Be nice, my baby

Chapter No.16

……

"Oh, the stove is going to be raised today, isn't it quite cold?" Ma Kai skillfully picked up a large piece of red charcoal and asked.

"I want to use it! I'll tell you later when I'm eating." Liu Qiang walked quickly towards the well outside with a small basket of vegetables.

"Brother Qiang, Xiaowan will wash it for you!" Li Wan called out from the house when she heard the sound of water being pressed into the well.

"It's cold, don't touch it!" Liu Qiang yelled hurriedly, "Go and watch Brother Ma Kai light the fire and play!"

"I won't go!" Li Wan lay on Liu Qiang's back coquettishly, "I want to play with Brother Qiang!"

Liu Qiang had no choice but to quickly wash the dishes, and dragged Li Wan into the kitchen...

After the three of them had dinner, the coals in the stove were already on fire. Liu Qiang put the open stainless steel pot on it with water, and wrapped the star anise, peppercorns, cinnamon bark, tea leaves, etc. in a small piece of clean cotton cloth. Inside, a few spoonfuls of soy sauce were added, and thirty eggs were counted and placed inside.

Liu Qiang asked Mama Liu to collect the eggs in the village. He only said that someone in the town wanted to buy them, and Mama Liu didn't doubt that they had them.

The native chickens raised in the countryside lay eggs, which are small in size, with an average of twelve eggs per catty, about [-] cents each.

Liu Qiang calculated the cost carefully, and set a price of [-] cents for one tea egg, and [-] cents for two.

"You can try it first, it's definitely better than boiled eggs!" Liu Qiang took out two boiled eggs, cut them into several small pieces with a sharp knife, and let the surrounding junior high school students Free tasting.

As long as there are free things, there is no need to worry about no one wants them. Soon, more than a dozen eggs were snatched up. The people who tasted them first had already begun to discuss the two partners to buy them...

Without a plastic bag, Liu Qiang had to take a clean draft instead.

Soon, this small tea egg stall became famous in the neighborhood. Not only the junior high school students, but also the aunts in the town sometimes bought two dozen toothpaste offerings.

Every day, after returning home at night, Liu Qiang first boiled a pot full of eggs in the large pot on the stove. The next afternoon, after school, he and Ma Kai had to carry the stove to the opposite side of the middle school. Good eggs come here, and you can sell dozens or even hundreds of them in one night, but for the two children, it is really hard work...

After selling it for more than a month, someone in the town soon imitated it, and with the final exam approaching, Liu Qiang decisively stopped the business.

"Ma Kai, you can't go to bed until you write all this out today!" Liu Qiang said while tapping on the table.

"Qiangzi..." Ma Kai wailed.

After Liu Qiang liquidated the profit, he distributed 150 yuan to Ma Kai. Ma Kai was so happy that he could hardly find the north. He bought several toys that he had been thinking about for a long time in the town and showed them off in class all day long. Liu Qiang found out that this guy has hardly done his homework since he started selling eggs...

"If you fail the exam, your mother will definitely not let you live here again!" Liu Qiang said with his chin raised.

Ma Kai sat down at the small table with a bitter face...

It's just that Liu Qiang forced Ma Kai to be a good student, but he missed the first exam in his life...

Several teachers in the kindergarten knew that Li Wan had a very sensible elder brother who was in the front elementary school. Therefore, when Li Wan started crying inexplicably in the classroom, after trying various methods such as coaxing and intimidation, he was helpless. Liu Qiang was called over before the exam started.

When Liu Qiang arrived, Li Wan was out of breath from crying, but her face was pale.

"Xiao Wan, brother Qiang is here! What's wrong with you..." Liu Qiang didn't care to greet the teachers, stepped forward to pick him up, and walked outside.

"Strong...brother..." Li Wan opened his eyes and cried intermittently, his body trembling intermittently.

"Little Wan, stop crying, tell Brother Qiang what's wrong?" Liu Qiang took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped Li Wan's face.

To the surprise of the kindergarten teacher next to him, seven-year-old Liu Qiang could easily hold Li Wan with one hand.

"Dudu..." Li Wan whispered while struggling to hug Liu Qiang's neck.

Having taken Li Wan for so long, Liu Qiang knew very well that Li Wan had always been a strong child if he hadn't really suffered from some unbearable illness, but this time his stomach discomfort could make Li Wan cry endlessly...

"Teacher, I'm afraid Xiao Wan is sick, I want to take him to see a doctor!" Liu Qiang said hurriedly.

"Well, teacher, let's go with you!" The teacher surnamed Wang hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances with the other two teachers, and suggested.

"Thank you, Teacher Wang!" Liu Qiang walked out anxiously as he said that...

Liu Qiang gave up the relatively convenient and cheap township clinic and went directly to the health center in the town.

The doctor on duty asked a few simple questions, pressed on Li Wan's stomach, and suggested to check urine and blood first.

Liu Qiang immediately went to pay the fee, and coaxed Li Wan to take a small cup of urine and a small needle for blood...

While holding Li Wan and sitting in the duty room waiting for the results, Li Wan, who was exhausted from crying, fell asleep. Liu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, unbuttoned his cotton jacket and wrapped him inside. Make it as big as possible.

After about an hour, the little body in his arms became hot.

"Doctor, my brother seems to have a fever!" Liu Qiang shouted anxiously.

Hearing this, the doctor ordered a nurse to take a thermometer.

"Doctor Liu, six at 39, that child has a high fever!" Seven or eight minutes later, the nurse took out the thermometer and looked at it, and whispered to the doctor.

The doctor frowned, and had already thought of the disease that Li Wan was most likely to suffer from, "Tell them to do a blood test quickly..."

Sitting next door, Liu Qiang hugged Li Wan tightly, then slowly relaxed, his eyes were already blood red...

"Where are you adults?" The doctor and the nurse came over and asked.

"I'm Li Wan's teacher!" Teacher Wang stepped forward and replied.

"It's best to call his parents and prepare the money first. This child has acute appendicitis and must be operated on within 24 hours!" the doctor said seriously.

Teacher Wang frowned.

"Teacher, can you help me to call Xiaowan's father, can you? We live in the second group of Tengda Village, you can just ask anyone! I'm afraid Xiaowan will wake up and cry if he can't find me... ..." Liu Qiang lowered his head and said.

Teacher Wang thought about it, and finally agreed, and hurriedly borrowed a bicycle and rushed to Tengda Village...

At Liu Qiang's request, the doctor first prescribed a bottle of medicine to infuse Li Wan.

Several nurses couldn't bear to see Liu Qiang hugging a child, so they took the quilt from the empty ward and spread it on the bench in the infusion room, wanting Li Wan to lie down...
