The married husband is a grandfather

When it was dark, Chu Dacai hurried back from the outside. Liu Yuniang stood at the door looking forward to see through, and finally hoped for people to come back.

"Master, how is it? Have you borrowed any money?"

Chu Da sighed heavily, and waved his hands, "Don't talk about it, take this ginseng and give it to the boss."

Seeing Chu Da's appearance, Liu Yuniang knew that she might not have borrowed any money, but where did this ginseng come from?

"Qiuqiu, go to the kitchen and bring the food to your father."

Chu Qiu was in the room, and when he heard his mother's voice, he ran out in a hurry. They had already had dinner, and the dinner his mother specially left for his father had been simmering in the pot, and it was still hot at the moment.

Chu Qiu brought out the food to his father, and Chu Da picked up the bowl and ate the food in a flustered manner, and soon Chu Da ate up the whole bowl of food.

Liu Yunniang had already gone to the kitchen to make medicine for Chu Yu, and Chu Qiu was sitting next to Chu Da, her small face was illuminated by the candlelight, her thin dark eyes looked extraordinarily bright.

Chu Da put down the bowl and saw Chu Qiu who was sitting next to him. Only then did he notice that Chu Qiu was thirteen, old enough to be married, but he looked thin, with sallow skin and dry hair. Although it is not enough for Chu Qiu to be hungry, part of the money in the family is used to buy medicine for Liu Yunniang, and the other part is taken away by his parents and two younger brothers in the autumn wind every month, because he has guilt in his heart and it is his blood relatives. , Chu Da never complained.

But today he went to ask his parents to lend money to Chu Yu for medical treatment. He saw Chu Mian, the brother of his third brother who was the same age as Qiuqiu, with black and thick hair, fair and shiny skin, and no calluses on his hands. from.

Chu Da never asked his parents and brothers for more than half a penny in the past, but his parents and brothers asked him a lot, but when he went to borrow money today, everyone cried to him and said that they really couldn't move half a cent. Chu Pinggui's family, who helped carry Chu Yu back today, lent him some money and asked him to go to the town to buy medicine for Chu Yu.

Chu Da hurried along the way for fear of delaying Chu Yu's illness, and he didn't have the time to think about it, but now that he took a break, Chu Da felt very uncomfortable.

The blood relatives don't care about it, but the neighbors donate generously. When Chu Da sees his brother again, even a tough man can't help crying.

At the beginning he married Liu Yunniang, and Liu Yunniang had nothing to do for two years, Chu Da's mother wanted him to divorce his wife, but Chu Da refused. Later, his mother took a step back and said to give him a concubine. Few people in the farm family can marry As a concubine, it is good enough to be able to marry a wife, but their family is not bad in the village. Chu Da’s mother asked a matchmaker to give him a concubine. Chu Da is a dutiful son. I felt very sorry for my parents, now that it would cost a lot of money to raise a concubine for him, he was ready to agree in a moment of soft-heartedness.

But at night when he was half asleep and half awake, he heard his wife coughing softly and sobbing softly. He turned his head and looked at the lingling moonlight. Liu Yunniang was biting a piece of cloth in her mouth, swallowing all the coughing sounds , At that moment, Chu Da's heart ached, his eyes burned, and he lay back without making a sound.

His wife was afraid of waking him up to such an extent, at that moment Chu Da decided that he would never marry anyone else.

It is conceivable that he refused his parents' request to raise a concubine, so he was separated by his parents, and nothing was given to the two of them. Even so, Chu Da felt that it was his unfilial son, so he had no complaints against his parents.

Later, when their family had Chu Yu and Chu Qiu, their parents were willing to let them walk around during the festivals. Therefore, Chu Da’s two younger brothers often came to the house to enjoy the autumn breeze. In the past, Chu Da didn’t care. After all, he owed the family. But today he really felt chilled.

Liu Yuniang took the medicine to feed Chu Yu, but Chu Yu couldn't drink anything, and in the end Chu Da forced him to drink it down. Liu Yuniang wiped away tears when she saw it.

Song Qingye drank the medicine at night, and Chu Qiu decocted it for him. Chu Qiu said that the medicine was bought by his brother in exchange for his life, so it should not be wasted.

Song Qingye, a modern person, didn't know how long he hadn't drank such a bitter thing. Before he got close to a bowl of dark Chinese medicine, he could smell a bitter and unpleasant taste.

Song Qingye closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp, almost spit it out, Chu Qiu covered his mouth, "I can't spit it out, my brother picked it so hard."

Song Qingye was covered by Chu Qiu's feet. He subconsciously wanted to grab the hand that was reaching out to him, and then break it, but when he saw Chu Qiu's black eyes that looked like calves, he immediately realized that this is not the case. In the last days, he doesn't need to be so worried and vigilant all the time. He controlled himself and didn't move, because he really couldn't spit out the medicine when his mouth was covered. He knew that Chu Qiu looked thin and weak in his heart. Weak and easy to deceive.

The effect of the medicine was a bit drastic, and Song Qingye was so sleepy not long after taking the medicine, he crawled onto the bed with a quilt all over his body, and fell asleep.

