Reborn farming life

Chapter 96

Cleaning up the three acres of land, digging pits, planting seeds, and watering all require a lot of manpower. My family is full of old and weak women and children. The only person who can be used as a labor force is Qi Che, but Li Yu does not want to delay Qi Che because of the field. Learning, so now it is necessary to ask someone to help.

Li Yu told everyone about this plan, and the whole family agreed, but it was almost time for spring plowing, and every household had their own land to work on, so it was hard to hire people now!
"Sister Yu! Why don't we first ask Aunt Liu to ask her in the village. It would be best if we can hire someone. If not, let's go to the town and try again!" Granny Liu thought about it and could only so.

"Why don't I ask my husband for a few days off, and I'll go to school after getting our land ready!" Qi Che felt that he should do his part for the family, but Li Yu didn't think so, "Brother, you Just concentrate on going to school, people can always be hired."

"But."

"Okay! Don't fail. Your most important task now is to learn knowledge well. I'm still waiting for you to be admitted to the number one! Then I will be the number one sister!" Seeing what Qi Che wanted to say, Li Yu took a step ahead of him. Then he said, "Even if you go to the field, it won't be of much help. Not to mention that you have never planted the land, but you have planted it. If you want to plant all the three acres of land, you will not be exhausted! As the saying goes, If you have a specialization, you will be responsible for studying hard to win honor for our family, and you don’t have to worry about family affairs!"

After hearing this, Qi Che felt that it made sense, so he didn't say any more!The Wei family looked at Li Yu with both emotion and relief. Although the Wei family really liked Li Yu and loved Li Yu, Qi Che was more important in his heart. For the sake of his future, Wei Shi liked Li Yu even more from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, that's it. Let's go eat first. After dinner, Ganniang and Lian'er will go to the store to watch. Brother, you go to school as usual. Grandma will still watch Tuantuan at home. As for me, eat After dinner, I went to Aunt Liu to discuss hiring people, well, now that the seedlings have been raised successfully, we need to cultivate more this time, otherwise two acres of land will not be enough for planting. There are also chili seeds that need to be dealt with.”

After Li Yu assigned the tasks, the family happily ate breakfast and then went to various places.While cleaning the table, Li Yu said to Granny Liu, "Grandma, I'll go find Aunt Liu after I finish cleaning."

Grandma Liu just wanted to speak, but who knew that when she opened her mouth, she coughed violently, "Ahem, cough, cough, cough!"

Li Yu quickly put down what he was doing to help Granny Liu pat his back, and said while patting, "Grandma, I'd better invite a doctor to take a look. I have been smoking for a few days, and I said please tell the doctor that you have nothing to do." The day is fine, but it has been several days and it is still the same! You must see a doctor today!"

Granny Liu stopped coughing at this time, and said calmly, "No need, why spend so much money for nothing? I just caught a cold, and I can sleep a little longer at most. You can boil some pear water for grandma and you will be fine." Now, those doctors can't see anything, they will give people a lot of medicine, I don't want to take it!"

Although Granny Liu said nothing, but Li Yu was still a little worried. Although Granny Liu's age was not too old in her previous life, she was already very old in this ancient time when the average life expectancy was not too long. In the days of New Years, I am afraid that the foundation of the body has been hollowed out long ago. This is what Li Yu has slowly recuperated in the past six months. In addition, he is in good spirits and has no knots, so he looks good.

But Li Yu knew that such Granny Liu couldn't bear the slightest pain, but Li Yu also knew that persuasion was useless. Granny Liu pouted and no one could persuade her. Li Yu thought about going to Aunt Liu to finish the hiring Just go to the town and ask a doctor to come and have a look.

Having made up his mind, Li Yu began to appease Granny Liu, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but from today onwards, you can't bear any tiredness, and if you feel unwell, tell me right away, and don't hide it from me." ! Or I'll be worried!"

"Well, I see, stop nagging, your nagging energy is almost catching up to me at such a young age!" Although Granny Liu said so, she was very considerate in her heart. Since her son was gone, Living with Sister Yu for more than half a year has allowed her, an orphan, to enjoy the care of her family, and injected hope into her otherwise lifeless life.

