The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 16
Tang Mian's heart ached slightly, and he patted him gently and coaxed: "Good boy, I'm just going to make some medicine for you, and then get some water for you to take a bath. After the bath, we'll eat, and then you drink the medicine and have a good sleep." "

The little guy didn't answer, just looked at Tang Mian steadily.

Tang Mian knew that he was waiting, and that he would not let him go.However, she was not the only one in the family, so she did not dare to promise easily.

Tang Mian's hesitant look made the little guy gradually let go of his hand and closed his eyes slightly to cover the longing in his eyes.

Tang Mian suddenly felt a little sad.

"Sleep well." After saying this, he picked up a pack of medicine and hurriedly left the room.

After Tang Mian left, the little guy opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door.

Thinking of Lu Zheng and Li's reaction when they heard that he was abandoned, they felt so aggrieved that they wanted to cry. Their parents were worse than strangers' grandparents.

Auntie and the others are actually very good.

After Tang Mian left the room, he went straight to the kitchen.

"Mother." Tang Mian shouted while looking at Mrs. Li who was busy at the stove.

Mrs. Li turned her head when she heard the voice and looked at Tang Mian distressedly, "You have been running around all day. Go back to your house and rest. Mother will call you when the meal is ready."

"Mom, I'm not tired. I'll light the fire." Tang Mian walked into the kitchen and said.

Mrs. Li waved her hand, "No, the food was cooked before you got home and it will be ready soon. The hot water in the soup can is almost there. You can take it to wash the child."

Tang Mian responded: "Okay, I'll fry the medicine and go."

Li Shi paused and then realized that Tang Mian was holding a medicine bag in his hand.

"This medicine belongs to that child?"

Tang Mian nodded slightly, put the medicine bag on the table, walked to the corner, took out the small stove, put it outside the kitchen door, and then took out the earthen pot to clean it.

Mrs. Li also turned around and picked up the spatula to stir-fry the loofah. While stir-frying, she said: "He is also a poor child. Judging from his skinny appearance, he must have suffered a lot. His little face is so pale. It’s time to drink two doses of medicine to recuperate.”

Tang Mian's hand cleaning the earthen pot paused for a moment, then continued the action.

"Mian Niang, did you ask Doctor Wu to prescribe the medicine?" Ms. Li asked without looking back.

Tang Mian responded softly and put the cleaned earthen pot on the small stove.

Mrs. Li put a little salt into the pot, continued to stir-fry and said, "Did Dr. Wu tell you anything to avoid? Your father bought a piece of meat this morning, and half of it was hanging in the well. Mother wanted to take out more Make something for him to eat and give him a good supplement."

Tang Mian picked up the medicine bag and poured the medicinal materials into the earthen jar while saying, "Mom, no need. He is not in good health and it is not easy to overcome him if he eats too much."

"Yes, yes, that's right. I was so worried about him that he grew thin and forgot about it." When Mrs. Li saw that the loofah was soft, she scooped it into a bowl.

"Okay, let's do this for today. When he feels better, we'll make him a good meal."

Tang Mian closed the lid of the earthen pot and said, "Okay."

Tang Mian chose to hide the child's true condition for the time being. She wanted to talk about it after meeting Dr. Wu tomorrow.

After lighting up the fire on the small stove, Tang Mian looked at Mrs. Li and said, "Mom, I'm going to fetch water for him to bathe. You can help me keep an eye on the fire on the stove."

Mrs. Li put the scooped out loofah on the dining table, waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, Mom will watch."

Tang Mian responded, picked up the wooden bucket, scooped out the hot water, and carried it back to the room.When Tang Mian opened the door, he met a pair of dark eyes.

"Wake up." Tang Mian said softly, looking at the little guy lying on his side on the bed.The little guy's eyes moved but he didn't speak.

Tang Mian didn't care. He walked into the house with water and put it down. "Just wait a moment. I'll bring the wooden basin in and then you can wash it."

After Tang Mian finished speaking, he turned around and went out to the utility room, then returned to the room carrying the tub for bathing.

When she returned to the room, the little guy was already standing beside the barrel in an orderly manner.

Tang Mian was startled for a moment and then smiled. From the moment he was picked up until now, he only fed him some water and broke some steamed buns for him when he was in the oxcart.Unexpectedly, after resting all the way, he could stand firm even though he was weak at first.

Tang Mian placed the wooden basin on the open space in the middle of the room, lifted the wooden bucket and poured the hot water into it. Then he rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand to the little guy, "Come here, Auntie will help you take a bath."

The little guy obediently moved towards Tang Mian and blinked at her.Such a well-behaved look made Tang Mian feel happy.

"I still don't know your name after so long, can you tell aunt?" Tang Mian asked while taking off his clothes.

The little guy's eyes instantly dimmed, he lowered his head and pinched his fingers and said, "They don't want me anymore, and I don't want the name they gave me."

After speaking, he looked up at Tang Mian and asked cautiously, "Auntie, can you give me a name?"

Tang Mian paused while undressing him, and after a moment he said, "Auntie has never been to school, so she can't come up with a good name. If you are willing, I can give you a nickname."

Although a little disappointed, the little guy still nodded happily, "Yes, yes, I am willing."

Tang Mian thought for a while and said, "My nickname is Zhuangzhuang. I hope you will be healthy and strong in the future."

"Okay." Zhuangzhuang agreed happily, showing his uneven teeth.

Zhuang Zhuang's good mood directly infected Tang Mian. He smiled and hugged him into the wooden basin, and said briskly: "Zhuang Zhuang, take a nice shower!"

Zhuang Zhuang laughed happily, and his bloodless face instantly turned into a flower.

Just as she was happy, Mrs. Li knocked on the door and came in. The two of them looked at her instantly.

Mrs. Li walked into the room and put the clothes in her hands on the table. She looked at Tang Mian and said, "Your second cousin-in-law brought the clothes over. After washing them, put them on for him."

"Okay." Tang Mian responded.

Li looked at the strong little body like ribs, and felt more and more pity in her heart, "Mian Niang, be gentle when you give him a bath."

"Mom, don't worry." Tang Mian has always known that both his parents are kind people.

After hearing what Li said, Zhuangzhuang raised his little head and looked at Li with a grin.

Mrs. Li also smiled back, "Hey, this little guy is quite smart and well-behaved."

Tang Mian looked back at Zhuang Zhuang and added in his mind: He is still a vengeful person.

"Okay, let's wash him slowly. Mom will go to the kitchen and watch." Mrs. Li greeted and left the room.

Li left and Tang Mian continued what he was doing.

The warm water in the tub directly warmed Zhuang Zhuang's heart, and the smile on his face never stopped.

Tang Mian bathed Zhuang Zhuang carefully and put on the clothes that Wu had given him.

As soon as Tang Mian got dressed, he heard Lu Dashan's rough voice coming from the yard.
