Chapter 20: You Can Hit My Knee When You Jump Up
Sister Du looked at the mess in the Zhou family, and said to Qiao Huaping unhappily: "Sister, I'm not provoking trouble. It's so late at night, and a woman like you is taking such a big risk."
Why didn't they say anything when they went into the forest to look for someone?... If you hadn't gone down to the slope and found someone, I guess Sister Song would have had to pass under the slope tonight. The person just didn't fall out.
In the sixth year, there is no doubt that we will encounter some kind of danger - I am not cursing Sister Song by saying this, let's just say it realistically, right?... There are so many people in the Zhou family, but no one has thought of telling you.
Thank you."
Qiao Huaping thought about the clusters of Ganoderma lucidum growing very well in the space. She smiled very sincerely: "It's okay, I don't want them to remember me well. Before I was away, Sister-in-law Song helped take care of a few of my family's
Zai, I am just within my ability, and I will help if I can."
Sister Du fell in love with Qiao Huaping more and more: "Hey, our little Qiao is so kind-hearted!"
None of the children of the Mei family were asleep, so they were lying on the linoleum nearby.
This time there was no need for Qiao Huaping to say anything himself. Mei Qingyao took the initiative to cut some grass and spread it under the linoleum cloth. Then he spread the bedding. Even in the open air, the four children could lie down very comfortably.
They all looked a little complicated when they heard Aunt Du praising Qiao's paintings.
These days, this little stepmother seems to have changed.
In the past, they would beat them, but recently, the stepmother either patted their heads or hugged them.
Today, he has become even more kind-hearted and even took the initiative to go to the woods to help find people.
Thinking about it, they have been eating well and sleeping well every day these past few days. They are obviously escaping from famine, but they are more comfortable than before in the village.
In fact, probably because they eat well and rest well every day, their strength has become stronger. Today, they feel that their whole bodies are full of energy.
Or...this vicious little stepmother has really changed for the better?
The children each had their own thoughts and fell asleep.
Qiao Huaping sat aside, chatting quietly with Sister Du, while rubbing a withered vine. A lot of powder fell from the withered vine and fell on a large leaf placed by Qiao Huaping.
Sister Du didn't chat with Qiao Huaping for too long. After all, she had traveled all day and was very tired. When she was going back to her home to make bed, Qiao Huaping stopped her, took another leaf, and gave her some.
Wrap up the powder and give it to her.
"This is the powder made from dried plague vines. It's a good thing." Qiao Huaping lowered her voice for fear of disturbing the children's sleep. "Sister, please spread this near your bedding and make a circle around it.
It can repel insects and ants.”
Sister Du didn't have any doubts at all. She thanked Qiao Huaping and happily took the leaf bag and left.
Not long after, Sister Du brought back a cattail leaf fan in the dark and secretly gave it to Qiao Huaping: "Here's this for you, you can use it to fan yourself when it's hot."
Qiao Huaping said "Ouch" and happily thanked Sister Du. When Sister Du saw that the things she gave made Xiao Qiao so happy, she also went back happily.
Qiao Huaping shook the cattail leaf fan gently, and the refreshing wind slowly blew in from the swing of the cattail leaf fan.
What a good thing.
Qiao Huaping smiled and rolled his eyes.
She put the cattail leaf fan away, spread the powder she had kneaded before evenly along their linoleum cloth, then lay down, covered herself with a quilt, and fell asleep.
It was still dark the next day. When many people woke up, they found that they had red bumps on their bodies that were bitten by insects and ants.
Of course, the villagers usually dug for food in the loess, so being bitten by an insect or ant is not a big problem. It is just a bit of itching and scratching. However, there are also some serious cases of allergies, redness and swelling all over the body, and they have no choice but to
I took some medicine from Dr. Zhu Xiangyi and applied it on.
After Sister Du woke up, she was surprised to find that none of her family had any traces of insect or ant bites on their bodies!
The medicinal powder Xiao Qiao gave me is really useful!
She ran to Qiao Huaping with some excitement.
Qiao Huaping also woke up. She was lighting the fire and preparing to cook porridge when she saw Sister Du running over excitedly and said to her: "Xiao Qiao, do you have any more?"
