The cook is very busy

Chapter 7
The next day, Jia Shouwang did not go to the town, but went to the next village to invite the big doctor who had been treating Ziqing all the year round. He took Ziqing's pulse and said that her illness was almost recovered, and he only needed to drink a few more medicines. Just make up for it.

After hearing what the big man said, one head became two big, and she still needs to drink a few cups. She has only been slow for two days, and her tongue finally regained some feeling, and she has to destroy it again. Here it is.

However, Jia Shouwang and Mrs. Zhao were very happy, nodding and bowing, he sent the eldest gentleman out, said a lot of good things, and gave dozens of coins.

For the next few days, Qing kept Mrs. Zhao at home to take care of her health, pouring two bowls of medicine a day, and Jia Shouwang stayed at home when she couldn't get out of the stall, and only went out to get medicine for her daughter.

Ziqing thought that she might have bluffed her father that day. The old couple have been guarding her every step of the way these days. After all, a dozen tonics cost a lot of money. The old couple must be afraid that she will think wildly again Only at home with her.

And in order to make the old couple feel at ease, she also wanted to move out of the house earlier, try to stay cheerful, smile at the sky, and even drink medicine.

Not to mention, this really reassured the old couple.

Today, the old couple asked Ziqing to stay at home, and then went to the next door to let Mrs. Zhang come and sit down at noon, chatting with Ziqing for a while to relieve boredom.

But Ziqing waited at home until the second half of the day, but she didn't see Mrs. Zhang coming, so she went by herself. Just in time for two aunts and aunts to come out of her yard, she slowed down and watched them go. went in.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm really tired today, this basket is yours tomorrow... Yo, it's you, Sister Qing."

Just as Mrs. Zhang picked up the bowl and took a sip of water, she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone approaching the door again, and hurriedly waved her hands to evade it, but when she turned around and saw that it was Ziqing, she hurriedly let her in again.

"Sister, come, come, sit here... Sister-in-law is busy all day, and she has to rush out with two baskets at noon, so don't go to the house to chat with you. Don't blame sister-in-law."

"It's nothing, second cousin, I know you're busy, so I came here by myself." Ziqing sat on the small stool Mrs. Zhang brought for her, and glanced at the room, "My second cousin?"

Mrs. Zhang went to the main room and poured out a bowl of water, and smiled, "The bamboo skins at home are not enough, your brother has gone to the mountain to chop bamboo."

Ziqing took the bowl and smiled, "Second Cousin Sister-in-Law, I think you've made rounds for baskets in our village these two days."

Mrs. Zhang sat across from Ziqing with a bamboo slab in her arms, grabbed a piece of bamboo from the pile of bamboo pieces at her feet, and wove it down. It's just convenient.

Ziqing smiled again, watching Zhang's actions and didn't speak, thinking to wait until she finished making up this one.

However, Mrs. Zhang seemed to be thinking of something, but she stopped and looked at Ziqing, "Sister, your brother is going to the town tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Tell your sister-in-law what you want, and your sister-in-law asked your brother to bring it, so you can be regarded as a sister-in-law." I gave it to you with your brother."

Seeing the doubts on Ziqing's face, Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, thanks to Ziqing telling her to prepare some baskets that day, or if Mrs. Chen came over and couldn't find them here, so she went out and yelled, what else? The mother-in-law looked elsewhere.

Seeing what she said, Ziqing understood most of it in her heart. She knew what Mrs. Zhang was like. At best, it was a way of repaying kindness. , Ziqing still remembers her reaction at that time.

But now Mrs. Zhang has changed the way of saying it, she just wants to speak first by herself, and she will have nothing to say in the future.

But since Mrs. Zhang thinks this is good, it is better for her to accept this feeling than to say it by herself.

Ziqing and Zhang said a few words, "Second Cousin, actually I don't need anything, it's just that Tian Fang stays at home and my bones are crisp, if you rush to town tomorrow, you can take me with you." .”

