Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 52

After Dr. Lin came that day, Zhang Yun could only wait for the news. During this period, she took out the wrapped water hyacinth seeds and divided them into two halves. One half was used to germinate, and the other half was still wrapped and put Well, after experiencing the failure last time, she didn't dare to take out all of them for germination at once. To be on the safe side, she used half of them.

After soaking the seeds, she covered them to germinate them. This time she didn't go to check quickly, but covered them for an extra day, but the result was still the same, and they still couldn't germinate. At this moment, she had a faint feeling that the water hyacinth lotus might not be able to It succeeded, but she was still a dead horse as a living horse doctor, throwing the water hyacinth lotus that had not sprouted into the pond, and waited to see if it would germinate naturally.

After giving up hope for water hyacinth, Zhang Yun took time to go to the pond to have a look. She was no longer as diligent as last time. Without water hyacinth, she could only work hard to hunt pigweed. In this way, she continued to work every day Go to Qingling River to hunt hogweed.

It's not tiring to beat pigweed, but what annoys Zhang Yun is that by the Qingling River, she always runs into Chang Man, and she can hide if she can, but the bad thing is, the number of times she can hide is very small , almost always be seen by Chang Man, every time she sees it, fish and shrimp are given to her again, even if she likes fish and shrimp very much, she dare not accept all of them.

After being stuffed by Chang Man for a few times, Zhang Yun didn't dare to hunt pigweed anymore, but there was no one at home to do it, so he turned around and changed it to next night, which would be much better , I haven't encountered Changman for a while.

That afternoon, Zhang Yun had cut half a basket of pigweed, and was walking back with a basket on his back, when he saw Zhang Xing running in a hurry from a long distance away, and when he saw her, he shouted, "Sister, Doctor Lin, Doctor Xiaohong." I came home to look for you, come back with me quickly."

As soon as Zhang Yun heard it, he became happy. Dr. Lin finally got the news, and without delay, he took Zhang Xing and trotted back home.

As soon as he entered the yard, Zhang Yun took off the basket and handed it to Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing held the basket in his arms, pointed to the main room and said, "Sister, Doctor Lin and Doctor Xiaohong are sitting in the main room."

"Hey." Zhang Yun responded with a smile, and ran to the main room. When he stepped into the main room, he saw Dr. Lin and Hong Chengzheng talking with Zhang Liangen. I haven't made any preparations, so I don't know if I should let my family know about it.

Although she was not prepared in her heart, the meeting had already come in, and she couldn't go back, so she could only bite the bullet and greet Dr. Lin and Hong Cheng.

"Girl, I have news for you." Doctor Lin waved her over with a smile, and said in his mouth.

Zhang Yun hurriedly took a peek at Zhang Liangen, and seeing the doubts on his face, he knew that he didn't know about it yet, and suddenly became anxious, thinking about what to do if the family objected.

In such a hurry, I wanted to stop Dr. Lin from continuing, and immediately rushed to say: "Doctor Lin, there is nothing important, let's talk about it next time." Can't understand the hint in her words.

Hearing what Zhang Yun said, Dr. Lin looked at her face, saw her anxious expression, and felt it a little bit in his heart. However, he had his own way of thinking, thinking that this was a good thing, why should he hide it? So he only glanced at Zhang Yun, then continued to smile and said, "You mentioned last time that you wanted to raise fish and shrimps in the paddy fields, but because you couldn't find any paddy fields, you were very worried. No, I am willing to let you The one who tried it, well, it was him."

Zhang Yun saw that Dr. Lin didn't keep the matter a secret, but said it directly. He was anxious and apprehensive, and was thinking about how to explain it to his family. After Hong Cheng said the last sentence, he couldn't help looking at Hong Cheng, unable to react for a while.

Hong Cheng sat beside Dr. Lin and didn't speak a word. Now Zhang Yun was staring at him, and he didn't know how to speak. The whole back of the ear burned up all of a sudden. Eye to eye with her.

Zhang Yun was in a daze, not knowing what to say, when Zhang Youqing and Zhang Zhangcheng stepped into the hall behind them, just in time to listen to Dr. Lin's words, they both stopped at the same time, Zhang Zhang suddenly blurted out, "Why? Raising fish and shrimp in rice fields? "

When Zhang Zhang asked this question, Zhang Yun came back to his senses, and quickly turned his head to look behind him. Seeing Zhang Youqing walking up in a hurry, he asked anxiously, "Yun'er, what's going on? When did you say that to Dr. Lin?" , What does it mean to raise fish and shrimp in rice fields?"

After being asked such an urgent question, Zhang Yun glanced at the faces of several people in the family, all of them looked puzzled, and felt even more uneasy, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, he could only speak out his own thoughts and try to persuade the family members. Let them not object.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun took a deep breath and was about to come one by one. Hong Cheng, who was sitting, suddenly stood up and said, "Uncle, it's like this. Last time the master came to check the girl's pulse and heard her mention this matter." After I came back, I mentioned it to me. I was very interested, so I entrusted the master, asking him to find a girl to help me, teach me how to raise fish and shrimp in the rice field, and also make the family more money. It's because I'm too impatient, uncle can blame me, it's none of her business."

