A Simple Divination, Confession And Punishment

　　"Slept for half a day again?" Xiao Jiangming frowned, looking very worried.

　　He was really worried about his father, and he went to the underworld while sleeping.

　　From time to time, I would wake my father up to wake him up.

　　He handed the sugar water to his wife, "Please pour out the sugar water. I'll go in and take a look first."

　　"Sugar water?" The wife took the sugar water and was surprised, "Why did you suddenly buy sugar water for no reason?"

　　Xiao Jiang explained the reason again.

　　When the wife heard that sugar water could increase yang energy and the effect might be better than ginseng, she stood on tiptoe with the sugar water and touched Xiao Jiang's forehead, and then touched her own forehead.

　　"You really don't have a fever? Why are you daydreaming?"

　　"Sugar water can help the body recover? How can sugar water be so magical?"

　　After that, she asked about the price of the sugar water.

　　When she heard that it cost fifty dollars a cup, the wife opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Other people's sugar water is at most fifteen dollars a bowl, and you actually bought a bowl of sugar water for fifty dollars?"

　　"What kind of boss is so black-hearted nowadays? Even cheating people wouldn't be like this, right?"

　　After saying that, she sighed loudly, picked up the bowl of sugar water and turned to go into the kitchen, "Forget it, let the master try. However, I advise you not to hold too high hopes. Sugar water is sugar water. Even if you add a charm, it can't change the essence of sugar water."

　　Wait until the sugar water is served.

　　Xiao Jiang took the bowl and spoon and went into the room.

　　The window in the room was carefully opened a crack, and in order to take care of the elderly's rest, the curtains were half drawn, leaving only the other half of the window visible.

　　The room was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

　　The old man was lying on the bed, sleeping on his side with his face sunken in the air. When he heard the noise, he trembled and opened his eyes.

　　"Ah...Ajiang."

　　"I'm here." Xiao Jiang quickly helped his father get up from bed and said with a smile, "I brought your favorite sweet soup today. It's very warming and nourishing. Try it quickly."

　　"I... am not hungry." Dad opened his eyes with difficulty.

　　"Eat something even if you're not hungry." Xiao Jiang felt very uncomfortable seeing his father, who was once full of vigor and vitality, become like this. After his father slowly finished drinking the sugar water, he arranged for his father to lie back on the bed to rest.

　　Wait until you get out the door.

　　The wife was preparing to cook in the kitchen. When she saw Xiao Jiang coming in, she also sighed and comforted him, "Brother Jiang, do your best and leave the rest to fate. The master will not blame us."

　　Master is the way Hong Kong daughters-in-law address their father-in-law.

　　"Yeah." Xiao Jiang's eyes were full of pain, and he could only nod in the end.

　　It's time for lunch.

　　Xiao Jiang was about to bring the porridge to feed his father. As soon as he turned around, he saw his father walking out with the help of the door. Although his movements were still shaky, he looked much more energetic.
