[Seven-five] Sunflowers are warm

Xu Xiangyang's red and swollen eyes couldn't be concealed from others, even after hiding in the house for a long time, it might not be effective, so he had no choice but to go out like this.Crying and crying, so what if people know?What about being looked down upon?Where is anyone here waiting to see her?I'm afraid they wish she could hide in the house and cry every day. Seeing her in such a mess can only express their anger.

Finally wiped his face, blinked his sore eyes, and went to Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao was awake, reading a book by the bedside.Even though she was mentally prepared, she still didn't want him to see her cry, she lowered her head and whispered, "Master Zhan, I'll make you some medicine."

Zhan Zhao looked up from the book in surprise, why does she have a nasal voice?Looking after her eyes, she turned around and headed for the door, walked two steps and then turned back, pushed the window open, and said in a nasal voice, "I opened the window for a while to let in some air, and it will be brighter for reading." With her slightly hoarse voice, the window was opened, and the fresh air from outside poured in, and it also poured into a piece of light.Her thin body faced the light, she didn't know whether it was cold or glaring, she hesitated a little before she lowered her head and turned around to leave the room.

Zhan Zhao looked out the window, the branches outside occasionally swayed in the wind, although it wasn't a view, but it was more vivid than staring at the ceiling in a daze.Suddenly, he let out a long sigh, full of exhaustion.Thinking of Yuehua's crying in the morning, and hearing Xu Xiangyang's thick nasal voice, he simply didn't know how to face it.

As if he was just in a daze for a moment, Xu Xiangyang had already turned back, "Master Zhan, you didn't eat much at noon, I warmed up the fish soup in the kitchen, you can drink it first, the medicine will have to wait for a while."

Zhan Zhao reached out to take it, and thanked him lightly.He didn't have much contact with her before, he only felt that she was a weak woman, lonely and helpless, so he understood the compassion and brought her back.Looking at it now, she was considered careful, but he still had nowhere to judge whether she had really forgotten the past.Xu Xiangyang waited for him to finish drinking, took the empty bowl, and suddenly heard him say: "But someone is embarrassing you?"

Xu Xiangyang was startled, not understanding why he asked such a question suddenly, and then thought that his eyes swollen from crying and his thick nasal voice could not deceive anyone.Shaking her head in embarrassment, it's better not to let him know those words, since he can ask this sentence, it shows that he doesn't completely ignore her.

Zhan Zhao didn't ask further, he knew how the whole Kaifeng mansion looked at her.It's just that she is already his wife, and they will always live together in the future. Leaving aside how to live, his wife has been treated with cold eyes, and he has no face.He didn't want to say more, those bitter fruits could only be swallowed by herself and tasted slowly.If she is smart, she knows what to do.

In the evening, Mrs. Wang brought Zhan Zhao's meals.Standing aside, Xu Xiangyang was very cramped, and the embarrassment at noon was still vivid in her memory, she wished she could hide.Sister-in-law Wang looked at her swollen eyes, couldn't help giving her a glance, and said, "Master Zhan, you are injured now, you have a poor appetite, you don't eat much and you get hungry easily. The big kitchen doesn't take care of you so well, I see you Let Miss Xu take care of your diet while you recuperate."

Zhan Zhao naturally has no objection, he really doesn't eat much and gets hungry easily, the big kitchen is busy with meals from all over the Kaifeng mansion, it's really hard to spare manpower to cook a small stove for him.Xu Xiangyang's heart skipped a beat, not sure what Sister Wang meant, whether it was to guard against her or... But she still endured the heat on her face, and said: "I will definitely take good care of Master Zhan."

In front of Zhan Zhao, Sister-in-Law Wang did not embarrass her anymore, and she still remembered Wang Chao's explanation, no matter how bad Xu Xiangyang was, he was already Mrs Zhan's wife. Yes, picking things up again will only embarrass Mr. Zhan.

