A disturbance seems to have passed like this, but Mo Qing is uneasy, now the punishment for buying and selling human beings is not serious, and some families will buy and sell children if they can't give birth to a son, and the United States calls it "recruiting men". Yes, yes, recruiting a boy is to adopt a boy, and then recruit a child to give birth to a boy and pass on the lineage.

It's okay if they can't give birth, in order to support the elderly, they are good for the adopted children, but they are born, in this era of material scarcity, even if they are biological, they have to go to the ground to earn rations, not to mention the adopted ones, he has heard that the adopted male baby is a cow and a horse to support the family.

There are also female babies who are drowned by their relatives or thrown into the mountains within a day of birth. The better ones are given away to be child daughters-in-law, and their lives are poor, and they have no family support to beat and scold their mother-in-law.

The idea of equality between men and women is still a lot in the twenty-first century, let alone now. The inferiority of men and women is deeply imprinted in the minds of these people, and no one can change it.

"Junzi! Junzi! How are you doing? I miss you so much!"

A black and thin doll rushed over and hugged Junzi, startling Mo Qing, who was thinking about things, and hurriedly pulled Junzi, who was squinting, behind him.

"Big Tiger, I miss you so much! This is my sister! Sister! This is the big tiger I told you!"

Junzi saw his little friend sweep away the sullenness just now, what he was most worried about after he left was the big tiger and the old uncle, the big tiger grew up with him, the two were inseparable, and they caught fish together every day and went up the mountain.

"Big Tiger, we are just about to go to your house, are you going to the river again? By the way, I've got a gift for you, we'll see later."

Junzi's old house is next to Dahu's house, and there are already people living in the village. The thatched mud house, and the courtyard outside was also in the middle of things, and the family couldn't help but be embarrassed when they saw the two of them. The woman directly "clanged" and closed the door.

The big tiger family has not been separated, and everyone is resting after work, and the big tiger mother saw the army crying loudly. Touch his body and see that he is indeed doing well.

"This is the sister of the military son, come in and sit, there are no good things at home, this is all wild tea in the mountains, it's hot, you drink some to moisten your throat"

It was the family who spoke, Mrs. Zhao, Mo Qing originally came to see her and looked a little fierce, and thought that she was not easy to get along with, but she didn't want to be so hearty.

"Thank you, grandma, I heard Junzi say that you took care of him at that time, come back and take a look, you keep this thing, it's all Junzi's heart"

Mo Qing handed over the things, it was an air-dried chicken, three salted eggs, and she gave the family a similar amount today.

"I'm ashamed to say it, we didn't take care of him at that time, his father was in a hurry, we were in difficulty and couldn't help, my old man couldn't stay up that time, and the family didn't have the heart to take care of it, and I was relieved to see my uncle take him to the house. Who would have thought that the mother-in-law would lose her conscience and sell Junzi! It should be, he can meet you, you can take the things back, see that Junzi is doing well now, and I will have the face to see Meizi when I go down. ”

The old lady talked about the events of that time, and tears flowed from her cloudy eyes, and her old man was also starving to death at that time, and in order to save food rations for the family, her old son also went up the mountain because of hunger and broke his leg.

When the family talked about the disaster, the atmosphere was also happy just now.

"Now that the year is getting better, the better days are still to come, by the way, Junzi, didn't you prepare a gift for the big tiger! Take it out to the big guy."

Mo Qing couldn't see this kind of scene, so he had to change the topic.

Junzi took out a lot of things from his small satchel, a villain book, a wooden gun, and a slingshot made by his Uncle Tomo, as well as bits and pieces of knick-knacks.

"Big Tiger, this is the peanut candy my sister made, it's delicious, I saved it for you, if only you could go to the county seat, I invite you to eat popsicles, I can earn my own money now." Really, my sister taught me to collect medicine and sell it for a lot of money, it would be nice if you would do it, and we have one on this mountain. ”

"What herbs? Suck, this candy is so delicious," Dahu saw that the army took out so many things, and Mo Qing didn't object, so he accepted the things. His father was right, Junzi had found a good family.

