47 Chapter 47 Instructions
After everything was done, Gu Chengrui brought a stool over and gently placed Qian Jiaxing’s injured leg on it.
Finally, he washed his hands and turned to Qian Jiale, sitting limply by the brick bed. “Uncle Jiale, where are uncle Jiaxing’s family members? Do you need me to give them some instructions on cleaning his wounds?”
“He should be here soon. He was injured on the mountain and I’ve already sent someone to inform his family.”
Just as Qian Jiale finished his words, a dog’s bark came from outside, and Zhou Ying immediately turned around and headed out.
When she went out, she saw a burly wild dog they had taken in, raising his tail and barking at the two men at the door. They were Qian Jiaxing’s father and brother, the carpenter who had helped repair their roof.
“Er Zhuang, go back to the shed,” Zhou Ying immediately shouted.
Although Er Zhuang didn’t bark out again, he didn’t intend to step aside. She had no choice but to walk over and pat him on the head. “Let’s go home. I’ll make you something delicious later.”
Er Zhuang lowered his head and whimpered twice. The dog turned around and ran into the small nest in the woodshed.
Without waiting for Zhou Ying to speak, Mr. Qian’s father asked, “Ying, I heard that your uncle Xing is here for treatment. How’s his injury?”
“Fourth Grandpa Qian, Uncle Jiaqiang, don’t worry. Uncle Jiaxing’s bone fracture will be healed in two to three months.” Zhou Ying said as she led them into the house.
“That’s good.” Fourth Grandpa Qian heaved a sigh of relief.
After entering the house, Gu Chengrui greeted them and brought them to the brick bed. “Fourth Grandpa Qian, Uncle Jiaqiang, don’t worry. Uncle Jiaxing’s injuries are not severe.
“However, he has to take good care of himself for about a month, and it would be best if he didn’t do any heavy work before the new year.
“Also, although the injury is not severe, it will still be very painful for the next three days. You have to take good care of him and don’t let him get injured again.
“In addition, it’s best not to walk for half a month.
“It’s best to hang his leg as high as possible to reduce the pain and speed the recovery.”
“Does he need to take any medicine?” Fourth Grandpa Qian nodded and asked.
“Take some medicine for the first three days. It can stabilize the injury and reduce the pain at the same time.
“If he has a fever, remember to inform me.” Gu Chengrui said after he was done with the treatment. “Have a seat, and I’ll get the medicine now.”
After saying that, he turned around and went to the west room.
Zhou Ying handed over two stools and said, “Fourth Grandpa Qian, Uncle Jiaqiang, please take a seat.”
“Ying, you go and do your stuff. We will return after getting the medicine as there are still many things to do at home.” Fourth Grandpa Qian said.
“Sure. Then you guys can have a chat with Uncle Jiaxing.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and went to the kitchen.
For lunch, they had steamed fish, which Er Zhuang couldn’t eat. So, she went to the kitchen, took half a pound of minced meat from her interspace, and cooked a small bowl of meat porridge with crushed rice.
At the same time, she took out a three-pound carp from her interspace, sliced it, and marinated it.
When she was almost done, Gu Chengrui walked in and said, “Babe, you’re pretty fast.”
“That’s right. By the way, what else do you want to eat other than the steamed fish?”
“I’ll leave it to you to arrange. I’ve been eating too clean during this period of time, so I’m craving something rich.”
“Alright, you watch the fire. I’ll get the ingredients ready.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took out a giant blue crab, about a pound in weight, and some crispy lotus roots from her interspace.
After they were washed, the blue crab was steamed in the pot, and a dipping sauce was made by mixing purple perilla leaf and ginger.
After the crisp lotus roots were soaked in water, she stir-fried them with scallion, ginger, garlic, red pepper, salt, soy sauce, and white sugar.
Finally, when the porridge was ready, she asked Gu Chengrui to bring the porridge to the shed and give it to Er Zhuang.
Then, the two of them worked together to make the steamed fish.
