Chapter 52, the whole family is busy and wants to buy a lock to take care of the home

After sending off the three aunts, Situ Yan called back Li Dalang and a few people, seeing that several people were tired and sweating, she boiled some water for a few people to drink first, and then told the four of them about her plans in detail.

"Big brother, there are still one or two silver coins at home, although it cost a lot to build a house and make a banquet, but the medicine I picked before was sold at a higher price, so there is still a left," Before Situ Yan could finish speaking, Li Erlang jumped from the edge of the kang to the ground as if frightened.

"Little Wu, didn't all the money spent on selling medicine? The wages for Zhang, as well as the wages for making doors and windows, plus the wages for making banquets and buying sacrifices, why are there so many? "Li Erlang is really puzzled at this time, and Li Dalang doesn't understand a few of them, but they can hold back their words, not as frivolous as Erlang.

"Second brother, you sit down first and listen to me finish speaking." Situ Yan motioned for the second brother to sit down first, and then continued, "When I was collecting medicine before, I got ginseng, but it was a light year and I didn't get much money, but it was enough for us to treat us to a banquet." It's just that this herb has a season, and I'm afraid that I won't have to pick it for a few more days, and when it snows, I can't find it if I want to dig it. I just wanted to find some more livelihood for my family. And they have to tidy up the land in the backyard, and when the spring is good to grow grain and vegetables, these are all pointing to the help of the brothers? ”

When a few people heard that Xiaomei also dug up ginseng, they were also secretly happy, knowing that there was still money left at home, they felt a lot more down-to-earth, and they heard Xiaomei say that they wanted them to help, and several people were full of enthusiasm and nodded in response.

"Since several brothers are not opposed, then from now on, our family gets up every day on weekdays, eats breakfast at the end of the day, and the meals at home are made by me, when I prepare breakfast, my brothers are boxing in the yard, I have learned a set of boxing with my brother before, and now I have to teach my brothers to be empty, and it is good to defend myself."

A few people listened to it at once, the little sister can not only sew, cook, know herbs, but now can also box, the little sister is only six years old, and she knows more things than the four of them combined, and her heart is both happy and a little empty.

Situ Yan thought that in the future, several people would have to live together, and it was not a matter to hide it like this, rather than letting them find out, it was better to explain it clearly. And these people are too weak, if she is forced to leave in the future, they can't even protect themselves, and she can't bear it. And she only set up the house rules last night, and several people also know that she is low-key, and she is not afraid of being listened to, so she only talked about her own affairs irrelevant without this concern, which can be regarded as warming up the four of them in advance, after all, sooner or later, one day, the four of them will know her identity, don't scare people stupidly or get angry then.

"After breakfast, the eldest brother and the second brother went into the mountains to cut the grass and collect firewood, and took advantage of the snow to collect more firewood, and took it to the county school to exchange waste paper when they rushed to the market. The third and fourth brothers picked up stones in the yard at noon, picked out some of the flat ones and put them in the front yard, which were used to pave the road later, and the rest were piled up at the root of the fence and used as the courtyard wall. At noon, I had lunch, and when it was evening, the fourth brother and I went to dig wild vegetables and pick herbs; The third brother picked up dead leaves and dug the mountain soil, and when the third brother dug them back, they were piled up on the edge of the manure pit, so that the eldest brother and the second brother could sprinkle them into the pit and have something to use when they applied wax fertilizer; The eldest brother and the second brother stayed in the courtyard and turned over the ground that the third and fourth brothers had picked up, and when they got empty, they picked up stones. I have already put all the farm tools in the utility room, and I asked Uncle Muramasa to help me buy them a few days ago. Eat dinner at the beginning of the unitary period, then read and write for an hour, and then wash and sleep. These days are arranged like this, and when I catch up with the first day of the big set, I will teach my eldest brother to learn to make Xiwang cakes, and now is not the time. Do you have any opinions on arranging this way? ”

"Xiao Wu, you have to prepare for the market again, and you have to cook, or you don't go into the mountains, these days have made you tired and thin." Li Dalang listened to Xiaomei's arrangement, and was surprised and happy, but more distressed. They don't do much work, but the little sister is still young, but she has to follow them to suffer like this, and it feels uncomfortable to think about it. At this time, Li Dalang didn't realize that the farm tools Situ Yan was referring to were not just pickaxes and shovels, but a full set of farm tools. When Li Dalang learned about it later, he was so happy that he didn't sleep well for several days, for farmers, the farm tools were as important as their own sons.