Junzi looked at Mo Qing, saw her nodded, and then said: "My sister is a doctor, the master is a doctor in the county, my father is also a doctor, my sister followed to learn to collect medicine when she was a child, and then the adults left, and my sister taught the people in the village to collect medicine." I now follow the people in the village up the mountain every day, and I sold about 20 yuan last time, but my sister now has to go back to teach medicine in the village, so I don't have time to pick it. ”

"Twenty dollars! My God! Junzi, you really can't stand it! Qingqing! I didn't expect you to be a doctor! Junzi can enjoy happiness with you. ”

Junzi's words shocked the whole family, Zhao Jiagou is poor! The centimeters are enough for the family to eat and drink all year round, so how can there be any money left? When the harvest is bad, even having enough to eat is a problem. Even if you eat black batter now, you have to add more than half of the wild vegetables to mix it to be full.

"I picked for a long time to sell so much, we are small in the mountains, we can't go in, and there are not many picks outside, like Sister Peach, they dare to go to the mountains, only more than us. The amount of dried food is not much, and there are no precious herbs. ”

Junzi explained that he had worked hard for a long time to save so much, otherwise where would he be able to sell it for more than 20 yuan?

But even so, everyone was surprised, even if a family could have about 20 yuan a year, it would be a lot of money for them now.

Mo Qing looked at this family, the doll is better, the adult is not thin, it can be described as skinny, the big tiger's pants are sewn with fertilizer bags, and there is a little girl, she is covered with clothes made of fertilizer bags, the same as when she met the army, with a big head and a small body. His eyes were purring and he stared at her, his little black hands clutching his brother's share of peanut candy.

"Qingqing, my youngest son broke his leg, can you help him take a look, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, my family is poor, there will be a famine, and I don't have the money to go to the hospital." ”

"I didn't bring a medicine box here, let's take a look first" Seeing that Mo Qing agreed, the family was grateful.

Walking through the hall, a skinny man was lying on the bed, the room was not smelly, and it seemed that the family had taken good care of him. The man's eyes were blank and he didn't react much to the visitors.

"Dongzi, this is the doctor, come, let's let her see, my mother doesn't have the ability to take you to the hospital, this doctor is good, you are obedient, let the family see"

Mo Qing gave him a pulse, needless to say, there are a lot of physical problems, because the bones in his legs have been deformed without treatment, and if they could be treated, they would not be so serious. Now, if you want to treat, you can only break the bone and put a cast on it. But this person's body is too weak, and he probably can't bear it.

"There is a way to treat your leg, but the treatment has to re-fix the bone, originally your leg was just fractured and displaced, alas, if you want to treat, you should first nourish your body, otherwise the body will not be able to stand it at that time. ”

Dongzi heard that he could be treated, but he lowered his head and didn't speak anymore when he thought about his own situation, he hated that he couldn't die and dragged down his family.

"How much does the treatment cost?" Uncle Lian asked busily.

"Specifically, I have to go to the hospital to see, my master works in the county hospital, and he can be exempted from a little fee at that time, he is weak, and he can eat well to nourish him, don't you have a river here? ”

Mo Qing looked at the family, large and small, it is not easy to raise the body! She has been raising the body of the army for so long to get better, usually cooking soup and putting medicinal herbs, and the meals are good, and it has some effect.

"We don't have any fish in the river, I haven't seen one for a long time today, and my second uncle said that people would eat all the small fish during the drought, but now there are none. "The big tiger also came over. He was busy catching fish every day, but there were too few in the river.

The adults were silent, money!

Yejia Village is quite wealthy, there are doctors who usually don't need to go to the hospital for minor illnesses, and now the village will collect medicine and the family has a lot of income, and the swamp has improved the living standard of the village. She didn't go out either, she didn't know that she wasn't so poor in this era. She thought of her grandfather's words: "The poor really can't afford to get sick." ”

"I have a class tomorrow, I can teach you to collect medicine this afternoon, and the army will follow. ”

She can't do much, she has money, but she won't take it out, and it depends on them how much they can do. In this era, they are all poor, and she can't see that those who are worse than her are overflowing with sympathy and throwing money everywhere. Teaching people to fish is also for the sake of the army.

