At dawn, Shen Xi's tears were also dried up, and her voice became hoarse from crying.
Not even a trace of strength could be squeezed out of his whole body, and he collapsed on the soft bed, lifting his eyes weakly to look at Zhou Du who was still in good spirits as he was hugging him.
I sighed again in my heart.
He is really not human!
The whole night—the night never stopped!
After another lingering rhyme was over, Shen Xi was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak. With a hoarse voice, he moved his lips and murmured to Zhou Du: "Tired, sleepy."
Zhou Du leaned over and kissed Shen Xi The corners of his eyes that were reddened by crying and the lips that were bitten at some point finally decided to let him go, moved his throat, and coaxed him softly, "Sleep." After
receiving the order to sleep, Shen Xi gently closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep without taking a breath.
After Zhou Du waited for him to fall asleep, he casually found a piece of clothing in the closet and put it on, gently picked up the sleeping person on the bed, replaced the bedding that they had messed up, and put on a new one.
After all this tossing, Shen Xi didn't wake up, it seemed that she was really tired.
Zhou Du covered him with the quilt, tucked in the corners of the quilt, looked at the man who was still asleep with flushed face, couldn't help but knowingly - smiled, kissed his forehead again, got up and tidied up the new house again.
The food and drinks put aside last night, the red candles that burned out, and the red dates, longan and peanuts scattered all over the house.
After the room was clean and tidy, Zhou Du opened the door and went out.
As soon as the New Year arrives in the south, spring begins. He—opens the door, and the sun that happens to be in spring falls on him, illuminating the room behind him.
Zhou Du narrowed his eyes slightly, after getting used to the sunlight, he was going to boil water in the kitchen.
Squatting outside the door—Ye's bean bag, seeing him coming out, straightened up immediately, and walked to his side.
As it walked, the acacia bell on its neck jingled. Zhou Du turned around and looked at Shen Xi who was still sleeping soundly. He knelt down and untied the acacia bell on its neck.
Zhou Du still had things to do, so he didn't have time to talk to it. After untying the red silk tied around its neck, he patted its fur and said, "Go and play by yourself."
Dou Bao shook his tail, standing there motionless , licked his lips, indicating that he was hungry.
He got married yesterday, and Zhou Du was too busy to pay attention to it, and he didn't know if anyone would feed it. Seeing that it would beg for food, after thinking about it, he took him to the Shen's kitchen next door, trying to find some food to feed it.
- Stepping in, there is a tall figure crowded in the small kitchen, none other than Qin Yi.
He was cutting vegetables on the chopping board with a kitchen knife, and he was not surprised when he saw Zhou Du go in, so he directed naturally: "
Go and add fire to my stove." After making sure that the fire in the stove would not go out soon, he withdrew and found some bones in the leftover cabinet to feed the bean buns.
After Qin Yi cut the cutting board, he put it into a small dish, came back to the stove, lifted the lid, saw that the contents were almost ready, and said to Zhou Du: "I made some porridge, you can cook it later After eating, serve the kid with a bowl."
"Okay," Zhou Du responded, seeing that Qin Yi's food was almost ready, he said, "I'll call my uncle."
Qin Yi refused unhurriedly. : "No, he can't get up."
With just this one sentence, Zhou Du understood, and his body, which was about to go out of the kitchen, suddenly stopped, and he was stunned. After a while, he went to the water tank, scooped up a bucket of water, and said to Qin Yi for some reason: "I Boil some bath water, would you like it?"
Qin Yi said without hesitation: "Yes."
Zhou Du nodded, filled the half-filled bucket, and walked towards the other empty cauldron in the kitchen. Pour it into the pot, set up the firewood, and burn it slowly.
In the small kitchen, there were two equally tall people, doing their own thing, but it seemed a bit harmonious.
Soon, Qin Yi prepared the meal, and the water in Zhoudu's pot began to boil. The two of them sat alone at the dining table, eating in silence.
Perhaps because he realized that it would be impossible to keep silent like this, Qin Yi ate a few meals with chopsticks and found something to chat with Zhou Du: "My subordinates said you are good at archery?"
Zhou Du paused while eating. After a pause, he replied ambiguously: "It's okay."
Qin Yi was not surprised, and said casually: "Find an opportunity to show it."
Zhou Du thought he was interested, and agreed without refusing: "Yes."
