After Shi Qingluo took a shower, Xiao Baili also finished cooking the meal.

Stir-fried tofu, wild vegetable steamed bread, and an egg drop soup. The food was very simple.

Shi Qingluo ate tastelessly. Xiao Hanzheng was also very calm, but Mrs. Kong and the two children ate very happily.

Shi Qingluo looked at Xiao Baili and asked: “Before you were in the main house, were you able to eat enough?”

Xiao Baili replied: “No, my mother and I cook the most, but our share is the least.”

“But when my eldest brother came home from school in the county, we can barely eat enough.”

Their current life was something they didn’t dare to think about before: “Even if we could only eat wild vegetables and steamed buns before, we were very satisfied.”

Xiao Hanyi also nodded his head: “That’s right, we never ate eggs or meat, let alone full when the eldest brother was away.”

When their eldest brother was there, he will ignore the ugly faces of other people and take the initiative to serve them food.

Shi Qingluo felt sad when she heard what the two said.

The people in the Xiao family’s old house were heartless.

She smiled and said proudly: “In the future, I will bring you delicious and spicy food, and let you eat everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water.”

Xiao Hanyi cheered: “Sister-in-law is so kind!”

Xiao Baili and Mrs. Kong also had expectant smiles on their faces.

Watching the little wife made his mother and younger brothers and sisters so happy and looking forward to it.

Xiao Hanzheng’s original empty feeling of loneliness in his previous life seemed to be gradually being filled.

After eating, Xiao Baili tidied up and washed diligently.

Shi Qingluo was not good at cooking, nor did she like to do housework, so she didn’t rush to do it.

Mrs. Kong took out a purse and sat in the yard to embroider.

During Xiao Hanzheng’s coma, the family’s food and money were robbed by those two shrews, and she made ends meet by embroidering purses and collecting medicines.

It was only later that the medicine became more and more expensive, and she really couldn’t afford that much money, so she went to the village to borrow it.

Xiao Hanyi went out to play. Xiao Hanzheng called Shi Qinglou back to the room.

He handed a stack of straw paper on the table to Shi Qingluo: “I wrote an opening chapter, you can see if it works.”

He copied books for several years, and after becoming an official in his previous life, he also liked to read all kinds of miscellaneous books, but he had never seen such a book for cultivating immortals.

But because of discussions with Shi Qingluo, she gave him a lot of inspiration and plots.

He was unfamiliar with writing such a story at the beginning but got the feeling as he wrote it.

Shi Qingluo took it and read it from the beginning.

After reading it, she looked up in amazement, and said to Xiao Hanzheng: “Old Xiao, your talent is too strong.”

“The story is written smoothly and has a strong sense of substitution. I think it is well written.”

She had heard that Xiao Hanzheng was a genius in reading, but she never thought that he was so talented in writing scripts.

If she were to write, she would not be able to write such an effect, and her writing must be very plain.

However, Xiao Hanzheng’s writing has some characteristics of this era and the writing style of the script, which was more acceptable to readers.

She thinks that by now, Xiao Hanzheng can become a god by writing novels.

Hearing her praise, Xiao Hanzheng had a smile on his brows and eyes: “Then it seems that we can continue writing?”

Shi Qingluo nodded, “Of course, but there are two things that can be modified, it might be better.”

Xiao Hanzheng asked: “Which two?”

Shi Qingluo pointed out the problem and suggested how to change it.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, “What you said makes sense, I’ll revise it.”

After speaking, he sat down and start revising.

Shi Qingluo sat next to him, bored, while watching him write.

Then she found that Xiao Hanzheng’s handwriting was not only beautiful but also very strong, not like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy could write.

Old Xiao looks like a gangster at this moment.

Sure enough, she was right to invest in advance.

Xiao Hanzheng finished the revision quickly, Shi Qingluo read it again: “It’s much better this time, you have the talent for writing story books.”

She smiled and said, “But don’t be obsessed with it, just take time to write. I’m still waiting to hug your thigh.”

Xiao Hanzheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Okay, I will focus on the imperial examination, and I will give you a thigh to hug in the future.”

Ahem, why do these words sound so wrong and ambiguous?

His little wife will only need to hug his thigh in the future, so he has to work harder to do it all over again.

Shi Qingluo nodded in satisfaction: “Old Xiao, we will rely on you, I believe you can do it.”

Proper encouragement and trust were still necessary.

Xiao Hanzheng looked into Shi Qingluo’s eyes with a hint of warmth, “Then I thank you for your trust first.”

The two discussed the plot again, Xiao Hanzheng continued to write, and Shi Qingluo went to bed first.

In the early hours of the morning, when Shi Qingluo heard movement outside, she knew that Mrs. Kong and the others got up to make tofu.

She also got up quickly and walked out.

At this moment, Mrs. Kong was carrying the soybeans to take the two children to grind.

Seeing Shi Qinglou get up, she smiled and said, “Why don’t you sleep more?”

Shi Qinglou replied: “I went to bed early last night, so I’m not sleepy anymore.”

“You guys go first, and I’ll come over after I wash up.”

A mother-in-law like Mrs. Kong was wonderful.

Mrs. Kong nodded: “It’s okay, take your time.”

After dawn, the tofu was ready, and Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi to exchange tofu at the gate of the yard.

With Xiao Hanzheng sitting in the yard watching over her, she was at ease.

So she went to the town with Mrs. Kong.

Shi Qingluo carried a basket on her back and put the medicine dregs from the backyard and the unfinished medicine from the previous two days in it.

Xiaxi Village was not too far from the town, it takes more than half an hour to walk.

It takes about two-quarters of an hour to walk from the town to the county seat.

The two went directly to the medicine hall.

This was also the only pharmacy in the town, and its main customers were villagers.

As soon as Mrs. Kong entered, Doctor Shi’s apprentice greeted her with a smile.

“Have you finished taking the medicine you bought a few days ago?”

Mrs. Kong nodded: “Yes.”

Then following this person into the inner hall, Shi Qingluo saw a middle-aged man in his forties, who was seeing a patient.

There were several people lined up in front of them, and they looked like they were from the village.

After seeing other patients.

Doctor Shi smiled and asked Mrs. Kong politely: “After your son woke up, is there any discomfort in the past few days?”

Mrs. Kong looked a little sad, “He didn’t feel any discomfort after waking up, but his body was very weak, and he has difficultly getting out of bed.”

She sighed, “I don’t know if he is okay.”

Doctor Shi’s eyes flickered, “He’s been in a coma for so many days, and he had a persistent high fever, it’s normal for the body to feel weak. It’s good that he could wake up.”

“He still needs to take some medicine for a while.”

Mrs. Kong reluctantly pulled out a smile: “Okay, then take the medicine for a while, and I will trouble Doctor Shi to prescribe it for three days first.”

Every time she comes here, she will buy medicines for three days.

Doctor Shi nodded, picked up a pen and began to write the prescription, and then asked the apprentice to take the medicine.

Shi Qingluo looked at the unreliable appearance, even if it was just a tonic, could he take it casually?

Shouldn’t doctors first look, hear, and ask, what was wrong, and then prescribe the right medicine?

This doctor not only has a bad character but was also very irresponsible towards his patients.
