Chapter 79: Chatting with Cow Bang Bang
After dinner, Lu Chengjing looked at Yuanyuan, who had his little head hanging down, and waved the little guy over.
Yuanyuan obediently climbed onto her father's lap and sat down, her big eyes blinking curiously, "Dad?"
Lu Chengjing turned the wheelchair and took the little guy to the wooden shed to talk.
From this distance, Shang Wan could clearly hear the conversation between father and daughter.
Lu Chengjing was telling stories to help Yuanyuan understand what Shang Wan said at the dinner table.
A slight smile appeared in Shang Wan's eyes, and he eavesdropped on the story while whittling wood.
Shitou used the method he learned from the Zhang family to prepare some fodder for the cattle, dug a hole in the bushes further away, and used it to bury the cow dung.
Xiaohuan boiled the medicine and brought it out. While Lu Chengjing was drinking the medicine, he went to the kitchen and brought out an old wooden bucket.
The barrel was dark as if it contained vinegar, but if you got closer you could smell the smell of herbs.
Lu Chengjing looked at the barrel expressionlessly, don't tell him to finish the barrel.
Apparently he was overthinking it. The concoction in the barrel was for soaking feet.
Xiaohuan placed the wooden bucket in front of the wheelchair, brought a wooden basin filled with hot water, added a small amount of the concoction into it, and stirred it together.
"Brother-in-law, this is the medicine specially prescribed by Doctor Yuan. It is said to be able to unblock the meridians. Take it for half an hour every night." Xiaohuan knelt down to help Lu Chengjing remove his shoes and socks. Lu Chengjing waved his hand, "No, I will do it myself."
"Then I'll take Yuanyuan to take a bath first." Xiao Huan stood up and reached out to hug Yuanyuan, "Doctor Yuan told me not to let the water get cold. If the water gets cold, please call me, brother-in-law. There is still hot water sitting in the pot. Woolen cloth."
Lu Chengding nodded, "Thank you."
"We are all one family, brother-in-law, don't be polite."
When Xiaohuan first started calling Lu Chengjing "brother-in-law", he was not used to it. Just like Shitou, he always called him wrong, but later he got used to it.
They could feel that Lu Chengjing really regarded them as younger brothers and sisters now, and would teach them things attentively that he would not explain to them in detail before.
The feelings between people are mutual.
It was Lu Chengjing who saved the lives of Xiaohuan and Shitou. Before, they regarded Lu Chengjing as their benefactor and were willing to repay their kindness even if they were kicked out of the house. But now they regard Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing as their true relatives.
My feet were soaked in the concoction, which was warm and a little tingling.
Lu Chengjing leaned on his wheelchair and looked from the stove with the fire to the curtain, to the gray wolf squinting and taking a nap on the stone slab, the old ox chewing grass by the big tree, the stone shoveling cow dung, and the people sitting on it. On Shang Wan who was whittling wood by the fire.
The firelight flickered, and the woman's fair cheeks were warmed slightly, glowing with a healthy pink color. There were beads of sweat on her forehead. Whenever it was about to slip off, the woman would lift her sleeves to wipe it off in advance.
Holding an ax in one hand and wood in the other, the woman used the cumbersome tool as dexterously as a dagger.
Lu Chengjing watched, gradually becoming fascinated, until the woman suddenly raised her head and asked him, "Is the water cold?"
Lu Chengjing was stunned for a moment and moved his feet in the tub, trying to create some warmth.
"Wait." Shang Wan put down what he was doing and went to the stove to scoop out hot water and bring it over. First, pour the cold concoction in the basin on the bushes, then add the concoction again and let Lu Chengjing soak it in.
"It should be changed again." Shang Wan estimated the time and said, "When it gets cold, just scream. Don't be embarrassed."
"Okay." Lu Chengjing agreed, with a slight smile on his eyes and brows.