With Hong Cheng's explanation, Zhang's family finally knew what was going on. Zhang Youqing didn't blame his daughter, but he didn't know what happened and was anxious. After talking about it, his face eased. Standing there quite awkwardly, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Doctor Xiao Hong, don't say that, sit down quickly."

Seeing that his father didn't blame him face to face, Zhang Yun heaved a sigh of relief. Hong Cheng sneaked a glance at her, and then sat down as promised. Zhang Zhang brought a bench from the side, and Zhang Youqing sat down together.

Zhang Zhang quietly walked up to Zhang Yun, tugged at her sleeves, pointed to the bench behind her, and motioned for her to sit down too, Zhang Yun nodded lightly, and sat on the bench with Zhang Yun.

After everyone sat down, Dr. Lin said: "It's not easy for Hong Cheng, his parents died early, and there are only three grandparents left in the family. He has to take care of his grandfather and grandmother and help him with the field work. , I still have to study medicine by my side, if I can make some other income, life will not be so hard, now that he has this idea, you should help him, Brother Lian Gen, what do you think?"

Dr. Lin has been practicing medicine in the countryside since he was young. It can be said that he has saved lives and healed the wounded for decades. The villagers have always respected him very much. How could he refuse what he begged? Zhang Liangen looked at Dr. Lin and then at his own Granddaughter, I really don't know what to do.

"Yun'er, are you sure about this matter? If you say something casually, you can't take it seriously. If the time comes and Dr. Xiaohong loses his harvest in the field, it will be troublesome." After thinking for a long time, Zhang Liangen pointed Zhang Yun asked deeply, this matter is not a joke, it is related to the crops in the field and the rations of the farmers, so it must not be sloppy, he must ask clearly.

To be honest, Zhang Yun is really not sure. Although in his hometown in the countryside, there are quite a lot of people farming rice fields, but they have only seen and heard about it, and have not done it by themselves. How can we guarantee 100% success? In this way, she was stopped by Zhang Liangen's questioning.

Zhang Yun struggled in her heart, thinking whether to accept this matter. She originally wanted to test it in her own paddy field. Even if it failed, it was just her own business, and the few acres of land at home were basically enough for the family's rations. , There is no imminent loss if she fails, but now that other people's fields and livelihoods are involved, how dare she take risks at will.

Thinking of this, he hesitated in his heart, everyone in the main room looked at her, waiting for her reply, the room became quiet for a while, and a needle could be heard.

At this moment, Hong Cheng made a sound and stood up, "Uncle, this is the girl I am asking for help, how can I let her take this risk, you can rest assured, even if it fails in the end, the family will not be unable to eat because of it." Rice, you just let the girl try it, if it works, I will definitely come with a big pig's head to thank uncle and aunt."

Obviously these words are serious, but suddenly a big pig's head popped out, Zhang Yun couldn't hold it back for a moment, burst out laughing, and after laughing, he felt that he was too abrupt, quickly covered his mouth, and lowered his head I'm sorry to look up at them again.

Zhang Yun's smile broke the somewhat dignified atmosphere, Doctor Lin laughed and said, "Brother Lian Gen, stop being so straight-faced, babies have their own ideas, don't think they are messing around, you You have to think this way, if you don’t make trouble, how do you know if it will succeed, maybe you can open a good road, okay, let’s let them try, if you are not at ease, you can often go to see, anyway, Hong Cheng He lives in a neighboring village, and his paddy field is not far from your land."

Doctor Lin made the decision just like that. Although Zhang Liangen and Zhang Youqing were not at ease in their hearts, it was hard to refute Doctor Lin's words, so they could only hesitate for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, and the matter was settled like this.

The matter was settled, and Dr. Lin and Hong Cheng stayed for a while to discuss the specific matters, but there was nothing important to discuss. After all, it is far from the time for rice planting, and it has to wait until May. As for fish fry and shrimp seedlings, it is even further away, and the seedlings have to be transplanted before they can be put into the rice field, so we only discussed the matter of seed selection, seed soaking, and seedling raising during this period. Zhang Yun also only wanted to discuss these matters. I watched grandma and the others often do it, but I didn't personally participate in it, so I just sat on the sidelines and listened to grandpa, father and Hong Cheng talking about it, and couldn't get in the way.

After discussing these miscellaneous trivial matters, Dr. Lin took Hong Cheng up, ready to leave, and Zhang's family immediately stood up, followed them out of the main room, and sent them out of the courtyard.

Dr. Lin walked towards the courtyard gate while saying goodbye to Zhang Liangen and Zhang Youqing, but no one noticed, and Zhang Yun followed quietly.

Zhang Yun ran behind them lightly, and when no one was paying attention, he pulled Hong Cheng's sleeve from behind. He immediately turned his head and stopped when he saw Zhang Yun.

Seeing him stop, Zhang Yun hurriedly lowered his voice and quickly said, "Thank you." Then he turned around and ran into the kitchen.

Hong Cheng watched Zhang Yun run away until his back disappeared by the kitchen door, he didn't look back, just stood there in a daze, staring at the door.

Dr. Lin was sent to the gate of the courtyard, only to realize that Hong Cheng hadn't followed, he turned his head and called out, Hong Cheng recovered his senses, hurriedly followed, and the two left the courtyard together.
