Chapter 226

Zhou Qiufeng got up early, ate breakfast with Yueqing, fed chickens, ducks and pigs, packed up, brought things, and the husband and wife left home at the same time.

After leaving the village, Le Dad went to work in the small workshop. Zhou Qiufeng drove a tricycle straight to the parking lot in the village. She arrived at the open-air parking lot just after [-]:[-], and the early bus to the county didn’t leave until [-] minutes later.

Zhou Qiufeng drove the car to the bus, and first brought two packs of fungus to the waiter and driver, asking them to help carry things to the county town for express delivery.

The driver and the waiter happily accepted the local goods. The nine rice plants produce wild mushrooms. There are different mushrooms in each season. They are from the county seat. Sometimes they also buy some sports cars when they come to the countryside.

After receiving the local goods sent by others, the waiter helped move the boxes onto the car and asked with a smile, "Sister, are you sending something to the capital again?"

"Yes."

"For relatives? Or takeaway?"

"My girl studied in the capital and sent it to her to entertain her classmates." Zhou Qiufeng was extremely proud and paid for the postage and the cost of taking things.

The waiter was a little jealous, because he wanted to collect money, so he didn't ask any more. They received local goods, and they didn't want to charge for the delivery, because the owner insisted on giving it, saying that he would still often ask them to carry things in the future. They didn't charge for express delivery in the county. She was embarrassed to ask them for help, and they accepted it.

Zhou Qiufeng had something to do when she got home, so she didn't delay. She drove to cut a few catties of fresh pork, and then hurried home. Within 3 minutes after she got home, all the people came to Lejia to work. The specific work was Lay a few circles of bricks for the third floor and then install the railings, build the house in the stairwell, remove the formwork, and paint the inner and outer walls.

On August [-]th, the roof of Lejia’s third floor was capped. After twenty days, the floor was dry and the formwork could be removed. The weather was dry in autumn. Bie San and a house, rushing to build, I have no time for a while, and I have only come to do follow-up projects now.

Most of the construction team went up to the straight building to build walls, and some of them removed the formwork and removed the formwork. They could paint the inner walls first, and then paint the outer walls after the walls were built on the third floor.

The first thing to paint is coarse sand. When the outer wall is painted, the inner wall can be scraped with putty again, and then the outer wall is scraped. After the putty is scraped, you can live in it for a few days.

According to the time, when they are finished, they will harvest the late rice after a period of time, and then the rice can be dried on the third floor.

The house was contracted out, so Zhou Qiufeng didn’t need to worry about it. The construction workers only came to her when they needed materials. Therefore, she distributed a pack of cigarettes to everyone and asked them to help with the housekeeping. She carried a basket on her back and went to the mountain to pick up mushrooms. .

Some time ago, she climbed the mountain when she was free. She picked up a lot of mushrooms and gave some to her mother to eat, and occasionally to a few elders in the village to eat it herself, and sometimes she also took some to the street to eat the delicious ones. dry up.

I have been accumulating for nearly a month, and I have accumulated a lot. Today, I sent all the best dried mushrooms to Lele.

Yesterday, Lele called her and Yueqing at noon, and called again in the evening. She and Yueqing knew that their children were very happy in Beijing, and they were relieved. Just some local fungus and send it to Lele for dinner.

Zhou Qiufeng felt that it was more important to pick up mushrooms while they were in season, so she was not in a hurry to take care of things in the field and went up the mountain to find mushrooms.

Compared with Zhou Qiufeng's relaxed mood, the He family was very cautious. Qian Yuying and Luo Xiulan got up early, and they got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast before dawn. The north room was quiet, with only a faint light from the window.

They lightly went to the kitchen. The kitchen was the penthouse on the upper side of the landlord, and the penthouse on the west side was used as a study.

When it was dawn, He Panpan, He Mingjing, He Mingtao, He Qishu, He Qiwen and others also got up one after another, some went to the kitchen to help, some went shopping, and some waited for the ancestors to live.

It was almost six o'clock, He Mingjing and He Panpan Mei Chaixi served the ancestors to get up, waited on the old man to brush his hair, brush his teeth and wash his face, and then helped them to the main hall.

Old Ancestor He was helped out of the bedroom, and when he saw his eldest son and daughter-in-law who came to support him, he was full of surprise: "Xiaomei, you are not well-educated in the south, why are you back?"

