I don't have any recommendations this week, so I'll have to rely on everyone.
"Xiao Bei, open your mouth and eat this bone marrow."
A bone marrow went into Xiao Bei's stomach with a sizzle.
"Xiao Bei, eat some more kelp."
"I can't eat anymore."
"Then eat another bone marrow."
Another bone marrow went into Xiao Bei's stomach with a sizzle.
"Do you want more?"
"I want more bone marrow."
Zhang Xiaobao fed Xiao Bei spoonful by spoonful. He regretted putting too little bone marrow and too much kelp. Whenever he fed his sister seaweed, she would say that she couldn't eat anymore. Instead, she ate bone marrow one by one.
After eating all the bone marrow in the soup, Xiao Bei, who felt that she was not full, looked at the food in the bowl and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Brother, spare ribs."
Zhang Xiaobao quickly peeled off a piece of spare ribs and stuffed it into Xiao Bei's mouth. He wanted to say something, but he felt that it was better not to give the child any pressure when eating, so he could only hold back his words of advice and said,
"Xiao Bei, hold on for about a month and you'll be able to loosen the splint. Good luck."
"Yes, good luck." Xiao Bei did not feel uncomfortable at all with her arms in a sling. Instead, she was a little happy to find that she could be fed by her brother.
"Then you have to eat more things that are good for your body these few days. I'll look for a dying cow for you tomorrow. I'll steam bone marrow for you the next day. It'll be spicy."
"Okay, I don't want it to die of illness. Do you still want to eat kelp?" When Xiao Bei heard that she could eat cow bone marrow, her eyes lit up. She looked at the kelp that she had refused to eat just now and felt that she should compromise.
"It's fine if you don't want to eat it. It's already in the soup. Drink more soup."
"Then drink more soup. The kelp is slippery and not delicious." Xiao Bei opened her mouth and began to let her brother feed her soup.
Wang Juan watched from the side and moved her lips. "You're also exchanging benefits with your sister. Xiao Bei didn't like to drink soup in the past."
"This is called knowledge, understand? If you can't do it from the front, you can do it from the side. "Zhang Xiaobao replied and continued to feed his sister.
"Take it all back. We don't lack food. Everyone take it back and keep it for yourselves." When Xiao Bei drank a lot of soup and was about to continue drinking, a loud shout from outside the courtyard.
"Brother, something happened." Xiao Bei held a spoon in his left hand and rummaged through the bowl to see if there was any bone marrow left behind. When he heard the commotion, he reminded Zhang Xiaobao.
There was no need for Zhang Xiaobao to ask. The guard outside the courtyard came in to report.
"Young Master, Young Lady, I don't know who spread the news of Young Lady Xiao Bei's injury, but everyone who heard the news brought their belongings and ran here to give Young Lady Xiao Bei to nourish her body. We couldn't stop them."
Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment. He put the bowl of ribs on the small charcoal stove next to him and pulled Xiao Bei out. "Xiao Bei, go out and take a look. When we come back, we can drink again."
"Sure." Xiao Bei held his brother's hand and walked out with one arm in a sling. Wang Juan also brought the other little guys along.
When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Xiao Bei opened his mouth wide in shock and blinked his eyes. "Wow! They're all here to see me? "
Zhang Xiaobao lived behind the yamen. This courtyard was also close to the back door. The road in front was wider, allowing four carriages to travel together. The road behind could only allow two carriages to travel together.
At this time, not to mention carriages, even people couldn't squeeze in on this road. The commoners were all carrying things, and one couldn't see the end of the road.
Some were carrying baskets of eggs, some were carrying a piece of meat, some were carrying half a fan of pork ribs, some were holding chicken legs, some were carrying live fish and prawns in wooden basins filled with water, and some were even holding a sheep's head.
Among the sounds of "cicadas, cicadas", there were many children carrying cicadas in their pockets.
There was a wide variety of things. Anything that the commoners could think of to nourish their bodies was brought over.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Bei lowered his head and looked at his arm. He then glanced at the endless crowd and whispered to his brother, "Should I not have gotten injured?"
"Yes, I think so too. Be more careful in the future." Zhang Xiaobao, who hadn't mentioned this during the meal, happened to mention it to Xiao Bei.
At the front of the crowd were the children with physical advantages. When they saw Xiao Bei come out with his arm still in a sling, they thought it was very serious and immediately rushed over. A child who was about ten years old but much shorter than Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ran to Xiao Bei. His eyes turned red, and his nose was sour. He wanted to cry.
He blinked his eyes hard and asked Xiao Bei in a small voice, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. It hurt when I fell. Brother, it doesn't hurt anymore when you blow on it." Xiao Bei shook his head in response.
"Me and Er Sha caught a lot of cicadas for you. Now you can only eat a small piece of meat under your arm. You can't eat anywhere else. Er Sha, quickly take them out."
The child said to Xiao Bei and then turned his head and shouted. The group of children all came forward and took out the cicadas from their pockets. Some people even took out straw baskets and asked them to put the cicadas in the baskets.
