Farmer's happy event

Chapter 3 Herbal Medicine
The sun had just dyed the eastern half of the sky red, and there was already a curl of cooking smoke in Liu's small courtyard, and with it, there was also the smell of sesame oil egg custard.

The only old ox in the family was mooing in the yard, eager for the fodder in Guzi's hands.Guzi's facial features are exquisite, and her skin is slightly dark. At this time, under the morning sun, it is actually covered with a layer of light.As the eldest daughter of the Yang family, she is diligent and well-behaved, and she gets up early to feed the old scalper at home every day.

In the yard, apart from the old cow's howling, Shen's dissatisfied reprimands were scattered all over the yard: "How can she use so much oil for her little one? One drop is less? You are good, put half a bowl. You treat it like our family An oil shop? Even those who opened an oil shop can’t stop you from being so defeated.” She counted Mrs. Yang, and the more she smelled the smell of sesame oil egg custard, the more painful she felt.

Mrs. Yang didn't make a sound, just filled the stove with firewood one by one.The mother-in-law is not usually stingy, she has long been used to it, and she can't stop feeding the child better just because she will be tricked by her.

"Yo, it's so fragrant, steamed egg custard." Shi Li walked into the kitchen with his feet up, with traces of sleep from last night still in the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were bright, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Yang Shi was still annoyed by what happened yesterday, so she didn't respond.

Mrs. Chen glanced at her and said, "Hurry up and pack up and come cook! The sun is already rising!" After speaking, she turned and walked out of the kitchen, still complaining in her mouth.

Li twitched her lips, went out to wash her hands, picked a pickle from the dark jar and cut it on the chopping board.

After the egg custard was steamed, Yang lifted the lid of the pot, and accompanied by white mist, a strong fragrance wafted out.Yang dipped his fingers in the cold water, and reached out to take out the black porcelain bowl from the pot.

"Steamed egg custard, give it to me." A girl's voice came from behind. Although the voice was sweet, it made people feel very angry.

Yang didn't need to look back to know that she was Li's daughter Maizi.Maizi imitated Li's disregard for other people's temperament by ten percent, and she believed that she was pretty and would be able to make a good marriage in the future, so she was always defiant, especially Lianzi sisters.

"Egg custard is for my sister." Yang said coldly.

Mrs. Li came over and said with a smile: "Anyway, you can't eat lotus seeds by yourself. If your children can't eat, give my wheat. No matter what, you will take advantage."

"Who said I can't eat it? If I can't eat it, I have to save it for tomorrow!" Lianzi heard this just after getting up. She had no affection for Li Shi, who was going to sell her as a child bride-in-law from the beginning. How can I hold back these words.

She wasn't someone who would compromise, now that she was worn through time travel, what else would she have to be afraid of?
Hearing her words, Li Shi instantly lowered her face.

"Naturally, the things in the house should go to the most promising person. You stand aside." Maizi raised her eyebrows and walked towards the Dantang next to Mrs. Yang.

Seeing her like this, Lianzi grabbed the bowl first, not too hot, hugged her tightly in her arms, snorted at Maizi, and walked back to her room.

Maizi furrowed his brows deeply, and shouted in the direction of Lianzi: "When you get rich in the future, I won't let you look good!"

"In the future, you will always beg for our days!" Mrs. Li jumped on her toes, pointing at Lianzi's back and said fiercely.

Seeing her high self-esteem, Yang's anger has long since stopped: "We can't afford your glory!" After speaking, he took the muddy basin and entered the main room.

Lianzi shared the custard with her sisters. At first they didn't eat it, but they couldn't bear the softness and hardness of the lotus seeds. Besides, they were only one year older than the other, and they were still children. Yue had never touched meat, so he ate it with a smile.

After this incident, the mother and daughter of the Yang family and the mother and daughter of the Li family naturally did not talk to each other, but after being reprimanded by the Shen family a few times, they slowly recovered their harmony.

Five days later, it was time for Lianzi's injury to be replaced. Liu Jingren and Yang Shi once again took the ox cart and took Lianzi to the town.

When the ox cart walked to the back of the village, he saw several carriages parked in front of a big house from a distance, and many servant-like people were hurrying through it.

Lianzi was curious: why does this small village have such a magnificent house?Then I heard Yang say: "Why is the Su family coming back?"

"His family has long been a wealthy family, who knows?" Liu Jingren flicked the whip on the cow's buttocks, and replied casually.Then he yelled at the cow a few times, and said with a smile: "If you say that our Liujiazhuang has good Fengshui, there is not only a wealthy businessman Su's family, but also a Jinshi Master Liu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Yang spat with a smile: "Come on, Mr. Liu is the Wenqu star from the sky. What's the matter with your Fengshui? Besides, the Su family is a serious southerner, if not Fleeing from famine and fleeing here back then, it has nothing to do with you guys who don’t shit.” She changed the subject, “I heard that Mr. Liu is back, is it true or not?”

