Marriage First, True Love Later



219 cold

Lin Li had caught a cold. Yesterday, she had fallen asleep while lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV. When she woke up in the morning, she was very dizzy and her whole body was in a daze. Her nose was blocked and she almost couldn’t breathe.

After taking her temperature, 38.5 degrees was a little high. Zhou han told her to go to the hospital, but Lin Li insisted that she would be better after taking medicine.

Hence, Zhou han went to the pharmacy to buy her cold medicine and fever medicine. Lin Li had taken the medicine before. Because it was a Sunday, she didn’t have to go to work and didn’t have anything particularly important to do, so Lin Li slept at home for the whole day. However, it didn’t seem like she was getting better.

“Achoo Achoo Achoo,” he pulled a napkin from the bedside table and wiped his nose with one hand. He held his phone to his ear with the other hand and nodded repeatedly. okay, I got it. I’ve taken some medicine. I should feel better after a good sleep.

The call was from mother Zhou. Mother Zhou originally wanted to call Lin Li to persuade Zhou han to go back to see Xiao bin, but after the call, she found out that Lin Li had also caught a cold and was sick, so she couldn’t help but care about her.

don’t just take those Western medicine. Later, I’ll boil some ginger sugar water and drink it. It’ll definitely be good after drinking it. It’s much better than those medicine and acupuncture. On the other end of the phone, mother Zhou patiently said, ” after you drink the ginger sugar water, go to bed and sleep. Cover yourself with more blankets. You’ll be fine as long as you sweat more.

Lin Li’s heart felt warm. She nodded and agreed, ” I will. I’ll go and make some ginger water later. Thank you, Mom. Only those who truly loved you would care about you so much over and over again. It was a very warm feeling.

“Aiya, why don’t I go over later? you young people don’t know how to do this.” Mother Zhou was still a little worried. I promised your parents. I can’t let you have any illness or pain. She truly felt that Lin Li was a good child. Her heart ached for her because she had married far away and her parents weren’t by her side, so she wanted to take care of her more.

mom, you don’t have to pee. Just tell me how to cook it. I know how to. “Besides, Xiao bin has a cold now. He still needs you to take care of him,” Lin Li declined.

On the other side of the phone, mother Zhou was silent for a while. She sighed and said,”Xiao Li, actually, I shouldn’t be saying these things to you. I know you’re a good kid and you’re good to Xiao bin, but do you think it’s possible that ah han is especially cold to Xiao bin because he’s afraid that you’ll be unhappy? After all, you’re still newlyweds, and you want more space for yourself. If it’s inconvenient for the child to live with you, then let the child stay in the courtyard. There’s a chauffeur at home anyway, so it’s convenient to pick him up and drop him off from school.”

Lin Li was stunned for a while before she understood what she meant. She quickly explained, ” “Mom, did I do something wrong to cause you to misunderstand? I’ve never felt that Xiao bin was a hindrance to us.”

“No, no, you didn’t do anything wrong. Your dad and I can tell that you really like Xiao bin. We know that you’re very good to him, and we don’t blame you. We really don’t. Don’t think too much.” Not wanting to let her daughter-in-law misunderstand, mother Zhou quickly explained, ” I mean, is it because ah han wants to dote on you and is afraid that you’ll have a grudge, so he deliberately distanced himself from the child? you know, children are always very sensitive. Besides, Xiao bin has been living with ah han since he was young. Even though ah Han’s face is usually cold and sullen, he’s still Xiao bin’s closest person. The two of them have been living together in the United States for so many years, and Xiao bin is more or less dependent on ah han. These two days, he’s been sick from the cold, and when he falls asleep at night, he’s still calling out’ dad’ in a daze. My heart aches for this child just by looking at him.” As she said this, mother Zhou couldn’t help but cry.

Lin Li knew Zhou Han’s usual attitude towards children and also remembered that he was still indifferent and unconcerned after receiving the phone call last night and finding out that the child was sick. Not to mention mother Zhou’s heartache for her grandson, even she felt bad for Xiao bin. After thinking for a while, she asked, ” “Mom, what can I do?”

Mother Zhou sighed softly and said, ” Xiao Li, can you help me persuade Zhou han when he comes back from work today? let him take some time to visit Xiao bin. The child really misses him. ”

When Zhou han returned home from the company with his briefcase, he heard sneezes coming from the house one after another the moment he opened the door and entered. He frowned slightly and subconsciously muttered softly, ” “Didn’t that guy take his medicine? why does it sound like his cold is more serious than this morning?”

After changing his shoes, he walked straight into the living room and placed the briefcase in his hand on the sofa in the living room. Zhou han saw a certain someone in pajamas sneezing and sneezing in the kitchen with a knife. He didn’t know what she was cutting.

“Achoo Achoo Achoo Achoo Achoo Achoo Achoo Achoo Achoo”

Lin Li raised her hand and rubbed her nose, feeling a little uncomfortable. She didn’t notice that someone had come behind her at all. She was focused on cutting the old ginger on the anvil with a knife. Because she was really uncomfortable, she was going to cook the ginger candy water according to mother Zhou’s instructions later. She hoped that it would really be as effective as mother Zhou said.

