Become a burden in a period novel
Chapter 174 Breakfast
The next morning, Aunt Luo got up early to cook. Hearing the noise, Yang Mingye and Qin Jingchu also got ready.
However, as soon as Yang Mingye made a move, he was stopped by Qin Jingchu.
"Don't be so stubborn. It's more important to heal your wound. I'll go get you some water to wash up, and by the way, see if your aunt needs any help."
"I'm fine." The injuries on his body had almost healed, except for his legs, which were still injured. He was completely able to get up.
"Are you okay? If you're okay, why don't you get up and walk around?" Qin Jingchu mocked him directly, "If you keep doing this, it seems like I really don't want your leg anymore."
"I didn't. Okay, okay, I won't get up." Yang Mingye said as he was about to lie down again.
Qin Jingchu immediately went over and helped him sit down, then took a winter quilt from the cupboard and placed it behind him.
"Lean on it for a while, I'll go out first and come to help you later." After saying that, he took a newspaper from the side and handed it to Yang Mingye to help him pass the time.
Seeing how attentive he was, Yang Mingye could only let him do what he wanted.
He was really not used to being taken care of like this. Since he was very young, he had always taken care of himself, but now he could only lie in bed and be taken care of by others.
Qin Jingchu quickly tidied his clothes, smoothed his hair with his hands, then picked up his toiletries and prepared to go out to wash up.
Watching his movements, Yang Mingye's eyes were filled with envy. He didn't know if he could walk again in the future, nor did he know what he could do in the future.
The army leader said that he would arrange a job for him, but the job would depend on how he could recover.
He wanted to recover as quickly as possible so that he could go to work and get a salary to support his family. He was so old, he couldn't just be supported by his mother.
"Xiao Qin, you're up. Why didn't you rest for a while?" Ever since meeting Qin Jingchu, the name Xiao Qin became his, and Aunt Luo began to call Qin Wangshu "Wangshu".
Aunt Luo got up to make breakfast, but she didn't expect Qin Jingchu to get up so early. She was used to it, and couldn't sleep at this time. They were so tired from riding in the car these days, and she wanted them to have a good rest.
Especially Wangshu, who accompanied them there and back again, and also had to cook for them. Now that she is back, she wanted her to rest more.
"Well, we have to get up early for training in the army, we are used to it." Qin Jingchu took the washing tools and went to the kitchen, "Auntie, I will brush my teeth and wash my face first, please wait for me, I will come to help you when I am done."
"No, there's not much work to do." Aunt Luo refused, "Just go wash up, I'll prepare breakfast soon."
They had been taken care of by Qin Jingchu all the way. Now that they were home, how could he keep the guests busy?
"Aunt, I'll wash up quickly and be here in a moment." Qin Jingchu didn't listen to Aunt Luo. He scooped up some water and went to wash his face and brush his teeth.
He and Yang Mingye were comrades-in-arms. Aunt Luo was his elder, not to mention that his sister had always been taken care of by her. How could he let his elders work while they just sat there and ate the ready-made food?
Aunt Luo thought he was listening to her, but after a while Qin Jingchu came over and sat under the stove and started to light the fire. He came really quickly and didn't even wipe the water off his face.
Knowing that he couldn't refuse, he could only let him help. Although Qin Jingchu couldn't cook, he could still light a fire and add firewood.
"Aunt, my sister hasn't gotten up yet?" Qin Jingchu saw that Qin Wangshu's bedroom door was still closed, so he knew that she probably hadn't gotten up yet.
It’s just that she lives in someone else’s house, so sleeping in is not always a good idea.
"She's exhausted from the journey, so let her have a good rest. It's hot anyway, so if she gets up, we can eat. If she can't get up, we can eat together at noon."
Qin Wangshu helped her so much along the way. Without her, Aunt Luo felt that she would not be able to go there and pick up her son safely.
"Wangshu is already a grown-up girl. It's not a good thing for her to be so lazy. If it's for her own good, I'd like to trouble you to teach her more." Qin Jingchu said this with a look of disappointment and embarrassment on her face.
"My sister and I don't have any reliable elders around us. Now that Wangshu lives in your house, please take the trouble to teach her more."
They obviously had a mother, but what did that mother teach Wangshu? She taught her to do all kinds of housework, washing clothes for the family at a young age, and cooking when she was not even as tall as a stool.
