The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 28

"Brother, drink the medicine." Li Zhizhi brought medicine to Li Mingli, who fell ill after being exposed to the rain that day.

Li Mingli felt a headache at first, and thought it would be better after a night of sleep, but he didn't tell anyone.Later, it was Li Mingli who found out that the third brother, who was usually good at bed, was lying in bed and couldn't get up. When he went to call someone, he found something was wrong. At that time, Li Mingli had already developed a low-grade fever and his head was groggy.

Li Zhiming hurriedly told Mrs. Wang to invite Dr. Sun to come and see her.It was only after taking medicine that Li Mingli's fever subsided and he broke out in sweat.

It had been several days, and Li Mingli felt that he didn't need to drink the medicine anymore, and refused to take the medicine by himself, because the medicine was really bitter.

Li Mingli looked at the bowl of medicine in front of him, and kept swallowing his saliva. Just smelling the smell could make his saliva bitter.

At the moment in the inn in the county, Li Mingren was lying weakly on the bed, coughing twice from time to time.

"Brother Ming, I hired a little boy to take care of you for a few days. You should take care of your illness in the next few days. Take the exam and relax. It's the same when you take the exam next year when you're healthy." Liu Chengmin was concerned.

Li Mingren fell ill during the second exam. Before the exam, Li Mingren was too nervous. He stayed up late every day to review and couldn't sleep well at night.Li Mingren planned to persevere, but in the third exam, he was exhausted and passed out.

"Thank you Brother Liu, please take care of Brother Liu these days, you go to rest, ahem." Li Mingren said weakly, his heart was broken to the extreme, if it wasn't for the lack of energy now, Li Mingren would definitely want to jump into the river .

Li Mingren is doomed not to be on the list this time without looking at his grades.On the contrary, Liu Chengmin finally passed the county test this time, but it was hard to say it in front of Li Mingren, for fear of irritating Li Mingren.Liu Chengmin and Li Mingren were classmates for three years and took the county examination together for two years.He also knew Li Mingren more or less. After so many years of exams, he got into a dead end and his body collapsed.

"Hey~" Liu Chengmin sighed outside the door, I'm afraid this time Li Mingren will be in trouble, "keep an eye on brother Ming at all times, take care of him, and tell me if you have anything," Liu Chengmin instructed the little boy beside him.

The little boy nodded: "Yes." He went in to take care of Li Mingren.

Li Mingren lay on the bed blankly, not speaking, only coughing twice occasionally.When it was time to drink the medicine, the little boy drank it as soon as he was fed, completely unaware of what he was doing.

Here in Lijiacun, Lijia Tangfang, Wang sent Li Mingli to the school in the town to inquire about the situation. According to the usual time, the rankings have been released for several days, and Li Mingren has not come back.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Li anxiously waited for the news to come back, "Father, mother, I went to ask my husband, and he said that this time my eldest brother still failed the exam, and now he is ill and is still recuperating in the county, and his classmates are taking care of him." Let's go." Li Mingli hurried home and finished talking before he could sit down and take a sip of water.

"Hey, I don't know how the boss is doing." Wang said worriedly.

Zhao Yunlan said beside him: "Mother, sir, he said that he is sick, and a classmate is taking care of him, so let's wait for a while."

"Hey, I'm afraid that the boss will be dead-headed again this time." Old man Li said beside him.

"Father, mother, I'll pick up my husband when I'm done with this matter."

"Mother knows that there are a lot of things in this family, and now they are busy with business. Hey, my son is useless! You are the only one who has worked hard."

"What did mother say, let's get things ready tomorrow. I hope it won't rain again tomorrow." Zhao Yunlan changed the subject, not wanting to worry about Li Mingren anymore.

It's been raining for a while these days.Old man Li went to the field every day to look at it. During this period of time, the wheat was filled with grout, so he was afraid that there would be too much rain!Old man Li was very worried. Fortunately, the bamboo rabbit weaved by old man Li sold more than 100 copies, and then he made a bamboo rooster, which sold for more than 200 copies. This relieved old man Li's melancholy.

After the family finished talking, they went back to their room to rest.The next day Zhao Yunlan went to buy some tables, chairs and benches.

The sweet potato flour is almost ready, only two tables and eight benches are missing. There are not enough tables and chairs at home, so Zhao Yunlan had to go to the village to collect them. I asked some people who had more tables and chairs at home, and asked Zhao Yunlan to take them at first. No, Zhao Yunlan had to give money for everything, but in the end she couldn't hold back Zhao Yunlan, so she had to accept Zhao Yunlan's money.Zhao Yunlan only said that she was going to the town to do some small business, so she didn't say anything more.

