| ← Ch.117 | Ch.119 → |
Lei Tia carried the two big fish into the fenced yard, "Wifey, let's eat fish at noon."
Qin Mian put on the clothes from the laundry basket on the clothes rack, hung them on the clothes pole, shook the water from his hands, and looked at the fish in his hands, "Where did you come from?"
"In the pond." Lei Tia walked to his side, "Didn't you like to eat????"
"Uuu ~ ~" A strong fishy smell entered Qin Mian's nose, making his stomach churn. He quickly ran to the wall, covered his chest, and spat out a mouthful of filth.
Lei Tia's face changed, he walked over in large steps to support him, "Where are you uncomfortable?"
"Uuu ~ ~" The disgust in his heart started to churn again, Qin Mian retreated a few steps and looked at the fish in his hands with disdain, "Is the fish smelly?"
The two fish that were caught by Lei Tia were casually thrown to the ground by Lei Tia, their tails still wagging as they struggled to their deaths. Lei Tia worriedly hugged Qin Mian, his right hand grabbing onto's wrist to feel his pulse.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Qin Mian was puzzled. The fishy smell had disappeared, and the disgust had also disappeared.
Lei Tia frowned, "There's no problem."
"There really isn't any discomfort." Qin Mian looked at the fish bouncing on the ground suspiciously, "It's really weird. Don't you think those two fish are fishy? "
Lei Tia shook his head, he looked at his face carefully, it was healthy and ruddy, and there was nothing abnormal about it, "Come in."
He picked up the two fish and put them in the corner, scooped up some water to wash his hands, and dried the rest of his clothes.
Qin Mian felt a little tired, so he returned to his room and lay down on the sofa, and yawned, gradually feeling like he was trapped.
After Lei Tia finished drying his clothes, he walked into the living room. Qin Mian was already asleep. His sword-like eyebrows creased again. He had only woken up for less than two hours, and now he was sleepy again? He silently walked over, lowered his head, and his forehead touched Qin Mian's. However, the wrinkles on his forehead did not open up. Instead, he kissed Qin Mian on the lips and went over to the edge of the window to pull the rope.
Uncle Fu hurried over and saw Lei Tia's figure through the open window. He knelt outside and greeted, "Eldest Young Master, what orders do you have?"
"Go get Doctor Liu."
Could it be that Young Master was sick? Uncle Fu did not dare delay, and followed the order.
Doctor Liu was a doctor from the village. He was in his early forties and had been practicing medicine for three generations. His medical skills were passed down through the generations and he could diagnose most diseases.
Doctor Liu came quickly. On one hand, it was because he was worried about the patients, and on the other hand, it was because he was curious about the Leisurely Dwelling House. After entering, his two feet moved extremely quickly, not delaying him from sizing up Tian Ji's interior scenery.
Lei Tia courteously invited him into the living room, "Doctor Liu, your wife is feeling unwell.
"You're too polite." Doctor Liu walked over and took Qin Mian's pulse. He suspiciously looked at Lei Tia for a moment, then turned his head to observe Qin Mian's expression and put down his wrist."Your wife's pulse is very normal."
Lei Tia became even more suspicious. His large hand stroked Qin Mian's face as he said in a soft voice, "He has been sleeping soundly these past few days, and is easy to get tired. He can't smell the fishy smell, and only smelled the fishy smell."
Uncle Fu was stu ed.
Doctor Liu was stupefied for a moment as he sca ed the youth on the sofa with a bewildered and doubtful gaze. Someone like Lei Tia would never joke with him. Why does it sound like he's pregnant? However, as everyone knew, Qin Mian was definitely a man.
Lei Tia called out: "Doctor Liu?"
Doctor Liu regained his senses, this was the first time he lost confidence in his medical skills. He picked up Qin Mian's wrist again and said awkwardly, "I'll do it again."
Lei Tia did not say a word.
Doctor Liu closed his eyes and carefully felt the pulse. He then said with certainty, "Your wife's pulse is neither too heavy nor too weak. It is gentle and strong. As for the fact that you said he couldn't smell anything fishy, perhaps it was because he had eaten too much breakfast?? "It's a bit tiresome."
Lei Tia declined to comment and fished out a few copper coins from his bag, "Thank you, Doctor Liu."
