Chapter 390 Mysterious Mother-in-Law
Jin Xi smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Yuxia, has this matter been settled? Qinya doesn't need to go to Qipanling anymore, right?" Sun was still asking, and it was difficult for her to accept the process for a while. She was most concerned about the result.

"Well, girl Qin doesn't have to suffer that much." Sun Yuxia finally said with great affirmation.

Sun's heart was at a loss. Thinking of the sufferings of the two children, Sun Erhu and Qin Ya, in the past two days, her eyes were red but her face was filled with joy. She ran back to the window in a few steps, and bowed to the south with folded hands. After several times, he murmured: "Thank you Bodhisattva for blessing..."

Sun Yuxia and Jinxi both turned their heads to see Sun's beaming expression, and they both laughed.

Jin Xi couldn't help joking: "Mother, if you want to worship the Bodhisattva, you can do it in any direction, but you can't worship in the south."

"Why?" Mrs. Sun was surprised. It was the first time for Sun Yuxia to hear this. Is there anything special about worshiping Bodhisattvas?
"Namo Amitabha Buddha... Isn't that what people say?"

"What?" Mrs. Sun was stunned, and she and Sun Yuxia looked at each other, seeing Jinxi lowering her head and pursing her lips into a smile, Sun Yuxia slapped her thigh, and suddenly burst out laughing, saying: "I understand, I understand..."

"Understood what? I brought good news, do you want to hear it?" Sun Yubao stepped in from outside the house with a loud smile, his face beaming, as if he had just returned from a victorious battle on the battlefield.

"Listen, listen, come and tell me!" Sun Yuxia took a few steps and pulled him past.

Sun Yubao came to the bed and took a look at Jinxi's condition, nodded in reassurance, and then started talking.

"The people in Qipanling are short of people and money, so they can only hold on to the debts of the three piggies. This time, Mrs. Chunhua is determined not to clean up the mess for Sun Tiesheng. The people in Qipanling will not be able to Qian just wanted to take that pig girl from her family, and Chunhua's sister-in-law would not let her go, so they might as well tie Sun Tiesheng to do labor!"

"How can Sun Tiesheng do hard work? He was locked in the room that night, and he didn't know what stimulated him. The whole person has been foolish for the past two days, and no one has paid attention to him. He has been locked up all the time. !"

Jin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, stimulated?Crazy and silly?She told Ah Cai to go... Could it be that Ah Cai also gave Sun Tiesheng some other gifts...

OK, I'll wait for Ah Cai to come back and ask about this matter again.Hey, speaking of it, Ah Cai has been away from Sunjiagou for nearly two days, and he should come back after going there. What's going on?

Jin Xi faintly felt worried.

"Whether it's the greedy Gui family or the Chunhua family, they are all real victims. The source of the biggest disaster this time is none other than Sun Tiesheng, and he should be punished!" Sun Yuxia clapped her hands and said .

Sun smiled wryly and shook her head.

"The people in Qipanling have to leave at dawn tomorrow, and they have no face to waste any more time with this! The old man of the Dong family just talked to the uncle and the others, and they came here anyway, so they just strike while the iron is hot, and put Erhu and Qinya's marriage together." It’s okay to book it formally, earlier.”

This is really exciting news.The presence of members of the Dong family made it even more legitimate.

"Let's ask Uncle Li Zheng and the others to be the matchmakers. We will have two tables of meals in two days. If the two parties eat together, this marriage will be officially recognized!" Sun Yubao said.

"Strike while the iron is hot, very good." Jin Xi said with a smile.

The next day, Boss Gui and the others left in despair, trying to take away Chunhua's natal family to pay off the debt, but were stopped by Sun Dahu and Sun Erhu.

A yard for a yard, three piggies come, three piggies go.The pig girl was brought up by Chunhua from dawn to dusk, and she is about to give birth to piggies in the beginning of spring. When the time comes, she will send the three piggies back to Qipanling to pay off her debts!
After several days of quarreling, people from Qipanling left, and people from Dong's family returned sesame oil after the engagement banquet. The turmoil was over, and Jin Xi's illness was completely cured.

