Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1394: Maybe Eighteen

After living for most of her life, his mother finally found an organization.

Ye Xiaoxi was originally sitting there watching TV. When she saw Ye's mother put a lot of things on the table, she curiously ran over and climbed onto the table, then grabbed a red date and started eating it.

Mother Ye touched her head and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine."

"Be good next time and don't act naughty, okay? Otherwise, no one will take care of you."

She bowed her head and said nothing.

Ye Yaodong touched her head, silently comforting her.

After Ye's mother had arranged the things, she began to divide them into three large piles, and asked, "Have the guests left?"

"Well, let Dad take it and I'll lie down and take a nap."

"When a child is sick, the adults are the most tired. So you just lie down and I'll give the rest to your eldest and second brothers. I'll stew the chicken and duck at noon and give each of them a bowl."

Ye Yaodong nodded
Ye's mother put the divided things back into the two baskets, then hurried out again and took them to the next room to divide them.

Ye Yaodong casually grabbed another handful of longan, peeled the flesh and put it in front of Ye Xiaoxi, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

She shook her head.

"Then make her some pearl powder later."

These words were spoken to Lin Xiuqing.

Lin Xiuqing agreed, "I know, go to sleep."

Ye Yaodong patted Ye Xiaoxi's head again, "Do you want to sleep with me for a while?"

"No, I'm awake, I don't want to sleep anymore."

"Well, then don't go out, just stay home and watch TV."

She nodded.

Ye Yaodong rubbed her head a few more times before going back to his room to catch up on some sleep.

I thought she was full of energy the whole day and should be fine, but in the middle of the night she had a high fever again.

The couple felt sorry for their child, so they let him sleep with them that night, between them. But the child was restless and kept kicking the quilt. In the middle of the night, they discovered that the child's body was hot again.

The couple was so anxious that they got up in the middle of the night to wipe her body, and their noise also alarmed the old lady.

When the old lady knew that Ye Xiaoxi had a fever again, she said directly that she was frightened the night before and lost her soul. She asked Ye Yaodong to pick up the child and go out with her to call back the soul.

If it was just an ordinary high fever, it would have gone away during the day and the person would have been fine. But now the fever had risen again in the middle of the night, and the old lady wanted to call her soul back.

Ye Yaodong also knew that he should call back the soul after being frightened. Yesterday he believed in science, and today he had to believe in superstition.

The old lady put on her clothes and followed them out, then walked beside them and called out, "Ye Xiaoxi is back..."

Then he reached out his hand to Ye Xiaoxi who was in Ye Yaodong's arms.

The couple followed the old lady and walked around the doorstep and the beach, calling out a few times.

An hour later, they brought the child back into the house.

The old lady touched the child's forehead, cheeks, and hands, "It doesn't feel that hot anymore. You should keep an eye on him at night. He may be better tomorrow."

"Well, get some warm water later and wipe her body a few more times."

"Go back to your room and sleep. We'll be watching you."

"This kid is usually easy to deal with, but when he comes suddenly, he can be quite troublesome. You guys should keep an eye on him."

After saying this, the old lady went back to her room. It was the late night and if she stayed here she would be of no help and would only cause trouble.

The couple lay back in bed, just touching the child from time to time, and remained half asleep and half awake until dawn.

After the sky brightened and their body temperature dropped completely, they could take a nap in peace. When they heard movement outside, they got up again.

The whole family knew that Ye Xiaoxi had a fever again at night. The old lady even went to call her soul back to her, and they all hurried over to show concern.

Although Ye Xiaoxi's fever had subsided, she felt listless again. Although she was happy that so many people came to see her and cared about her, she couldn't muster the energy for a moment.

After breakfast, the couple stayed with her and continued to sleep.

When she woke up again, it was already noon. She was suddenly well again and could jump around again.

The couple weren't sure whether she was really well this time or just pretending to be well, they just tried to observe her and touched her forehead from time to time.

I didn't dare to sleep well at night because I kept touching myself, but I had a good night and didn't have a fever again.

But although the child was better, the couple didn't have a good night's sleep and could only make up for it during the day.

After another day of confirmation, they were relieved to find that the patient had no fever.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang have been particularly sensible these days. When the old lady cooks, they help to light the fire, pick vegetables, wash clothes, and sweep the floor. They don't run around and they buy delicious food for Ye Xiaoxi every day to make her happy.

