Chapter 9 Recognize them all

 "Oh, my dear baby has turned into a little cat after eating it. Mom, please wipe it off."

Liu Zhihua found a cloth handkerchief and picked up Jiaojiao who was eating happily.

Jiaojiao obediently put down the chicken leg, pouting her little mouth and letting it be wiped.

Liu Zhihua smiled while wiping her, "My mother's tenderness is really rare."

When Jiaojiao turned her head, she saw her eldest brother Guang Guang drinking soup. She blinked her eyes softly and said, "Brother, I won't eat your chicken legs. You eat it quickly."

Qiu Sheng smiled, put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Big brother doesn't like it, and Jiaojiao doesn't like it, so let's share it with Erya and Xiaoli."

After chewing the chicken leg, Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he quickly licked his mouth and brought the bowl over, "Brother, I want to eat."

"Xiao Li, ask your father to get some meat for you."

Liu Zhihua winked at the boss, and Wang Zhuangzhi hurriedly took out a big piece of meat from the pot and coaxed with a smile: "Xiao Li, this big piece of meat is stewed and is very fragrant. We don't eat chicken legs but eat this meat."

When Xiao Li saw the meat, he temporarily forgot about the chicken legs. He happily poked it with chopsticks and started to eat, "Well, the meat is delicious..."

Liu Zhihua saw that Qiu Sheng still couldn't move his chopsticks, so he persuaded her: "Qiu Sheng, mother knows that you feel sorry for your younger brothers and sisters, but you are not in good health yourself. Eat quickly to replenish your body. Two pots of meat are enough for Erya and Xiaoli."

Qiu Sheng glanced at the fragrant chicken legs, then took his chopsticks and put them into his bowl to eat.

……

After eating,

Wang Zhuangzhi hung the remaining meat in the well, and when the sun had just set, he carried a hoe and prepared to go to the hilltop to sow seeds. Behind him, Erya, wearing a straw hat, held half a bag of peanut seeds in her hands and shouted towards the house: "

Mom, go faster!"

"Coming."

Liu Zhihua came out of the room and was tying a black square turban on her head. Jiaojiao came out from behind and held her mother in place, muttering softly that she wanted to boil potion for her eldest brother, "Mother promised."

The sweetheart tugged at the corner of his clothes, but Liu Zhihua couldn't bear to refuse. She turned around and winked at the master, saying, "You two, please walk more slowly. I'll catch up in a moment."

Finally, Wang Zhuangzhi and Erya left first.

Xiao Li ate and drank enough and slept in the room, while Qiu Sheng was copying books.

Outside,

Jiaojiao took out the roots and leaves she had picked, and took Liu Zhihua to the earthen stove, pointing at the iron pot to cook the medicine.

Liu Zhihua sighed and smiled. This girl has such a long memory that she even thought she would forget about it after eating.

"Mom boils water and I collect firewood."

Jiaojiao said and walked to the corner to hold firewood. Liu Zhihua ran to pick her up, so frightened that she panicked: "Oh, my little ancestor, what should I do if my hand is pricked by firewood?"

Jiaojiao looked at her little fleshy hand, then at the firewood, blinked and said seriously: "Mom, be careful and you won't prick your hand."

Her brother and sister hug her every day, so she can do it too.

Liu Zhihua couldn't bear it. He smiled and touched her little fleshy hand and coaxed: "Jiaojiao can't do these rough jobs. Mom is very strong. Mom can hold firewood."

Finally,

Jiaojiao was placed on a small chair by her mother, while Liu Zhihua quickly chopped firewood and boiled water, throwing all the branches and leaves into the pot.

The moment she covered the pot, she didn't know whether it was because her eyesight was dazzled or because she saw a hair inside. She rubbed her eyes and took a closer look, but she couldn't see it again.

After the water boiled for a while, Liu Zhihua saw that she could almost coax the little one, so she picked up a small bowl and prepared to serve the soup.