"Hehe, if you're afraid of me nagging, you should think more about your body!"

At this time, Tuantuan ran in from the outside, and Mo Yu followed closely behind him.Li Yu tidied up all the things at hand, and hugged the blushing little Tuan Tuan to sit on the kang, "Tuan Tuan, grandma is not feeling well today, and my sister will go out in a while. Be good at home, don't be naughty, don't Make grandma tired, do you hear me?"

Tuantuan nodded, then stood up on the kang, ran to Granny Liu and sat beside her, and asked worriedly, "Grandma is in pain? Hurrah Tuantu." After speaking, he began to exhale towards Granny Liu, as if This will relieve Granny Liu's pain.Li Yu and Granny Liu couldn't help smiling at this playful ear movement, and Granny Liu hugged Tuan Tuan into her arms, crying "heart and soul".

Li Yu looked at the grandparents and grandchildren there, shook his head helplessly, squatted on the ground, touched Moyu who was lying on the ground, and Xueyu who came into the room at some point, "Moyu, Xueyu, Thank you for your hard work, take a good look at the house!"

"Huh? Xueyu, have you gained weight? Have you eaten a lot lately?" Li Yu touched this and that with his hands, and finally confirmed that Xueyu was really fat
If Moyu could talk, I believe it would have yelled at Li Yu long ago, "Eat my wife's tofu!" It's a pity that it couldn't talk, and it wouldn't growl at Li Yu, so it could only rub against Xueyu and stick out. Tongue licking his poor wife.

Li Yu didn't notice this, and after she was sure that Xueyu had gained weight, she got up and went out to find Aunt Liu.When Li Yu arrived at Aunt Liu's house, Aunt Liu was picking up the soles of her shoes. Seeing Li Yu coming, she smiled and said, "Hey! What a rare visitor! Why didn't our busy people mess with your sweet potatoes?"

"Hey, auntie, just laugh at me! I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing! Why didn't you see Erya?"

"Hi! I don't know where she went crazy. This child has been very wild recently. If I don't pay attention, she won't know where she is playing! Come and drink!" Aunt Liu poured a glass of water for Li Yu while chattering.

"Don't be busy, auntie, I'm here to ask you something."

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

"It's like this. All my sweet potatoes sprouted seedlings this morning, and I can plant them in a few days, but my three acres of land haven't been cleared yet. I intend to get the whole family to do it together, but think about it. It’s not realistic, just us, the old and the weak, women and children, what kind of life will we have! I guess the spring planting will have been missed by the time we get the land done! So I thought about hiring a few people to clean up the land!”

Aunt Liu thought about it for a while, "You want me to help you find someone! It's not a big deal, but are you going to hire long-term workers or short-term workers? It's hard to find long-term workers, and everyone is busy at this time. Where is my own land!"

"I thought about it, so I asked someone to tidy up the land, and then planted the seedlings. After that, we can do the watering and fertilization ourselves. So let's hire two short-term workers, and then close the shop for a few days. Lian'er and I can also help out, and the three acres of land should be finished within six or seven days at most! What do you think, Auntie?"

"Well, it should be enough. Let's do this. I'll help you inquire later. I'll give you a confirmation letter in the afternoon at the earliest, and tomorrow at the latest. Do you think it's okay?"

"That's really great, then please trouble Auntie, if someone is willing to do it, you can tell him that lunch is included for thirty yuan a day!"

"Well, that's fine. That's it!"

"Then everything will be left to Auntie Lao, I have to go to the town to ask for a doctor, so I'll go first!"

"Doctor? Is someone in the family sick?" Aunt Liu immediately asked Li Yu concerned when she heard that she was going to ask for a doctor.

"It's nothing, but grandma has been coughing all the time these days. You know her body, so I don't worry about it. I just want to ask a doctor to take a look, so I can feel at ease!"

"Well, this matter can't be sloppy, if it's all right, go quickly, I'll help you with that matter!"