"Thank you! Thank you!" The old lady was about to kneel down for her, how could Mo Qing let the elders kneel.

"Don't, kneel down to break your life, I don't know what herbs are on this mountain, we'll find out later." ”

The old lady hurriedly opened the cabinet and took out the food for the eldest daughter-in-law to cook, and ruthlessly took three eggs and put a lot of black noodles, which was the best thing that the family could come up with. As the field is not busy now, they all put chaff into it.

Junzi was telling Dahu about his affairs in Yejia Village, this kid was measured, and he didn't show off, but Dahu would be envious when he heard that he could go to school. The three dolls are reading the villain's book, and Junzi teaches them to read.

"Qingqing, let you see the joke, this is far away from the commune, the dolls in the village have never gone to school, and the village chief's baby has been learning a few words for a year and will come back"

"It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay,"

In a few years, there will be educated youths in the countryside, and then there will be people in the village to teach. There are also a lot of people who have been decentralized, and it would be good to make arrangements to build a school when the time comes.

After a few meals, the adults in the family all asked for leave and did not go to work, and the village chief knew that Mo Qing was at their house and did not say anything and approved it. Although I was curious, I didn't ask.

There are more mountains in Zhaojiagou than in Yejia Village, and there will be no villages here in the future. The hunters here do not easily accept apprentices, and the villagers do not dare to go inside, and they are all operating on the periphery.

"It's Artemisia annua, there's plantain here, there's wormwood, and all of these things can be sold for money. ”

As soon as Junzi walked to the bottom of the mountain, he found out, Mo Qing said the method of drying, and several people were excited to see that everything all over the mountain could be sold for money.

"These d things are worthless, a big basket can't compare to precious medicinal materials, let's go to the mountains"

Not to mention, because Zhaojiagou has no doctors, and the villagers don't know medicinal materials, they will see a lot of Codonopsis Astragalus, Mo Qing taught them how to pick and how to concoct, and the army also picked a lot, and he was busy for a long time on this day.

"Sister, let's see if this is Chuanbei? and this. Isn't it Baiji!"

"Yes, you guys have a lot of stuff!"

"We don't recognize the many things, and we're ruining them in the mountains! Thank you so much!"

A few people picked for three hours, and the basket was full before they reluctantly went down the mountain, and it was not too early, so Mo Qing had to hurry home.

"Qingqing, there's nothing at home, you bring this chicken, don't shirk, thank you for making money in the future." "The old lady is happy today! My son's leg has been saved, and the family has a job to earn money, can I thank them?

"Grandma Zhao, you don't need to leave it to Uncle Dongzi to make up for your body, and you can go to the hospital when you get your body well. "The only hen in the house doesn't feel safe eating her.

"Take it, make up for it when you make money in the future, don't you look down on our family if you don't take it?

Having said that, Mo Qing can only bring this one, and they can also sell these medicinal materials for a lot of money, and they will find an opportunity to give some money back.

"Big Tiger, I'm leaving! I'm going to play with you when I'm free!"

"Then don't forget! I'll look for you when I make money!"

The two babies hugged each other and reluctantly separated, Mo Qing saw that it was not too early and could only take the army away, several adults were busy drying medicinal materials, Dahu and the little girl were sent to the entrance of the village, Mo Qing put the two yuan in a cloth bag, and let the big tiger go home and see it again.

"Junzi, don't forget me!"

The big tiger saw them go away and cried loudly!

"No! Don't forget me!"

The army is crying and walking, Mo Qing will be like a wicked man who beats mandarin ducks.

"Okay, don't cry! There are a lot of medicinal herbs here, so if we have time, we can go to the nearby mountains to collect medicine, and you can see you then! You are a man! How can a man drop cat urine like you?"

"Really! We're going to pick up medicine, sister! I've picked a lot of herbs today! There's so much of a lot of herbs here! The adults in our village have also picked them, and there's not much left!"

"Really, if you don't cry, I'll bring you here, and when the time comes, Sister Peach and they will also come, I didn't expect that no one in Zhaojiagou would collect medicine, there are more medicinal materials here than in our village. ”

"Hey, hey!"