Qin Yi said After a few words, the rice in the bowl was finished, without explaining anything, he picked up the porridge that was left to cool down, tested the temperature, left the dining table without saying anything, and went straight to Shen Mu's room.
After a while, Zhou Du also had his stomach full. Like Qin Yi, he picked up the cold porridge on the table and walked towards his home.
At this moment, the door of the guest room opened, and a sleepy Meng Sui came out of the room. He saw Zhou Du carrying the food, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
After making sure that he saw the right person, he looked up at the sky: "Wake up so early?"
Meng Sui remembered that he didn't get up until after noon on the wedding night, if it wasn't for the fact that there were no elders in the family, and there were still many things waiting for him to take care of, he probably would have lingered until the evening before getting up.
But now it is still far away from noon, Zhou Du last night was the wedding night, he got up so early...
Meng Sui casually glanced at Zhou Du's body, his face changed slightly, and it was a bit inconvenient to say it out loud, It goes without saying that it flows on the face.
The corners of Zhou Du's lips twitched slightly, and he opened his mouth: "I'm not like you, I have to rest when I work late."
Meng Sui: "..." That's
too much, brother.
Who can do that kind of thing—at night, I'm too tired to do it several times, okay? Meng Sui thought that Zhou Du was exaggerating the facts, Zhou Du did
n't bother to explain to him, and pointed to the dining table beside him: "Breakfast is ready, you can help yourself."
Looking at Zhou Du's fingertips at the meals on the stone table in the yard, he didn't show any pretense, and nodded in response: "Okay, you can do your own work, and we can save it for ourselves."
Zhou Du didn't say anything, just said After dinner, he went to his new house again, thought of something, turned back, and said to Meng Sui, "Don't rush away, my husband seems to want to ask you for something, when he wakes up, he will find out. Let me explain to you."
"Ah, what can he ask of me?" Meng Sui was stunned, not knowing what Shenxi wanted from him, but then he thought, they didn't seem to have anything important to do, and With Qin Yi's relationship, Uncle Song of his family also hoped that they could have more contact with Zhoudu Shenxi, so he agreed and said: "OK, your Taoyuan Village has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the folk customs are simple, and Dr. Shen is also here. It's not bad to raise a baby, and my wife and I can stay here for one more day, don't worry."
After Zhou Du persuaded Meng Sui, he didn't delay any longer. He returned to the room with the food, gently shook the person who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and said softly, "Hey, get up and eat something before going to sleep.
" The last bit of strength he had was drained, and if he didn't replenish his strength now, he didn't know how long he would sleep.
Shen Xi fell into a drowsy sleep, and heard a voice calling him in a haze, barely opened his eyelids, which were as heavy as gold, and looked at Zhou Du in front of him in a daze.
Zhou Du tried the temperature of the porridge with a spoon, and it was just right, and he brought it to his lips, and said, "Eat something."
After Shen Xi felt the fragrance of the porridge on his lips, he realized that Zhou Du was telling him to eat , shook his head with difficulty.
Zhou Du knew that he was so tired now that he didn't even know what to eat, he didn't even know what night and what night, but he still persuaded him, "You need to eat something to recover quickly."
Shen Xi collapsed on the bed, almost speechless with a hoarse The voice that spoke was muffled: "Up."
His voice was very small, so small that he only moved his lips slightly, if Zhou Du hadn't been staring at him, he would not have noticed that he had spoken at all. .
Zhou Du heard him say that he was up, put down the porridge bowl, approached him and asked in a low voice: "Where is the up?"
Shen Xi squirmed his lips: "Stomach."
Zhou Du gently lifted the corner of the quilt, and saw the quilt The lower abdomen, which was originally flat, is now slightly swollen, smooth and bulging as if full of food.
Zhou Du admired his masterpiece at night, hooked the corners of his lips in satisfaction, scratched his slightly protruding belly with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "Do you still dare to say that I can't do it in the future?
" Still dazed, dazed—for a while, he turned the corner, this was what Zhou Du said he couldn't do before taking revenge on him.
After thinking about it, he used to think that Zhou Du was not good at this, and he couldn't do many stupid things, but now he has suffered a lot.
Pursing his lips that were still slightly sore, he said in a low voice: "Grudges of grudges."
