crossing into bastard

Sleeping in the middle of the night, my mother coughed badly. At first, my mother held it back, and then covered her mouth and coughed. Finally, she couldn't stand it any longer. When she sat up and coughed, she was almost out of breath. My sister hurriedly got up to help pat my mother's back Back, and comforted his mother on his chest, Yu Cheng got up and felt the darkness to pour water. The cold water was poured into the cup. Yu Cheng held it in the palm of his hand and held it tightly, trying to keep the water from being so cold.

After my mother stopped coughing so much, drank some water, and took a rest, the two siblings sat and had a conversation with my mother. After my mother was all right, everyone went to sleep. Not long after Yu Cheng closed his eyes, the biological clock of the past three years It's time for him to sleep, it's time to get up.

As soon as Yu Cheng moved, the elder sister heard it, raised her head and asked in a low voice: "Cheng'er, are you going to get up?"

Yu Cheng replied in a low voice: "Well, it's time to cook breakfast."

Yu Fei looked out of the window, got up and said, "Go early, I will find a way to go to the back mountain to gather some herbs today, my mother's cough has not been cured, and eating some herbs can help me sleep better at night."

Yu Cheng replied: "I'll go pick some after cooking breakfast. It won't take long. By the way, I'll see if I can find some good herbs to nourish my body."

Yu Fei worriedly warned: "Don't go for too long, the medicinal materials are not so easy to find, pick them up as soon as you see them, don't go to the mountains alone to find tonics, it's not only dangerous, but also may be discovered by others. go out."

"Sister, don't worry." Yu Cheng said confidently, "I'm the only one in the vegetable field at the back, and it's just under the back mountain. It's very convenient to go up the mountain. I'm familiar with the roads in the mountain and will be careful. "

Yu Fei lowered her face and said, "Cheng'er, yesterday I saw your face was very red and swollen. In front of your mother, my sister was embarrassed to ask, what's going on?"

Yu Cheng rubbed his still painful face and said with a smile: "It's okay, I met the crazy Seventeenth Aunt in the vegetable field yesterday, and accidentally got hit on the face by Hao, she will be fine in two days."

"Sister also heard people say that Aunt Seventeen is crazy and locked up. It was the eldest lady who ordered it herself." Yu Fei said distressedly: "I ran into her no matter what. The vegetable field has never been visited by anyone. Aunt Seventeen ran to the vegetable field, did she have some purpose?"

"It's nothing." Yu Cheng said: "Yesterday, my father wanted to welcome my concubine into the house. Aunt Seventeen was hit and ran to the vegetable field to cry. It was Cheng'er's bad luck. He just happened to meet her, so he innocently suffered from her." After beating her, she chased her into the kitchen and smashed all the food, which caused the eldest lady to get angry and ordered to lock up Aunt Seventeen."

"It's good if it's like this. My sister is really afraid that they will trouble Cheng'er." Yu Fei frowned and said, "This family is becoming more and more unbearable. The concubine just came in and asked for all the flowers in the greenhouse. For this matter, several aunts came to the greenhouse to make a fuss, and it was Da Furen who came forward, which shocked them, otherwise we don't know what will happen."

Yu Cheng asked worriedly, "Is sister okay?"

Yu Fei shook her head and said: "It's okay, they didn't make things difficult for my sister, they just make trouble every few days, no one can tell when something big will happen." Seeing Yu Cheng's calm face, Yu Fei said: "Don't talk about it, let's go to work quickly. We are living day by day now, and there is no use worrying."

Yu Cheng was relieved. Seeing that Yu Cheng's face was still swollen and ugly, Yu Fei went to bring cold water to restore Yu Cheng's face, and carefully touched Yu Cheng's face with her fingers. Yu Cheng gasped in pain. Yu Fei stopped and asked Said: "Does it hurt?"

Yu Cheng said embarrassedly: "A little bit, I'll do it myself. My sister is weak, so it's better not to touch the cold water."

