Chapter 262 deserves it

After meeting with his family, taking advantage of the time to set the meal, Qiu Chen turned out of the backyard and stepped into the front yard, Qin Yi happened to come out of the main room, dressed in a black suit, stepping on cowhide fast boots, seeing Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, then bowed and turned around to open the curtain.

Qiu Chen nodded and smiled: "Didn't you let the family make cotton robes?" Why didn't Master Yi wear it? But it's not the right place...... Master Yi doesn't need to be restrained, take it and change it! ”

Qin Yi reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a plausible smile, and lowered his head and said, "Madame, don't worry, the cotton robe fits perfectly...... If you don't go out, you don't wear it. ”

People who practice martial arts seem to be more hardy...... Qiu Chen had such an impression in his mind, so he didn't say more, smiled, and walked into the house.

The main room she entered, as before she left, was warm and clean, and quiet.

Before, only Qin Zheng lived here, and it was normal to be so quiet. Tang Wenyong also came, still so silent, but Qiu Chen was slightly surprised. This reminded her of the lonely figure she had seen before......

Shaking his head slightly, getting rid of all this, Qiu Chen walked into the west room, and it was Qin Li who was guarding the door of the inner room, and when he saw Qiu Chen coming, he immediately smiled on his face, "Madame is back." The third master just went in......"

The first half of the question is hearty and clear, but the second half of the sentence is extremely low.

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded, his gaze swept over the indigo cotton robe on Qin Li's body, and walked into the house through the curtain opened by Qin Li.

Inside the house, Qin Zheng was wearing a cyan cocoon silk embroidered robe, sitting on the outside, and Tang Wenyong also changed into a crimson robe, sitting inside across the kang table, on which there were two tea lamps monotonously...... The room is very clean, and the cleanliness makes Qiu Chen feel a little puzzled, no matter how clean he is, he won't put away the bedding!

Moreover, before, before she left, she obviously sent Qin Zheng a pot of asparagus and a camellia with buds, but now, it is gone...... The whole room was empty, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.

Well, also, when I first entered the door, there was no usual warmth in the outhouse, but there was a ...... Raw smoke taste...... It is the smell of the stove kang not burning for many days, and it is ignited again.

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze swept over the two people sitting solemnly across from him, and chuckled, "You two are ...... Relative to Zen or Enlightenment? ”

Qin Zheng, who was staring at him, couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he heard this, and raised his hand to serve the teacup on the table. Tang Wenyong glanced at Qin Zheng quickly, relaxed his body, bent one leg, supported his elbow on the kang table, and said with a smile: "Zen enlightenment is also stagnant in the face of this...... This person, if he wants to participate, he is also going to the battlefield, he is participating in the killing road! ”

Qiu Chen turned his gaze and looked at Qin Zheng, but he didn't see any change in the expression of someone with his face hanging down, and then said with a smile: "Everyone has their own fate, and everyone has their own way, as long as they don't kill innocents, they are thirsty for killing, killing to stop killing, and killing to save people, it is not the right way!" ”

With a mouth full of nonsense, seeing that even Qin Zheng raised his head and looked at him, Qiu Chen couldn't say anything anymore.

"Hehe, don't pull it, I can't pull it anymore." Qiu Chen smiled and waved his hand, and then said, "It seems that both of you are good...... I'm going to have someone bring dinner, and I'll rest early after dinner...... It's really a shame to rush away with such a heavy snow! ”

After a pause, Qiu Chen said again: "I asked just now, Mu Bo went out this morning, saying that he was coming back tomorrow...... It's too bad to rush with such a big snow, Wen Yong just stays for an extra day or two, and it's not too late to hurry when the snow melts. ”

Tang Wenyong agreed with crooked eyebrows, looked at Qiu Chen bent his knees, turned around and left without hesitation, turned his head and smiled at Qin Zheng and said, "Known as the brave and courageous Marquis of Jingbei, what about your strategy and tactics?" ”

Qin Zheng lowered his eyes, seemed to be deaf to Tang Wenyong's run, and said in a deep voice: "With the 'cowpox' incident, there is nothing bad about you leaving and returning to Beijing this time......

