Medicine Dao Wanhua

Xia Yunxue carefully observed Fang Chen's expression. Compared with the dead silence of the previous day, Fang Chen looked a little weak and listless now, and although there was faint sadness and melancholy in those black and white eyes, they were very bright and full of life.

Although Xia Yunxue didn't know what the child had gone through, seeing her recover was better than anything else.

"Fang Chen? This name is really nice. Auntie calls you Xiaochen, okay?"

Xia Yunxue's tone was very gentle, which was completely the way adults treat children on weekdays. Although Fang Chen was not used to it—it had been a long, long time since no one had spoken to him like this—but he had no choice but to look like a child now. Therefore, it is impossible for Fang Chen to tell his secret and let the other party treat him as an adult.

So at this time, he just chose to nod silently.

"Xiaochen, can you tell auntie where your home is? Where is your family?" Although Xia Yunxue was worried that this might remind Fang Chen of something sad, she had to ask clearly about this matter. To help her find her family, right?

Xia Yunxue just felt that there was no way her family would not want a cute baby like Fang Chen.

This problem is a thorn in Fang Chen's heart. He can't go back to Wanhua Valley or even Datang, but he will obey his foster father's orders and take good care of himself no matter where he is.

"My adoptive father... is gone..."

Fang Chen couldn't tell his own story, and he didn't want to deceive this woman who was so good to him, so he just said this sentence, which was simple but intriguing.

foster father?Only foster father?This is indeed a thought-provoking sentence, Xia Yunxue automatically imagined a poor orphan whose parents died and lived with his only relative, but the last relative was gone.

"Is Xiaochen's family gone?" Xia Yunxue gently took the child into her arms, and fondled Fang Chen's little head pityingly.

"Hmm..." Fang Chen closed his eyes, trying not to let himself cry anymore, foster father and master and the others definitely didn't want to see him cry.

"What's the matter with you two? Why are you upset so early in the morning? I've already prepared this meal, but I'll wait for you to come out to eat." Fang Chungen's breakfast was ready for a long time, but no one came out to eat, so he went into the room and prepared to call When I saw people in the room, one big and one small hugged each other, I thought it was a mother and daughter at first glance.

"Oh, I forgot, Xiaochen, you must be hungry, let's go eat first." Xia Yunxue recovered after hearing her husband's words, restrained her emotions and asked Fang Chen in her arms.

Fang Chen slid out of her arms in embarrassment, stepped on the small shoes on the ground, and was about to get up.

They were a pair of black cloth shoes, and the toes and heels were still patched. Fang Chen glanced at the feet of Xia Yunxue and Fang Chungen, and found that there were more or less such marks on their shoes. It can be seen that The living conditions of this family or this village are not very good.

After putting on the shoes, Fang Chen felt a little loose. If he walked quickly, he might throw the shoes out if he didn't pay attention.

The breakfast at Fang Chungen's house is very simple, rice mixed with cornmeal, a plate of pickles and the leftover stewed cabbage from last night, without a trace of oil or water.Of course, these were eaten by the two adults. The breakfast they prepared for Fang Chen was a bowl of fragrant egg custard. The steamed smooth and sweet egg custard only dripped a few drops of sesame oil, and it looked very delicious.

The different breakfasts made Fang Chen feel a lot, the couple really took care of him a lot.

Xia Yunxue handed Fang Chen a spoon: "Xiao Chen, eat more, the eggs are just laid by the old hen at home this morning, and they are fresh." Seeing Fang Chen taking the spoon and starting to eat, the posture is standard and very eye-catching, Xia Yunxue Yun Xue was dazed. She had never seen a child who was as dirty as a monkey all day long, wild and incapable of doing anything right. Compared with Fang Chen, it was a heaven and a world.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. During the whole meal, Xia Yunxue's eyes were almost on Fang Chen. Fang Chen, who was eating quietly with her head down, couldn't see the love in her eyes, but Fang Chungen, who was sitting next to Xia Yunxue, could not. Seeing it clearly, I felt a little worried in my heart.

After breakfast, Fang Chen took another dose of medicine and went back to the room to rest. Although his fever subsided, his body hadn't recovered yet. Except for the medicine prescribed by the doctor here, Fang Chen secretly went back to his room to take a rest. He picked a few pills from his purse that did not conflict with the medicine he drank, and took them to restore his body.

His body and bones have been taken care of since he was a child, and now he is not weak even though he is slightly worse than ordinary people. Now that he is getting smaller again, he must work harder to make himself healthier.

The effect of the medicine took effect quickly, and Fang Chen fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

On the other hand, Fang Chun was supposed to go to work in the brigade after breakfast, but he stayed behind, as if he planned to have a deep talk with Xia Yunxue.

