In the main room, Fu Zai sat on a small wooden pillar, hugging the little black dog and kissing it non-stop.
After a while, Ding Qiu also came out with a blind stick.
Fu Zai immediately stood up from the wooden pier and was about to give the puppy to Ding Qiu to pet.
But he forgot that his feet were still wrapped, and he leaned forward and fell forward.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhu was right next to him, and with quick eyes and hands, he grabbed his back collar and lifted him up, preventing him from falling and aggravating his injuries.
"You two sit and play." Another small wooden post was brought to Ding Qiu. Jiang Zhu asked the two children to sit together and look at the puppy, while he knocked on the door of the east room.
Ye Anyian had been inside for a while, but there was no movement. He was afraid that Ye Anyian would fall asleep again like last time.
"That's good."
In the room, Ye Anyian was already getting dressed and answered when he heard the knock on the door.
What Jiang Zhu brought him was a newly made undergarment. The material was soft and close-fitting, and very comfortable to wear. The coat was bought last time when he went to town. It was moon white, with dark piping, and the style was simple and elegant.
He got dressed, his hair was half-dried, and he opened the door.
Jiang Zhu was standing at the door. Seeing his wet hair, he stopped him and said, "Just don't go out. I'll pour the water."
Ye Annian also knew that his illness was just right and he was not prone to wind, so he did not force himself.
Jiang Zhu went out to pour water, and he packed up the dirty clothes he had changed.
After a while, Jiang Zhu came into the room, took the dirty clothes from his hands, and took away his sweaty quilt with him.
Ye Anyian:...
He knew that Jiang Zhu would never let him wash clothes. After all, his body was very fragile. He might have to lie down for several days after going to the river, which was not worth the gain.
But before, at Lao Ye's house, he was coughing violently every day. Not only did he go to the river to bathe in the cold wind in winter, he was all burned out.
At that time, Ye Chenghe just threw a packet of brown sugar and a piece of ginger to Fu Zai and asked him to boil brown sugar and ginger water for him.
He just got through it day by day, and his vitality was really tenacious.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Zhu came in from outside with Fu Zai in his arms, and Fu Zai was holding the little black dog in his arms.
"You and Fu Zai can play in the house," Jiang Zhu said. "The rain has stopped, but the sun has not risen yet. It's cold outside. You can go out to bask in the sun at noon to relieve your illness."
"What about you?" Ye Anyian asked.
"Ding Qiu and I are preparing medicinal materials outside." Jiang Zhu said, "We have a day off today and we will go to town tomorrow."
"Okay." Ye Anyian agreed.
Jiang Zhu put Fu Zai down and went out. Ye Anian dug out a useless rag from the sewing basket at the foot of the kang.
As a student specializing in art, his hands-on ability is still very strong. He cut the rags, sewed them, and made a colorful ball of cloth.
"Wow~"
Fuzai held the cloth ball in his hand, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't get enough of looking left and right: "Brother is great!"
Ye Annian touched his head: "Take it to play with the puppy."
"By the way, have you named the puppy?"
"I got it!" Fu Zai became excited when he mentioned the name, "Brother Qiu said it's called Copper Coin."
Ye Anyian reached out and brushed the soft fur on the puppy: "It's round and round, like a copper coin."
Fu Zai chuckled, raised his little hand and threw the ball out.
Copper Coin spread out its four little feet and ran out, biting the cloth ball with a "woof" sound, then ran back to Fu Zai and handed the ball to him.
"Brother, Copper Coin is so smart." Fu Zai was surprised.
Ye Annian looked at the little black dog squatting in front of Fu Zai, wagging its tail and waiting for him to throw the ball: "It is indeed very smart."
While we were having fun, the fence door outside was knocked.
Fu Zai was very alert and immediately stopped, holding the copper coins and staring at the yard with his ears raised.
Jiang Zhu and Ding Qiu were in the courtyard. When they heard the noise, they got up and opened the door.
Through the open window, Ye Annian saw Jiang Zhu open the door, but did not see anyone standing outside. He only saw Jiang Zhu lowering his head, as if talking to someone.
Not long after, Jiang Zhu walked in: "It's Shitou, the grandson of Zhao Lizheng's family, who came to play with Fu Zai."