The banter on Tang Wenyong's face dissipated, revealing a hint of disgusted mockery: "The third child robbed the errand of building an embankment and repairing the river, and rushed to pick peaches in a hurry...... Hmph, did he really think his father was old and confused? ”

Qin Zheng looked up at Tang Wenyong, lowered his eyes and looked at the pale yellow tea in the teacup, but did not answer. Tang Wenyong could say this, but he couldn't accept it.

After a while, Qin Zheng said: "The sooner the land is sold, the better, and it is best to rush in ...... In the head, hand the fold up! ”

"Well, I told my second uncle, Wu Yunqiao and Pucheng Mansion that I would auction it in two days, and the next day I collected the silver money and folded it......" Tang Wenyong picked the corners of his mouth, but there was a deep cold in his eyes, "These things have been done, if you want money, you want people, I will look at next year's river work...... There is no credit for repairing it, it is broken, hum! ”

Qin Zheng raised his eyes to look at Tang Wenyong and said in a deep voice: "In this matter, we have to help him and try our best to let him do his errand well." ”

Tang Wenyong narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed: "Okay, that's how it should be!" ”

Although Tang Wenyong's car is much more comfortable, it still makes people very tired after a day of bumps and shaking. After dinner, Qiu Chen accompanied Liu to say a few words, and then took the two children to rest early.

Early in the morning of the second day, the children got up early to exercise as usual, Qiu Chen had a good night's sleep, and no longer lay down, got up and washed together, wrapped in a gray squirrel skin cloak and went out.

Last night there was a gust of wind that blew away the gloom of the sky, and although the sun had not yet risen, the clear blue sky showed that it was a sunny day. The morning air was cold and fresh, Qiu Chen took a deep breath, stretched his waist, shook his arms, and wrapped his cloak tightly and walked out.

After not being at home for a few days, Qiu Chen wanted to take a look around, but she didn't even notice that she had already regarded the place she had first come to as her home.

The snow in the yard had been cleared out and piled up under the flower beds and trees, and Qiu Chen walked out of the house along the eaves, and what he saw was a vast white world.

The water in the pond is frozen, and it is thickly covered with a layer of snow, which mixes the pond with the embankment and the fields, and the height is scattered and undulating, and you can see the houses of the three grandmothers and two or three neighbors, and in the gray and blue morning light, it is faintly a world of ice and snow fairy tales.

"After a day in the car, why don't you sleep more?" Yang Shumeng turned out of the east cross courtyard and greeted her with a smile.

"It's not too tiring to ride all the way...... Qiu Chen turned his head and looked at the fields covered by heavy snow, "Ruixue is a good year, it looks like next year will be a bumper year!" ”

Yang Shu smiled fiercely and said, "The snow is enough, and the wheat will grow fast in the coming year...... This year's harvest is poor, and next year will be a good year, and the people will have a better life. ”

Qiu Chen just felt casually, but it was not as realistic as Yang Shumeng thought...... She still doesn't have the consciousness to rely on the sky to eat. Slightly stunned, Qiu Chen turned his eyes to Yang Shu and said, "This snow is too big, there is nothing affected in the workshop, right?" ”

Hearing Qiu Chen change the topic, Yang Shumeng also said, "It's okay." As soon as winter comes, all the work is moved to the shed, so the impact is not great. ”

The brother and sister talked and walked east together.

When approaching the playground, Qiu Chen saw two figures, one gray and one blue, it was Mr. Ding and Pan Jiaqing standing on the edge of the playground watching the children's morning exercises.

Qiu Chen's brother and sister stepped forward to greet and talk to the two gentlemen, and Qiu Chen also paid attention to the children's exercise on the playground. The warm-up of the early running circle has ended, and the children are boxing with Qin Yi, kicking and punching, with a solemn expression, but they have a bit of a tiger momentum.

But after standing for a while, Qiu Chen said goodbye to the two gentlemen and turned back. Walking home, Qiu Chen said to Yang Shu: "After a while, the workers will come, and the second brother will take care and ask the workers if there is any damage to their homes, whether there are collapsed houses, etc., if there is, let's also stretch out our hands and pull it out." ”

Yang Shumeng agreed and told Qiu Chen about the production situation during this time.

