Chapter 009: The Woman Who Worked Hard
Shen Xi kept stirring the fairy spirit grass in the pot, and finally, the pot of fairy spirit grass turned into a sticky green paste.
"Xiao Wang, you can turn off the fire." Shen Xi continued to stir.
Shen Wang is a good boy who listens to his sister for everything. She immediately stopped the bellows and extinguished the fire with ashes.
Shen Xi scooped out the fairy grass juice and poured it into a special square-shaped copper plate. The grass juice filled two large copper plates.
Making fairy grass into fairy paste is a very energy-consuming thing. Shen Xi worked hard for a whole day before he made sixty-four long, flattened pieces of green fairy spirit paste.
Shen Xi counted fifty yuan, put it in a bamboo basket, and prepared to sell it to the medicinal herb shop in the town tomorrow.
Fairy spirit ointment can be applied externally, can be taken internally, can be made into tea, can be used as medicine, is the most common medicinal material in the herb shop. And there are very few that are as delicious as she burns. She will cause a revolution in the world of medicinal herbs.
That night, Zhuang dragged his tired body back. When she saw that the children were asleep, she didn't want to wake them up, so she lay down with her clothes.
The tiredness of the day made Zhuang can't help but moan in pain. Recite. She lay on the bed, rubbing her waist with her hands, breathing heavily.
Shen Xi has always slept very shallowly. When Zhuang came in, she had already woken up.
Hearing Zhuang's painful groan, Shen Xi felt a heart-piercing pain.
She's such a strong woman. She picked up the whole family with her weak shoulders. In order to protect the child, she endured the vexatious troubles of her mother-in-law. In order to support her children, she farms and works alone.
For twenty or thirty coppers, the Zhuang family went out to wash the bowls for people all day and make miscellaneous dishes all day long.
The more Shen Xi thought about it, the more sad he became. She got up slowly, got out of bed, walked to Zhuang's bedside, and asked softly, "Mother, you're back." ”
Zhuang immediately turned around, lowered his voice, and said, "Xi'er, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" ”
Shen Xi took out the copper plate from under the bed, grabbed a piece of fairy ointment, broke it into two petals, and stuffed one of the petals into Zhuang's mouth.
Zhuang grabbed the fairy spirit ointment and said, "Xi'er, this thing is expensive, I only earn twenty-five copper a day." Eating it, it's not worth it. Let's keep it. ”
Shen Xi knew that the Zhuang family was saving, so he was relieved: "Mother, this piece of fairy spirit ointment, I accidentally broke a corner, and it will not be easy to sell it in the town tomorrow, so it is better for us to eat it ourselves." Besides, this fairy spirit grass was picked by me in the mountains. ”
Zhuang was still hesitant.
Shen Xi stuffed the fairy spirit paste into Zhuang's mouth and said, "Mother, you lie on your stomach, I'll help you rub your waist." ”
"Xi'er, go to sleep. It's okay to be a mother, I'm not tired at all. You've been getting fairy ointment for a day, and you should sleep well. When you are growing your body, your mother can't afford to buy you delicious food, how can you make you sleep badly. ”
Shen Xi said with a slight annoyance: "Mother, if you don't let me rub it, I won't sleep at night." Just staring at you by the bedside. ”
Zhuang couldn't laugh or cry, I don't know when, his eldest daughter has grown up, and her personality is as stubborn as her father. She had no choice but to compromise and lie on the bed.
Shen Xi was satisfied, and pulled all the Zhuang family's clothes up.
Zhuang didn't know why his daughter was like this, so he grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Xi'er, just press your mother's waist a little." ”
Shen Xi said in an undeniable tone: "Mother, don't move. Your lower back is sore, not just because of the pain in your lower back muscles, but because the body's meridians are blocked. As long as I use fairy ointment and rub it on your back a few times, I will ensure that it will not be sour or painful immediately. ”
Zhuang knew that the spirit ointment was a good thing, but it was not a real elixir, how could it be good to rub it. She just couldn't resist Shen Xi, so she didn't move, letting her daughter rub it.
Shen Xi has the cultivation of the middle of the day after tomorrow, and he has a little internal strength. She put the fairy spirit paste in the palm of her hand and rubbed it vigorously until her palm was hot, and then put her hand on Zhuang's back.
Following the direction of the meridians, Shen Xi rubbed back and forth until the fairy spirit cream was completely absorbed by Zhuang's skin.
"Alright." Shen Xi pulled Zhuang's clothes well.
Zhuang fell asleep like this.
Shen Xi was a little surprised, but more often sad. Zhuang is a strong and good mother.
Shen Xi didn't want to experience the sadness of "the son wants to raise but the parent is not there". She just wants to be filial to this mother.
Reborn in such a poor family, Shen Xi had no complaints, and even some luck, at least there was no suspicion between his dear family members.
Shen Xi herself is satisfied with a simple life, but she can't look at her family and endure freezing and starving. Thinking of his younger brother Shen Ping's gluttonous appearance, Shen Xi's belief became even firmer.
Be sure to let them all have a good life.
That night, Shen Xi fell asleep in thought.
The next day, before dawn, Shen Xi couldn't wait to get up and make breakfast. She had to share the household chores for the Zhuang family.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wang heard the movement, rubbed his sleepy eyes, came out of the room, looked at Shen Xi, and asked in a daze: "Sister, why did you get up so early, and the chickens haven't crowed yet." ”
Shen Xi pushed Shen Wang back into the room and said, "Today, my sister will make breakfast, and you can sleep for a while." ”
Shen Wang was still a child, and when he was pushed by his sister, he went back to bed and went to sleep. She was really an obedient child.
It didn't take long for Shen Xi to cook a pot of polenta. She took some sauerkraut from the jar and casually passed away her breakfast.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Xi woke up Zhuang.
The fairy spirit ointment has the effect of concentrating, and the Zhuang family was tired yesterday, if Shen Xi didn't call her, she was afraid that she would have to sleep until noon.
When Zhuang woke up, he was shocked, thinking that he had woken up late. As soon as she saw that it was still before dawn, she was a little relieved. "Xi'er, why are you up early?" Zhuang got out of bed.
Shen Xi said: "I want to go to the town, I have to be early." Otherwise, Wang Yu's ox cart will be gone. ”
"Yes." Zhuang patted his head, "Look at my memory." She took out twenty coppers from her purse, handed them to Shen Xi, and said, "Five coppers for one trip, and ten coppers for each trip." There are also ten coppers, and you can go out into the street and see if there is anything you like to eat, and buy some. ”
"Hmm." Shen Xi did not shirk and took the copper. The fairy spirit paste has not been sold yet, and it is true that there is not a single copper on the body, which is very inconvenient.
Shen Xi picked up his things, said goodbye to the Zhuang family, and went to the entrance of the village.
The only ox cart in Shenwang Village was owned by the village chief's nephew, Wang Tao. It's not that there are no cattle in the village, but that the village chief doesn't allow others to pull people, and only allows his nephew to park the ox cart at the entrance of the village.
Power is available everywhere, including in the backwoods.
Wang Liu's ox cart stopped steadily. And he had a lively conversation with a young daughter-in-law in the village.
Shen Xi knew that she couldn't talk casually at this time, so she just held her baby bamboo basket and sat quietly in the small corner of the ox cart.
