Tao Hongying was busy for a while, then turned around and saw her daughter asleep.
She habitually touched her daughter's forehead and frowned, as if she felt slightly warm.
Seeing that her daughter's little face was also a little pale, she became even more frightened.
"Mom, Fu Niu'er fell asleep as soon as she came back from the river. I think her face doesn't look right..."
Tao Hongying carried Jiayin to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li immediately took it and teased her a few words in a low voice. She even pinched her granddaughter's face but there was no response. She was also a little panicked.
"Second brother, go borrow the donkey cart. Fu Niuer seems to have a fever. Go to the county to see a doctor quickly!"
Mrs. Li directly pulled up a small quilt to wrap her granddaughter up, and shouted to Mr. Li who had just returned from outside. There was a sound.
As soon as they heard that Fu Niu'er might be sick, the Li family panicked, threw away their work, and wanted to follow her.
In the end, it was Li Laoer who drove the donkey cart and took Mrs. Li, Li Laosi and Tao Hongying to the county.
There were too many people in the donkey cart and it was not fast. The rest of the people could only watch them at the door with red eyes.
Wu Cuihua was drooling while holding the jar of pickled eggs. Seeing this, she secretly muttered.
"As for it, a girl movie..."
After hearing this, Zhao Yuru gave her a rare look and snatched away the jar...
The bumps of the donkey cart were like a cradle, and Jiayin fell into a deeper sleep, never waking up once.
This made Mrs. Li and Mr. Li even more worried.
When they arrived in the county, the family went straight to the herbal soup with the best reputation, Baicaotang.
The old doctor with a gray beard was very serious when he saw that the patient was a child.
After diagnosing his pulse and checking again, he was a little bit dumbfounded.
"There's nothing wrong with this child, he's just too young. It's good to sleep a little longer while he's growing. However, he may have caught wind and cold and has a little low-grade fever."
She touched the palm of the child's hand again and told him.
"Go back and wipe your body with warm water. Don't let her cry and worry. She will be fine in a few days."
After hearing this, the hearts of the Li family finally dropped.
After thanking the old doctor and paying the ten-cent consultation fee, the family left the medicine hall.
Mrs. Li said as she saw that it was still early and it was a rare trip to the city.
"Fourth brother, I'll sit here with Fu Niu'er in my arms and rest for a while. You, the second brother, and Hongying go to the market and buy everything you need at home."
Li Laosi glanced at the little boy on the donkey cart. A basket of apples and chestnuts stirred my heart.
This was what Zhao Yuru was pretending to do when they hurried out.
I'm afraid Fu Niu'er will give it to the doctor in case something happens, and he will do his best.
"Mom, do you remember the former escort leader Liu? I want to visit him and give him these apples and chestnuts, okay?"
Li Laosi asked his mother for her opinion.
Mrs. Li thought about how escort Liu had taken care of their family on the road, and there was no reason to disagree.
"Go ahead, I'm afraid these mountain goods are a bit light. You can buy something else and put them together. They won't be too thin."
After speaking, Mrs. Li took the largest silver lock from her arms and stuffed it to her. Son, he said again.
"Then you go find Mr. Liu and let your second brother watch the donkey cart. Hongying and I will take Fu Niuer around and we'll meet here in half an hour."
"I understand, mother."
Li Laosi I habitually touched my daughter's little face, then asked all the way and found the escort agency.
"Hey, Qiu Sheng, why are you here? Come in and sit down!"
Biaotou Liu was very happy to see Li Laosi and pushed the small basket and refused to accept it.
"What are you doing with these things? You have a big family to feed!"
Li Laosi touched an apple, held it in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Brother Liu, I won't show you the other things, but I got this in the mountains a few days ago. It's a rare and good fruit, so I'm bringing it to you, so you can eat it fresh."
Liu Biaotou looked at the fruit . It's red, I like it too.
"Indeed, this fruit really doesn't look like one that grows in the mountains. It looks delicious. My boy has been a little angry recently and his mouth has blistered. Then I'm not welcome. I'll take it back and give it to him to sweeten his mouth."
He said this. , he took it over with Le Dian Dian and pulled Li Laosi to sit down.
Li Laosi reported his home address.
"Thanks to Brother Liu for taking care of us before, our family was able to come to Junyang County safely. Now we have bought a house and fields in Qingshui Village, and we plan to settle down in the future. Whenever Brother Liu has free time, he must go to his house to sit."
"Of course, I will definitely go and recognize the door someday and walk around more often."
The two of them were chatting and laughing happily, and then the head guard Liu suddenly thought of something and said.
"By the way, brothers, you are here from out of town. I'm afraid you don't have all the things you need to know about life. We are close to Kyoto, and the government is very strict. If you buy a kitchen knife, you have to report it."
He pointed in the direction of Kyoto . , quite a bit disdainful.
"Fortunately, our bureau only eats food that licks blood from the edge of a knife, so it's not difficult to get some iron tools. I bought two more sickles, a wood-chopping ax, and an iron pot the day before yesterday. If you don't mind it, I'll do it soon. Take it back and use it."
Li Laosi was overjoyed when he heard this. There was only one iron pot at home, brought from Saibei, and the kitchen knife was also curled, not to mention the other axes and sickles.
I wanted to buy it before, but I heard it was nothing more than a hassle. Unexpectedly, Biao Liu solved it for the first time.
"That's great, Brother Liu, you are really timely. We are short of these things at home, and I won't be polite to you anymore. I will come to my house for a drink someday. My wife is a good cook, so let's have two more drinks."
"Okay, this is how it should be. I was afraid that you wouldn't want it, and you would have to give in and give in all the time. This is a real man!"
Liu Biaotou laughed, and he and Li Laosi were really at odds with each other.
After saying a few words, Li Laosi thought about his mother, wife and children, so he took the iron pot on his back and left with his ax and sickle.
Of course, he insisted on giving him five taels of silver. He only had so much in his pocket. If it wasn't enough, he would have to make up for it next time.
Liu Biao quickly gave up and made another appointment to go hunting and drink together when they had free time, and then the two of them broke up.
On the other side, Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter, and Tao Hongying carried a basket and did a lot of shopping.
A large family has just settled down and really lacks everything.
Some new cotton needs to be added to the old coats and trousers to keep them warmer. Jiaren and the others have grown taller, so they need to make new linings and cotton shoes.
There is also good news. The Sun family only gave them summer clothes and thin quilts, but no thick winter coats or quilts...
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked hard to save and reduce expenses. In the end, they spent more than three taels of silver and filled two baskets. .
When Mr. Li came back happily and saw the axe, sickle and big iron pot, the whole family was very happy.
This is what the family lacks the most. I originally wanted to ask the village chief for help, but unexpectedly Liu Biaotou easily solved it.
The family drove the donkey cart and returned home happily.
Jiayin finally woke up at this moment, and Tao Hongying quickly put her daughter in her arms and fed her well.
Mrs. Li immediately took it, kissed her granddaughter, and teased her twice.
She was completely relieved when she saw that her granddaughter's sleeping face was red and her big eyes were twitching. It really didn't look like she was sick.
Stepping on the dusk glow, the donkey cart clattered along, and finally we saw the entrance of Qingshui Village from a distance.
"What happened? There seem to be a lot of people at the entrance of the village?"
Li Laosi had a good look in his eyes and stretched his neck to look forward.
As we got closer, there was indeed a faint noise coming from the place.