"Brother Shitou!" Fu Zai's eyes lit up.
A few days ago Brother Shitou said he would bring him a top to play with!
He looked up at Ye Anyian: "Brother, can I go?"
"You can't get out like this, can you?" Ye Anyian glanced at his feet with some embarrassment.
"ah..."
Fu Zai's eyes also fell on his tightly wrapped feet, and his face suddenly dropped.
He almost forgot that he couldn't walk on his feet now.
"You can play at the door." Jiang Zhu said, "Bring a chair and sit at the door."
Ye Anyian thought for a moment and nodded: "That's okay."
"Okay!" Fu Zai immediately became happy again.
The sun was getting higher outside, and Jiang Zhu no longer restrained Ye Anyian, letting him come out to bask in the sun.
Ye Annian moved a small chair and placed it under the slope outside the door. Jiang Zhu carried Fu Zai on it and sat on it.
Shitou held two wooden tops in his arms and greeted Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu: "Brother Ye, Doctor Jiang."
Ye Anyian nodded: "You guys go ahead and play. Come in and take a rest when you are tired."
Seeing that Ding Qiu didn't come out, Fu Zai asked Jiang Zhu, "Brother Qiu, can we play together?"
Jiang Zhu smiled and shook his head: "Your brother Qiu has homework to do today."
Recently, he was teaching Ding Qiu's "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". Ding Qiu had a good talent. Even if he couldn't see, he could accurately identify different herbs by relying only on touch and taste.
In the past few years, Ding Qiu has been able to identify almost a hundred kinds of medicinal materials.
"Oh." Fu Zai was a little disappointed.
But before he could feel sad for too long, a wooden top was stuffed into his arms with a stone.
Shitou waved the small whip in his hand and said to Fu Zai: "It's okay. I'll teach you how to play. When you learn how to play, you can take Ding Qiu to play with you."
Shitou is six years old this year, younger than Ding Qiu, but perhaps because of the competitiveness of children of this age, he doesn't really want to call Ding Qiu brother.
Fu Zai didn't pay attention to this. Hearing Shi Shi's words, he became happy again.
Seeing that the two children were having a good time, Ye Anyian followed Jiang Zhu into the yard.
The sun had already risen at this time, shining warmly on my body.
Ye Annian moved a small wooden pier, sat next to Jiang Zhu, and followed Jiang Zhu and Ding Qiu to pick and process herbs.
Copper Coin might have been surprised by the stone, and he was holding a whip, so he didn't follow Fu Zai and followed Ye Anyian closely.
Seeing Ye Anyian sit down, he put his little head on Ye Anyian's feet, shrugged his small nose, closed his eyes, and began to doze off while basking in the sun.
Outside the small courtyard, under the big locust tree.
The stone raised a small whip and whipped the wooden top, and the wooden top spun quickly like a little mushroom.
The sound of the whip falling on the top was clear, and Fu Zai clapped his little hands and cheered.
Shitou's face turned red after hearing this. After playing with it for a while, he handed the whip to Fuzai and asked Fuzai to try it.
Fuzai sat on the chair and twitched twice like a stone, but nothing came out. The wooden top stood there quietly and motionless.
"Your posture is wrong, let me teach you." Shitou rolled up his sleeves and came over, holding Fu Zai's little hand, and waved his whip skillfully.
But at this moment, the top placed on the ground was suddenly kicked away.
Then there was a disdainful sneer: "How stupid!"
Ye Anbai didn't know when he appeared. He was standing there with his arms akimbo, pointing at Fu Zai and cursing: "Are you a little bitch worthy of playing with a spinning top?"
Fu Zai was stunned for a moment. All the things he had been bullied by Ye Anbo at Lao Ye's house came to mind, and his face turned pale with fear.
"Coward!" Seeing his appearance, Ye Anbai laughed even louder.
He walked up to the wooden top that he had kicked away and stepped on it twice. The top was made of hollow wood pieces and was immediately broken in half by him.
But he didn't think it was enough, so he spit on it twice more, then looked at Fu Zai with a provocative expression, and threatened: "Little cripple, you can't even touch the things I've played with! Do you remember?"