A Cai still hasn't come back, Jin Xi and Sun are very anxious, Liang Yuzhong takes Cai Qingyang out of the mountain to find news about A Cai.

In a flash, it was the seventh day of the first lunar month, and it was spring, and the continuous rain for several days stopped.

Sister Sun Yuxia of the Sun family is cleaning up the house and cleaning up the outside and inside of the yard. They only wait for the eight big guys to leave the mountain together at the beginning of tomorrow to prepare for the opening of the store and start a new year of busy business.

Qin Ya was talking in the room with the newly recovered Jin Xi, when suddenly, lively voices came from outside, especially Sun's voice full of gratitude.

"Auntie, you cured my daughter. We really can't repay this kindness. Why did you return the things? Why do we feel sorry for this?"

"Niece, don't be polite to my wife. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you can help me, I will keep all the rice noodles and eggs you gave me. I will never accept this money..." A strange old voice came into the room .

"Auntie, why do we feel sorry for this? This, this, this..." Mrs. Sun has never been polite, but every sentence is sincere and from the heart.

Granny Sun immediately took over the conversation and invited the visitor to drink tea and talk in the room.

"Sister, sister, mother-in-law Xiang is here, she was talking to Po Ga and Niang in the yard." Jin Rou shouted and ran into the room, interrupting Jin Xi and Qin Ya's whispered laughter.

To mother-in-law?Jin Xi's eyes light up, is that the old woman who cured her cold?
Thinking of Xiang's mother-in-law's medicine, Jin Xi thought of the small black and white compressed pills, full of modern western medicine...

Jin Xi's heart couldn't help but jump up, excited, this is another person who is suspected of time travel besides Wen Qing.It is indescribable to feel the excitement and complexity of encountering fellow villagers in a strange foreign country!

"Grandma Xiang seldom steps out of her bark hut, which is really strange!" Qin Ya also looked surprised.

"What's a bark hut?" Jin Xi asked puzzled. In the fairy tale, there was a little mother who loved children very much, and she lived in a hut made of bark.

"Grandma Xiang lives alone outside the village. In addition to felt grass, there is a pile of bark on her small house. The ground in the yard is drying medicinal materials that look like bark all year round. That's why everyone said that It's a bark hut." Qin Ya said.

Growing up in the village for so many years, Grandma Xiang and her bark hut have always been a place full of mystery and fear for the children in the village.

"Most of the children in the village dare not approach Granny Xiang's bark hut. They say that Grandma Xiang always talks crazy, and they speak a lot of strange languages, saying that she is a spirit in the mountains. My three cousins If you are naughty at night and don't sleep, my aunt likes to scare her mother-in-law with it, she will try everything!" Yaqin said.

Jin Xi was slightly taken aback, "Crazy talk? What kind of crazy talk?"

Qin Ya shook her head, "I can't learn it. In short, it's the ones we don't understand."

Then he laughed and said, "That's nonsense, I don't believe it."

"I believed it for a while when I was a child, but then I stopped believing it. If it's really weird, how can Granny Xiang stay in the village for so many years? Besides, she's actually a pretty good person, but she doesn't like to move around very much and likes to be in the yard. Tinker with those bark herbs and all."

Jin Xi pondered for a while, then said softly, and was about to go out of the house to thank her mother-in-law face to face, thanking her for her kindness of saving her life, when she just stepped to the door, the sound of chaotic footsteps came towards Jin Xi's room , The speaking room has reached the door.

Jin Xi opened the door and met the women standing at the door.

Grandma Sun, Sun's family, Sun Yuxia, and Chunhua were all there, surrounded by them in front, facing Jin Xi's eyes, was a short, fat old woman wearing blue and old cloth cotton coat and cotton trousers.

Dressed similarly to the women in this mountain, they are used to wrapping their hair with a triangular scarf, and two strands of gray hair on the temples fall by the ears.Years have carved ravines and imprints of annual rings on her face, her eyes have been sunken, but her eyes are dark and boundless, like an old well that has experienced years of precipitation.

