After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Chapter 26
The next day.

When Jiang Sanlang came back from his second brother's house, he said to his wife with joy on his face: "Second brother slept very deeply last night, and didn't cough much, and his fever has subsided this morning."

"Really, ouch, this is great." Chunniang was pleasantly surprised, "Second brother, it's getting better."

"It should be." Jiang Sanlang smiled, "The medicine prescribed yesterday is still effective, and it will improve after a meal."

"It's just too expensive, alas." Jiang Sanlang shook his head and sighed, "One dose is always more."

Chun Niang didn't answer, she thought to herself, it's not enough money for her feelings yesterday, if she keeps spending like this in the future, her family will not be able to survive.

But it won’t work if you don’t take it, alas, I’m really worried.

Ying Bao was also very worried.

Erbo suffers from lung disease, which is not easy to treat, so the medicine cannot be stopped, and he must take three courses of treatment.

The three courses of treatment are about 45 days. If calculated as one dose of medicine every five days, you will get ten taels of silver.

Twelve taels, that's ten thousand taels. Uncle, grandparents, and my father, the sum of all their money may not necessarily be ten taels.

So, where does the drug money come from?

How about she feed the second uncle some Wudingzhi to make him get better soon?

Although I don't know if that thing can cure lung disease, but Erbo has obviously improved, which shows that Wudingzhi should be effective.

Thinking of this, Yingbao ran to the west room and entered the cave in an instant.

One-fifth of the Wudingzhi in the crevices of the rock wall has been removed, but the roof of the cave seems to have grown a lot.

But that place was too high, no matter how hard Yingbao tried, he couldn't get up.

Forget it, just ignore it for the time being, and think about it after the rock wall is used up.

Ying Bao carefully picked off the Wudingzhi leaves one by one, put them in a clean pottery bowl, and stopped when she reached thirty pieces.

I picked up a rolling pin and pounded them into a paste, and then added some pool water into it and stirred, and half a bowl of transparent medicine paste was successfully produced.

At noon, Jiang Sanlang was boiling medicine in a medicine pot in the courtyard of his second elder brother's house. When he saw the little girl running up and down, he asked, "Have Bao'er eaten?"

"Yeah." Yingbao squatted on the ground staring at the bubbling pot of medicine, and said, "Aniang asked you to go home for dinner."

Leng's here doesn't know how to prepare meals for her third uncle, and she doesn't even want to make medicine for her husband, let alone enter the room where her husband stays.

Probably because of fear of infection, because Li Langzhong said that people who serve close to him need to cover their mouth and nose with a cloth towel.

Of course, Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Dalang don't worry about her coming.

After all, this woman is cold-hearted, it would be bad if she secretly hides the ginseng slices and donkey-hide gelatin in the medicine, and it's not like she hasn't done this kind of thing before.

A few years ago when Jiang Erlang was ill, she took out the ginseng slices from the medicine bag and hid them under the bed together with money and things. Later, Jiang Liushi found out by accident and was so angry that she wanted to divorce her on the spot.

If it weren't for the fact that Erni was still young, she was pregnant with another child, and Jiang Erlang desperately protected her, Jiang Liu would definitely send her second daughter-in-law back to her natal family that time.

It was at that time that the three Jiang family brothers separated.

All these things were obtained by Yingbao eavesdropping on the conversation of her parents.

"Father will go home when your second uncle finishes drinking the medicine." Jiang Sanlang said, holding a piece of sackcloth for his hands, lifted the lid of the medicine jar and looked at it, and when he saw that it was almost the same, he removed the charcoal fire and took a big earthenware bowl to hold the medicine .

The concoction was poured into the pottery bowl, half of which was dark, accompanied by a strong bitter taste.

Seeing the little girl staring at the medicine bowl, Jiang Sanlang was afraid that she would make trouble again, so he said, "Bao'er, you go back first, and dad will be back soon."

Ying Bao blinked, "I'll wait for Dad."

Jiang Sanlang was helpless, took the medicine bowl and went to the west room, and said: "Then don't be naughty."

"Bao'er is not naughty, Bao'er wants to visit Uncle Er."