But she never taught her anything about how to behave in society. She even suppressed her own daughter and praised other people's daughters in front of outsiders.
After hearing Qin Jingchu's words, Aunt Luo knew that he was really doing this for Qin Wangshu's own good, but she didn't think Qin Wangshu needed her to teach him anything.
In Aunt Luo's opinion, Qin Wangshu doesn't look like someone who has not been taught by her elders. She is very smart and knows the ways of the world.
"Wangshu doesn't need anyone to teach her. Go to the brigade and ask everyone. Who doesn't praise her?"
Aunt Luo planned to cook some porridge and make some pancakes this morning.
"She is still young, and she still needs an elder by her side." Qin Jingchu didn't think his sister could be perfect in everything. But his sister did change a lot after coming to the Qianshan Brigade, so he was very grateful to Aunt Luo.
"Wangshu and I are destined to be together. You don't have to ask me for help like this. Is Mingye awake?"
"When he wakes up, I said I would bring him some water to wash up. He is injured, so he should rest more. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone." Not to mention that Yang Mingye's bones were broken, and the doctors dared not determine how he could recover, so he needed to rest well.
"You eat first, and I'll bring it to him," said Aunt Luo.
Soon, several pots of pancakes were made. Aunt Luo poured the cooked porridge into a large basin and prepared to bring it to the main room. Qin Jingchu quickly took the basin and carried it to the main room himself.
"Xiao Qin, you eat first. I'll go see Da Wa." She called him Da Wa again. After all, she was more accustomed to this name now that she was back home.
Qin Jingchu did not sit down to eat directly, but prepared to fill up the water bottle.
Aunt Luo saw that he was busy again and didn't say anything. She knew that even if she tried to stop him, Qin Jingchu would still do it.
When Qin Wangshu came out of the room yawning, Qin Jingchu had already filled the water tank.
Aunt Luo just came out of Yang Mingye's room with a basin of water in her hand.
"Wangshu, you're up. The meal is ready. Hurry up and wash up and come over to eat." Aunt Luo saw Qin Wangshu leave the house and hurriedly called her to eat. "Xiao Qin, don't be busy anymore. Come and eat."
Aunt Luo poured out the water in the basin she was holding, and then prepared to serve Yang Mingye some rice.
When Qin Wangshu was washing up, Qin Jingchu came over.
"Sister, you can't be so lazy." Qin Jingchu said with some regret.
Qin Wangshu had toothpaste foam in his mouth and looked at Qin Jingchu in confusion, not knowing why he said that.
"You are living in someone else's house, how can you sleep in?" Qin Jingchu frowned, "Auntie got up early in the morning to make breakfast, and you..."
"Wait a minute!" Qin Wangshu spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, "My aunt and I have a division of labor. I got up late this morning because I was too tired these days.
Brother, I know, you don't have to worry about it." After saying that, she rinsed her mouth.
"Then you have to be more diligent." Qin Jingchu felt that he was worrying a lot. After all, his sister was living in someone else's house. How could she just wait for a ready-made meal like this?
"Brother, don't worry, auntie won't mind." Qin Wangshu rinsed the toothbrush in the cup and then began to wash his face.
Aunt Luo doesn't care because of her attitude. Sister, you should also show your attitude! She may just be being polite. How can you take it seriously?
My younger sister grew up in the Wang family and has always been very perceptive. But why is it that after going to the countryside, she has become a little immature?
Qin Wangshu ignored Qin Jingchu's doubts. After putting her toiletries back in the room, she went to the kitchen to get bowls to prepare for dinner.
When Qin Jingchu saw Qin Wangshu leave, he went to the kitchen with her.
There were some things he could only say to Qin Wangshu in private and not in front of Aunt Luo and Yang Mingye.
Aunt Luo brought the meal to Yang Mingye’s bedroom.
"Big Boy, it's time to eat." Aunt Luo put the food on the table beside her and then moved the table to the bedside.
"Mom, I can do it myself." Seeing Aunt Luo was about to feed him, Yang Mingye quickly reached out his hand.
"Okay, eat by yourself." Aunt Luo handed him the chopsticks.
"You, don't worry. Didn't the army say they would arrange a job for you? Even if they don't, you can still support yourself by farming. The harvest is good now. It's not like the previous years when people would starve to death."
