Chapter 246: The son-in-law comes to the door
Cao Afu originally thought that Jiang Baosheng and his entourage would spend the night, and it would be heaven to be able to give ten cents, but he didn't expect that there would be so much. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"W-How embarrassing is this!" Cao Afu refused in his mouth, but the movements in his hands were very neat, and he took the money and put it directly in his pocket.
It's not that Cao Afu is shallow-eyed, and he sees the money, it's really not easy for Hu Tuzhou to make money, his family's cash doesn't add up to so much, why can't he help but take it when he sees so much money.
Cao Afu realized that he was acting inappropriately after carrying out the money, and this was still in front of outsiders and juniors, and his old face suddenly turned red, but fortunately, he couldn't even see it in the dark.
The loyal and honest Cao Afu really wanted to accept the money, but he accepted it all, and he felt embarrassed. So when he heard that Jiang Baosheng and his entourage wanted to go to Wangjiadu to find someone, he volunteered to be a guide.
Cao Afu is worthy of being an old resident who has lived in Hu Tuzhou for many years, and soon led them to another Wangjiadu. When Jiang Baosheng learned from Cao Afu that this was a place where military families gathered, his spirits were immediately lifted.
As soon as he entered the village, he didn't have to wait for Jiang Bao to ask someone to ask, a mud monkey who couldn't see his face clearly came out of nowhere, and looked curiously around Jiang Baosheng and his party.
"Children, are there any military households surnamed Song in your village?" Jiang Baosheng asked impatiently.
"The surname Song?" A little monkey tilted his head and blinked his black and white eyes.
There's a play!
Jiang Baosheng spoke an official dialect with a Youzhou accent, which ordinary Hu Tuzhou villagers couldn't understand, for example, when he communicated with Cao Afu, he had to repeat it many times and gesturing to barely know what the other party was saying. This little monkey not only understood, but the sentence he just asked also had an obvious Jinghai accent, which was very likely to be the Song family he was looking for.
"Yes, they came from Gaodian Village four years ago......"
Without waiting for Jiang Baosheng to say in detail, the little monkey swooped out, and shouted as he ran: "Brother Zhiyan, Brother Zhiyan, there are guests here again!" You are saved, and you don't have to be beaten. ”
Soon, the adults of the Song family heard that a guest was coming to look for him, and he hurriedly greeted him. When they learned that it was the new aunt, they hurriedly invited Jiang Baosheng and his party home.
When Jiang Baosheng finally arrived at the Song family, which was located by the river, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Jiang Baosheng's hometown, Jiangjiatan, is a notoriously poor village, and many villagers don't even have a piece of land on land, and spend their lives on boats. Therefore, he was not too surprised when he saw the dry boats scattered on both sides of the river bank in the Cao family's area last night, because this was not Hu Tuzhou's originality, they also had Jiangjiatan. But no matter how poor he is, he has never seen a house like this Wangjiadu, where everyone is nested in the basement.
The so-called basement is to dig a hole in the shallow slope of the riverbank, erect the tied bamboo raft at the mouth of the hole, and then coat the outside of the bamboo raft with yellow mud to become a "dam", and the inside becomes a place to stay.
Standing in front of the Song family's basement, Jiang Baosheng, the hairy-footed son-in-law who came to the door for the first time, looked confused, how could this thing get in?
Originally, in order to prevent the river from pouring into the basement, the yellow mud wall of the bamboo raft was built very high, and a small opening was left on it for entry and exit. If you want to get into the basement, you have to climb in.
When Jiang Baosheng arched his body and crawled in, he didn't feel aggrieved or ridiculous, he only had one thought in his heart: I climbed into my father-in-law's house!
Finally climbed in, Jiang Baosheng found that there was a hole in the basement of the Song family, and he didn't want to be as small as it looked from the outside, and there were actually three basements inside. However, no matter how large the basement is, it is enough to accommodate ten people, and if there are four more of them, it will immediately become head to head and foot to foot.
Jiang Baosheng hurriedly took out two packs of dim sum from the various gifts he brought as a thank you gift to Cao Afu, and politely said goodbye to him.
Cao Afu looked at the two well-packaged dim sum in his hand, knowing that this was a high-quality pastry that could only be bought in the county, and he loved it so much. But he gritted his teeth and stuffed the snack back into Jiang Baosheng's hand.
Cao Afu excused himself: "You have given my family fifty yuan, but now you are just leading the way, and the Communist Party has not traveled a few miles, I can't ask for this snack." ”
Jiang Baosheng was embarrassed to let the white-collar family, so he persuaded Cao Afu to accept it.
Old Man Song listened for a long time and learned that thanks to Cao Afu, his son-in-law could be found smoothly, so he also opened his mouth to persuade Cao Afu to accept the thank you gift.
Cao Afu saw that the old man Song also opened his mouth to persuade, and hurriedly said: "Then, what, your family is the Song family with immortal medicine, right?" I really can't ask for this snack. If you really want to thank me, can you, can you give me some elixir? ”
Jiang Baosheng was stunned: What? My father-in-law's family actually has an elixir? Really?
Actually, the Song family really has medicine, but it's not an immortal medicine, it's the yellow artemisia powder brought by Jiang Helianzi last time.
The letter from Jiang Helianzi made it very clear that this yellow artemisia powder was used to treat malaria, and it also said that it had miraculous effects.
It's just that malaria is a well-known and stubborn disease, and it has never been heard of as a guaranteed cure for it. Regarding what Jiang Helianzi said in the letter, the Song family felt unbelievable. Besides, since it is a miracle medicine, it must be very precious and scarce. But Jiang Helianzi sent a full twenty catties in one go, and the posture was like sending a cart of cabbage over, which couldn't help but make people feel that this medicine was very sparse and ordinary. Therefore, the Song family didn't take the yellow artemisia powder seriously at first, but only thanked the ginger lotus seeds for sending them all the way, so they put it away.
Who knew that within a few days, the sons and daughters of Song Yunzhi, the younger sister of the Song family, started to swing one after another. After taking the medicine prescribed by You Fanglang in the vicinity, the two children not only did not get better, but burned even more, which made Mrs. Song busy asking the eldest brother of the Song family to go to the county town to invite a doctor to take a look. After seeing the doctor, the doctor in the city said that it was malaria and that he could prescribe medicine, but he didn't dare to pack a ticket if it could be cured, so he had to resign himself to fate.
After taking the medicine again, the two children still did not get better. Seeing that it was not going to work, Song Yunzhi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and washed the yellow artemisia powder with warm water for the two children to drink.
This is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the two children retired, and after two days in bed, they were completely cured.
The villagers in the neighborhood heard that the two babies of the Song family had malaria, and even the doctors in the city couldn't see it. But within two days, the two children who were said to be dead actually ran out to play again, jumping around, and there was no sign of illness at all.
This time, the area of Wangjiadu was fried, and the villagers stepped on the door of the Song family one after another to inquire about what was going on.
Hearing that it was the medicine powder brought by the relatives of the Song family from Youzhou that cured the malaria of the two children, everyone asked the Song family for medicine.
