"It's okay. Go back and have a good rest for a while and you'll be full of life again."
As soon as Lin Shiyu took her pulse away, Shitou, who was lying on the bed, immediately jumped up and down.
"I'm so tired, I'm so tired!"
For the first time, he realized that lying down all the time was more tiring than working all the time, and the back pain was so uncomfortable.
"Why are you tired? I've been worried sick about this."
Shi Tou's mother slapped the jumping Shi Tou down, then covered her face and started crying.
Shi Tou, who was still immersed in the feeling of finally being liberated, stood there at a loss, not daring to move, when he saw his mother like this.
After a while, Shi Tou's mother still didn't stop. The stationmaster Shi Tou tentatively reached out his hand and touched his mother's head soothingly.
Stone Lady's crying stopped for a moment, and then she cried even louder.
…
Lin Shiyu closed the door gently, leaving space for the mother and son.
"Sister, Xiaopang wants us to go eat lychees, do you want to go?"
Ever since the news that the butt bugs could be sold for money was leaked, these friends haven't seen each other again out of guilt.
Especially Xiaopang, who knew that his father had tricked him into believing something and wanted to sell the borers he dug to make more money. He felt that the friendship between him and his friends was tarnished, and when he saw Lin Boyu and Lin Shiyu from a distance, he dispersed and hid.
For more than a month, Xiaopang has not looked for Lin Boyu, and Lin Boyu has been very busy purchasing herbs and has not looked for Xiaopang and the others.
Lin Boyu was completely unaware of Xiaopang and the others' guilt, so when Xiaopang invited them, he immediately wanted to go.
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
How could Lin Shiyu refuse if there was food to eat?
"Now that you're here, come quickly and look at the lychees I picked." Xiaopang greeted the two and circled around them enthusiastically: "Look, I picked all these, and I picked the biggest ones."
Xiaopang looked very proud when he said this, completely forgetting the scene where he was chased and beaten by his father because he picked only one or two lychees from each bunch, making the lychees in that bunch look bad.
Lin Boyu couldn't wait to take one, peel it open, and put it in his mouth without even looking at it.
The Lin family doesn't have a single lychee tree. The trees they plant are all big trees used to build houses. Don't even think about planting fruit trees.
Seeing her brother eating it with relish, Lin Shiyu also picked one and peeled it.
The lychees at that time were still different from those today. Although Xiaopang said that he picked the biggest ones, they were not very big.
"Sister, why don't you eat?"
Seeing that she didn't move after peeling it off, Lin Boyu couldn't help but ask.
"Eat it, it's delicious."
Xiaopang was also urging her on the side. This was the apology gift he specially selected. As long as Sister Boyu ate it, he would consider it as her forgiveness.
“There are bugs.”
Lin Shiyu pointed to the top of the litchi, where it connected to the stem, and two or three white worms were wriggling on it.
Ancient food safety was guaranteed without pesticides, both for humans and insects.
"Okay, now there are no bugs, eat!"
Lin Boyu took the lychee from her hand, cut it into two pieces, put the side with the worm into his mouth, and gave the remaining intact side back to her.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Shiyu took it and put it in her mouth.
Sour and sweet, it is the taste of nostalgia.
Seeing that Lin Shiyu squinted her eyes while eating, Lin Boyu continued to peel the lychees, doing it the same way as before, giving the good ones to his sister and eating the bad ones himself.
Xiaopang quickly joined in and peeled the lychees, giving the good ones to Boyu's sister and the bad ones to Boyu.
The two of them had their mouths stuffed full by Xiaopang.
"It's delicious, right? There's more here."
The chubby boy came over at some point, holding a basket of lychees in his hand, and looked at the brother and sister with a smile.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Xiaopang stopped the two siblings behind him like a rooster.
Xiaopang's father flicked Xiaopang's forehead with his finger and said, "I gave you food, and you actually rejected it."
"Of course I dislike it. Don't you see what kind of lychees you are holding?"
Xiaopang looked at his father with contempt, not giving him any face at all.
In fact, the lychees his father picked were all normal fruits, but compared with the ones picked out one by one by Xiaopang, the quality was a little worse.
"The young doctor is silent, but you are the only one who talks too much."
"No, uncle, I'm full."
Lin Shiyu spoke up in time. Those were lychees, and eating too much of them would cause internal heatiness. She had to endure it no matter how delicious it was.
"When you're full, give it to your parents to try."
Xiaopang's father said this without giving her a chance to refuse, and turned and left.
"What on earth is he doing here?"
Xiaopang muttered softly, and when everyone was out of sight, he calmed down and continued to feed the brother and sister.
Lin Shiyu had good self-control and refused, but Lin Boyu couldn't. After Xiaopang fed him repeatedly, he almost vomited as he walked out of the village chief's house.
"Come back if you want to eat!"
When the two were leaving, Xiaopang's father appeared out of nowhere and waved goodbye to them enthusiastically.
"Tell me, what bad things do you want to do?"
After the two men disappeared from view, Xiaopang put his hands on his hips, his eyes wide open, and looked at his father with an expression that said, "I knew you had bad intentions."
"Go away, you are the one who did bad things."
Xiaopang’s father didn’t want to pay attention to him, but Xiaopang would never let his father go like this!
"Speak, are you going to tell me or not?"
He ran straight to his father's back and pulled his father's hair, starting a big fight between father and son.
…
"Are you feeling unwell? Why haven't you eaten a single bite of food?"
Liu reached out and touched her son's forehead worriedly: "He doesn't have a fever!"
"Mom, I'm fine. I just ate too much."
Lin Boyu moved his mother's hand away and looked at the dishes on the table with a distressed look on his face.
It was a rare occasion for their family to eat meat, but his stomach was so uncooperative (*?????).
"What can I eat to make myself full?"
Liu reached out to rub his belly, but he dodged her hand: "Mom, I can do it myself."
"You've grown up and know how to be shy." Liu smiled and took her hand back.
"Whose house are we going to eat at today?"
"Xiaopang's house." Lin Boyu answered with a hopeless look.
Flesh, flesh, his flesh!
"What did you eat?" Lin Anru frowned. "Lychees?"
"Yeah, that's right!"
Seeing that his father's expression was not right, Lin Boyu answered hesitantly.
"Did you eat all the lychees? This whole stomach is full?"
Lin Anru rubbed his round belly with her fingers and asked in a dangerous tone.
Lin Boyu swallowed nervously, "Yes... yes."