Yu Cheng twisted the handkerchief by herself and stuck it on her face to remove the swelling. Yu Fei watched quietly, frowning, thinking of such a day, she couldn't help but shed tears, Yu Fei cried: "I heard the aunts making noise today, I don't mean to Among them, the aunts leaked the situation at home, and I don’t know if it’s true. Maybe something happened in the family. There is a reason why my father married a concubine, but I didn’t hear what happened. Madam has issued a strict order on this matter, anyone who speaks too much will not be able to live."

Yu Cheng's heart sank, thinking about what happened today, and thinking about the atmosphere at home recently, he always felt that something big had happened, but they didn't know anything in this backyard, they couldn't even hear the wind, and the maids were all worried. She kept her mouth shut, even the most talkative women didn't mention it, the eldest lady kept this matter very tight, the more this happened, the more disturbed Yu Cheng felt.

Yu Fei didn't wait for her younger brother to speak, and continued: "You have to be careful when walking these few days, and avoid them whenever you can. We can't afford to offend, we can always hide."

Yu Cheng said: "Listen to my sister, it's getting late, it's time to go to work, and my sister should be careful."

Yu Fei nodded and watched Yu Cheng go out with a smile. Then she got up, checked her mother, covered the quilt tightly, took the dirty clothes, closed the doors and windows, went to the nearest well to wash clothes, and when she got to the well, she saw the clothes by the well. Putting the filled water, Yu Fei smiled knowingly, knowing that it was Yu Cheng who ran over to fetch water to wash his clothes first, Yu Cheng always did this, always thinking of his sister.

After Yu Cheng finished cooking breakfast, the atmosphere in the kitchen was a bit tense. Before the concubine got up early in the morning, she ordered her servants to bring bird's nest for breakfast. As a concubine, she was the first one who dared to give such an order. Everyone in the house was worried, who would dare to take the bird's nest without the permission of the eldest lady, but the concubine ignored it and kept making noises.

After leaving the kitchen, Yucheng wiped off his sweat and hurried to see his mother. Mi Yucheng, who cooked the porridge, left the pot without washing it. An egg every morning was for his mother and sister to make up for his body. I went to ask my mother to get up, brought hot water and put it down. Seeing that my mother's complexion improved a little, Yu Cheng didn't wait for his sister to come back, so he went out with his things. Looking back, I couldn't help feeling sour in my heart, and then coughed, my face flushed red and I was out of breath.

Yu Fei heard her mother's coughing from a distance, dropped the washed clothes, and trotted over to help her, and served her a small bowl of porridge, then Yu Fei went to bring the clothes back. A few coarse linen clothes that were washed so that the original color could not be seen were dried on a rack erected with a few branches.

Yu Fei finished all the porridge she took off without wasting a single bit. She raised her delicate face, with curved eyebrows, small nose, and pink lips, with a delicate beauty on her face. Yu Cheng and Yu Fei are twins. Having a child, except for the difference in gender, can be said to grow into a child, but Yucheng has no weak beauty, and his face is full of quiet expressions, neither rush nor rush, neither shy nor noisy.

After picking the freshest vegetables, Yu Cheng carried a large bundle of vegetables to the kitchen. The cook in the kitchen stood aside and lowered her head quietly. The maids and servants stood in a row. Yu Cheng put down the vegetables and silently stepped forward The one at the back of them lowered his head, staring at his rough cloth shoes with a big hole in them.

"Listen, all of you, no one can cook for the aunts in private without the order of the eldest lady. The meals in the mansion are all made to order. Everyone comes according to the rules. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules should report Da Furen will go, Da Madam will come forward to deal with it, but you understand everything?" The person who spoke was a woman in her forties, whom Yu Cheng had met a few times, she was someone close to Da Furen, and it was said that she came here to marry with Da Furen Her maidservant is now a highly respected nanny in the mansion.

Madam Wu is very energetic and speaks forcefully. Her voice is neither high nor low, and she has the majesty of a leader. The eldest lady trusts her the most. She always follows her side on weekdays, and she will not come to the kitchen easily. Treated as an invisible person, Madam Wu scanned her eyes once, and seeing that everyone was listening carefully, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "Just do what you should do, follow the rules, you will never make mistakes, remember everything?"

