Chapter 725 Sick (please give me a monthly vote)

After all, these ancient people still couldn't understand the value of modern academic masters.

In ancient times, there were only a handful of people who could read. Some ordinary people could only rely on various skills to stand out, but most people were still mediocre. After all, everyone had to work hard for life.

Although most people nowadays are like this, there is still a difference between the two.

In one word, it is inclusivity. Now everyone can receive education. The material needs such as food and clothing have basically been met. They can pursue more spiritual things.

Among them, learning is also among this ranks.

People who can fight from the fierce competition like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge naturally have their own merits.

But even if Chen Nian learns things quickly, he does not feel any pride and complacent, because even if he is put into ancient times, he is not full-time and omnipotent, and he still needs to learn continuously.

But Chen Nian's energy seemed particularly powerful at this time.

It was a few days later, and Chen Nian also developed a spicy braised flavour. However, the spicy flavour of dogwood is still much worse than that of the chili peppers in later generations, but this spicy braised flavour was still in a very short time since it was released.

It spreads and is sought after by people.

Chen Nian still runs back to Chuntang every day because he has now started to learn medical skills from the old doctor.

Occasionally he would go to Fu Ting's house to chat with Fu Ting, and have fun with Xiao Fu Xin.

"Brother Fu, what are you going to do next?" Chen Nian asked.

When Fu Ting heard this, he glanced at Chen Nian: "What else can you do? Keep reading. Can you go begging if you don't study?"

Chen Nian smiled and thought that the beggars of this era were indeed beggars, unlike some people in later generations who beg during the day and waited until they got off work at night to drive a luxury car back to their home to enjoy life.

"This is also a way out. Didn't I come from beggar? Maybe Brother Fu can experience a different life and experience the sufferings of the world more."

"I won't go!" Fu Ting flatly refused, "It's impossible to beg for food."

Listening to this, Chen Nian said again: "If you don't go into this industry, Brother Fu can also go to a private school or some wealthy families to be a teacher."

"Forget it. I didn't pass the exam this time because I have been troubled by too many mundane things in the past three years. Now that I have a stable income, I can also concentrate on studying. As for teaching others to read, there will naturally be people.

If you do it, I will teach my son at home." Fu Ting said.

Obviously he has his own ideas.

But that's what the old one said.

Days pass day by day, spring goes by and autumn goes by, cold comes and heat goes by, as the leaves gradually wither and yellow fall, the old age ushers in the second winter in this world.

But it was this winter that Xu Erni fell ill.

After all, I was old and had a hard time in between, so my body was naturally not as good as when I was young.

Just one day, Xu Erni had just finished cleaning the yard in the morning and started to have a fever in the afternoon.

This scared the old man.

It is not a joke to be sick when an old man is sick, especially in ancient times.

He quickly invited his master from Huichuntang to help Xu Erni see a doctor.

After checking Xu Erni's condition, the old doctor said slowly: "Advisor, you don't have to worry too much. Your mother is infected with normal cold. I'll write you a prescription and get some medicine back. You can give it to you.

It will take a long time to get better.”

"Thank you, Master." Chen Nian thanked repeatedly.

Then Chen Nian followed the old doctor back to Huichun Hall, and then came back to decoct the medicine for me after I grabbed the medicine.

Chen Nian carefully decocted the medicine and put it out. Song San sat on the edge of the kang with the medicine bowl.

Song San cherishes and cherishes Xu Erni very much.

"Old woman, I've taken medicine."

Song San said with a smile.

But Xu Erni didn't have much strength at this moment and wanted to sit up. After trying for a while, she couldn't exert her strength. However, Chen Nian came back and quickly helped me up.

Song San stirred slowly with a spoon to cool the medicine a little. When he scooped it with a spoon, he blew it gently. He first put it on his lips and felt the temperature for a while before he sent the spoon to Xu Erni.

Here.

After taking a sip, Xu Erni's face suddenly twisted: "Why is this medicine so bitter?"

Song San smiled: "The medicine must be bitter, the sweet ones are sugar, and the fragrant ones are meat, but people have to drink medicine when they are sick, and they can only get better after drinking the medicine."

As he said that, he fed Xu Erni another spoonful.

After taking the second sip, Xu Erni felt very uncomfortable in her mouth: "I don't want to drink it anymore. This medicine is too bitter. I want to drink soy milk, so it's best to put some sugar in it."