"Big brother, I know in my heart, I'm afraid it won't be a few days before I enter the mountain, and when it snows, I won't go. If you can dig up more herbs, you can get more money at home, right? That's how it was decided. It's just that brothers, you have to remember to rest when you work, making money is to make your life better, not to grab medicine and eat after you are tired and sick, so it's better not to do it to worry. ”

A few people said they would pay attention, so they went to get busy. Seeing the four of them leaving, Situ Yan entered the utility room and put the farm tools in the ring: hoe (for cultivator), rake, rake, feng (for shallow ploughing and moisture protection), hand mixing chop (for small hand hoes in vegetable gardens), wheat samarium (long-handled two-edged sickle), wheat scythe, wheat cage, axe, etc., all of which were purchased by himself when he was on the road with the dart bureau before. Looking at the empty utility room, there are things piled up at this time, and my heart is also very happy.

With these farming tools, farming shouldn't be a problem. Out of the utility room, Situ Yan panicked for no reason, and always felt that something was overlooked. After turning around in several rooms, she patted her forehead and found that there were more and more things at home, but there was not even a lock.

I have to go to the village to do this, only the village is the village and Li Daniu's family in this village who sent the child to the county school, and they have to go to the city every day, and they can help her do it by the way.

When Da Lang and Erlang came back, they told them about the matter, and asked them to take care of the house first, so she had time to go to the village house.

As soon as she got out of the courtyard, she saw a figure flashing by the outer wall, Situ Yan was secretly shocked in her heart, it seemed that she was right, someone was really eyeing their family. It's also her fault for this, these days have been too stable, and even the basic courses of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance have been forgotten in her bones. The dangerous cells lurking in his body were all activated in an instant, and he became interested in this person. "I don't know which one doesn't open his eyes, he wants to find bad luck for himself, and he can only blame himself for his bad luck when he targets her."

With a plan in her heart, Situ Yan was not in a hurry, thinking that Da Lang and Erlang were at home at this time, even if this person wanted to do something, she would not choose to make a move at this time, so she went straight to Mura Zheng's house with confidence.

There was no one in the courtyard of the village house, Situ Yan knocked on the door, and when she saw that no one came, she shouted twice, "Is Aunt Fu at home?" I'm a little five. ”

Listening to Aunt Fu'er's voice coming out of the east wing, "Little Wu, wait a while, my aunt will come." ”

After a while, I saw Aunt Fu open the east door and walk out, her face was flushed with the flush she had just woken up, and her hair was a little messy, and she could see that she was resting just now. Situ Yan was a little reluctant to go, she didn't come at the right time.

Seeing that Aunt Fu opened the courtyard door for her, she pulled her coat (sleeve) apologetically, "It's not the right time for me to come here, and I'm arguing for my aunt to rest." ”

"It's nothing, I'm also an old problem, there are a few days of stomach cramping pain every month, and the legs are not strong, which is the root of the disease that fell when the son was born Guisheng." Situ Yan knew the taste of menstrual cramps, and she also had this problem in her previous life, so she took advantage of Aunt Fufu's time to secretly give her a pulse.

Aunt Fu's pulse belongs to the chong pulse, against the qi and urgency, weak qi and blood, is secondary dysmenorrhea, needs to nourish qi and replenish blood, if attached to the needle guilt effect is better, but at the moment she doesn't want others to know that she understands medicine, so she has to send some medicinal materials to replenish qi and blood, motherwort is the best.

With a plan in his heart, he helped Aunt Fu back to the east wing and let her lie back on the kang, "Aunt Fu, lie back and rest, I didn't treat myself as an outsider when I came to you, you just have to rest." ”

"Nacheng, my aunt doesn't talk to you, and you don't sit so far, just sit on the kang with your aunt and talk."

Situ Yan was no longer polite, and sat on the edge of the kang to say what he meant. "This thing is easy to do, your village uncle went into the city with the old man today, and he hasn't come back yet, when he comes back, I will tell him that when he goes to pick up the little sheep from school in the evening, he will bring it back to you."

"Then I thanked my uncle and aunt first, this is a great help to me, how much is this lock, this is one or two silver coins, I don't know if it is enough to buy five locks, you take it first, and if it is not enough, I will give it to my aunt when I come to pick up the lock at night." Situ Yan hasn't seen this ancient lock yet, and she doesn't know how to sell it.

"Girl, what do you want those locks for, one is enough." Aunt Fu felt funny in her heart, the girl's house was empty and there was nothing to be afraid of losing, not to mention the waste of buying those locks, and it was useless.

