Since Chen Qi'an's illness has recovered, he naturally wants to express his gratitude to Imperial Doctor Zhu.

Chen Xuejiao suddenly thought of the two teenagers who came to the house last year, one is named Gu Siyuan and the other is Huang Sanlang, a family of famous doctors in Taiyi Zhu, if it wasn't for the two sons who met last year, how could they come to the village to see Chen Qi'an. From Xuzhou Mansion to Maoshan Village, after walking the official road, I have to climb several mountains in the middle of the mountain road, riding a horse all the way to sweat all the way, and I didn't drink a sip of the sick tea after reading it.

"People like the Zhu family don't lack anything, I really don't know what to give." Li frowned and discussed with Xue Jiao and Xue Ru.

After thinking about it, it's really not easy to give, they are a family of famous doctors, and there is no shortage around them, but they can't help but give it, so they have put a lot of thought into this gift.

In the end, Xue Jiao came up with an idea: "I think it's the doctor's parents' heart, they don't necessarily care about this idea, it's our intention to send it." I see that the doctor often visits the doctor, so why not make two pairs of sturdy cloth shoes and send them. ”

Li cut the cloth and asked Jinghao to help make two pairs of new shoes with a thousand layers of soles for Dr. Zhu, which took a lot of effort to make, and it took a lot of effort to thread the needles with various silk threads.

In the end, he dragged the shopkeeper Han and sent him over.

Chen Qi'an was sick for a few days, when he was sick, it was still when the willow branches were first sprouting, and when the illness was completely cured and he re-entered the school, the catkins had already begun to scatter and fly.

Chen Xiucai said in the letter that he began to return to his hometown when the catkins were flying, and he still didn't see him return home when the catkins flew away like cotton threads. Many of the people who followed the same boat had already returned home, and Li and Chen Xuejiao, mother and son, went to the town to inquire, and it turned out that after the tea seller in Qingming was finished, Chen Xiucai got the capital to stay in Jiangnan to sell silk.

Li was worried about Chen Xiucai. Naturally, my heart became worried. She is a woman who has never seen the world, and she also knows that it is so easy to sell silk, and the better embroidery and spinning shops have a way, basically they are protected by officials and businessmen, where is you a foreigner inserted in. Chen Xiucai is soft-skinned, although he followed the horse seller team to the north and south and saw the world when he was young, but the twists and turns in business are what he can resist as a scholar.

Chen Xiucai asked someone he knew to hand Li twenty taels of silver. He got it by selling tea, and he earned a total of fifty taels, and the remaining thirty taels were used as capital to sell silk. The Li family secretly calculated that thirty taels was enough for the family to live in the countryside for three or four years.

Chen Xuejiao followed the Li family, knowing that her mother was worried about her father again. She thought differently, since Chen Xiucai was willing to sell silk, she must have seen the benefits from selling tea, and knew that doing business was more profitable than sitting in a restaurant or farming at home. Chen Xiucai is not such a high scholar, he is just like this at his age. It is even more hopeless to go up to the imperial examination, it is better to think about making money and cultivating two sons to have hope. Besides, in any dynasty, the family must have a lot of silver to support the imperial examination, otherwise it can only be nonsense.

"Mother, dad has his own father's idea, and he will come back as soon as the summer comes. Last time Zipin was sick. Many families came to visit, and now he is well. Dad came over with another bag of silver, and I wondered if we should buy something and go for a walk. Chen Xuejiao took the silver from Li's hand and said it in her mouth.

"You've thought it through." Li Shi put down his thoughts just now and praised it. In the days when Chen Qiping was sick, Wen Ying, the Han family, the Zhao family, the Huang family, the Li family, and the Cai family all came to visit the patient, and these were good. Li remembered in his heart, and now that he has the silver in his hand, the first thing he does is to go to each house to return the gift.

Chen Xuejiao hasn't been on the street for a long time, and there are no big rules in Xuzhou Mansion, and girls are not allowed to go out. The weather is warm, and the market is a little more lively than before. Chen Xuejiao is like a loose young man coming out of the cage, walking around the market.

When Li was young, her family did a small business, although she was illiterate, but she could feel the abacus, and before leaving the cabinet, she followed Mr. Li to the town to sell dry goods and buy fat powder. Since marrying into the Chen family, he has rarely been to the town, and today he took the opportunity to have a good visit with Xue Jiao.

