I'm Not Hungry

Lu Jiao chased her to the door, "Mom, eat something before leaving."

Mrs. Tian didn't stop and strode forward with big strides, for fear that Lu Jiao would continue to chase her.

Mrs Tian really loves her daughter. Lu Jiao's eyes were wet. Ah, mother's love is really too heavy!

Lu Jiao knew that Mrs. Tian was lying when she said that she had something to do. She still had time to have a meal. She did this to save food for them instead of eating their food.

The more Lu Jiao thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears started to flow down her cheeks.

Outside the fence, the quadruplets looked at the tearful woman. They were extremely surprised. It turns out that bad women can cry too.

Among the four little ones, the youngest walked over cautiously and reached out to touch Lu Jiao's hand.

Lu Jiao lowered her gaze to look at the skinny boy. When he looked up at her, he looked indescribably cute, but when he saw her looking, he immediately shrank back, and when Lu Jiao raised her head, he reached out and touched it again.

Lu Jiao was so upset, she couldn't care less about him. Mrs Tian was good to her, and she would repay her in the future. No, she had to make money as soon as possible and return the five taels of silver. Otherwise, Mrs Tian would not be a good person in the Lu family.

Lu Jiao thought of the medicinal materials in the space. Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum had grown well. One of them was 100 years old, and the other was fifty years old. The oldest Ganoderma lucidum was fifty years old.

She will go up the mountain tomorrow and will pretend to pick two Ganoderma lucidum plants on the mountain. She'll sell one to the Medical Hall, and the other will be used by Xie Yunjin. Xie Yunjin's medicine lacked tonics.

[Welcome to Lu Jiao's Medical Class... Just kidding, here's some TCM jargon used:

1. I guess everyone's familiar with Ginseng, which tends to appear at least once in every CN. Ganoderma lucidum (Lingzhi) is a woody mushroom highly regarded in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is widely consumed in the belief that it enhances health and longevity, reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease, and strengthens the immune system.

2. In TCM, Qi is a fundamental concept. Qi is the basic substance that maintains life activities. It is stored in the blood, can run outside the blood vessels, and can be gathered in acupoints. It maintains the functions of the internal organs and nourishes the skin.]

In the prescription, the medicines used invigorate and nourish Qi, promote blood circulation, and remove stasis. If you use medicinal herbs to invigorate and nourish Qi and to promote blood circulation, a pair of medicines will cost at least five taels of silver.

This does not include the cost of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

Xie Erzhu was right in what he said before. The medicines Xie Erzhu bought were all ordinary medicines, and Xie Yunjin had to take them for a long time to see any effect.

While thinking about it, Lu Jiao leaned over to pick up the Fourth child, and the Fourth Child's skinny body instantly froze.

For fear that she would hit the Fourth Child, the eldest child, the second child and the third child, all stared at her vigilantly.

But Lu Jiao ignored them and turned around and walked in.

She had originally planned to do laundry, but seeing that it was getting late, she decided to cook lunch first, and then do the laundry.

For lunch, she decided to cook rice, scrambled eggs with shallots, green vegetables and mushrooms.

The rice was sent by Mrs Tian last time. After eating it twice, there was not much of it left. Lu Jiao cooked it all at once.

When she'll go to town to sell medicinal herbs, she'll buy more rice and noodles. It's not good for children to eat too much brown rice.

Because brown rice is not peeled, it is very hard. It must be soaked in a pot for two or three hours before it can be boiled. If it is cooked directly, it will be too hard to eat.

After Lu Jiao had cooked the rice and stir-fried the vegetables, she didn't see Xie Erzhu coming.

She looked at the time and estimated that Xie Erzhu would not come, so today it was her turn to feed Xie Yunjin.

Lu Jiao thought about it and felt that it was nothing. Isn't it just feeding? As a combat medic, it is normal to take care of the patient.