"Xi'er, this is Grandma Xiang who cured you, why don't you hurry up and thank Grandma Xiang?" Sun's voice came from behind Grandma Xiang.

Jin Xi came back to her senses, quickly lowered her eyes and lowered her eyebrows, and was about to kneel down to her mother-in-law on the cold ground, but was grabbed by a pair of dead branches, with green-brown age spots on the back of her hands, Moreover, the strength is not small.

"Good boy, if you want it, you can do it." Said to the mother-in-law, one of the front teeth fell out, and the words were a little leaky.

"You are in good health, go back to the house, and I will show you again." Said to the mother-in-law again.

Jin Xi turned around and supported Granny Xiang, and helped her walk into the house. Granny Xiang walked very steadily, and didn't need anyone's support at all.

The tea and snacks were all placed on the table, but the mother-in-law's eyes fell on Jinxi, like all the doctors in traditional Chinese medicine, gave Jinxi a detailed follow-up consultation, and asked about Jinxi's situation in the past two days. A clear answer.

When Xiang's mother-in-law was returning to Jinxi for a follow-up consultation, the old lady Sun and Mrs. Sun in the room basically held their breath, lest they would disturb Xiang's mother-in-law's follow-up consultation due to panting.

When she finished asking her mother-in-law about her thoughts, Mrs. Sun still couldn't help asking respectfully and carefully from the side: "Auntie, look at my girl, her complexion is still pale these two days, do you want to prescribe some medicine to chase her?" Are you chasing after your sickness?"

Turning to her mother-in-law to look at Mrs. Sun, she said, "No need."

"But, aunt, look at this child, although he hasn't had a fever in the past two days, he is still feeling depressed and his appetite is not very good. Your medicine is good, so why don't you prescribe some more?" Sun said Almost begging.

Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, how can a cold be cured so quickly?The recovery of various functions of the body also needs a certain period, and there is no rush.

Granny Xiang looked at Sun's face, and suddenly became serious, "Niece, I can understand your mother's heart, but when I shouldn't prescribe this medicine, I definitely won't prescribe it to you."

Mrs. Sun was astonished, Mrs. Sun was also astonished, and Sun Yuxia was astonished, muttering to herself, what's the matter with prescribing more medicine? Didn't you ask you to prescribe it for nothing?Don't the rich people's nourishing and health-preserving traditional Chinese medicines be drunk as tea all day long?
Granny Xiang took a panoramic view of Sun's and the others' reactions, took a breath, looked at them with deep eyes like ancient wells, and explained patiently: "This person's body has its own immunity, and the medicine is used to assist and Stimulate your own immunity to resist the virus. Excessive and improper drug use will not only fail to play an effective role, but will also damage your own body. Do you understand?"

The Suns looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously confused.

Jin Xi, who was originally sitting on the head of the bed, became tense after hearing Xiang's mother-in-law's words, with one hand tightly pressed to her chest, fearing that if one of them couldn't hold back, her heart would be pounding. Jump out of your chest!
Grandma Xiang was sitting in front of Jinxi's bed, with Sun and the others standing behind her, when she turned her head to explain these things to Sun and the others, she couldn't pay attention to Jinxi's expression and reaction.

Sun's bewildered looks fell into the eyes of Grandma Xiang, and at a glance she understood that they didn't understand, sighed to Grandma Xiang, paused, and explained in a different way: "The illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes away." It's like spinning. This girl's illness has been cured to seventy-eight eighty-eight, the so-called illness, three parts of the medicine and seven parts of the medicine, if you don't care about it, it will cause chaos, and if you take care of it for five or six days, it will be the same as before."

In this way, Mrs. Sun and the others could accept it, so they rushed to thank their mother-in-law one by one.

Xiang mother-in-law didn't stay too long, and after a few more words of advice, she got up and left.Mrs. Sun and the others wanted to stay with Xiang Po Po for dinner, but they didn't, because Xiang Po Po Po was thinking about going home to dump the bark of herbs and trees.

