The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Huo Zhengping had been sitting there, paying attention to Huo Jun. Everyone fell asleep. Huo Zhengping quietly got down to touch Huo Jun's forehead. He seemed to be feeling better. He tucked in the quilt for him and put his hat on him. The room was getting colder and colder.

After a while, Huo Zhengping would touch his son's head to see if he was sweating and if the fever in his legs had subsided.

After more than an hour, Huo Jun's fever finally subsided, and his chest was no longer stuffy. He felt a little hungry and remembered the millet porridge Siying mentioned. He wanted to eat it, but he was embarrassed to wake up his sister to heat up the meal for him.

When Huo Zhengping saw him move, he thought he had woken up, so he got up quietly and went to ask Huo Jun.

"woke up?"

Huo Jun said "hmm" softly.

Huo Zhengping, "Are you hungry? I'll go heat up some porridge for you."

Huo Jun had never seen his father cooking at home, "Dad..."

Huo Zhengping, "Don't wake them up, just lie down."

The fever finally subsided, so I just lay down quietly.

Huo Zhengping went to the kitchen to light the fire and heat up the porridge for Huo Jun. He also started out as a soldier. Which soldier doesn't know how to light a fire and cook? It was only when he became a leader that he had people to serve him at home and outside that he stopped doing it himself.

As Huo Zhengping was lighting the fire, he couldn't help but recall the time when he cooked fish soup for Huo Sheng's mother. A smile appeared on his face. Alas! It was such a long time ago!

Now that I am old, I may never have the chance to see her again in this life!

Huo Zhengping heated up the millet porridge and gave it to his son. He added a ladle of water to the pot, put all the firewood in the stove pit, and then sat back on the kang.

After Huo Jun finished eating, he felt much better and more energetic, so he remembered to take the bowl to the kitchen himself.

Huo Zhengping whispered, "Give it to me." He took the bowl from his son's hand. "Cover yourself with the quilt and go to sleep." He took the bowl back to the kitchen and then lay down to sleep. It was almost dawn.

Huo Sheng got up at four in the morning and told Huo Siyan to get up. Huo Siyan was really good. Although she didn't want to get up, she still gritted her teeth and got up. She was determined not to give in.

Huo Sheng led her and walked a long way until they found a place that was sheltered from the wind and difficult to be seen by the villagers.

Huo Sheng said seriously, "I will teach you. You must practice well, but you must not show off in front of others, you must not fight with others easily, and you must not bully the weak."

Huo Siyan promised seriously, "I will definitely do it."

Huo Sheng, "I'll play it first, you watch first."

Huo Sheng taught her the boxing skills that Qi Feifei had practiced at the beginning. This set of boxing skills is all practical. If you are bullied, you can fight back quickly and it will be effective. Girls still need to have some ability to protect themselves.

Huo Siyan was a strong-willed girl who studied very hard and didn't go home until it was almost time for dinner.

She skipped into the courtyard and said, "Sister, sister, I'm back. Is the meal ready?"

She was so hungry that her front and back cavities collapsed.

Huo Siying, "Okay, wash your hands and put them on the table."

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the pot and cooked a pot of corn porridge with some beans in it.

"Brother didn't come back with you?"

Huo Siyan, "No, he asked me to come back by myself."

Huo Siying looked at the window, but it was all frost and nothing could be seen. She thought, it's not easy for my brother either, he has to freeze outside for a whole day.

Not long after the family finished their meal, Su Xiaorou came back. The wolves didn't come last night, so Captain Qu had nothing to do at night, so he could cook for his wife and children. His wife could take care of the children herself, so he didn't need her much.

She was really worried about Huo Jun, so she ate breakfast, packed up and hurried back.

As soon as I entered the room, I went to see Huo Jun. I saw him sitting on the kang with a quilt wrapped around him. He seemed to be in better spirits, and I felt relieved.

"Come out a little, mom will touch your head."

Huo Jun leaned to the edge of the kang so that Su Xiaorou could reach his forehead. "Mom, it's not hot anymore."

Su Xiaorou, "Well, it's okay, let's consolidate it and drink another bowl of green onion water."

Huo Jun, "I took the medicine, so I don't need to boil the green onion water."

Su Xiaorou, "Where did the medicine come from?" When did Team Doctor Gao start prescribing Chinese medicine?

Huo Jun said happily, "My brother brought it back. I drank it last night and my fever went away in the second half of the night."

Su Xiaorou thought, didn't he bring anything back? Her eyes were full of confusion, where did he get the medicine?

Huo Jun, "Really? He dug a snow cave outside the village and put all his things there. He saw that I had a fever last night, so he went to get them."

Su Xiaorou, "Oh! It's getting better. What medicine? Do you have any more? Let me see it."

You can't take medicine randomly, she has to see what kind of medicine it is.

Huo Jun, "Go look in the kitchen." He had been lying on the kang the whole time, so he didn't know either.

Huo Siying and Huo Siyan went to work. Huo Zhengping stayed up most of the night and lay down again after dinner.

Su Xiaorou went to the kitchen to look around and found several packets of Chinese medicine on the cupboard. She opened them and found that the herbs were pretty good. Although she didn't know what the prescription was, the smell of the medicine was strong and the quality looked good.

She pinched the jujube with her hands and found the flesh was quite thick. She put it under her nose and smelled it. It had a strong jujube fragrance and she really wanted to eat one. She swallowed her saliva, put it back and wrapped the medicine bag.

I saw a sack against the wall. Isn't this something from her house? I opened the sack and saw what was inside.

There are really a lot of them. There is a smile in my eyes. I take them out one by one and look at them. They all look very fresh.

"Huo Jun, where did this thing come from?"

Huo Jun, "What is it? Oh, it seems to be something my brother brought back."

He had a fever and was in a daze last night, and it sounded like they were talking about getting something.

Su Xiaorou, "This is more like going home. Where did he get these things?" He has neither a home nor a job.

Huo Jun: "How should I know?" He didn't know what was taken.

Su Xiaorou looked through it for a long time, grabbed a handful of cucumber seeds and soaked them in water before going into the house.

"Why is your dad sleeping in the middle of the day? Is he catching a cold too?"

I walked over and touched his forehead. "It's not hot either."

Huo Jun: "I must have been sleepy. My dad even got up in the middle of the night to heat up food for me."

This was the first time in history. Huo Jun felt very happy.

Su Xiaorou was a little surprised. He could still go to the kitchen? He was so old, so successful!

Huo Zhengping didn't sleep well. He closed his eyes and didn't move at all.

"Huo Sheng also took two roe deer leather waistcoats, one for Siying and one for Siyan. They are in the box now."

You should be happy this time, right?

Su Xiaorou's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of her mouth were raised. This was a rare good thing. Anyone in the military compound would be very happy to get such a thing.

Su Xiaorou immediately went to look through the box, took it out, spread it on the kang and looked at it. It was so big? She picked it up and measured it.

“Is this for Siying and Siyan?”

Huo Sheng doesn't know how to buy anything.

Huo Zhengping also opened his eyes. "He said that he bought both of them when he saw them."

Su Xiaorou, "No wonder, it doesn't look like what they are wearing. You and Huo Jun are wearing similar clothes. How can a girl wear such big clothes?"

She tried one on Huo Jun.

"Huo Jun, take off your cotton jacket and put it on so I can see it."
