Chapter 75

During the period, Zhang Mantun also visited the house a few times, but after all, there was Zhang Xiuniang who had just been slandered by rumors in the house, so even though he had no other thoughts, he just came to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Instead, Lin Baozhu made some rice porridge, cut up a small pot of grilled cakes that he had made earlier, mixed them, and sent them over.Then I stayed there with Zhang Xiuniang until evening, when Shi Dayong's fever subsided, and then brought white rice porridge over for them to eat.

It's not that Lin Baozhu is stingy, but that the Shi family's affairs happened suddenly, and when they came, it was already time for dinner.In addition, due to Shi Dayong's serious injury during the day, people feel uncomfortable, and no one can care about making fancy meals.

It wasn't until the second watch that Shi Dayong woke up in a daze, this time Zhang Xiuniang and Zhao Di were really relieved.

A fire was buried in the stove, and seeing Shi Dayong woke up, Lin Baozhu hurriedly called her man to fetch some hot water.Then he hurriedly brought in rice porridge, because the doctor had told him that when Shi Dayong just woke up, he could only eat some liquid food, so white rice porridge was just right.

After being fed half a bowl of rice by his own wife, Shi Dayong breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing the embarrassment of his always clean daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but his throat tightened, his eyes were sore and uncomfortable, and he could only call out his daughter-in-law before crying.

Zhang Xiuniang was already sore and bitter in her heart, seeing this situation, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.Now, the couple and their daughter, Zhaodi, and their family hugged their heads and cried happily.

Lin Baozhu knew that they had resentment in their hearts, so it was good to cry.Immediately, he turned a corner at his feet and left the house quietly.Perhaps she was affected by the sad atmosphere in the room, and she also felt very uncomfortable. When she got out of the room and looked up, she saw her rough and burly man standing in front of the window and looking straight at herself in the moon field. Woolen cloth.

She couldn't tell what mood she was in, and she couldn't even explain why her eyes suddenly changed for the better, and she could even see the worry and love on that man's face.

At this time, Zhang Mandun had never been so fortunate, fortunate that he was not oppressed by filial piety, and fortunate that his daughter-in-law was not tortured by others like Shi's sister-in-law.

"Go back to the house. I have to go to town tomorrow. I went to the house in Qianshan today. I said that we will have a banquet in a few days." Interrupting, I had to hold my wife's hand and talk about my house in detail.

Hearing her man talk about going to the beam, Lin Baozhu also cheered up and answered a few words.

"Well, it's so good that I have to hand over the tea leaves tomorrow. I have already saved enough 200 taels of silver in the money box. When you leave tomorrow, remember to take it and pay back some money first." Lin Baozhu said softly, but her eyes slowly Narrowing up, finally the whole person leaned on his man's arm and fell asleep drowsily.

There is only one oil lamp in the room, and the sparks from all of them are faint, covering a faint halo of light, making the not bright and spacious room extra warm and peaceful.

Zhang Mandun lowered his head slightly, looked at the daughter-in-law beside him, finally hugged him into his arms, and gently kissed his daughter-in-law on the forehead.It's great to have her here, even if I'm waiting outside, I feel very at ease in my heart.

There was nothing to say all night, but within two hours, the sky was bright.

Thinking about something in her heart, Lin Baozhu made an exception and got up early in the morning. Seeing that there was still no movement in the east room, she thought that she might not have had a good rest all night last night.

Thinking of this, she called her man to carry firewood, washed herself, and went straight to the kitchen to do her work.

I got angry all day yesterday, and I stayed up all night. I was afraid that the big guys would not have a good appetite, so I simply stopped eating greasy food.I only fried two vegetarian side dishes, mixed a bean curd stick cake, finally baked a few meat pies, and cooked corn porridge, and then stopped.

There are more people eating, so naturally they have to cook more than usual.Thinking about the saltiness her man ate, she took another pickled pickle from Aunt Ma and cut it into shreds, then poured some sesame oil on it and mixed it.

The food in this compartment was almost ready, so Zhang Xiuniang brought Zhaodi out embarrassingly, she looked very haggard, just looking at the black circle in front of her eyes, she knew that she might have been suffering all night.

"Sister-in-law, how is Big Brother Shi? Is he feeling better?" Lin Baozhu asked, wiping her hands quickly when she saw someone coming.

"It's much better. I drank a small bowl of water then, and now I'm lying down again." Seeing Lin Baozhu's concerned expression, Zhang Xiuniang felt sour and almost shed tears again.

She felt very sad in her heart, for many years, she followed Shi Dayong to serve the whole family, but ended up in such a miserable end.Aside from that, ordinary people would treat them kindly even to cattle and horses, let alone a family?

Seeing Zhang Xiuniang's complicated expression, Lin Baozhu didn't know how to persuade her.After all, the matter didn't happen to me, no matter how sympathetic I was, I couldn't empathize with him in the end.

