Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 168 The hotness of chili pepper, the hotness of chili pepper

As soon as she heard what he said, Li Yuzhu became anxious. She picked up the shovel and said seriously:

"Nanzhou, don't talk nonsense!"

"No matter how bad it is, having a woman in the house is better than living alone."

"Then no matter how indifferent Dou Xuemei is, she is married to our family's famous matchmaker. How could she be so silent and scattered like this?"

Mentioning Dou Xuemei, Wang Honghe felt a headache, sighed, and stopped talking.

Wang Aiduo panted heavily, her little face flushed with heat, and said hurriedly:

"Brother, what's going on with my sister-in-law?"

"During this period, have you ever gone to Doujiazhuang to look for her?"

"She won't come back during this whole busy week, and won't earn any work points. What will she eat when she comes back in the future? She can't live in her parents' house until the Chinese New Year, right?"

When Wang Nanzhou heard this, he became hysterical for a while, remained silent, and started working again with his head down.

The whole family was waiting for his reply, and upon seeing this, they sighed anxiously.

"I've been there, but I didn't dare to enter the village."

Wang Nanzhou was silent for a while and then said in a low voice, "I met an old man from their village on the way. He had seen me and knew that I was Dou Xuemei's son-in-law."

"As soon as he saw me, the old man pointed at my nose and laughed, saying that I was so brave and dared to go to their village to ask for a wife. The incident of the beating of the five brothers of the Dou family in Wangjia Village was well known to everyone. It’s become a joke. If I dare to enter the house, I will be blocked and beaten to death.”

"Although my life is low, I still want to support my parents until they die, so I don't dare to go."

Hearing this, the family was stunned with their mouths open.

It wasn't that Wang Nanzhou was timid, but he didn't expect the matter to be so big.

The five brothers of the Dou family have always been bachelors in the village. They stand out like arrogant men. Who can't take a high look?
But even this tough-minded Wutiao man suffered a big loss in Wangjia Village. He came to ask for an explanation for his sister, but was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he looked like a pig's head. How could he not be laughed at?
Isn't it certain that there is hatred in my heart?
When Li Yuzhu thought of this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that her eldest son didn't go. Otherwise, there would have been a big deal and the mother would have been heartbroken.

"Humph, are they still reasonable?"

When Si Ya heard this, she became very angry. She recalled the miserable scene of the whole family at that time, gritted her little tiger teeth and said:

"Forcing the father-in-law and mother-in-law to kneel down in front of the daughter-in-law in order to seek an explanation for my sister? That's something even an animal can't do!"

"If the villagers couldn't stand it, we wouldn't know how we were bullied."

"They are asking for the beating!"

At that time, in order to save her parents and brother, the little girl took a sorghum pole and fought with someone for the first time.

Now that I think about it, I'm trembling all over, pouting my lips, and tears are still rolling in my eyes.

It can be seen that Wang Aiduo, a 16-year-old girl, mustered up so much courage to dare to attack several vicious men.

"You can't say that."

Wang Honghe sighed, with his usual simplicity, "It's better to let go of enemies than to end them, not to mention we are still in-laws."

"Then Dou Xuemei is Nan Zhou's wife after all, how can we divorce her?"

"Besides, there is little Hai Bo here. When the couple has a child, they have roots that cannot be separated."

What he said was more like comforting himself.

Wang Nanzhou lowered his head and said nothing, just working.After a while, my body was soaked with sweat.

But what kind of person is the eldest brother?All my thoughts are written on my face.

Obviously he still can't let go of his wife and children.

Wang Chengzhou thought about it and said with a smile:

"Brother, what's the big deal!"

"We are all young people. After a fight, it is over. How can we have any deep hatred? Don't listen to that old man's nonsense. He is just trying to scare you."

"When you are free in a few days, I will accompany you to Doujiazhuang. Let's bring some gifts. My sister-in-law and Haibo will follow us back as soon as they see you."

When the whole family heard this, they couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

"Eh!"

Wang Nanzhou finally showed a smile on his face and started working harder and harder.

Wang Aiduo blinked his eyes, wondering why he didn't believe it.

If things were so easy to handle, wouldn't Dou Xuemei take the child and not come back for two months?
However, now that Wang Chengzhou has said this, the family seems to have a backbone and is no longer so anxious.

A morning passed.

It was almost noon, and when I looked up at the sky, the sun was so fierce that it almost made me halo.

The sun makes people dizzy.

Li Yuzhu quickly grabbed Wang Chengzhou and said nothing to let him continue.

