Shen Yue carefully took out the puffballs from the basket, placed them on the stove, gently tore open the outer skin, and scooped out all the puffball powder inside.
Before Luo Mu could go far, she saw Shen Yue starting to tinker with things again, so she came over curiously and asked if she wanted her help.
Hearing what Luo Mu said, Shen Yue stopped what she was doing, turned around and smiled sheepishly at Luo Mu, and asked, "Mom, can you bring me some cotton and gauze?"
She remembered to buy it, but she didn't know where Luo Mu put it when she packed it up, so she could only ask Luo Mu to help her pick it up.
"Okay, Mom, go get it for you." Mother Luo responded, turned around and left the kitchen.
As soon as Luo Mu left, Shen Yue took out all the distilled water from the pot, put it into a small jar and sealed it. She also made distilled water with other flavors, and then took out a small frying pan to cook rice. paste.
By the time Luo's mother came back with the things, Shen Yue's rice cereal was almost done.
While letting the rice paste cool, she cut the cloth she had prepared in advance into three-inch strips.
A lot of cloth pieces were prepared, and Luo Mu was also helping to make them according to Shen Yue's instructions.
Shen Yue spread rice paste evenly on the long piece of cloth, then placed cotton in the center, sprinkled puffball powder, covered it tightly with gauze, and finally attached the butter paper to it.
Trim off the excess part on the outermost side, and an improved band-aid is completed.
Shen Yue tried it and found that the powder no longer leaked out. Apart from a slightly different appearance, there was almost no difference in other aspects from modern band-aids.
"Okay!" Shen Yue put away the prepared band-aids and said to Luo's mother excitedly.
"Ayue, is this done?"
"Yes, that's enough. If you feel bored, you can do it in the future."
Luo Mu learned Shen Yue's method and did it once, and it was almost the same.
Then the two of them made all the remaining fabrics and puffballs in their hands.
With the envelope given by Uncle Ren, it would be easier to put the band-aids in. There are ten pieces in each envelope, so there are twenty envelopes in total.
After all this was done, Shen Yue tidied up the things on the table.
Looking at the late weather outside, Luo Mu quickly washed her hands and went to cook.
"Mom, I'll cook tonight's dinner. Could you please help me put all these band-aids into the basket? I'll take them in exchange for money tomorrow."
Shen Yue couldn't help but put the band-aid on Luo Mu's hand, and ran to the stove to prepare for cooking.
Luo Mu couldn't resist Shen Yue, so she let her go.
The dishes she cooked this time were the same as before. She fried some small fried mushrooms and the last bit of pig blood. She also tried cooking a pot of the kudzu porridge that Aunt Gu had mentioned.
…
Luo Qingjiu memorized the Book of Songs in his hand again and looked far away, seeing that it was getting late and he should go cook.
Then I got up and prepared to go to the kitchen. As soon as I opened the door, I smelled a delicious smell, and my stomach rumbled at the right time.
"Xiaojiu, are you hungry?" Luo's mother happened to come to put the band-aid. Seeing this, Luo Qingjiu couldn't help but chuckled, "I was a little late in cooking today. I just told Ayue about her. The band-aid is ready, you can eat just a moment later."
"It's okay, Mom, I'm not particularly hungry. I'm going to see if A Yue can help." Luo Qingjiu shook her head, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Soon the two of them cleared away the dishes and put the food on the table.
Along the way, Shen Yue was still a little worried and always asked Luo Qingjiu if she was feeling uncomfortable.
Luo Qingjiu looked at her helplessly, "I'm really fine. I was able to help you move your things just now."
Hearing this, Shen Yue scratched her head.
That seems to be the case...
After eating, Luo's mother rushed to clear away the dishes, and the two of them were urged to go back to the room to rest.
Shen Yue, who had been busy all night, lay on the couch and almost didn't have time to talk to Luo Qingjiu, and soon fell asleep.
Luo Qingjiu felt distressed when she saw Shen Yue lying next to her with a tired look on her face. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched Shen Yue's face.