They also felt guilty, especially Ye Chenghu. He felt that if he hadn't deliberately teased his sister that day, his sister would definitely not cry so miserably, and later run away from home. He was also scared.

"Sister, are you really okay? No more fever?
"I'm fine now. I don't have a fever anymore."

"Then I'll buy you some marshmallows later..."

"I'll buy you some popcorn."

"Popcorn causes internal heat, and she just can't eat it," Lin Xiuqing corrected.

Seeing the rare harmony among the three siblings, she was also relieved.

Pei Yu was peering out of the door, followed by two little followers. "Is my sister okay? Can we go play with her?"

She brings the twins here every day.

But Lin Xiuqing was afraid that Ye Xiaoxi's illness had not recovered and would infect them, so she asked her to take her brothers to find other people to play with. However, she still ran over early every morning to look in and ask a few questions.

Ye Xiaoxi didn't wait for Lin Xiuqing to speak and ran out directly, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I can go out, let's go, let's go quickly..."

"That's great, sister, you've recovered from your illness. Let's take brother to catch crabs."

Ye Yaodong called Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang to go with him to keep an eye on things.

The two brothers followed quickly.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Now that I'm well, I don't know what to do next. Every time I go to the beach, I either bury my brother's legs or his arms, or I bury them while they're lying down or lying on their stomachs. If I don't bury them, I'll put a circle of stones around them."

"I'm not afraid of her quarreling, I'm just afraid of her not quarreling. She's been sick these past two days and it's been really annoying."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he looked at the calendar. Today was already the 4th, the th day of the lunar calendar.

It feels like a week has passed and I haven't done anything since I came back.

I definitely can't travel far on the day after tomorrow, the fifteenth. Tomorrow is too rushed. There is no time on the day after tomorrow, the sixteenth. The seventeenth is the beginning of winter, so I need to eat some tonic food.

He looked through the books again and again, and found that only the 18th was suitable for traveling far away, and at most he could leave early in the morning.

This means he has to stay at home for another 5 days.

It's a bit long.

"Have you read it? When are you going to leave?"

"Take a look and see which day is suitable in the near future."

Lin Xiuqing started flipping through the calendar and after reading it, she came to the same idea as him.

"It's all because of the kids, otherwise I could have gone up there a few days earlier to make some money."

"No matter how important money is, it's not as important as children. Let's just wait a few days. I'll talk to the others later. Those who are in a hurry to leave can leave tomorrow."

In the past few days, some people have come to ask him when he will go up. They are all close to him. Those who are not close to him have asked his father.

He always told them that if the children at home were sick they should go later, and let them decide for themselves. If they wanted to go up earlier they could leave early and he shouldn't be the one to worry about it.

But they all continued to wait there.

He is the backbone now. If he doesn't move, no one else dares to move.

"I'll buy some meat, cakes, and canned fruit later. While your daughter is getting better today, why don't you take her to become a disciple? I've been playing the erhu so many times these past two days that my ears are already callused."

"Didn't you read it today? Let's check it later. If you didn't read it, forget it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiaoxi ran back.

"Mom, Dad, can I go see Grandpa Erhu today? You promised me that I would go after I get better."

Lin Xiuqing gave Ye Yaodong a helpless look and said, "See."

Other things can be forgotten, but how could she forget what I promised her?
"I'll ask your mother to go shopping later, and then I'll take you there after she buys the things."

"Great, that's great. What about my erhu? Did Grandpa Gan buy it?"

"I don't know. Weren't you sick these past two days? I've been taking care of you, and I didn't go to the city. Don't worry. Grandpa Erhu has an erhu. You can use his."

Ye Xiaoxi nodded happily, "Okay, okay, sister, I will take you to play the erhu later. It sounds so beautiful and amazing."

She was still humming and shaking her head.

Ye Yaodong added: "We have canned dried fish at home, let's give them two boxes as well."

"I know. I'll take whatever I have at home depending on the situation."

Ye Yaodong walked over and touched her head, "I wish my memory could be this good in school."

"I'm going out to play, mom, remember to call me."

I have been coughing for three days. The New Year is coming, so everyone should keep warm.

I went out shopping today, so there isn't much to update. I'll add another chapter tomorrow afternoon.
