Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11932

Luo Fengtang snapped out of his daze and saw that both Luo the blacksmith and Zhou Wang were looking at him expectantly. He forcibly suppressed the truth that was on the tip of his tongue.

"We can try anything." That was all he could say, offering this ambiguous statement.

Just as everyone tells Aunt Da'e a white lie, he is also telling them a second white lie.

In the latter half of the night, no one spoke anymore, because after soaking their feet, all three of them gradually became sleepy.

Luo the blacksmith was forcibly moved to another bed next to him by Luo Fengtang and Zhou Wang and made to lie down and sleep.

Luo Fengtang and Zhou Wang, on the other hand, were sitting there fully clothed, dozing off.

And so, accompanied by the howling north wind outside, the snoring of Luo the blacksmith inside, and the breathing of Luo Da'e, the night finally passed, and dawn broke.

After everyone had breakfast, the clinic owner and several doctors came to check on Luo Da'e's condition, but she was still unconscious.

Zhou Wang then told the doctors about what they had discussed the previous night.

The doctors' answers, just as Luo Fengtang had predicted, were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the last spark of enthusiasm between Zhou Wang and Luo the blacksmith.

However, the doctor also prescribed two doses of medicine for Zhou Wang to take home.

One is a medication similar to relieving a patient's pain.

Another prescription is for patients who have difficulty eating and are malnourished; it is a nutritional supplement.

When Luo the blacksmith heard that there was a kind of medicine that could provide nutrition without food, he saw a glimmer of hope again and urged Zhou Wang, "Make a few more doses of this kind of nutritional medicine!"

Zhou Wang hesitated.

"Why are you hesitating? Is it because you don't have enough money? Your uncle has money here, don't worry about the money!"

Luo the blacksmith got anxious and almost cursed Zhou Wang. He reached into his pocket to give Zhou Wang some silver, but Zhou Wang stopped him.

"Uncle, it's not about the money. I've said it before, as long as it can save my mother, I'll sell everything I own without batting an eye!"

"Then why didn't you prescribe more of those nutritional supplements?"

"Uncle, the doctor said that when it really comes to using those nutritional supplements, it's when you can't even eat porridge!"

“Those nutritional supplements can only be administered intravenously for a period of time, and the process of relying on medication to keep her alive is extremely painful for my mother!”

To be honest, living like that is worse than being dead and finding relief.

So, rather than letting Mother linger on in agony like that, it's better to...

The blacksmith stood there stunned for a moment, and then the old man finally understood Zhou Wang's good intentions.

The old man was filled with sorrow, heartache, inner turmoil, and helplessness. Tears welled up in his eyes, and in the end, he could only wave his hand and say, "You decide what to do! Oh, my poor sister, how could she have gotten such a terrible disease..."

Zhou Wang turned around and went to the front yard to take care of these matters.

Luo Fengtang followed and insisted on settling all the expenses for this trip to the clinic in one go.

"Tang Yazi, there's no need, I have money!"

"Cousin, please do as I say. This is the only way I can do something for Auntie." Luo Fengtang's tone was very low.

"Keep your money. While your aunt can still eat and drink, make sure she gets plenty of good food and drinks."

In the future, there will be fewer regrets.

Zhou Wang nodded silently.

Now that they have completed the settlement, they are just waiting for Luo Da'e to wake up so they can set off back to Zhoujia Village at any time.

As noon approached, the effects of the medicine on Luo Da'e gradually wore off, and she finally opened her eyes slowly after a good night's sleep.

After opening her eyes, she lay there, her eyes slowly rolling around a couple of times, taking in the roof tiles and beams before her memories finally came back to her.

Especially at this moment, Luo the blacksmith stood by the hospital bed with a tense body, staring intently at her. When she finally looked in his direction, Luo the blacksmith quickly stepped forward, letting his anxious face appear in Luo Da'e's sight.

"Hey girl, how's it going? How did it go?" Luo the blacksmith pressed.

“Brother…” Luo Da’e called out to Luo the blacksmith in a trembling voice, her voice still very hoarse.

"Hey girl, I'm here, I'm here."

Luo the blacksmith grabbed Luo Da'e's hand, which she had just lifted from the bed, and held it tightly in his palm.

"Girl, why are your hands so cold? Are you cold?" The blacksmith Luo rubbed Luo Da'e's hands vigorously, trying to warm them up.

At that moment, Zhou Wang and Luo Fengtang also came in from outside.

The two of them just went out to buy things, mainly to accompany Zhou Wang. With the end of the year approaching, the Zhou family has no New Year's goods at all.