"Mom, I missed you, so come back and have a look." Lu Xuemei stepped forward to replace Xiao Wu, and supported the ancestor's arm.

"Grandma, grandson greets you, grandma." Xie Yiyuan rushed up to say hello to grandma. He grew up in Hejia, and his adoptive father and adoptive mother could not take care of him when he was a child. He and his brothers were brought up by their ancestors.

Xie Mingyi also hurriedly said hello to the grandma: "Grandma Jin An."

He Zirui, He Qiwen and others also whispered hello to their ancestors.

"You father and son are back too, Mingyi's little grandson, come to my great grandmother's side and let me see if he looks handsome." Ancestor He saw the Xie family father and son, grabbed the small one, and squinted his eyes to appreciate it. The handsome face of the righteous great-grandson.

"Grandma, I've always been so handsome. You always look at me. I can't tell you that the more you get older, the more handsome I will be, and I will look as handsome as Xiao Longbao."

Xie Mingyi stepped forward, took the position of Mrs. He San and supported the ancestor.

Xie Yiyuan once wanted to change his name according to the He family's lineage, but He Zigong did not agree. He respected the meaning of his brother Zejie's brother, and asked him to use the name given by his parents. After he grew up, married and had children, in order to remember the upbringing of the He family. Well, the sons are named according to the age of the He family, and the word "Ming" is also used. The eldest son Mingen and the second son Mingyi.

Although Xie Yiyuan and his son Xie Mingen Xie Mingyi are not ranked according to the He family, they are on the He family tree, and they are the righteous descendants of the He family.

"Don't, you can look as handsome as your father, don't look like Xiaolongbao, if a Xiaolongbao runs in front of me, my eyes will be dazzled, and there will be one or two equally handsome grandsons. Blind my eyes, Xiao Mingyi, your partner has fallen?"

Everyone in the He family reconciled with Xie Yiyuan and looked at the sky silently. When the ancestors caught anyone, they asked if there was any target. It was really anxious to death.

"Grandma, I'm trying my best to open my eyes to find a partner. I will try my best to find you a good grandson-in-law who is beautiful, virtuous, gentle and filial. Then there will be another big fat boy, and I will let you hold the great grandson. Grandma, you always sit down. Here, drink some boiled water first or have some fruit before meals?"

Xie Mingyi smiled and helped the ancestor to sit down and thumped his shoulders diligently. He Mingsheng was afraid that his grandmother would catch them and ask them if they were looking for someone.

Everyone in the He family spoke and did things in a low voice, trying not to make loud noises. The old man quickly noticed the clue and asked strangely, "Zirong Zirui, you all speak softly, what's the matter?"

"Mother," He Zirong quickly explained, "that's what happened. The doctor who saw you came over last night and made pills for you in the room north of the east wing. We were afraid of disturbing the doctor, so we didn't dare to speak loudly. ."

"The doctor is here? Why didn't you say it earlier, the doctor pulled my old bone back from the gate of hell, I have to go and say thank you." Ancestor He was a little anxious, these children are too insignificant, what's the matter with such a big deal They didn't tell her at the first time, making her rude.

"Mother, sit still," He Zirui hurriedly persuaded: "It's not that we didn't tell you, it was the doctor who said last night that she didn't leave the pharmacy, let us not disturb her work, and Xiao Longbao also said to let Let's listen to the doctor's words, don't interfere with her medicine, mother, you always listen to Xiaolongbao, let's wait for the doctor to prepare the medicine and then thank you."

"The doctor won't let people quarrel, then wait." Ancestor He lowered his voice and spoke in a small voice.

He Zirui and He Zirong breathed a sigh of relief. Their old mother was more stubborn than a cow. In the past, only their younger sister, the fourth child, could persuade them. When Da Ziqiong left, Xiaolong was the only one who could persuade their ancestors. Bao, without Xiaolongbao by his side, if the ancestors were stubborn, they would often be powerless to fight.

Ancestor He knew that the doctor was in the east wing, and that was a special concern. It was fine to speak in a low voice, and he urged the children to be as quiet as possible, so when a group of people brought breakfast to the main hall, they all walked on the catwalk.

After breakfast was served, the doctor still hadn't been seen. Ancestor He looked around for many times and asked in confusion, "When will the doctor come out to eat? Are you going to bring it in or invite you to eat together?"