After a night without dreams, when Song Qingye woke up the next day, he felt much better, and his limbs were no longer top-heavy. He was wearing Chu Qiu's new clothes. Chu Qiu hadn't had time to wear them yet, and they made them bigger on purpose. Children grow fast, so the clothes of children from poor families generally don't fit well, but how old is Song Qingye compared to Chu Qiu?

Fortunately, the weather is warm, so there is no big problem in just wearing it.

Song Qingye opened the door and went out. Chu Qiu had already fed the pigs and cleaned the pigsty. Now he just picked up a few eggs from the chicken coop, "These eggs are going to be saved for my brother to buy medicine. Stop eating."

Song Qingye didn't have any preference for eggs. Song Qingye was already very grateful to be able to give him a bite of food when his family was in trouble, and he would never try to grab these eggs.

"How is your brother?"

Chu Qiu shook his head, "I haven't woken up yet."

Chu Qiu entered the house, and then went to the kitchen. Song Qingye went to the yard and scooped up a ladle of water to wash his face. There was a willow planted beside him. He went over and picked a young willow branch for brushing his teeth. The prototype of the toothpick, Li Shizhen also said that the tender willow "cuts into tooth branches, which is very good for cleaning teeth".

After all, Song Qingye was also embarrassed to ask Chu Qiu to take out his family's salt to clean his mouth. Although he didn't know the price here, the ancient salt was not cheap in his mind.

After Song Qingye finished washing, Liu Yunniang just came back, holding a cloth bag in her hand, she smiled at Song Qingye after seeing him, the tiredness on her face couldn't be concealed at all.

"Qingye, how does your body feel? But the wind is not blowing, so go into the house and lie down."

"Auntie is worried, I drank the soup last night and woke up this morning feeling better."

Liu Yunniang smiled when she heard the words, "There is no miracle medicine that will heal you as soon as you take it, you can coax your aunt, go into the house quickly, I will make breakfast right away."

Song Qingye was not used to Liu Yuniang's kindness, but he tried his best to get used to this world without bloodshed and slaughter.

Probably after staying in the last days for a long time, it is difficult for Song Qingye to feel the innocence and kindness between people. He feels more interests and the ugly side of human nature. Compared with zombies in the last days, the human heart is What's more frightening is that women and children are more guarded against than zombies. Maybe when you let your guard down and reach out to them, they will stab you when you are not prepared.

Song Qingye had seen this kind of thing too much, and he even became numb later on, so when he was thrown away by his teammates or even made up the knife, Song Qingye didn't feel the grief and anger of being betrayed, he even felt it sadly The world is as it should be.

They ate brown rice porridge for breakfast. Although it was very thin, it was very fragrant. Song Qingye also ate such thin porridge when there were no supplies in the last days, but it was not as fragrant as Liu Yunniang's cooking without washing a large pot of rice.

"I'll go to the field to deliver breakfast to Dad."

Chu Qiu quickly finished his breakfast, then went to the kitchen and took a basket, put the food and steamed buns in it, and went out with the basket.

Liu Yuniang brought the porridge into Chu Yu's room. After breakfast, Song Qingye put the bowl into the kitchen to wash. Cleaned up and said a few words to him, so that he can recuperate well, and she can do these things.

"I'm fine if I'm idle, as long as I don't exercise vigorously, it shouldn't be a serious problem."

Speaking of Song Qingye took the bowl from Liu Yunniang's hand and began to wash it, Liu Yunniang actually felt a little resentful towards Song Qingye in her heart, but Song Qingye offered to help when he was still sick, and his diligence made her feel distressed, so how could she blame him? .

After tidying up the kitchen, Liu Yuniang decocted the medicine for Chu Yu. While decocting the medicine, she took out the bag she brought home this morning, opened it, and Song Qingye discovered that it was some embroidery patterns. People embroider things to subsidize their families.

Song Qingye found that they were all simple embroidery patterns of flowers, birds and fish, and he only needed to embroider them. He watched Liu Yuniang embroider for a while, and found it very simple, so he said to Liu Yuniang, "Auntie, how much money do you need to embroider this pair?"

Liu Yunniang pointed to the small handkerchief and said, "This kind of small five-cent coin a piece, this kind of larger ten-cent coin, if the pattern is complicated, the price is different."

Song Qingye nodded, thinking how much this pure handwork would be worth in modern times, it would be a waste of money.

"Auntie, I think these patterns look similar, and the patterns are also simple. Do you have any new patterns?"

Liu Yunniang only thought that Song Qingye was boring, and she didn't think too much about chatting with him, so she told him truthfully: "It's accepted, but there are not many painters in our village, but anyone who can hold a pen wants to be a master. I don’t want to paint flowers for our women’s family. These were painted by an old scholar in exchange for some rice coins. I went there a few years ago, and these flowers have been used for many years.”

Song Qingye nodded, thought for a moment and said to Liu Yuniang: "Auntie, I have learned how to paint, and I have a few pictures in my mind. I don't know if I can use them."

Liu Yunniang was shocked when she heard the words, and after looking at Song Qingye suspiciously, she said, "Are you willing?"