The sweat on Wang Aiduo and Wang Nanzhou's bodies seemed to have been washed away by water, and they hurriedly hid in the shadow of the wheat straw pile.

Wang Honghe packed up his tools and then sat down to rest.

After a morning of hard work, everyone was covered in mist and their eyelashes were wet with sweat.

It looks a bit more delicate.

Siya stupidly grabbed her eyelids and made a face, making the whole family laugh.

After resting for a while, Li Yuzhu took out the steamed buns, and everyone started eating with their kettles on.

It was too hot at noon, so it was inconvenient to go back and forth for cooking.

At noon, Wang Honghe and Wang Chengzhou had to dig clay in the Hetao, and they had no time to go back.

Everything is planned.

However, while they were eating, groups of young people began to run towards Baihe.

No need to think about it, it must be too hot to stay at home, so prepare to soak in the water and spend the hot afternoon.

Some elderly people felt pitiful when they saw a family still working in the fields at noon, so they came over to chat and say hello.

Of course, more people stood and watched the excitement from a distance.

It is not uncommon in the countryside for people who don’t have money to buy bricks to build their own houses by firing bricks, but it’s also rare.

Only extremely poor people would do such a thing.

"Wang Chengzhou, a famous hygienist like you also does this kind of work, but the price is a bit low!"

In the distance, someone shouted, and the voice was very familiar, "If it were me, I wouldn't care if his little grandson does whoever he likes. Find a shady place by yourself and read a few books. How comfortable!"

There was a burst of laughter on the roadside.

It was Wang Zhiguo.

This kid, with his strange foreign accent, was obviously mocking Wang Chengzhou.

"Wang Zhiguo, you are so sensible, does your father know?"

Wang Chengzhou raised the corner of his mouth and retorted, "How about you come and work for me and I can find a shady place to lie down for a while?"

Everyone laughed again.

Everyone knows that bickering is common when two people don't get along.

However, it is obvious that Wang Zhiguo's rank is too low and he always suffers.

He ridiculed Wang Chengzhou's poor family. In order to build a house, a hygienist had to work in the bright sun.

Wang Chengzhou ridiculed him for being unfilial, and his words left him speechless and unable to continue.

Among all evils, filial piety takes precedence.

Rural people especially value this.If a person does not know how to honor his parents, he will immediately be looked down upon by others.

Wang Zhiguo suffered a loss. When he heard everyone laughing at him, his face immediately became ugly and he broke out and said:
"I would like to work for my father, but our family has already built five large tile-roofed houses, which are protected from wind and rain, so there is no need!"

"Moreover, when we build a house, we buy large green bricks directly, and it's done in one step."

"What kind of turtle grandson is the one who worked so hard to make the dough?"

Everyone fell silent.

Wang Zhiguo, that bastard, talks lightly, which is a bit hurtful.

It was as if he was pointing his nose at Wang Chengzhou and scolding his family.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu looked ugly, but it was difficult to speak.

Firstly, it was a quarrel between the younger generations, and secondly, I was the village chief.

If the noise gets louder, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on Wang Chengzhou.

Si Ya didn't care about that much, she bared her little tiger teeth and was about to yell at him and call him a bastard.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a rather beautiful figure walked over carrying a bamboo basket.

Seeing Wang Zhiguo from a distance, he didn't say anything. He went straight to the threshing floor, put down the bamboo basket, filled up a bucketful of clay in front of everyone, flattened it carefully, lifted it up with difficulty, and found He found a flat piece of land and buckled down hard.

He stepped on it a few times with his foot to knock off the adobe, then lifted the adobe, stood beside him, stared at the stunned Wang Zhiguo and said:
"Brother, what did you scold just now?"

"Which turtle grandson builds a house from scratch?"

"Now that I'm done, sister, does that mean you were scolding me just now?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Wang Zhiguo stared at the young woman in front of him with a hint of unruliness in her face and eyes, and stammered: "Sister...sister, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing, are you blind?"

Wang Caiyun pursed her lips and stood with her hands on her hips, "You fucking dare to scold me, do you believe I will kill you when I get back?"

"How come you are a grandson when you build a house out of rough materials? Are you inferior to others when you build a house out of rough materials?"

"Wang Chengzhou saved your sister's life, you ungrateful thing! Did I really leave home too early and got you used to it?"

Wang Zhiguo was so scolded that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Everyone grinned and laughed, looking up and down at Little Pepper, who looked even more radiant than when she was a little girl, and marveled.