Lu Jiao went to the east bedroom to have a look and found that Xie Yunjin was asleep. He was seriously injured, and after repeated tossing, his complexion was awful, and his face was very pale.

If it weren't for her conditioning his body with spiritual water, it would be a matter of fate whether he could wake up now.

However, the lack of money to pay for good medicine is also a reason. Even though he suffered such a serious injury, he could only take cheap medicine, so the injury did not improve for a while.

But even cheap medicine costs more than a tael of silver, which shows the preciousness of medicinal materials in ancient times.

Seeing that Xie Yunjin was asleep, Lu Jiao turned around. When she went to the door, she found that the four little ones behind her were not moving. She couldn't help calling out, "Your father is sleeping. Let's go eat first. When he wakes up, I'll feed him."

The four little ones didn't move, looking at her with disbelief etched on their faces. Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows and threatened.

"I'm telling you, from today onwards, your grandmother will not let your second uncle come to take care of your father. Now you can only count on me to take care of your father. If you don't listen to me, I will not take care of your father."

The four little ones looked at each other, and then thought that their second uncle really hadn't come at noon today.

The eldest child came over immediately and looked at her, "We will listen to you. Even if you beat us and scold us, we won't hide. You must take care of Daddy."

The three little ones in the back said obediently. "We'll listen to you. Don't ignore Daddy."

Lu Jiao nodded in satisfaction. The mother and sons were in rare harmony.

Although the little four were forced to go to the kitchen for lunch with Lu Jiao, when they ate rice and scrambled eggs with shallots, their eyes lit up.

Originally, rice and eggs were expensive, and with Lu Jiao's good craftsmanship, this food was even more delicious.

The quadruplets squinted their eyes, and the four little boys were as cute as four puppies. When Lu Jiao looked up, she was a little reluctant to give these four little cuties to Xie Yunjin.

But thinking that the four little ones didn't like her very much, she gave up.

After the meal, Lu Jiao went to do the laundry, and the four little boys went to take a nap, but, in reality, the four little boys stubbornly stayed up, watching over Xie Yunjin.

As soon as Xie Yunjin woke up, the second child rushed out and called to Lu Jiao, "Daddy is awake, he is awake."

Lu Jiao dried the last of the little ones' clothes, turned and went to the east bedroom.

On the bed, Xie Yunjin had indeed woken up and was talking to the four little boys. When Lu Jiao walked in, he paused and then continued.

"Go to sleep. Daddy is fine."

The eldest child immediately said, "Daddy hasn't eaten, and he won't get well if he doesn't eat."

After he had finished speaking, he turned to look at Lu Jiao beside the bed. Lu Jiao immediately said, "I'll bring the rice and vegetables and feed you. I was in a hurry today, so I didn't have time to cook chicken soup."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she planned to go out and bring the meal, but she had just turned around when Xie Yunjin said, "Don't do it, I'm not hungry."

Lu Jiao stopped and looked back, and found that the man on the bed was not looking at her. His eyes were narrowed, as if he wanted to rest again.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jiao thought he didn't have enough rest, so she didn't take it seriously. "Okay, then you can sleep for a while."

When she finished, she asked the four little beanies to sleep with their father.

The four little boys wanted to speak, but Xie Yunjin looked at them and coaxed, "Okay, go to sleep. Daddy is not hungry now. He will eat when he is hungry."

Four little ones nodded, closed their eyes for a while, and fell asleep, while Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin and said.

"Look at the four little boys. I am going up the mountain. There is no firewood at home. I will go up the mountain to chop some firewood and see if I can find something to eat from the mountain."

Anyway, she had nothing to do at home, so she could go up the mountain and use this opportunity to take out the two Ganoderma lucidum plants from space. But there was really not much firewood at home, so she indeed needed to go up the mountain to chop some.

Previously, the firewood used by the original owner was all tattered tables and chairs in the old house, which she chopped up and used as firewood. Now there is not much left to burn at home.
