Chapter 11 Changing dressing
Chapter 11 Changing dressing
Seeing Chen Guixiang's unreasonable attitude, Jiang Yuwei didn't want to argue with her any more, so she turned around and went into the house to check on Ning Huaizhi's injuries.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ning Huaizhi staring gloomily out the window. Jiang Yuwei shook her head helplessly, put down the backpack, took out a bag of medicine from it, handed it to Ning Zhao, and said with a smile:
"Zhao'er, go and make the medicine first. Mother will go out and boil it later."
Ning Zhao was very happy to see Jiang Yuwei coming back. He hurriedly took the medicine bag, took Ning Wan's hand and went out.
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Huaizhi and frowned:
"You are too unlikable as the eldest in the family. You were asked to do life-threatening work, and now that you are back alive, no one in the family is happy."
Ning Huaizhi withdrew his gaze. He had listened to every word Chen Guixiang had said. He naturally knew that he had been the unwelcome one in this family since he was a child. All the dirty and tiring work had to be done by him, and the benefits always went to the second child. If he was a little dissatisfied, Chen Guixiang would use the excuse that the second child was the younger brother and he was the older brother to fool him.
Later, Zhou Su came into the house and suffered a lot with him. Although he had no feelings for her, it was just the arrangement of his parents and the matchmaker that he did not want to disobey Chen Guixiang, so he married Zhou Su. He also had a son and a daughter with her. After the children were born, he left home to join the army. Now he came back and heard that Zhou Su had died, and he felt a little guilty towards her.
However, Chen Guixiang was not idle and found a wife for himself. However, this wife did not seem to be as submissive as Zhou Su. But it was good this way. Now he was a paraplegic. If his wife was weak, his children would suffer.
Ning Huaizhi's grudge against Jiang Yuwei was not that deep at this time, so he said:
"Thank you for buying medicine for me today. But mom is right. I will be paralyzed in bed anyway. It doesn't matter whether I get treatment or not. I can still bear this little pain. You don't have to go to town to get medicine in the future."
Jiang Yuwei glared at Ning Huai and said angrily:
"How can you just go on fighting an illness without treatment? You're not dead yet, so you give up on yourself? If you're afraid that I'll spend your mother's money, I can just find a way to earn money to treat your injury in the future."
Although Jiang Yuwei only liked Ning Huaizhi for his appearance, she really couldn't just leave a living person sick like this, not to mention that he was the biological father of their two children. No matter what, it was better to have a biological father around than not have one.
Jiang Yuwei thought about it while taking off Ning Huaizhi's clothes. Ning Huaizhi tensed up and turned his head to the side and said in a deep voice:
"Don't bother changing the dressing for me. I can do it myself."
Jiang Yuwei kept moving her hands while mumbling:
"I'm too lazy to serve you. Now that you're injured like this, don't try to be stubborn. Besides, you and I are already husband and wife, and I don't shy away from it. Why are you, a grown man, being so shy?"
When Ning Huaizhi heard Jiang Yuwei say this, he couldn't refuse anymore. He just turned his head away silently and didn't look at her.
Jiang Yuwei took out the spiritual spring water that she had prepared long ago and used it to wipe Ning Huaizhi's wound. Although she didn't know the specific function of the spiritual spring water, every time she took a bath in the spiritual spring water when she was tired from work, she felt relaxed all over, as if her blood vessels were opened.
Now I use the spiritual spring water to clean Ning Huaizhi's wounds, and then use the spiritual spring water to boil medicine for him. I also add spiritual spring water to his daily diet. I believe he will get better faster. Even if he can't get better, he won't feel so uncomfortable.
At this time, Ning Huaizhi felt Jiang Yuwei's small hands wiping and moving on his body. The wound that felt very painful before didn't seem to hurt so much now. He just felt very comfortable.
Jiang Yuwei did not notice the change in Ning Huaizhi's expression. She quickly changed the medicine for Ning Huaizhi and covered him with a blanket, then instructed:
"Sleep a little longer. I'll go out and make some medicine for you. You should focus on taking care of your body now. Don't think about other things."
After Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, she went to the kitchen, found a clay pot, built a fire in the yard and began to boil the medicine. She also called Ning Zhao and Ning Wan to help watch the fire.
I measured the bamboo that I had chopped today to the appropriate size and sawed it one by one. I also found some scraps and polished some wedges and tenons to put the bed board and legs together.
Soon, the simple bamboo bed had taken shape. Ning Zhao looked at Jiang Yuwei with admiration and said in a childish voice:
"Mom, you are so amazing. How come you can do everything?"
In her previous life, Jiang Yuwei experienced the high-tech era, the era of rampant zombies and the doomsday, so naturally she has honed her life skills to an excellent level. In addition, she is inquisitive and dexterous, so she can roughly understand most things just by looking at them, and can make anything when she starts working.
Jiang Yuwei scratched her head a little embarrassedly when she saw Ning Zhao praising her like this:
"It's no big deal. I'll make you and Wan'er a bamboo dragonfly to play with later. I guarantee you've never played with one before! By the way, Zhao'er, the medicine is ready. You can serve it to your father. Be careful, it's hot!"
When Ning Zhao heard that his mother could make rare things that he had never seen before, his eyes were full of anticipation when he looked at Jiang Yuwei. Even Ning Wan, who usually kept silent, giggled at Jiang Yuwei.
Ning Zhao carefully poured the boiled medicine into a bowl and fanned it vigorously to cool it down faster. Seeing that the medicine was no longer steaming, he took the bowl and handed it to Ning Huaizhi to drink.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei liked Ning Zhao even more. Zhao'er was a careful child. If he was raised well, he would never forget her kindness to him. After all, she was alone and helpless in this world. If she could train Ning Zhao to be a good person, she would not have to worry about being alone and helpless when she was old.
While thinking about this, Jiang Yuwei found a handy stone and pounded the bamboo bed to make it very firm. She also used the stone to smooth out the rough edges of the bamboo that might prick people. She then lit a few piles of firewood under the bed, hoping to dry the bed. Otherwise, it would be too damp and it would hurt her body if she slept on it for too long.
It is early spring now and the weather has become much warmer. This bed can only be used until this autumn at most. It would be unbearable to sleep on the bamboo bed in winter. Therefore, I must find an opportunity to separate before autumn. By then, the four of us won't have to squeeze into that small room, and I can sleep comfortably on the big kang.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei became more motivated. She picked up the remaining bamboo and made a toilet with a lid for Ning Huaizhi, which she placed in the house. Now that he had difficulty moving, it would save her some trouble if he could use the toilet in the house.
Jiang Yuwei did it right away. Relying on her memories of her previous life, she quickly made the prototype of the toilet. After polishing off the rough edges, she connected it to water and carried it into the house.
"Here, this is for you. If you have difficulty walking, you can use the toilet here."
Jiang Yuwei helped Ning Huaizhi down from the kang, put him on the toilet, and asked him to try it first. Seeing him staring at her with an embarrassed look on his face, she said awkwardly:
"I know, I know. You are so particular. Go ahead and call me when you are done."
After saying that, he walked out and considerately closed the door for Ning Huaizhi.
