The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 29 Settlement

After the medicine was cooked, Li Yan carefully fed a bowl full of medicine to her grandfather. Maybe the medicine was effective, and Li Zhong woke up after only half a stick of incense.

Seeing Mo Yan, Li Zhong was very excited and struggled to get up, but Mo Yan stopped him.

“Grandpa Li, don’t be impatient. Lie down and rest for a while. If anything happens, we’ll talk about it when we get home.”

Li Zhong had no strength and had to lie down, with a look of shame on his face: "Again, I've troubled Miss Mo again!"

Mo Yan shook her head: "Grandpa Li, our two families share a common bond of adversity, so you don't have to keep it a secret! It's just for the sake of Yanzi, so you have to take more care."

Li Zhong nodded with red eyes. When he saw his granddaughter beside him who was crying tears of joy, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Good boy, grandpa is fine, don't cry!"

The two men talked quietly, and Mo Yan quietly left the hospital and went to the street to hail a carriage. The medical center is some distance from home, and Grandpa Li is weak and obviously cannot walk long distances.

 After paying for the consultation and medicine, Mo Yan and Li Yan helped Li Zhong get into the carriage and returned home together.

Xin'er and Zhen'er were very happy when they saw Grandpa Li and Sister Yanzi whom they hadn't seen for a long time. They knew that Grandpa Li was sick and needed to rest, so they were sensible enough not to speak louder.

There were only two rooms and two beds in the house, so Mo Yan had to temporarily arrange Li Zhong in the big room of his father and brother. He planned to have dinner in the afternoon and then go to the market to buy beds and quilts.

Li Zhong was lying on the bed. When he saw a desk, bookshelf, etc. beside the bed, he knew that this was the room where the head of the family, Mo Qingze, lived. Now he was lying on the bed of the master's house, feeling very uneasy.

“Miss Mo, we have already troubled you enough. Just give us a place to keep out the rain.”

“Grandpa Li, you can live in peace, we will add a bed later and you can live in it.”

Mo Yan couldn't see what the old man was thinking. There were only two rooms in the house. There was a small utility room in the yard, but it was narrow and dark and not suitable for patients to live in. She never thought of leaving the person in the utility room. between things. The master bedroom is relatively spacious. If I buy a bed and place it in the west window, and then draw a curtain in the middle, it won't be too much of a hindrance.

Seeing Mo Yan's resolute attitude, Li Zhong couldn't say anything else. He felt grateful and ashamed at the same time. He unconsciously thought of his daughter whose whereabouts were unknown, and he didn't know if he would meet a kind person to take her in. For a while, he burst into tears and felt sad. I can't help myself.

Mo Yan and Li Yan watched with fear, fearing that his mood would fluctuate too much and his condition would worsen again. The two comforted him for a while before Li Zhong slowly calmed down. However, Mo Yan knew that this was only temporary and they would not be able to find their daughter for a day. Li Xiu, the old man will never be truly happy for a day.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Yan asked Li Yan and Zhen'er to stay with the old man and talk to relieve their boredom. He took Xiner to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Thinking that the Li family's ancestors and grandson had not had a full meal for more than half a month, and their stomachs must be very weak at this time, Mo Yan planned to make easy-to-digest noodles and corn cakes.

There was still half of the chicken soup stewed last night. Mo Yan was worried that it would go bad overnight, so he hung it in the well and froze it. Now he was taking it out to make the soup base for noodles.

Pour the amount of flour for four people into a pottery basin, add water and mix it with chopsticks, then set it aside to let the dough rise. Mo Yan took out another pottery pot and took out corn flour, a small amount of flour, added water and kneaded the dough until the corn flour had become sticky. Finally, it was made into thin round cakes.

At this time, the gnocchi had also woken up. Mo Yan poured the chicken soup into the inner pot and asked Xin'er to light a fire. After the cooking pot was hot, he put in oil and started frying the corn tortillas. The corn tortillas had just been baked on one side, and the soup in the pot was boiling. She poured the gnocchi into the pot, stirred it with chopsticks, then covered the pot and left it alone. When the gnocchi was cooked, the corn tortillas were also boiling. All baked.

 Mo Yan's homemade braised pork with soy sauce was stir-fried with rice, and a refreshing candied tomato dish was served. After the food was served, Mo Yan and Li Yan helped Li Zhong get out of bed and asked him to sit with them.

Although the food was simple, Li Zhong had lived a long time and had experienced a lot of ups and downs in the world. How could he not see Mo Yan's true intentions? He was even more moved in his heart. He only blamed himself for not living up to expectations and adding food to the Mo family with his granddaughter. Too much trouble.

The noodles and corn flour are both made from space-produced raw materials, and coupled with Mo Yan's exquisite cooking skills, the taste is extraordinary. Li Zhong, who didn't have much appetite at first, only felt hungrier as he ate. If he hadn't known that his stomach was weak, he wouldn't be able to eat it all at once. If you eat too much, you may be able to eat two more bowls.

The same was true for Li Yan. It was only after her grandfather reminded her that she reluctantly put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Mo Yan felt a little more relieved when she saw that Grandpa Li had an appetite to eat. As long as he could eat and untie his knot, his body would recover sooner or later.

After eating and helping her grandfather to go to bed, Li Yan rushed to wash the dishes and clean the house. Mo Yan knew that if she was not allowed to do things, she would be even more uneasy, so she did not refuse. She asked the two little guys to talk to Li Zhong. She went back to her room to get the money, and then went out to buy beds and quilts on the street.

Beds in this era were all made of solid wood. After being coated with tung oil to be waterproof and insect-proof, they were very durable. Because they were for his father and younger brother, Mo Yan didn't choose the fancy ones, so he spent a tael of silver to buy a slightly cheaper one. Ordered a big bed.

Stores in the city will deliver goods to your door for free. Mo Yan gave her the address and went to the store to buy a quilt. It was already the beginning of autumn, and the weather was getting cooler day by day. As expected, the price of quilts had increased. The previous one was a new quilt. A bed made of old cotton quilt only cost 850 taels of silver, but now it costs one tael of silver.

After a while of haggling, and considering that he had bought two quilts before, the two quilts cost 950 yuan. Mo Yan asked the clerk to deliver the quilts to his door. Seeing that he was a regular customer, the clerk readily agreed.

Mo Yan touched the remaining coins in her purse and sighed helplessly. The more than two taels of silver she earned from selling eggs in half a month was almost all spent. Fortunately, she was getting money every day, so she didn't have to worry about money for the time being. nervous.

Go to the cloth store and buy a piece of coarse cotton to make a curtain. All the copper coins he had were spent. Mo Yan hugged the cloth and returned home contentedly.

 When Mo Qingze returned home at night and learned about the unfortunate experience of the Li family, he felt sad in his heart. He praised Mo Yan for doing the right thing in bringing the people home, without any sign of reluctance on his face.

Seeing that the head of the family didn't mind, Li Zhong and his grandson completely put aside their last worries and settled down with peace of mind. However, they both swore in their hearts that they would repay the Mo family's kindness in the future.

Mo Yan, who went to work in the space at night, unexpectedly discovered that there were two more red lines on the transparent beads...