Seeing my mother like this, Chen Nian seemed to be a little girl acting cute. She usually looks kind and kind, and is in charge of things at home.

"Don't say that this little old lady is a little cute." Chen Nian couldn't help but think.

"Mom, we have soy milk at home, but we have to drink the medicine first. After drinking the medicine, we will drink soy milk and rinse our mouths." Chen Nian said.

"That's it." Song San echoed: "If you are sick, don't drink medicine, your illness will only get worse and worse. You are still waiting for you to get better and help me with work."

Xu Erni looked at her husband and son.

"Oh, I drink it, but how can I get cold after all? I wear cotton jackets and trousers every time I go out. Logically speaking, I shouldn't catch a cold, but you're right. If you get sick, you have to take medicine, otherwise

You two have to serve me."

This is the case with the elderly, and they always have random thoughts of gains and losses.

"Mom, don't say that. I should be serving you."

"That's right, you are my wife. You always serve me. Now that you are sick, what's wrong with me serving you?"

Xu Erni smiled reluctantly: "Song Laosan, you are not afraid of outsiders gossiping."

When Song Sanyi heard this, he immediately blew his beard and stared at him and was dissatisfied: "Who dares to talk about me? I'll serve my wife, what's wrong? What's so embarrassing about this?"

But after he said that, he felt that drinking the medicine in small sips was indeed a bit bitter: "This medicine is too hot now. I'll help you cool it a little. Wait until it's warm, and drink it all in one breath."

"That's fine." Xu Erni said.

"Son, then you go hot soy milk now. Do we still have sugar in our house? If so, put some sugar in your mother in the soy milk then."

"Yes, I'll go to hot soy milk now."

Not long after, Xu Erni finished her medicine and drank the aged hot soy milk, and then she put her quilt tightly on the kang and lay down on the kang.

Song San just stood by the kang, looking at his wife, while Chen Nian went to the yard to work hard.

To change the water for the soaked meat, to chop firewood, and to weigh the purchased spices separately and keep them together for later use.

After sorting out these, Chen Nian still has to clean up the yard.

Now the yard will be filled with fallen leaves if it is not cleaned up every day, so you have to sweep it a little every day.

But Chen Nian was busy and he went back to the house to get salt at about noon, but before he could enter the house, through the gap in the door, Chen Nian saw Song San wiping tears over there.

You should know that since Chen Nian came to this home, he had never seen Song San show such a look.

"Oh, I'm getting older after all."

Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.

But in fact, to be honest, whether it is Song San or Xu Erni, they are all in their fifties now.

But their face is the face of people who are very common in rural areas. Because they have to work hard every day, under the wind and sun, they look older.

In comparison, his mother Feng Honghong, who is about the same age, looks younger than them.

But this is just caused by the different times.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian coughed before pushing the door in. Song San just heard Chen Nian coughing and quickly wiped his tears.

After entering the house, Chen Nian rubbed his hands as if nothing had happened: "The weather is starting to get cold now, and I don't know when it will snow."

"It's hard to say. In previous years, it snowed in November, but sometimes it would not fall until the New Year. However, it would be a good thing to snow in winter."

"Auspicious snow indicates good harvest." Chen Nian said with a smile.

"That's about it. It's still my son is educated, so I can't say such a word."

After baking hands by the stove, Chen Nian went to get the salt and asked, "How is Mom?"

"I guess the problem is not big. I'm sweating a little now. It seems that the medicine is still effective. I will cover it again and it will be cured in a few days."

Chen Nian nodded.

After lunch, they had to stay at home to take care of their wife, so Chen Nian had to go out.

There is not much food at home, so I have to go out and buy some more. I don’t need to buy meat. There are too many foods at home, but I have to buy some more vegetables.

However, when Chen Nian was shopping outside, she found that some stalls were selling fruits.

Although the quality does not look as fresh as summer and autumn, I am sick, and being able to eat some fruits to supplement vitamin C is also helpful for the condition.

But Chen Nian asked about the price and found that the fruits sold at this season seemed a bit expensive, but he still bought some more.

After taking it home, Xu Erni saw Chen Nian buy the fruits and asked, she learned that Chen Nian bought it for herself, and she couldn't help but complain that Chen Nian spent money indiscriminately.