Perhaps sensing something strange on her face, Shen Yue shrank into Luo Qingjiu's arms, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep soundly.
Looking at Shen Yue who was sleeping soundly, the corners of Luo Qingjiu's lips curled up. He stretched out his hands to take the person into his arms, his eyes gradually closed, and he fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
…
The next day.
When Shen Yue woke up, she found herself nestled in Luo Qingjiu's arms. Her face turned red. She originally thought that she would wake up gently so as not to disturb Luo Qingjiu, but he could feel the slightest movement.
"Are you going out so early?" Luo Qingjiu had just opened her eyes drowsily, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"Hmm, sir, please sleep a little longer. I'll put the food in the pot for you to warm later." After saying that, Shen Yue stood up and put on her coat.
After simply cleaning herself up, Shen Yue left the back room.
It's just that the yard is extremely quiet today, and the quietness is a bit abnormal.
Logically speaking, Luo Mu had already gotten up by this time, and the chimney on the roof of the kitchen should also be curling up with smoke at this time.
Shen Yue walked to the door of the kitchen with doubts, but did not see Luo Mu. She turned around and walked to Luo Mu's room.
Before she even got close, she keenly heard Luo Mu's slight cry of pain, as if she was holding back something.
Shen Yue hurriedly opened the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Luo Mu on the bed, clutching her belly. Her face was wrinkled together, and there were thin beads of sweat on her forehead. She looked very painful.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Shen Yue half-knelt beside the bed anxiously.
"It's nothing, just...a little uncomfortable..." Luo Mu felt as if she had exhausted all her strength after saying this.
Seeing this, Shen Yue immediately stretched out her hand to touch Luo Mu's wrist, and then suddenly realized that it was Kuishui, and Luo Mu was obviously suffering from menstrual cramps.
Thinking of this, she walked out, quickly boiled some hot water for Luo Mu, made a cup of brown sugar water, and didn't forget to put some hot water in the bottle.
When Shen Yue walked into the door again, Luo Mu had already closed her eyes tightly and fell asleep on the bed with a pale face.
She immediately stepped forward and stuffed the hot water bottle into the quilt, put it on Luo Mu's belly to keep it warm, then found a handkerchief, dipped it in hot water, and wiped away the sweat from Luo Mu's forehead.
"Mom, wake up first and drink all this brown sugar water before going to sleep."
Shen Yue's soft voice came to her ears, and Luo Mu slowly opened her heavy eyelids and looked at Yue'er standing in front of her, holding a steaming small bowl in her hand.
"Mom, drink this hot brown sugar water first, it will make you feel better." After saying that, Shen Yue lifted Luo Mu up, leaned on the bed, picked up the spoon and fed Luo Mu one by one.
After finishing the drink, Shen Yue helped Luo Mu lie down slowly and tucked her into the quilt, "Mom, you should have a good rest at home today. There is something going on in town and I have to go there."
After drinking the brown sugar water, Luo Mu's complexion improved significantly and her voice became stronger.
Just listening to Shen Yue's words, Luo's mother became a little excited, "Mom, it's really not appropriate to leave today. Otherwise, forget it today and you'd better not go yourself..."
She was really afraid that what happened last time would happen again. What would she do if something happened to Shen Yue?
Shen Yue immediately guessed what Luo's mother was worried about. She smiled slightly and said, "Mom, don't worry. Nothing will happen to me this time. I will pay attention to the time this time and promise to meet Uncle Qin on time." When you come back, you can have a good rest at home, it was a shame to look like this in the past."
In this way, Shen Yue talked to Luo Mu on the bedside for a long time, and then persuaded her to fall asleep.
Shen Yue looked at the wine she brewed yesterday. It smelled slightly of wine, but without the blessing of koji, the taste was still much worse. She immediately took the distilled water and went straight to Qin Lizheng's house.
Qin Li was looking at Shen Yue coming alone and felt a little strange, so he asked, "Why are you alone today? Where is your mother?"
"My mother is not feeling well today, so I asked her to rest at home. I am the only one taking the bus today."