"Mother, I want to eat fried dumplings, let's go eat a bowl." Chen Xuejiao pulled Li's sleeve and said with a smile.

Walking all the way, I walked to the fried dumpling shop with flags, saw that there was chicken and beef hanging on the sign, pointed and walked in, found a clean chair, sat down, asked for a bowl of chicken and a bowl of beef, and the two sat down and ate.

After eating, the mother and mother went to the market to buy gifts. I bought all kinds of fruits from Xiangfu Building, and pulled a few feet of cloth, and saw that the sun was close to noon, so I went home.

The next day, Li personally went to Zhao Yiming's house. Zhao Yiming's father has been sick for two years, and he has been looking for doctors and medicines every day, and the whole family has been hollowed out. Zhao Yiming's mother Xu is a warm-hearted woman, when Chen Qiping was sick, she collapsed a basket of eggs and two catties of sugar to visit in person. In the situation of their family, a penny is eager to be broken into several halves, and a basket of eggs does not know how long it will take, and the Li family has a sense of gratitude in his heart, and he has to come to the Zhao family in person to send a thank you gift.

Zhao Yiming reads well, looks clear and beautiful, and he doesn't think Chen Qiping is young in school, and often takes him to read and write. When the family is busy, he often goes to Chen's house to help, and a few days ago he was busy with spring wheat irrigation, and he was busy with it, doing more than an adult. Li felt sorry for Zhao Yiming in his heart, usually he made delicious food at home, and he would let Qi Ping bring it into the school to give him a copy, and he usually made shoes and socks for him, for this, the relationship between the two families is getting closer and closer.

In addition to the Fu orange cake, croissant honey, honey three knives, and rose cake bought from Xiangfulou, Li also personally fried crispy lotus root clips and stewed a chicken and brought it over.

When he arrived at Zhao's house, Xu Ying came out, his eyes were red, his hair was scattered, and when he saw Li's reluctantly smiling, he poured tea and water and put fruits. Li was surprised in her heart, how did Xu, who had always been refreshing and clear, change her appearance today, and she couldn't ask, so she only took the tea and lowered her head to drink.

The tea is a large-leaf tea, and the thick stalks are flying, and the throat and eyes are astringent when you swallow it.

The Zhao family was cooking in the next room, and the Li family took a look at it, and there was a jar of cold water in the small room, and the stove was empty. Half a load of firewood was placed on the side of the pot, the dishes and pots were cleanly washed, there was no oil at all, there was a dry pancake on the table on the plate, and the whole room was filled with a smell of medicine.

"I haven't been here for a few days, so I'm here to see my sister today. His uncle's illness must have healed. Lee picked up a basket of food from the ground and placed it on the table.

Xu's eyes were wet, her husband had been sick for two years, and there was no one in the Zhao family who came out to see it, but the two outsiders with unrelated surnames often came to take a look. It's just that he is so cold-hearted, seeing that Zhao Shun's illness has worsened in the past two days, the cousins in the Zhao family are staring at their two houses one by one, waiting for Zhao Shun to close his eyes and rely on her and Zhao Yiming's orphans and widows to take possession.

"You brought such things with you, and you can't be so polite to come to our house. Before. I heard Yiming say that Qi Ping's illness was cured, and there was not a single acne pit left on his body, as if I was happy, it was also the child's blessing, and ordinary people would not leave a pockmarked face. Xu was haggard, and he still couldn't hide his temper when he opened his mouth.

The two sat and chatted against each other, when there was a rapid coughing sound in the room, and Xu quickly got up and got in. Not for a while. There was a thud and a bowl was shattered.

Lee sat down once. I thought about it and walked in. There are not so many rules in the township, and they are saying that Zhao Shun is a patient lying on the kang, and she goes to see what is wrong.

Zhao Shun lay on the kang with a sallow face, his head couldn't stand upright, and he vomited blood one by one. The jacket on his body was stained with blood, and it was stained on the skin. Xu scrubbed him while choking tears.

Li was startled, he couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and went up to help Xu scrub together. He helped Xu Shi to hold Zhao Shun's head, and poured a bowl of decoction into his brain, and the bleeding gradually stopped. Zhao Shun lay down again in a daze.

Xu took out the bloodstained clothes and put them in the wooden barrel, and finally couldn't stand it anymore when he walked outside, pulling Li's hand and crying.

Li followed with tears, a woman's family, and no mother's family to help her, she has been working hard for two years, and the bitterness in her heart is only afraid that it will become a river.

