Chapter 275, Su Xi’s perspective
The most difficult thing about asking your third uncle for something is to let him know that you are asking for something. Then the guy will start to yell, just like this time.
Although he won't ask me for anything very valuable or company stocks, after all, he is not short of money now and he is too lazy to take care of huge assets, but his blustering way is still very annoying.
Just like this time we told him that we wanted him to help make his exclusive secret recipe of sour plum soup for Hao Siyu, and because it was really inconvenient for Hao Siyu to go out, I originally thought that with Hao Siyu and him having such a good relationship, it shouldn’t be a problem, but who knew he It was an old habit again, and we had to go there in person, as if we were asking him to do it.
It seems that I have to go to his house now. I will definitely settle the score with him when I get the chance...
I first went outside to put the car outside the door of the dormitory, then turned on the air conditioner and turned off the air circulation. When I felt that the temperature had almost dropped, I started to put ice packs on myself, and then moved Hao Siyu and Hao Jingqi one by one. Get to the car.
After all, I am the only man who can move freely at the moment. Although I think there is no problem even if I let my cousin do this. After all, when she first came back, she threw Hao Jingqi in with one hand. Well, in terms of strength, shouldn't he be stronger than me?
Since I had to focus on driving, I had to ask Su Shiman to take care of the two of them in the back during the one-hour journey. However, I was always worried about the physical condition of Hao Siyu in the back seat. Fortunately, there were no problems along the way.
When we arrived at Third Uncle's house, Third Uncle was sitting in the pavilion in the front yard of his villa enjoying the cool air, sitting on a Taishi chair and drinking Kung Fu tea. When I saw this scene, I knew it was made for me, so I just said it without saying a word. The car drove into his yard, and the third uncle was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair.
Seeing me pull the car in front of him, my third uncle immediately rushed to the driver’s door and shouted at me: “You kid, do you want to scare me to death? And do you know how expensive it is to maintain the lawns and roads here?”
I got out of the car and said impatiently: "Are you still short of that money? Stop talking nonsense, quickly find a room and turn on the air conditioner to the maximum."
The third uncle heard what I said and stamped his feet and cursed: "Do you still have an elder like me in your eyes? Don't say you are here to beg me, but seeing as I am your third uncle, you shouldn't order me in this tone!" "
This guy really has a lot on his plate...
I took my third uncle’s hand, dragged him to the window of the back seat, and pointed inside the window.
Seeing the scene in the car, the third uncle was so frightened that he bared his teeth. At this moment, Hao Siyu and Hao Jingqi were in very bad condition. Their faces were as red as if they were deprived of oxygen, they were breathing heavily, and they had their eyes closed. He leaned his eyes on the chair, motionless as if he had lost consciousness.
The third uncle first reprimanded me and said: "Why do you treat your wife like this? Are you not even willing to turn on the air conditioner?"
“It’s on, I’ve turned it on as low as possible.”
“No…”
The third uncle opened the driver's seat door in disbelief, then reached in and tried it. He immediately shivered. Then he quickly pulled his hand back and said, "Why did you bring them here since they are so sick? Just do it." Take it to the hospital."
“It’s not that they are sick, it’s that their family’s constitution is troublesome and they are not resistant to heat.”
“That’s it…”
“Speaking of which, didn’t I make everything clear to you before?”
The third uncle smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, I thought it was Hao Siyu who was being willful. You loved her so much that you just let her say this. Damn it... I should have thought that even if you were that kind of person, Hao Siyu wouldn't be so willful. A woman, if my sister-in-law knows that I caused her pregnant daughter-in-law to suffer such a crime, she will definitely kill me..."
After saying this, he had an expression of regret and fear.
I didn’t expect my mother to spread the news so widely... even my third uncle knew everything about it.
But now was not the time to talk to him about this, so I quickly urged: "Can you go and turn on the air conditioner in the room now? Remember to turn it down to the lowest setting."
The third uncle immediately ran back, and then I drove the car forward for a while, and drove directly to the door of the third uncle’s building. Before that, the third uncle had always cherished the decoration of his yard, using antique buildings and There are expensive flowers and plants, and the layout has been carefully designed by a landscaper. Generally speaking, he will never allow others to drive their cars here. If you want to see him, you have to drive the car into the garage through the side door, and then go around back to the front door. Come in, but the situation is urgent now, and my third uncle and I don't have to worry about it anymore.
When I drove the car to the door of the building, my third uncle came out and told us that the room was ready, and asked me to take him in quickly. This time, because Hao Siyu and the others were in much worse condition than when they set out, Su Shiman Everyone helped carry Hao Jingqi.
Sure enough, this guy has this strength...
When I saw this scene, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, the third uncle thoughtfully prepared two beds with mats on them. A bed with good air circulation and more suitable for relaxing is naturally better for Hao Siyu's body than a chair.
And the third uncle is still wearing a down coat right now... It shouldn't be like this, right?
“My room is as air-conditioned as an ice cellar. How can I, an old man, with my body be able to withstand it?” said the third uncle, giving me a cold look.
Well, the elderly do need more care, but are Hao Siyu's problems more urgent now?
“Let’s not talk about it anymore. I am really worried about Hao Siyu’s condition, and at the same time, as my brother-in-law, can you help me make the sour plum soup quickly? I can thank you as much as you want later.”
