The delicate educated youth married a rough man, raised a child and became rich by practicing medici

Gu Qian, who was content with himself, received the pork and waited to eat it, while Shen Ci, who was thousands of miles away, finished his work and officially boarded the train. He had been away from home for seven years and this was the first time he went home for the New Year to recuperate from an injury.

Another person, Xin Yiren, was working overtime in the laboratory with his colleagues, just to live up to Gu Qian's help and get things done quickly.

"Grandma, is the meat almost ready?" Zhizhi lay beside the stove and watched eagerly.

"It's almost done. Don't worry. Go and warm yourself by the fire with your mom. Otherwise, the oil might splash on you." Li Ping waved her hand happily.

"Come here quickly, brother. It's warm here." Xiaoyu and Gu Qian, who are afraid of cold, huddled together at the stove to warm themselves by the fire. This is a common scene since the beginning of winter.

The three of them crowded around the stove, burning the fire while smelling the aroma of the food, which would be even more fragrant when they ate later.

"Hey, what's cooking smells so good?" The kitchen was bustling with activity, and the whole village was filled with the aroma of meat.

Cai Rongtian walked in with a bowl in his hand.

"What else can we do? They are all clamoring for meat. Let's be extravagant and make braised pork for the children today." Li Ping said with a smile.

The work points earned at home are few, so we didn’t get much meat today. We’ll just have one meal today and another on New Year’s Eve.

The meat for making dumplings still needs Shen Yue’s New Year supply and Gu Qian’s meat coupons issued by the factory.

"We've worked hard all year, so we deserve to eat something good," Cai Rongtian said with a smile. "I've also stewed some meat at home, and I'll bring it over for the kids to try."

"Oh, don't be so polite. No, no, you don't have much meat at home. Take it back and give it to the children." Li Ping waved her hand quickly. They only ate meat once a year, so it would be no big deal to give it to their family.

"My family earns a lot of work points, so the meat distributed today is quite generous. All the children in the family can get some." Cai Rongtian ignored Li Ping's refusal and directly took out a bowl to put the meat in.

"Oh, don't do this. My Shen Yue has supplies, and Shen Ci can occasionally send back a meat ticket. There are many opportunities to eat meat. You should take it back quickly." Li Ping picked up the bowl and was about to pour it back.

"Hey, don't bother with me. I'm not giving it to you. I'm thanking Gu Qian. If it weren't for Gu Qian, I wouldn't be able to pick up what I learned before, nor would I be able to join the factory.

Moreover, Gu Qian took good care of Yuhua, which solved a problem that had been bothering me for many years.

As for the herbal medicine, my family is doing well this year, all thanks to Gu Qian. I made this with my own hands, so I can't push it away." Cai Rongtian put the bowl behind him, determined not to take the bowl of meat home.

"You're still doing this. Isn't this being too formal?"

"Oh, I just want to not be so formal with you. I just remembered to thank you now. Okay, you guys can cook. I'm leaving first. My family is waiting for me." Cai Rongtian said and ran away.

"Hey, don't run. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot." Li Ping shouted from behind, but Cai Rongtian still kept running away.

"Give them some back when the meat is ready," Li Ping muttered.

"You two, go eat the meat quickly. Isn't your saliva dripping?" Gu Qian pushed the two little kids beside him who were staring at him eagerly.

"Okay, mom, I'll be obedient." Zhizhi took the lead, followed by Xiaoyu.

When Li Ping came back from outside, the two children had already eaten.

"Hey, you two little greedy cats, don't let the oil drip on you." Li Ping wiped the mouths of the two people.

"Look at Cai Rongtian. We've been neighbors for so many years, and yet he still does this."

"A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. If you send me some food and I send you some food, won't our relationship be good?" It was during this special era that every household had a hard time, so food was more expensive.

But we do exchange some things sometimes.

When life gets better in the future, it will be very common for neighbors to eat together and give each other gifts.

“You’re right, we usually send things back and forth, but I just don’t want it because it’s not easy to eat some meat.

When we make dumplings for the Chinese New Year, we can send some to his house so he can taste them." If we send them right away, it would be too deliberate.

"Okay, Mom, you decide." Gu Qian listened to Li Ping.

My mother-in-law is better at dealing with the ways of the world than I am.

There were two meat dishes at noon, and the whole family was very satisfied with the meal.

"Life is getting better and better. In the past, I never dared to think about eating meat. I was lucky to have rice to eat." Shen An said with emotion.

"That's right, our village is now living a life that is envied by people in the surrounding area." Li Ping also joined in the conversation. The family roasted sweet potatoes and listened to the two old men telling stories.

While I was drowsy and warm, there was a knock on the door.

"Gu Qian, something bad has happened. Li Caifeng and Shen Dagen have fainted." The village chief's voice sounded outside.

Gu Qian quickly wrapped himself in clothes and walked out.

"Mom and Dad, you stay home and look after the children. My sister-in-law and I will go over to take a look." Shen Yue hurriedly followed.

Gu Qian followed the village chief to Shen Dagen's house. The door was half-open and the village chief's wife Zhang Fang was looking after the two of them.

One was lying on the bed and the other was leaning on the dining table.

"Take this charcoal brazier out and open all the doors and windows." Gu Qian knew what was going on as soon as he walked into the house.

"It's so cold today. Although the house smells a bit bad, it must be a bit uncomfortable to open the windows and doors." Zhang Fang rubbed her hands and watched the charcoal brazier being taken out by the village chief.

"Auntie, don't you feel dizzy staying in the house?" Gu Qian said as he quickly pushed open the window.

"I do feel a little dizzy. Isn't it because of the unpleasant smell?" Zhang Fang rubbed her head and asked in confusion.

"If you wait any longer, you will faint. This is carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal if it's serious." Gu Qian said seriously and began to check the condition of the two people quickly.

Shen Dagen's condition is more serious.

The charcoal brazier was not far from him.

Li Caifeng is better, the charcoal basin is far away.

"Carry the person out first. We can't stay in this room for the time being." The smell in the room was too strong, and Gu Qian didn't feel comfortable staying here.

"Okay, okay." After hearing Gu Qian say that he would be poisoned, Zhang Fang and the village chief no longer hesitated.

Four people, two of them carrying one person, carried the person to the village chief's house.

"Mom and Dad, why did you bring these two people back?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief said with disgust.

"If you don't bring him back, he will almost die in that room. Your father is the village chief, how can he not take care of him?" Zhang Fang said angrily.

"Okay, you guys take care of it, we'll go back to sleep.

"Shen Peng, take the charcoal basin back to the room." Cai Nier rolled her eyes, shouted, and turned to walk into the room.

"Remember to open the window when you put a charcoal brazier in the room at night, otherwise you may get carbon monoxide poisoning, like what happened to them two." Gu Qian reminded.

"I've never heard of anyone being poisoned by putting a charcoal brazier there. It's not the first day I've put it there." Cai Ni'er didn't take this reminder to heart.

"Village chief, it's getting even colder these past few days. I suggest you go to every household and remind them that the two of them are in this state because they left the charcoal brazier with the windows and doors closed.

In severe cases, people may die, or they may suffer from dizziness, which may later affect their intelligence and physical reactions.

It's very serious and we can't ignore it." Gu Qian reminded her. She remembered that when coal was popular, there were more than one or two cases of carbon monoxide poisoning.