Shang Wan was a little surprised by his appearance. He stared at it for a while, then curved the corners of his lips and asked, "Do you want to go to the fire?"
The fox she raised, she wanted to shave.
As soon as Lu Chengjing nodded, Shang Wan picked him up and lifted him up. When he bent down, his lips touched his face gently, and the soft touch was instant.
Lu Chengjing suddenly thought it was an illusion and looked into Shang Wan's smiling eyes. The roots of his ears were slightly red, but the smile at the corners of his lips slowly deepened, like the first bloom of the night sky.
Shang Wan: Is this fox trying to seduce her? She lowered her head and glanced at Lu Chengjing's white calves, sighing to herself that it was not the right time. No matter what, you have to wait for the fox to recover from its injuries and then eat some meat, otherwise the experience will not be good.
After Shitou finished his work, he wanted to sit by the fire. When he looked up and saw the two people who looked particularly right next to the fire, he felt a little dazzled when he sat there.
"Ah Huang, I'd better chat with you."
He patted the ox's back three times. When the ox lay down, he sat next to it, leaned back on the ox's back, and muttered.
"Ah Huang, do you know the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl? They also have a cow, and they help the Cowherd find a wife. It's just that the Cowherd was unscrupulous and deceived other fairies. The fairy's mother found out and drew a line across the Milky Way with a hairpin. ”
"One day in the sky is one year on earth. The fairy can see the Cowherd every day, but the Cowherd has to wait for a year before he can see the fairy. Do you think this is retribution for him?"
The scalper mooed, and Shitou was amused, "Do you think it's retribution? I'll tell you another story. Do you know the Bull Demon King? He..."
Beside the fire, Shang Wan kept his hands on his hands, raised his chin in the direction of the stone and the ox, and asked Lu Chengjing, "Has he caught the ox and chatted like this before?"
Lu Chengjing looked up and recalled for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Probably not, there are no cows in the Lu family."
Shang Wan: "So?"
Lu Chengjing said helplessly: "He talks to horses."
Shang Wan: "..."
"Forget it, just be happy." Shang Wan decided to respect other people's preferences. He looked at the water in the basin and changed it again.
After a while, the pile of wood at Shang Wan's hand was also finished. She washed her hands and sat back, looking at Lu Chengjing, "Are you going to say it now or later when you go to bed?"
Lu Chengjing was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, the round child who was washing Xiangxiang was hugged by Xiao Huan.
Her round little face was puffy from the hot water, and she was not at all honest in Xiao Huan's arms. She twisted around and refused to let Xiao Huan wipe her hair.
"I'll do it." Shang Wan took the handkerchief and covered Yuanyuan's little head. Yuanyuan immediately became obedient, raised her little face and giggled at her mother.
Shang Wan squeezed her helplessly and put the little one in Lu Chengjing's arms so that Xiaohuan could wash up.
When Xiaohuan came back from washing up, Yuanyuan had already fallen asleep holding the milk bottle.
Xiaohuan hugged Yuanyuan over and said, "Sister, I'm taking Yuanyuan to bed."
Shang Wan nodded and turned to look at the man and the cow who were leaning against each other, "Stop chatting and go take a shower."
"Here we come." Shitou patted Huang Niu on the back, "Huang, I'll tell you tomorrow how Niu Demon King married the concubine in the thirteenth room."
Shang Wan:? ? ?
Lu Chengjing: "..."
Shang Wan turned to look at Lu Chengjing, "Did you hear that, he..."
Before Shang Wan could finish, Lu Cheng nodded and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will assign homework to Shitou."
He shouldn't have allowed Shitou to read too many market albums before.
Shang Wan waved his hand, "No, I just want to ask, does the Bull Demon King really have thirteen rooms of concubines?"
Lu Chengjing: "..."
This issue is really beyond his scope.
Seeing the changing expressions of the people around him, Shang Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud and poked Lu Chengjing's cheek, "Forget it, let me change the question. You should talk about that incident."
