My village can't be like this

Chapter 273 Wang Fang: Why is there no movement at all?

Now that the affairs of Zhou Yang's family are over, Zhang An is free, and he plans to take a good rest for a few days.

Zhou Yang got married in the past few days, and Zhang An followed his uncle to take care of Zhou Yang's family affairs.

Although it is said that the two of them are together, they usually go to the old uncle when there is something big.

Ordinary things, such as what is missing, whether to buy or borrow these, everyone is looking for Zhang An.

Although these things are not big, but in general it is really tiring.

The main reason is that you have to take care of everything big and small, keep it in your mind, and have to consider a lot of things. It is really not easy to work hard.

But there is no way around it. In the future, there will be not only Zhou Yang's family in the village, but also the families of several uncles and grandparents. He will have to contribute to whatever matters, big or small.

After all, these are relatives who are relatively close by blood, and they are considered a family before the fifth server is released.

As for the family, it is natural that there are people who are able to contribute. If you meet someone who has no money, you may have to help pay for it.

And the last time Zhang An got married by himself, he didn't care about anything from the beginning to the end, just like a normal person.

It was all solved by the elders, and Zhou Yang and the others, so this time, whether it was in terms of kinship or repaying favors, it was Zhang An who needed to do.

After all, in terms of human relations, you come and I go, so that everyone can get along forever.

The day after New Year's Day, no matter whether it is elementary school or middle school, they all start to prepare for the final exam.

The children in the village have a little joy on their faces, but they are also a little worried.

The happy thing is that after the exam, the winter vacation is coming, and I can have a long time to be cool.

What worries me is that I don't have confidence in the exam, and I don't know how many points I can get in this exam.

After all, it is the end of the year, and the test results are the most important thing in the hearts of children.

If it was during the summer vacation, no one would be afraid, after all, if they failed the exam, at most they would be scolded by their family a few times, and at most they would be beaten.

But not now, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, if you fail the exam, not only will you feel uneasy at home, but your lucky money for the Chinese New Year will probably be wasted.

The children in the village are never afraid of being scolded or beaten, after all, they have been used to it since childhood.

I'm afraid that during the Chinese New Year, other children will use the New Year's money to buy various snacks and toys, and I can only watch with dry eyes.

Regarding this matter, Zhang An felt that they might have thought too much.

No matter how old a child is, they may not get much lucky money.

And even if there is, the parents at home will keep it for you for one night at most.

When it comes to the first day of junior high school, it will be confiscated for you, and it is called helping you to keep it.

I don't know who gave them the courage to even think about buying snacks and toys.

For the next three days, Su Ying will go to school to invigilate the exam.

Zhang An himself has nothing to do at home, so he thought about opening up the remaining open space above the melon patch to serve as a medicine field.

Ever since he studied medicine with Zhang Yixing, Zhang An planned to grow some medicinal materials by himself.

After all, he learned Chinese medicine from Zhang Xingxing. On the one hand, he tested how well he learned, and on the other hand, it depended on the quality of the medicinal materials.

Many people in later generations say that Chinese medicine is not good enough, and that it doesn't work for any disease.

This is not wrong, but there is a reason after all.

On the one hand, there are fewer and fewer people inheriting Chinese medicine, and many people who use the name of Chinese medicine are not very good at learning.

On the other hand, it is the reason of medicinal materials.

In the medicinal material market of later generations, people are really anxious to see it.

Good medicinal materials are basically sold and exported to other countries, while medicinal residues are basically used domestically.

The same disease, the same prescription, the same medicine.

Thirty years ago, patients could be cured, but 30 years later, the effect is negligible.

And this is the same old doctor with more experience than before.

So in later generations, everyone knows that the wild Chinese herbs dug from the mountains are effective.

So whenever you encounter it, people who know the goods will buy it at a high price.

But how much can this be? After all, most Chinese herbal medicines have already been over-harvested when they earned foreign exchange.

Because there are not many left, they are protected by the state.

When they are on the big list, who would dare to take the risk of eating the country's food to dig.

Although there are a lot of medicinal herb resources on the mountain now, and there are no policy restrictions, most medicinal materials can be found on the mountain.

But how much will be used in the future, this Zhang An himself still has no idea.

Knowing that in the near future, many wild herbs will be listed on it.

Zhang An will not allow himself to develop a dependence on the resources of the mountains.

Of course, Zhang An would definitely not let it go if he encountered useful medicinal materials in the mountains, or if someone else dug them up.

And there is another reason, that is, Zhang An knows that the medicinal materials grown in the space must be much more effective than those outside.

And he couldn't get it out of the space out of thin air, so he wanted to open up a medicine field just to deceive people's eyes and ears.

It saves people from finding something wrong when taking medicine out of the space in the future.

Especially for some medicinal materials, if they are on the national list, it will be difficult to explain at that time.

As soon as Zhang An thought of opening up a medicine field, Zhang An began to think about how big a piece of medicine needed to be opened up.

