âYueâer, Iâ¦â Xiao Yishan originally wanted to say that he was going to cook dinner.
She interrupted him, âSecond brother, donât get up first. If your leg becomes crippledâ¦â
âI only injured my left leg, I can hop on my right footâ¦â He came up with an idea.
She disagreed, âThe vibration is not good for the injury on your left leg. Second brother, your left leg is too badly injured, donât get off the bed, donât move aroundâ¦
âYueâerâ¦â He wanted to say something else. She raised her eyebrows, âListen to
â He finally fell silent, not saying anything.
Su Qingyue carried Xiao Qinghe to the kitchen, where Qinghe sat on a chair in the kitchen and began to cook dinner. Although he couldnât walk with both legs, he relied on his arm strength, and moved the chair while sitting on it, which was not a problem for short distances.
Qingyue carefully brought firewood from the courtyard, so he didnât have to leave the kitchen, and he could cook in the kitchen.
By seven in the evening, dinner was ready.
Xiao Qinghe called from the kitchen, âQingyue, dinner is ready.â
Su Qingyue said, âYou eat first. After the food is packed, Iâll bring it to the second and third brothers.â
When no one was around, Su Qingyue entered the kitchen and saw a vegetable basket on the table. Inside the basket were a large bowl of rice, two rice bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, and a nearly empty bowl of fried fish.
There was also a half bowl of fried fish on the table.
One portion of vegetables had been divided into two bowls.
Obviously, her and fourth brotherâs dinner was left in the kitchen. He said, âBring it to the second and third brother, and Iâll wait for you to eat together.â
âFourth brother, you really donât have to wait for meâ¦â
âNo problem.â His gentle gaze was full of heartache when looking at her, âQingyue, youâve been working so hard for the family. I wonât feel at ease eating without waiting for you.â
âYou really donât have to,â she hastily said, âFourth brother, weâre all family, itâs our duty to contribute to the household, so why worry?â
He quietly lowered his eyelids, obviously not heeding her advice.
âWife of the Xiao Family, are you buying fresh ferns?â At this point, a person carrying a fern carrying pole entered the courtyard from outside, âIâve come to sell ferns.â
âIâm coming!â Su Qingyue picked up the vegetable basket on the table and brought it to the master bedroom, saying in passing, âSecond brother, third brother, you guys eat dinner first.â
Then she hurriedly weighed the ferns.
Some fast-moving villagers had picked bayberries to sell from the afternoon until now, and she had already collected quite a few bayberries.
The three men on the bed watched Su Qingyue busying herself like a spinning top. Since the afternoon, they had tried several times to get off the bed and help, but each time they were sternly stopped by Su Qingyue, who told them to focus on healing their injuries.
It wasnât until after nine in the evening that no more people came.
Su Qingyue wiped her sweat and walked into the master bedroom. She saw that the food in the basket by the bed hadnât been touched. She sighed slightly, âSecond brother, third brother, why were you waiting for me? Itâs so late, and youâre not eating dinner. Youâre injured, youâll starve to death!â
Her tone was helpless but somewhat stern.
Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan felt their wifeâs concern. Their starving bellies didnât feel as hungry as before.
âWife, itâs fine. If I starve until tomorrow morning, my belly will only growl, and Iâll be fine.â Yuchuan chuckled.
âYueâer, you must be hungry.â Xiao Yishan took the food from the basket and brought it to the table, served her a bowl of rice, âEat quicklyâ¦â
âLetâs all eat together, Iâll go and carry fourth brother over.â She brought the empty vegetable basket back to the kitchen, filled it up with her and Qingheâs dinner, and placed it in the basket..