Jin Xi's gaze has been chasing her, seeing that she is determined to leave, although she knows that this is a bit abrupt, but Jin Xi will be leaving the mountain tomorrow, so she still has to ask some questions.

So, she opened her mouth and stopped talking to her mother-in-law.

"What's the matter?" Turning to her mother-in-law, she looked at the girl on the bed who had been taciturn in surprise.

"Well... Grandma Xiang, I have something else to do, can I take up your time for a while?" Xu was so excited that Jin Xi found that her voice was trembling slightly.

She was taken aback by her mother-in-law, but then she nodded her head in a friendly manner, which was regarded as her consent.

Mrs. Sun and the others wanted to stay as well, but Jinxi cast a pleading look over her, and Mrs. Sun immediately understood. Everyone left the room one after another and closed the door, leaving only Jinxi and Granny Xiang in the room.

"Girl, what's the problem?" Grandma Xiang sat back on the stool in front of the bed again, and calmly looked at the girl who had put her feet on the ground.

If you read it correctly, there was a strange flush of excitement on the face of the girl in front of you.With delicate facial features, a pair of bright and burning eyes, and slightly parted lips, it seems that there are thousands of words in his throat, and he doesn't know which sentence to start.

Granny Xiang smiled suddenly, and said, "Don't worry, just ask if you have any questions."

This mother-in-law is actually very good-tempered and considerate, Jin Xi thought to herself.Xu Shi has locked himself in the yard all year round to study medicinal materials, and his personality is a little withdrawn, so he gradually alienates himself from the villagers...

Jin Xi took a deep breath, and finally asked the first sentence tremblingly: "Grandma, are you also...from there?"

Grandma Xiang was stunned for a moment, her face was a little dazed: "Which side is that over there?"

"Over there...that's over there!" Jin Xi didn't know what to say, and made a gesture with her fingers: "21st century?"

"What is a century?" Grandma Xiang didn't understand, she shook her head, looking at Jin Xi with a trace of puzzlement in her ancient well-like eyes.

Jin Xi's excited Liao Yuan's heart suddenly seemed to be poured with cold water, but she was still unwilling to reconcile and continued to inquire.

"Mother-in-law Xiang, the illness and medicine you explained to Granny Ga and the others earlier, did you think of those words yourself, or were they taught to you by others?"

"What?"

"That's, uh, body, immunity... where do these new words come from?" Jin Xi mustered up her courage and asked boldly.

Granny Xiang stared straight at Jin Xi, and suddenly, when Jin Xi asked this sentence, she froze suddenly, and then stared straight at the girl in front of her, a ripple flashed in her ancient well-like calm eyes .

She suddenly grinned dryly twice, showing her mouth with bared teeth, and said: "Girl, those are all my crazy words, everyone is used to hearing them, why do you take it seriously!"

How could it be crazy talk to lie to her child?

I originally thought I was a solitary dandelion seed, but it was at this strange time.Although there are always family members who take good care of me, friends who treat each other sincerely, and a big family bustling around.However, that hollowness in the heart, the feeling of burying secrets alone, is really tiring and lonely.

Sometimes, I really want to find someone to confide in.However, with such a bizarre experience, I am afraid that people around me will be scared to death let alone listening.

Under such circumstances, in this strange time and space, if there is an earlier dandelion seed that also blows up and lives for a lifetime.Then, this feeling of meeting fellow villagers in different time and space, and meeting old acquaintances in other places, really drives Jinxi so excited that she is going crazy, and she is so anxious that she is so anxious to play riddles with her mother-in-law.

"No, it's not like this. It's not crazy talk. Mother-in-law, please tell me, how did you come from these words? Did you, did you come from there like me?" Jin Jin In a hurry, Xi reached out and grabbed Grandma Xiang's hand, and asked urgently.

Grandma Xiang suddenly stood up from the stool, got up and hurried to the door, leaving Jin Xi stunned with a look of astonishment.

What's the matter, is she or isn't she?this reaction...

