!" In the end, she refused.
"It's okay, I'm here, I'll do it.
Don't forget that I'm a doctor. I know more about controlling the dosage than you do." Xiao Xunyou didn't give Qin Jiayi a chance to refuse.
It's not that he is a pervert and wants to touch Qin Jiayi's legs.
He simply wanted to help her apply the medicine, and this was the only thing he could do to help her.
"Jia Yi, Doctor Xiao said he would help you apply the ointment, why don't you go and get it? How can you apply it as well as Doctor Xiao can?" Old Mrs. Qin didn't care what her daughter thought.
Anyway, in her understanding, Xiao Xunyou is a doctor, and with him applying the medicine to her daughter, the effect will definitely be doubled.
At this point, Qin Jiayi knew she couldn't refuse: "Then wait for me to wash my feet first, otherwise I'm afraid my feet will be too smelly and it will be bad for Doctor Xiao."
Xiao Youxun felt happy after hearing this. He really wanted to say, it’s okay, I’m not afraid of the smoke.
But if he really said that, he was afraid that the people in the Qin family would think he was a pervert, so it would be better for him to be normal.
Thinking of this, he did not stop Qin Jiayi from washing her feet.
Qin Qiu, who was still eating, heard that his aunt wanted to wash her feet, and immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and stood up from the stool: "Aunt, wait here, I'll get you some water!"
After saying that, he quickly went to the kitchen.
There are two pots at home. One is used to cook and the other is used to boil water for washing face and feet.
When cooking in the evening, water has already been boiled in another pot, just waiting to be used for washing after dinner.
Looking at such a caring niece, Qin Jia could only think that it was not in vain that she loved her when she was a child.
However, even though there are many children in the family, they sound noisy.
But she found that everyone was very sensible. Even her little nephew who was still in swaddling clothes was unusually well-behaved and hardly ever cried.
You know, children who cry a lot are the most difficult to raise and the most frustrating.
She still remembers the time when her nephews and nieces were born before she joined the army.
Every day, either one of them cries or the other one cries, and they quarrel all night long.
It also made her develop a certain fear of children, and she even thought about not having children in the future.
It was only after I joined the army that I forgot that devastating feeling and began to find the child cute again.
In fact, Han'er is really cute.
After a while, Qin Qiu opened a basin of water with a clean towel in it, so he could wash his feet after washing his face.
"Thank you, Qiu'er!" Qin Jia smiled at her eldest niece.
Qin Qiu thoughtfully wrung out the towel for his aunt and handed it to her with both hands: "You're welcome, aunt. This is what I should do. I'll pour out the water after you finish washing."
Qin Jiayi reached out and took the towel, which was still hot, and immediately wiped it on her face and was about to put it in the basin to wash.
Qin Qiu took the towel from her hand and started to scrub it vigorously.
Seeing this, Qin Jiayi couldn't help but said, "Qiu'er, your aunt's injury is her leg, not her hand. You don't have to do everything yourself."
Her niece was helping her out of kindness, but she didn't like the feeling of being treated like a waste.
This might be a habit she developed in the army. She had to do everything by herself, so she didn't like being taken care of like this.
But Qin Qiu's next words touched her: "Aunt, you must have worked very hard in the army these years. Now you are injured and back home. As your niece, I am very happy to do something for you within my ability."
Seeing the sincerity and passion in Qin Qiu's eyes, Qin Jiayi took a deep breath. She raised her hand and touched her niece's face: "What a good child!"
"Aunt, I'm not young anymore. I'm only seven years younger than you. I'm already a grown-up girl." Qin Qiu protested. She didn't like her family treating her like a child.
"Yes, yes, she's a grown-up girl now. My Qiu'er has grown up so gracefully. When she grows up, I don't know how many boys she will charm!"
After hearing the aunt's joke, Qin Qiu's face instantly turned red, and he scolded: "Aunt!"
After a few months of improved food, her sallow face had become much rosier, she had gained some flesh, and especially she had grown noticeably taller.
Looking at the whole person, there have been obvious changes in both temperament and appearance.
Although she still looks very young and immature, it is not difficult to tell that she will be a beauty in the future.
"Hahaha, you're still shy. Okay, I won't say any more. I know you're shy." Qin Jia smiled and put her feet into the foot basin.
Xiao Xunyou looked at Qin Jia's smile, which was so happy and dazzling that he could not take his eyes away for a moment.
In his mind, Qin Jiayi will always be the most beautiful one.
There was no difference from what he remembered.
"Doctor Xiao, what are you looking at?" Qin Jianye asked Xiao Youxun, who was staring at the fourth brother in a daze, with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes.
Hearing Qin Jianye's voice, Xiao Youxun immediately came back to his senses and said with envy: "Seeing your whole family having so much fun, I'm just a little envious!"
What he said was indeed true. He had never felt any warmth at home since he was a child. All his elders were busy with their careers and political achievements.
He was tired of the days when people at home only talked about business and not family, so when one of the children in the family had to go to the countryside, he raised his hand without hesitation.
After he was able to return, his family sent people to pick him up several times, but he didn't want to go back.
Once he returns, he will have to accept the arrangements made by his family. He wants to be the master of his own life.
"Really? Then why don't you go back and reunite with your family?" Qin Jianye asked.
Xiao Xunyou didn't want to talk about his family, so he changed the subject: "Auntie Qin, your cooking skills are really great. I've eaten so much that I'm so full. If I eat at your house for a while longer, I'm afraid I'll get a lot fatter."
Old Lady Qin smiled and said, "Doctor Xiao, you are not fat. You will look better if you gain some weight."
These days, there are almost no fat people. Most of them are human-shaped clothes poles and as thin as sticks.
If Han'er hadn't brought blessings to the family after his birth, I'm afraid that the people in the Qin family would have been skinny by now.
No matter how beautiful a person is, once he or she is too thin, he or she will just look scary.