"Remember." Everyone responded in unison. Madam Wu was wearing a half-new silk jacket with black embroidered red flowers on a black background, her hair was neat and neat, and her silver hairpin was neat and tidy. chin left.

The kitchen suddenly became very quiet, not daring to speak aloud. Everyone was doing their own work. Yu Cheng brought in the vegetables and put them away in different categories, and then turned to wash the dishes. After everything was done, When it was time to cook lunch, the kitchen gave way to Yu Cheng to cook. Yu Cheng was thinking about the past few days, but he didn't slow down a bit. He thought about things while doing things, but it passed quickly.

At noon, Yucheng waited in the kitchen, waiting for everyone in the kitchen to go to rest. Yucheng packed the meals and took them home. They had no rice to put into the pot at noon, so they could only eat some vegetables. The dishes were re-cooked and seasoned, and after a taste, they were not bad. At this time, Yu Fei came back a little tired. After sitting down, she still asked, "Is it safe to go up the mountain today?"

Yu Cheng said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, no one has found out. I found a few herbs in the mountains, which are usually eaten by my mother. After a while, I will go to decoct the medicine. After drinking it, my mother will not cough badly."

Yu Fei frowned and said, "Mother's illness is always getting better, so it's not an option to procrastinate like this. Now the house is in chaos, and I can't find a chance to ask for help."

"Sister went to beg Qing'er for a doctor again?" Yu Cheng asked.

Yufei sighed and said: "It's useless to ask, Qing'er said, this time everyone is living in fear, anyone who dares to disobey the rules will be punished by the eldest lady, it is said that there is a new maid who is not sensible, It was sold by the eldest lady, and where it was sold, everyone doesn't know, but they can figure it out, it's not a good place, so everyone has settled down a lot, and they don't even dare to walk around, let alone invite Such a big deal, sir."

Yu Cheng clenched his hands into fists, but said with a smile: "Then wait a while before begging Qing'er. I still have a few medicinal herbs here. When the time comes, I will give it to Qing'er as the doctor's fee."

Yu Fei nodded, and the mother just came back, her thin body was walking on the road, as if she was about to fall down at any time, Yu Cheng hurriedly got up to help her, but her mother raised her head and smiled at Yu Cheng: "Don't worry, mother is fine."

Yu Fei also got up to support her mother, and helped her to sit down together. Yu Cheng picked up the meal that had been served long ago. Yu Fei took the meal and fed her in small mouthfuls. Put on a face, mother is fine, I know my own body, and I can't fall down."

Yu Fei wiped the corner of her mother's mouth and said, "Why do you look so tired today? Is someone bullying my mother again?"

Niang shook her head and said: "No, I just finished the wedding yesterday, and today I have a lot to wash, so I'm a little tired, so I'll be fine after a little rest."

After eating the food, Yucheng went to cook medicine for his mother. Yucheng has been cooking for three years, so he knows exactly how to cook and how much herbs to put in.

After serving her mother to eat, Yufei helped her mother to lie down in the room, and then she came out to eat. Yucheng poured the medicine juice at this time, and Yufei reluctantly ate a small bowl. She cheered up and took it from Yucheng's hand. He went into the room and asked his mother to get up and drink the medicine.

After her mother finished drinking the medicine, Yu Fei dragged her feet out. Seeing Yu Cheng tidying up, she hurried forward and said, "Leave it alone, it's fine for my sister to come. You go in and look at your mother. With her by your side, your mother can also sleep more peacefully." .”

Yu Cheng said: "It's better for my sister to accompany mother, I'm used to doing these things."

The older sister refused to let Yucheng clean up, and drove Yucheng into the room. Yucheng looked at the busy figure outside the door, deeply moved, turned his head, and saw his mother lying on the bed, as if asleep, Yucheng cautiously Walked over, sat by the bed, took the beads and silk threads on the side, and made gadgets. The beads were all messy and different in size. They were the beads they picked up. Yu Chengcheng liked to play with these beads when he was free. , and there is nothing else to do here, one has to find something to do for oneself.