Afterwards, Li Yu thanked Aunt Liu and left. Aunt Liu kept sighing after Li Yu left, thinking that Granny Liu's meeting such a kind child as Sister Yu was God's compensation!Looking at the time, he thought about going to various houses as early as possible, helping Li Yu hire someone, and locked the door to go out without mentioning it.

When Li Yu arrived in the town, he went directly to the best Huichuntang in the town. Li Yu still laughed in his heart when he saw the name, thinking why the medical center is called Huichuntang?This name is really vulgar enough, do the doctors here really have the art of rejuvenation?Li Yu didn't know about this, but it seemed that the doctor Zhang that the Lin family had brought to treat Bao Bao last time was the doctor in the spring hall this time, and the one who came to the Lin family to find him should be a good doctor.

Li Yu thought so and went in. There was only a fat man who looked like a shopkeeper standing behind the counter and pulling his abacus in the medical hall. He didn't notice Li Yu came in.

Li Yu originally wanted to wait for him to find him, but the shopkeeper seemed to be too serious, he didn't find Li Yu after a while, Li Yu sighed in his heart that his sense of existence was too low, and then walked to the counter He coughed twice before he caught the shopkeeper's attention.

The shopkeeper heard a light cough, raised his head, and found a little girl with an embarrassing face standing in front of him, and immediately put on a kind smile and asked, "Is the little girl here to grab medicine?"

"No, shopkeeper, I want to invite a doctor to my house to see grandma! My grandma has a cough recently!"

The shopkeeper heard that the doctor was going to visit him, so he took a look at Li Yu's clothes before he said, "There is a fee for visiting the doctor. If your grandma just has a cough, just grab and stick the cough medicine. Take two It's fine."

Hearing this, Li Yu frowned unconsciously. He came here to invite a doctor, so he didn't care about the person, so why did he prescribe medicine indiscriminately?Did he look at himself just now because he was afraid that he would not be able to afford the consultation fee?Li Yu curled his lips, he really judges people by their appearance, he was just wearing a slightly worn dress, which was not torn or patched, so how could he be included in the group of those who have no money for medical visits?

"Shopkeeper, I have money for outpatient fees, please find a doctor to go back with me!"

Li Yu saw that the shopkeeper was embarrassed, but he didn't look like Li Yu was rich, so he tentatively said, "Little girl, the consultation fee is two hundred yuan, which is not considered a medicine. money."

It seems that the shopkeeper is still afraid that I will be indebted to him for his outpatient fees, so Li Yu didn't say anything more, took out a tael of silver from his purse and waved it in front of the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you can call me now." Doctor?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect that Li Yu was really rich, so he didn't say anything, and said cheerfully, "That's okay, girl, sit there for a while, and I'll go and call Doctor Zhang for you."

Li Yu looked at the shopkeeper who walked to the backyard and shook his head, sat on a chair in the lobby of the medical center and waited for him, and soon the fat shopkeeper came out, followed by a doctor carrying a medicine box, Li Yu Taking a closer look, he was still an acquaintance. It turned out that Doctor Zhang was following the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper brought Dr. Zhang to Li Yu and said, "Dr. Zhang, this is the little girl who wants to ask someone to see you." Dr. Zhang also recognized Li Yu, stroked his beard and said to Li Yu with a smile, "It turns out it is Miss Li! I wonder if anyone in the family is sick?"

"Hehe, hello Doctor Zhang. My grandma has been coughing a lot lately. I just wanted to ask a doctor to visit my house. I didn't expect to meet Doctor Zhang."

The fat shopkeeper listened to him, feeling that the two knew each other, so he said, "So the girl and Doctor Zhang know each other?" The fat shopkeeper was speaking to Li Yu, but his eyes were slightly questioning. To Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang explained how he knew Li Yu in a few words, and the fat shopkeeper thought to himself that this girl is the savior of the young master of the Lin family!Thinking of the fat shopkeeper's speech, he became more enthusiastic, and finally sent an apprentice to drive the hospital's carriage to send Li Yu and Doctor Zhang back.

