"Yeah, good morning."
Qin Li replied lightly, his tone much gentler than yesterday.
Seeing Chen Tan go to the bathroom, he added, "There's hot water in the kitchen."
After saying that, he carried the bucket and left.
Chen Tan said "Oh", took the brush for washing up, took out his enamel basin and went to the kitchen.
The Qin family's kitchen is very large. In addition to the stove and water tank, there is also a large wooden cabinet, a square dining table and four chairs, and four long benches stacked behind the door.
The stove was very simple, with a small iron pot for frying inside and a ceramic pot for steaming rice and making porridge outside.
The sweet potato porridge was emitting a fragrant aroma in the earthenware pot.
She gently stirred the sweet potato porridge with a wooden spoon.
There was no mess at all on the bottom.
Next to the stove, there is an iron barrel stove that burns honeycomb coal, and on it is a big-bellied double-handled ceramic pot.
There was steam rising from the pot. Chen Tan used a gourd ladle to scoop three scoops of hot water and then added three scoops of cold water.
Then, take the hot water and go to the side to wash your face with a brush.
Qin Li came back with water again, and Chen Tan was cleaning the yard.
Thinking of her injury, he suddenly said, "Wait until you're well before doing these things. Go take your medicine."
"Okay, then I'll heat up last night's leftovers. I'm almost ready to go to work."
In the original owner's memory, it was late September and the rice in the fields had just been harvested.
It is the time to harvest corn, sweet potatoes and soybeans.
Next, plant wheat, dig pond mud, and reclaim the mountain...
We worked until the ground was covered with snow.
"I don't have to work today or tomorrow. It's still early. Take your medicine and go to sleep."
After Qin Li finished speaking, he picked up the broom and cleaned the yard.
Chen Tan said "Oh" softly, went into the kitchen to heat up the medicine juice he had prepared last night and drank it, then went to the bathroom to get a cup of spiritual spring water to drink before going to the bedroom to sleep.
Three hours later, it was daybreak, but she still hadn't woken up.
Qin Li walked into the room and pushed her arm, "Get up and eat."
"Um?"
Chen Tan opened his eyes in confusion and met Qin Li's face.
His facial features were clear and smooth, and his eyebrows were as black as ink, like two swords standing horizontally above his eyes.
The deep and gloomy phoenix eyes always contain a careless coldness.
The lips are full and sexy, and the color is red but not bright.
The short stubble around his chin makes him look rough and wild, but also manly.
As luck would have it, Qin Li did not miss the momentary surprise in her eyes.
However, he didn't understand why she was so stunning.
After all, the young girls in each brigade now have their hearts and eyes full of those male educated youth from outside.
Her fair face and scholarly air made the black men in the village look like a pile of dog shit, as if they would feel sick just by looking at her.
After he left, Chen Tan got up quickly and put on Qin Qiuniang's old clothes, including autumn clothes made of homespun cotton cloth inside and a dark blue cotton jacket outside.
Although there are a few patches of scars, it is still very warm.
When they arrived in the kitchen, Qin Li and Qin Qiuniang were talking about something, with smiles on their faces.
Seeing that they had already set the table, Chen Tan sat down opposite Qin Li and looked at Qin Qiuniang with guilt, "Grandma, I forgot this morning. I won't do it again."
Qin Qiuniang smiled kindly, "It's okay, the medicine you drank has a sleeping effect, get more sleep and your injury will heal faster. Come and eat."
"Um!"
Chen Tan picked up the bowl with a smile. The sweet potato porridge inside was still a little hot, but the weather was cold now, so it warmed the stomach.
Looking at her well-behaved appearance, a look of satisfaction flashed in Qin Li's eyes.
After dinner, Qin Li helped Qin Qiuniang to the yard to bask in the sun, and asked Chen Tan to go back to the house to lie down.
For some reason, Chen Tan felt uncomfortable in his stomach again.
She ran to the backyard and finally saw what was planted in the vegetable patch.
There are five or six square meters of each of radish, cabbage, spinach, green onion, garlic sprouts, coriander and green vegetables.
She squatted in the toilet for half an hour, and after clearing out the garbage in her stomach, she wanted to enter the space, but there was no response at all.
It seems that no one is allowed to enter her space.
When they arrived at the front yard, Qin Li asked her to go back to the house and sleep and not to walk around.
Chen Tan obediently went into the bedroom and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
It was Qin Li who woke her up during lunch.
Qin Li made a soft noodle soup and poured egg flowers into it.
Chen Tan ate two large bowls in a row and still didn't feel full.
She knew that this body was starving and she always wanted to eat more.
She didn't continue eating because she was afraid of hurting her stomach.
The three of them had just finished their meal when Wu Xia and her son Wei Xiao came over.
After saying hello to Shen Tan, Wei Xiao called Qin Li away.
Wu Xia quickly cleaned up the kitchen, brought a basin of hot water, and changed the medicine on the agarwood.
When she untied the cotton cloth wrapped around Shen Tan's upper body and wiped off the medicinal mud, she exclaimed.
"Oh, Uncle Xie's medicine is really good. Cauliflower, your back injury has healed. In three days, you won't need to apply medicine anymore."
Chen Tan knelt on the kang, his eyes looking at the wall with a smile on his face.
Although the spiritual spring water does not have an immediate effect, it seems to be quite effective.
She echoed Wu Xia's words and said, "When I get better, I will definitely go and thank Doctor Xie."
"As long as you don't mind annoying him, go ahead."
Wu Xia smiled and reapplied medicine to Chen Tan's back, then unbuttoned her pants.
Chen Tan quickly grabbed her hand. "Auntie, I'll apply the medicine on my lower body myself."
It would have been fine if she had fainted yesterday, but now that she's awake, she feels really embarrassed to let someone give her medicine.
"Why are you shy, little girl? I'm a woman," Wu Xia teased her. "Yesterday I looked all over you and even touched you clean, haha."
"Auntie," Chen Tan said coquettishly, knowing that the touch she said meant wiping her body, so she said in a coquettish tone, "I want to wash myself."
"Okay, okay, auntie, go out. You can't reach the place where you need to apply the medicine. Call me." Wu Xia smiled and smoothed Chen Tan's hair, then turned and left. "What a loving child."
Looking at the door closed by Wu Xia, Chen Tan took off his pants, untied the cloth wrapped around his hips and thighs, and scrubbed off the black medicine mud with hot water.
The wound I got yesterday morning has now healed to one spot, leaving only a bright red scar.
This is definitely not due to Doctor Xie's medicine. No matter how good the medicine is, it can't have such an effect.
It was the spiritual spring water she drank that worked.
She took out half a cup of spiritual spring water, put it in the washbasin, and used a towel dipped in the spiritual spring water to wipe her buttocks and thighs, as well as the old wounds caused by the Shen family beating her with bamboo sticks.
In the short term, there is no change.
In order to test the effect of Lingquan Water on external injuries, she did not apply any more medicine.
She put on her clothes and poured the remaining spiritual spring water into the hot water in the basin to soak her feet.
After soaking, my body felt warm and the pain seemed to have disappeared a lot.
She came out with the foot basin. Wu Xia, who was talking to Qin Qiuniang in the yard, hurriedly took the basin and poured the water under a cluster of jade tea trees outside the yard.
A skinny woman suddenly ran up from the dirt road on the hillside, smiling, "Aunt Wei!"
"Huh?" Wu Xia looked at her with doubtful eyes, holding the basin. "You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen Changfu family, right?"
