The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 449
Chapter 449: Carry fourth brother 1
“Yue’er, I…” Xiao Yishan originally wanted to say that he was going to cook dinner.
She interrupted him, “Second brother, don’t get up first. If your leg becomes crippled…”
“I only injured my left leg, I can hop on my right foot…” He came up with an idea.
She disagreed, “The vibration is not good for the injury on your left leg. Second brother, your left leg is too badly injured, don’t get off the bed, don’t move around…
“Yue’er…” He wanted to say something else. She raised her eyebrows, “Listen to
‘ 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 couldn’t 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 didn’t 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, “Qingyue, dinner is ready.”
Su Qingyue said, “You eat first. After the food is packed, I’ll bring it to the second and third brothers.”
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 brother’s dinner was left in the kitchen. He said, “Bring it to the second and third brother, and I’ll wait for you to eat together.”
“Fourth brother, you really don’t have to wait for me…”
“No problem.” His gentle gaze was full of heartache when looking at her, “Qingyue, you’ve been working so hard for the family. I won’t feel at ease eating without waiting for you.”
“You really don’t have to,” she hastily said, “Fourth brother, we’re all family, it’s our duty to contribute to the household, so why worry?”
He quietly lowered his eyelids, obviously not heeding her advice.
“Wife of the Xiao Family, are you buying fresh ferns?” At this point, a person carrying a fern carrying pole entered the courtyard from outside, “I’ve come to sell ferns.”
“I’m coming!” Su Qingyue picked up the vegetable basket on the table and brought it to the master bedroom, saying in passing, “Second brother, third brother, you guys eat dinner first.”
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 wasn’t 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 hadn’t been touched. She sighed slightly, “Second brother, third brother, why were you waiting for me? It’s so late, and you’re not eating dinner. You’re injured, you’ll starve to death!”
Her tone was helpless but somewhat stern.
Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan felt their wife’s concern. Their starving bellies didn’t feel as hungry as before.
“Wife, it’s fine. If I starve until tomorrow morning, my belly will only growl, and I’ll be fine.” Yuchuan chuckled.
“Yue’er, you must be hungry.” Xiao Yishan took the food from the basket and brought it to the table, served her a bowl of rice, “Eat quickly…”
“Let’s all eat together, I’ll go and carry fourth brother over.” She brought the empty vegetable basket back to the kitchen, filled it up with her and Qinghe’s dinner, and placed it in the basket..
