Wear It with Space - Chapter 6

The next day, Shen Ling got up early to make a new meal. She would add a new meal almost every few days. Otherwise, the students in the academy would get bored sooner or later.

Today she made shortbread with mung bean filling. Some students don’t want to go out to buy food at night, and sometimes they buy more food at her place at noon and save it for dinner. Shen Ling thought that the shortbread would be delicious when it was chilled, not only for dinner but also for supper.

Shen Ling made dozens of shortcakes in succession, and made some pies and waited for more food before he heard the sound of opening the door from the west wing. She thought that Da Ya had fallen asleep by mistake, so she shouted at the door, “The pie is ready, come and eat two of you first!”

“Mother, go and check it out! Sister has a fever.” As soon as Shen Ling’s voice fell, Er Ya ran into the kitchen with a panic expression on her face.

Shen Ling hurriedly lowered his waist, and hurriedly walked towards the west wing.

On the small bed to the west of the West Wing, Da Ya lay there groggy, Shen Ling walked up to try her hand, and saw that her forehead was very hot, she had a fever as expected.

She hurriedly asked Er Ya to take a basin of cold water, took out a cotton cloth and soaked it in the cold water, then wrung out and put it on Da Ya’s forehead. After doing all this, she went to the East Room to talk to Song Changsheng, and went to the doctor without mentioning it.

After the doctor arrived, he said with a pulse: “It’s nothing serious, just a little bit of wind and cold. I prescribe a few pills and take it. It’s just that it’s best to raise it in bed these few days to make up for wasting fatigue.”

After the doctor prescribed a prescription, Shen Ling went to the town to get the medicine. When I came back, boiled the medicine and brought it to the west wing, Da Ya was burning in a daze, and she kept calling her mother there.

Shen Ling went to help her get up and drink the medicine, but she grabbed her right hand and screamed, “Mother, don’t go, don’t go…”

Shen Ling knew that she was thinking about her mother, so she couldn’t help but think that she used to be sensible and well-behaved like a little adult, but she was still a child, and she wanted her to be by her side during her illness.

She rubbed the top of Da Ya’s hair, and whispered: “My mother is here, mother is not going.” After saying more than a dozen times, Da Ya released her right hand, but quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes again. .

Shen Ling softly coaxed her to drink the medicine, helped her lie down, tucked her bed, and saw that she was asleep before gently pulling out the corner of her clothes from her hand.

At night, Da Ya’s fever subsided. Shen Ling couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. When she returned to the East Room to sleep, Song Changsheng asked her, “Are you going to the county town tomorrow?”

Shen Ling said: “I’m thinking about this too, I want to go but I’m worried about Da Ya.”

Song Changsheng said, “Dah, did she spend a lot of money this time on her illness?”

Shen Ling said, “It cost a few hundred dollars.” It took Song Changsheng to buy medicine and cloth for almost two taels of silver. This time he spent hundreds of dollars on medical treatment and medicine, and almost ran out of her belongings. .

Song Changsheng said, “Well, you should go to the county town tomorrow. As for the big girl, I will take care of it. My legs are much better now than before. There should be no problem taking care of big girl.”

Shen Ling thought for a while and said, “It can only be done like this.” It is now when the family needs money. If they don’t go to the county seat, they will be even more unable to make ends meet.

The two had negotiated, so they went to bed early.

At dawn, Shen Ling got up and boiled a pot of corn porridge, and then began to make medicine for Daya. When she brought the corn porridge and medicinal soup to the West Wing, Er Ya was still sleeping soundly, but Da Ya was already awake.

Shen Ling put the medicinal soup on the table, took the bowl of corn porridge and brought it to Da Ya, “Come on, drink some porridge before drinking the medicine.”

Daya sat up slowly, sips halfway through the porridge, and saw the two poached eggs lying underneath.

Shen Ling said: “Eat it, it’s for you to replenish your body.”

Xu Ye’s tone was very soft, and the big girl’s nose was sour, she couldn’t help but think of her own mother, and couldn’t help but yell, “Mother.”

Although Shen Ling had heard Da Ya call her mother countless times before, she had never been so affectionate and sincere. She smiled slightly and said, “Stupid boy, mother is here!”

A few days later, Da Ya’s wind and cold will heal. At the same time, her favorability value for Shen Ling rose directly from 50 to 80.

It wasn’t long before Shen Ling was happy that he heard a bad news. The cook from Bailu Academy is coming back from her hometown soon.