"Auntie still buys it for me, right? This house is locked, I can rest assured when I go out, I just saw someone wandering outside the yard at home, although I didn't see the appearance clearly, but my heart is still not steady. ”

"What, someone is targeting this, so what can I do? Who is this targeting? Why don't you wait for your village uncle to come back, I will talk to him and let him run to you a little more often, so that what happened to you scared you? ”

"No, auntie, there is a big brother at home, I'm just afraid that one day there will be no one at home, although the things are not worth a few dollars, but people will still feel distressed if they go along, it is better to prevent it tightly, and then I will save myself from fighting with others."

Aunt Fu thought that it was also the reason, so she stopped persuading, this family is full of half-grown children, which makes people worry about it sooner or later, she will also go a little more diligently in the future, and help to take a look. The two chatted for a while, and saw that it was almost noon, and Situ Yan had to go home to cook, so they said goodbye and went back.

When she got home, Situ Yan deliberately walked around the yard, and found no suspicious places and people, so she entered the yard and saw Da Lang squatting in the yard fiddling with farm tools, but she didn't see Erlang.

Li Dalang felt that someone had entered the yard, so he looked up and saw that it was the little sister who was busy pulling her to see those farm tools, "Xiao Wu, where did you get all these things, but they are all new, this costs a lot of money, some of them didn't even have a milk family before, and they all borrowed from people in the village or rented from the officials." Li Dalang heard the little sister say that there were farm tools in the utility room in the morning, which happened to be at home, so I went to look at it, I didn't think there would be so much, I was so scared that he sat on the ground when he first saw it, and he was still shocked until this moment and was not awake!

"Big brother, didn't I say it, I dug up the root ginseng before, and I bought it with the silver money exchanged for it, otherwise, there would be less than one or two silver dollars left in the family."

"That mountain ginseng is so valuable, then let's go into the mountain and dig more." Li Dalang heard Xiaomei say this, and his brain turned around, but he still had Maoleng, and when he heard Xiaomei say that mountain ginseng was valuable, he wanted to dig more.

"Big brother, if that mountain ginseng is so easy to find, and there are no poor people in this village, it is all hard to find. As long as the eldest brother doesn't blame me for spending money indiscriminately, I will be relieved. ”

"If I, the eldest brother, have the ability, I would rather Xiao Wu spend everywhere, but I can't bear it, so that Xiao Wu will suffer." Li Dalang knows that this little sister is sensible, not to mention spending money indiscriminately, even a skirt shirt is reluctant to buy it for herself.

"Big brother, you're here again, I don't listen, I'm going to cook." Situ Yan ignored Da Lang and went to the stove room to start preparing food.

Li Dalang knew that the little sister didn't like to listen to this, so he didn't say anything, so he looked at the farm tools again, and then carefully put them back, leaving only the hoe and going to the backyard to work with Erlang.

Situ Yan listened to Da Lang go to the backyard, and knew that Erlang must also be in the backyard, listening to the sound in the front yard, so he opened the rice jar and the noodle jar and took a look, and saw that they had already bottomed out, and took out ten catties of black noodles and ten catties of Shu millet (sorghum rice) from the ring, and looked at the seasoning again and saw that it was enough, so he didn't take it out again.

Eat eggs and salt every day, and drink water boiled with jujube and wolfberry every day.

Just after the beginning of the afternoon, San Lang and Shiro also came back, and I don't know how many times he ran twice, and as soon as he came back, he entered the stove room, holding the warm water on the stove, and drank two large bowls of water in the water bowl before pouring out the empty talk, "The third brother and the fourth brother should not be so tired in the future, just rest after a run, the sweat at this end will catch a cold again." ”

"It's okay, I'm hot, I can't get used to wearing this cotton clothes." Shiro talked back as he made do with the stove.

"Don't come close, fourth brother, you're all dusty, go out and dust first." Situ Yan pushed Shiro out of the stove room, and then continued to cook.

"Little Wu, when the mountain baby and the dog saw me today, they both praised me for speaking neatly. If it weren't for Xiao Wu, I'd still be a stump, thank you! San Lang knew that the little sister loved to be clean, so he didn't move forward and stood at the door to talk to the little sister.

"That's good, no one will talk about the third brother in the future, the third brother has to be happier." Situ Yan turned around and smiled at San Lang, then turned around and continued to cook.

San Lang was a little embarrassed by the little sister's smile, and muttered a few words, but Situ Yan didn't hear it clearly, so he didn't pay much attention to San Lang when he saw him turn around and run out. In fact, San Lang didn't say anything, but just imprinted the good of the little sister in his heart, thinking that he would let the little sister live a good life in the future.