"Axue, I think you care too much about that child..." Fang Chungen is not very good at speaking, he thinks that he should not speak too clearly, which will hurt his wife's heart, but he doesn't know how to say it tactfully, So in the end, it became straightforward, "The village head will go to the town to ask for news today, and the child will be brought back by his relatives soon..."

"No way." Xia Yunxue interrupted him, her tone full of joy that she didn't know, "Xiaochen told me that her parents are gone, not even the only adoptive father who raised him , she is alone now."

"What?" Fang Chungen was very surprised. He didn't expect the fact to be like this. "That child told you?"

"Yeah, it's no wonder she was so sad yesterday, she's such a poor child." Xia Yunxue frowned and felt sorry for what happened before.

"Then you should take good care of it first." Fang Chungen felt that this matter had to wait for Fang Minshu to come back from the town. After all, children are always unable to express themselves clearly, and even without their parents, they may have other relatives. .

"It's up to you to say." Xia Yunxue gave her husband a white look, and pushed him, "Hurry up, or you will be late."

Fang Chungen just went out with a hoe. Today he has to go to the brigade to report. The brigade is taking advantage of the winter slack time to organize people to repair rivers and roads. Fang Chungen is in his prime, so naturally he has to contribute.

The brigade also organizes women in the village to help with light jobs such as cooking and delivering tea. Although the work points given are less than the labor of road construction, it is still an income, so many people sign up. Xia Yunxue was also planning to go. , but she couldn't do heavy work, and she didn't look as strong as those aunts and looked strong, so she was brushed off, and she simply stayed at home to do some housework.

Xia Yunxue fed the chickens, then went into the house to look at Fang Chen, saw that she was already asleep, she backed out and sat on a low stool at the door of the room, picking vegetables while basking in the sun, looking up from time to time into the room the child's condition.

"Daughter-in-law Chungen, are you home?"

"Here." Xia Yunxue knew immediately that it was Aunt Liu next door. Aunt Liu had a loud voice, and she could hear her voice clearly from far away. She looked back and saw Fang Chen on the bed. He was not woken up, and hurriedly greeted him.

The gate of the yard was open, and Liu Jinhua walked in with her things in her arms. Seeing Xia Yunxue, she asked, "I'm free to chat with you, and I'll take a look at the baby you picked up at your house. I heard Chungen say that Is the baby cured?"

"Well, the fever has subsided. I took the medicine in the morning and fell asleep. Auntie, you sit in the room." Xia Yunxue walked in to meet the people.

"Since I'm asleep, I won't go in. I'll just sit in the yard. It's a good day and it's comfortable to bask in." Liu Jinhua sat down on the threshold by herself, "Does my second girl's clothes still fit?"

Xia Yunxue poured water for her, then returned to the original low stool and sat down: "The clothes fit well, but the shoes are a little too big." I knew that these shoes must not fit my feet, the heel space was so empty that I could put a finger in it, and it still made a rattling sound when I walked.

"My child's feet grow fast, and Erniu's shoes are specially made bigger by me." Liu Jinhua put the things in her arms in her arms. In a dustpan, there were needles and thread, half-finished soles, and an oiled paper bag. bag.

She took out the paper bag and handed it to Xia Yunxue. Worried about disturbing the children in the room, she lowered her voice a lot, "This is the candied dates I made first. I heard that Dr. Feng prescribed traditional Chinese medicine. So I wrapped some of it and gave it to the children to suppress the taste."

"How did this happen? Just keep this thing for your second girl, I can't take it." Xia Yunxue hastily postponed, although she was worried that Fang Chen was suffering from the medicine, thinking about taking it. Don't go to someone's house to exchange for some candy, but she can't accept what they give you.

"Take it, it's not for you." Liu Jinhua frowned, and pushed the thing directly into her arms, "Besides, it's not a rare thing. If you don't take it, I won't be happy, auntie!"

"Then thank you, auntie." Xia Yunxue saw her face darken and knew that delaying would really hurt her feelings, so she put away the things.

Seeing that Xia Yunxue took the things, Liu Jinhua was happy now, "Daughter-in-law Chungen, has this child asked what's going on? Don't tell me there are kidnappers around here?" Liu Jinhua came here today to check the situation After inquiring about this, a few years ago, a kidnapper really came here, and a boy was lost in Hedong Village on the other side of the river, and he hasn't been found yet.

"The child is still young, so after asking for a long time, I still can't figure out how he came here." Xia Yunxue was also worried about this matter.

In fact, where Fang Chen couldn't tell, he really didn't know how he got here, so naturally he couldn't answer.

"Anyway, we have to be careful. Later, I have to tell everyone not to let the baby at home run around outside. If you lose it, you can't get it back." Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, Liu Jinhua felt that this Things need attention.
