Xu Xiangwan left a part of the medicinal herbs in the valley as seeds when he was digging, and he will dig them again in the next year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This place is like a natural medicine garden, growing all kinds of medicinal herbs, although not as valuable as the medicinal herbs around the lake in the cave, but it is also enough for Xu Xiangwan to dig.

After only half a month's effort, Xu Xiangwan dug up more than 30 catties of rhubarb, 100 catties of kudzu, 50 or 60 catties of succulent, and more than 20 catties of Poria cocos.

It's winter moon, the weather is getting colder, and I heard that there has been a light snow in the neighboring county two days ago.

Today's weather is gloomy and the cold wind is bleak, Xu Xiangwan was going to go up the mountain to collect medicine, but he was stopped by his family.

The weather was too cold, and although Zhang and Xu Qiuyi had made her a new padded jacket to wear, they still couldn't withstand the cold on the mountain.

Xu Xiangwan's hands were already red and swollen, and he began to get frostbite.

Gorou also bought a plaster from the town's Rentokudo yesterday and ordered her not to go up the mountain again.

For the hard work of Wulang and Xu Xiangwan, Zhang and Xu Qiuyi both saw it, and at the same time felt guilty and cared more for them.

Especially Xu Xiangwan, a six-year-old daughter, not only bears the burden of supporting her family, but also has an amazing talent in medicinal materials, and Zhang is distressed and a little uneasy at the same time.

Xu Xiangwan, who was at home, was still idle, sorting and washing the medicinal materials he had dug up, smoking what should be smoked, and roasting what should be roasted, and he was very busy.

Seeing that his daughter was enjoying herself, Zhang, who was helping on the side, wanted to speak and stopped.

Xu Qiuyi stared at Zhang worriedly and said, "Mother, are you unwell?" You go back to your room and rest, here you can be with me and Wan'er. ”

Although Zhang's physical injuries are almost better, in the end, her body is weak, and the weather has suddenly turned cold recently, Xu Qiuyi is worried that she will not be able to resist.

Hearing Xu Qiuyi's question, Xu Xiangwan hurriedly turned around to look at Zhang's, and sure enough, he saw that his complexion was not good, and his complexion, which had been recuperated to be a lot fairer and ruddy, was a little pale.

Zhang waved his hand again and again, smiled and said that he was fine, and insisted on refusing to go back to the room.

Seeing that Zhang's spirit was fine, not like there were signs of illness, Xu Xiangwan relieved himself.

Recently, the weather is not good, and if this batch of medicinal materials is to be dried, I am afraid it will take ten days and half a month, and I can't go up the mountain to collect medicine, so Xu Xiangwan is idle.

It just so happened that some time ago, the needlework that Zhang and Xu Qiuyi received from Ganquan County had not yet been completed, and Xu Xiangwan also learned it.

After studying for a long time, Xu Xiangwan found that he was reluctant in cutting and sewing, but the embroiderer was really not good.

Fortunately, she only made a pair of socks for her own use, and it was almost no big deal to embroider them.

Perhaps because Xu Xiangwan's family moved to the old mansion, and the patriarchs and clan elders lived in the old mansion, everyone in the upper room did not dare to be too presumptuous, and they didn't come to trouble them for a long time.

This is a surprise in moving to the old house.

The house of the old house is sturdy, although the backyard has been uninhabited for many years, but it is not particularly dilapidated, much better than the east wing where they lived before, at least it can shelter from the wind and rain.

After the winter, Gorou took a day off and repaired the dilapidated place, and it was very warm to live in.

The low house also has the advantage of being low, at least it is warm in the winter.

The peaceful days flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the winter solstice. As soon as the winter solstice arrived, it entered the number nine cold days, and the weather was as cold as a day.

On the day of the winter solstice, Shopkeeper Zhu gave Gorou a day off.

Before, Shen Qianyu sent the pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks at the bottom of the pot when they moved, except for Shen Qianyu who came to help them eat some for a few days, the rest had already been salted, so on the day of the winter solstice, Xu Xiangwan's family didn't have to buy meat anymore.

Ganquan County is located in the south, unlike the north, where there are fireplaces and hot kang to heat up. The winter days in Ganquan County are often wet and cold, so on the day of the winter solstice, there is a custom of eating mutton soup to ward off the cold.

I often hear people say that they eat mutton on the winter solstice, and they are not afraid of cold in winter. Although eating mutton may not be so useful, Xujiacun still follows this custom, even if you can't afford mutton, you will buy a few mutton bones to stew a big pot of soup for the family to drink.

These days, I didn't go up the mountain to collect medicine, and the weather was cold, Xu Xiangwan had the habit of lying in bed, and often slept until Zhang made breakfast and asked her to get up.

Today's winter solstice, Xu Xiangwan got up early in the morning, and cut a leg of mutton with Zhang and Xu Qiuyi and put it on the stove for later use.

The well water was very warm in winter, so Gorou went to the village early in the morning to pick up two picks of water and came back to Xu Xiangwan and them to wash vegetables, so that there was no need to boil hot water anymore.

The weather is getting colder, and there are many medicinal materials that need to be smoked, and there is a lot of firewood at home.

Backed by Yinlong Mountain, the most important thing in Xujia Village is Chai He.

However, Xu Xiangwan's family has little labor, Wulang works in the town, Zhang and Xu Qiuyi do housework at home, plus do embroidery work to subsidize the family, and Xu Xiangwan goes up the mountain every day to collect medicine, so almost all the firewood used in the family depends on Xiao Jiu alone, so they will never waste it when they can save firewood.

The yard in the backyard is not small, when he just moved in, Wulang dug a small piece of vegetable furrow when he came home from work, and Zhang took Xu Qiuyi to plant some spinach, winter vegetables, radishes and other winter vegetables to avoid no vegetables to eat after winter. But the radishes that were planted had not yet grown, so Gorou had to buy two large radishes from the town and come back to stew mutton.

When the family was busy, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Who?" Zhang asked first.

On weekdays, Goro is not at home, and several of Zhang's female dependents bolt the door from the inside to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

During the winter solstice festival, the family was very happy, among which Xiao Jiu was the most excited, as soon as he heard someone knocking on the door, he instantly ran to the door, and said with a grin while running: "It must be Brother Qianyu who came to see us." ”

Since the last time he brought someone to help, Shen Qianyu hadn't come again, and Xiao Jiu had been talking about it for a long time.

"Run slowly, don't fall." Zhang couldn't help but smile when he watched Xiao Jiu run fast on his short legs.

"Huh......" Xiao Jiu opened the door, but he didn't see the person he expected, but saw a luxurious carriage parked at the door, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Xiao Jiu, is it your brother Qianyu who is here?" Xu Xiangwan saw that Xiao Jiu didn't move, so he poked his head out of the kitchen suspiciously and asked.

"This is Miss Xu Qi's house?" There was a middle-aged man standing at the door who looked very kind, and when he heard someone asking someone inside the door, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked loudly towards the courtyard.

Hearing that someone was looking for her, Xu Xiangwan muttered in her heart, at this time, apart from Shen Qianyu, who else would come to her house? also indicated that he was looking for Miss Xu Qi. ******************************
