Chapter 72 A Bowl of Brown Sugar Ginger Water

After Zhou Nanyue sent Yun Xiaotang home, he turned around and walked quickly home.

His long legs were as fast as flying, and he soon arrived at the door of his house.

Picking up the bucket at the door, he went to the entrance of the village to fetch water.

When he woke up early this morning, he found that the water in the water tank at home had bottomed out.

So, he was going to go out and pick up two buckets of water and come back.

Unexpectedly, I saw the child as soon as I went out.

However, luckily he found me and sent me home.

Thinking of the child's huddled body and her pale face, he raised his eyebrows.

When he arrived at the village entrance, he put the bucket into the well, pulled the rope, and easily picked up a bucket of water.

After that, he picked up another bucket of water and went home without using a pole. He carried a bucket of water in one hand.

The weak sunlight in the early morning shone on his face and body, as if giving him a layer of light.

He is handsome and tall, and his eyes that used to look cold seemed to have some warmth.

After returning home and pouring the water from the bucket into the water tank, he turned sideways and discovered a blood stain on the corner of his clothes on his back.

Thinking of the child saying she had a stomachache and not wanting to see a doctor, he instantly understood what was going on.

He pursed his lips and took off his jacket, not intending to throw it away out of disgust.

Instead, put it in a laundry tub, clean it carefully, and hang it to dry in the yard.

...

After Zhao Xueer put away the bowl, she went to the room to see how her sister was doing.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my sister nestled under the quilt with her eyes closed, looking like she was asleep.

She quietly exited the door and closed it to prevent the wind from blowing into the room and letting her sister catch the cold.

She picked up the tools and prepared to work in the fields.

Once she left, there was no one at home. Her sister was also asleep, and she couldn't bear to wake her up.

The door couldn't be bolted from the inside, so she could only lock it from the outside before leaving peacefully.

Yun Xiaotang was lying on the bed comfortably, sleeping deeply.

When she woke up, she felt much better.

She got up slowly and went to the toilet, and she was completely awake.

It was almost noon at this time. Looking at the sun, it should be time to get off work soon. My sister and Ping An were coming back.

She was standing in the yard, and just when she thought of this, she heard the sound of the lock being unlocked.

As soon as the door opened, it was Zhao Xueer who came back.

"Chun'er, why are you up? Are you feeling better now?"

Zhao Xueer put down the hoe, walked forward and asked with concern.

Yun Xiaotang nodded, "It's much better now, it doesn't hurt so much."

Only then did Zhao Xueer feel relieved, "You go back to the house and sit down, or go back to the room and lie down. My sister will make you some brown sugar ginger water."

She was in a hurry in the morning and didn't have time. On the way back, she was thinking about making a bowl of brown sugar ginger water for her sister to drink to keep her warm.

Yun Xiaotang obediently returned to the house and lay on the bed again.

Zhao Xueer lit up the earthen stove in the kitchen, plucked wild ginger in the yard, washed it, scraped the skin and cut it into shreds.

When the water in the pot boiled, she put the shredded ginger into the pot and boiled it.

After cooking it for a while, and probably getting out the ginger flavor, she scooped two spoonfuls of brown sugar from the sugar bowl and put it into the pot.

After cooking for a while, the brown sugar and ginger water is ready.

She placed a large bowl filled with brown sugar ginger water on the table in the main room and called softly, "Chun'er, come out and drink brown sugar water."

Yun Xiaotang turned over on the bed, said yes, got up and went to the main room.

There was a large bowl of steaming brown sugar ginger water on the table. She blew on it and took a small sip. It was a little hot, and the sweet taste had a hint of spicy ginger.
