Chapter 265 Warmth
At night, a pot of silver frost charcoal has been burning in the corner of the room by the window, which brings a bit of warmth to the room which is always a bit damp and cold at night.
Li Ersao leaned on the edge of the bed, listening to the sound of the wind blowing against the leaves in the yard outside the house. She estimated the time, took up the thread of the bellyband she made for Kogoro, and bit it with her teeth. When the thread was cut, Brother Li happened to enter the house carrying a bucket of hot water.
"It's really cold today. I'll pour hot water for you, and you wash first. After washing, I'll use the rest of the water to wash myself."
Li Ersao didn't shirk. , nodded and said "Hey."
Although there is a well at home now, which is convenient for drinking water, heating hot water requires waste wood.
The city of Chang'an is different from the countryside. If you want to burn firewood and the farm is idle, you can just go to the mountains to pick up some.
The colder it gets, the higher the price for firewood in Chang'an City.
When her cold feet were soaked in the boiling hot water, Mrs. Li shivered.
Second brother Li saw it and hurriedly picked up the clothes on the shelf and put them on Sister-in-law Li. He said, "It's still a loss. Let's spend the money separately later and buy some good things for Sister-in-law." I’ll make you some nourishing soup and take a good rest.”
Sister-in-law Li was naturally happy at Brother Li's thoughtfulness, but she still opened her mouth and said, "How could it be like this?" I was given ten chickens to eat, what the hell?
I just stayed in bed and didn’t move and got a little cold, so that’s okay.”
Li Er. Brother didn't refute, but he still took it to heart, thinking about making up for Mrs. Li later.
This girl is giving birth to offspring, and it is very harmful to her body.
Sister-in-law Li had to step out when the water was still a little hot, so that Brother Li could go in and soak his feet.
Brother Li pointed to the hot water left in the barrel: "You soak for a while longer, and I will add more water later."
"I thought, don't worry about it. No matter how good the day is tomorrow, don’t take Xiao Wu back to my grandma’s house. The conditions in the countryside are still not as good as those in the city. Today is not a good day. If Xiao Wu gets sick accidentally, Xiao Wu will still suffer. "
Brother Li took out a cloth and wiped his feet, picked up the wooden basin and put it by the door. Then he returned to the bed and nodded to Sister-in-law Li: "Yes, Xiaowu is still a little small. Let's wait until he is older." , The body is stronger and stronger, and I will take it to my mother-in-law and father-in-law to take a closer look."
It started to drizzle at dawn.
After having breakfast at home, Brother Li loaded the things prepared by Mother Li and Sister-in-law Li into the car at the door outside the hospital. After bowing to Father Li and Mother Li, he took Sister-in-law Li and Sanlang into the carriage with him.
As luck would have it today, the four little ones’ academy was also on holiday, so Li Sanlang was able to follow his parents on a trip to his maternal home.
Li Sanniang was still thinking that if the weather was good, she could really take Luzhu'er and follow Brother Li to visit Sister-in-law Li's natal home.
The conditions in the countryside are not as good as in the city, but they are still interesting in their own way.
But this day is really frustrating.
As the end of the year approaches, Lu Zhuer will turn three years old. According to the calculation at this time, Lu Zhuer will be four years old and can no longer be called Little Tong'er.
At this age, if you are in a wealthy family, in addition to starting to grow your hair, you should also be able to learn some things.
Of course, Li Sanniang did not want to squeeze the child's nature so early. Moreover, although the female mother-in-law was in charge at this time, except for the female officials used by Emperor Wu himself, no one in the court had ever used female officials. The mother's body is standing on it.
However, it is possible to do entertaining and educational things.
Li Sanniang asked for four small educational toys that she had played with as a child from Mother Li. Most of them were delicate wooden objects, some of which were just polished and some were painted.
This morning, Li Sanniang only played with Lu Zhuer in the room.
Not to mention, as an adult, Li Sanniang also finds these interesting educational toys very interesting.
Things like Nine Links and Kong Mingsuo are enough for people to play with for a long time.
Due to the season, it gets dark earlier and earlier, and Lu Zhuer has also started skipping her nap.
After lunch, Li Sanniang was still thinking about continuing to play with Lu Zhuer for a while, so she waited until the two of them, who were not unexpected, returned to Li's house
Dr. Liang and Li Sanniang's younger brother Shaoyang came back in a donkey cart carrying large bundles and small boxes. After Dr. Liang learned about the final destination of his junior uncle at the Li family, he accepted Li Sanniang as his disciple.
Because Li Sanniang was admitted as a doctor of the Medical Alliance and had already started working in the alliance's medical hall, Dr. Liang felt that he could live in the Zhou family next door that Li Sanniang bought. , it is convenient for Li Sanniang to learn the Golden Needle technique from him after his shift every day
Of course, it is also convenient for the young Shaoyang boy to pass the examination of the Alliance Physician next year and accumulate experience, and it is also to pave the way for Dr. Liang to become a doctor who was originally a closed disciple. Build a bridge.
So, the master and the apprentice returned to the house they originally rented. Doctor Liang first wrote six letters one by one, informing the six disciples in various places in the Tang Dynasty, and then collected them for them. It’s about a little junior sister.
Then, the two of them found a middleman to deal with the house whose lease had not yet expired, and also needed to pack some belongings.
Dr. Liang has a wide circle of friends. He originally planned to wait in Chang'an for Shaoyang to meet his old friends after the young boy from Shaoyang passed the exam.
Now it seems that it is impossible to do it in the past two years.
This always involves writing a letter, buying some gifts, and explaining the reasons to the friends who had originally agreed.
In this way, after dealing with these miscellaneous things, it took the master and apprentice a few days before everything was sorted and they returned to Li's house with various and numerous gifts.
Lu Zhu'er didn't recognize strangers at all. After seeing old doctor Liang and young boy Shaoyang, with Li Sanniang's signal from the side, she quickly stepped forward to say hello.
This time, the young Shaoyang boy nodded with confidence, and neatly took out a kit from his sleeve pocket.
"Luzhu'er is a good boy. This is a gift from your uncle, please accept it."
Luzhu'er showed her teeth like millet grains and smiled cutely and brightly.
“Thank you, little master uncle.”
After that, he bowed in a decent manner.
Luzhuer raised her hand and gave the kit she took from the young boy from Shaoyang to Li Sanniang. Li Sanniang smelled the smell of herbs as soon as she took it into her hand.
After sniffing it carefully, I identified it and found that it was a herbal medicine to prevent insects and ants.
“It’s a recipe left over from my family, suitable for children to wear.”
Although Li Sanniang didn’t understand this, she knew from the embroidery on this brocade bag that she was not an ordinary person. It looks like it can be used at home.
"Thank you, little brother. I will let Luzhu'er wear it well."
Giving a gift and making everyone happy is the best thing.
Although Li Sanlang went to the countryside with his parents, Li Dalang and the three of them can be regarded as more than half adults.
The three of them, plus Nineteen and the Shaoyang boy, had to move twice before they moved all the salutes of the master and apprentice to the yard next door for the two of them.
My dears, I didn’t have a fever last night!
It’s been four days, and the fever is finally gone!
When I woke up near noon, my nose was still blocked and my asthma was still in its attack phase, but I did feel better than the previous few days.
I just don’t have much appetite. I’m physically hungry and feel nauseous, but I still don’t want to eat anything.
No matter what, things are finally getting better.
Thank you for your concern. I hope everyone is safe and sound in the new year, and I wish you all a fortune!
