green grass on the stream

After returning to the work of harvesting rice, the two resumed their past leisurely life.

When the rice is ripe, the barnyardgrass among the heavy ears of grain is also ripe.Barnyardgrass hinders the growth of rice and is one of the most hated weeds by farmers.

But none of this had anything to do with Qi Yanfan, all he was thinking about right now was where to gather some barnyard grass seeds to fill his pillow.

He refused Ji Tingyu's help, and ran around under Qiuhu's fierce sun for several days, and Qi Yanfan ran all over the fields that should be run.

He picked a big sack full, picked it carefully, dried it, and stuffed it into a newly sewn pillowcase.

Pillows filled with barnyardgrass seeds are very comfortable to sleep on, and can be adjusted at will according to the shape of the head and preferences.

He put the two new pillows side by side at the head of the bed, stared at them for a while, and his heart was as warm as barnyard grass seeds.The smell of sunlight left on the cotton cloth, like barnyard grass rustling in the wind, caressed his nerves.

This is his intention to arrange for their new life.

Qi Yanfan cut another big golden pumpkin, and set aside the seeds properly to dry.He dug a few more sweet potatoes from the ground, thinking of making sweet potato and pumpkin pancakes for Ji Tingyu to try.

Sweet potatoes and pumpkins are steamed and pressed with a spoon to make puree.Put the mashed sweet potato in the palm of your hand, dig out a concave shape, fill it with pumpkin filling, wrap it up, and press it into a palm-sized pancake.

Heat oil in a pan, and fry the sweet potato cakes one by one until they are browned on both sides.The outer skin is fragrant, the inner filling is soft, and the pumpkin is crispy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hearty pumpkin pie.

The two sat in the room with the cake and ate it. They had to wheeze a few times after taking a bite, otherwise it would be very hot.

They looked at me, I looked at you, and they all grinned at the same time.

In the shed outside the house, the chickens have already entered the nest, and there are soft crows and cuckoos from time to time.

The firewood was piled up so high that it almost touched the roof of the shed.On the shelf next to it, sweet potatoes are stacked on the bottom floor, Chinese cabbage and a few radishes are neatly stacked on the second floor, baskets for chestnuts, dried radishes, and dried mushrooms are placed on the third floor, and autumn vegetables are placed on the fourth floor. Harvested soybeans.There are also many corn cobs hanging on the roof of the shed.

Qi Yanfan extravagantly poured out a small dish of sugar, dipped the pumpkin pie in his mouth, and ate it sweetly. Looking at his increasingly rich yard, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Ji Tingyu wiped off the powdered sugar on the corner of his mouth with his thumb, retracted his finger and licked it with his tongue.

"Is there any stain on your face?" Qi Yanfan asked.

"Yes." Ji Tingyu leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Qi Yanfan squinted his eyes and took another bite of the pancake, like a little mouse that stole oil.He looked at the people sitting beside him, the life he wanted was getting closer and closer.

The things at home were almost finished, Ji Tingyu proposed to take Qi Yanfan to the town.

"What are you going to do? I don't have anything to buy recently?" Since they entrusted the shopkeeper Chen, they don't need them to go to the town for many things. Pickled a few jars of pickles.

Ji Tingyu had no choice but to tell the truth: "You are not in good health, I want to take you to see a doctor, and take advantage of the winter to recuperate."

Qi Yanfan wanted to refuse at first, but he didn't know what was going on with his body before, maybe it would be better to go and have a look, at least he had a better idea.

Ji Tingyu saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and said anxiously: "Be obedient, don't worry me, we will be together till the end of life."

Qi Yanfan blushed a little, nodded his head in agreement.

When the two arrived in the town, they found a medical clinic with a plaque of "Hanging Pot to Help the World" hung high on it.

Qi Yanfan smelled the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine wafting out of it, and wrinkled his nose, feeling a little apprehensive.

Ji Tingyu took his hand and led him in.

