Chapter 36

It was getting dark, and Lu Daxiong didn't come back.

Mrs. Wang has already prepared dinner, but there is still one hot dish left, so when he came back, she hurriedly asked about Lu Xiaoliu's situation.

"He was fine, but he was gonorrheaed by the heavy rain. When we found him, he was huddled against a big tree, his whole body was cold, and he has woken up now."

"But have you seen the doctor?"

"Look, it's just a fever. The village chief sent a message and asked Uncle Yao to take a good look at it. I will pay the bill first."

The village chief had spoken, and the local doctor in the village could only pay for the medicine first.

In fact, even if the village chief didn't say anything, he would probably help out for the sake of fellow villagers.

"What else did the village chief say?"

"I told each of our families to help out if they could. When I came back, I saw Xingwang's daughter-in-law sending some beans and corn grits."

Mrs. Wang nodded, "It's so late, and it's been raining for the past few days. I guess they don't have any firewood to use. In this way, let's not worry, let Xiao Niu send some hot steamed buns over, and then fill them with A pot of corn porridge, Xiaoliu is sick, so he has to eat something warm."

Lu Daxiong agreed, "Don't let the Mavericks go, the road is not easy, I will do it."

Lu Daxiong didn't take off the coir raincoat, and went out again.

Lu Xiaoliu's mother was sitting in the house wiping her tears, and several families had already brought some rice noodles, but the problem was, as Wang said, their family couldn't even drink hot water, so they couldn't drink it. Let the stool be chopped up and used as firewood!
Lu Daxiong came in with an earthen pot in one hand and a basket in the other.

"My mother asked me to bring it here. You can have a bite together first. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

Lu Xiaoya timidly looked at the man who was as tall as a mountain in front of her, and subconsciously hid behind the door, but at the same time, she smelled the fragrance of rice, and couldn't help sniffling.

Lu Xiaoliu's face was reddish, although he was still feverish, he was awake.

"Let Big Bear worry."

"Well, take good care of it, get well soon, and return to the folks soon."

After Lu Daxiong finished speaking, he put down his things and left.

The earthen jar was not too big, and there were four bowls of corn porridge poured out. Xiao Liuniang and Xiaoya each drank a bowl, eating the cornbread in their hands, it was delicious.

Lu Xiaoliu was also hungry and tired, that's why he passed out under the tree. Now that he was eating something warm, his tears fell uncontrollably.

The next morning, it rained again for a while, but by noon, the sky cleared up and the sun came out.

Mrs. Wang steamed a large pot of steamed buns mixed with a handful of white rice, picked up a dozen or so in a basket, and added a few pieces of warm pumpkin to it.

"Xiao Niu, it's sunny today, you go with me to deliver it to Xiaoliu's family."

"Got it, mother."

Mrs. Wang was carrying the basket, while Lu Xiaoliu was holding an earthen pot, which was filled with corn porridge just out of the pot, and more than a dozen red dates were added to it.

When Xiao Liuniang saw them coming, she rushed out to welcome them.

"Okay, let's not talk about these polite things. It's raining these days, so you don't have any firewood in your house? Have you eaten in the morning?"

"Eat. I borrowed some firewood from my neighbor to cook porridge in the morning. I would like to trouble you to send it here. I really feel sorry for it."

"What's the matter! It's all from the folks in the village, so it's right to help. Didn't I ask you to borrow money when Maverick was seeing a doctor?"

This made Xiao Liuniang a little embarrassed.

At the time when Xiaoniu was seriously ill, Wang also borrowed money everywhere. At that time, she was too poor to borrow money, so she only lent five copper coins in total.

Last night plus these things sent over today, it has already exceeded five copper coins.

"Take it quickly, Xiao Liu will have to take medicine later."

As Wang said, she looked at Lu Xiaoliu who was on the bed, her face was a little red, she touched her forehead with her hand, and felt relieved that it wasn't particularly hot.

"Xiao Liu, take your medicine well. Brother Big Bear said that when you recover, he will find you a job to do. As long as you don't be lazy, you can feed your family of three."

Lu Xiaoliu's eyes lit up, and the listless expression just now dissipated.

"Ma'am, Brother Big Bear really said that?"

"Of course, I can still lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask Maverick!"

Lu Xiaoniu walked over with a smile, "My elder brother said, you are more capable than me, as long as you don't hide, life will definitely get better."

Lu Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't ask for anything else, he just hoped that the whole family would be satisfied with enough food.

At this moment, Lu Daxiong and Lu Laohan were standing at the head of the village, and the village chief was gesturing beside him.

"This area is a little over fifteen acres. It belongs to the rich man in the town. He intends to move to the county seat. Our town is too far away from the county seat, and he doesn't want to hire someone to come and watch alone, so he wants to They sold the land. Not only from our village, but also from other villages, it is said that there are seventy or eighty mu of land in total.”

Lu Daxiong nodded, "Okay, then we'll buy it."

These [-] mu of land can be regarded as high-quality fields, so Lu Laohan went down to take a look.

Most of the fields are planted with sorghum and corn, and some places are planted with autumn potatoes and beans.

"What the rich man means is that if you sell per mu, then you will pay 100 taels of silver per mu. If you want this piece of land, you will pay [-] taels. The confiscated longevity fruits in the field will also be discarded. Those that grow on the ground will be sold. All to the buyer."

Lu Daxiong thought it was okay.

The village head is also willing to let such a good field fall into the hands of people in his own village. After all, it can be considered that the fat and water will not flow to outsiders' fields.

Lu Daxiong still had 200 taels of reward silver in his hand, and the village chief also knew that he could afford it, so he brought them over to have a look.

On the way back, he met Lu Sanbao who was holding a bundle of firewood.

"I saw that Xiaoliu's family didn't burn anything, so I thought about sending them some firewood."

Lu Daxiong nodded, he did as much as he could, and giving some firewood was also a gesture of affection.

"Go."

As soon as Wang arrived home with the calf, she planned to cook a cold dish for dinner.

As soon as it was done, Lu Laohan and Lu Daxiong came back. Lu Laohan had a happy face, as if he had picked up money.

"So happy?"

Lu Laohan talked about the land purchase, and the wooden spoon in Wang's hand fell back with a click.

"Really? Fifteen acres? So much?"

What do farmers care most about?
That is the field!

With Haotian, are you still worried about not being able to eat enough?

With a field, it is equivalent to having a family business, and this day will have a bright future.

While Wang was happy, Lu Xiaoniu was so happy that he was about to jump up.

Having grown so big, it was the first time I heard that their family had more than ten acres of fertile land!

Seeing that they were happy, Lu Daxiong just smiled, "Father, let's go to the county tomorrow to pick some good animals."

 It snowed heavily here yesterday, and a few tree branches were broken in the community. The temperature dropped suddenly. Everyone must keep warm.