Zhou Du smiled, not intending to quarrel with him at this time, picked up the bowl of porridge that was about to get cold again, and persuaded him in a warm voice : "Eat - something first, restore some strength, I will help you get out the
stuff in your stomach later, okay?" The porridge that Du fed.
After eating half a bowl, there was something to fill his exhausted stomach, and he acted immediately, Shenxi gradually gained some strength, and his thoughts gradually gathered together. Looking at Zhou Du's hand holding the porridge bowl, he said in a little surprise: " Did you cook the rice?"
As soon as he tasted the porridge, he knew it was just boiled this morning, and he knew that Zhou Du couldn't cook, so who made the rice?
Zhou Du explained to him: "Qin Yi did it."
"Oh," Shen Xi suddenly remembered this person, "I almost forgot about him, I was thinking just now, I don't get up to cook, you and Xiao What about the two uncles?"
Zhou Du wiped the rice grains from the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, seeing him still thinking about him and Shen Mu at this time, he felt funny and annoyed: "You just need to recover well, we won't starve to death."
"Well," Shen Xi nodded, seemingly relieved: "With my little uncle here, I don't have to worry about no one taking care of my little uncle."
Zhou Du was very helpless, found a piece of clothes to put on him, and carried him to the water room , placed it in the bathtub: "Before caring about others, first care about yourself."
Zhou Du brought water, slowly adjusted the water temperature, and asked him patiently: "Is this temperature okay?"
Shen Xi reached out and touched the water temperature :"OK."
Zhou Du filled the bathtub with water, looked at Shen Xi's cheeks that were getting brighter and brighter under the lingering water vapor, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and a wave of dryness and heat surged up again.
After last night, the tacit understanding between the two has deepened a bit, and now Zhou Du gave a look, and Shen Xi understood it, and lowered his head dodgingly.
He is really dying now.
Zhou Du poked his very cute cheeks that were reddened by the moisture, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
"Oh," hearing this, Shen Xi relaxed a little, But he was also quite unconvinced, so he raised his head again, with stubborn eyes and said, "It's not your fault that I am like this!"
Zhou Du smiled slightly on his lips: "Indeed, but you can't deny that it's also your physical strength." It 's caused by the lack of support."
Shen Xi defended himself and said: "This is the first time for me, I'm a little weaker, I'll keep up with you when I practice."
Zhou Du's fingertips traced along His spine went all the way down, and when he heard his words, he smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it the first time I've been stumped?"
Shen Xi pursed his lower lip: "You are so much older than me, who knew you... "
Shen Xi just finished speaking halfway, his whole body trembled, and the unfinished words on his lips turned into gasps.
Shen Xi was lying on the edge of the tub, the red marks at the end of her eyes hadn't dissipated, she raised the end of her eyes, and hissed tenderly.
Zhou Du's fingertips softened a little. Looking at his more and more beautiful face, he curled his lips slightly: "Only you, and, darling, while you are practicing, I am also improving, you understand.
" The water in the tub was very hot, but at this moment, Shen Xi felt icy cold, and Zhou Du told him clearly that he would never try to defeat him in this respect.
Shen Xi: "..."
Zhou Du cleaned out the contents of Shen Xi's stomach, changed the tub of water, washed Shen Xi again, pulled off his clothes and wrapped him up, carried him back to the room, and gently stuffed him into the quilt: "Now you can sleep as you like."
Shen Xi yawned sleepily, leaned his head on Zhou Du's palm, closed his eyes and fell asleep obediently.
Meng Sui originally thought that Shen Xi would be able to rest well the next day, but he didn't expect him to rest until the fourth day before coming out of the room.
During these three days, Zhou Du took care of eating, drinking, and even washing up.
He thought that Zhou Du's previous sentence of "Ye Ye" was an exaggeration, but now he had to believe it, who can lie in the room for three days and three nights without anything to do!
He looked at Zhou Du as if he was looking at a monster. After doing it for one night, he could still come out of the room to eat refreshed the next day. How good is his physical strength? Zhou Du looked at Meng Sui's shocked and terrified eyes, and said kindly, " Should
you stay at home, climb more mountains, and exercise regularly, you can do it too."
Agree with Zhou Du's words.
It's okay for him to stay at home!
- Two cubs at a time, who can do better than him!
Zhou Du shook his head at Meng Wei who was screaming, and found a soft cushion to put on Shen Xi's chair.
After lying in the room for three days, Shen Xi, who was still a little vain under his feet, blushed when facing Zhou Du's careful care, and lightly parted his injured lips: "No need."