Xiao Huan had to take care of Luo Da'e, two children, and cook for the whole family, so she simply didn't have time to buy New Year's goods.

After this group returns, they will have to take even better care of Luo Da'e, and Zhou Wang himself will be busy with the chicken farm, so he will definitely have even less time to prepare for the New Year.

So Zhou Wang happened to be in the county town, and he took the opportunity to visit a general store and bought some candy, mushrooms, wood ear fungus, and other things.

Then I went to Wattanaya Pravda and bought fish and other things.

Luo Fengtang accompanied him and helped carry his things. By the way, Luo Fengtang also brought some candied hawthorns and sugar figurines from the county town for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, mainly so that they wouldn't go back empty-handed.

However, when Luo Fengtang arrived at the clinic, he noticed that the small restaurant across the street was open. After discussing it with Zhou Wang, the two of them went in and bought lunch for Luo the blacksmith and Luo Da'e.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw the blacksmith Luo vigorously rubbing Luo Da'e's hands, while anxiously saying, "Why are her hands so cold? What's going on? We've covered her with three quilts..."

“Uncle, my aunt hasn’t eaten anything, and she’s not feeling warm!” Luo Fengtang said.

Then she carried the food box to the small table by the bed and said, "Auntie, are you awake? I brought you some shredded pork noodles."

Upon hearing the name "shredded pork noodles," Luo Da'e's eyes lit up. She turned her head, her gaze following the food box in Luo Fengtang's hand.

"I'm really hungry..." she said.

Upon hearing this, Luo the blacksmith immediately helped Luo Da'e sit up.

Soon, Luo Fengtang brought a full bowl of shredded pork noodles to Luo Da'e, and Luo the blacksmith took it first, saying, "I'll feed your aunt."

“Brother, I still have the strength to hold the bowl, please don’t treat me like a seriously ill patient!” Luo Da’e said.

Only then did the blacksmith Luo carefully hand the bowl of noodles to her.

Luo Da'e first took a big gulp of noodle soup, "So delicious!"

She picked up her chopsticks again, poked a mouthful of noodles, wrapped it around the chopsticks several times, then opened her mouth and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed it vigorously, then swallowed it forcefully.

"Delicious, really delicious! I haven't had such good noodles in ages!"

After saying that, Luo Da'e lowered her head again and continued eating her noodles, leafy greens, shredded meat, and the poached egg...

On either side of the hospital bed, and at the foot of the bed, stood Luo the blacksmith, Luo Fengtang, and Zhou Wang, respectively.

While Luo Da'e was eating noodles, all three men kept their eyes fixed on her throat.

I was afraid that such delicious noodles, and that she was so hungry, would end up only passing through her mouth without being able to swallow them, which would be a tragedy!
Unexpectedly, Luo Da'e not only swallowed that big mouthful of noodles, but also continued to eat shredded meat, leafy greens, and a poached egg...

Look at how she eats, wolfing it down, just like a normal person.

Apart from Luo Fengtang, both Luo the blacksmith and Zhou Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially for blacksmith Luo, a sense of anticipation rose within him once again...

I'm hoping for a miracle!

"Mother..." Zhou Wangcai had just started to speak when Luo the blacksmith immediately stopped him with a look.

Hey kid, what are you yelling about? Didn't you see your mother finally getting a bite to eat?

Don't interrupt her, let her eat freely!

Zhou Wang understood Luo the blacksmith's intention and was so frightened that he quickly bit his lip, almost biting off his tongue, for fear that he would make any more noise and disturb his mother.

Luo Da'e finished the whole bowl of noodles in one go. After she finished eating, she looked up and went to look at the food box on the small table.

The blacksmith Luo immediately understood and quickly went over to take out the food from the food box, presenting it to Luo Da'e as if it were a precious treasure: "Sister, come on, try this food again!"

"I just finished a big bowl of noodles, I'm afraid I can't eat any more..." Luo Da'e was originally going to say a few words of modesty, but then she saw the pieces of braised pork, each about the size of fermented bean curd, tied with thin hemp rope, in the black pottery bowl...

Luo Da'e swallowed hard, her eyes practically popping out of her head!

She didn't have any other health problems, but rather a lump on her neck that was causing neck pain and difficulty swallowing.

Her appetite has always been good; she's always starving, but can only eat bland, watery food.

"Come on, eat some more. The noodles are too soft; you need something firmer to keep you full." The blacksmith Luo shoved the chopsticks into Luo Da'e's hand.

"Okay, then I'll have a few more bites."

Luo Da'e picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth... a look of blissful delight on her face.

