Once back home, Qiao Xiaomai immediately began making dried tofu.
The process of making tofu skin was so simple, she felt shy about asking the Zuixian Building a high price for it.
She took a block of tender tofu, cut it into thin palm-sized pieces, and then placed the stone, used to press the tofu, on top.
Of course, she couldn’t press it all at once; otherwise, the tender tofu would break. She had to gradually increase the weight.
Making dried tofu on the side and boiling soymilk to make tofu skin, the afternoon quickly passed.
Just before bedtime, the dried tofu was finally ready, looking no different from the small packaged pieces of the future.
Qiao Xiaomai sighed in relief.
After packing away the dried tofu, she was about to go to bed, when she faintly heard a weak moaning sound coming from Qiao Changshun’s room as she was passing by the hall.
Qiao Xiaomai stopped, hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door, “Father?”
The moaning sound immediately stopped.
Qiao Xiaomai knocked again, “Father, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, go to sleep.” Qiao Changshun spoke, his voice kept deliberately low, afraid of waking up Qiao Dami who was sleeping next to him.
“What exactly is going on?” Qiao Xiaomai hit the door, quite forcefully.
Qiao Dami, who was sleeping inside, grunted twice, showing signs of waking up.
Seeing this, Qiao Changshun rushed to gently pat him, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
It was actually not a big deal; his leg was just hurting a bit.
It would hurt occasionally before, but he could bear it. However, ever since he got caught in the rain a few days ago, his right leg has been cramping up and hurting constantly, drinking and applying herbal medicine didn’t help much. His leg had been hurting all the time for the past two days.
He couldn’t help but groan just now, inadvertently, and it was heard by Qiao Xiaomai.
After hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai said immediately, “Let’s go see a doctor in the town tomorrow.”
“No need, let’s wait till I’ve finished the medicine prescribed by Doctor Wu.”
“We’re going to sell the dried tofu tomorrow anyway, so let’s go together.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun rubbed his hands, “Are we really gonna move to town?”
“Mmm.”
“But, but what if your mother comes back and can’t find us?”
As he spoke, Qiao Changshun raised his hand to rub his sore eyes.
Although Zhuang Luhe had run off and betrayed him, if she truly came back, he wouldn’t reprimand her at all.
Qiao Xiaomai paused, surprised to find that Qiao Changshun was still hoping for Zhuang Luhe to return. This was beyond her expectations.
“Anyway, the neighbors are here, if Mom really comes back, they can tell her where we moved.” She took a moment to think, then said.
Qiao Changshun heard this and raised his hand to knock on his leg, “You should go back to your room and sleep.”
He didn’t agree or disagree, but his attitude clearly showed that he was unwilling to leave.
“You should also get some sleep, we have to go to town tomorrow.” Qiao Xiaomai sighed inwardly and returned to her room.
Lying in bed, she poured another cup of Spiritual Spring water.
Tasting the sweet spring water, she was a bit puzzled.
She had been using Spiritual Spring water for cooking these past few days, and the taste was so good, yet it didn’t have any healing effects?
Why was Qiao Changshun still in pain after drinking the Spiritual Spring water?
As for his limping, she didn’t expect that it could be cured by the Spiritual Spring water, but why didn’t it even have an analgesic effect…?
This Spiritual Spring was rather lame if it could only be used for cooking.
When would it upgrade again?
Sighingly, she drank the water in the cup and then went to sleep.
With such a ticking time bomb buried under the house, she didn’t sleep well that night. When the chickens crowed for the first time, she woke up.
It was a bit early at that time. As she was contemplating whether to go back to sleep, a warm flow welled up from below, the moist heat quickly spreading.
Her eyes widened in surprise as she hurriedly reached into her blanket to retrieve a flashlight and check.
Just as she had expected.
Her menstrual period has come again….