“What are you doing?” Behind her, Zhou han suddenly spoke, scaring Lin Li so much that she almost accidentally dropped the knife that was supposed to land on old Jiang onto her finger.

She turned her head and looked at Zhou han, who had walked behind her, and said, ” “You, when did you come back? Why aren’t you making any sound when you walk!” She really didn’t hear any movement at all. She raised her hand to look at her watch. Besides, wasn’t it a little too early for him to be back at this time? it was only five o ‘clock, not even six O’ clock.

Zhou han glanced at her and didn’t answer her question immediately. He glanced at the ginger pieces on the anvil and pointed to the ginger pieces that were cut by Lin Li and asked, ” “What are you preparing to do with these? Don’t tell me you’re going to cook with it. ”

Lin Li rolled her eyes at him. She picked up the ‘ginger slice’ that she had just cut off and said, ” “Who would use such a big piece of ginger to stir-fry vegetables?” His voice was nasal and his expression seemed to be laughing at Zhou Han’s ignorance.

Zhou han raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms and asked, ” “Then what are you going to do with it?”

“Of course, I’m staying in the ginger sugar water.” Lin Li said it matter-of-factly, then turned around to cut a few more slices, thinking that it would be more effective to put more ginger in.

“Who told you that the ginger sugar water should be cooked with such thick ginger?” Zhou han asked coldly.

“Mom.” Lin Li said matter-of-factly, but then she felt that she had spoken too quickly and changed her words, ” “Zhou, mother Zhou.”

Zhou han looked at her and took the knife from her hand. He cut the old Jiang into thin slices and said, ” “You cut it into such big pieces, aren’t you afraid of being burnt to death?”

“No, don’t you need to cut a bigger piece for it to be effective?” Lin Li asked, puzzled.

Zhou han didn’t turn around and just asked coldly, ” “May I ask which teacher taught you this? Don’t tell me it’s my mom. I’ve been drinking the ginger sugar water that I made for her for so many years, but I’ve never seen the thing you cut in the bowl before.”

Lin Li pouted and didn’t refute. Mother Zhou really didn’t say how much ginger should be cut. She was the one who wanted it.

“You haven’t been in the kitchen much, have you?” Zhou han asked casually as he sliced the ginger into thin strips.

Lin Li was stunned. Thinking back, she really hadn’t been in the kitchen much. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but that she didn’t have the chance. Before she went to university, she was her parents, and after she went to university, she had Chengxiang. There really wasn’t much chance for her to learn how to cook.

The shredded ginger was placed into the pot, and after adding some water and brown sugar, he turned on the fire and covered the pot.

When Zhou han was done, he turned his head and saw Lin Li standing there in a daze.

She reached out to touch her forehead. Her hands were a little cold because she had just washed them. Lin Li couldn’t help but shiver all over. Only then did she come back to her senses and realize that she had been a little distracted.

He looked at Zhou han and asked, ” “You, what are you doing?” She reached out to pull his hand.

Before Lin Li reached out to pull his hand down, Zhou han directly grabbed her hand and held it in his palm. His other hand was placed on her forehead to feel her temperature. After touching her for a while, he retracted his hand and placed it on his forehead again. Frowning, he asked, ” “Why is it still so hot? didn’t you take the medicine we bought this morning?”

Lin Li subconsciously shook her head, but then she nodded vigorously and said, ” “I’ve eaten, I’ve eaten everything.”

you’re still running a fever. No, I’ll accompany you to the hospital. Zhou han furrowed his brows tightly. The reason why he came back earlier today was because he was worried about her. As expected, her fever had not subsided.

Lin Li shook her head and refused, ” no need to poop. It’s just a cold. Mother Zhou said that I will be better after drinking this. I will go to sleep immediately after drinking it.

Zhou han frowned and stared at her for a while before saying, ” “Go back to your room, I’ll bring it to you when it’s ready.”

She didn’t know if it was because she had been lying in bed for too long today or because she had a cold and fever, but she did feel a little cold standing there in her pajamas for a long time. She didn’t reject him again and turned around to go back to her room.

When Zhou han entered the bedroom with the boiled ginger syrup, Lin Li was sitting on the bed, thinking about something.

He handed her the syrup, and Lin Li came back to her senses. She nodded and thanked him, then reached out to take it and scooped a spoonful of it into her mouth.

be careful of Yingluo. before Zhou han could say the word ” burn “, Lin Li was already covering her mouth from the heat. Her expression was one of pain.

Zhou han quickly took the bowl from her hands, afraid that she would spill it all on the bed. With a serious expression, he reproached, ” “Why are you acting like a child? it’s so hot, yet you still put it in your mouth!”

Lin Li covered her face and said, ” “How would I know? you didn’t even remind me!”

Zhou han rolled his eyes at her and placed the bowl on the bedside table. Then, he stood up and left the room.
