Chapter 195: Preparing for a Birthday Gift

Village Chief Wang was worried that these people would make trouble in the end by instigating each other, so he simply took his hat and buttoned them up, and pushed them on the old village chief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Who doesn't know that the old village chief was kind, so he had a safe place for Lin Tianming's mother and son, and Lin Tianming was pointed to Lin Tianming at the foot of the mountain in the west, and he did not specify the specific size.

The old village chief has a high rank in the village, and has been the village chief for so many years, and there are many clansmen surnamed Su in this village, even if the village chief Wang has been in charge for many years, when it comes to the old village chief in this village, no one dares to be restless about anything.

There is still half a month to go before the old village chief's 80th birthday, and the man's birthday is advanced, which means that the old village chief is 79 years old.

But the old village chief is not in good health, sometimes he is very clear, sometimes he is confused, except for sometimes he goes out for a walk under the care of his family, and he no longer walks around the village.

The people of the village came with emotion, and in the end they could only sigh and leave, and the matter was so cold.

Su Fang only knew that there were many people in the village who wanted to come to see their charcoal kiln, but she didn't know that these people also ran to find the village chief, and she didn't go out these days.

Aunt Lin was not idle, not only helping to cook, but also washing clothes for everyone. Now, in order to keep the kiln at night, everyone lives here, and the number of shifts is divided, with the younger brothers keeping watch in the first half of the night and the older brothers keeping watch in the second half of the night.

Naturally, everyone also takes turns to sleep, and there is no need for so many houses, the kang that was originally built in the east side house and the small hall was planned to be moved in by Lin Tianming in winter, and now he let them live.

Before getting married, no one knew that there would be a space suddenly, but now they are busy grinding powder in the space at night, so they sleep there, and they are not afraid of being cold outside.

Of course, it's only October, and the night is a little cold, but it's not cold, so there's no need to burn the kang.

The second day of the winter month is the 80th birthday of the old village head, and Lin Tianming also prepared a birthday gift early.

In addition to the two pairs of thick cotton shoes made by Aunt Lin, there are also six winter cloths prepared by Su Fang, plus two old ginseng prepared by Lin Tianming a long time ago, this gift is both valuable and humane.

Lin Tianming said that these two old mountain ginsengs were dug in the mountains in the winter five years ago, and they were nearly a hundred years in size, and they were sold for up to 100 taels.

It's not expensive, but as soon as he gives two, it's worth a lot of money.

"Why did you just dig up two branches, do you know that you lack gifts for the ninth grandfather's birthday, and these two branches ran to you by yourself?" Su Fang teased Lin Tianming.

"I've been wandering in the mountains for more than half a month, looking for a suitable place to dig traps and make traps, but it's not every day that there is prey for fear that I won't get anything, so I can find it myself."

"So I looked around for mountain goods, digging some mushrooms and picking some wild fruits to satisfy my hunger, but I didn't expect to find a cliff under a cliff, and there were several grows, so I didn't care about the size of it, I dug them all."

"I had been walking in the mountains for most of the day, and I was thirsty and hungry, so I ate the youngest one, and the two larger ones were roasted and eaten by me, and I didn't catch any prey that day, but I wasn't hungry at all."

"I want to eat it too!" After listening to Lin Tianming's explanation, Su Fang only felt red and greedy.

She has eaten a lot of Chinese patent medicines with ginseng ingredients, and she has also stolen the sky-high ginseng for her employer. You can eat ginseng as a sweet potato, it's really ......

"Next time, I'll find it for you to eat." Lin Tianming was amused by her smacking lips.

"So I just left two sticks and didn't eat them, and I just brought them back?" Su Fang rolled her eyes, and then ignored that this time it was the Year of the Monkey.

"No, I brought five back, kept the two largest ones, kept one for my mother with the three slightly smaller ones, and sold the other two cheaply to Li Langzhong."

"Cheap?" Su Fang was surprised, "As far as I know, Grandpa Li is a straightforward, kind-hearted and righteous person, at most he has a short temper, but he shouldn't bully you like this, right?" ”

"I sold it to him cheaply, and I originally gave it to him directly, after all, after so many years, our family and the village have not interacted, but I have been taken care of by him a lot."

"You know that I went up to the mountains to hunt when I was young, I couldn't have such a skill in the first place, naturally I suffered a lot, and sometimes I got injured, but I gritted my teeth and survived."

"I didn't expect to be seen by Li Langzhong on the road once, and when he saw that I refused to be treated, he dragged me to the medicine store to give me medicine, and scolded me."

"Even if I don't scold myself, I should think about my mother, if I have something to do, how can my mother live. He also scolded me for not neglecting myself, only a good body can work and make money. ”

Lin Tianming's eyes were obscure when he said this, and he spoke calmly now, but he was only a teenager back then, and no one knew the pain in his heart.

Li Langzhong didn't ask much, just bandaged his wound, decocted the medicine and forced him to drink it, and warned him that if he didn't want to come to the medicine store, he should protect himself, and if he was injured, he must come for treatment.

Later, he really practiced martial arts diligently in order not to get injured again, and he would take more care of himself when hunting, but sometimes he would still be injured, he wanted to hide secretly, but he didn't want to come back every time he went down the mountain, Li Langzhong would come and check that he was okay before leaving.

Later, when he got older, his martial arts were much stronger, and Li Langzhong no longer cared about him like this. It's just that sometimes he stepped on herbs in the mountains and cliffs, and no matter what kind of medicine it was, he just put it aside and ran.

Li Langzhong didn't chase after him, he accepted it as ordered, and it wasn't until that time that he gave two ginseng sticks that Li Langzhong forced fifty taels of silver.

And Li Langzhong made it clear that he knew that this ginseng was definitely worth more than that, but he could take out so much in the medicine house, and he was embarrassed to take the scattered money.

Of course, he also heard that Lin Tianming ate ginseng as a meal, and his heart was dripping blood, so he accepted it in anger. He has been a langzhong in his life, and he has never seen so much ginseng, and he still eats it as a meal, he thinks.

The love between Lin Tianming and Li Langzhong is not known to the people in the village, only the people of Li Langzhong's family know. It is no wonder that the people in the village think that Li Langzhong looks at Lin Tianming differently and is different.

Even with Su Fang, he was very protective of Su Fang, that time Zhang Li was sent to the medicine house, and he used miscarriage to smear Su Fang, making Li Langzhong so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and scolded people well.

Naturally, she also exposed the misunderstanding of "the child is gone" on the spot, causing Zhang Li to go home and be beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law, and she hasn't been out for a long time, and Mrs. Zhang doesn't allow her to go out to make trouble.

After Su Fang found out, he also said that Li Langzhong was already so angry that he couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, but he didn't want to just protect his shortcomings.

"I kept these two, which were indeed for the old village chief to prepare a birthday gift, and later when I came to the town, I specially bought such a wooden box of ginseng, and waited for the old village chief to give it on his birthday."

"Our family is poor, but the gift can't be cold, so you said that this ginseng ran to me by himself because he knew that I was short of birthday gifts, and that's right!" After Lin Tianming finished explaining, he looked at Su Fang playfully.
