Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 56

Fan promised her, "The shampoo sent here will definitely be brought to Fucheng by your grandpa Xu as soon as possible, and I will bring it back to you after exchanging rice with others."

"Okay, Granny Xu." This time, Gu Yingying no longer thanked Fan.

When she got home, Gu Yingying poured out some flour that Fan's sent, mixed some soothing medicinal powder into it, and made some orange cakes for Zhao Xun's mother.

I heard from Sister Xinlan before that after her brother Xun went to fight, Aunt Xiu was worried about brother Xun in her heart, and she couldn't sleep or eat in a hurry.

Knowing that Sister Xinlan was also thinking about Zhao Xun, she comforted Sister Xinlan and said:

"With me here, don't worry. Believe me, when I make some orange cakes for Aunt Xiu to eat, she will be able to rest in peace."

"It's a pity we didn't meet each other..." Xu Xinlan was still worried.

"There will always be a way, so don't worry." Gu Yingying was not sure where she could borrow the flour, but in order not to worry Xu Xinlan, she pretended to speak calmly.

In desperation, I had to make some shampoo and shower gel, and went to Fan for help, so that I could exchange some flour from Fan's friends.

It's just that I didn't expect that I would also get some flour from Fan's.

Make the cakes earlier so that Grandpa Xu can deliver them to Aunt Xiu, so as not to worry Sister Xinlan.

The next day.

After eating breakfast, Gu Yingying took a small hoe, fried rice, and a pot of water, and carried a small medicine basket, to the bamboo forest at the west of the entrance of the village to collect medicine.

If it hadn't been for some difficulties, the Gu family, who had the most land in the village, would not have become a food-deficient household.

Before going to war, father said that he should take good care of mother and second sister-in-law.What I promised my father must be done.

The most important thing is to find a way to save enough rations for the family and food for the first month of hospitality before the snow falls.Otherwise, don't wait until the Chinese New Year. When relatives come to pay New Year's greetings, they still worry about having no rice to cook.

During the recent period, the villagers had harvested the millet and had time to raise more livestock.Some large farmers slaughtered a few of their sheep and took them to Fucheng to exchange food with others.

The neighbors, Mrs. Qian and the others, originally had a lot of Chen Guzi at home.But he still caught dozens of chickens and geese, and caught hundreds of catties of fish, and went to exchange for some rice noodles.

The folks asked Qian, there was food stored in the house, why did he have to exchange it for so much?
Qian said: "There is food at home, so don't panic during the New Year."

It was a coincidence that these words were heard by the second sister-in-law who was feeding chickens in the yard.I also want to take the chickens, ducks, fish, and geese at home to the old man, and ask the old man to help find someone to exchange for some food.

But my mother refused.It is said that Lao Lizheng has sent a lot of food over, and even used shampoo for the family to exchange some food.How can I ask them for help again?
Second sister-in-law can't mention it anymore.

But she saw it in her eyes and knew that the second sister-in-law was worried about the lack of food.He persuaded the second sister-in-law in private:

"Second sister-in-law, don't you still have food at home? When I make more shampoo and shower gel, I can exchange for more food. Anyway, most of the medicinal materials I use are picked in the mountains. It doesn't cost money."

Make more shampoo and shower gel, and exchange them for rice with people in Fucheng.At least five or six hundred catties of rice must be exchanged to be at ease.

In fact, the food sent by the villagers added up to more than 300 catties.

It's just that the father asked the mother to give some money to Mrs. Shen and the others. After all, the second sister-in-law was married to the Gu family, but she took her cousin to live and eat at her mother's house.

Unexpectedly, the cousin was talking too much, saying that it was more practical to give rice.

No, mother had no choice but to negotiate with father and gave Mrs. Shen and the others nearly two hundred catties of rice?

When Gu Yingying thought of this, she was so angry that she wanted to ask Gu Yao for money.Raise such a white-eyed wolf, and come back specifically to harm them!

Walking out of the gate with the medicine basket on her back, Gu Yingying heard Zhu's soft words:
"Sister, why don't you wait a little longer until I feed the pigs and go pick them with you? Look, if you go over there to gather herbs, you will inevitably meet those people..."

Those people refer to Shen Ruyi and the others.

Shen Ruyi strolled to the entrance of the village to wait for the ox cart when she was free, so that she could bring back the things she asked people to buy.And when she went to collect herbs in the bamboo forest, she had to pass by the entrance of the village.It is inevitable to meet those people.

"I'm not a child, it's fine." Gu Yingying was very calm.

"We haven't provoked them before. They came to our house yesterday and said they would sue us. If we met them and started a fight at the intersection, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders?" Zhu knew that Qin didn't want to Arguing with Shen Ruyi and the others was not only unbearable, but also for the sake of face.

But once my sister-in-law is playing tricks, she doesn't care if she is friendly or not, and her reputation is not.

"The second uncle is not afraid of being laughed at, why should we care?" Gu Yingying's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, can face be eaten as food?
Looking up at the sky, he said to Mrs. Zhu:

"Okay, second sister-in-law, I'll go there first. I'll find you when I get back."

After walking a few steps, Gu Yingying met Mrs. Qian. This old woman was carrying a bamboo basket filled with radishes with some soil.

"Grandma Qian, you came to work so early." Gu Yingying greeted with a smile.

"Take advantage of the good weather recently, pull out some radishes, wash and cut them up, and dry some radishes in the sun, and save them for winter." When Qian was speaking, he picked out a radish with little soil from the bamboo basket and put it in the hands of Gu Yingying. Into the small medicine basket.

Knowing that this woman is going into the forest to collect herbs, I brought her some to eat on the way.

Gu Yingying's eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank you very much."

"You girl, are you still being polite to my old lady? Didn't you just know each other for a day or two." When Qian said this, she looked around cautiously, and found that no one else came, so she kindly asked:

"I heard from a relative in Fucheng that Shopkeeper Wang, who runs a bookstore on West Street, wants to invite a master to teach his son. That young master is still young, so he should be eager to learn. Shopkeeper Wang is also willing to give silver taels. I will treat my wife badly. Look, why don't you go and talk to your second uncle?"

Anyway, the second uncle and the others had trouble at home, and the second aunt also said that everyone in the village knew about the sue.Gu Yingying said bluntly:

"You want to find a good job for my second uncle. Let me thank you on his behalf. But in my opinion, my second uncle will probably not agree to it. You see, although we don't need a prefectural city in the countryside, there is Jinxia Academy Such a well-known academy, but at least there are several private schools. The second uncle has not been to a private school in the past few days since he came back."

With such a face-saving second uncle, whose house would he easily go to and give lectures to his son?
Even if the second uncle is willing to go, the shopkeeper Wang over there will not help the second uncle take the family over there and take care of their food and lodging.

During these years, Second Uncle took Second Aunt with him wherever he went.Where would you be willing to part with Second Aunt?

The second sister-in-law also mentioned to her in private that she wanted her second uncle to give lectures in a private school.But later, the second sister-in-law also felt helpless.

"I told you before that my second uncle lost his job, so he can find a job in a private school. But now it seems that I think too much. Second uncle lived in Fucheng for a month, first in a hotel, I didn’t live until I ran out of money, so I went to live with a relative of Xu Shibo. I have the face to say that living in Fucheng is convenient for finding a job. But in the end..."

It's because we didn't find an errand, and let the second aunt and cousin plot against us.

She can imagine the words omitted by the second sister-in-law.

　Thank you (ω`) for reading, and I wish you a happy Tuesday.

　　I was too busy yesterday, and it was almost [-]:[-] when I got home. I forgot to call an elder to wish him a happy birthday. I'm sorry.