That night, Shen Ling talked about it with Song Changsheng and asked him what he thought of it.

Song Changsheng thought for a while and said, “Don’t go out for food before you get there, my legs are almost healed.”

Shen Ling’s original intention of going out to sell food was to improve the economic conditions of the family. Now that he has made a surplus of more than two taels of silver after more than a month, the family is also a little more affluent, and the original goal has been achieved. Now that Song Changsheng said this, she smiled and said:

“Then listen to you, so you won’t have to do so much work in the future.”

After half a month, after the cook from Bailu Academy came back, Shen Ling stopped going to the county to sell food. Song Changsheng’s leg injury was completely healed, and he took a job under the introduction of an acquaintance. It’s just that the person who wants to buy furniture is a little far away from Liuxi Village. If he wants to take up this job, he has to live there.

Song Changsheng only hesitated at the time, and then he agreed.

It was a sunny day when he set off. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Shen Ling at the entrance of the village, “I will go here for as little as ten days or as long as half a month. Your mothers must close the door at night and don’t let people in easily.”

Shen Ling nodded and said: “I see, I have written down everything you said.”

Then Song Changsheng glanced at Da Ya and Er Ya, “I will leave the two children to you.”

Shen Ling said: “Don’t worry, I will take good care of her two people.”

If before, Song Changsheng might be a little worried that his two daughters will have a hard time after he leaves home, but in the past two months, he has seen Shen Ling’s changes, knowing that she is now treating her two daughters and her biological Not bad anymore.

So he smiled softly at Shen Ling: “Then I’m leaving.”

Shen Ling didn’t take his two daughters home until he could no longer see him.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, Shen Ling refuses to let the two little girls go out and hug the pig grass. Anyway, just cutting some melon leaves in the vegetable field is enough for the pigs.

The two little girls returned to the West Wing to pick up the needlework on the table. Now Shen Ling is teaching them to do needlework. Da Ya can sew some simpler clothes, but Er Ya is worse, but she is still young. , No one would say her.

After Shen Ling fed the pigs and chickens, he went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of mung bean soup. When the clothes were washed, the mung bean soup was ready, and she served a bowl for the two little girls, and drank a bowl for herself.

At lunch, she heated up a few vegetable pancakes, and then served a bowl of cold mung bean soup.

Shen Ling felt that it was a pity to feed the chicken with the mung beans left in the pot, so he smashed them with a rolling pin to make some shortbread cookies with mung bean filling.

Daya and Erya came back from picking firewood in the evening and ate crispy shortbread cookies. Erya took a bite and said: “Mother, this shortbread you made is so delicious. Last time I secretly left half of the shortbread and tiger baby. Change to his melon. He said that your shortbread is better than the ones sold in town.”

Shen Ling said: “I know you have a sweet mouth, there are two more under the stove, you can take it out and share it with your friends!”

Er Ya left with a cheer, leaving behind Da Ya to help Shen Ling cooking. After hesitating for a long time, Da Ya finally said, “Mother, I heard people say that the hawkers in town who carry the burden and sell food. How can there be a profit of dozens of dollars in one day.”

After hearing this, Shen Ling couldn’t help but look back at her, “Dah, what do you want to say, just say it straight.”

Da Ya bit her lip and said, “Mother, I think it’s a pity that you lost your previous business. Or let’s make some food and sell it!”

Shen Ling understood that when she was selling food before, the family ate well, and she made a new dress for everyone, which made the big girl realize the benefits of being rich.

Shen Ling couldn’t help but said seriously: “Do you really think so?”

The big girl nodded and said: “Well, I also mentioned this to Erya. Mother, we can help you. If you make money at that time, Dad won’t have to work so hard in the future.”

Shen Ling thought for a while and said, “In this case, starting from tomorrow, I will teach you to cook some food.”

Da Ya didn’t understand, Shen Ling said, “When you learn, wouldn’t the two of us do it faster than alone.”

Da Ya smiled: “Okay, I listen to my mother.”

When Song Changsheng returned home more than half a month later, Da Ya would already do a lot of food.

Song Changsheng earned a total of more than two taels of silver these days when he was away. In the evening, Shen Ling made a large table to eat, and the family ate a meal happily.

During the dinner, Shen Ling looked at the smiles on the faces of the three people, feeling very satisfied. The three-month mission time has come. Song Changsheng’s leg injury not only improved, but he also went out to make a fortune. Da Ya also learned almost the needlework and cooking skills, and he was considered as a complete meritorious service.
