Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 3 Jingjing Gets the Ancient Jade Pendant
He stayed in the bedroom without knowing that he was envied by many women in the village. He was worried that the baby would be frozen in the cold outside, so he asked his uncle and eldest son to bring them back.

She feeds the two babies at least seven times a day, and has to change their diapers. She can only sleep for three hours at night, and her eyelids are always sleepy.

There were so many pilgrims at the Taiqing Temple during the Chinese New Year before, Li Laoshi had to stay in the temple to settle accounts, and could not come back to take care of her and the children.

Fortunately, Qu Shi took good care of her and made five meals for her every day, except the two meals of chicken soup in the morning and evening, as well as pig's knuckles, fish soup, red date soup, and egg sweet wine soup, so that she had enough milk and cleaned the bedroom very well. Clean, change her clothes every two days, and take out the bedding to dry as soon as the sun comes out.

Like last time, she didn't suffer any grievances, shed a single tear, and didn't suffer from any root cause during the entire confinement.

The eldest son, Li Yunqing, seemed to have grown up overnight. He was not as naughty as before, and even helped her change diapers for her younger siblings.

She fed a pair of children, her eyes overflowing with happiness.

She kissed the pink face of her son, and hugged her daughter who smelled of milk. Facing the star-like shining innocent big eyes, she said to herself: "Baby's eyes are so bright, I will call you Jing from now on." crystal."

The long eyelashes of the baby girl's eyes blinked, revealing a loving and sweet smile. At this time, the baby boy was crying, and He Shi turned his head to look, missing the excitement in the baby girl's eyes.

It turned out that the baby girl's small body contained a soul from another world.

Her previous name was Li Jing, but she did not expect to have this name again in this life, so she was naturally excited.

In March of Yangchun, the sun was shining brightly, and the spring breeze gently blew over the colorful mountains and green rice fields, bringing the faint fragrance of wild flowers and green grass into Qujia Village.

The three zhang-tall orange trees in the courtyard of the Li family are full of green leaves, full of vitality, and the two-zhang pear tree is hung with pear blossoms that are white and fragrant, attracting more than a dozen bees to fly up and down. Gather honey.

A dozen cucumbers, loofahs, pumpkins, and winter melons set up shelves in the two mud fields next to the Qingshi path. The green leaves are dotted with green and tender branches. Chives, red peppers, and green rapeseed are ripe and waiting for the owner to pick them.

The most eye-catching thing is that there are six blue and white porcelain flower pots under the eaves, in which are planted camellia with big red flowers, crabapple with deep red flowers, and winter jasmine with bright yellow flowers.

The strong smell of food wafted from the kitchen, and Qu Shi was busy preparing lunch in front of the stove.

The door of the hall was wide open, and there were two wooden cradles beside the door, inside which lay Li Yunxiao and Li Jingjing, who were wearing red thin spring clothes for almost a hundred days.

He Shi has been out of confinement for a long time, sitting on a wooden chair beside a pair of baby's prams, his pale face was full of tiredness, he couldn't help stretching out his hands and yawning, being illuminated by the warm sunlight, Unknowingly fell asleep.

Li Yunqing came over on tiptoe, stood beside the cradle and whispered: "Brother, if only you behaved like my sister. You see, mother is exhausted from taking you."

Little did he know that he was as naughty as his brother when he was a baby.

Li Qubing's pretty and delicate face frowned, shook his head and said, "Little nephew, you woke me up again in the middle of the night last night by crying so loudly."

Li Jingjing pretended to be sleeping, smelled the faint fragrance of flowers, felt the coolness on her cheeks, opened her eyes and looked, Li Yunqing smiled and gently placed a few pear blossom petals on her small face.

A small bee smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and swooped down from the sky in a dizzy manner. Just as it landed on Li Jingjing's face, Li Yunqing nimbly stretched out his hand and slapped it into the air, whispering: "It's dangerous. The bee was almost Stung my sister."

Li Qubing was fishing in the ditch last summer, and was stung by a wasp with a big bump on his thigh. The pain lasted for a long time, and he took half a month to go down.

He was most afraid of bees, and when he saw the little bees rushing towards him, he was so scared that he took a few steps back and shouted loudly: "Qingyazi, save me!"

Li Yunqing hurried over to help the little uncle beat the bees away.

He Shi woke up from the dream, looked at the two babies for the first time, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing was wrong.

Babies are most likely to get sick and die before they are three years old. The two babies are her heart and soul, so taking care of them is extremely cautious.

Qu's dark-skinned face had a loving smile on his face, and he walked briskly. He carried two plates of food and walked to the main room, and said to Li Qubing's uncle and nephew who was stomping on the "corpse" of ants: "It's time to eat, help serve the meal." .”

He Shi has long smelled the aroma of the food. Looking at the attractively colored fried bacon with cucumber, stir-fried vegetable moss, fried egg with spring onion, and tofu soup on the table, his stomach growled, and he wanted to stretch out a hand to grab the vegetables. .

Qu said thoughtfully: "Sister Yi is going to eat. I'll take care of Xiaoyazi and Jing."

She had given birth to two children, so she knew that breastfeeding women get hungry quickly.

These days, no matter if Li Lao is really there or not, Qu Shi will let He Shi eat at the table first.

"Thank you, mother." He sat down and ate three bowls of rice in a row, and another bowl of soup. When he was full, he came to exchange for Qu Shi.

After the family finished their lunch, Qu went to wash the dishes and shabu-shabu, took a nap for half an hour at noon, got up to do embroidery and summer clothes, cooked a bowl of minced meat, soup, rice and tofu for He's dinner in the middle, and made dinner before dusk. It was a busy day. It flies by.

In a blink of an eye, the two babies passed a hundred days, the weather entered early summer, and after the lively Dragon Boat Festival, there was a light rain one night, and at dawn the next day, Li Laoshi hurried home with a wheelbarrow full of items.

He came back once before the Dragon Boat Festival, and He Shi didn't expect to come back only a few days later. He was pleasantly relieved of fatigue, and hugged Li Jingjing who was hoarse and hoarse, and came forward.

Li Laoshi took the very well-behaved Li Jingjing, smiled and rubbed her forehead lightly on the tip of her nose, and asked with a smile, "Does Miss Jing miss her father?"

Li Jingjing looked at the young and energetic Daddy, her toothless mouth slightly opened to reveal a trademark cute smile.

Li Laoshi held Li Jingjing in his arms and invited Qu Shi into the bedroom, and said in a low voice: "Mother, Dad asked someone to bring me a letter and a brocade box. The letter said that there are 300 taels of silver in the brocade box for you, one Give the jade pendant to sister Jing."

In the past, He had to read the letters his father wrote to him, but since he can read, he can understand them by himself.

Qu's eyes brightened instantly, and he said excitedly, "Did your father say when he will be back?"

Li honestly said: "Father said that he was going to visit Xiaoyazi and Jingmeizi this year, but there are too many things to do in the shop."

Qu Shi couldn't hide his disappointment, his eyes were a little dull, and he murmured: "I won't come back again. Well, as long as your father is safe."

Li Laoshi held Li Jingjing in his left hand, took out the bank note from his jacket pocket with his right hand, and said cautiously: "Mother, this is the bank note, please keep it."

Qu counted the silver bills carefully, there were six in total, plus the silver brought in earlier, it was 700 taels, enough for a family to live for a lifetime.

She put the cash back into the iron box under the bed, and her eyes regained their luster.