Jin Xi wanted to raise her foot to chase after her, but Sun's voice came from outside: "Auntie, sit down a little longer, why did you leave so quickly..."

There was no voice to the mother-in-law, only hurried and messy footsteps were heard, and they quickly disappeared into the yard.

Mrs. Sun pushed open the door to come in, and went straight to Jin Xi who was standing blankly by the bed.

Followed by Sun Yuxia who was muttering, "That woman still has the same weird temper. She is happy, angry, and surprised. She is not the only one who can serve medicinal materials. With such a temper, it's no wonder that people in the village are alienated from her..."

"Shut your mouth and show your age to your mother-in-law, where is it your turn to talk about it?" Mrs. Sun also followed in, she was reprimanding Sun Yuxia: "Besides, people's tempers don't change twice a day. After decades, who in the village doesn't know? This person has a temperament, and she is good at treating children's illnesses, so there is nothing to choose. Many children in the village have been treated by her... ..."

This is the truth, Xi'er is one of the beneficiaries, Sun Yuxia didn't say a word, and followed to look at Jinxi.

Mrs. Sun had already supported Jin Xi to sit back on the bed, still asking worriedly: "... What did you ask my mother-in-law? Why is she so ugly when she leaves the house?"

Jin Xi tried her best to suppress the doubts and incomprehensions in her heart, regained her usual expression, and said: "What can I ask, of course it is about my illness, maybe I didn't say anything well, and violated the taboo of my mother-in-law Well, I can't speak..."

"Grandma Xiang said that she has an unpredictable temper, but she is also very warm-hearted. When I asked her to see a doctor, she didn't say anything and didn't accept our money. She is a good mother-in-law." Sun sighed gratefully.

"She didn't accept our money, but only rice noodles and eggs. Later, we caught a reed chicken and tied its claws and sent it." Mrs. Sun waved her hand and said boldly.

The Sun family naturally had no objection. Even though Sun Yuxia felt a little bit reluctant, she did not dare to refute Mrs. Sun's arrangement.

Jin Xi lied to cover up the matter of mother-in-law Xiang, and everyone's thoughts were put on the matter of leaving the mountain tomorrow, and they put the matter aside after asking.However, Jin Xi couldn't let go, and decided to find another opportunity to go to her mother-in-law's bark hut this afternoon.

In the afternoon, the weather was fine, there was no wind or waves, and a round of red sun was hanging in the western sky. Mrs. Sun and Jinrou took the third and fourth child to visit the village. Mrs. Sun and Sun Yuxia were busy Packing clothes and supplies.Liang Yuzhong and Cai Qingyang haven't returned yet, as for Sun Yubao and Sun Dahu, they teamed up with Sun Dagen to repair the wooden house behind the village in a day's time.After the beginning of spring, there will be another wave of tea-picking peaks. Father Sun and Sun Dagen often stay overnight in the wooden house.

Jin Xi naturally volunteered and took the job of delivering chickens to her mother-in-law.

"I was rude to my mother-in-law earlier, and I will apologize to her by the way..." Jin Xi held the heavy reed chicken with its feet bound and still clucking, and pursed her lips at Sun who was delivering it to the gate of the yard. ,road.

Mrs. Sun nodded reassuringly, put Jinxi's silver-red and white furry cloak hat on her head, and fastened the straps on both sides tightly, and said: "It's delivered, if you pay for it, come home quickly, you I just recovered from a serious illness, so I can't be startled by the wind... Fortunately, this cloak is thick and warm, Brother Wen has a heart..."

At this point, Sun suddenly stopped, a trace of panic flashed across his face, he simply withdrew his hand and said, "Hurry up, go back early."

Jin Xi smiled and hummed, turned and left with the clucking chicken in her hand.

The cloak was really warm. The outside was bright red and shiny windproof material with white down cuffs, and the inside was black velvet.Such a cloak wrapped around the body is really comfortable from head to toe.

I am comfortable now, and I am not afraid of the cold anymore, but how is the man who sent the cloak now?