"Girl, you're back!" Old Man Mu's hearty voice arrived, and the figure also arrived in front of Qiu Chen's brothers and sisters, "Girl, let me tell you, my pox vaccine has been tried...... I tried twenty-three children, and all twenty-three of them only had a fever for two days, and then they were alive and kicking around. I tried the 'human pox vaccine' again, and none of those children felt it...... Ha Lu Ha, our cowpox seedlings can be planted with confidence. ”

Qiu Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard the voice, and when he saw that it was Old Man Mu, he was relieved, and listened to the old man with a smile. Listening to Old Man Mu holding twenty-three children for experiments, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, but she didn't mean anything.

Living...... Testing is not right, but in this era without any experimental conditions, it seems that there is only one way to determine whether a drug is effective. Of course, in the case of ensuring that there is no danger to life.

"Mu Bo's move has countless lives and merits!" Regardless of the process, the results are indeed worth celebrating.

The success of the vaccinia vaccine means that at least the children around her will no longer be threatened by smallpox. If Tang Wenyong operates it well, it can benefit more children, even children across the country. Relative to this result, a little bit of the process ...... It's not so unbearable.

Old man Mu rolled his eyes very unvividly, and waved his hand and said, "Don't pour rice soup with me, I'm not rare about this...... Well, I love to eat the boiled fish you make, and it's so much better for you to make me boiled fish than these vain things. ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded repeatedly: "It's easy to say boiled fish, I'll have someone chisel ice and catch two big fish for you to cook for later...... Muber, are you back this morning? Wen Yong is here, you still don't know the way, right? ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in Old Man Mu's eyes, his gaze swept away, and he said clearly: "Not only Wen Yong is back, but even Qin Kid has returned......"

Halfway through the words, Old Man Mu seemed to remember something, paused suddenly, changed his words, and said with a smile: "Didn't the girl say that she wanted to chisel ice and catch fish, I'll find two boys, the old man didn't stare at it, and I don't know when I will wait...... Let's go! ”

Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile, turned his gaze back to the indigo cotton curtain of the main house, paused, and continued to walk towards the backyard with his second brother Yang Shumeng.

The brother and sister went directly into the West House, and the second sister-in-law Zhao had already come over to serve. Looking at Zhao's already bulging lower abdomen, Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at the second elder of the Yang family and Yang Shumeng, who had never seen him, and secretly sighed in his heart, and said with a smile.

The children sweated all over their heads, washed up and had breakfast, and went to school together talking and laughing.

Qiu Chen called Qingjiang's family and instructed, "From now on, you will serve in front of the old lady...... The second sister-in-law's body is gradually getting bulky, don't let her do any more work. ”

The Qingjiang family hurriedly agreed, and said with a smile: "A sister-in-law like Madame is so considerate and considerate to her sister-in-law, but there is nowhere to find it." ”

Qingxing smiled beside her: "Madame is not only good to my uncle's wife, but also to us...... Madame is kind-hearted and thoughtful for everyone. ”

Qiu Chen glanced at Qingxing with the tea, lowered his head and drank two sips of tea, pondering, or went to the west house, and told the Liu family about letting the Qingjiang family come in and serve, and gently comforted: "Mother, the second sister-in-law's body is getting more and more stupid day by day, if it is cold today, a little water outside will become ice, and it will slip very ...... if you are not careful You see, let her be in the front yard when you eat later, run back and forth, in case you slip and fall...... Mother, filial piety is not at this time, is it? ”

Liu nodded again and again, and agreed very smoothly: "Well, what you said is reasonable." I didn't pay attention to that...... Well, it's up to you. However, I have a rain lotus in my house, and the Qingjiang family is still in charge of needlework, so I don't need to let her come over anymore, it's not that I can't move, and I can't use those many people to serve! ”

Qiu Chen didn't refute, and nodded with a smile: "Well, then I'll tell the Qingjiang family to let her come to your house every day with needlework, and talk to you more." ”

The old lady in the countryside is illiterate, and there is no TV network or any pastime in this era, and the biggest pastime is to have someone to talk to, Qiu Chen's suggestion went to Liu's heart, and he no longer objected.