Sitting in the hall was an old doctor with half-white beard and hair. He raised his drooping eyelids to look at them and asked, "Who is the doctor?"

Qi Yanfan hurriedly broke away from Ji Tingyu's hand, blushed and hurriedly sat in front of the table and said, "It's me..."

The old doctor motioned him to put his hand on the pulse pillow, and took another thin handkerchief to cover his wrist before starting to feel the pulse.Qi Yanfan was surprised. He had never seen Chinese medicine before, and he didn't know whether it was reliable or not.

The old doctor stroked the small goatee, pondered for a while, and then slowly asked: "Does Madam often feel dizzy and tired, and occasionally have shortness of breath?"

The old doctor's speech was a bit slurred as he got older, but Qi Yanfan still heard his "madam" clearly, and instantly thought that they might have met a blind doctor, but the symptoms described were very appropriate, so he coughed After a while, he replied: "Yes."

The old doctor nodded, then turned his head and said to Ji Tingyu next to him: "Madam's qi is deficient, and the meridians in the body are blocked, and the blockage is serious. I will prescribe a dredging prescription and some warming and tonic things, and we can adjust it slowly." .”

Qi Yanfan looked at Ji Tingyu with a tingly scalp and thanked him, and the little apprentice led them to the counter to pay for the medicine.

Qi Yanfan stood up and followed, tugged at Ji Tingyu's sleeves, and asked quietly in a voice audible to both of them: "This doctor is talking nonsense, why do you still trust him?"

"He can't be talking nonsense," Ji Tingyu raised his mouth slightly, "I think it's quite right, you will always be mine..."

The last two words were omitted by Ji Tingyu, but Qi Yanfan still turned his head and ignored him in embarrassment.

The two of them left the clinic and went to buy a stove and medicine jars.

Qi Yanfan asked sullenly, "Will you drink for a long time?" Although he also felt that his body was not capable of doing what he wanted, the blockage of the meridians seemed serious.

"Drink it for a while to see the effect."

Qi Yanfan couldn't help but sigh when he thought that almost all the money the two of them earned this year was used up.

"Why, afraid of suffering?" Ji Tingyu asked.

"Who is afraid of suffering!"

Ji Tingyu led people to a shop called "Xiang Man Tang", which sold all kinds of candied fruit and candies.

Qi Yanfan was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't want to take away Ji Tingyu's kindness, so he carefully picked out some dried peaches, jujubes and mung bean cakes.

As soon as he went out, he was stopped by a young woman's voice: "Young master, please stay."

The woman was wearing a lotus-colored tulle skirt, with a graceful figure, almond eyes and cherry lips, and a pretty face. She said softly: "The little girl's name is Yang Xizhen. I saw you in Xiangmantang last time, and I'm here again today." I met you, it's really a fate, I wonder if the young master can sit in the teahouse for a while?"

Qi Yanfan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Tingyu, and Ji Tingyu said, "I'm going home to cook for my wife."

Hearing these words, both Qi Yanfan and Yang Xizhen were taken aback.

She never thought that this man already had a family, Yang Xizhen was a little annoyed, and even though she was handsome, but she spoke rudely and cooked, she was really unmanly.Some forced smiles appeared on her face, and she left as if she had bid farewell.

Qi Yanfan never thought that he would refuse so politely, and he was actually quite happy in his heart.Firstly, this Yang Xizhen is a woman, and secondly, she was born well, she looks like a lady from a wealthy family.In comparison, Zhang Qing from the east of the village was nothing, she was Zhang Mengmeng!

Ji Tingyu said: "Don't think about it, I just came here when I bought you honey last time, and I don't know her at all."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm afraid you're not happy."

"how come!"

"Just now he looked like a little rooster who wanted to fight." Ji Tingyu made a rare joke.

Qi Yanfan blushed and said, "You just need to cook for me."

Ji Tingyu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately spotted his red ear tips, hurriedly took two steps and chased after him with a smile.