Dr. Liu refused, "This time, there's no prescription, so there's no need to collect fees."
Lei Tia nodded his head, "Uncle Fu, send Doctor Liu out and pick a few pears for him."
"Yes." The Uncle Fu gestured to Doctor Liu, "Doctor Liu, please."
Seeing Lei Tia carrying Qin Mian and preparing to leave, Doctor Liu tactfully shut his mouth and followed Uncle Fu to leave.
Lei Tia carefully hugged the person in his arms. After taking a few steps, the person in his arms woke up.
"Tia, did I fall asleep?"
Lei Tia's eyes were filled with worry, "Go to the town and see a doctor."
Qin Mian held him by the neck, and laughed: "What doctor are you looking at? I'm really fine."Let me down first."
Lei Tia frowned and did not say a word, but stared at him unblinkingly.
"I'm really fine!" Qin Mian held onto his shoulder and supported his upper body, "Believe me, don't tell me that my own body isn't clear enough? I don't feel the least bit uncomfortable right now."
Lei Tia put him back on the sofa silently.
Qin Mian scratched his head and also realized that something was wrong with him recently. He was very tired and he was even addicted to sleep. Was this proof of growth?
He spread his arms and smacked his lips."I'm a little hungry. I want to eat the chili powder and put tofu in it."
"I'll go buy it." Lei Tia rubbed his head, then went to the kitchen and took a big bowl out.
Lei Qinle was feeding the horses in the stable. There were a total of four horses in the stable, the brown horse and black horse were Qin Mian's and his only horses, the other two were bought later and were used to drive carriages.
"Lei Qinle."
Lei Qinle ran over eagerly, "Greetings young master!"
"Get the best doctor in town at once."
"Yes sir!"
When Doctor Liu came, Lei Qinle also saw it. He was a little worried and quickly brought out a horse, jumped on it and galloped away.
Thinking about Qin Mian's abnormality, Lei Tia's aura became even more oppressive, and he walked all the way to the tofu workshop south of the village. The villagers on the road didn't dare to approach him, they were all far away.
The small tofu workshop had its windows open. The Lady Boss was lazily sitting behind the counter, bathing in the sunlight.
Lei Tia took out a few copper coins and placed it on the counter, "Two kilograms of tofu."
The Lady Boss's spirits were raised. She smiled and said, "Brother Lei, why are you here to buy vegetables yourself?"
Lei Tia did not say anything, and she did not mind. After he finished weighing the tofu, he placed it into a bowl, "Two kilograms is accurate."
Lei Tia nodded and left in a hurry.
Returning to the Leisurely Dwelling House, Lei Tia saw from afar that he was very excited to spar with Lei Qinzhong and the others, so Lei Tia relaxed that he quickly walked over.
"Wifey."
"Tia, you're back so quickly?" Qin Mian threw away the stick in his hand and ran over, "Come, let's go back to make some chili powder."
After entering the kitchen, he instructed Lei Tia to chop the fresh and lean meat. He also ordered him to wash the parsley and cut it into pieces.
He stir-fried the minced meat and put the tofu in the soup. When the sweet potato was cooked, he scooped up the water and poured it into a bowl. Then he added the fried minced meat, the parsley, the green and red pepper filaments, the dried soybeans and garlic mashed in oil and salt.
Qin Mian scooped up two bowls, he and Lei Tia each had a bowl.
Qin Mian tasted the vinegar from the jar, and since it was not sour enough, he went to the kitchen and poured himself three spoonfuls of it.
"Eat." Qin Mian picked up a pair of chopsticks with his chopsticks and started eating with relish.
Lei Tia took his first bite, and took a deep breath from it.
"What's wrong?" Qin Mian lifted his eyelids and looked at him, his mouth was still sucking on the powdered noodles.
Lei Tia looked at his daughter-in-law's bowl in silence. He picked up a few pieces of powder and tasted them, then covered his face with his hands, "Acidic."
"It's not that sour." Qin Mian looked at him weirdly. Did this fellow also learn how to tease people?
Lei Tia paused for a moment, then pushed the bowl in front of his wife, "Eat."
"It won't be enjoyable. I'll cook some noodles for you later." Qin Mian glanced at him regretfully, then continued to eat the chili powder happily. After finishing his, he once again wiped out Lei Tia's bowl.