"Mother, the doctor will not walk out of the pharmacy at will when making medicines, and eat three meals a day in the pharmacy."

"Did you deliver the food?"

"Mother, according to the doctor's request, we prepared the dry food and put it in the pharmacy a few days ago. It will take about three or four days for the doctor to come out."

"Eat dry food?" Ancestor He was shocked.

"Yes, the instant noodles and dry noodles are prepared. The doctor said that she can cook it herself. She won't let us enter the pharmacy, for fear that the wind will affect the temperature in the room."

"It's really embarrassing for the doctor. No matter what, you must remember the kindness of the doctor."

"Mother, we understand."

He Zirong and He Zirui responded respectfully, Chai Xi helped the ancestors to serve porridge, and everyone hurried to have breakfast.

After breakfast, He Qiwen, He Qishu and others hurried to work, Xie Yiyuan accompanied the old men at home, He Panpan and Luo Xiulan went to buy vegetables and some Chinese angelica herbs, the two old ladies accompanied the ancestors, and He Mingsheng He Mingjun Five young people, He Mingtao, He Mingjing and Xie Mingyi, immediately embarked on a journey to find lotus roots.

The little doctor said that it is best to go down to the fields to dig by himself. Indirectly, it is best to go to the fields outside the city to find them. The ponds in the urban area are generally polluted by domestic sewage, which is really worrying.

The young people drove to Chengxiao, looking for lotus roots all over the world.

It is easier to find lotus roots outside the city than in the city. Outside the city, there are vast resources and all kinds of crops. It is rare to have fields in the city. Only the lakes and ponds in scenic spots and parks are planted, and there are lotus plants in the gardens of private houses.

When the five young men arrived outside the city, they divided their troops into two separate paths to find them. They drove their cars around on various roads. The lotus fields were easy to find. Some had not yet reached the excavation period. Find the lotus field, but also to find the master.

The young man of the He family spent a short time wandering around, and then found a lotus field that he felt was a good environment, and then went to find the owner to buy lotus roots. Even if the quantity was small, the price was unbearably high. The owner is naturally willing to help dig lotus root because of the price that is over a hundred times higher.

First find the red lotus root, collect the lotus leaves and lotus pods by the way, and then make some inquiries, from the owner of the red lotus root to the family of the white lotus, and went to buy at a high price.

The lotus roots were collected before noon, and the Wuqing people hurried back. They encountered peak traffic on the road and were blocked until [-] o'clock in the afternoon before they crawled home.

He Panpan and Luo Xiulan went home early from the grocery shopping, put the medicine in the east hall, then packed up the vegetables and cooked at noon. Because the ancestors had three meals on time, they didn't wait for the five juniors to eat first.

About [-] minutes after they finished eating, the five children came back in a hurry. Chai Xi asked the children to eat. She and Lu Xuemei put the lotus roots in the yard and washed them with water.

The little doctor said that each of the red and white lotus roots should have a bud and a piece of fibrous root. He Mingsheng and his sisters bought a dozen pieces of each, and they chose the end of the lotus tail, leaving five or six knots, and a dozen pieces of lotus root piles. It's quite spectacular together. In their words, it is better to have more or less, and it depends on the best. The leftovers can be eaten as fried lotus root slices.

Old Mrs. He San and Mrs. He Da cleaned the lotus roots and leaves with toothbrushes, picked out the tenderest pieces and put them in one basket, and put the ones that looked a little bit worse in another basket.

After she finished washing, the He Mingsheng brothers and sisters went out to eat, how dare they let the grandmothers carry heavy objects, He Mingjun, He Mingsheng, He Mingtao and Xie Mingyi are men, with great strength, they hurried to carry the basket into the main hall of the east wing.

The young people also walked on the cat's footsteps. As soon as they carried their things into the hall of the east wing and put them down, they heard the sound of pulling the door bolt from the pharmacy, and then the door creaked open, the little girl who has not shown up since the retreat last night. Stick your head out.

He Mingsheng was stunned for a while, and He Mingtao asked two questions: "Little beauty, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten dry food." Seeing the stunned expressions of the four young people, Le Yun couldn't help smiling and crouching: "He Xiaoer He Xiaoba, come in and help."

"Hey! Come on!" He Mingsheng and He Mingtao rushed to the pharmacy. He Mingsheng was also clever, and took ginseng and angelica cinnamon in their arms and sent them to the pharmacy.

