Shumin boiled porridge silently, and in a blink of an eye, the sky was bright, and the people of the Zhang family also got up one after another. Shumin boiled the porridge and brought a bowl to Hui'er, leaving the rest in the pot.

"Ouch, it's so thick, it's really a loser's money-loser, fortunately she left, otherwise how could there be so much food for her to spoil!" Zhang Li scooped several scoops of water and re-diluted it into gruel that could look in the mirror, before he was satisfied to add to the fire, and secretly admired how good he was at living: the amount of two bowls left was the amount she cooked for the whole family, hehe

When eating breakfast, Old Man Zhang's face turned dark and dark when he saw the clear and shining porridge. Zhengyuan will marry tomorrow, and the guests who should come to the Zhang family have arrived. actually entertaining people with such a meal is really a shame for decades.

After eating, Old Man Zhang left Shumin and said that he would have something to say to her later. Shumin also happened to want to say that Hui'er went to recuperate from her illness, so she patiently waited for everyone to finish eating, and Qiao's also served everyone a cup of tea.

Old man Zhang drank tea for a long time before he said to Shumin slowly: "Hui'er will trouble you in the past few days." It is inconvenient to keep a sick person for a happy event at home. ”

"What's not troublesome, I'm Hui'er's mother. Shu Min Benkai still wanted to speak, but when he saw that Old Man Zhang had already spoken, he followed his words.

"If only you could think so. Old man Zhang took a sip of tea and found that the tea had already been drunk, so he put down the tea bowl.

"Is this the end?" Shumin asked, "Hui'er needs to be well raised, not to mention the ten taels of silver medicine, the one that should be replenished can't be left behind." "Shumin didn't think about asking the Zhang family for medicine, but he should always give some supplements.

Old man Zhang saw that she said straightforwardly about asking for money, and his face was not very good. And Zhang Li had already jumped up, "Isn't that already awake, the doctor said that it will be fine when you wake up." ”

"It's not that it's okay, but it's okay if you take care of it. I just moved out and there is nothing at home, so I should know very well what I eat at every meal now. But if I have it, I will not ask for it. But now what else do I have besides soybeans and sweet potatoes?" Shumin was angry, so good that she was a granddaughter, why was she so affectionate?

"Alright, old woman, go and get two taels of silver. Old man Zhang frowned and pondered for a while, and asked Zhang Li to go and get the silver. Now that my relatives and friends are here, I can't let this matter gossip, otherwise I won't be able to see anyone in these ten miles and eight villages.

It's a pity that Zhang Li can't carry it clearly, and when he hears that he wants silver, it's like cutting her flesh.

"Hey, old man, where do we still have silver, the money for tomorrow's wine, and the money for food and wine, but we still owe it to others. Not wanting to take the money, she began to cry poor. Since the beginning of the year, I have spent a few dollars and miles, and I have taken it all out, especially when it comes to the money for Shumin's medical treatment and Hui'er's medical treatment later, it is simply beyond my means

Shu Min had a headache when she heard it, in her previous life, she was a person who had no concept of money, and what she was most afraid of was those cumbersome accounts.

"Since the Zhang family is so short of money, let's give one or two. Shumin didn't even want to ask them for a tael, but Hui'er really needed money there, so in the end she had to take a step back and ask for a tael of silver. For the rest of the money, let's figure it out on our own.

Zhang wanted to say something, but the old man finally couldn't hold his face, and ordered her to hurry up and get the silver.

One or two pieces of silver are only a small piece, and as soon as Shu Min got the silver, he knew that his heart was too soft. If there is a shortage of silver in the family, it should be a copper plate at this time. Looking at Zhang Li's clothes and the face of the treacherous scheme, Shu Min regretted that his intestines were cleared. That's Hui'er's nutrition fee!

took the money, Shumin didn't stay long, packed a few pieces of clothes, and hugged Hui'er to go back. Hui'er drank some porridge, her spirit was slightly better, and she weakly rested her head on Shumin's shoulder, her eyes blank.

When I passed by the kitchen, the kitchen was about to kill chickens, and more than a dozen chickens were shivering and hiding in a corner, looking in horror at the people sharpening knives next to them. The more Shu Min thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt that he had been fooled, so he took a tael of silver less. If you open your mouth now, people will only say that you are greedy and vexatious, so there is only one way.

She put Hui'er on the stone bench outside the door, rushed into the kitchen by herself, caught two old hens, one in each hand, and hurried outside.

Qiao's was the first to react and immediately blocked the door. Shumin proudly waved the chicken in her hand, and took advantage of the moment she dodged to grab the door.

