Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 24
Two prescriptions.

One is for Dakui Gujing Guyuan, and the other is for Guifeng's sister-in-law to take care of her body.
After all, giving birth at the age of 50 will cause great damage to the body. If the care is not good, both adults and children will suffer in the future.

The prescription was written, and it was time to pull out the needle.

After entering the room and pulling out the needle, Da Kui suddenly felt full of strength, especially there, he was even more eager to try, holding his head high, wishing to get on the horse and fight for [-] rounds.

Seeing this situation, Li Hongbing hurriedly sounded the alarm.

"Let's say it first, I will definitely not be able to have a house for these three months. It's a matter, or I will fall short, and I will have nothing to do."

"Okay, I'll let him sleep in the woodshed for the next three months." Guifeng's sister-in-law nodded hastily.

Uh!
Da Kui was crying for a moment, but for the sake of the child, he could only forcefully suppress the anger in his stomach and change the subject.

"Uncle Hongbing, you just said that you want to renovate the yard. When will it start? The farm work is not busy now. I will go with Guifeng."

Li Hongbing knew that Da Kui was going to work for free, so he shook his head, "Tomorrow, it's best to call Lao Gen and the others. If there are more people, the work will be faster. One job costs 300 yuan, and the food is enough. Sister-in-law Guifeng will also help hire some people." Cook."

Dakui's eyes widened, and his chest slapped loudly.

"What kind of money do you need for some work? Let's talk about it first. Lao Gen and the others can take the money, but I don't want it. Let Guifeng go over early tomorrow."

"Okay! What are you talking about!" Li Hongbing didn't shirk. Everyone understands everything, but Lao Gen and the others are different. Besides, there is no farm work in the village now. It is the price of a big job, and it is not a small income for the family.

The cigarettes he brought were stuffed into Dakui's arms, and he asked him to send a pack when he called for help.

Rural rules.

To hire people to work, the boss not only has to pay, but also greets them with good cigarettes and wine before work starts, and also manages a meal at noon. If the boss is generous, he even takes care of three meals a day.

Li Hongbing was naturally the latter. After asking Dakui to help find someone, he went home to prepare for tomorrow's food and drink.

"Uncle Red Soldier, wait, you didn't take anything?" Dakui said hastily.

thing?
Li Hongbing looked around, the idiot was there, and the little ones were there too, so he didn't miss anything.

At this time.

Guifeng's sister-in-law came out of the woodshed carrying a heavy snakeskin bag.

"Sister-in-law, can this be allowed?" Li Hongbing quickly waved his hands and refused.

Originally, the conditions in Caogou Village were poor. Farming the land was exhausting for a year, and only a few thousand yuan was left over after throwing away the seeds and fertilizers.

Occasionally, I can go to the mountains to collect goods to subsidize my family, but now there are no good goods at the edge of the forest area. If I want to make money, I can only drill in the deep mountains and old forests. If I don’t pay attention, I will lose my life in it. The village went to the mountains to collect goods, and no less than ten people died.

"Uncle Hongbing, it's just some cured chicken, cured duck, cured meat, fungus, and mushrooms. The chickens, ducks, and pigs are all raised at home. The fungus and mushrooms are picked from the mountains by me, and they are worthless."

While talking, Da Kui stuffed the snakeskin bag into Li Hongbing's arms.

"You don't know. The year before last, I went to the provincial capital to see a doctor. The doctor said that the test tube used would cost more than 6 yuan to open my mouth. Where did you ask me to get so much money? Fortunately, I met you. You are the eldest son of the old Liu family. My lord, I can't even get this little thing out."

"Yes! Yes! Uncle Hongbing, you just go ahead, or our family will still have the face to stay in Caogou Village." Guifeng's sister-in-law also chimed in.

Seeing that he couldn't push it away, Li Hongbing had no choice but to take the snakeskin bag, thinking to himself that when he finally paid the bill, he would count Da Kuiduo as a labor, and treat it as the money for buying vegetables.

The next day.

The sky is bright.

Li Hongbing got up and got busy in the kitchen.

As soon as the steamed buns were taken out of the pot, the silly boy didn't mind burning his mouth, so he grabbed one with each hand and squatted on the edge of the stove to gobble it up.

The little wolf dogs yelled and yelled in the yard, followed by Dakui's loud and clear voice.

