The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Qi Feifei waited until the mother and son in that room fell asleep, then brought Huo Sheng into the courtyard.

There are benefits to soaking in hot springs. At least it helps injuries heal faster without leaving scars.

I don't know if it will work for Huo Sheng's strange disease. I'll try soaking it in bubbles, maybe it will have some effect.

This time she was ruthless and lent him her beautiful bathtub.

Huo Sheng now has difficulty unbuttoning his clothes.

Qi Feifei helped him take off his clothes generously.

Huo Sheng's face flushed red, he didn't know where to look, and his tongue seemed to be tied.

"I, I, I..."

Qi Feifei didn't wait for him to finish and unbuttoned her clothes in a few seconds.

"I'll help you take off your outer coat, cotton jacket and trousers, you can take off your inner clothes slowly."

Qi Feifei did it as calmly and skillfully as if she was taking off clothes for her own child.

"Okay, just go in and soak in it slowly. If you feel uncomfortable or need anything, just let me know."

After taking off his clothes, Qi Feifei went out to take care of his own business.

Huo Sheng slowly immersed himself in the spring water.

The warm water moisturizes the skin, and the faint fragrance makes the whole person relax slowly.

The anxiety and boredom that I have been feeling for this period of time seem to have temporarily gone away.

Huo Sheng slowly closed his eyes, emptied his mind, thought of nothing, and slowly fell asleep.

Qi Feifei was busy around the house and in the yard.

The potatoes and cabbages in the vegetable garden have grown and need to be harvested and replanted.

Red beans and mung beans also need to be harvested.

After finishing all these, it’s time to harvest corn, soybeans and so on.

There is a lot of work to do next.

She worked until midnight and finally finished chopping the cabbage.

Huo Sheng hadn't called her, and she wasn't sure if he could get dressed or if he had gone back to sleep.

Went to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"Huo Sheng, Huo Sheng, are you in there?"

No response, so he called out again.

"Huo Sheng, Huo Sheng, are you still in there?"

Huo Sheng heard someone calling him in a daze. He tried hard to open his eyes, only to find that he was still in the bathtub.

My skin was all wrinkled. My body was still cold, but my skin was warmer.

"Oh, I'm here, wait a moment."

Huo Sheng slowly climbed up, his back and buttocks numb from pressing against the wall of the tank.

After moving around gently for a while, he finally got out of the bathtub.

Qi Feifei didn't urge him, she could hear everything going on inside clearly.

Qi Feifei heard him taking a long time to put on his clothes before he went in.

Huo Sheng had already put on his underwear and was putting on his cotton pants.

Qi Feifei didn't look at his face or say anything, but carefully helped him put on his clothes.

Towel dry his hair.

"Sleep in the back room. I'll wake you up in the morning."

Qi Feifei helped him over, went back to his room and fell asleep.

The next morning, around five o'clock, I heard Damin's mother get up and light a fire.

Qi Feifei got up and moved Huo Sheng out. She didn't wake him up and covered him tightly with a blanket.

Qi Feifei went out of the house, picked up the thermos and poured water into the enamel pot.

"Good morning, aunt."

There was a hint of complexity in Damin's mother's eyes.

Even if these two children get together, I'm afraid their life will not be easy.

"Good morning! Go to sleep a little longer, girl. It's still early. Wait until I heat up the house, then you can get up."

It's uncomfortable enough to curl up on that small sofa all night.

This girl is really sincere to Huo Sheng.

What girl could endure such an injustice?

It's already this late, why don't you stay away?

Qi Feifei, "Auntie, no need. I get up early at home too. I'll cook with you later."

Qi Feifei brushed her teeth and washed her face quickly.

Damin's mother had already lit the stove in the house.

Take an enamel basin to Xiaomi.

Qi Feifei filled the teapot with spring water and sat on the stove to boil it.

I went out with Damin's mother again, took her basin, and cooked the porridge.

Damin’s mother, this child is too hardworking. She feels embarrassed.

"I just serve..."

Qi Feifei, "I'm just sitting around doing nothing, so go do something else."

Damin's mother didn't argue with her anymore.

"It's quite cold. Wash the rice and then just watch over the stove."

It's a little warmer by the fire.

Damin's mother went downstairs and got a few big steamed buns and some cornmeal cakes, which she heated up in the pot in the kitchen. She also added a few pieces of fermented bean curd and a bowl of shredded pickled vegetables.

Qi Feifei used spring water to cook millet porridge, watching the pot while roasting the fire.

It's so cold, the house is not very warm no matter how hard you try. It's good enough if you don't catch a cold. People who are sick have a hard winter!

Qi Feifei was worried about Huo Sheng.

After the meal was ready, Daming and Huo Sheng got up, and Daming helped Huo Sheng go to the toilet.

Damin's mother said as she set the table,

"Huo Sheng is so stubborn. He refused to go to the toilet in the room no matter what I told him to do. Sigh!"

Qi Feifei looked at the door without saying anything.

When Huo Sheng came back from outside, his face was obviously paler and he kept shivering.

Qi Feifei put the chair next to the stove and asked Daming to help the person sit down.

"Warm yourself up by the fire first."

Then he said to Damin's mother and Damin, "You guys eat first, it will get cold soon. I'll feed him."

Damin's mother looked at her son and saw Damin shaking his head. The mother and son went to the table to eat.

Qi Feifei filled a bowl of millet porridge, added some fermented bean curd, and sat on the stool next to Huo Sheng to feed him.

Huo Sheng, "I'll do it myself, you can go eat too."

Qi Feifei dodged his outstretched hand.

"You did this for me before, so this is my way of repaying you."

Qi Feifei fed him a small bowl of porridge and then stopped. He couldn't eat much now, and he couldn't eat cold and hard food.

Qi Feifei poured another cup of tiger bone wine and handed it to Huo Sheng.

"Drink slowly, and take small sips."

Qi Feifei went to the dining table to eat by herself.

After dinner, Qi Feifei helped Huo Sheng back to the house, let him lie down, and covered him tightly with a quilt.

"How do you feel? Do you feel anything after drinking tiger bone wine?"

Huo Sheng smiled gently.

"I feel a little warm in my stomach."

Qi Feifei didn't know whether it was caused by the alcohol or the effect of the tiger bones.

Then I thought again, I was too anxious. It's not a panacea, so how could it work so quickly?

"Just drink a little at a time, and try to hold on. When you're done, we can try again. Just relax, everything will be fine."

Huo Sheng, "I know, I'm not in a hurry."

Damin finished his meal and went out.

Damin’s mother cleaned the house inside and out.

Huo Sheng said to Damin's mother, "Qi Feifei is here today, and the New Year is coming soon. Go and look around to see if you want to buy anything. You don't have time normally."

Ever since he came back, Damin's mother has been around him every day.

Since they have earned some money this year, the mother and son should make some new clothes.

Damin's mother looked at Qi Feifei and said, "Thank you for your help, young lady. I will come back early to cook dinner."

Qi Feifei, "Go ahead, just come back when you're done, I'll cook dinner."

Daminma left happily.

Huo Sheng asked Qi Feifei to lock the door. "I have something to tell you."

Qi Feifei obediently locked the door.

Huo Sheng asked Qi Feifei to open the wardrobe.

"Take away the wooden board underneath. It's alive."