They took turns to put the cicadas in the baskets. Although each child didn't catch a lot of cicadas, some only had a dozen, and some had dozens, there were too many of them. The baskets were half the height of a person, and the circumference of an arm's length were filled with cicadas just like that.
Xiao Bei, who usually knew how to socialize, couldn't handle it at this time. He looked at the big cicadas that looked a little scary and asked nervously, "Why are you giving me these things?"
"Eat them to nourish your body. You are injured. Last time in the model tourism area, you even treated us to candy. Er Sha and I knew you were injured, so we didn't know how to do anything else. So we caught these cicadas for you to eat." The child pointed at the basket with his finger and looked at Xiao Bei expectantly, asking Xiao Bei to accept it.
The other people began to come forward, wanting to give the things they brought to Zhang Xiaobao.
Wang Juan squatted down and asked Xiao Bei, "Everyone brought you the good things that they usually don't want to eat. Can you accept them?"
Uncles, uncles, aunts, listen to me. My family doesn't lack them. Yes, we don't lack them. We can't finish them. Yes, we can't finish them. Take them back. Thank you, uncles, aunts, grandparents.
I really can't accept them. "Facing such a big scene, Xiao Bei took two deep breaths and finally spoke nervously.
The commoners were used to seeing Xiao Bei and the other little fellows walking around sensibly. Now that they saw Xiao Bei's cute and obedient appearance, and then looked at his injured arm, they all felt their hearts ache. They all said that they wanted to give their things to Xiao Bei.
Zhang Xiaobao gave a look to a guard beside him and pointed at the basket of cicadas. The guard nodded and stood up, shouting to the crowd, "Everyone, be quiet. Be quiet. Listen to me. Miss Xiao Bei can't finish the things that everyone brought. The Zhang Xiaobao and Wang family appreciate everyone's kindness. Please take the things back and leave this basket of cicadas for Miss Xiao Bei to nourish her body.
When Miss Xiao Bei's injury isn't serious, everyone can go back and do your work properly. Miss Xiao Bei will be happy. After the autumn harvest, everyone can earn more money and treat Miss Xiao Bei to a big meal at the Fengwu Pavilion. "
Xiao Bei also shouted, "Yes, a big meal. I'll accept the cicadas."
The people were still hesitating and unwilling to agree. In the crowd, Luo Xiang 'er's grandfather, who had also rushed over to see Xiao Bei, played his role again.
"Folks, listen to me. Xiao Bei really can't finish the things. Why don't we take them back? After the autumn harvest, let Xiao Bei have a good meal at the Fengwu Pavilion. The food of the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang family is better than ours. Go back after seeing Xiao Bei."
Someone persuaded. When the people saw that the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang family were not going to accept the things no matter what, they could only regretfully give up the idea of giving the things. The people nearby looked at Xiao Bei before they turned around and squeezed through the walls of other people's shops.
With a smile on his face, Xiao Bei generously let everyone see. The crowd moved back and forth like this, looking at Xiao Bei before leaving.
Old Man Pi and the other two also watched from outside the crowd. The three of them were used to seeing such things happen to the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang family. If it were in Sanshui County, Xiao Bei's injured arm could be said to be a big deal. In Lu Zhou, the farthest people could travel hundreds of miles to visit Xiao Bei. After all, Xiao Bei was born in Lu Zhou.
In another place where the exit was blocked, He Yiwei looked at the people with a gratified smile. He felt that if he was injured, the people would also do the same. It was not bad to be a good official.
Li Linfu, who came out for a stroll and was brought here by the crowd, felt sour in his heart. He used to be a registrar. When he was sick, he had never seen any people come to give him things, let alone a big occasion like today. He wanted to learn from the Zhang Xiaobao and Wang family, but he did not have the chance to refuse.
It was not a serious illness. It was just a child who fell down on his arm. It was as if the sky was falling down. No wonder Feng Changgong was against them. He was jealous.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Xiao Bei, who had received many blessings, left the children who delivered the cicadas behind under the signal of his brother. He stood there and smiled at them.
When almost all the people left, Zhang Xiaobao said to the group of children, "You guys skipped class, right?"
Although they were about the same age, and some of them were even older than Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao was tall and had an official position. His words made the children feel like they were facing an adult. They did not dare to answer and looked down at the ground.
"If you all skipped class, the Headmaster of the Academy can't start classes."
"Hahahaha." The children secretly laughed. Indeed, the Headmaster of the Academy would not skip classes when all the students were gone.
"Remember to study hard in the future. From today on, the Fengwu Pavilion will buy cicadas. 20 for one coin. Use your spare time to catch them and send them to the Fengwu Pavilion to sell. Buy something you like. When the other model of the tourist area is finished, a part of the money earned will be used to give rewards to those who study hard. Thank you for your relationship with Xiao Bei. We will accept the cicadas."
Zhang Xiaobao took their things, so he naturally had to find a way to compensate them. He caught cicadas and sold them for money. A few days later, he would set up a small fund to encourage the children in the county to study hard.
Xiao Bei also said gratefully. Then the children left happily. They would have an extra income in the future.
"Brother, how do we eat it? It's scary. "Xiao Bei looked at the cicadas in the basket and asked.
