Seed dealers in ancient times

As night fell, Chu Xian's cough became more severe, one after another, his face became more and more pale, and his condition seemed to be worse than during the day.

After autumn, it was cold every day. Chu Xian's body was weak, and she was most afraid of the cold. A few days ago, she caught a little bit of wind and cold. In the past two days, she not only coughed, but also felt very weak.

Although he is not feeling well from time to time, he still has to take care of the big and small things in the house. It's okay to be tired, but he is the only one living in the house, and there are no one in the three or two rooms. Apart from his coughing, he couldn't hear any sound anymore. These hours inevitably make people feel desolate, and the life is somewhat meaningless.

Fang entered the late autumn, he bought some charcoal fire early, and put some in the stove at night, so that the house can be warmer and more popular, and it is also convenient to simmer medicine, so he can only make up for it from these foreign things. Empty heart.

The charcoal fire in the stove was glowing red, he was pinching the lid of the medicine jar with his pale fingers, and holding a long-handled ladle in the other hand, stirring the soup medicine every now and then, thinking about what to eat to fill his stomach tonight, Otherwise, just drinking the medicine, the taste of the medicine can accompany him until tomorrow morning, it is really uncomfortable, but the meal made yesterday has already been eaten, if you want to eat, you have to cook it again, and you can't reheat the leftovers for convenience Eat leftovers.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard: "Brother Xian, Brother Xian? Are you in the house?"

He heard carefully that it was Aunt Zou next door, and hurriedly put down the things in his hand to open the door, but he turned around in the back room a few times, flipped through two pages of the book, it was already dark outside, and the rain stopped at that moment.

"Ma'am, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Zou Yun looked at the glamorous little brother who came to open the door, he was still wearing some heaters, and couldn't stop the smile on his face: "Look, have you eaten yet?"

Chu Xian's heart warmed up, but she didn't hide it from Zou Yun: "Not yet."

"Today you delivered things home again, you child, you only care about others and don't think much about yourself." Zou Yun said: "The food is ready at home, let's go and eat together."

Chu Xian was a little surprised that Zou Yun invited him over for dinner. Although the two families were close and often came and went, they had never had dinner together because of Zheng Jiangting. He was surprised how Zou Yun was so polite to him today. Even so, he still said: "No ma'am, I've already heated up the food."

Zou Yun knew Brother Xian's embarrassment, and said softly: "The price of fish is also high. There is no reason why you can't eat the fish you bought. Besides, it was Jiang Ting who asked the aunt to call you .”

"Brother Zheng?" Chu Xian frowned, obviously not believing it.

Zou Yun stepped forward to hold Chu Xian's wrist, and said comfortingly, "Yes, Madam can still lie to you, go away, I'll wait for you."

Chu Xian was pulled by Zou Yun, and her body was a little stiff. Although her steps were moving, her brows were unconsciously congealed: "Ma'am...you..."

While speaking hesitatingly, the person had already entered the gate of the courtyard, so Chu Xian had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Zou Yun into the Zheng family hall which was lit with warm yellow candles.

Zheng Jiang stopped seeing someone, so he glanced at Chu Xian hurriedly. At this moment, the boy was not covered with a veil, and his entire face fell into his eyes. As expected, it was a beautiful face.

He avoided his gaze, pulled the stool away and said, "Don't just stand, sit down and eat while it's hot."

Chu Xian's eyes were lightly raised, and seeing his attitude, he really didn't intend to resist, and he didn't know how Aunt Zou persuaded people, but he didn't go into it, because the fish on the table was so delicious that it was so delicious at noon. There were a lot of guests during the month fast, he played the piano to earn rewards, ate steamed buns to fill his stomach hastily, and smelled bitter herbs for a long time at night, and now he was touched by the smell of fish, and the gluttons were teased out.

The three sat down one after another, and couldn't help but start to look forward to the taste of pickled fish. A mouthful of tofu soaked in fish fragrance was tender and delicious, and the fish was neutralized by pickled cabbage and tofu. It was not fishy but fragrant. For those who are addicted to meat, it is simply appetizing!

A pot of fish tasted extraordinarily refreshing, Zou Yun was surprised and amazed, but he didn't know that his son had such a skill.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and in the blissful silence, Chu Xian's sudden cough broke the silence.

Zheng Jiang stopped to put down his chopsticks, and watched the boy bend his head and cough, with one hand on his chest, his whole body was pulled and trembled by the discomfort in his throat, and the black hair hanging down his shoulders slid down, revealing a section of his slender body. With a fair neck, Zou Yun hurried forward to give him a smooth back.

When Chu Xian sat up straight again, she was panting unevenly. Due to coughing, there was a little mist in her eyes. The face that made people unable to look away was less charming and more distressing. Weakness.

"Brother Xian, your cough is getting worse again, did you ask Dr. Xu to have a look?"

Chu Xian waved her hand: "Look, it's okay, it's just a little typhoid fever, and coughing is an old problem."

While the two were talking, Zheng Jiangting suddenly got up and walked towards the kitchen. When Chu Xian raised his head, he only saw a figure leaving in a hurry.

He twitched his brows, although his sick man did not suffer from any contagious disease, but he still cared a lot. Who would be happy to eat at the same table with a sick man? If he gets bad luck, people he doesn't know well will stay away from him, and sometimes neighbors will avoid him. Over the years, only Aunt Zou is not shy.

