It took Xu Kongshan about a week to find Hu Liwei, so as not to disturb his recovery.

Hu Liwei's body smelled like bruises, and there were some bruises on his arms outside his sleeves. He couldn't see what was going on on his back, but he gasped from the cold breath when Yu Pingan applied the medicine to him for the first time. I knew it was definitely not going to get any better.

"Brother Xu, how are you thinking?" Xu Kongshan's arrival itself was an answer, so although it was an interrogative sentence, Hu Liwei used a declarative tone.

"I am willing to do business with you, Brother Hu." Xu Kongshan gave Hu Liwei an affirmative answer, and at the same time expressed his troubles.

After hearing this, Hu Liwei patted his chest to reassure Xu Kongshan. This matter is on him. If he can't solve this problem, why would he run around.

"Thank you, Brother Hu." Hu Liwei's confident appearance gave Xu Kongshan some confidence, "Then I will come here to see you again in the next medicine collection?"

"Don't worry, please leave me your address. I will go to the Tibetan area to collect caterpillar fungus at the end of the month. I don't think I will be able to come back in a while. I will write to you if there is any progress." Hu Liwei wanted to take Xu Kongshan to the Tibetan area, but he couldn't help it. The time was too short, and he didn't have time to prepare a letter of introduction for Xu Kongshan.

Xu Kongshan wrote down the address with the pen and paper that Hu Liwei was holding. His handwriting was clean and neat, with a sense of power between the lines, and Hu Liwei even praised two good words.

There was some pride in Xu Kongshan's eyes, it was Chen Wan who taught him well.

After writing the address, Xu Kongshan didn't stay long, and arrived home before twelve o'clock.Zhou Mei is making the stewed cowpea rice that Chen Yongyang wants to eat. Cook the rice until it is half-cooked and drain the excess rice soup with a shabu-kei. Pour oil into the pot and put the cleaned cowpeas, add salt and stir fry evenly, then pour in the rice and put it on the side of the pot. Drizzle a circle of rice soup, then cover the pot and cook thoroughly.

The stewed cowpea rice made in this way is delicious and delicious, not only Chen Yongyang likes it, but even Chen Wan can eat half a bowl more.

Chen Yongyang smelled the smell of braised cowpea rice and couldn't sit still. Chen Wan closed his math homework book: "That's right, let's go play."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yongyang jumped out like a rabbit, almost bumping into Xu Kongshan who came in.Fortunately, Xu Kongshan moved quickly to avoid it, and by the way, he helped Chen Yongyang who almost fell to the ground.

"Brother Shan." Seeing Xu Kongshan, Chen Wan stood up from the chair, "What did Boss Hu say?"

"Brother Hu said it will be on him, but it may take a month or two..." Xu Kongshan relayed the conversation between Hu Liwei and him to Chen Wan verbatim, and he grabbed the fan on the table and fanned it to Chen Wan The wind is blowing, and the mosquito repelling incense sticks are burning in the house, with a faint smell of wormwood.

It's okay to wait a month or two. If Hu Liwei gave a solution on the spot, Chen Wan would feel unreliable.

"Little uncle eats plums!" Satisfied, Chen Yongyang ate a mouthful of hot cowpea stewed rice in the kitchen, and then went to the yard to pick a few plums.

As soon as Chen Wan's eyes touched the green plums in Chen Yongyang's hands, the root of her tongue turned sore in reflex: "I don't want it, you can eat it yourself."

"Brother Dashan, do you want to eat it?" Chen Yongyang changed the person to sell it, Xu Kongshan took one, and the two of them put the plum in their mouths and bit it off. The crisp sound came to Chen Wan's ears, and his saliva came out immediately.

"Are you sour?" Chen Wan looked at the expressions of Xu Kongshan and Chen Yongyang, and swallowed involuntarily.

"Not sour." Chen Yongyang replied without hesitation, and stretched out his hand to hand the plum to Chen Wan, "Little uncle, why don't you try one, I won't lie to you."

Chen Yongyang's words were not credible to Chen Wan, so he turned to look at Xu Kongshan.

