Chapter 45

I don't know if it was Jin Nanny's nagging that played a role, or the gentle atmosphere of the Qi family's second room reassured the little guy. By dinner time, Qi Congming was no longer as flustered as he was at lunch. Although his expression was still dull, his body was relaxed. a lot.

The people in the second room were afraid that he would accidentally scratch the wound if he stayed alone, and the three people who were busy doing things every day would always separate one person to watch him.This makes rice tofu a series of preparations busy.

After dinner, it was getting dark.

The second bedroom of the Qi family was not like other farmers, they fell asleep after chatting a few words by the moonlight.They still have to prepare for the stall tomorrow, so they can only light the oil lamp extravagantly.

The oil lamp was placed on the table, and Qi Congming's expression changed.I have probably never seen the flame of an oil lamp so closely before, and my bright black eyes stared at the oil lamp curiously, reluctant to blink.

In the end, Nanny Jin coaxed him to look away and took the oil lamp off the kang table after talking nicely for a long time, fearing that he would damage his eyes by staring at the flames.

The most troublesome thing was washing before going to bed. Just looking at Qi Congming's skin, he didn't know how long he hadn't showered. The dirt and dander on his body were mixed, and the tender skin could barely see its original color.Although the peasant children of this era are not so particular, this is too much.

Qi Congming not only had the two scalds on his back, but also two scabs on his legs. When Ye Xinyan scrubbed him, he had to be careful to avoid the wounds, so the cooperation of the little guy was very important.

Fortunately, Nanny Jin's nagging for most of the day was not in vain. When Ye Xinyan wiped his body, the little guy could at least stay still, greatly reducing the difficulty of Ye Xinyan's scrubbing.

It is one thing to wash his body before going to bed, and another thing is to take him to the clinic tomorrow. A clean child can make the doctor feel good about him, and he can take care of his injuries seriously.

Ye Xinyan changed three basins of water, and the little guy's skin finally saw its true colors.

"It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, Ye Zi's hands and feet are light and she didn't wet the wound." Qi Younian was on the sidelines, anxious and unable to help. At this moment, seeing that Qi Congming had successfully bathed, he was relieved.

He said to Qi Congming in a negotiating tone: "Congming, grandpa will sleep with you outside, okay?"

Nanny Jin took Qi Younian's words, "The old man has never taken care of the child, and now he is injured again, let Congming sleep in the bedroom. Ye Xinyan and I will take care of it, it's safer."

It's a trivial matter for the little guy to sleep there, Ye Xinyan has a lot of problems with his name.

She said: "Grandpa, the name Qi Congming is his uncle's name. Let's change his name. I don't feel comfortable hearing this name. I can always think of his time at my uncle's house. Rename him , the little guy is less connected to his uncle's family."

Qi Younian thinks about it too. Of course it is better to use his own name for his own child, "Then think about it and see what name it is."

"This..." She only thought about her child's name not to follow Sanfang.As for naming, she is not good at it either.

Looking at her troubled expression, Qi Younian didn't know what she was thinking, so he couldn't help but smiled: "No hurry, there are still a few days before the formal adoption, you take your time to think about it."

"Oh..." After thinking about it slowly, I couldn't figure out what to do?She's a bad name, okay?

Looking at Qi Congming again, the little guy has encountered a lot of things today, after eating and drinking, he was wiped and tossed by Ye Xinyan, and before Nanny Jin could coax him, he fell asleep after touching the pillow.

Then don't worry, the name, as long as the literal meaning is good and it looks pleasing to the eye.My family is an ordinary farmer's family, and it's not a generation of scholars, so I don't pay much attention to it.

The next day, as usual, the second room of the Qi family put all the utensils and items from the stall on the cart early in the morning. Ye Xinyan carried the sleeping Qi Jia child into the donkey cart and let him lie in the arms of Jinmao. inside.

It's not difficult to say, when she woke up, Ye Xinyan had already thought of a name for her younger brother: Qi Jia.

She thought it was a good name, with a good meaning, and it was easy to pronounce.

By changing their mouths early, Qi Jia’s children can also adapt to the future life early, and it is easy to have a sense of belonging.It will also let Qi Yourong's family know from the name that this child has completely left the third room of his Qi family.

There were too many Qi Jias on the donkey cart who needed to protect their wounds, so there was no room left.Ye Xinyan had no choice but to follow the donkey cart and walk all the way to the county.

There was a sleeping child at the rice tofu stall today, and many regular customers asked curiously.

Nanny Jin looked at Qi Jia who was sleeping soundly on the thick quilt, her face was full of relief.

She vaguely explained to others that this child is the grandson of her father, and he was burned yesterday, so he dared not stay at home.Take it with me today, and ask the doctor to have a look after closing the stall.

What I said was all the truth, but a lot of the past and reasons were not mentioned, which saved a lot of tongue-in-cheek and trouble.

The diners listened, and each made up various versions of the plot in their brains, and discussed various reasons why children cannot be left alone at home.Then, an enthusiastic customer introduced that not far ahead, across a street, there is a medical clinic, and the doctors there are good for treating burns.

Nanny Jin quickly thanked her, and wrote down what they said about the hospital.

At the beginning of Chen Shichu, the child opened his eyes in a daze.Nanny Jin was busy with her hands, so she squinted for a while coaxing him with a gentle voice.After a while, Qi Jia woke up completely, but she didn't make any noise, she just sat up obediently and watched the three of them busy.

Gradually, the unfamiliar environment and the lively streets made Qi Jia's eyes more curious. His big eyes looked at the diners at the stall, and then at the streets on both sides, and his eyes became more and more agile.

While greeting the guests, Ye Xinyan and Qi Younian also looked after Qi Jia.The two were surprised to find that although the child was sitting still, his eyes moved flexibly, and the look in his eyes was much better than yesterday.

Taking advantage of the spare time, Nanny Jin let him drink half a bowl of water, picked up the unsalted flowers and gave him a piece.

The little guy held the flower stall and regained his timid look.

Under the constant persuasion of Jinmao, he tentatively put the flower into his mouth and took a bite, then looked at Jinmao, seeing that Jinmao was smiling and seemed very happy. chew.

Grandma Jin saw that he was eating deliciously and sweetly, and continued to work at ease, but she also felt sorry for the child. This is how much harsh treatment he has suffered, and even eating depends on the person's face.

When the rice tofu is sold out, the remaining sesame seed cakes and stall flowers will not be sold.Leaving Nanny Jin to clean up the small stall, Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan went to the medical clinic to see Qi Jia's burns.

Qi Jia's skinny bones didn't hold much weight, so Ye Xinyan simply hugged him and headed to the clinic pointed out by the diners.

Walking through a street, I saw a medical clinic with a high plaque.There are not many people seeing a doctor in the medical hall, and as soon as you enter the door, you can see the doctor sitting in the hall. He is an old man in his fifties with strong spirit.

After the two people in the front row had their pulse checked and each went to get some medicine, Ye Xinyan went up to the doctor with Qi Jia in her arms, and said simply to the doctor: "My brother's back was scalded and his skin was scratched. I didn't have time to come to the county yesterday. I just applied some ointment for the wound, but it didn’t heal today. Can you show me, what else can I do?”

As he spoke, facing the doctor's eyes, he lifted off Qi Jia's slightly baggy clothes, revealing the injury on his back.
