The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 26: Madam Liu's Illness

Mrs. Zhang is used to being sloppy. Her mother-in-law never cared about these little things before, but now she actually requires the kitchen to be tidy and the stove to be clean.

Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything, but she kept complaining in her heart: "It's as if you are cleaner than me."

Yu Maimai cleared his throat and asked again: "Did you hear what I said? This stove is for cooking. It's so sloppy. How can the food be eaten?"

Although Mrs. Zhang had thousands of reluctances, she reluctantly nodded and agreed.

Yu Maimai is not stupid, she sat down on the small bench, the two daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law had more ideas, although she agreed with her mouth, she was not convinced in her heart.

She decided to start now, she would set an example for a while, and let her two daughters-in-law and two grandsons do things according to her appearance. In this way, no one would say anything?
Breakfast is ready, the family sits together drinking porridge and eating hot steamed buns, Ning's arm is still not healed, and it is difficult to reach out to pick up vegetables. Seeing Ning's struggling to reach out, Yu Maimai picked up a chopstick of vegetables To Ning.

Ning blushed and said, "Mother, thank you."

"You're welcome, remember to apply the medicine I prescribed to you on time, so as not to get infected."

Immediately afterwards, Tuntun took out his small notebook and handed it to Yu Maimai.

"Grandma, look, I wrote this, okay?"

Children like to compare each other. Seeing that Tun Tun took out the small book, Nan Nan also took the words she had written and handed them to Yu Maimai confidently.

Yu Maimai picked up the bowl, took two mouthfuls of porridge, and just after biting a piece of steamed bun, he took over his grandson's notebook and began to read it.

"Well, that's right. Nannan's characters are relatively large, while Tun Tun is relatively small. Compare the two of you. This character should be neatly written. It should not be too big or too small, but it's not bad. There is progress, come on."

As he said that, Yu Maimai touched the heads of the two children, Tuntun and Nannan happily put away the notebook as if they had won military medals.

Thinking that the seeds were about to be planted, and everyone in the village was scrambling to hire people to plow the land, Yu Maimai thought of Uncle Liu and said, "After dinner, I will go to Uncle Liu's house and ask to help us plow the land. When the time comes, you Both of them went to the field, one followed the soil clods, and the other picked up grass roots. The land was full of weeds and hadn’t been plowed for many years. Therefore, the soil clods had to be broken up, and the weed roots had to be picked out. Save the crops before they come out, and the weeds will grow out."

Ning and Zhang nodded, bowed their heads and continued to eat.

In order to prevent conflicts between the two daughters-in-law, Yu Maimai divided the household work fairly, cooking, feeding the pigs, cleaning the house, and doing the field work every day. When she is free, she also asks her two daughters-in-law to do a little handwork.

In this regard, they have nothing to say, whoever's turn will do it.

After dinner, it was Ning's turn to wash the pot. Yu Maimai glanced at her injured arm and said, "Boss, you come to wash the dishes today. The second's arm is still injured, so you can't touch the water. Let's discuss it."

Mrs. Zhang had no objection either, and obediently went to wash the dishes.

Ning was carrying a basket, and she was going to pick some mushrooms on the mountain.

After eating, Yu Maimai turned around and went to Uncle Liu's house. Their house was still some distance away from Uncle Liu's house. One was at the head of the village and the other was at the end of the village.

She changed into clean clothes, prepared a basket of eggs, and came to Uncle Liu's house.

Uncle Liu didn't go out to drive a cart today. The bullock cart was placed outside the yard, and there were weeds that had just been poured into the cow trough, and a basket was placed next to the cow trough.

A faded wooden door was ajar, and the yard was quiet.

Yu Maimai stepped forward to knock on the door, and while knocking on the door, he shouted, "Is Uncle Liu at home?"

At this time, Uncle Liu came out from the back room, with a gray shirt on his shoulders and a cigarette pouch in his hand, he came out in a hurry.

With a creak, Uncle Liu opened the door, saw Yu Maimai, and said in surprise: "Oh, it's you, I didn't expect you to come, come in quickly, please come in."

Yu Maimai came in with a basket of eggs. The room was narrow and dark, with a hole in the roof. There was a woman lying on the kang. It seemed that her condition was serious, she was wheezing so much that it was difficult to breathe out.

"Old lady, the doctor I hired for you is here, do you know him?"

The old woman sat up with difficulty, let out a sigh of relief, glanced at Yu Maimai in front of her, and immediately grinned.

"I said, why are you still bluffing me when you're old? She's the aunt of the Zhang family, but why did you say you hired me a doctor? It really is."

Yu Maimai didn't know how to explain, he hesitated for a while, and said: "However, I came today to see a doctor for you."

The old woman waved her hand and said in despair: "Don't coax me. It's been so many years, how many doctors have you called? It's not a waste of money. I'm just like this, waiting for the king of hell to accept me, I will go .”

It can be seen that the old woman is still unwilling to believe that Yu Maimai can cure diseases, and she even rejects her a little.

This old lady Liu is just afraid of spending money. In fact, what is the situation at home, how can old man Liu have the money to hire a doctor?

Yu Maimai sat on the edge of the Kang, crossed his legs together, and said with a smile: "I learned a little from others before, and I came here today for two things. First, to see a doctor for you. I hope you get better. Second, Second, let Uncle Liu give my family farmland, of course, this money is indispensable."

"It's fine to see a doctor. You can discuss it with the old man to see if you can farm the land someday, so go ahead, folks in your big hometown, don't fool me."

Yu Maimei took the old lady's hand and said: "Don't worry, I won't ask for money. I will treat you for free, and this medicinal material does not cost money. I just use other people's prescriptions to treat your illness. You After taking this medicine, if it feels better, then it’s right.”

"Oh, you don't want money, how can you do it, if it is expensive medicinal materials, it must be money, but if you can try it, that would be the best."

It seemed that she still hoped that her condition would get better. Yu Maimai saw that the old lady Liu had gained confidence, so she continued, "Don't worry, this medicine really doesn't cost money. You can try it?"

The old man Liu who was standing aside said, "Yes, yes, yes, if this medicinal material can cure your illness, it would be the best. I don't want a penny for this cultivated land."

Not caring about anything else, Yu Maimai quickly ordered Uncle Liu to find a stone pestle and smash the medicinal materials he brought, and then spread it on his chest, and put the other stems and leaves in a pot to boil for about half After an hour, it was poured into the bowl.

Granny Liu picked up the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, patted her chest and said, "Okay, anyway, I can't avoid death anyway. If these medicines are useful for my illness, I'll be fine if I take them. If they don't work, then forget it." gone."
