No pain no gain

……

"Rest well, and call someone if you feel uncomfortable!" Da Zhuang calmed down, told the fool, and walked out of the room quickly.

"Da Zhuang...cough cough..." The idiot coughed violently in a panic.

Da Zhuang hardened his heart and walked to the door of the room and heard the heart-piercing cough of the fool, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace...

"Drink more water!" Da Zhuang brought in the water bottle and fed half a glass of water to the fool's mouth.

Seeing that Da Zhuang came back again, the idiot showed joy on his face, took a few sips of water from Da Zhuang's hand, his cough gradually subsided, and looked at Da Zhuang without blinking.

"Where were you last night?" Da Zhuang moved the stool to the edge of the kang and asked sternly.

The idiot's eyes finally flickered, and he slowly replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to go home."

"I asked where were you last night?" Da Zhuang slightly raised his voice and asked.

"No, I don't know, I don't know..." the fool replied honestly.

Da Zhuang frowned, the fool hadn't lost his way for a long time, and even though those endless mountains were right in front of him, there was still a long way to go to the foot of the mountain...

"What did I tell you last night?" Da Zhuang continued to ask, with raging anger rising involuntarily in his heart.

"There are guests, and it's the Chinese New Year, so go home and go to sleep." Seeing Da Zhuang's gloomy face, the fool shrank slightly.

"How did you do it?" Da Zhuang asked, waiting for the fool.

"I, I'm not happy..."

"Why are you unhappy? If you are unhappy, you will go to the mountains alone to freeze overnight, right? Do you know how cold it is at night, and how many beasts there are on the mountains that cannot find food in winter..." Da Zhuang interrupted the fool He answered with a stern face and asked.

The fool shook his head and didn't speak.

"How did I teach you before! If you don't tell others, how will others know what you think..." Da Zhuang said impatiently.

The fool looked at Da Zhuang and said seriously: "I like being with Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, Zhao, and Zi Yang are different..."

Although what the idiot said was vague, it can be said that the idiot was taught by Da Zhuang, and Da Zhuang could easily figure out what the idiot meant.

"I remember I never taught you to be so narrow-minded!" Da Zhuang said calmly: "Zhao Ziyang is a guest, of course it is different, because he is a guest, so he came. Treat him with good things and spend time with him. This is just a basic courtesy to guests. He lives here, and I will treat him differently. But do you think I have been polite to Er Zhuang? !do you understand?"

The fool shook his head suspiciously.

"Then use your brain and think about it for yourself! If you can't even figure this out, you don't have to come and look for me in the future!" Da Zhuang stood up abruptly, turned and walked out.

Zhao Ziyang, who had been standing at the door, heard the sound of chairs in the room, walked quickly to the yard, and looked at the vegetable garden in the yard as if nothing had happened.

Standing under the eaves, Da Zhuang took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, and walked towards Zhao Ziyang with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I know you're worried about that idiot, so don't pretend, your smile is really ugly!" Zhao Ziyang said angrily, his heart was still rolling with what Da Zhuang said just now, did the guest pay the difference between his family...

"Hehe..." Da Zhuang smiled wryly a few times, but did not continue speaking.

The two stood quietly in the yard for a while until the sun rose to the center.

"Is it better?" Zhao Ziyang asked lightly.

"Ah, well, I'm sorry, are you hungry? I'll cook right away..." Da Zhuang came back to his senses, and walked towards the kitchen while talking.

Zhao Ziyang looked at the back of Da Zhuang leaving in a hurry, his face flickered with uncertainty.

Er Zhuang walked out of the main room holding the crying Si Zhuang, just in time to see Zhao Ziyang with a gloomy face, and felt a little puzzled in his heart.

The fool's high fever came and went quickly, but it took half a day for the fever to subside completely, leaving only a small cough.

Da Zhuang didn't dare to be sloppy, and he didn't dare to let the fool go back to the home that no one took care of. In this place that only relies on herbs, even a little carelessness can kill a child. Da Zhuang doesn't believe it. The mother and two aunts who returned home from the fool would spend time making traditional Chinese medicine for the fool, so they stayed for three or four days and boiled the medicine for him every day until he fully recovered.

"Are you still coughing? Is your throat sore?" Da Zhuang asked with a straight face.

"Enen." The fool gulped down the dark Chinese medicine, closed his mouth and shook his head repeatedly.

"Your father came to pick you up last night, you can pack up your things and go back tonight!" Da Zhuang said with a blank expression while packing up the dishes.

The idiot took a cautious look at Da Zhuang, and opened his mouth to say something. Da Zhuang had already left the room quickly with the medicine bowl and water cup in his hand, and the idiot lowered his head in frustration.

The next day it was time to go to the uncle's house for a reunion dinner. Da Zhuang asked Er Zhuang and Da Niuer to bring a few little guys there to play, and he stayed at home with Zhao Ziyang and made lunch for Zhao Ziyang alone.

"Okay, you can order food today!" Da Zhuang said cheerfully to Zhao Ziyang.

"Order!" Zhao Ziyang raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't know what "order" meant, he could guess it after thinking about it. The most important thing was that Da Zhuang's sly face was more difficult than the previous few days. It's much more comfortable to smile!

"Enen!" Da Zhuang knew that there was no word "order food" here, so he deliberately refused to explain.

"You said it, I want pork liver noodles, stir-fried fatty intestines with sharp peppers, and pork belly!" Zhao Ziyang asked for a few things he liked unceremoniously.

"Wow, I need vegetables to eat pork liver noodles!" Da Zhuang jumped up and shouted.

Zhao Ziyang looked at Da Zhuang with squinted eyes, Lao Gao with the corner of his mouth curled up, and said word by word: "You, yourself, say it!"

Da Zhuang puffed up his cheeks and looked at Zhao Ziyang for a moment, resigned to his fate and went to prepare. Fortunately, there were pork liver and pork belly ready-made, and the large intestine was washed and prepared a long time ago.

When it started to freeze outside, Da Zhuang went to the town to buy a lot of meat and several sets of internal organs, and after processing, put them outside to freeze. When using them, you only need to take them to the table to thaw, which is very convenient. .

Da Zhuang picked up a small piece from the place that was not very frozen, half of the pot of water melted before it boiled...

"Eat, eat! You won't be afraid of getting fat after eating so many offal and pork..." Da Zhuang muttered as he brought the vegetables and noodles to the low table in the kitchen.

"Hehe, Da Zhuang, what are you muttering about!" Zhao Ziyang watched Da Zhuang fix it quickly with a funny face, but he said something reluctant.

"It's nothing, you can eat quickly, it won't be good when it's cold later, there's not enough noodles, there's still some in the pot, I'm going to eat, I'll be back soon!" , while explaining.

"Well, I understand, don't worry, let's go!" Zhao Ziyang sat on the small chair, waved his hand casually and said.

Da Zhuang poured hot water, washed his face, and walked out quickly. If he waited until the uncle's house came to call him a second time, his aunt's face would be ugly again!

The dishes at the uncle’s house this year are almost the same as last year, but the food for the little ones is still the same. Da Zhuang thinks that he usually cooks meat for the children, so why is he still so greedy when he arrives at the uncle’s house? like...