"We can also help." He Mingjun and Xie Mingyi were depressed. They always ordered Second Brother and Xiaoba for Doctor Mao Xiaomei, and never called them?

"It's enough to have two errands." Le Yun got out of the door, put on her shoes to pick out lotus roots, and saw the two handsome guys who quickly took off their shoes and wanted to go to the pharmacy, her eyebrows trembled: "He Xiaoer He Xiaoba , Slowly squeeze the noodles yourself, don't make the door too wide, such a big person is still so boring, really."

"!" He Xiaoer and He Xiaoba were said to be embarrassed, they gently pushed the door, and they really squeezed into the door like noodles.

He Mingjun and Xie Mingyi heard the little girl's words, a black line floated from their foreheads, and silently watched He Xiaoer and He Xiaoba go to the pharmacy.

The lotus roots found by the handsome guys from the He family looked very good. The tender buds at the tip of the last section and the tender buds between the sections were intact. She picked two pieces from each of the red and white lotus roots, and put them in a basket together with the lotus leaf and lotus pod. Take it to the pharmacy.

"The excess can be sent to the kitchen as green vegetables."

"Hey." He Mingjun and Xie Mingyi silently carried the basket out of the East Hall.

When the little girl was talking to the juniors of the He family, the old and young people in the main hall of the upper house also heard it. They wanted to take a look, but they were afraid of getting in the way, so they had to wait under the eaves of the hall.

When they saw He Mingjun and Xie Mingyi take out a basket, they didn't say a word. When the juniors took out the second basket, and then saw the two children each carrying a basket and went straight to the kitchen, they still didn't say a word.

When the children put the lotus roots out of the kitchen, men, women and children hurriedly retreated to the main hall of the upper room, and quietly asked the two children how the little doctor was doing.

"It's very good, white and tender, and her complexion is ruddy." asked the little girl?The little girl is succulent and not at all tired.

Hearing that the little doctor was in good spirits, He Zirui and others felt a little relieved and waited for Xiao Er and Xiao Ba to report the situation.

When he cautiously got into the pharmacy, He Mingsheng and He Mingtao only felt the heat wave hit, quite a bit like entering a sauna room. At that time, a layer of sweat broke out, and even his eyes were covered with sweat.

The brothers who were hit by the heat wave were horrified. They saw the little girl's face was white and sweaty just now. Why did they sweat like rain as soon as they came in?
It took a little getting used to it before I could see the situation. In general, the appearance of the pharmacy was not much different from last night, except that there was a fire in the concrete pool of the trolley, and some large bowls were filled with chopped herbs.

The two handsome men who were arrested for hard labor didn't know what they needed to do, so they stood restrained and gave instructions.

Move the lotus roots into the pharmacy, and Leyun moves them far away from the fire, moves them to the open space in the east near the bathroom, and then folds them back to the fire pool. Take out the medicine that has been boiled overnight and half a day, put it in a pot, and boil it with a lid.

"Your task is to smash these with the machine, and also chop the medicinal materials over there into pieces." Le Xiaoxiao pointed at some medicinal materials placed on the side of the wall, and stood up by himself to hold the thickets beside the shelf bed. Thick books, hide far away, sit and nibble on their own books.

He Mingsheng and He Mingtao: "..." Who the hell is the little girl, she can still read a book in such a hot room, it's just too awesome.

The two of them didn't dare to neglect, they connected the grinder to the power supply, put the herbs in the pot, turned on the switch to smash, smashed them, poured them into a large bowl, and refilled the herbs to smash.

He Mingtao and his second brother worked together to smash the pills. Later, because He Mingsheng's work became more and more easy, he went to chop the herbs. They couldn't figure out why the boiled herbs were still smashed. Of course, they didn't dare to ask.

The indoor temperature is high, and the two handsome guys sweat like rain. They are still not afraid of hardship or fatigue. While burning the fire, they work conscientiously under the high temperature.

Crush the herbs that have been boiled once, and crush other designated herbs, pour them all into the pot and cook them, and also add some herbs chopped by He Xiaoba.

It was already two hours after they finished all the assigned tasks, because the coolie was done, and the two handsome guys were useless. Le Xiaoxiao rudely kicked people out of the pharmacy to keep them cool. go.

The two handsome guys who came and went when they were called: "..." The little beauty slaughtered the donkey... Bah, they are not donkeys, they are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, is this really good?