Zhao Yunlan also went to the village head's house to borrow cattle. The cattle in the village head's house did not go out to pull people except for farming on weekdays, so the cattle were free during this time.Zhao Yunlan, the big stove at home, also moved to the town, and ordered a small stove to cook medicine for Mrs. Li.

When everything was ready, old man Li asked someone to count the day, and Zhao Yunlan drove the ox cart to the town with the Li family brothers and sisters.

The stall in the town has long been optimistic. It is the place where the baskets were sold before. There is a large space there, which is convenient for placing tables and chairs.

Zhao Yunlan was glad that it didn't rain on the first day of setting up the stall, and the feeling of riding an ox cart was indeed much better than walking.

The four of them came to the town early, set things up, set up roads, boiled water, and began to wait for customers to serve.

Zhao Yunlan also took out the sign board that had been prepared earlier, wrote hot and sour powder on it with charcoal and put it on the side.

The number of people gradually increased. Everyone was curious about what hot and sour noodles were, but no one came to serve a bowl. Li Mingli and his brothers and sisters were in a hurry. Seeing that people bought one after another from the food shops next to them, they didn't open for business. , the three of them turned around in a hurry.

"You three brothers and sisters don't stand there, come and sit down, we each eat a bowl of noodles." Zhao Yunlan called the brothers and sisters to sit down.

Zhao Yunlan made the noodles quickly, and the smell gradually dissipated, causing passers-by to stop. The brothers and sisters forgot to be anxious after eating the noodles, and the more they ate, the more excited they were.

"What is this hot and sour powder? Give me a bowl to taste." A big man passed by, seeing the delicious food of the Li family brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but ordered a bowl.

Zhao Yunlan hurriedly stood up, "Okay, guest officer, just wait, the empty table has just been wiped, rest your feet, drink some water and wait for a while."

Li Mingli stood up and poured a bowl of water for the big man.The brothers and sisters hurriedly finished eating and cleared the table.

Zhao Yunlan quickly cooked the noodles. The big man took a sip, took another sip, and said, "The more you eat, the more enjoyable it is. This is hot and sour noodles. It's soft and glutinous, and the taste is not bad."

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "It's fine for the guest officer to eat delicious food."

Now customers come to eat hot and sour noodles one after another, and they are full of praise for the taste if they can eat it.Those who couldn't taste this taste didn't say anything, they just stopped coming.

On the first day, everyone came up with a novelty, and there were a lot of people who came to eat.So much so that the sweet potato flour that was brought was not enough. "The guest officer will come back tomorrow, today's fans are all sold out." Zhao Yunlan greeted customers who wanted to eat noodles.

The brothers and sisters of the Li family were busy tidying up the tables and chairs, washing the dishes and chopsticks.It is inconvenient to set up a stall here because water is not convenient, and it takes a long distance to find a well. Today, Li Mingli and Li Mingzhi took turns to fetch water for use.

After tidying up here, Zhao Yunlan took his brothers and sisters to move the things to Buzhuang. Earlier, he told shopkeeper Wu that he wanted to rent a room in the backyard of Buzhuang to store things, otherwise he would use the village head's house every day. The bullock cart is not convenient after all with so many things.It's just that shopkeeper Wu refused to ask for money.

"Shopkeeper Wu, the third child has driven the car to the backyard, please open the door. These are vermicelli brought for you. Take it home and let the cook soften it with water. Cook it and it will be ready to eat." .” Zhao Yunlan was talking to Shopkeeper Wu.

"Miss Zhao, you are so polite, so I thank you. My wife liked the fans you sent over last time. My youngest daughter also said it was delicious and wanted to meet you." Shopkeeper Wu greeted "Come here, let me tell you about the business situation of the first flower."

Zhao Yunlan followed shopkeeper Wu to the main room in the backyard, and Li Zhiming and Li Mingmei went to the backyard to help store things.

"Ms. Zhao, the flowers are selling pretty well these days. All the goods that I rushed to make a few days ago are sold out. Fortunately, the people on my side have been rushing to make them. Otherwise, they almost sold out yesterday, and even the cloth shop The cloth business is getting better." Shopkeeper Wu looked smug.

"Then congratulations to shopkeeper Wu." Zhao Yunlan smiled and cupped her hands.

"Where, it should be congratulations." The two complimented each other.

The two talked about the follow-up, Zhao Yunlan saw that the weather was getting worse again, so she hurriedly said goodbye and went home.