She is indeed the most aggressive woman among the younger generation in the village. She is ready to kill her own brother at every turn. This is really impressive!
"Get out of here now!"

Xiaojiao stopped talking to him, put down the criticism, picked up the bamboo basket, and came to Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe, "Auntie, these are some meat buns I steamed last night. I heard that you are here in the summer It must be very hard to make the dough inside, so I brought it over so you can have a try."

"You lazy thing, Xiao Siya, you guys should come over and eat too."

"Oh, isn't this a lump of elm wood? Wang Nanzhou, old classmate, you also have a share."

The whole family was immediately at a loss.

In fact, Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu were fine.

Wang Caiyun and Wang Nanzhou were children of average age when they were young. One was the most aggressive and the other was the most honest in the village. They studied in the same class. How could they be together?
Wang Nanzhou was quite a big boy, but she would make her cry every time she bullied her. She would go home and complain to her parents.

But his son was beaten by a little girl on his neck. It was not embarrassing enough to tell him. How could anyone help him vent his anger?
As a result, Little Pepper became more and more arrogant, and Wang Nanzhou became more and more miserable.

At the end of the quarrel, the two children still had feelings for each other.

Wang Caiyun was not afraid of people at all. After beating Wang Nanzhou, she shamelessly followed him around the house, begging for food and drinks.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu were both angry and funny, and there was really nothing they could do against her.

Therefore, when I saw her coming with half a basket of meat buns, I couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Sister Caiyun."

When he met her, Si Ya couldn't really be impudent and shouted obediently.

"Well, you little snot-nosed girl has grown up too, time flies so fast."

Little Pepper said sadly and immediately laughed, "I just heated it up, eat it quickly."

"Pepper, are you really healed?"

Wang Chengzhou stared at her pretending to be serious, pressed her forehead, and said doubtfully:
"Hey, you don't have a fever either?"

"I see that your eyes are clear in black and white and not bloodshot at all. You should have a good sleep at night."

"But if you weren't crazy, how could you be so nice to people all of a sudden?"

"Get your hands off!"

Little Pepper glared at him angrily, "No big or small!"

"If you touch me again, I'll kick you to death!"

"It's not just to thank you, you bitch. If you hadn't had that serious illness, if you hadn't ignored the past grudges and met you again, I wouldn't have hit you on the head. It would have been fine!"

The whole family laughed.

Only Wang Nanzhou still sat cautiously, not daring to look up at her.

"Hey, Yumugoda, I really can't do anything to you!"

Wang Caiyun complained, took out a meat bun and stuffed it directly into his hand, "You are over 20 years old, why haven't you made any progress?"

Wang Nanzhou couldn't help but blush, turned his back, and started eating.

Xiaojiao shook her head helplessly, looked at Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe, and grinned.

Don't tell me, this big meat bun is stuffed with pork mixed with vermicelli. When you take a bite, it's shiny and your mouth is full of oil.

Although both of them are not rare things, the team raises pigs, and the vermicelli is made from sweet potato starch, but the two are added together and steamed into big meat buns, which ordinary people cannot eat.

In order to express his gratitude, Xiaojiao spent a lot of money.

Not to mention Wang Chengzhou's family, those who gathered on the roadside to watch the excitement were all salivating when they smelled the fragrance.

Wang Zhiguo was hiding in the distance, staring here bitterly.

Such a fun thing happened. Everyone didn't even feel hot anymore. They didn't even go to take a shower. They squatted under the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness.

"Caiyun, you eat too."

Li Yuzhu felt embarrassed after all, mainly because this thing was too rare. Wang Chengzhou had treated her for a disease. It was too expensive to use as a thank you gift, so she gave in as a guest.

"Aunt, I came here after eating at home."

Little Pepper smiled and refused, but instead became interested in the bucket. She started working with a shovel under the bright sun.

However, she is a woman after all, and her strength is not much greater than Si Ya. The bucket is full of clay, making it difficult to move it.

She is often bent over, like an old lady, with her hands pressed heavily to the ground.

The dust was flying, but she wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled stupidly, as if she was very happy.

"Caiyun, stop doing it, that's a man's job, and the sun is too harsh, don't do it anymore."

"Watch your feet!"

Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe took a look and quickly advised.

"Auntie, it's okay, I'm just having fun."

Wang Caiyun filled another bucket and bent down to move it with a smile.

When Wang Chengzhou saw it, his expression immediately changed, and he rushed forward to snatch it from her.

She was so angry that her eyebrows stood up and she cursed angrily: "Hey, you little bastard, are you sick?"