"It's not very sour, it's quite sweet." Xu Kongshan showed Chen Wan the half-bitten plum. There was an obvious gap between the pale yellow flesh and the core, which proved that the plum was ripe. "You eat this plum." .”

Xu Kongshan picked another one for Chen Wan, and Chen Wan bit it off suspiciously, the sweet juice flowed between his teeth, and the slightly sour taste added another flavor.

The last plum fell into Chen Wan's stomach, Chen Yongyang clapped his hands and prepared to pick it again, Zhou Mei arranged a task for him: "Yongyang went to ask your dad to come back for dinner."

"Okay." Chen Yongyang agreed, and quickly ran out.

The plum trees in the courtyard are less than one person tall, and there are not many plums in total. Chen Yongyang started picking them when they turned green, and now only a few sporadic ones are left hanging on the branches. All white flowers, the fragrance is intoxicating.Qian Guosheng once asked Chen Wan in a letter if he had sprayed perfume on his clothes, and why he could smell the scent of gardenias on the clothes he received.

Chen Yongyang quickly rushed into the yard with two pockets full of plums, wearing Chen Qianjin's straw hat on his head.The plums on the small hillside behind the old house are also ripe, and the heavy fruit bends the branches. Because it is a collective, no one will say anything when passing by.

"Let's eat right away, eat the plums when they are empty." Zhou Mei found something to pack the plums in Chen Yongyang's pocket, and told him to wash his hands.

There was a bitter and bitter dish on the dinner table for Chen Yongyang. He avoided it several times with his chopsticks, but he still couldn't dodge it. Zhou Mei directly put it into a bowl for him: "Bitter melon clears away heat, eating it is good for your health."

Chen Yongyang's face turned bitter melon, his eyes turned around the table, and stopped at Chen Wan: "My little uncle didn't eat bitter melon, and I didn't eat it either."

Hey you brat!Chen Wan was caught off guard by Chen Yongyang and dragged into the water, looked up at him: "I don't need to clear the heat."

"If you don't eat bitter melon, you are not allowed to pick plums tomorrow." Zhou Mei pinched Chen Yongyang to death, and with one sentence dispelled his idea of ​​trying to pinch the bitter melon out.

Tomorrow is the day when the group will pick plums together. Chen Yongyang has been looking forward to this day for a long time. Of course, he doesn't want to lose his qualification to join in the fun just because of a few bites of bitter melon.

In the morning, the plum grove behind the old house was full of people. The men nimbly climbed up the tree, picked the plums into boxes, and put them under the tree with ropes.

This year's plum harvest was bumper, and the Chen family shared a basket full of it, causing Chen Yongyang to hiccup.Chen Wan didn't pay attention to eating a few more. At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong. At night, acid water came out of his stomach, and he was so uncomfortable that he kept breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Liu'er?" Xu Kongshan was awakened by Chen Wan's movement, felt the wetness on his body, and was so scared that the sleepy bug flew clean in an instant.

"Brother Shan, turn on the light for me." Chen Wan was sleeping on the inside of the bed, with the cord of the electric light outside. Xu Kongshan immediately lowered the cord when he heard the words, and saw Chen Wan's pale face, with glistening sweat on his forehead.

Chen Wan gritted her teeth and got out of bed, clutching her belly, before she even had time to put on her slippers, and stumbled out of the main room.Xu Kongshan hurriedly followed behind him and slapped Chen Wan on the back who almost spat out his bile.

With an empty stomach, Chen Wan finally felt better. She rinsed her mouth with hot water, leaned against Xu Kongshan's arms and complained bitterly, "I will never eat plums again."

Peaches nourish people, apricots hurt people, and bury people under plum trees. Chen Wan heard this saying in the daytime, but he didn't take it to heart. He will learn a lesson from it.

"Did your feet hurt?" Xu Kongshan carried Chen Wan back to the bedroom, squatted down to check the soles of his feet, they were covered with dust, like white jade stained with blemishes.

Chen Wan shook his head, Xu Kongshan cleaned the house very clean, he didn't feel sick at all.

"I'm going to cook two eggs in sugar water." Xu Kongshan poured a basin of hot water for Chen Wan and asked him to wipe off his sweat. It was still long in the middle of the night, and Chen Wan might not be able to sleep well on an empty stomach.

