On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Yang Huazhou's family moved into a new house.

On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, good news came from the county. Yang Yong'an, the new top scholar, returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. He has now entered the territory of Qing'an County and is expected to arrive at Changhuai Village in seven days.

"From Changhuai Village to our village, Qing'er, Lao Wu and the others used to take only one or two days to go back and forth. Why does it take six or seven days to go to Da'an? Is this expected?"

After seeing off the messenger who came to deliver the news, Mrs. Sun looked puzzled.

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "We Da'an went out to Bailu Academy. The number one scholar has returned to Qing'an County. The county governor, as well as the squires and dignitaries in the county, many of them want to have a banquet to make friends."

"Da'an himself has to go to White Deer Academy to pay homage to his mentor and gather with his former classmates. After going back and forth, eating and drinking, it will take six or seven days to get home!"

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she understood.

Thinking of her eldest son being entertained by the big shots in Qing'an County, and thinking that her eldest son was the pride of Bailu Academy, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but feel proud.

"Okay, six or seven days, just six or seven days, let's wait!" Mrs. Sun said.

Then he hurriedly went to the backyard to clean up Daan's house.

"Brother Da'an's house, I see Xiaohua tidying it up every day and wiping the dust on the table every day, but there is no dust at all." Xiaoduo said with a smile on her lips.

"But I think every day after Xiaohua has finished cleaning up, Third Aunt has to clean up again, haha..."

Yang Ruoqing also smiled when she heard the small flowers.

"My mother will go crazy in the next six or seven days if she doesn't go to Da'an's house."

"Hey, by the way, where is Xiaohua? Why haven't I seen her so much these days? What is she busy with?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Xiaohua used to be very busy every day. Whenever she had time, she would go to her yard next door to help her clean the yard and play with Baby Luo and the others.

It seems that I have rarely seen this girl these days. Even if she came over, I didn't see her.

Xiao Duo said: "Replying to my eldest sister, Xiao Hua doesn't seem to be feeling well. After cleaning brother Da'an's house after dinner every day, she goes back to her own house to do needlework."

"But after I couldn't do it for a while, I felt sleepy and wanted to sleep."

"You are sick!" Yang Ruoqing said in surprise.

"Why didn't you say she was sick? You have to take medicine if you are sick!" Yang Ruoqing said, standing up hurriedly and walking towards the backyard.

"She refused to let me tell her, and she pretended like she wasn't sick in front of others. I couldn't help it..."

Xiaoduo explained a little aggrievedly, and followed him to the backyard.

In Xiaohua's house.

When Yang Ruoqing pushed the door open and came in, she found that Xiaohua had not taken off her coat on her upper body, and her lower body was wrapped in a quilt and she was sitting on the head of the bed.

There is a sewing dustpan placed on the quilt, which contains thread balls of various colors, needle thread, and other needlework tools.

Xiaohua held a handkerchief in both hands and was covering her mouth and nose. Her face was sallow, and there were tears in her eyes that were about to fall down.

"Hey, why is a girl like you hiding in the room and crying?"

Yang Ruoqing let out a squeak and stepped over.

When Xiaohua saw Yang Ruoqing coming, she was a little panicked and hurriedly raised her hand and waved vigorously at Yang Ruoqing a few times to signal her not to go over.

Yang Ruoqing paused at her feet, and at this moment, Xiaohua coughed violently.

After a violent cough, she lay on the bedside and retched, with tears and runny nose coming out.

"Ah, you are so sick, and you still hide in the house and don't say anything?"

Yang Ruoqing was worried and anxious, so she hurried over and poured a bowl of warm water over.

Xiaohua stopped retching, but was still coughing.

After her cough subsided a little, Yang Ruoqing put the water in her hand, "Here, take a sip of hot water to moisten your throat, and then quickly tell me what's going on with you!"

After Xiaohua drank a few mouthfuls of water, her breathing gradually stabilized.

She panted slightly and smiled apologetically at Yang Ruoqing.

"Sister, there's nothing serious about me. Maybe I caught a cold at night and had a slight cough." She said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "There are several types of minor coughs. Please tell me which type of cough you have so I can find medicine for you."

Xiaohua said: "My cough is not serious at all, because during the twelve hours a day, I am almost like a good person the rest of the time."

"But sometimes my throat suddenly feels like a chicken feather is brushing against it. It itches so much that I feel nauseous and hold back my tears and nose."

"Then there was a violent cough. After the coughing was over, the itching passed. After that, I was no different from a normal person."

After hearing what Xiaohua said, Yang Ruoqing probably had an idea in her mind.

"Open your mouth and let me take a look at your throat." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaohua was a little embarrassed, Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes, "I am your sister, not a man, why are you so shy!"

Xiaoduo beside the bed smiled and said, "Xiaohua, our sister is really concerned about you. She heard that you were sick and even gave me a scolding, blaming me for hiding it for you!"

Xiaohua was flattered when she heard this.

"Sister, I don't let her talk about Xiaoduo's affairs," Xiaohua said.

"Why don't you let Xiaoduo say it?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Xiao Huadao: "The family is currently busy with brother Daan's wedding. I'm calling it bad luck. Besides, it's not a big problem..."

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and gently tapped Xiaohua's forehead, "You silly girl, you are also a member of the family. You are sick and everyone is worried. You are not allowed to hide it anymore."

There were tears in Xiaohua's eyes again.

"Come on, open your mouth and let me see how your throat is doing." Yang Ruoqing urged again.

Xiaohua cooperated obediently.

After Yang Ruoqing finished reading, she realized that this girl Xiaohua probably had acute bronchitis caused by a cold. Her throat was all red.

"You should have a good rest first and drink more water. I will go to Uncle Fu to buy you medicine." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Sister, thank you for your hard work..." Xiaohua said.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Hurry up and get well. Da'an will go home in six or seven days. You will have to take care of him then. You will be affected."

Yang Ruoqing turned around and left the house.

Xiaohua looked at Yang Ruoqing's leaving figure and thought that Da'an would be back in six or seven days, and she was very excited in her heart.

Xiaoduo sat down next to the bed and said to Xiaohua: "How's it going? I'll just say you're too worried. In this family, everyone cares about us. Look, our sister will buy it for you right away.

The medicine is gone."

Xiaohua nodded, "I was overthinking it for a moment. My family is so kind to me, and I feel ashamed."

Xiao Duo reached out and held Xiao Hua's hand and said: "You didn't do anything bad, but you just hid your illness and didn't dare to say anything. Since you now know that everyone treats you sincerely, you will fight in the future."

Cheer up and be well."

Xiaohua nodded, "Well, I've also figured it out. What I hope for is what doesn't belong to me. I just want to stay in this home for the rest of my life, serve my three uncles and three aunts, and repay them!"

Xiaoduo smiled, "I thought so too, but Third Aunt said she would find my in-laws for me."