"Sue the old man, the family has no money, so I'll catch two chickens to make up for Hui'er, so that he doesn't have to worry. ”

After speaking, Shumin picked up Hui'er and walked away. Leaving the Zhang family in a room, everyone looked at each other.

Put Hui'er on the bed and lie down, and Shumin raised the snatched hen to the backyard. She was going to kill one first, and keep the other one to lay eggs.

Yesterday's egg didn't know where it was lost when I was looking for Hui'er, and Shumin took a special look at the chicken coop when he went into the backyard today, hoping to pick up the egg again.

It's a pity that I didn't even see the shadow of the egg after watching it for a long time. Shumin had no choice but to fetch some grain to feed the chickens. The chicken, perhaps glad to see the two companions coming, giggled and talked to them after eating.

Killing chickens is actually a technical job, obviously Shumin does not have this technology, the chicken was cut several times on the neck with her eyes closed, and it was still alive in the yard for a long time, and finally died of blood. "It's your bad luck to die at my hands, I hope you will have a good baby in your next life. Seeing that the chicken was finally dead, Shumin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly turned hot water and began to pluck the feathers of the chicken.

Yesterday, I went into the mountains and got dozens of chestnuts, which were just used to stew chicken. Shumin thought happily.

At noon, the chicken was finally stewed. Shu Min first took a small bowl of soup out, and let the rest continue to stew, this is an old hen, and it takes a ton to taste.

woke up Hui'er, Shumin fed her a small spoonful, but Hui'er's spirit has not been very good, and she has no reaction when she talks to her. Shumin just thought that she was still weak, and let her continue to fall asleep after drinking the soup.

I have to find a way to get the money quickly, Shu Min touched the prescription given by Dr. Hu in his arms. He said firmly in his heart, "You must give Hui'er medicine, and you must not let her leave the root of her illness." ”

Hui'er's clothes are all patches, and there is a smell on them, Shumin cleaned up for a long time and didn't think of any good way to smell them, seeing that the sun was shining, he simply washed them, so as not to have germs.

I don't think there is soap here, and the laundry is made of plant ash. No wonder the clothes are more and more torn and can't be washed clean!

There is no way, so I have to settle for now, wait and see if I can find it later, and make a few pieces of soap.

Fortunately, a small stream flowed from the peak ridge and flowed around the house to the small river in the village. Shumin looked at several places, but couldn't find a big stone suitable for washing clothes, so he had to walk farther. Washing and washing, one was not careful, a piece of clothing was washed away by the water, and Shumin hurriedly lay down in the water to chase the clothes. There was a willow tree with a crooked neck by the stream, the leaves had fallen off, and one of its branches was almost on the surface of the water, just blocking the clothes, and Shumin picked up the clothes. Just as he was about to go back, he saw a few shiny stones next to the roots of the willow tree, and driven by curiosity, Shumin picked up a few and found that it was a translucent crystal.

"It's like a plaster. Shumin sniffed it, "Even the smell is similar." Shumin played with it and sighed that nature is really magical.

Hey, isn't this the gypsum I've been looking for? To be exact, it's raw gypsum, and to make tofu, you have to simmer it and then grind it into powder. Shumin has always thought that the gypsum needed to make tofu is cooked gypsum powder, and when he saw the raw gypsum, he suddenly short-circuited his brain.

Shumin dug up all the pieces under the willow tree, "There should be more than these pieces, there must be more around here." Sure enough, in the vicinity, Shu Minyou found many of them one after another. Now it's good, everything is solved. Shu Min looked at the shiny stones in his hand and felt that they were simply more beautiful than gemstones.

After discovering the plaster, Shumin's mind finally settled down, and he hurriedly washed his clothes and hung them in the yard. The courtyard faces west, and now is the time when the sun is right.

After picking up so much plaster, Shumin didn't plan to make them all mature gypsum powder at once, but just picked a piece that was pleasing to the eye, and estimated that it weighed half a catty. There was still fire in the stove, and Shumin poured the fire shovel into the brazier, placed the plaster on it, and baked it slowly. If you are a qiē shun lì, you can start making tofu tomorrow. Shumin thought happily.

When I entered the mountain yesterday, there were still two persimmons, and Shumin ate the soft and sweet persimmons, and happily became self-intoxicated.

Yesterday's orchid she had already found two broken clay pots and planted them in the clay pots, and today it seems that they are alive. Shumin put one of the pots in the room, and the other pot on the tea table behind the table of the Eight Immortals, and the room suddenly became a little more angry.

Yes, what is more exciting than having hope in life, Shumin believes that he will take Hui'er to get better and better.