Xu Kongshan's cooking skills are mediocre, but his skill in cooking sugar-watered eggs is very good. Chen's family usually finishes their meal around seven o'clock, and Chen Wan sometimes makes clothes or reads after ten o'clock, and Xu Kongshan will cook for him. A bowl of sugar water and egg snacks.

That is to say, Chen Wan's physique is weak and her absorption ability is average. If someone else was raised by Xu Kongshan, she would have gained at least ten catties.

After Chen Wan wiped off his sweat, he changed his clothes. He made a few sets of T-shirts and shorts for himself and Xu Kongshan to wear at night. Since he started working with Qian Guosheng, Chen Wan has slowly turned Xu Kongshan's wardrobe upside down. New, he would never allow the patched clothes to appear on Xu Kongshan again.

The T-shirt was made of light fabric, and it stuck to Chen Wan's body, outlining his beautifully shaped lute bone.Xu Kongshan had no other thoughts in his eyes, he caressed Chen Wan's back through his T-shirt distressedly, thinking about how to give Chen Wan some flesh.

The steaming sugar-water eggs were sweet and fragrant. Chen Wan smashed the eggs with a spoon, so that the egg yolks and brown sugar water blended into one.

Chen Wan brushed his teeth again after eating the sugar-watered eggs. Xu Kongshan put at least two spoons of brown sugar in it, which was so sweet that he had a premonition that if he didn't brush his teeth, he would definitely develop tooth decay.

With the sugar water eggs cooked by Xu Kongshan as a cushion, Chen Wan slept soundly in the middle of the night. When he left the house, Xu Kongshan was hanging wormwood on the door.

"Why do I smell a medicine?" There was a not-so-good smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air, and Chen Wan's heart skipped a beat. Xu Kongshan won't ask Uncle De to prescribe him some stomach-nourishing medicine again, right?Chen Wan sniffed, feeling that the smell of the medicine seemed to come from Xu Kongshan.

"Aunt Zhou made herbal medicine." After hanging up the wormwood, Xu Kongshan hung the washed clothes to dry under the eaves.Chen Wan felt relieved, it's not just for him to suffer.

Hanging wormwood, washing herbal potion, spreading realgar, and eating rice dumplings are the traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in Ping'an Village.

Chen Wan washed her face with herbal water, and after getting used to the smell, it felt quite fresh.There was a faint fragrance of zongzi coming out of the pot. The zongzi wrapped by Zhou Mei’s bamboo shoot shells weighed half a catty. They were boiled in the pot last night, turned off the fire in the middle of the night, and continued to cook when they got up in the morning. It takes six hours for the glutinous rice inside to be considered fully cooked.

Peel off the bamboo shoot shell, inside is white glutinous rice, so sticky, Chen Wan couldn't finish the whole thing, so Xu Kongshan gave him the tip of the dumpling, the glutinous rice in this position is softer.

Chen Wan dipped in sugar and ate most of the rice dumpling tip. The glutinous rice was not easy to digest. He felt that he was [-]% full so he put down his chopsticks to avoid food accumulation.The remaining zongzi was not wasted, and went into the stomach of Xu Kongshan, who has a good digestion ability.

At noon, Zhou Mei cooked a table of good dishes. It was a rare festival, and there should be a sense of ritual.She originally planned to invite Zhang Cheng and the others to come to her house for dinner, but later she thought that they might accompany their daughter-in-law back to her mother's house, so she didn't let Chen Jin go in to call them.

Chen Yongyang and the others had a day off for the Dragon Boat Festival, and classes continued the next day.Chen Yongyang packed two large handfuls of plums into his schoolbag and took them to school to share with his classmates. Chen Wan remembered what happened the night before, grabbed Chen Yongyang's schoolbag and told him to eat less, no more than ten.

"If you eat too many plums, you have to play tricks. Your uncle is right." Zhou Mei straightened the red scarf around Chen Yongyang's neck, "Xing Xing looks at my brother, don't let him eat on the road."

The author has something to say: Chen Wan: Eating too many plums is not good, really.