"The hot water is warming in the small pot. Hurry up and wash your face with Zhaodi. Let's eat some later. When Big Brother Shi wakes up, we can steam an egg custard for Big Brother Shi, so that he can nourish himself." Lin Baozhu has already pulled Zhaodi to her side, "Zhaodi, good boy, as long as your parents are here, why can't you settle down? You can stay here at ease, and when I turn around, my aunt will take you to play on the top of the mountain."

She really loves Zhaodi, even if she meets such unreliable grandparents, even the unborn parents can't bear to protect her daughter.Probably this is the sorrow of this feudal world.

Although she didn't say anything, Lin Baozhu couldn't tell that Zhaodi looked shy but actually had the most delicate and sensitive mind, otherwise she wouldn't be cautious all the time, for fear that she might offend others if she didn't do well.He is only a half-grown child, but his life is more tiring than that of an adult.

Before Zhaodi saw her father was injured, her mother just cried, she didn't have a backbone, she just felt that the sky was falling.But after coming to Aunt Baozhu's house, she had a full meal and listened to Aunt Baozhu's soft voice comforting herself, she suddenly felt that life was not so desperate.

Just like what Aunt Baozhu said, both parents are here, as long as she is obedient and diligent, both parents will be happy.

The little man looked at Lin Baozhu with trusting eyes, and it took him a long time to solemnly nod his head in response.

The breakfast was very rich, and because Lin Baozhu felt sorry for Zhaodi, she specially cooked an extra egg for her. After crying for a while, the depression in her heart dissipated a lot, so the faces of Zhang Xiuniang and her daughter are much better now. .

After dinner, Lin Baozhu sent Zhang Mantun out first, then helped Zhang Xiuniang clean up the stove, and then asked Aunt Tian to come and make tea.

In the next few days, due to the careful care of his family and Lin Baozhu's nourishment from both flesh and bones, Shi Dayong's complexion became better and better.Thinking that their family is in trouble now, and Lin Baozhu and his wife can still treat each other sincerely, so Shi Dayong's family is very grateful.

And Zhang Xiuniang rushed to do the work, inside and outside the house, even saw Lin Baozhu washing clothes, rushed over to do it.And Zhaodi was like a little adult, helping to light the fire and wash the dishes, that is to say, Lin Baozhu felt sorry for her later and refused to let her do anything, even bought a bag of sugar and grew up with Tianbanxie from the village Several daughters of my family come to play with Zhaodi every day.

The women who came to work in the village were happy to give Lin Baozhu face, and their children could also get good food, so they brought Shi Zhaodi with them no matter what they did.

No, within a few days, Shi Zhaodi, who had been taciturn, also began to smile.Sometimes he would follow behind his own mother and Aunt Baozhu, talking about new things that he played with his friends during the day.

Zhang Xiuniang saw this change in her daughter's mind and kept it in her heart, so she became more and more grateful to Lin Baozhu and his wife.Later, Lin Baozhu discovered that Zhang Xiuniang also knew tea, and after careful questioning, she found out that her father had actually worked in the tea garden in Yanjing.

Now she found a treasure. After discussing with her husband, she asked Zhang Xiuniang if she would like to work in Zhangji Tea House.In charge of food and lodging, two taels of silver a month.Of course, if Shi Dayong is willing, he can also deliver the goods like Zhang Mandun, one tael a month.

They were already in trouble, penniless and had nowhere to go, and Zhang Mandun and Lin Baozhu took them in so that they would not die on the street.Seeing that Zhang Mantun and Lin Baozhu still have to arrange work for them now, there is no one who disagrees, and a thousand thanks are naturally indispensable.

There are more people in the tea house, and they are familiar with the quality of tea, so it is natural for everyone to work more easily.The quality of tea leaves and the workmanship of tea making have also improved a lot, and even broken green is rare.

Seeing that life is getting more and more prosperous, and although Anping Tea Shop is still ordering tea, it is obviously a bit difficult to buy all the tea from Zhangji Tea House every time.So Lin Baozhu began to think about finding other outlets. Neither she nor Zhang Mantun had been to the nearby towns, and most of the tea sent to the county town was the branch of Anping Tea Company.
With this idea in mind, she discussed with Zhang Mandun about buying an ox cart or a mule cart.After all, if you really want to run around to discuss business, it is unrealistic to walk every day.What's more, even if it is for delivery, it is convenient to buy a car.

It just so happened that the masonry class had decided to go to the beam on the second day of junior high school, so Zhang Mantun decided that when he went to the town to go to the market on the first day of junior high school, he would buy meat and vegetables for the banquet, and he went to find a cattle dealer to buy a mule by the way.

It’s not that they are reluctant to spend more money on ox carts, but mule carts are not only cheaper than plowing cattle, but horse mules not only have the load-bearing capacity and resistance of donkeys, but also have the flexibility and running ability of horses.

After all, they buy cars for business, not for farming or renting cars for a living.

The two of them made an agreement, and Lin Baozhu took over the tea money that her man had just settled and started keeping accounts.By the way, the two of them talked about something else.