"Mom, I know." Qin Jingchu was eating the porridge in the bowl. It could be seen from the porridge that the family's conditions were indeed much better.
In the past, there wasn’t enough white rice to make porridge. People used corn grits or sweet potatoes to make porridge, and the porridge was very thin.
White rice is used to exchange for coarse grains, or to nourish the body when sick. Now the family can directly use white rice to cook porridge for him. In addition to improving the family's life, it can also take care of him as a patient.
"You are just too thoughtful." His father died at that time. Although he was taken care of by the country and could earn work points, he still felt that his family was in difficulty, so he joined the army as soon as he reached the age.
Now, she can earn her own food, and the allowance he sends back is kept. Even if he really needs a few years to recuperate from his injury, their family will not lack food.
But he just had a sense of crisis and couldn't lie in bed without even looking at his surroundings. He had only rested for a few days!
"Mom, I..." He was just worried about his mother. It was his mother who had been supporting the family since his father passed away. Now that he was lying down again, he had to rely on his mother to take care of him. He was really unfilial.
"You should take good care of your injuries. There are no famous doctors here, but there is a doctor named Bai in the cowshed. I heard that he is very good at medicine. I will ask him to come over tomorrow to check you out and prescribe some medicine."
"Cowshed?" Yang Mingye naturally knew who were in the cowshed. However, the last time he came back, the people in their team kept their distance from the people in the cowshed. How could they now casually ask the doctor there to help with the treatment?
"Yes, those who live in the cowshed are all poor people. Don't be prejudiced against them!" Aunt Luo reminded.
"No, Mom." Yang Mingye knew what kind of people in the cowshed were better than his mother.
One of his old leaders was demoted to the cowshed, and that old leader was kind to him.
At that time, he had just joined the army and had no way of getting close to his old leader, but he was very approachable and it was easy to be conquered by his personal charm when you came into contact with him.
But later the old leader was reported, and then I heard that he was demoted, and his children cut off ties with him.
Later I heard that someone helped and brought him back, but he didn't return to the army. Instead, he was sent to a retirement home to recuperate.
Yang Mingye inquired privately for a long time, but he still didn't know where his old leader was sent to, nor did he know how he was doing now.
Now that he saw that the people in the Qianshan Brigade could treat the people in the cowshed so well, he felt somewhat relieved.
"I won't say anything more. Just enjoy your meal." Aunt Luo took the pancake and placed it in front of her son.
Looking at the golden and oily pancake, Yang Mingye swallowed his saliva. His family's life has really improved.
In the yard, Qin Wangshu also put the cake on the table, but she and Qin Jingchu did not start eating.
"Aunt, you are so polite. Just make one portion of this meal for Mingye and we can just have a bite." This meal is too sumptuous. Whose family can eat like this?
Early in the morning, I had white rice porridge and white flour pancakes with eggs in them. I will never be able to survive eating like this again.
Yang Mingye is a patient, so it’s okay for him to eat better. They are all healthy and don’t need to eat such fine grains.
"Don't worry, brother. We don't lack that." At least they didn't lack eggs. As for fine grains, she had plenty in her space.
"Brother knows you are doing well." His sister's taller figure and plump face told him that she was indeed doing well.
"Now you can rest assured."
"Relax!" He still had to get promoted as soon as possible and take on more tasks, otherwise, if his sister continued to eat like this and Yang Mingye lost his allowance, they would probably have to eat coarse grains every day soon.
When Aunt Luo came out of Yang Mingye's room, she found that the brother and sister were just sitting at the table and not eating, so she knew that they were waiting for her.
She quickly put the bowl back in the kitchen, scooped some water to wash her hands, then walked over.
"Let's eat." Aunt Luo didn't say anything that they could eat early and didn't have to wait for her. This was the upbringing of their siblings, and she also thought it was good.
Xiao Qin was still worried about Wangshu's upbringing. With him in front of him, how could Wangshu's upbringing be bad?
Although Wangshu and his mother are almost like stepmothers, this may be a good thing. As for the daughter of her stepfather mentioned by Wangshu, she is spoiled. She will suffer in the future!
Qin Jingchu was very satisfied with this breakfast. His appetite was almost equal to that of Aunt Luo and Qin Wangshu. At first he was a little reserved and didn't dare to eat too much, but Aunt Luo understood their appetite very well and kept feeding him pancakes.
