Early the next morning, after breakfast, Ling'er cleaned up the house with her mother, waited for the dew in the courtyard to dry, and helped her father to rest in the courtyard with her mother. I don't know if it's because I'm in a good mood, my dad couldn't get out of bed two days ago, but when he woke up this morning, he looked very good, and he had already been clamoring for the two to help him go to the hospital!

In order to prevent my father from weaving bamboo goods again, Ling'er took the initiative to find some energetic work to do, such as chopping wood, moving things, weaving fences, etc.! Ling'er didn't have a hard time doing this, because as long as she was full, she had strength, but the skills and methods were very lacking, which happened to become her father's job.

Daddy watched from the sidelines and pointed from time to time, such as the chopping wood, not just by brute force, you have to use a little skill, choose a good angle, an axe down, the firewood is just split, and it will not fly everywhere; There are more other tricks, one of the father and daughter teaches seriously, the other learns seriously, and sometimes they have to be trained if they do too badly!

The old lady came out to see her, and reminded with a smile: "Old man, Ling'er is only seven years old, she is our daughter, don't think that you can be a son with a little strength!" ”

Daddy's neck: "What about the girl?" One girl in our family is stronger than ten sons! You see, such a thick firewood, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy can't even split it, and my daughter will solve it with an axe! Hmph, I think if there is a competition, even the strong young men in the village may not be able to compare! ”

Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, looked outside, and lowered her voice: "Dad, mother, be quiet, you can't say this, you can't say it!" ”

The old lady quickly covered her mouth, and then pleaded guilty to the back mountain. Dad was a little stupid, it could be seen that he really wanted to have a son, and now he was naturally happy to see that his daughter was better than his son, and he couldn't wait to spread it all over the world. But now he couldn't say anything, he naturally felt aggrieved, but this mood was quickly overshadowed by the joy brought by Ling'er's outstanding performance.

Since the old couple knew that Ling'er was stronger than ordinary people, and was smart and studious and understood as soon as she learned, they became more and more at ease with her, and no longer controlled her and nagged her, and sometimes occasionally asked her opinions.

So Ling'er is relieved, her father and mother finally stop teaching and caring for herself as a stupid girl, and now she should be a little adult in their eyes, right? Hehe, they will soon find out that this little adult is better than the real adult, and they are adults in the first place!

Only one pack of medicine was used in the pharmacy, and Ling'er asked her father to stop the medicine for two days, and began to boil half a pack of Xu Banxian's medicine bag to try it, and after eating it for a day, there was no accident, she used more than half a pack, and then a whole pack.

The result made Ling'er and the old lady very happy, Xu Banxian's medicine bag was fine, and the father himself said that the pain on his body seemed to disappear faster after taking this medicine!

The old lady took advantage of her father's rest to pull Ling'er aside, secretly stuffed her with 200 yuan, and whispered: "Ling'er, since the doctor's herbs work, you can go to him to buy medicine now, and you can buy as much money as you want!" ”

Ling'er was surprised: "Mother, so much money, all changed into medicine, we don't have much money to spend the winter, winter clothes, quilts and food haven't been settled yet, besides, the doctor lives in the broken temple at the entrance of the town, why don't you go to him to buy it when you want it?" If you take it back and put it for a long time, you can't use it when it's wet! ”

"Silly girl, the doctors who walk the streets and alleys to sell medicine and see a doctor, they have no fixed place, maybe they will leave when they want! If you can't find anyone next time, you have to go to the pharmacy to dispense medicine, these two hundred wen are only enough to buy ten pairs, and they will be gone just after winter!

Listen to mother, go quickly! Carry a basket, put the medicine bag underneath, cover it with oiled paper, and put some wild vegetables on top to cover it, if the villagers ask, you will say that you are going to dig wild vegetables, ah! ......" the old lady was busy loading things into the basket, muttering muttering.

Ling'er nodded in response, thinking that she hadn't been to town for almost ten days, so she should go and see it! These days, the sun is still bright at noon, but it starts to fog in the morning and evening, and it's quite cool, and I don't know if the old man can stand it?

"Mother, I see that the doctor is fifty or sixty years old and still lonely, he doesn't even have a place to live, and his clothes are thin and full of patches! Don't we still have some old clothes sent by uncles and aunts in our family? Why don't I bring him two? ”

The old lady thought for a while: "Okay, you wait, I'll find two thicker ones!" ”

The old lady is rummaging through a pile of clothes, in fact, these clothes have long been worn, each piece is washed white and full of patches, which one is the same, but the old lady still seems to be a little distressed! Despite this, the old lady still picked out two sets of relatively good clothes and wrapped them in the back basket, and told Ling'er again before sending her out.

Ling'er carried the basket on her back and entered the village happily, greeted people politely when she saw them, and everyone responded enthusiastically, all of them looked full of joy, just like the New Year! Even Yan Erniang, who usually ignores herself, greeted Ling'er while knocking melon seeds:

"Hey, isn't this the stupid girl of the old Yang Tou'er's family? Tsk, look, look, this girl really looks like a good girl when she takes care of her, how is it like the fool who drooled and asked for food everywhere before? ”

Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, bowed and wanted to run away, but Yan Erniang said again: "Hey, silly girl, don't go!" Come, come here, come over and talk to the second aunt! ”

"No, second aunt, my mother asked me to dig wild vegetables, and I have to dig a basket before dark to go home!"

"Huh? Digging wild vegetables, do you recognize which ones are wild plants? Don't dig some thatch, and the cows won't eat it when you come back! ”

Ling'er's eyelids jumped, this Yan Erniang, if you want to find something, can't you? She said with a straight face: "Second aunt, Ling'er is not a stupid girl, she is a normal person, my mother has already taught Ling'er to recognize wild vegetables, and those who dig it up will definitely be able to eat it, so you don't have to worry about it!" ”

Yan Erniang was stunned for a moment, she didn't react for a while, Ling'er turned her head, walked away with her head held high, and an alley was almost over, only to hear Yan Erniang shout loudly: "Yo, a stupid girl with a foreign surname, she actually dares to her tail in front of the old lady, the old lady ......"

Ling'er didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked on her own, and a woman next to her stretched out her hand to look at the other side of the alley, and pulled Ling'er aside: "Ling'er, did you provoke that Yan Erniang?" ”

Ling'er glanced at her, this woman's maiden name is Zeng, his man is the eldest, although he is in contact with his own family, he is not a bad person, Ling'er smiled and said: "Aunt Zeng is good, I didn't provoke her, I just said that Ling'er will not treat thatch as a wild vegetable!" ”

Aunt Zeng looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "Oh, you stupid girl, talk to her less in the future, she has a broken mouth, loves to gossip the most, and is good with the daughter-in-law outside the king, people are worried that they have no chance to teach you a lesson!" ”

Ling'er blinked, no wonder Yan Erniang had nothing to do, it turned out to be for this! Oh, Wang Feng's last time suffered a loss, he lost face and lost money, he must be very unhappy, he knew afterwards that the root cause of this matter was originally on himself, and he must have hated himself to death! Ling'er suddenly remembered the matter of the cotton clothes and quilts and food, and asked, "Aunt Zeng, have the cotton clothes and quilts and grain that the staff said have been distributed?" ”

Aunt Zeng nodded: "A quilt and a load of grain were issued, and the others were still being prepared, and they were only sent in early October, silly girl, didn't you get it?" ”