After discussing with the Liu family here, there was a faint noise outside the gate.

Liu listened in some surprise, Qiu Chen smiled and said, "In the morning, Mu Bo told me that he wanted to eat fish, and he must have chiseled ice to catch fish in front of me!" …… Do you want to go and see it? I'm going to take you out of town and take a look? ”

Chiseling ice and catching fish, Liu heard his son and grandson say how lively it was, and when he heard Qiu Chen say this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Qiu Chen helped Liu get off the kang, put on cotton shoes, and took out a leather jacket and a leather hat to come out, cleaned up the old lady neatly, and put a cloak on her by Yufeng, and then followed the old lady out.

Approaching the second door, the voice outside gradually became clear.

“…… Oh, Erkui is not in the village, what can I do......"

"Alas, hurry up and send someone to the city to call Erkui back, if you don't hurry, maybe you won't even be able to catch up with his mother's breath......"

There was a lot of noise outside the door, and there was a faint sound of crying and scolding farther away...... Qiu Chen helped Liu and said in a low voice: "Mother, I don't listen to the outside, don't go out of the door first, sit in the gatehouse, I'll go out to see what's going on." ”

Liu also heard the noise and dispute outside, and knew that he couldn't help at this time, but he was a little worried about his daughter, and looked at Qiu Chen hesitantly: "Or, let your brother and your father go out, and you don't go out......

Qiu Chen took Liu's arm and helped her into the gatehouse, Wen Yan was relieved: "Mother, this is at the door of our house, they are all our people, don't be afraid, ah!" It's okay if I'm not at home, I'm at home, and it's Erkui's family, how can I leave it alone? Don't worry, I'll be careful myself......"

Comforting Liu and helping her to sit in the gatehouse, Qiu Chen tightened the cloak on her body and walked out of the gatehouse, the gentle smile on her face dissipated in a blink of an eye.

Although she has been in this world for less than two years, she has seen the unreasonable, arrogant, and unreasonable of Erkui Niang several times...... This time, she was arguing about something, and she was going to the city to shout Erkui, and she ran to her Lin door to make a noise, this is when she doesn't gasp? !

Walking to the gate, Qiu Chen paused, his eyes swept over the chaotic crowd outside the door, and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Zhao Jiu?" ”

Quan Sheng on the door hurriedly came over to report: "Madam, Steward Zhao went to the town early in the morning to buy ......"

Qiu Chen was stunned, and then knew that Zhao Jiu should have gone to buy supplies as usual.

"What's going on with all this noise?"

Menzi looked at the people on the pond embankment, and replied in a low voice: "Erkui Niang went to the mountain to pick yams a while ago, and was blocked on the mountain for more than two hours when the snow happened...... The people were found back, but they were also frozen, and after they came back, they became ill, and they were confused for two days, and the water and rice did not enter, and they all said that it was ominous, and the people in the village had come to see the fish, and when they heard this letter, they inevitably shouted louder......"

The anger on Qiu Chen's face eased, but his brows furrowed even tighter: "Didn't you invite a Lang Zhong to take a look?" ”

Quansheng looked at Qiu Chen's face, and was about to return, Lan Ying hurriedly walked out of the East Cross Courtyard, and when she saw Qiu Chen, she walked over quickly and said, "Begonia, you came back late yesterday, I thought you were very tired after a day of driving, and you didn't come over......"

