Du Mingxian truly admired Liu Ya for raising such a fool.

"That won't work, it won't light. I'm telling you, you do it."

"it is good."

After the doctor took Liu Ya's pulse and prescribed medicine, Jiang Liting finally started the fire under Du Mingxian's guidance, and he smiled like a child.

Ling Silang took the prescription, and Du Mingxian turned to look at the doctor, asking Jiang Liting, "The doctor has finished his consultation; please pay the consultation fee."

Jiang Liting was embarrassed. "These things have always been kept by Ya. I don't know where they are."

Du Mingxian felt that without Liu Ya, Jiang Liting would definitely have died from her illness. She turned around, paid the doctor's consultation fee, thanked him, and then Ling Silang saw her off.

"I'll make her pay you back once she wakes up."

Du Mingxian took the prescription from Ling Silang and stuffed it into Jiang Liting's arms. "This is the doctor's prescription. Go get the medicine now and brew it for Sister Liu Ya when you come back."

"it is good."

Jiang Liting took the things and left. This time, Du Mingxian didn't even remind him. This guy is really pathetic. He just said that he didn't have any money on him. He just took the prescription like that. Who would give it to him?

Ling Silang also noticed, "I'll go check on him."

"it is good."

After the two men left, Du Mingxian closed the Jiang family's door and went to the workshop to ask for leave for the two women. They hadn't been there for several days last time, and the other party was still unhappy about it.

When she returned after taking leave, both of them came back, and the door to the back room was open.

Ling Silang stood in the back room directing Jiang Liting to brew the medicine.

Jiang Liting was extremely busy, but she was very careful in everything she did, afraid of spilling the medicine.

Du Mingxian was relieved to see this, and then reminded her, "We also need to cook some porridge. Sister Liu Ya will need to eat something after she takes her medicine."

"Mm." Ling Silang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Du Mingxian went in to check on Liu Ya; her fever had gone down a little, but she was still unconscious.

When Jiang Liting finished brewing the medicine and came over, Liu Ya had just woken up.

"Mingxian." Liu Ya had just woken up, her head was still spinning, and she found herself in bed. Before she could react, she saw Du Mingxian.

"Sister Liu Ya, you scared us to death! Thank goodness you've woken up." After saying that, Du Mingxian touched her forehead again. She still had a fever, but it wasn't as hot as when she was first found to be in the morning.

Liu Ya didn't pay attention to what Du Mingxian was saying. She had already realized that she was on Jiang Liting's bed and struggled to get up. "No, I can't be here."

Du Mingxian reached out and pressed the person down, "You just had a fever, and you still have a fever. Lie down and rest."

"But……"

Before Liu Ya could finish speaking, Jiang Liting came in carrying a bowl, her fingers moving as she walked, clearly indicating that it was a bit hot.

"Brother Jiang." Liu Ya said, trying to get out of bed, but she didn't have much strength. She fell down as soon as she moved. Du Mingxian supported her, "Sister Liu Ya, you should lie down."

Liu Ya still wanted to move, but Du Mingxian had already gotten up and said to Jiang Liting, "Sister Liu Ya doesn't have much strength right now, why don't you give her her medicine?"

"Okay." Jiang Liting quickly sat down on the edge of the bed, her eyes full of heartache as she looked at Liu Ya. "I just made it, it's very hot, you drink it."

Liu Ya was deeply moved by these words. Seeing that the bowl was very hot, she hurriedly said, "Put the bowl by the bed. You need to hold the pen with your hand. You can't get burned."

Du Mingxian patted her forehead, feeling that Liu Ya was beyond saving.

“Sister Liu Ya, you didn’t get up this morning. I came to knock on the door and found that you had a fever, so I asked him to carry you to bed, but... he couldn’t carry you.”

“The imperial examination requires you to stay in the examination hall for several days, eating, drinking, relieving yourself, and sleeping there. Moreover, the examination will be held at the beginning of next spring, before the weather has warmed up. You have taken such good care of him, yet his body is still so weak.”

"Even with the best knowledge, without good health, one probably wouldn't be able to persevere."

Liu Ya wanted to say something more, but then she remembered how Jiang Liting had acted the same way during his previous exams. Every time he came out of the exam room, he would faint at the door and then need to recuperate for more than a month before he could get out of bed. After that, he would need to take good care of himself and get well.

"But he doesn't know how to do these things, he can't do them."

"If you can't do it, just learn. My husband can do all these things. When you were sick, he didn't even know how to start a fire, but he can still brew medicine, right?"

Liu Ya stared at the medicine in shock, then at Jiang Liting, "You brewed this?"

"Yes, I'm not very good at it. Brother Ling told me how to do it, and I followed his instructions." Jiang Liting was still a little embarrassed.

Du Mingxian didn't want to stay at the Jiang family's house any longer, but she didn't forget to remind them, "Sister Liu Ya isn't in good health right now. She used to take care of you, so you need to learn to take care of her too."

"She's sick today, and you can't do anything. If someone like you becomes an official in the future, you probably won't be a good one. You won't understand the suffering of the people, so how can you help them solve their problems?"

Jiang Liting fell into deep thought.

Du Mingxian added, "Sister Liu Ya, some things aren't necessarily good for him just because you think they're good for him. In fact, they might be harming him. You should take good care of yourself. I'm going back now. I've already asked for leave for both of us at the workshop."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, I'll head back now."

When Du Mingxian came out, Ling Silang was standing at the door of the back room. He pointed inside, and she immediately understood. She turned around and said to the inside, "I remember there's still porridge cooking in the pot."

“Oh, okay,” Jiang Liting replied.

After Du Mingxian and Ling Silang returned to their room, it was still early, around ten o'clock in the morning.

"Let's go for a walk."

"Okay."

The two locked the door and left. When they left, Jiang Liting was serving porridge in the back room.

It had been a long time since they had walked side by side like this, and Du Mingxian really enjoyed the feeling.

"Go home and visit."

"it is good."

The two walked slowly around the street for several hours, and when they found that no one was following them, they started to head home.

Chen Ming and the others were still clearing snow in front of their house. They were very happy to see Du Mingxian and Ling Silang return.

The two exchanged a few words with everyone at the entrance before going into the courtyard.

Ling's mother and Da Zhou's mother took the children with them. It was snowing today, so they didn't go anywhere. They just chatted and looked after the children in the main room.

Hearing voices coming from the doorway, little An'an rushed out in a hurry.

The two were startled and hurriedly went to look for the little one, but he had already run out. Then they heard Du Mingxian's voice.

"Oh dear, you ran out without even putting on a coat, aren't you afraid of getting cold?"

"Mother, mother."

Du Mingxian hugged her son tightly, and An'an also clung to Du Mingxian with his little arms, unwilling to let go.

The family entered the house.

When Da Zhou found that her daughter was doing well, she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Du Mingxian chatted with Ling's mother and others for a while, and An'an clung to her, so she carried her to the kitchen.

Hongguo was cooking with Da Zhoushi in the kitchen when Du Mingxian came in. Da Zhoushi then asked Hongguo to go outside and help clear the snow.