Mrs. Zhang wanted to tease her when she heard it, but then she thought that sister Qing was not married yet, so she swallowed the dirty words again, and only asked her what she was doing in the town?
Ziqing only said that she had heard people talk about how lively the town was, and she just wanted to see it. After all these years, she hadn't even been to the entrance of the village.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Ziqing and smiled, and didn't speak for a while, thinking that it would be okay to take her around the town, even if she paid back the favor, it would be a good deal, but I still have to go through with my second uncle and aunt about this matter. Damn, if you take Qingmeizi out behind the back of the elders, won't she be blamed for some bumps and bumps? You must know that Qingmeizi is very precious in the eyes of the elders!
Ziqing waited, then asked, "How about the second cousin, is it okay?"

Mrs. Zhang came back to her senses, looked at Ziqing and smiled again, "Why not? You have been nesting in the village since you were a child. It is time to go out. I see it this way. I will go to your house after dinner in the evening. Talk to the second uncle and the second aunt, and the second elder nodded, and you will follow me around the town."

If the second elder disagrees, then I can't blame her.

Ziqing smiled when she heard this, thanked her and stood up, but Mrs. Zhang held her back, "Hey sister, don't rush away, I still want to ask you something."

Ziqing was a little puzzled, and sat back on the chair again, "What's the matter, second cousin sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Zhang leaned forward with a pleading face, "Sister, tell my sister-in-law the truth, how did you know that someone is coming to my house to pick up baskets?"

This is the matter of co-authoring, Ziqing smiled, "What's the matter, if you know it, you will know it."

Mrs. Zhang said with a stern face, "That won't work, you have to tell me something right today, this is what I've been thinking about since I lay down late these two days, if you don't tell me I can't sleep well!"

Ziqing suddenly felt funny looking at Mrs. Zhang, seeing her eyes like that, and told her, didn't she go to wash clothes by the river a few days ago, and she didn't take the wooden tubs and buckets at home because they were a bit heavy. I went there with a bamboo basket.

That day she washed the clothes and put them in the basket, and drenched in water all the way, but the walking became easier and easier, and the clothes were almost drained when she got home.

The old women and daughter-in-laws on the road were carrying a wooden basin which was heavy by itself, and their clothes were soaked in water. The weight of the two together was enough. They saw that she was so light, so it was strange for them not to learn.

Besides, Mrs. Zhang is the one who does the best weaving work in the village, and the two of them live together. Those mothers-in-law and aunts who want to buy baskets naturally think of Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes widened, "Oh my sister, I dare to say that you are the one who greeted me for my business."

Ziqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, a rare playfulness, in fact, it was not accidental when she went to the river to find a basket, first saw her mother come back from washing clothes, carrying a wooden basin so tired that both arms could not be lifted So, she told her mother to carry a basket, but her mother refused to do it, saying that there was no mother-in-law in the village who carried a basket to the river to wash clothes, for fear of making people laugh.

And if that's the case, then she will set a precedent. As for Zhang's point, firstly, she and her second cousin are so concerned about their parents and want to ask her to earn money. If you have two children to raise, it's a favor.

Secondly, I also wanted to find an excuse for her to take me to the town. Her father's business was not doing well, and her father couldn't find anything after asking all the questions. I couldn't find any reason, so I had to go to the town by myself. Go up and have a look.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Ziqing, rolled her eyeballs, and moved closer with a smile, "Hey girl, tell me, I'll go to town with your brother tomorrow to carry baskets. Are you ready?"

Ziqing also looked at Mrs. Zhang, smiled with wide eyes, and patted her hand, "Second Cousin, my father and mother should go back to the village, I have to go and light the stove. It's getting late, don't forget to come to my house at noon."

Zhang's smiling face slowly disappeared, looking at Ziqing's thin back, she couldn't help but slander,

This girl is really a ghost, if I take her to the town for a walk, she won't say anything, if this woman is a fool, there will be no one who understands that day!