"Well, it's been less than half a month since I came back, and I heard that a school is going to be set up in our village, and houses have started to be built on the vacant lot beside his house." Liu Jingren said with a chuckle, his appearance was very simple and honest, but his tone was not lacking in pride.

Yang chanted a sentence of Amitabha: "He is really a kind person, and he doesn't dislike the children of poor families at all. If we have a son, we will send it to school." He sighed again: "Why don't we have a son?" What about that fate?"

Lianzi sitting in Yang's arms tugged at the hem of her clothes a little unhappy when she heard what she said.After these few days of getting along, Lianzi really fell in love with Yang Shi.Yang is very kind to children, but she is very pungent to the outside world, and will never allow others to bully her.

Sensing that her daughter was pulling her, Yang lowered her head and smiled at her, saying, "Our Lianzi is not happy." Then he hugged Lianzi tightly, "Hello, my daughter, my daughter is a little padded jacket for my parents."

The three talked and laughed all the way to the medical clinic in the town, and found Dr. Xu.

Dr. Xu skillfully removed the gauze layer by layer, revealing a half-finger-long gash. Although the bleeding had stopped, it had not completely healed.He checked Lianzi's pulse again, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, he said to Liu Jingren, "It's all right, just wait for the wound to heal, so there's no need to worry."

"Then do we need to refill the medicine? The medicine has already been taken." Yang was still a little worried.

Dr. Xu waved his hand: "The wound has healed very well, there is no need to take any more medicine." He frowned and said, "It is indeed because of the lack of medicinal materials on the cabinet, but you can rest assured that the child's injury will be fine. have."

Liu Jingren nodded. Doctor Xu is a well-known doctor in this town. Not only is his medical skill good, but his medical ethics is also praised by the people in this town.He never hates the poor and loves the rich, cheats and cheats, so he has a very good reputation.Now that he said that the lotus seed will be fine, then it will be fine.

Lianzi's mind was not on this, but was attracted by Doctor Xu's last words.

It seems that the medicinal materials are indeed lacking. If so, if there are medicinal materials, they must be willing to buy them.

Thinking of this, Lianzi asked, "Doctor, what medicinal materials do you still lack here?"

Seeing that she was very cute, Dr. Xu thought she was just answering a sentence, so he patted her head and said with a smile: "This year's drought, the harvest of medicine farmers is not good, and there is a shortage of medicinal materials commonly used to treat bruises and wind-cold." Tight."

Lianzi blinked her eyes and thought for a while: "Then if I sell you medicinal materials, will you buy them or not?"

"This kid, you're talking nonsense, where did you get the medicinal materials?" Yang laughed and blamed.

Dr. Xu also laughed, thinking she was talking childishly.

"Buy, as long as you have it, I will buy it."

Lianzi couldn't help smiling: "Then it's settled, I'll come to you when I find the medicinal materials."

What she said made the people around laugh, and Mrs. Yang inevitably scolded her a few more words, thanked Dr. Xu, and then drove the ox cart home.

Liujiazhuang is not very far from Cangshan Town, so when I got home, it was just after noon.

Lianzi was so focused on the medicinal materials that she didn't care about eating more, she talked to Yang Shi, and ran out with a basket on her shoulders.When passing by the village, he called Huzi by the way.

From that day on, Huzi often came to look for Lianzi, and brought her delicious and interesting things to share with her. At this time, Lianzi asked him to go out, and he was very happy.

The two walked up the mountain together. Although the drought has been long, Lianzi is still optimistic.She thought that it was winter anyway, and all the trees were sparse, and the only thing that could be used was the roots of medicinal herbs, and many of these medicinal herbs were extremely drought-tolerant, so there must be some on the mountain.

Unexpectedly, after walking around the mountain for more than two hours, the only medicinal materials that could be dug up were kudzu root, isatis root and Xu Changqing.If these medicinal materials have been processed, the price of lotus seeds in the previous life is about 20 to 30 yuan per catty, even for high-quality Xu Changqing, the price is only about [-] yuan.If it is exchanged for silver, I am afraid it will take a lot of twists and turns to calculate it.

Lianzi straightened up, looked at the setting sun, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, thought that if she didn't go back, Mrs. Yang might be worried, so she turned to Huzi who was still digging herbs: "It's time to eat, let's go back."

Huzi agreed, picked up a basket full of herbs, and followed Lianzi down the mountain.

As they were walking, Lianzi suddenly felt as if someone was following them. She was puzzled and looked back, only to see a little boy carved in pink and jade, holding a straw stalk in his hand.