"It's okay," Zhou Du said. Du knew what Shen Xi was worried about, glanced at Meng Sui, and whispered in his ear, "It's too late for him to be envious.
" Feeling embarrassed, he sat on the cushion and looked at Meng Sui across the table.
After Meng Sui sat down, he saw the bruises on Shen Xi's skinned lips and neck that hadn't dissipated at a glance. Although he didn't agree with Zhou Du's words, he still envied Zhou Du's physical strength.
Do you want to find a chance to practice?
Meng Sui was contemplating, when Shen Xi, who was sitting opposite him, asked, "Master Meng, do you have any money?"
Shen Xi's question like this stopped Meng Sui from asking, does he have money himself?
Of course there are.
But the money on his body was given by his father. Strictly speaking, it is not his own money, but it is not always true that he has no money. After all, the money his father gave him is also his money. So he vaguely
replied to Shen Xi: "Yes."
Shen Xi asked him again: "How much?"
From the perspective of the county, this amount of money is nothing.
After all, his father is just a small county magistrate, besides his son, there is also a big family to support, it is impossible to give him all the family property, so the money he can get a year is also very limited.
He replied to Shen Xi sincerely: "Not much."
Shen Xi stretched out his hand and gestured on the table: "Look, you don't have a job in your hands now, and you don't have much money in your hands. You still have two cubs, when you two cubs come out, you will start raising cubs, what will you do if you run out of money at that time?"
Meng Sui blurted out: "I want to ask my father Let's go."
After finishing speaking, Meng Sui felt that something was wrong, he is now married and has a family, and asking his father for money after getting married is not a long-term solution after all.
Besides, Shen Xi is only so old, so he earns money by himself. When he said this, it seemed that he was short in front of Shen Xi for no reason.
After thinking about it, Meng Jue came to his senses, he is not a stupid person, knowing that Shen Xi definitely did not come to him to ridicule him, so he drank the tea on the table and asked: "What do you want me for? "
Chen Xi knew that Meng Sui could understand what he meant, so he bent his eyes and smiled brightly: "It's a good thing, I have a business and want to cooperate with you."
Meng Sui didn't agree blindly, and asked with a sinking heart: "What? Make a living."
Shen Xi said what he had thought up earlier: "Let's partner up to open a food shop in the county."
Meng Sui thought of Shen Xi's showing in Zhang's mansion that he could suppress that old glutton Mr. Zhang He also became a little interested in his cooking skills: "It's fine, are you going to be a cook in the county?"
Shen Xi's eyes darkened, and he shook his head: "I won't go."
Meng Wei frowned: "You won't go , is it possible to find a cook to make food?" In the
county town, the restaurants and food shops that are booming in business have their own characteristics. Of course, finding a cook can open the shop, but there are too many ways inside.
First, it is not easy to find a good cook.
Second, it's another matter if you find cooking skills.
Third, it will not last long without its own characteristics.
Shen Xi also knew his scruples, and slowly poured out his plan: "I'm not looking for a cook, our shop is not the kind of shop that needs a cook to open, we only need the shop assistants to master some simple cooking steps. It's gone."
Meng Sui was confused: "Are you trying to pass on your unique skills to others?"
"Of course not," Shen Xi waved his hand, "What they know is just some basic cooking techniques, and the recipe of the seasoning is still in my hands."
Meng Sui understood now: "You mean, you are only responsible for cooking Seasonings, I'll come for the rest." It's
not that there are no such shops in the county, but most of the businesses are mediocre, a small stall, and can't make much money.
Shen Xi nodded: "Yes."
This was the only way he observed in the county last time that was suitable for him to make money. He also thought about making a living in Anyang Town before, but Anyang Town is too small, so small that all the businesses that can be done in the town have been done by others, even if he can earn some money with his cooking skills, he is tired and earns little Did not say.
Moreover, his hands could not support the daily hard work.
Shen Xi rubbed his right wrist subconsciously. If the tendons in his hand were not broken, he could take Uncle Zhoudu to the county town or Shudu to open a world-famous restaurant!
But...
Shen Xi closed his eyes, feeling very frustrated in his heart. His dream was shattered a long time ago. No matter how much he practiced, the sensitivity of his left hand was not as accurate as that of his right hand. Now he can only do some small things. of making a living.