There was a ready-made carriage, and Li Yu didn't refuse. He thanked the fat shopkeeper and asked the apprentices from the medical center to drive the carriage back.

When the carriage heard the door of Li Yu's house, Doctor Zhang was very surprised to see the big house in front of him, thinking about how it took only a few months, how did the small courtyard become the big house now?However, Doctor Zhang is worthy of having seen the world. Although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't show his face at all. He just stroked his beard and smiled and followed Li Yu into the door. The apprentice driving the car was not as well-positioned as Doctor Zhang. Stressed, at first he thought that their family's conditions were not good when he saw Li Yu's clothes, but when he saw the big house in front of him, the little apprentice opened his mouth in surprise, and stammered, "Girl? This is your house? "

Li Yuzi saw his surprised expression, but he didn't take it seriously, he just said, "Yes! Why don't this little brother come in and sit for a while!"

"No, no, I'll just sit in the carriage and wait, and watch the carriage by the way!" Seeing what he said, Li Yu didn't insist on asking him to go in, and he avoided suspicion if he didn't come in.So Li Yu just led Dr. Zhang into the house, Mo Yu and Xue Yu ran out of the house as soon as they got to the middle of the courtyard, seeing that Li Yu brought someone back, they didn't call, they just ran to Li Yu's side After rubbing against each other, Li Yu patted their heads one by one, "Okay, let's go and play!"

"Doctor Zhang, please come inside, my grandma is in the east room!"

Doctor Zhang nodded, looked back at Xueyu and Moyu who had run past, and said to Li Yu, "Miss raises these two dogs so mighty and mighty! That head is probably stronger than a grown man standing upright." Get high!"

"Hehe, yes! But they are very obedient and won't attack people casually!" Li Yu shouted to the east room after saying this, "Grandma! I'm back!"

Immediately afterwards, there was an echo of Granny Liu's voice mixed with coughing from the east room, "Sister Yu is back? Why have you been away for so long?"

Li Yu opened the curtain and walked into the room first, and saw Granny Liu sitting on the kang, sewing clothes, and Tuantuan sitting at the kang table, practicing the characters Qi Che taught him.Seeing that Li Yu came back, he put down the special brush in his hand and rushed towards Li Yu, "Sister, you are back! Tuan Tuan is very good! No trouble with grandma!"

Li Yu kissed Tuantuan's little cheek and said, "Well, Tuantuan is so good, go and practice calligraphy!"

Tuantuan obediently sat back at the table and continued to practice calligraphy. Li Yu went to Granny Liu's side, snatched all the needles and threads from her hands and put them away, "Why do you have to take a good rest and do these troublesome things? Hurry up!" Lie down, I'll get you a doctor to look at it for you."

Granny Liu was supported by Li Yu, and when she heard that she had invited a doctor, she couldn't help nagging, Li Yu listened while covering her with a quilt, and finally said, "Okay, don't talk about it, I have invited everyone here, just take a look, even if it is my peace of mind!"

Granny Liu had no choice but to nod her head. Seeing her nodding, Li Yu turned around and invited Dr. Zhang in again, "Doctor Zhang, please come in. This is my grandma. You have seen her before, please help her old lady." Take your pulse."

Doctor Zhang nodded, walked to Granny Liu, put the medicine box on his back, and said to Granny Liu, "Please hold out one hand, and I'll take your pulse."

Granny Liu stretched out her left hand and put it on the wrist pad that Dr. Zhang took out. Dr. Zhang took his pulse for a while and said to Li Yu, "It's okay, but I just caught a cold, and my body seems to have suffered some pain in the early years. , my body is a bit weak, I prescribed a medicine, decocted it every morning and evening, and it will be fine after three or four days, but remember not to be tired or hurt your mind. How about this, I will prescribe another medicine, take it every few days , can also nourish the body." Doctor Zhang said while taking out a pen and paper to write the prescription and handing it to Li Yu.

Li Yu took the prescription, "Okay, thank you doctor! I'll go back to get the medicine with you, please wait a moment." Li Yu invited Dr. Zhang to the lobby, went to his room and gave Zhang two hundred Wen The doctor told Granny Liu to take a good rest before following Huichuntang's car to the town.