He tilted his head and glanced at Zou Yun, his eyes were quite apologetic, it was supposed to be a good meal for mother and son, but in the end he messed it up.Zou Yun was thinking about how to smooth things over when he saw Zheng Jiangting's tall shadow returning to the main room. At the same time, there was a cup of hot water in front of Chu Xian's seat.

Chu Xian looked at the steaming cup and hesitated for a moment.

Zheng Jiang paused and said, "Drink some hot water slowly. I like to cough and cook some pears with rock sugar."

Chu Xian was quite flattered, but she didn't know what to say, so she nodded dully.

With a smile in his eyes, Zou Yun picked a piece of fish into Chu Xian's bowl: "Eat more, Jiang Ting's cooking skills are better than aunt's."

Chu Xian felt warm and surprised: "Brother Zheng did this?"

Zheng Jiangting played sloppy eyes: "Do whatever you want, eat more if you still like your appetite."

Chu Xian smiled gently: "Brother Zheng has such a skill, if you find a restaurant to be a cook, it will be a good job."

The speaker may be flattering, but the listener has intentions. Zheng Jiang stopped thinking that now that his body is not fully recovered, the peddler will travel all over the world to do business. Rides, but how can a peddler who wants to support his family be able to sit on these, even if the travel expenses are included, it is good if he can not lose money, and the peddler does business with his feet.

Now it’s almost winter again, although this year’s festival is the best time for shopkeepers to earn money, but his body does not allow it, and Zou Yun must not rest assured that he will continue to be a shopkeeper at this time, and in the long run, find an errand in the city first. is the safest.

He promised: "Then I'll walk around the city tomorrow and see if I can find a suitable job."

Chu Xian didn't expect that he was really interested, and said, "Fu Yuezhai has just left a cook recently, Brother Zheng might as well try it."

Zheng Jiang nodded his head: "Okay."

Seeing that his son was going out to look for errands, Zou Yun was naturally happy in his heart. Although he was worried about his body, he also knew that a big man couldn't be idle at home, and he was looking for work in the city, so he was more or less comforted. .

The three of them had a very harmonious meal. After the meal, it was getting late. Zou Yun sent Chu Xian out, and Zheng Jiangting packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen.

The three of them can eat quite well, there is nothing left in the pot of fish, but there is still a lot of fish soup. Get up early in the morning and order some noodles, and you can eat fish soup noodles happily, and then go out to look for it. Errands.

After washing the dishes, Zou Yun had already returned, and the mother and son cleaned up in front of the stove for a while, boiling hot water to wash.

Zou Yun took the initiative to ask about the fact that Zheng Jiang stopped talking about borrowing money today. In fact, since her son woke up, many details have changed, and today's change is the most obvious. She always feels that his son is sensible for a while. He grew up a lot and really grew into a man.

Zheng Jiang paused and said: "I also made friends with two brothers when I sold the goods before. They knew my current difficulties, and one of them lent me some money, and they were not in a hurry to pay me back. The debt is paid back, and when the time comes, I will find an errand and return the money to my brother."

Zou Yun was silent for a moment, Zheng Jiang stopped what he said was also reasonable. Nowadays, he owes some money to this shop, and some money to that shop. When he comes back from work, he is always stopped and nagged by the shopkeeper. After a long time, he will not pay it back, losing his credibility. Not to mention, the rumors outside are also ugly.

She counted carefully with her fingers, and said to Zheng Jiangting one by one: "Doctor Wang owes fifteen Wen for the consultation fee, Wang's oil shop owes thirty Wen, and the other big one is Xu. The doctor is there, and you can get medicine and see a doctor, and there is three silver coins."

After hesitating for a moment, she said again: "However, Brother Xian helped to settle the three renminbi. Mother didn't tell you that you were sick earlier."

Zheng Jiang took a deep breath, this little boy, the original body treats him so well, his heart is still so kind, even if his health is not good, he doesn't know how to think about himself, even if he can earn money, it's not such a waste of.

"It's not easy for Brother Xian to be alone. He has helped our family a lot these years. Mother will take the money and return it to him first." Wearing a string of one hundred wen, there are six strings in total: "After paying off the bill, I will keep the rest of the money, and the family needs to use it for expenses. I will find a way to repay the money I borrowed, so don't worry about it, mother. "

Although it seemed that it was too easy to borrow money, seeing her son's firm eyes and tone, she felt inexplicably at ease. After all, it was impossible for her to steal it: "Okay, mother listens to you, just do as you want." Do it according to your arrangement. Now that you are older, you should be in charge of the family affairs. "

"Don't worry, mother. I will bear the burden of the family from now on. You should worry less and take care of yourself. After walking through the gate of hell, I want to understand many things."

For so many days, Zheng Jiangting, who took care of Zou Yun, has seen it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. Since he has already occupied this body and gained the benefit of rebirth, he naturally has to take on the responsibility of his original body.Although the current life is difficult, but he is good at his hands and feet, and he has space, so he still doesn't believe that he can't live a good life.

Zou Yunhong nodded deeply, "Mother will be fine, but she will take care of her grandson in the future."

Zheng Jiangting was speechless for a moment, and said: "It's not urgent, I'm going to wash up first, and I'll go out to have a look tomorrow morning."
