Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 32
night.

Gu Yingying cooks and entertains the folks who came back from the fields to help harvest the rice.

After Xu Xinlan had eaten, he still asked her to help Niu Shi and Xing Ya'er each with some food.

Among them, one was injured and the other was still young.She couldn't bear to see them eating badly.

But Xu Xinlan shook her head, "I won't go."

"You just drop by the way when you get home, and you don't have to make a detour, so I just help out." Gu Yingying begged with a smile.

The two were talking about this in the kitchen, when Mrs. Zhou came in, pointed to the food box that Gu Yingying was holding and asked, "Ying'er, are you going to ask Xinlan to deliver food to Mrs. Niu?"

"Yes, Aunt Xu." Gu Yingying looked delighted, thinking that sister Xinlan was unwilling to help deliver, so she asked her mother to help.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said:
"Your family is harvesting rice. Besides their Luo family, who hasn't come to help? Even Mr. Guo, who has only two elderly people in the family, and sister Feng, who has been widowed for many years, rushed over early in the morning. Help, I don’t go back until it’s dark. But who has seen the Luo family come?”

Gu Yingying didn't blame Niu Shi, and of course she didn't want Jia Shi to come.

"So many folks have come to help, there are not a few of them missing."

It's hard to say, that guy from Jia's family and that from Niu's family are still in jail.

Mrs. Zhou saw Gu Yingying's thoughts at a glance, and said:
"Even if Dalang and Erlang are locked up, how many people in their family can work?"

She felt aggrieved for Gu Yingying:
"None of them came. You are kind-hearted, and you are afraid that they have nothing to eat."

Gu Yingying said softly: "But Niu and Xingya are innocent. No matter what, they have helped me."

Zhou still didn't agree.But together with her daughter, she helped Gu Yingying wash the dishes and boiled a pot of hot water before leaving their house.

When there were only Gu Yingying and Zhu Shi in the kitchen, she begged Zhu Shi to bring her some food.

Who knows that Zhu Shi is not happy either.

"Although I don't have as many things to do as you, I also got up early and felt sleepy, so I wanted to take a shower and rest earlier. If you want to send it off, I will deliver it for you when I am free tomorrow."

Zhu Shi yawned, stood up, picked up the gourd water ladle to scoop water, filled a bucket, and asked Gu Yingying to send it to her mother-in-law.

Gu Yingying complied naturally.

"Sister, I'm really not talking about you. Before the second uncle was at home, we boiled water, and we had to boil an extra pot of hot water. Now it's all right, the second uncle went to Fucheng to stay in a hotel, and he won't be back for a few days. It's hard for us You can do less work, but you are still in a hurry to deliver food to Niu Shi and the others. You, you can do good things."

Hearing what the second sister-in-law said, Gu Yingying couldn't go back to the topic, if she didn't want to give it away, she wouldn't.

But I don't think it's a good thing that the second uncle is not at home.

She and the second sister-in-law felt relieved and could do less.But as far as the family is concerned, there are more expenses.

I really don't understand what the second uncle is thinking, he doesn't go out to stay in the inn early, and he doesn't go out to stay in the evening, but he ran out just when everyone couldn't leave the village.

Staying outside for a day, the accommodation fee, the meal fee, are all in silver.

"Forget it, let's not mention the second uncle." Gu Yingying was also tired, and brought a bucket of hot water to her mother.When I went back to the stove house, I filled a bucket of hot water for myself, carried it to my room, and went to take a bath.

The next day.

Gu Yingying prepared a few tables of good dishes, and just after serving them, she saw Mrs. Niu standing outside the door of the main room.

Niu was wearing shabby blue coarse cloth clothes, blue trousers and black cloth shoes.She was holding a bamboo basket in her hand, which contained the teapot and porcelain bowls that she had sent yesterday.

Seeing her, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and said softly:

"I should have come yesterday, but something was delayed and I didn't come. No, I came here early this morning. I can't do much work, but it's okay to help with cooking. "

Gu Yingying hurried forward, took the bamboo basket Niu was carrying, and took Niu into the compartment for dinner.

She herself ate in the kitchen with her second sister-in-law, mainly because there were too many people, and she was afraid that it would be too crowded to eat in the cubicle.

After a while, Xu Xinlan also came to the kitchen, saying that she was full and came to sit for a while.As soon as he came, he sat next to Gu Yingying and said to her:
"Look, you asked me to deliver food to Niu Shi and Xing Ya'er last night, thanks to me for not delivering it, right?"

Gu Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, if she had known that Niu would come over, she really didn't need to give it away.

It's just that she was also curious, how could those people in the Luo family be willing to let Niu come over to help after one night?

Before asking, I heard Xu Xinlan say:

"Oh, don't think that Niu's family is willing to let her come to help. Humph, to be honest with you, if my uncle and grandpa hadn't been to Luo's house last night and told Jia's father-in-law,' The folks in the village can really do it without helping to collect some rice. In this way, we don’t have to help your family in whatever you do in the future.'..."

After hearing this, Gu Yingying learned the real answer. It turned out that Xu Tai's old Lizheng told the people of Luo's family.

That is to say, how could those members of the Luo family suddenly become enthusiastic and willing to help.

Although it was said that Mrs. Niu came to help with the cooking, Gu Yingying and Mrs. Zhu did not go to work in the fields.It's not that they are worried about Niu, but that they don't dare to trust Niu's sister-in-law, Jia.

They were afraid that as soon as she and the second sister-in-law went out to do errands, Mrs. Jia would follow and add something unclean to the food, and they would not know in time.

That would be troublesome.

In the memory left to her by the original owner, Jia went to a neighbor to help cook rice, and packed some cooked fresh rice in a cloth bag.While the others were not paying attention, he mixed in some rancid rice that she brought from home.

As a result, Jia Shi put the fresh rice into a cloth bag, put it in his bosom, and brought it home.

On the other side, a few folks who ate some bad-tasting rice were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. No matter who does something bad, it may be spread.

Jay is no exception.

Within a few days, one of Jia's neighbors spread the news that Jia's use of rotten rice made the villagers eat up their stomachs.

Since then, not many people have dared to ask Jia Shi to help with cooking.

She had a feud with Jia, so she dared not invite her.Even if Jia's relatives were here to help, she had to be on guard. What if Jia came here to harm someone while they were away?

Mrs. Niu was very diligent in doing things, either helping Gu Yingying to wash the vegetables, or helping Mrs. Zhu to carry firewood, anyway, she didn't want to be idle for a moment.

When Gu Yingying prepared the tea and was about to go out to deliver the tea, Niu put down the tongs and hurriedly said, "I'll deliver it."

Gu Yingying smiled and said: "You can rest for a while, so you can talk to my second sister-in-law for a while. I'm not far from here, and I'll be back soon."

Niu curled his lips in embarrassment, hesitated for a while, and then asked Gu Yingying:
"You are kind to me and asked Xinlan to bring me ointment and sugar water. Do you want to borrow food from our family?"

　I wish you a nice weekend.