Sister-in-law Wang explained a few things to pay attention to in terms of diet and resigned. Xu Xiangyang sent her out, suddenly feeling a heavy burden on her shoulders.From now on, Zhan Zhao's diet will be under her control?What to do?She can't get enough of herself.Oh, let's talk.

With one more person eating, Xu Xiangyang had to find a way to make more money.Even though she could ask Zhan Zhao for money, she couldn't say anything because the words were stuck in her throat.First of all, she has a thin skin and hasn't asked anyone for money yet.Secondly, he was afraid that he would misunderstand her for plotting money again.Anyway, it's only for a while, maybe you can get through it after a while.The days finally calmed down, and she didn't want to make any more waves.

Zhan Zhao's injury has improved greatly, and Mr. Gongsun said that as long as he takes care of it carefully and doesn't tear it apart, it will be fine within three to five days.Xu Xiangyang heaved a sigh of relief, she had had enough of such a cautious life, let him get better soon.Taking care of his diet and decocting medicines took up most of her time every day, and she hardly touched her embroidery work.

Sister-in-law Wang later came to deliver the clothes again, saying that she would also be in charge of the washing and mending of Zhan Zhao's clothes.She naturally agreed, but she felt that Sister-in-law Wang's attitude had changed a bit. Didn't she wish she could stay away from Zhan Zhao?But now it seems that she intends to let her take care of Zhan Zhao's daily life.She couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only suffer silently.

After getting along like this for five or six days, she gradually got to know Zhan Zhao.He was very quiet and disliked her very much.Although there were some short and peaceful conversations, she still felt that he was very disliked by her, but he also had a little bit of protection for his wife.She thinks he must be conflicted in his heart, right?She silently did what she could, without plans or schemes, with no desires in her heart, and she was peaceful.

On this day, Mr. Gongsun gave Xu Xiangyang a jar of ointment after changing Zhan Zhao's medicine, and asked her to help Zhan Zhao apply some ointment sooner or later.Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, obviously not happy, but the injury was in the back, so that was the only way to go.Xu Xiangyang was also flustered, did he apply medicine?She blushed suddenly, the original owner caused all these troubles by crawling on the bed, she really didn't want to see Zhan Zhao take off his clothes, so as not to be confused.Besides, besides, she has never seen a man's body so closely, uh, the back...

After Mr. Gongsun left, Xu Xiangyang silently put the medicine on the cabinet, and slightly tilted his head to look at the sunlight falling from the window. It was rare today for the sunshine to be so bright, and it was so warm and pleasant.She suddenly thought that Zhan Zhao didn't seem to have bathed since he was injured, and it was difficult to get up before, even Ding Yuehua couldn't help him wipe his body.It is estimated that he himself is holding back the discomfort, but it is difficult to speak, right?Now he can get out of bed and a little grooming is no problem.

She felt relieved, with a smile on her lips, and hurried to the kitchen to boil water.There is no bathtub, so he can only scrub with two buckets of hot water. He has a back injury and cannot take a bath.After mixing the hot water, I was afraid that it would not be enough, so I added cold water to the pot and continued to boil.Then he went back to Zhan Zhao's room, took his clothes for him, and said briskly, "Master Zhan, it's warm today, and your injury is fine, so it's okay if you want to wash up. I boiled hot water, but there is no bathtub. I can wrong you to go to the kitchen to make a living, and I will help you put the clothes there first."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect her to think of these things.Since the injury, it is really hard to bear the blood and sweat.The room was always smelling of medicine, thanks to her careful opening of the windows every day to get some air.When I got out of the house, the sun was really shining outside, and it was very warm and comfortable when it fell on my body.He couldn't help squinting his eyes, and it was time to go out.

Xu Xiangyang came out of the house with a basket on his shoulders, and when he saw Zhan Zhao going to the kitchen, he finally smiled for the first time in a long time.Not for anything else, just because of my own mind to be accepted by others.Zhan Zhao remained expressionless, nodded slightly towards her, and passed her by.Xu Xiangyang suddenly remembered something, called him, and said: "Master Zhan, let me pack things later, your injury is just right, don't tear it apart." She didn't want him to hurt herself after taking a bath, so then The gain outweighs the loss.