"Uncle Hong Soldier, are you up yet, we are here."

"Here we come. Idiot, go and open the door, and move the square table and chairs to the yard." At this time, Li Hongbing didn't care too much. The steamed buns had just come out of the pot, but the bacon soup in the other pot had already started to boil.

Sha Wa wiped the steamed bun dregs off his hands, got up and walked out of the kitchen.

After a while, Li Hongbing heard footsteps behind him, followed by Guifeng's sister-in-law exclaiming.

"Uncle Hong Soldier, what are you doing with so much work, you can't make it through."

"Is it okay to work without eating?" Li Hongbing didn't look back, busy stirring the broth in the pot.

Guifeng's sister-in-law grabbed the spoon and pushed Li Hongbing away, "Get out quickly, how can a man enter the kitchen."

"All right, all right, sister-in-law."

Li Hongbing walked out of the kitchen with a grin. There were more than a dozen people sitting or standing in the yard, some men and some women.

And the four little wolf dogs in Shawa's arms were struggling, whining and growling at the strange villagers.

"Uncle Hong Soldier, your dog is not bad, he knows how to take care of the house at such a young age." Da Kui laughed, it seems that because of some later reasons, his spirit is not so good.

Li Hongbing signaled the silly boy to put down the little wolf dogs, and pointed to the villagers in the yard, "They are all our own people, don't bark."

Ow!

The four little wolf dogs nodded in unison, ran to the steps of the main room and squatted down, still staring at the villagers vigilantly.

Seeing Li Hongbing appearing on the stage, everyone hurried over and chatted with each other.

"Uncle Hongbing, if you are looking for someone to work, tell me directly, what kind of wages will you give back? If you come back to live, I will not give you anything. The 30 catties of soybeans harvested last year have not been treated with pesticides, so it is considered a welcome gift."

"That's right, it's too outlandish. I took three dried pheasants, and the stew is good."

"I brought some shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, and dragon head vegetables. Don't be disgusted, Uncle Red Soldier."

"I brought dried sauerkraut and pickled potherb mustard."

While smoking, Li Hongbing accepted the gift and chatted for a while. Finally, it was a woman with long hair covering her face and a slim figure, wearing clothes with more patches than the silly boy.

The woman lowered her head in embarrassment, holding the vegetables tied with straw ropes, her voice was a little panicked, "Brother Red Soldier, I picked some wild leeks."

Brother Red Soldier!
It was the first time someone called him that in the village.

Li Hongbing looked curiously, but found that the woman kept her head down, covering her face with her long hair.

"It's time to eat!" Guifeng's sister-in-law brought a basin full of her head, and behind her were Yuzhi's sister-in-law, Xiu'e's sister-in-law and two middle-aged women who had never seen each other. They walked in with a basin of bacon soup. courtyard.

Dabai, Mantou, and snow-white and fragrant bacon soups, as soon as they were put on the table, there was a sound of sucking and sucking in the rice field.

Interrupted by the sound of swallowing saliva, Li Hongbing forgot to look for this strange woman, anyway, she was just a guest when she came, and there was no shortage of food at home.

Li Hongbing picked up the spoon and stirred it in the soup basin. When he picked it up, the spoon was full of finger-thick bacon slices, which filled more than half of a sea bowl. He scooped up some broth, sprinkled with a handful of wild onions, and handed it to Dakui. Then greet the villagers.

"Don't stand still. Steamed buns and bacon soup are enough to keep you full. Don't drink wine, and drink it at noon."

Everyone in the rice field saw it, and they were secretly dumbfounded.

This spoon is at least half a catty of bacon, and whoever dares to eat this way for work and dinner will be the rich man of the Red Army.

"Uncle Hongbing, you are dying." Seeing Li Hongbing's extravagance, Guifeng's sister-in-law snatched the spoon and handed it to sister-in-law Xiu'e beside her, pulling him aside, pointing to the woman with long hair covering her face, "Uncle, that's Shan Xing, you don't recognize it anymore."

Mountain apricot!

Li Hongbing's expression instantly changed to astonishment.

The memory goes back to 24 years ago.

An innocent girl with shofar braids followed her up and down the mountain and river like a dog skin plaster, her big eyes were as clear and bright as streams and rivers, and the girl's innocent words seemed to echo in her ears.

"Brother, I want to marry you as a wife!"