In fact, Meng Sui looked down on these three melons and two dates of money. This kind of shop can earn at most ten taels of silver a month, and the rent and the wages of the clerks have to be thrown away, which is not much after conversion.
But he saw that Shenxi's expression was serious, and he didn't look like he was making a fuss. After thinking about it, he didn't kill him with a single stick: "Well, you can make a few things with me first, and I have to taste the taste." Only then can you make a decision."
Shen Xi knew this, stood up without refusing, and was about to walk towards the kitchen: "I'll do it right away."
"Don't worry," Zhou Du stopped him, "You just recovered your strength , just wait two days."
While talking, Zhou Du looked at Meng Jui and said, "Really."
Meng Jui immediately understood: "Yes, yes, don't worry, it's a big Chinese New Year, and it won't be too late to talk about it after the New Year is over."
Shen Xi bit her lip, He didn't force it, but when he saw Zhou Du, he suddenly remembered this matter. He seemed to have only mentioned it to Zhou Du, but he hadn't had time to tell him.
These days, he ate and slept on the bed, his head was like a paste - a mess, he didn't remember what to say to Zhou Du for a long time.
Today he remembered it, and he was afraid that Meng Sui would leave, so he rushed to talk to him, but he didn't have time to tell Zhou Du in advance.
Shen Xi faced Zhou Du very ashamedly, and said slowly: "This matter was not discussed with you in advance, so don't be angry."
"Don't be so cautious," Zhou Du flicked his forehead with his fingertips, "I I've said it earlier, you can do whatever you want."
The smile on Shen Xi's face suddenly became so happy that he shook Zhou Du's hand and boasted like a child: "My husband is The best husband in the world."
Meng Sui saw his toothache from the sidelines, and asked the pregnant daughter-in-law next to him, "How am I?"
Mrs. Meng smiled: "You are fine, and you are also in my heart. The best husband in the world."
Meng Sui was satisfied, and the toothache stopped.
They were talking in the yard, and Shen Mu, who had just recovered some strength today, also opened the window of the pharmacy, looked at the yard, laughed at them, and smiled.
Qin Yi was sitting next to Shen Mu, and he listened to every word spoken outside, and seeing the smile on Shen Mu's face, he was also happy to coax him: "You are also the best husband in the world with me. ."
Knowing that Qin Yi was coaxing him, Shen Mu was also happy in her heart, and said to Li Yu with a smile: "Little Yu'er, go and make the tea pot I put on the cabinet, and after it's done, go and put the tea in the creek. Call to come in."
Li Yu put down the medical book and followed Shen Mu's instructions.
As soon as Shen Xi stepped into the pharmacy, she walked up to Shen Mu who was sitting by the window reading a book, and asked softly: "What does little uncle want from me?"
Shen Mu swept away the bruises on Shen Xi's body without any trace , carefully covered the traces on his body, stretched out his hand and pushed the freshly brewed tea cup in front of him: "Please drink tea."
"Oh," although Shen Xi didn't know exactly what kind of tea the good-natured little uncle invited him to drink. , but he obediently pushed Shen Mu over to give him the tea, and drank it slowly.
The taste is weird, not like tea, but a bit like medicine.
After Shen Xi finished drinking, he probed into the teacup, and sure enough, the tea leaves in it were brewed with medicinal herbs.
After he finished drinking, he stared blankly at the tea leaves under the teacup and asked, "Little uncle, what kind of tea is this?"
Shen Mu brushed the pages of the book with his fingertips, lowered his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Homemade mint red flowers Tea."
Shen Xi nodded, and asked casually: "What's the use?"
Shen Mu stopped talking, Shen Xi stood for a while without waiting for an answer, and was about to leave the pharmacy when Li Yu, who was reading a book, raised his hand. Getting started, he took the initiative to say: "I know, the function of this tea is to promote blood circulation and unblock collaterals, reduce swelling and relieve pain!"
Shen Mu and Shen Xi pulled their lower lips in unison: "..."
The author has something to say: Love each other and love family members :
Love Ping An Shen Mu: Xiao Yuer, don't be shy and smart!
Ai Zhou crossing Shenxi: seconded!
Ai Shenxi Zhoudu: Seconded!
Li Yu who loves being single: I know!
Admiring Qin Yi: Finally joined the group! (tears run)
Love to eat bean buns: oh ow ow!