Li connived and didn't know about Zhao Shun's illness, but looking at the way he vomited blood, he also knew that he couldn't stay up for long. Thinking that Zhao Yiming is so young and about to lose his father, his heart is really sour.

Xu Shi whimpered: "...... I can't look at him like this, and Lang Zhong in the town doesn't want to show it, so he only relies on medicine to hang it, and he can hang it for a few days. ”

"A group of wolf-hearted things, when we opened a shop in the city, I don't know how many autumn winds were played at the door, and even ate and took me to greet me with a smile, we went back to the township and turned our faces into six relatives and didn't recognize them, I worked hard to build these two houses, and I came to rob them." Xu Shi said fiercely, "My man is not dead yet, but he is dead, and I still have a son." ”

Only then did the Li family know that the haggard appearance of the Xu family was related to the fact that the brothers in the clan came to the house every day to talk about cool things.

"Sister, you also have to take care of yourself, we are all women, I know the bitterness in your heart. The brothers in your clan are ruthless, and you must also make good plans, there are gods in the head, and people can't be too full. Li accompanied Xu and gritted his teeth.

Xu washed his bloodstained clothes, and Li thought that Xu was thinner than last time, and knew that she didn't have the heart to eat. Fortunately, he brought a chicken over, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to the stove, made enough firewood to stew the pot of chicken soup, and then boiled the pot of gnocchi noodles with shredded chicken, and persuaded Xu to eat it.

After the clothes were washed, the brothers of the Zhao family came to make trouble again, this time saying that Zhao Shun occupied the border land when he built the house, so that they could not walk the aisle, and the first one of the people who came to make trouble was Zhao's brother Zhao Butcher.

Xu's spicy energy came up, a basin of cold water was poured over, and he pointed at Zhao Butcher and scolded: "Shameless and shameless, you kill pigs every day and become like a beast." Our family occupies the border? Now let's ask the village to measure and measure, when we built the house, our yard has shrunk two feet inside, and we still let us let out this section of the road, you are not good to make trouble, and you are not afraid of retribution, and sooner or later you will become a pig and let people take a knife to slaughter. ”

The words made Zhao Butcher's face scolded, and he gathered around to watch the lively people, and the people in the village were originally dissatisfied with the Zhao family's bullying of Zhao Shun's family, and many people opened their mouths to persuade each other. Li took off his apron in the house, walked out with wet hands, and said to Butcher Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, you are also a person walking in the market, and businessmen are the most reasonable. Whether the sister-in-law of the Zhao family occupies the border land, she can't say no, just ask someone to measure it. ”

Butcher Zhao didn't expect that the Li family was in the Xu family's house, and he originally wanted to come in with a pig-killing knife to show off his might, but he was afraid that he would really suffer a lawsuit. Li's is weak, but her man is a showman, if he is really serious, he sued the official enough for him to drink a pot, so he scolded and left.

Xu looked at Li gratefully and said, "Since I sold the land to you, I will make trouble every once in a while." ”

This is just a reason, even if there is no thirty acres of land, the same to make a fuss. In the past, Zhao Shun made a few bucks in business in Xuzhou Mansion, came to the village to worship his ancestors, drank wine and drank his tongue widely, saying that the family's land was left in the clan. Unexpectedly, he was sick and his business failed, so he had to come to the village as a last resort, and the brothers in the clan saw that the land that was about to be won returned to Zhao Shun's hands, and they had resentment in their hearts to make trouble every once in a while.

"The human heart is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant." Li followed and scolded.

In order to treat Chen Shun's illness, the family called Xu Shi for a few dollars, and there were only a few large baskets of sorghum rice in the house, and Li insisted that she bring a basket of sorghum back when she went back.

The man was sick, and it was all the women who suffered and suffered, and the Li family was already soft-hearted, and when he saw the situation of the Zhao family, he went home and sighed again and again, and told Xue Jiao the truth about the matter.

Xue Jiao has seen a lot of such things in her previous life, and people's hearts have desires, like flies, when she smells the meat of interests, she runs to the top desperately. Listening to what his mother said, Zhao Yiming's father can't last much time, just wait, there is trouble behind. Thinking of Zhao Yiming's sparkling eyes that were always smiling, Xue Jiao's heart was filled with sympathy.

While talking about it here, someone over there reported the funeral, saying that Zhao Shun of Zhaojia Village was gone. (To be continued......)
