On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Zhiyi and Xu Sheng went to Pei Yan's house for dinner. Fang Hai and Fang Yingzi were also there.
Basically, Fang Hai and Fang Yingzi often come to the Pei family during these family reunion holidays.
Grandma Dong really loves these two children, just like Pei Yan, and treats them as her own grandchildren.
Xu Sheng has become familiar with Fang Hai these days. Fang Hai even took him to the river to catch fish in the middle of winter.
Xu grew up in the city and didn't know how to play like the kids from the countryside, so he just joined in the fun.
Not to mention catching fish, he is not afraid of the cold and even swims barefoot in the river.
The water level drops in winter, and the deepest part is only up to the knee.
Xu Zhiyi didn't care about him. It was normal for boys to be a little restless. If he had a cold, he could just boil a bowl of herbal soup and drink it.
It's just that people think it's too hard.
Xu Sheng still wanted to go to the mountains, but Fang Hai didn't dare to take him there alone.
If it is winter and wild animals can't find food, they can provide food right at their doorstep.
Fang Hai knew his limits and took him to play near Xiangyang Village.
It’s a pity that if we come here in autumn, we can go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, catch rabbits, and set traps.
Xu Sheng was really itching to go see his second sister again in the fall.
After playing crazy games with Fang Hai for several days, as expected, I took off my coat when I was tired, and caught a cold when the cold wind blew.
The next day I woke up with a runny nose and sneezing.
"Huff! Huff!" Xu Sheng sneezed twice in a row, and his throat was hoarse.
"Come! Drink the medicine quickly, and you'll be fine after a good sleep." Xu Zhiyi was holding a bowl of black medicine.
As soon as Xu Zhiyi came in, he could smell the bitterness of the medicine.
Xu Sheng's nose became dull due to illness, so he took the bowl and took a sip.
In an instant, his whole face was distorted and he couldn't help but spit out the medicine in his mouth.
"Don't spit it out, swallow it." Xu Zhiyi closed his mouth manually.
Unable to spit it out and his mouth tasted too bitter, Xu Sheng had no choice but to swallow it.
"Second sister, which quack doctor prescribed this medicine? It's too bitter!"
Mr. Xu had an accusing look on his face, and he only took one sip.
"I drove it!" Xu Zhiyi said expressionlessly.
"I was wondering why it was so hard! No? When will you see a doctor?"
It’s over, it’s over. I just took a sip, so I should be fine.
Even if it is poisonous, it should be of low toxicity.
Xu Zhiyi knocked Xu Sheng on the head.
"Talk to an old Chinese medicine practitioner. Drink it while it's hot. I guarantee it will work quickly after you finish it."
The bitter taste lingered in his mouth for a long time, making Xu Sheng unable to swallow it.
"Second sister, go and do your thing. I'll drink later."
"It's too hot. Let me cool down for a while."
Mr. Xu looked serious and flattered Xu Zhiyi.
"It's not hot anymore. I brought it over and it's ready to drink. Drink it quickly, and I'll go wash the dishes."
Xu Zhiyi sat down on the stool next to him, as if she was determined to see him finish drinking.
Xu Sheng also wanted to wait until Xu Zhiyi left and then secretly pour it out.
He is a grown man, it's just a minor cold and he recovered quickly, so there is no need to take medicine.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xu Sheng finished it in one breath with a fearless look on his face.
It's like making up for all the hardships I've suffered in the past ten years.
Xu Sheng was so miserable that he had no desire to live, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.
Suddenly, something was stuffed into his mouth. Xu Sheng bit it subconsciously, and his eyes lit up.
Sweet.
White Rabbit Milk Candy!
"After eating the candy, I'll go back to sleep. It's getting cold, so I'll stay at home today."
Xu Zhiyi walked out with the bowl in her hand, and heard Xu Sheng's words as she reached the door.
"Thank you, second sister."
Xu Sheng spoke very quietly, but Xu Zhiyi still heard it.
What should I do?
Next time I will not add Coptis chinensis when making medicine.
Xu Zhiyi had just finished washing the dishes when she heard someone knocking on the door.
When she went to open the door, she saw Chen Zhaodi, who hadn't been there for a few days.
"Zhaodi, come in quickly."
"Zhiyi, I've finished reading this book and I'm here to return it."
Shen Zhaodi smiled shyly and walked in.
"It's okay, take your time reading. I have other books you can read too."
Xu Zhiyi likes people who love to learn, and she can see that Shen Zhaodi really likes to study.
There was a glint in her eyes when she read.
There is a thirst for knowledge.
"Zhao Di, study hard. Maybe in a few years you can take the college entrance exam."
Xu Zhiyi thought it was just a casual remark, but it had a different meaning.
"I can't do it. I know too little." Shen Zhaodi lowered her head, not even daring to think about it.
"Then learn more now. It will come in handy eventually. If there's a chance in the future, it would be nice to try it out."
Xu Zhiyi offered words of encouragement, "Our birth is a gift from our parents; we have no say in it. But we can decide what kind of life we want to live in the future and work hard for it."
“Don’t deny yourself before you even begin. Only after you’ve given it your all will you know if you can succeed.”
"Zhao Di, you are a great girl. Just do what you want to do. Don't wait until you look back and regret it later."
Xu Zhiyi's words stirred up a storm in Shen Zhaodi's heart.
In a family that favors boys over girls, she has always been the one who is ignored and exploited.
No one had ever been so sure of her.
No one ever told her that she could work hard and have a different life on her own.
Then try hard and see what the results will be.
