Chapter 174 Gossip 2

The big brick house on the street is a place of comfort. The home has a flat and clean floor. TVs, washing machines, large color TVs, stereos, amplifiers, coffee tables, sofas, modular cabinets...all are available.

It seems that the economic conditions of Liu Ying's family are very good.

Liu Ying’s mother: “Have you eaten yet?”

Liu Ying: "Mu Yi must have not eaten. We met in the county town. He drove me all the way back from the county town. Let Mu Yi go and have a bowl of rice."

I hurriedly said: "I won't eat, I won't eat. It's not far, it's only two steps back, I'll go back to eat." After saying that, I turned around and prepared to go back.

Liu Ying's mother: "Young man Muyi, just stay and eat. Isn't it rare for you to do it when you go back?"

Seeing that I had no intention of staying for dinner, Liu Ying came over, picked me up and walked towards the back of the house.

Oh. It turns out there is a courtyard like a patio at the back. There is a small room passing through the courtyard. The kitchen is in this small room. It has kitchen cabinets, a dining table, a long bench, a floor stove, a large iron pot stove and a cutter.

The chopping board for vegetables and the faucet are connected directly to the kitchen. There is a cement vegetable sink under the faucet.

The living facilities are very complete. Oh my, when I think about my home, compared with hers, it is really shabby.

Liu Ying's mother has already served boiled tofu pudding, stir-fried fresh meat with lettuce, stewed bacon with beans, and stir-fried shredded potatoes.

Liu Ying: "Mom, have you eaten?"

Liu Ying's mother: "Eat. Just take your two bowls."

Liu Ying: "Where's dad?"

Liu Ying's mother: "Your father also ate. He has something to do and is out."

Liu Ying brought two pairs of bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table. She picked up one and scooped out a bowl of rice and handed it to me. I took it and picked it up. She scooped up another bowl, picked it up herself, and sat down to eat.

Smelling the fragrant food, I became even hungrier. I was just a little embarrassed to pick up the food, so I solemnly buried myself in the rice.

Liu Ying: "Hey, don't just plan the rice. Add vegetables to eat. There are so many dishes for just the two of us. Don't be polite." After saying that, he picked up a chopstick of meat and put it in my bowl.

Liu Ying's mother looked at us with a smile: "That's right, young man, don't be polite. Just be casual."

After eating, I helped Liu Ying put the bowl into the sink and prepared to wash the dishes.

Liu Ying: "You don't need to wash it, just let me wash it."

Liu Ying's mother: "You go outside and play. Just put it up. I'll boil some hot water to wash it in a while."

We carried two benches to play in the courtyard dam.

Liu Ying's mother brought out a plate of melon seeds and rice krispie treats from nowhere. Liu Ying hurriedly carried a stool and put down the plate. Liu Ying's mother also sat down next to Liu Ying.

Liu Ying's mother began to ask me questions intentionally or unintentionally. "What is your adult's name? Maybe we know each other."

Me: "My father is Mude Qian, and my mother is Hai Wanqiu."

Liu Ying’s mother: “Oh, I know, I know. Your father and Liu Ying’s father are old cousins. Liu Ying, you two are cousins.”

Me: "Oh, darling, I should call you cousin."

Liu Ying's mother: "It doesn't matter. You can call me nanny or cousin. We are all relatives. By the way, how many sisters are there in your family?"

Me: "There are no sisters in my family. We are three brothers. I am the eldest, and there are two younger brothers. The older one is in junior high school, and the younger one is in elementary school. They are about to graduate."

Liu Ying’s mother: “Oh, you have many brothers. We only have two in our family. Liu Ying is the elder sister, and her younger brother Liu Xiong has gone to serve as a soldier.”

Me: "Oh. How many years has Liu Xiong been a soldier?"

Liu Ying: "It will be two years soon."

Me: "Then he's almost going to change his job."

Liu Ying’s mother: “I don’t know about him. If he wants to be promoted to a higher position, he may have to serve as a soldier for a few more years.”

As she talked, Liu Ying's mother's mood became a little depressed. It was obvious that she missed her son Liu Xiong very much.

Me: "Honey, I heard that some soldiers have to arrange work when they come back. Some don't arrange work. Then Liu Xiong will arrange work when he comes back, right?"

Liu Ying’s mother: “I don’t know.”

Liu Ying: "It needs to be arranged. The country's policy is: those with resident registered permanent residence will be assigned jobs, and those with rural registered permanent residence will not be assigned jobs. Didn't dad buy Liu Xiong's registered permanent residence as a resident? How could he not know?"