"I'm fine, don't worry." Qiu Chen waved his hand, briefly answered Lan Ying's greeting, and then spoke: "What's the matter with the Dakui family?" Da Kui Niang said she was sick, why didn't she invite a Lang Zhong? ”

As soon as Lan Ying heard this, her eyebrows immediately rose, and she scolded with anger on her face: "It's all the one who has lost his conscience...... The two heavy rains in the summer, our village's autumn planting has been delayed, but fortunately, most of the people in the village have listened to your words and planted autumn vegetables and winter vegetables, although each kind of food, the income is more cost-effective than growing grain...... Da Kui Niang did not agree to plant vegetables, and stalked Da Kui's father to plant millet...... In the early autumn, the millet just tasseled, there was a frost, Da Kui's father was so anxious that he went to the field overnight, slipped into the ditch and injured his waist, and couldn't get up from the kang...... No, before winter, her family's food is not much, so Da Kui Niang goes up the mountain every day to find some mountain mushrooms, yams or something to supplement...... Which Cheng wanted to encounter snow, and almost gave his life in the mountains. Da Kui's father was so anxious that he hurriedly sent Da Kui to the town to invite Lang Zhong, Da Kui took the family's silver and went out, but went directly to the casino opened by the Wangjia Miaozi family, his mother was still waiting at home for help, but he lost all the money in the invitation Lang Zhong...... Dakui's daughter-in-law didn't even cook a meal, but shook off her hand and took the child back to her parents' house...... Da Kui's father fell in the house and couldn't move, and Da Kui Niang was burned and lay unconscious on the kang in a daze...... Alas, if it weren't for your aunt not worrying about going over and taking a look today, no one would know if she died in the house......"

Qiu Chen's eyebrows raised when he heard this, and gradually fell again...... Both members of the Erkui family are benevolent, righteous, and filial, but Erkui Niang tossed and forced people away...... Now, almost dead in the house, no one knows what to do...... Alas! She wanted to say she deserved it! But after all, it only stayed in my heart. The second kui mother is hateful, but the second kui father just does not do anything, and there is not much hatefulness...... What's more, no matter whether there is fault or not, to such a point, she really can't bear to let her watch people die like this.

Quickly turning his mind, Qiu Chen said, "Are you going to take a look?" But what are the plans? ”

Lan Ying sighed and said, "Although the uncle and aunt of the Erkui family are very confused, they can't just ignore it, right?" Anyway, I have to ask a Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat it first...... Just now I heard that your Uncle Dachuan has gone to invite the village elders in the village, and asked them to come over and preside, and arrange for someone to go to the town to invite Lang Zhong...... I also have to buy two mouthfuls of longevity materials to prepare...... It may not be useful, but it may be better if you rush it. ”

There are elderly people in the village who are seriously ill, and when seeking medical treatment is ineffective, many methods of 'rushing together' have been derived, such as marrying children and grandchildren, and using the joy of the big wedding to rejoice...... It's not a rush, but the purpose is the same.

Qiu Chen listened a little incredible, knowing that the Dao was ridiculous, but he wouldn't say anything, let alone object. After a slight pause, Qiu Chen nodded and said, "I'll go with you to have a look!" ”

Lan Ying's face showed a hint of joy, and she nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, it's best if you can go...... Alas, I know that you have a good heart and will not bother with that foolish person. ”

Qiu Chen walked with his feet up noncommittally, and said in a low voice: "It's just for the two of them!" ”

"Hey, hey, too, I'm also looking at the face of the two of them...... Alas! Lan Ying echoed in a low voice, finally turned into a low sigh, and stopped talking, followed Qiu Chen closely, and went all the way to Erkui's house.

This small farmhouse courtyard, Qiu Chen has been here once, or on the night of the day when the Erkui family separated, his memory is the desolation of Erkui and Shanzi Shiye, as well as the crying of Erkui's mother, but he has no impression of the rest of this small courtyard.

This time I walked into the courtyard again, and the adobe and fence walls that caught the eye all told of the decay and desolation of the family, and even a yellow dog in the courtyard was curled up in a corner, as if he had no strength to bark at all.

The situation of the second Kui's father and mother is not very good, as said. Erkuiniang was in a daze and unconscious, but Erkui's father understood, but his face was sallow and thin, his eyes were red, and his face was full of sorrow without a trace of tears, as if the tears had dried up.

Qiu Chen and Lan Ying stood still behind the crowd at the front of the door, and did not come forward, Liu Yugui, the village leader in the house, and four or five clan elders gathered over and were discussing a solution.