After eating, Lei Tia accompanied Qin Mian to have a nap, and Lei Qinle invited the most famous doctor in the town over.
Only now did Qin Mian know that Lei Tia was still worried about him, and obediently let the doctor check his pulse.
After the doctor felt the pulse, he said lightly, "The pulse is not heavy, but it is gentle and powerful. There is nothing wrong with it."
After saying that, he asked uncertainly, "Is there anyone else who needs to see a patient?"
Qin Mian gave Lei Tia a "don't worry" look, and said to the doctor: "Doctor, please come over. Uncle Fu, pay the medical fee and send the doctor back properly."
"Yes."
After Uncle Fu and the doctor left, Qin Mian hugged Lei Tia, "I said before that I was fine."
"It's good that you're fine." Lei Tia hugged him tightly, "If there's anything that's uncomfortable, don't hide it from me."
"Yes." Qin Mian raised the topic, "Did you get them to buy all the vegetables and seeds?"
Lei Tia nodded, "I have bought cucumbers, chilies, eggplants, bitter melon, tomatoes, gourds and more. Wife, what do you want to do? "
The mysterious and pleased expression on Qin Mian's face crossed each other as he said, "Plant the vegetables that are out of season!"
The so-called off-season vegetables are in the autumn and winter growing in the Spring and Summer Festival vegetables. Simply put, it was to create a climate similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Season during the autumn and winter seasons, allowing the vegetables that were previously growing in the Spring and Autumn Season to grow in the cold autumn and winter seasons.
Qin Mian didn't know much about the vegetables in the opposite season, but he knew a bit about them. The current him and Lei Tia had enough economic strength, so it was worth a try. If they were able to grow it successfully, it would bring them a huge amount of wealth once again.
He asked the Uncle Fu to gather all the unqualified servants in the family and told them in detail about the basic principles, conditions and requirements for growing the vegetables that would go out of season. He also told them about some examples he had seen in his previous life. If anyone made an important contribution in this area, he and Lei Tia would give them a sum of money as a reward.
This action greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the servants, and they began to busy themselves without stop.
Qin Mian did not completely let go of his hands, he went to take a look at their progress from time to time, and gave them some advice on how to mix the warm, nutritious soil with hot manure. Chicken manure was hot manure, while cow manure was mucilage that was rich in air and mucus. In addition, off-season vegetables are grown in places that require a convenient source of water and are surrounded by a windscreen to avoid direct chilling winds.
After the servants made sense of the situation, Qin Mian then started to take his leave, to busy himself with other matters.
Towards the end of September, the abnormality of Qin Mian's body gradually disappeared. Qin Mian and Lei Tia were relieved. At this time, it was the time for the river to clear away its sediment. However, this time it was the village river that needed to be cleaned up. The river was the main source of irrigation for the villagers. The Precinct Head asked for one person to come out from every house, free of charge to clean up the silt. Scavenging was for their own sake, no one was dissatisfied, the villagers were all very active. If anyone dared to be lazy, they would definitely be criticized and criticized by the other villagers.
Although there were servants in the Qin Mian Family, it was not wise to act collectively and independently. Therefore, had personally come to visit the Qin Mian Family. Qin Mian actually wanted to take turns with him, but Lei Tia firmly refused.
October more than autumn rain, in case the river rises not good, so, the removal of silt is to buy time with God. The Precinct Head requested for the villagers to dig from the sun until the sun set. They were not even allowed to go home for lunch, and were sent to the riverside by their families.
Qin Mian displayed his pain towards Lei Tia on his meals, every meal consisted of two meat dishes, and he even brought a bowl of hot, thick soup to every hour. The villagers got used to it when they were envious and jealous.
Stimulated, the village wives also cooked a bowl of soup at home and sent it to their men. Even though it was just vegetable soup, the men were still enjoying it. When they got home at night, they would be more considerate towards their wives. They would work during the day and chat, so they were even more energetic.
This morning, the River Precinct Head was bustling with noise and excitement as they caught dozens of big fish.
A sister-in-law ran over, panting."Brother Xiang Yi??" Quick, go back and take a look, you?? Your daughter-in-law... Yes..."I'm happy now??"