When Liu Ying's mother heard what Liu Ying said, she glared at her. Liu Ying quickly lowered her head.

I grabbed a few melon seeds and ate them. I actually wanted to ask Liu Ying's mother if she knew any "news". But seeing this, I was afraid that if someone knew about it, they wouldn't tell me.

He stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you so much, Ma'am. The food you cooked is so delicious."

Liu Ying: "What I cook is also delicious."

Liu Ying's mother: "Then go slowly. Come and play with Liu Ying when you have time."

Liu Ying sent me to the door: "What year were you in?"

Me: "I was born in 1982. What about you?"

Liu Ying chuckled: "I won't tell you."

Ride the bike back and put it away.

I was sitting in an empty room, feeling deserted and uncomfortable. I decided to take a broom and clean the yard while there was still some sunshine. Then I took out the back of the cushion and put it on the ground as a blanket, and lay on it to bask in the sun.

The sun is not very hot at this time, and it feels very comfortable and warm when exposed to the sun. The courtyard dam is also heated by the sun, and it is very comfortable to lie on it. But even if you close your eyes, the sun's rays are still strong and dazzling.

I had no choice but to get up, cover my face with a straw hat, and continue to lie down and bask in the sun.

The person is lying flat, but his heart is not at peace.

Why did Liu Ying know that she was going to be assigned to Datang Township? From what channel did her family get the news? Is this news true or false?

I couldn't think of a clue or a reason. I felt so helpless and lonely. I was confused and confused, and I actually fell asleep.

I didn't wake up until my younger brother came back from school and opened the courtyard door.

I didn't feel any discomfort after I got up. I made dinner and had dinner.

My brothers had dinner, took a break and then started to do their homework. I washed the dishes and felt a little tired, so I told my brothers: "After you finish your homework, go to bed early. Don't watch TV secretly."

If you want to watch it, I’ll let you watch it to your heart’s content after I finish my homework on the weekend.”

That's what I said. I went to bed. I actually don't know if they were watching secretly. Because if the volume of the TV is turned down so that it can only be heard in the main room, it cannot be heard on the second floor of my tower block.

. So, we can only rely on them to realize it.

I felt a little cold just lying down. I thought it might be because the quilt hadn't warmed me up yet. I didn't care and continued to sleep. But the more I slept, the colder I got, and my body was still sweating. I quickly got out of bed and put on my clothes.

.Then I continued to sleep. I thought it was because the quilt was thin that I was cold.

But it wasn't true. When it got worse and I felt dizzy, I realized that I might have a "high fever."

He quickly gritted his teeth and got up, stumbling down the ladder.

My brothers may have heard me rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the main room looking for something. They quickly asked loudly: "Brother, what are you looking for?"

Me: "I'm looking for cold and fever medicine."

Xiaojie: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Me: "I seem to have a cold and feel very uncomfortable."

Then I heard two sounds: "dong, dong".

After a while, Xiaojie and Brother Jun came to me.

Xiaojie reached out and touched my forehead. "Oh, it's very hot. You may have a high fever."

Brother Jun also touched my forehead, and then touched his own forehead. "Well, brother, your forehead is hotter than mine. You have a high fever."

I said: "Why do I feel so cold?"

Xiaojie: "That's true. I don't know why. People with high fevers feel cold. But in fact, their body temperature is still very high." After saying that, he went to get a basin and a handkerchief, and wet them with cold water.

Apply it to my forehead.

Brother Jun: "I don't have any antipyretics at home. I only have Banchanqing tablets, and I don't know where they are. I'll find some for you."

Xiaojie: "I'll go to Dr. Hu's house and ask Dr. Hu to come and take a look at you, huh?"

Me: "I feel like I can still bear it. Don't go out in the dark at midnight. It's very dangerous."

Brother Jun: "Then let's go to Mrs. Fan's house and ask if she has any medicine."

I wanted to forget it. However, I was still afraid of what would happen if the high fever did not go away. So I asked Xiaojie and Brother Jun to pick up the flashlight and go together.

Mrs. Fan's house is my next door neighbor, very close to each other.

After coming here for a while, Xiaojie and Brother Jun came back happily. They saw Brother Jun holding three packets of "Headache Powder" in his hand.

Xiaojie quickly opened the fire door for me and boiled half a bowl of boiling water. Then he poured two packs of "Headache Powder" into a large spoon, scooped out some boiling water and stirred it evenly with chopsticks before giving it to me to drink.

I drank it and drank the rest of the water. Then everyone went to bed.

Fortunately, the "Headache Powder" has a really good fever-reducing effect. And I even took an increased dose.