Yingbao jumped up and down behind her father, and ran into the West Room where the second uncle lived.

In the west room, Erni was standing by the kang, talking to her father with a worried face.

The little girl seemed to grow up all of a sudden, explaining to her father why her mother was not at home in a soft voice.

"Father, mother took my younger brother to my uncle's house. She said that grandma was not feeling well, so she would come back after a visit."

Jiang Erlang was lying on the kang with his eyes half closed, unable to see any expression, he clenched his palm weakly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Got it."

Ying Bao was surprised.

The second aunt, Leng, brought the tiger back to her mother's house at such a time.

Her husband is sick, what is this woman thinking.

No wonder I didn't see Huzi, it turned out he was taken away by his mother.

"Second brother, it's time to drink the medicine." Jiang Sanlang put the medicine bowl on the small table, glanced back at the little girl, and warned her not to touch the medicine bowl, and then went to help the second brother get up.

Cherry Po: .
She hasn't done anything yet.

Looking back and seeing Sister Erni, she was also looking at him, scratching her head.

"Sister Erni, let's go to Uncle's house to find Sister Dani, shall we?"

Yingbao knew that it was impossible to sneak Wudingzhi into the medicine bowl now, so she had to settle for the next best thing and invite Erni to find Dani.

Erni shook her head: "No, I want to take care of Daddy."

Mother is not at home, and it is inconvenient for father to drink saliva, so she must stay at home.

Yingbao pouted, and walked out of the room sullenly.

Jiang Sanlang fed his second brother the medicine, helped him to lie down again, and said, "Second brother, you sleep for a while, I will come back as soon as I get back."

"En." Jiang Erlang nodded and closed his eyes.

When Jiang Sanlang came out, he saw that his daughter looked like a wilted vegetable leaf, he couldn't help laughing, squatted down and clapped his hands: "Bao'er, come here, come home with Dad."

Yingbao didn't want to go home, but it seemed useless to stay here by herself, so she stretched her arms to be held by her father, and asked unwillingly, "Father, has Second Uncle eaten? Shall we bring him food?"

"I've already had breakfast." Jiang Sanlang walked home with his daughter in his arms. "At noon, your uncle will cook porridge and bring it over, so we don't need to deliver it from our house."

"Oh." Yingbao was even more disappointed.

When she got home, she saw her father go to eat in the house, so she ran to her uncle's house.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the uncle's house, he saw Yuan Bao holding a stone ball in his arms, and was about to play with some boys in the threshing field.

Seeing his little cousin coming over, Yuan Bao thought he was reading the books as before, so he said, "Yingbao, the books are all on the table, you can read them yourself, I'm going to play football."

He has been addicted to football games recently, and even Yoyo has fallen out of favor.

Ying Bao blinked: "Where's Sister Dani?"

"Light the fire in the kitchen." Yuan Bao had already run away after speaking.

In the kitchen, Miss Dani is really cooking porridge, and the sweet rice fragrance overflows with the heat.

Ying Bao pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Sister Dani, are you cooking porridge?"

"Yeah." Dani nodded, and specifically explained: "It's for the second uncle."

"Oh." Yingbao became more and more happy, and quickly asked: "Are you going to send it to the second uncle later?"

"I'll send it when it's cooked." Dani thought that the little cousin wanted to eat, so she whispered, "I'll save some for you later."

Yingbao shook her head: "No, I'm full."

After a pause, he said again, "Can I serve the porridge for you?"

Dani didn't understand why the little cousin wanted to help her serve the porridge, so she nodded: "Okay, then be careful, don't spill it."

"I won't spill it." Yingbao stood on tiptoe excitedly to look at the steaming pot, and made gestures. Seeing that she couldn't reach the pot, she quickly moved a stool and put it beside the stove.

After a while the porridge was ready, Dani turned off the fire, brought a pot, and a big bamboo spoon, and opened the pot.

A puff of white steam wrapped in a strong rice fragrance hits the face.

Yingbao was afraid that Dani would repent, so she immediately grabbed the bamboo spoon and stood on the stool.

Dani: .
Avoiding Dani's strange eyes, Ying Bao scooped up the porridge with a bamboo spoon and poured it into the jar.
