Fleeing from famine and farming: I made a fortune by relying on medical skills

Chapter 17 Searching for the Foundation
"Father, apart from my mother, does our whole family go to the mountains to collect herbs?" Huang Lian saw that he was going to work, and his laziness broke out again, his eyes rolled around, and his mind was anxious about how to avoid this job. live.

"What's the matter, do you have to work, your body is either uncomfortable here or painful there.

If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, I will give you a few needles, and I promise you will get better immediately. "Huang Yaozi knew what kind of temperament his second son had. Whenever he had to work, he would find all kinds of reasons to shirk his refusal to work. Huang Yaozi gave his second son an annoyed look, a little bit resentful.

"Father, I'm not feeling sick, it's fine!
Didn't the third brother follow Village Chief Zhuang to the town to handle the settlement of our family?

Once the settlement is done, the villagers will build a house for our family in the afternoon.

We didn’t choose the foundation for our house, so Susu and I went to choose the foundation in the morning, so that the villagers can build a house for our family in the afternoon. "Huang Lian's heart moved, thinking that they hadn't chosen a good foundation to build a house, he immediately used his three-inch tongue and brought Susu with him. According to the past, he could avoid today's job of going up the mountain to collect herbs.

"Uncle, your family's Bai Shao is going to go to the mountains to collect herbs to work at the age of eight, but you are better off, think of ways to avoid not working, and don't bring your daughter with you.

Even if it is necessary to choose the foundation, the father-in-law and mother-in-law will go with Susu, and there is no need for an uncle.

On the contrary, the uncle is young and strong, carrying things up and down the mountain, is it easier to work than us women and children? "Huang Li has always been at odds with the second wife. Seeing that the uncle wanted to be lazy and not work, she got angry and gave her uncle eye drops directly.

In the past, the eldest son of the whole family followed the father-in-law to see a doctor and make money. Both the eldest son and the second son were able to bear hardships and stand hard work.

Sanfang is responsible for managing the pharmacy, purchasing medicinal materials, collecting money and other things, and there is a very capable Susu.

The second room is only the second niece who can help, the others are not engaged in production, the uncle is lazy, Huang Li has long been displeased with their second room, if it is not for the father-in-law's health, the third room Susu and the third child's face Otherwise, she would have split up a long time ago.

The elder sister-in-law who was in charge of the family talked for a while, and she was reasonable. Huang Feng glared at the head of the family angrily, but couldn't say anything to refute. Huang Feng's face turned red and he was breathing heavily.

Even the Chi Shao and Bai Shao sisters at the side saw her father blatantly and shamelessly looking for reasons to be lazy, and the two sisters looked at her father and were speechless.

This father is hopeless.

"Second brother, today you honestly go up to the mountain to collect herbs, and let your mother and Susu go to see the foundation." Huang Yaozi saw that his eldest daughter-in-law already had an opinion on the second child, if he still protects the second child today, there will be conflicts After accumulating, bigger problems and conflicts may arise in the future.

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain to collect herbs." Huang Lian saw his father's serious face, let him say what he said today, fearing that he would not be able to escape, Huang Lian resigned to his fate and went out first with a basket on his back.

"Susu, our grandparents and grandchildren are also looking around to find out which part of our house to build." After Huang Yaozi and the others went up the mountain to collect herbs and left, Huang Zhang also called Huang Zisu to go out and find out. The foundation of their house was gone.

The backyard of Zhuangcun Chang's house opened the back door, and the Huang family didn't have to go out through the main door when they went out.

Huang Zisu came out from the backyard of the farmer's house, and saw that Yunhe Village had beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the scenery was pleasant. The houses of the villagers were all built against the mountains, and a path paved with bluestone slabs of Zhang Xu meandered to the town.

Below the path are paddy fields, and on the high slope behind the paddy fields, there are acres of dry land.

"Susu, is there anything you can do to make your second uncle stop being so lazy?" Huang Zisu, grandparents and grandchildren walked up the bluestone path in Yunhe Village arm in arm. Huang Zhang thought of his second son's temper , she sighed and asked Huang Zisu.

"Grandma, I really have a solution, which is to ask you and grandpa to cooperate. I guess there is at least half of the chance that it will work, and I will change my second uncle's temperament." Huang Zisu walked forward holding Huang Zhang's arm , she looked around and looked at the terrain.

As for the villagers in Yunhe Village she met on the way, regardless of whether they were male, female, old or young, or recognized or not, she smiled and nodded at them, as a greeting.

"What method? Come and listen to me." Huang Zhang asked hurriedly when she heard that her granddaughter had a way to cure her second son's temper.

Before fleeing, she and her old man treated their second son, but unfortunately it didn't work.

"Grandmother, listen to me, when the time comes, my second uncle and I will say that, you and grandpa..." Huang Zisu whispered in Huang Zhang's ear for a while, and gave Huang Zhang some advice, so that she could cover her up when the time came .

"Can this work? In the past, your grandfather and I forced your second uncle to work, and your second uncle would try his best to steal and play tricks.

With this bluff, your uncle can be fooled. "When Huang Zhang heard Susu's idea, she said uncertainly.

"Grandma, my second uncle is smart, but the smarter people tend to think more.

Once this person thinks more, he will think of extreme fear. At that time, I am afraid that he will scare himself, and he will 'figure it out' by himself.

Let's try it today and we'll know. If it doesn't work, I have another move. "Huang Zisu said confidently.

"Sure, it's up to Susu later.

Even if your idea is useless, when the time comes, Susu, you will talk to your second uncle earnestly. Maybe your second uncle will listen to your words and things will change. "

"Grandma, what do you think of this piece of land?" Huang Zisu and Huang Zhang walked along the bluestone road to the back of the mountain. Suddenly, Huang Zisu saw a vacant lot sitting among the rocks, and she pointed to it. Road to Huang Zhang.

The land among the rocks is estimated to be less than one mu, and it is closer to the foot of the back mountain.

On the left is a small stream meandering down to the big river, on the right are patches of tall trees, and in front is the dry land of the village.

Moreover, this piece of land is relatively high, and it can look down on the houses of other villagers from the top station.

"This land is very close to the back mountain, and there is no need to pass through the villager's house to go to the back mountain. It is faster and more convenient for us to go up and down the mountain.

There are mostly stones on the ground among the rocks, and our family does not need to farm in the front yard or backyard. We only need to take care of medicinal materials. Instead, we can pick up other stones and lay them on the ground, so we can build a gravel road.

At that time, it will be very convenient whether to dry medicinal materials or process medicinal materials. "Ms. Huang Zhang followed Susu's fingers and saw that the land among the rocks was very suitable for them to build houses, process and dry medicinal materials. Mrs. Huang Zhang also nodded with satisfaction.

"Then choose this piece of land to build a house, and when grandpa comes back, let him hold the palm of his hand."
