Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 150 The deadline is approaching
At the same time, Zhou Family Courtyard in Linfang County, Qingyang County.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." A piercing cough came from the room.

There were two maids standing at the door of the room, one of them was wearing a turquoise dress, and the immature girl lowered her head and said to the slightly mature maid beside her, "Sister Zhen'er, listen, Madam's illness has occurred again. Be serious before." After the little girl finished speaking, she secretly glanced at the surrounding environment, and only dared to take a breath when she found that the serious Wang Momo was not there.

The maid who was called sister Zhen'er by the little girl first looked down at her surroundings, then reached out and patted the little girl's arm, and said in a low voice, "Zhi'er, don't talk nonsense, it's because Mother Wang is not here, otherwise...be careful of your skin "

Facing Zhen'er's threats, the little girl Zhi'er was full of disbelief, "No way, the master of our mansion is known as a master doctor, so he won't let Mother Wang punish us."

"Didn't you see the obvious blue under the corners of the master's eyes these two days? And the master left again yesterday. He said that there was news from the south that there was a medicine that could cure my wife's illness. Besides, my wife's illness has been on the rise since winter. It's not going to be easy, you little girl, what are you talking about every day?" Zhen'er just finished saying this before she was slapped back by the little girl named Zhi'er.

"Sister Zhen'er, this kind of disappearance hasn't stopped since the new year. Although the master will run out every time he hears the news, when will the medicinal materials he brought back be useful? I guess..."

"Quiet" Zhen'er interrupted Zhi'er's words directly and sharply. Which maid would dare to talk about her master behind her back? Zhi'er received Zhen'er's gaze and knew it was her fault, so she quickly bowed her head and begged for mercy, " Good sister, I know I was wrong, sister, don't be angry, I won't say it again next time, okay?"

Zhen'er looked at Zhi'er who was begging for mercy with a flattering smile, shook her head and sighed, "Next time, let's have a snack, don't cause trouble these days." Zhen'er wanted to warn Zhi'er again, but was called out by a voice from the side.

The two looked back, was it the mother Wang they were talking about before?The two were stunned for a moment, and broke out in cold sweat. They were glad that the other party didn't hear what they said before. They were afraid that they would be reprimanded for being late, so they nodded and ran over...

After coughing in the room, Mrs. Xu quickly picked up the handkerchief in her hand and covered the corner of her mouth. With a weak smile, she fixedly looked at Zhou Huaiyan beside her, and said with a soft smile, "Yan'er, mother is fine." In Xu's weak words, there is really no strong evidence, but it gives her a strong body, which is even more disturbing.

In fact, Mrs. Xu was really supporting her body. Her body was already at the end of its strength. When Zhou Mingfeng came back with Master Ming'an, after Master Ming'an's diagnosis and treatment, she was also at a loss. The heavy snow made Xu's already fragile body worse. It was already early spring, but Xu was still covered with the previous quilt, and there were still 4 pots of warm pots in the room. Everyone knew that, She can't do it anymore!

Zhou Huaiyan was wearing a plain robe today, his hair was all tied up high, revealing a smooth forehead and a handsome face, but the expression on his face was not as relaxed as he was in Heishan Town before. The whole person is in a tense state, whether it is the mother's illness or the abnormality of the father, it makes Zhou Huaiyan, a child who has just turned nine years old, feel uneasy. No matter how smart he is, he can't change his immature face.

After Zhou Huaiyan listened to Xu's words, he paused for a moment with the spoon in his hand stirring the traditional Chinese medicine, then raised his head, looked at his mother with his bright eyes, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said in a cold tone Said, "Mother, this medicine is cold, mother, drink it quickly, father has not returned home, mother must not make things difficult for the son." After Zhou Huaiyan finished speaking, he handed over the porcelain bowl in his hand, and Xu looked down at it. The medicine bowl next to it remained silent for a long time.

Because of the aggravation of Xu's condition, Zhou Mingfeng lived a busy life again. After the New Year, Zhou Mingfeng directly handed over the shop in Linfang County to Zhou Huaiyan, and then he ran to various places to ask for medicine. Xu wanted to persuade his family Master, she is very clear about her body. Unless the time goes back, her disease is incurable, but every time she shows Zhou Mingfeng's tired face, those words come to her lips again. I can't tell, forget it!never mind!Just think of her as being selfish, she is also a layman in her heart!
Zhou Huaiyan raised his arm sorely, before Xu took the medicine bowl, Zhou Huaiyan withdrew his hand first, and then said, his tone was full of doubts, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Zhou Huaiyan didn't know what her mother was thinking. Looking at his mother's slightly hollow eyes, Zhou Huaiyan thought that his mother missed his father again. His father just came home the day before yesterday. After receiving the news from the south yesterday, Gu Huaiyan Unable to travel and travel, Zhou Huaiyan left in a hurry. At that time, Zhou Huaiyan wanted to talk to his father about his mother's recent physical problems, but unfortunately he still didn't have time.

"Mother, don't worry. I heard that the news this time is very accurate. Dad will be back in two days." Zhou Huaiyan got up, poured out the cold Chinese medicine in the bowl, then picked up the jar on the side, and poured it out again. A bowl, and sat back on the bed.

Xu shook her head and smiled, and said softly, "Mother is not worried about your father, Yaner, what mother is worried about is you." Xu looked at Zhou Huaiyan's face, feeling that the corners of his eyes were blurred, Xu lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, then turned back Then he said, "Yan'er, mother is really fine. There are still many things in the shop. You don't need to come here to accompany mother every day." Yan'er was only nine years old, and he ran back and forth. Zhou Huaiyan's mother felt even more guilty. It seemed that since she gave birth to Yan'er, she no longer had much energy to pay attention to him. Not to mention her own illness, Xu laughed at herself, and suddenly felt itchy in her throat and coughed again. Cough cough.

Zhou Huaiyan stretched out his hand and patted Xu Shi's back. After Xu Shi stabilized, he looked at his mother worriedly.

"It's okay, give the medicine to mother." Xu reached out to take the medicine in Zhou Huaiyan's hand, then raised his head suddenly, and drank it directly. Because he drank too much medicine, Xu coughed twice after drinking.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu had finished drinking the medicine, Zhou Huaiyan chatted with Mrs. Xu for a few more words, and finally got up, ready to leave and go to the front yard to deal with things, "Mother, my son has something to do in the front yard, I will come to see you later"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu nodded, turned her head and watched Zhou Huaiyan leave with a smile, and when there was no one in the room, she coughed violently again...

As soon as Zhou Huaiyan stepped out of Xu's room, he heard Xu's louder cough than before. Standing at the door, Zhou Huaiyan clenched his hands unconsciously. He just wanted to go in and take a look, but he thought about it. with.Still turned and left...

At this time, his mother probably doesn't really want to see her!

The herbal hall in Heishan Town.

Before Chunqiu, he didn't know why Grandpa Zhou was in a bad mood all of a sudden, he just thought it was because he said something unintentionally that offended the other party, although later Dabao explained to her that it wasn't her fault.

Chunqiu helped Dabao pack up the Chinese herbal medicine for a while, watching the sun was about to set, worried that Mrs. Yang and Li were worried, so Chunqiu said goodbye to Dabao.

Back at the shop, being nagged by the worried Yang and Li for a while, Chunqiu hurriedly raised his hand to promise that he would never come back so late next time, so he passed today without any danger.