Jiaojiao saw it with sharp eyes, and shouted in a soft voice: "Mother, Grandpa Li said it would take half an hour to stew the medicine, but you stewed it too fast."

Liu Zhihua smiled helplessly and put down the bowl and spoon again, lamenting that her sweet baby's memory was so good that she couldn't even fake it.

Now I can’t keep up with the leader and Erya.

Forget it, just spend a little more effort and add two extra pieces of firewood, and it’s worth it to make Jiaojiao happy.

Half an hour later,

Liu Zhihua poured out all the leftover soup and water in the pot. With her delicate eyes shining brightly, she hurried to her elder brother's room to call for help.

Qiu Sheng, who was copying the book, saw his little sister running in. Before he could ask, her petite face smiled brightly and said to him: "Brother, come and drink the decoction. After drinking it, all the sick will be gone."

Qiu Sheng put down his brush and stood up with a smile. He stood up and coaxed: "Thank you for your hard work, little sister. I'll let you go and have a look."

In the yard,

Liu Zhihua looked at the filtered soup in wonder, picked it up and smelled it, smiled and said to herself: "My Jiaojiao is indeed a lucky star. The medicine she picked at random smells so good when cooked."

If she hadn't known about the grass leaves picked randomly by her sweet boy, she would have thought that some doctor had prescribed herbal medicine.

"Mother."

Qiu Sheng carried his sister over and smelled a light fragrance. He looked at the bowl of pale golden soup curiously and asked, "Mom, is this cooked with the medicinal materials Jiaojiao collected?"

Liu Zhihua smiled and nodded, "Yeah, look at the soup. It looks very valuable, but I don't know what it is."

The Jiaojiao in Qiu Sheng's arms had dark and big eyes. She nodded softly and said, "There are Baicao leaves, astragalus roots, perilla stems... well, there are also ginseng roots."

After Jiaojiao finished speaking, Liu Zhihua and Qiu Sheng were completely shocked.

Except for ginseng root, as Jiaojiao said before, the names of these medicinal materials are the same as those that Doctor Li always orders!

Liu Zhihua excitedly took Guabao's little hand and asked, suppressing the excitement in her heart: "Jiaojiao, tell me quickly, how do you know these things?"

Jiaojiao blinked her eyes, well, she is a ginseng essence and is naturally familiar with these medicinal materials, but she is a human now, so she cannot say that she is a ginseng essence.

"Mom, I know Grandpa Li's medicine right after I saw it." Jiaojiao looked well-behaved and tugged at her clothes with her two little hands, obviously not used to lying.

"Qiu Sheng, did you hear that our Jiaojiao family is so smart? I wrote it all down after reading it once. God opened my eyes and gave me another little prodigy in the Wang family." Liu Zhihua was so excited that her face flushed with joy.

Qiu Sheng was a little shocked when he saw his little sister, and blurted out: "Mom, why don't you send Jiaojiao to school, Jiaojiao will definitely be more promising than me in the future."

"My son must be so happy that he won't be an official no matter how promising he is. Please study hard for me. Jiaojiao doesn't have to worry about you."

As she said that, Liu Zhihua held her daughter in her arms and said happily: "When your family is more relaxed, my mother will send you to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Jiaojiao will definitely learn it. By then, our family will also produce a talented girl. When your elder brother has completed his studies,

If I do something good, I, Jiaojiao, might be able to find a job as an official’s wife.”

When Qiu Sheng heard the words, he froze at first, until the last word "official wife", he frowned and said: "Mom, don't say these words in the future. Listen to our master, an official in Ancheng angered the big shots from the capital some time ago.

He was immediately beheaded by everyone, and even two rains did not wash away the blood on the guillotine."

Liu Zhihua was frightened when she heard this, "There is such a thing!" Then she hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, shrank her neck in fear and said, "No, no, no, you can't be an official's wife like this. You have too much money and no life to spend it on."<