Then Zhang An inspected the space again to see what medicinal materials he had collected inside.

Finally, I was thinking about which medicinal materials are worth planting.

"Honey, don't sit still, it's time to sleep."

Zhang An was contemplating deeply, and Su Ying shouted at him twice.

In the cold winter night, it undoubtedly takes a lot of courage to lie down.

On the cold bed, Su Ying was a little afraid to lie in it by herself.

Usually, Su Ying had to correct her homework, so Zhang An lay down first.

After Zhang An warmed up the quilt, Su Ying had finished her homework and it was time to go to bed.

But today Su Ying has no homework to correct, and Zhang An is just thinking about something, so the bed is still cold.

In this era, very few people in the village would buy electric blankets for use.

One is a waste of electricity, and the other is that electric blankets are not cheap.

Many people use rubber warm water bags. Put a bottle of boiling water in the evening and put them on the bed to warm your feet.

Even some people feel that warm water bags need money to buy and want to save the money.

So they will also go to the clinic to ask for a few bottles of saline, which also has the same effect.

It's just that if the salt water bottle is filled with extremely hot boiling water, it will not warm your feet, but scald your feet.

After all, Zhang An experienced it himself. At that time, just as Wang Fang put boiling water in the quilt, Zhang An stretched his feet into it, scalding a big blister.

In fact, salt water bottles are generally used to pack boiling water, and basically it is necessary to put it into the quilt an hour in advance.

In this way, the quilt and bed can be warmed up, and the salt water bottle will not be so hot when you go to bed.

It's not that Zhang An's family can't afford electric blankets, but Zhang An feels that once he becomes dependent on electric blankets, it's hard to get rid of them.

Moreover, it is said that this thing sleeps too much and is not good for the waist, so Zhang An naturally keeps a respectful distance.

In addition, Su Ying felt that her man's hug was like a ball of fire, and it was more effective than an electric blanket, so she didn't think about using that thing.

So far, Zhang An has been reduced to a bed warmer.

"Hey, here you come, I'll come after I wash my feet."

Hearing his wife's call, Zhang An did not continue to think deeply.

I went downstairs and took out the footbath and poured some hot water. After soaking my feet comfortably, I went back to the bedroom.

The next morning, the rooster at home started to croak.

The sleeping couple was quickly awakened by this natural alarm clock.

Although the sky is still a little gray, it is already a quarter past seven on the clock.

After all, it is severe winter, and it is normal for the dawn to be late, and we still have to give God face.

"What's the matter, Teacher Xiao Su, you don't want to get up yet."

Zhang An quickly got off the bed, and after getting dressed, he found that his daughter-in-law pulled up the quilt and continued to close her eyes.

There was no class for the first two days, and she spent half the night helping Zhou Yang to pick up her relatives, so Su Ying slept a little late for two days.

But the laziness thing is really poisonous, just a little bit of it, and it's like an addiction, and I want to sleep every day.

"Let me sleep a little longer, the quilt is too comfortable, and it's too cold outside, I don't want to get up."

Su Ying didn't even want to open her eyes, she whispered to Zhang An.

As he spoke, he lifted the quilt up to his chin, covering his whole body tightly.

This quilt is the silk winter quilt specially made by Zhang An's two aunts for their nephew's wedding.

Although the whole process is troublesome, it not only takes time, but also takes a lot of energy.

But the silk quilt produced is not only light and fluffy, but also keeps warm when covered.

"I can't sleep anymore. I have to invigilate the exam today. After I sleep again, the students will have no papers to write."

Although Zhang An wanted his daughter-in-law to sleep a little longer, but after all, business matters.

I still remember a time a while ago, when Su Ying couldn't get up in the morning, she asked Zhang An to wake her up in the morning.

But after Zhang An yelled once, Su Ying felt sleepy. At that time, Zhang An didn't continue to call her, and wanted her to sleep for a while.

But Su Ying got up late that day, and didn't have time to eat breakfast, and finally went out to school in a panic.

From then on, although Zhang An felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, he still had to get down to business.

Although Su Ying was allowed to sleep in for a while, the danger of skipping breakfast is still quite serious, and Zhang An didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

Finally, under Zhang An's nagging, Su Ying reluctantly got up.

At this time, Wang Fang had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for the young couple to get up.

Ever since Su Ying moved in, Wang Fang got up early every day to prepare breakfast for her daughter-in-law. She doted on Su Ying even more than her own daughter.

"Well, the buns mom made today are delicious."

Su Ying picked up a steamed stuffed bun and put it in her mouth. The rich flavor of stuffing stimulated her taste buds.

This steamed stuffed bun was learned by Wang Fang only recently, because she felt that there were only a few kinds of breakfast at home, and she was worried that her daughter-in-law would get tired of eating it.

So I recently learned from the old Li family who sells steamed buns in the town, and I even gave them some vegetables for this.

"Mom, Baozi Li and his family also sell this kind of small buns?"