The matter was urgent, and the elders of the village clan quickly discussed a way, first sent someone to the town to invite Langzhong, and the expenses were voluntarily raised by the people in the village, Liu Yugui himself took five hundred yuan first, and Liu Dachuan, the father of the hoard, followed with three hundred yuan. Next, the village elders and the villagers who were present either took out 200 yuan or 100 yuan, and the third grandmother also took out 300 yuan.

Soon, a pile of copper coins was gathered on the square table in the room, and it was estimated that there were also three or four taels of silver.

Seeing that there was no one to join in anymore, Liu Yugui coughed lightly and said: "Daxiang (Erkui's father) is like this now, and if you invite Langzhong, you have to ask someone to serve you." Cough...... Dakui ...... I mean, send two groups of people out of the city, one to the town to invite Langzhong, and the other to the city......"

"Jade Guiye!" Qiu Chen opened his mouth lightly, and the people who were engrossed in the situation in the room noticed Qiu Chen standing behind him, and immediately someone smiled and whispered greetings. Qiu Chen nodded slightly, raised his feet, and walked into the house along the passage that the crowd automatically gave way to.

"Ahem, it's Fu'er Niang!" Liu Yugui nodded with a smile, and continued, "Fu'er Niang came just in time, and we are discussing sending someone to the city......

Qiu Chen didn't wait for him to finish, and interrupted him again: "Master Yu, I remember that the Erkui family was separated from Lu at the beginning...... Moreover, the two of them have already sold themselves to the Lin family for her mother! ”

The smile on Liu Yugui's face froze, and the expressions of several other village elders were also stunned, and they subconsciously looked at each other, and they inevitably showed some embarrassment.

After signing the deed of sale, the freedom of the net worth will belong to the main family, and they have always said that they will send someone to call the second kui, but they have never thought of consulting the second kui's main family, which is the meaning of the Lin family.

Liu Yugui was also embarrassed, but he inevitably felt that his face couldn't hold it, he said this, but was refuted by Lin Sheng's family in person...... This is too shameless for him.

Seeing that his father was a little annoyed, Liu Manyin hurriedly took a step forward, grabbed Liu Yugui's shoulder and patted it gently, and at the same time lowered his head and whispered: "Dad, the Lin family has sewn up a ......."

Liu Manyin's reminder made Liu Yugui shiver and wake up suddenly. He is accustomed to being the master of the house in Liu Jiaao, but he forgot that the Lin family is no longer the original weak outsider...... The prefect is only four grades!

It stands to reason that the common people have to salute when they see officials, but not only did he not salute, but he almost disobeyed the Lin family's lady in person...... Sanpin! If he is really annoyed, he will be punished for the following crimes...... The house was as cold as an ice cellar, but Liu Yugui instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He trembled and tried to reach out and pull out the handkerchief on his cuffs, but his hand refused to obey. Liu Manyin hurriedly helped him take out the handkerchief, used his body to block the sight of everyone in the room, wiped the sweat on Liu Yugui's face, and called in a low voice: "Dad, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Yugui exhaled softly, shook his head to signal that Liu Manyin was fine, and watched Liu Manyin straighten up and dodge away, before he raised his head again and said, "Hehe, I also want to discuss with you...... Although the two of them sold themselves to the Lin family, the father and mother were seriously ill, and they still had to let them come back to visit...... Fu'er Niang, what do you say? ”

Hearing Liu Yugui change his tone, Qiu Chen was no longer stubborn. Parents are seriously ill and children visit, this is human filial piety, and she will not really stop it if she does not object.

Nodding, Qiu Chen said, "Okay, I'll send someone to Fucheng to find Erkui back...... Here, I still have to ask Lang Zhong to be the most important ...... Well, I'll be a part of it, too! ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen touched a small silver coin from his purse, about two taels, Liu Manyin hurriedly stepped forward to take it, thanked Erkui's father and mother with a smile, and held a pile of copper coins on the square table with both hands.

The people in the room seemed to come alive all of a sudden, and they all laughed and praised Qiu Chen and the Lin family in a low and warm voice......

Qiu Chen didn't say much, he blessed the elders of the village, and went straight out of Erkui's house, and took Lan Ying back to the Lin family.