Luo the blacksmith was so excited that his breathing became heavy, especially when he saw Luo Da'e eating one piece after another. This excited him even more than if he had eaten it himself!
Zhou Wang was also very happy. He scurried over and brought out another bowl of stir-fried mushrooms and greens, which he also served to Luo Da'e.

"Mom, the braised pork is a bit too greasy, but you like the stir-fried vegetables too."

"tasty!"

Luo Da'e moved her chopsticks back and forth between the two large wrists in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, she had eaten more than half of both bowls of food, and her chopstick movements slowed down considerably.

"Oh dear, I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore."

"Oh dear, look at my greedy mouth! I couldn't stop eating once I started, and I finished all of your portions!"

When her appetite was finally satisfied, Luo Da'e realized that her previous ravenous behavior had resulted in her eating all the food for the three of them!

She was immediately filled with remorse and wished she could slap herself!

Dead mouth!
She even wanted to slap the hand that held the chopsticks.

Stop it! Why can't you stop? Are the chopsticks welded to your five fingers?
What are these three eating now?

"Oh dear, I... oh dear!" Luo Da'e was so annoyed she didn't know what to say. Just a moment ago, she had completely lost control of herself!

"Da'e, as long as you can eat, eat as much as you want, don't have any other silly thoughts!" Luo the blacksmith looked at her with relief, wishing he could feed the remaining braised pork, vegetables and mushrooms in the bowl into Luo Da'e's stomach.

Zhou Wang looked at her with delighted surprise. "My mother can eat again? That's wonderful!"
As for Luo Fengtang, although he didn't harbor the same wishful thinking as them, he was still very gratified to see his aunt eat more. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that she could eat now and eat as much as she liked, so as not to have too many regrets in the future.

So Luo Fengtang planned to go back and discuss it with Yang Ruoqing. He wanted to send more delicious food to Aunt Da'e in the next couple of days, preferably from Tianxianglou in Qingshui Town. The chef there cooks delicious and rare dishes that Aunt Da'e would definitely like, and Uncle Da'e would also be happy.

Moreover, Luo Fengtang was absolutely certain that Yang Ruoqing would only agree and not disagree, because Qing'er was a kind-hearted person.

"Uncle, there are still two dishes in the food box. Let's see if Aunt can squeeze one in," Luo Fengtang reminded her again.

"There's more? That's great, let me see!"

Luo the blacksmith put the remaining braised pork, green vegetables, and mushrooms back on the small table, and then took out the two dishes from the bottom of the food box.

Well, one of them is a piece of fried pumpkin coated in crab roe and wheat flour. As soon as you take it out, you can smell the unique caramelized aroma of pumpkin. It's also golden and looks very appetizing.

There was also a bowl of ginger duck, which was very appetizing. Thick pieces of duck meat were soaked in spicy red oil, which made Luo the blacksmith suddenly hungry, even though he had just eaten a bowl of shredded pork noodles last night...

"Da'e, come on, try these two dishes again."

The blacksmith Luo turned around and delivered the two dishes to Luo Da'e.

Having just finished a large bowl of rice and eaten a lot of vegetables, Luo Da'e, who had made up her mind to put down her chopsticks, hesitated for a moment. Encouraged by Luo Fengtang and Zhou Wang, and under their expectant gazes, she nodded, "Okay, then I'll sneak in one more bite!"

They said they were just filling in the gaps, but they ate three big pieces of ginger duck and five pieces of crab roe fried pumpkin!

While eating, he exclaimed, "It's so delicious! We have so many ducks at our chicken farm, and we always braise or stew them. Why didn't we ever think of cooking them like this?"

Zhou Wang scratched his head and chuckled, "Tang Ya bought this at the restaurant next door. That's why I say restaurant; they really put thought into this!"

Restaurants make their money this way, but for home cooking, as long as it's cooked and edible, it's fine as long as it's done to save time and effort!

How can you even compare them? There's absolutely no comparison!

Finally, it was confirmed that Luo Da'e truly could not eat anymore, and that she kept hiccuping while sitting on the bed.

After Luo the blacksmith stopped, he brewed a bowl of hot tea for Luo Da'e to hold and warm her hands. Touching the girl's hands, he found them much warmer than when she had just woken up. Luo the blacksmith's anxiety finally subsided.

"Brother, Tang Yazi, Zhou Wang, you guys should eat quickly, or it'll get cold," Luo Da'e reminded them.

"Okay, let's eat now."

"We guys can eat cold food without any problem!"

"That won't do either. It's so cold, you'll get a stomachache," Luo Da'e said. "Once you guys finish eating, let's hurry up and tidy up the house!"
