Chapter 278: Inexplicable Estrangement
At dinner, Qiao Xiaoru cut a plate of spicy cabbage, made a bowl of spring bamboo shoots and salted broth, steamed a tender egg custard, sprinkled a few chives, and then put a bowl of porridge and a small half bowl of rice, packed it in a basket, and sent it to Widow Shen together.
Who knew that when she arrived at Widow Shen's house, she had a towel wrapped around her head and was making her own food in the kitchen.
Qiao Xiaoru and Tian walked in, she turned to look up at them, her body shook, she covered her forehead, and almost fell.
"Aunt Six!" Qiao Xiaoru was startled, hurriedly paused the basket, stepped forward to support her, and helped her to the outhouse to sit down.
"Y-Why are you here?" Widow Shen coughed.
"Sister Shen, you're sick like this, what are you doing all this? Why don't you lie down and rest? With us, where will we ignore you! Tian sighed.
"Yes, Aunt Six, you have to rest well when you are sick, how dangerous are you, what if you fall?" Qiao Xiaoru also said.
No matter how good your health is, you are still an elderly person. The most feared thing for the elderly is to fall, and many elderly people will never get up again once they fall.
"Look at you, it's as if I'm talking about how serious it is, but I'm just a little cold, and I'll be fine in two days!" Aunt Shen smiled and said, "Now is the time when spring ploughing is busy, you can't finish a lot of things in your own house, don't take the time to come and see me, how upset is this?" Where are our crops so precious, and we can't move even a little bit of wind and cold! ”
As he spoke, he covered his mouth and bent over and coughed.
"Sister Shen, what you said is too polite, how can I listen to this!" Tian said with a smile.
Qiao Xiaoru also said busily: "The symptoms of wind and cold can be big or small, and the sixth aunt should not be too inappropriate." Let's not talk about these for a while, we brought food, you eat some first, I'll boil some hot water for you and wait for a while to wash your hot face and feet, you have a good rest, tomorrow morning, Ah Zhan and I will ask you a doctor to take a look. ”
"Yes! Listen to Xiao Ru about this! Come on, let's eat something first, our Xiaoru's craftsmanship is good, eat it while it's hot! Tian smiled and wanted to bring out the meals one by one.
Widow Shen smiled reluctantly, and an indescribable complex meaning flashed in her eyes, but she raised her hand to stop Tian without thinking about it, and said with a busy smile: "Sister Tian, I really don't need it, I have already cooked porridge on the stove, and it will be fine in a while, wouldn't it be a waste if I don't eat it?" I really don't have an appetite, I just want to drink two mouthfuls of white porridge, you better take these back, leave me here and waste it again! ”
Qiao Xiaoru and Tian looked at each other.
Neither of them expected that Widow Shen would refuse in one go.
"Sister Shen, this-why don't you try this egg custard? It's very light! Tian said again.
Widow Shen just shook her head and smiled a little tiredly: "I really don't need it!" Ming'er doesn't have to bother sending it anymore, when I want to eat it and then I'll tell you, when do you think I'll be polite to you? ”
Qiao Xiaoru's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other again.
Seeing that Tian Shi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Qiao Xiaoru hurriedly stopped her and smiled: "Since Aunt Sixth said so, then let Aunt Six be, but don't be polite to us if you need to." I'll help you boil the porridge well, boil the hot water and then go back, and ask the doctor for you tomorrow morning, do you think it's okay? ”
Widow Shen's heart twitched, and her face became more complicated and unspeakable, but she smiled and said, "You guys go back, just hire a doctor for me tomorrow morning!" Where am I so useless, I can still see a fire. ”
Widow Shen insisted on driving Tian and Qiao Xiaoru away, the two of them knew her temperament, and there was no reason to change what she decided, although she was not very relieved, she had to go back.
Back at home, Tian sighed in wonder: "Sister Shen, what's wrong, why is it suddenly so separated from our family!" Alas, people who are all sick are still strong. ”
Qiao Xiaoru's heart moved, and she suddenly thought that Aunt Shen and her own family seemed to be really separated a lot, but she didn't know when she started.
I don't know why.
If you think about it, it shouldn't have anything to do with the ridiculous family affair that Lu Mei and the Yang family tossed, if it was because of that, it would have been estranged from their own family a long time ago, but it wasn't at that time......
"Mother, could it be that we inadvertently offended Aunt Six?" Qiao Xiaoru thought about it, and it seemed that there was only this reason, although this reason was actually not very reliable.
"No," Tian shook his head without thinking about it: "Your sixth aunt is not such a cautious person, my mother has been dating her for so many years, can you still understand her?" ”
"Then I don't understand," Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile: "Maybe Aunt Sixth really doesn't want to trouble us!" This is also a minor disease, Ming'er invited a doctor early in the morning to see if he prescribed a side medicine to eat, let's not think about it! ”
"That's right!" Tian said so, sighed again, and had to stop eating first.
Early the next morning, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun went to a neighboring village to invite a barefoot doctor to come over and treat Widow Shen.
The doctor said that it was wind and cold, and the herbs for this common disease were all in the medicine box, so he prescribed a prescription on the spot and grabbed three pairs of medicines, so that Widow Shen boiled one pair a day and ate it first, thinking that after eating two or three pairs, she would be able to get better slowly.
Widow Shen listened carefully, paid the money and sent the doctor away.
Qiao Xiaoru and Tian wanted to help her decoct the medicine, but let her drive her away, insisting that she could do it.
Qiao Xiaoru and Tian are not good at arguing with one of her patients, which will make her feel bad and spirited, so she has to give up.
Both of them were helpless, and this Aunt Shen was too strong.
With Tian and Lu Xing'er taking care of the family, Qiao Xiaoru and Fool went into the city.
At this time, the cow was still very nervous, and the two of them did not borrow the Li Zheng family, nor did they let Liu Sanxi send them, so the two of them simply walked by themselves.
It will be there in most of the hour.
The foolish husband was very happy, and he had to carry his daughter-in-law on his back halfway, Qiao Xiaoru saw that there was no one on the road, smiled and leaned on his back, hugged his neck, and really asked him to carry it.
The pickle shop has been renovated and the glass counter has been installed.
Foreman Liu Bao also asked people to help clean and wipe the shop inside and out, clean and dusty, and you can directly open the door to sell things.
Qiao Xiaoru knew that she was stained with the light of Sister Fat, otherwise Foreman Liu Bao would not have done her work so carefully.
I went to Sister Fei's house for a while, had lunch at her house, and invited the sister-in-law Cai.
Qiao Xiaoru carefully explained her requirements and some rules to Sister-in-law Cai, this Sister-in-law Cai is thirty-five or sixteen years old, and her appearance is clean and clean, and she is not as stupid as that, and it is difficult to say a word.
She agreed very simply, with a little humility in her friendship with Qiao Xiaoru, and she regarded Qiao Xiaoru as the owner.