Looking at the drawer of steamed stuffed buns on the table, which was about the size of Xiaolongbao, Zhang An felt a little strange.

Because Baozi Li's family sells very large buns in the town, after all, they cost fifty cents each, and they are all like big bowls, with a lot of stuffing.

But after my mother learned it, she made it so small, one bite at a time, Zhang An almost thought that her mother made Xiaolongbao.

"No, I changed it myself." Wang Fang said with a smile.

"If it's so big, Xiaoying might not be able to eat any of it, so I thought about making it smaller, with more stuffing, so Xiaoying can eat more."

The noodles were made last night, and they were kept awake until today, and the stuffing was made in the morning.

It may be because the flour is ground by Zhang An's wheat planted in the space, so the buns made are particularly delicious.

But Su Ying, who was next to her, ate several at once and couldn't stop.

"Oh, I accidentally ate too much, what should I do?"

Su Ying looked at the steamer in front of her. Except for Zhang An who ate two of the whole drawer of buns, she ate the rest.

She wasn't worried that she would gain weight if she ate too much, but that she would feel uncomfortable holding her stomach for a while.

"It's okay, I'll get you a cup of hawthorn juice, drink some later before going to school."

As Zhang An said, he took out a few hawthorns from the refrigerator, put them in the juicer and began to squeeze the juice.

These hawthorns were all planted by Zhang An in the space. Some time ago, a lot of them were picked out and put in the refrigerator.

It is to prevent today's situation, the problem of indigestion after eating too much.

And Zhang An's own hawthorn tastes very good for digestion, much better than any Jianweixiaoshi tablets.

Su Ying finished drinking the hawthorn juice, checked the time, it was already eight o'clock, and went out to school.

At nine o'clock, the students began to take the test, and at 08:30 all the invigilators had to go to collect the test papers. It was neither too early nor too late.

But something unexpected happened. After Su Ying left, Zhang An was caught by his mother to ask questions.

"Xiao An, you have no problem with Xiaoying, right?"

The old mother's sudden question stumped Zhang An.

"Ah, no, what problem can we have?"

"It's okay, then why you have been married for a few months, why is there no movement from Xiaoying?"

Wang Fang frowned and said.

Now Zhang An finally knew what his mother said.

This was all within his expectations, after all, parents, when they were not married, they urged marriage, and when they got married, they would start to give birth again.

After the first child is born in the family, it is estimated that they will start to urge the second child. This is an unchanging habit of Chinese parents.

"Mom, don't be in a hurry. It's not that there's something wrong with us, but that I haven't wanted anything during this period of time."

As soon as he said this, Wang Fang became anxious, although Zhang An was not very old.

But in the village, many people who are much younger than Zhang An, their children will run away to get soy sauce.

She had wanted to be a grandma a long time ago, and finally her son got married and his daughter-in-law came in, and her wish was about to come true.

But today, the son suddenly told her that he didn't want to have a child now, and the old lady started to get angry.

"Mom, it's not what you think, just listen to my explanation."

Seeing his old mother's eyes were red and about to explode, Zhang An said quickly.

"It's not that Su Ying and I don't want children, but that my godfather showed Su Ying some time ago and found that Su Ying is in poor health."

"So during this period of time, godfather prescribed a dose of medicine, obviously Su Ying needs to recuperate her body."

"When her body is at its best, it will be better for the fetus and for Su Ying herself."

It's not that Su Ying's current physique can't conceive, but Zhang An doesn't want Su Ying to take risks when she can adjust.

After all, with such a big matter as having a baby, who can guarantee that nothing will happen.

"Ah, Xiaoying is not in good health? Why don't you tell me?"

As soon as Wang Fang heard that her daughter-in-law was in poor health, she immediately became anxious.

It's not that she has any other thoughts, but that she really cares about Su Ying. After all, she is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

"Mom, don't worry, it's not that she's not in good health, but that when the condition is at its best, getting pregnant will be good for both the child and her."

"The reason why I didn't tell you is because I was afraid that you would be in a hurry."

After listening to Zhang An's words, Wang Fang calmed down.

But after repeated inquiries, Wang Fang was still not at ease.

Just at this time, Zhang and his party came to look for Zhang An, and Wang Fang simply asked the master directly.

After all these years, Wang Fang has no doubts about Zhang Xingxing's abilities.

"Old sister-in-law, women's physiques are different. Xiaoying's health is not bad, but after being recuperated, it is also good for the fetus, and after the baby is born, there will be no root cause of the disease."

With repeated assurances from Zhang and his party, Wang Fang was finally relieved.

She understood what Zhang Xingxing said. After all, in this day and age, there are not a few women who are sick after giving birth.

Some are left over from confinement, and some are caused when giving birth.

Moreover, Wang Fang herself was unable to continue to give Zhang An a younger brother or sister because of the root cause of her illness when she gave birth.

So she didn't want her daughter-in-law to be like herself, even if there was a little problem.