Su Shiman also begged, "Please, I know my third uncle will reserve a lot every time it comes to summer."
After hearing this, the third uncle said with some embarrassment: "This is really distressing. I haven't started making sour plum soup this year. After all, the weather is not too hot at this time. For people like Hao Siyu who are afraid of such heat, I This is the first time I’ve seen it. I guess the conventional formula isn’t enough, so I have to think of a way to make it happen.”
“Don’t tell me that I brought these two people all the way here and let them suffer such a terrible crime and there was nothing you could do about it?”
The third uncle sighed, walked to Hao Siyu, and suddenly held her wrist. The next second he was punched back...
“What is this for?”
Third uncle said loudly with tears in his eyes.
Ah, I forgot to tell my third uncle something very important. Maybe I didn’t say it on purpose?
Seeing this, I quickly handed over an ice pack and told my third uncle, "Sorry, this is entirely due to Hao Siyu's unconscious reflex action. Your body temperature is too hot and uncomfortable for him. Please post this. What are you doing?"
Uncle Third took the ice pack from my hand unhappily and put it on the back of his hand. He said to me, "You'll know when you see it."
After a while, after confirming that it was almost done, the third uncle put his index finger, **** and ring finger on Hao Siyu's wrist. After a while, he moved to Hao Jingqi's side and touched it with three fingers again.
Seeing this scene, I asked in disbelief: "Third uncle, are you feeling your pulse?"
“Of course it is.”
“Can you trust your pulse-taking skills? Why have I never seen you use it?”
The third uncle rolled his eyes at me and said: "This is just a small skill. My real ability is to know the art of the Book of Changes, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, and observation of celestial phenomena. My pulse numbering is only the second best."
After hearing this, I can only feel more worried...
Even if the thing you are best at is that virtue, what role can the thing you are second best at play?
Su Shiman seemed to know what I was thinking. She glanced at me secretly and told me not to talk nonsense.
I also know that I have to take the exam for my third uncle now. If he gets angry and doesn't help us, we will be in trouble, so I don't say anything at this moment.
After taking the pulse, Third Uncle thought for a while, took a pen and wrote something on the paper, and then went to the backyard with the paper in hand.
I couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded. I told Su Shiman to take care of the brother and sister and chased after them. Then I saw the third uncle walking into a room full of medicine cabinets. It was like something out of an old movie. It was just like a traditional Chinese medicine store in the 1970s. Before I even walked in, I could smell the scent of herbs that almost knocked me out.
I held my nose and asked my third uncle, "Are you really planning to use these herbs to make sour plum soup? By the way, since when did you have such a thing at home? Why don't I know?"
"Since when have you ever cared about me? To be honest today, if it wasn't because of Hao Siyu's appetite for me, I don't want her to suffer this, so I wouldn't bother to care about you."
As he spoke, the third uncle skillfully took some herbs of different amounts from different cabinets, put them in a paper bag, and then carried them to the kitchen.
Of course I followed. After my third uncle arrived, he took out the chilled sour plums and some rock sugar from the refrigerator. I finally saw something that looked like making materials.
After heating the water in the pot to boiling, Uncle San put all the ingredients in. After a while, the color of the soup became very dark, and at the same time, I smelled a sweet and cloying smell.
This smell is a bit too pungent. Unlike the room where the herbs were placed before, although this smell is not difficult to accept, it will make you feel sick after smelling it for a while. If I drink this thing, I am afraid it will It will be spit out immediately.
Even with so many herbs mixed in, if this pot of sour plum soup is still non-toxic and harmless, the sweetness can kill an adult.
I not only asked worriedly: "Uncle San, did you put in a little too much material?"
“What do you know? Hao Siyu and her brother are seriously ill, so they need to be treated harshly, otherwise they won’t be able to get rid of their roots.”
I understand everything you said, but I’m not talking about herbs. What I’m worried about now is sugar.
Not long after the water boiled, the third uncle turned off the fire. It seemed that the making was completed, so the third uncle put them all in a crystal basin. At first, the homemade sour plum soup looked very simple. This container looks a little fancy.
I quickly ran over and picked up the crystal basin. Although I wanted to scream while lying down, I couldn't care less when I thought that Hao Siyu needed this thing very much.
Seeing this scene, my third uncle yelled at me anxiously: "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of being burned to death? Besides, are you bringing it over now because you want Hao Siyu to drink it to death?"
“Is this bowl of sour plum soup really poisonous?”
I asked worriedly.
"What you said is so rude! How can the stuff I carefully prepared for Hao Siyu be poisonous? It's just that this bowl of soup still needs the last step, otherwise the effect will not be achieved."
As he spoke, the third uncle filled a large box full of ice cubes from an ice machine, then dug a hole for me to put the crystal basin in, and threw a few more ice cubes to me and asked me to apply cold compresses on my palms to prevent Burned myself.
To be honest, this crystal basin has no heat insulation effect at all, so I already felt a little unbearable, so I quickly grabbed the ice cube.
Because the crystal basin is not insulated at all, it has no thermal insulation effect at all. The temperature in the basin is quickly absorbed by the surrounding ice cubes, and then the flowers bloom quickly. There is a mesh structure under the plastic box, and the ice spent by the flowers blooms. The water will flow directly down here, and at this time, the third uncle keeps taking out new ice cubes from the ice machine and placing them around.