"Thank you, miss." Zhan Zhao smiled unexpectedly, her thoughts were really delicate.

Today is probably Xu Xiangyang's best mood in a long time. Besides getting along well with Zhan Zhao, the patchwork single-room satchel she made is also very popular with shopkeeper Yao. Praise her for her dexterity.Apart from anything else, I received two packages of 120 Wen, and with the income from the handkerchief, I got a total of 150 Wen.In this way, she finally has a little more cash, at least it won't make Zhan Zhao hungry.

Because Zhan Zhao wanted to maintain his health, she had to buy some meat for soup. Fortunately, ribs were cheaper than fat meat, and he didn't eat much, so he could bear it.But she still thought in her heart that if she could cook a chicken soup, it might be better for her health, and her income is quite good today, so she might be able to spend a little.Her body is also very weak, and she wants to eat something good.

In the end, I gritted my teeth and spent nearly [-] renminbi to buy a chicken, and bargained for [-] renminbi more, and asked for two chicks, thinking that I could go back and raise them, and maybe they would be able to lay eggs when they grow up.As for feeding the chickens, maybe there will be some leftovers in the big kitchen.If it doesn't work, it can only be stewed.

After buying vegetables, she didn't forget to take care of Mrs. Lin's tofu stand.Since the last time, she has often taken care of Mrs. Lin, and the two are considered acquainted. Mrs. Lin said that she has an extra daughter.Because there were too many things to do today, she couldn't help Mrs. Lin close the stall, so she rushed back after buying a few pieces of tofu.

When she returned, Zhan Zhao had already showered, so she put the chicken in a corner, and then hurriedly tidied up the kitchen, preparing to make chicken soup.But at the end of the day, she was dumbfounded. Of course, cooking chicken soup is not a problem, but she has never killed a chicken!When I was a child, I saw my grandma kill chickens. She first plucked a pinch of hair from the neck of the chicken, and then cut the throat to let the blood out.

Swallowing his saliva, he prepared a bowl of chicken blood as he remembered, and plucked his hair boldly.The chicken screamed in pain, making her hands tremble in fright.Steady mind, thinking about these things she will have to do in the future, who else can she point to for help?Gritting his teeth, he made up his mind and quickly pulled out a piece of hair.

Zhan Zhao didn't care at first when he heard the movement outside the yard in the house, but suddenly he frowned, thinking about her delicate appearance, she doesn't seem to be good at housework, is she going to kill chickens now?When I went out to see, sure enough, she was dragging the chicken by the neck and was afraid to do it.Suddenly, his brows relaxed, maybe she was really changing.Slowly said: "I'll come."

Xu Xiangyang was startled, a little embarrassed, "Uh... I, I can do it myself, you can rest."

Without saying a word, Zhan Zhao took the chicken from her hand, grabbed the wings with one hand, fixed the head of the chicken, and picked up the scissors beside it to cut the throat.The chicken struggled a few times in his hands and then became silent. The blood slowly flowed into the bowl, gradually filling it up.Xu Xiangyang glanced at him secretly and heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he had his help.

When the blood was gone, Zhan Zhao asked: "You probably haven't done this before, take it to the kitchen and ask Mrs. Wang to clean it up." Xu Xiangyang blushed, and said: "I, I saw my mother do it when I was young, so don't worry about it. Please, Mrs. Wang."

Zhan Zhao knew her concerns, so he didn't force it, and lightly told her to be more careful.Suddenly the two chicks in the corner caught his attention, Xu Xiangyang's heart skipped a beat, and he said uneasy: "Can't you keep them? Then... just eat them in two days."

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "You can keep it if you like it." She was sleepy all day long, so it would be nice to have something to pass the time.Raising two chickens, the yard seems to be a little more lively and a little more homely.
