Chapter 125 Boss Zhao has a fever in the middle of the night
The Zhou family did not expect that the people of Qili Village would not reject or make things difficult for them, but would welcome them very much.
One family brought firewood, another brought water, and the woman kindly took them to cut purslane, saying that Shen Qing had heard from the doctor that eating more purslane is good for the body.
Shen Qing and the others knew that Jiang Yu's sister-in-law was also the eldest sister's cousin.
In the past, I seemed to have heard my eldest sister say that he was not a good person, but why is it that what I hear from the villagers now is completely different?
The Zhou family waited until they had a chance to ask Zhou Yan alone, but Zhou Yan replied casually, "You heard wrong. My sister-in-law is the best. There's no one better than her!"
Zhou Family: .....Did they really hear it wrong?
After a while, Shen Qing brought over a piece of smoked meat as a gift. The Zhou family was extremely sure: they had heard it wrong!
Then Zhao Mingyue brought a lot of tofu, weighing three or four pounds!
My eldest sister's father-in-law and Uncle Jiang Wu each gave a pound of malt sugar.
The Zhou family was truly shocked.
Holding Zhou Yan's hand, he repeatedly confirmed: "Our family hasn't done anything yet, and we've already collected so many things on the first day. Is that appropriate?"
"Can you really continue? I hope it won't make things difficult for you in the Jiang family?"
"Big sister, you have to tell the truth. These are all valuable things."
Zhou Yan patiently explained: "You really can take it. Didn't you see that the people who sent the gifts were all from the Jiang family? You are my family, and they are happy for me."
It’s mainly because of my sister-in-law. In the past, I would definitely not be willing to buy these things as gifts, but making them at home is completely different. Plus, I’ve saved some money from selling these things before, so it’s no big deal.
But she won't say these things, she has to let her family remember how good others are to them!
"If they have any problems in the future, just help them out."
Zhou Ershan said cheerfully, "Of course, even if you didn't tell us, we would know!"
Zhou Sanshan followed up, "How could you not understand how our Zhou family conducts themselves? Even if others don't tell us, we would definitely help if we knew."
Zhou Yan thought about it and felt relieved.
In the evening, Zhao Mingyue delivered tofu door to door, and every family ate fresh and tender tofu.
Those who had fish stewed it with their families. The Zhou family came late and had no time to go fishing, so they cut the smoked meat sent by Shen Qing into a dozen thin slices, put them in an iron pan and stir-fried them to release the fat, and then used the fat to coat the entire large iron pan.
Then cut the tofu into thin pieces, put them into a large iron pan and fry them until both sides are golden brown, then pour in boiling water and add the wild grass.
A big pot of tofu soup with bacon and grease is ready!
At dinner, everyone was given a thin slice of meat and more than ten pieces of tofu. The children cheered with joy and ate heartily.
Even the adults were moved when they ate the meat and tofu that they usually didn't want to eat.
I never thought I could have such a good meal while fleeing. I never dared to imagine it before!
After dinner, the Zhou family saw a fire was lit and some young boys were patrolling, so they immediately went to find Zhou Yan to inquire.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "These guys said that since you just arrived, they can't travel quickly these past two days, so they can catch up on sleep during the day. So they did it all together and told their father-in-law that they'll arrange for you to come in when we can travel quickly."
After hearing this, the Zhou family felt warm in their hearts and thought that they had come to the right place!
When they were in Shili Village, not to mention keeping watch, they even argued for several days about firewood and finally parted on bad terms.
Now that we are in Qili Village, my eldest brother no longer has to worry about these things, and everything is in strict order;
With someone patrolling at night, I no longer have to worry as much as before and can sleep well every night.
Zhou Dashan saw Guan the carpenter making a cart again and asked out of curiosity.
Zhou Yan told Boss Zhao about his situation, "My sister-in-law sent me some medicine, but it took a long time to get it, and I don't know if it will work.
Dad said that once Boss Zhao gets better, he'll pack a car to take him and Da Tao out. When Uncle Guan found out, he said it was a good opportunity to catch up on the work these few days. Look, everyone's helping to cut wood and bring it back."
When the Zhou family heard that Shen Qing had delivered the medicine, the Guan family had made the car, and the other families had contributed labor, they sighed, "Your village is really great."
Zhou Yan nodded in the direction of Shili Village across the street, "The two bad families have moved to the other side. And this is your village from now on, we all belong to it together!"
The Zhou family all laughed.
"Yes, it will be ours from now on."

In the middle of the night, Shen Qing was woken up.
Wang Cui's voice was trembling, she was extremely frightened: "The head of the family is burning hot all over. I gave him medicine as you said. The fever subsided after giving him medicine during the day, but it hasn't subsided for so long at night. He is as hot as a furnace.
I really have no other choice but to bother you to ask if there is any other way?"
She also knew that she shouldn't disturb Shen Qing's sweet dreams, but apart from Shen Qing, she had no one to ask, so she could only come and try with her last hope.
Shen Qing was annoyed to think that she had underestimated Boss Zhao's injuries during the day!
Fever-reducing medicines are sometimes not so effective. She drank enough water during the day, and the medicine worked quickly and well, so she became careless and thought everything was fine.
She looked at Wang Cui, who was shaking like a sieve, and said soothingly, "The doctor also taught me a way to lower the fever. Go back and give Brother Zhao more water. I'll be right here."
Placing ice cubes on the forehead, under the armpits, etc. can quickly reduce fever, but taking out ice cubes in the middle of summer is inexplicable, and using ice cubes to cool down is beyond the cognition of people in this dynasty!
Another method is to wipe the forehead, armpits, groin and other places with alcohol. The evaporation of alcohol will take away a lot of body heat, and the body temperature will drop very quickly. Combined with replenishing water, it will promote internal circulation of the body and double the effect.
There was no alcohol here, but she had bought some liquor in Xingcheng before and stored it in the locker. She asked Wang Cui to go back first, partly to make it easier for her to take out the liquor.
Shen Qing was carrying a jar of wine as he headed towards the Zhao family. He saw many people along the way sitting up and looking worriedly in the direction of the Zhao family.
Even though Wang Cui came all the way quietly, how could someone who hadn't slept or was a light sleeper not guess that something was wrong with Boss Zhao? They just went there for fear of causing trouble, and their eyes all followed Shen Qing's movements.
Shen Qing, who had become the hope of the entire village, arrived at the Zhao family at a pace many times faster than usual.
She wiped off the yellow mud seal on the wine jar and gave instructions one by one.
Wang Cui and the children of the Zhao family seemed to have found their backbone, and they wiped everywhere skillfully according to Shen Qing's instructions.
With something to do, the Zhao family felt a lot more at ease and had no time to think about anything else.
After two cups of tea, the eldest son of the Zhao family asked in surprise, "Mom, feel Dad's forehead. Is it not as hot as before?"
Wang Cui hurriedly reached out her hand to try it, then touched a few other places, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's really not as hot as before!"
It was scalding hot before, but now it is hot but obviously much lower.
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately she had a mall with anti-inflammatory drugs, iodine, and antipyretics, and she also stocked up on white wine in advance.
Watching Shen Qing leave, Wang Cui said to her eldest son, "We'll send all the fish we put in the cage tonight to him tomorrow."
The eldest son of the Zhao family said, "Tomorrow won't do! I'll send it every day from now on!"