After arriving at Huichun Hall, Li Yu let the shopkeeper grab the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhang, and asked Dr. Zhang some questions about Granny Liu's health before going back.

By the time Li Yu got home after tossing back and forth, the sun was almost setting after the medicine was boiled, and Wei Shi, Lian Er, and Qi Che also came back shortly after Li Yu had just entered.

As soon as Lian Er entered the house, she smelled the smell of medicine. Following the smell of medicine, she came to the kitchen and saw Li Yu squatting in front of the small clay stove, boiling medicine, "Miss? What are you doing?"

Hearing Lian'er's voice, Li Yu stood up, and found that Wei Shi and Qi Che were also standing behind him, Li Yu smiled and said, "I'm making medicine, I see grandma's cough is getting worse these two days, so go The town invited a doctor to look at it, and the doctor said that he had caught a cold and was a little weak, so he prescribed medicine, isn’t that right? I went to get the medicine, and you came back as soon as you got through it!”

After hearing this, everyone asked about Li Yu's mother-in-law's condition with worried faces. After hearing Li Yu's words, they felt relieved. Lian Er took the fan in Li Yu's hand and said, "Miss, go and rest for a while! You must be tired after running back and forth several times, I can just boil the medicine!"

Li Yu nodded, told Lian'er the order in which the herbs were put in, and told her to go to the backyard after taking care of the medicines. She was thinking of picking some sweet potatoes to grow seedlings, so that they could be planted directly after the land was tidied up. .

Seeing Li Yu go out, Qi Che followed, "Sister! Didn't I tell you to rest? What are you doing in the backyard again?"

"It's nothing, I want to pick some more sweet potato seedlings!"

"You just can't stay idle, let me go with you!"

"Hey, I'm working hard to make money to support my family! Why can't I be idle! Brother, go to the meeting! I can fix it myself!"

"It's okay, my head is swollen after reading for a day, I just need to do some activities."

Li Yu didn't stop him when he said that, so the brothers and sisters ran to the backyard to dump sweet potatoes together. Half an hour later, Mrs. Wei came to the backyard and asked them to eat. Li Yu patted the dirt on his hands and gathered around The seedling pit went around again, and after finding nothing wrong, he took Qi Che to wash his hands and eat.

After Li Yu and Qi Che finished washing and entered the room, they looked at the delicious food on the table and patted their stomachs, "It smells so good! I'm really hungry!"

"Eat when you're hungry, so many dishes are enough for you!"

"Hehe, grandma, how do you feel after drinking the medicine?"

"Well, don't say it's really useful, I don't cough much, and my body feels much lighter."

"Our sister Yu is still careful. You have such a good granddaughter at the old stall, but you must take good care of your health. Think about your granddaughter's blessings in the future!" Granny Liu almost burst into laughter when she heard Wei's words, " Don't be envious, sister Yu is my good granddaughter, isn't she also your good daughter? Let's enjoy the blessing together!"

Wei Shi covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, that's the reason! Sister Yu is a rare good child, and I'm blessed in this life!"

After Wei said this, she and Granny Liu looked at Li Yu and smiled very contentedly. Li Yu was a little embarrassed by their compliments. Seeing Qi Che snickering aside, he quickly changed the subject, "Grandma, godmother, You enjoy my blessing now, and you will enjoy my elder brother's blessing in the future, and I will also enjoy my elder brother's blessing at that time, our family has fallen into a nest of blessings!"

Granny Liu and Mrs. Wei were even more delighted when they heard that. Seeing Qi Che's eyes filled with anticipation, Qi Che also smiled, patted Li Yu's head, and said seriously, "Well, brother must work hard to let Sister, enjoy yourself in the future!"

Tuantuan, who was sitting at the table holding chopsticks, watched everyone turn around, and when he heard what Qi Che said, he said childishly, "I want to enjoy myself too!", making everyone laugh again.The laughter spread outside the house, even outside the courtyard
