Chapter 449: Rong Weishan and Xi Baotian join the army (middle)
Since more than half a year ago, the Rong family has had a head start. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is true not only of the Rong family, but also of the entire village.
Originally, there were more than 100 households in their lion shop, with a total of less than two or three hundred acres of paddy fields, except for three or four families with more than ten acres of paddy fields, the others were two or three acres of fields, and even like the Rong family, there were only more than one acre of fields or no land at all.
The poor village, the poor people, suddenly changed. Originally, they lived by renting fields in neighboring villages, but now they suddenly have a few acres of land. The people of the entire lion shop all had smiles on their faces.
After paying a small amount of grain tax to the town office, most of the rest of the grain in his own paddy field and growing grain is his own. Isn't this kind of day something that our ancestors have been looking forward to for several lifetimes?
Rong Weishan's family, like other families in the village, suddenly had hope.
As soon as they arrived at the field, they were busy, and the whole family went into battle, turned over the paddy fields, and took some rapeseed from the town on credit, and hurriedly planted rapeseed. At the same time, on the uphill slope, the ground in front of the house and behind the house begins to accumulate fertilizer.
Although there is still no harvest for the time being, this person has hope, but it is completely different. Relying on the bag of rice and half a bag of noodles sent by the town office, because he had to support the harvest in the early spring, Rong Weishan still ate ninety percent of the soup of wild vegetables and half of the rice every day, and his stomach was rumbling and screaming with hunger, but he was full of energy.
And at this time when there was a shortage of water, the town office launched the repair of water canals and town roads, so that all families could contribute labor to help, not including food, but settled with one catty and half of rice every day.
Rong Weishan, who was overjoyed, hurriedly persuaded Rong's mother to stop touching the spinning and weaving, and went to the town office to report to the town office with a group of middle-aged people in the village to participate in the repair of water canals and roads in the town.
Relying on this pound and a half of rice every day, Rong Weishan's family of four can finally drink half-dry porridge and rice. Every evening after work, leading a pound and a half of rice home with a cloth bag, watching his younger brothers and sisters happily surround to greet him, Rong Weishan felt that as the pillar of the family, he could bring the happiness of food and clothing to the family.
In this way, I survived the beginning of spring.
Rong Weishan was worried that he had no money to buy millet for seeding, and the deputy mayor of the town office came down to the village again, informing every household that they could borrow millet from the warehouse of the town office to make seeds, and also sent teachers in the town's peasant training center to teach the villagers the skills of breeding.
With the help of teachers from the town's peasant training center, Rong Weishan and the people in the village have raised seedlings. During that time, Rong Weishan saw that small piece of attractive seedlings growing green every day, and his heart was also itchy.
Spring is so good!
Soon, Rong Weishan took his younger brothers and sisters to harvest the rapeseed planted in the field, beat nearly 200 catties of rapeseed, leaving 50 catties of oil to eat at home, and the rest, Rong Weishan sold it to the town office's warehouse, even if the purchase price of the town office was ten cents cheaper than that in the town market.
Rong Weishan is a grateful person.
The town office helped their Rong family so much, and he felt that he couldn't sell rapeseed to others because of the high price.
After harvesting rapeseed, it's time to plant early rice!
Because Rong's mother can't see with her eyes, and her younger brothers and sisters are too young, the Rong family can barely be regarded as a strong laborer. It is too late to reclaim a few acres of paddy fields. At this time, the deputy mayor of the town office stationed in the village borrowed two cows from other villages and lent them to the villagers to turn over the land.
With a thunderclap and the cuckoo's cry, Rong's family set out and finally planted the seedlings in the family's four acres and eight fields.
Immediately afterwards, it is hard work every day, more than four acres of fields, Rong Weishan repeats the work of thinning seedlings, removing barnyard grass, watering manure, irrigation and so on. Sweating every day, but smiling.
Watching the seedlings grow tall and strong day by day, turning into rice, jointing, flowering, heading ......, the joy in Rong Weishan's heart is beyond words.
It's already May, Dong'an is located in southern Shonan, the rice has matured earlier, and the Rong's early rice has begun to tassel.
On this day, Rong Weishan had just returned from working in the field, and suddenly heard his younger brothers and sisters running and saying, "Big brother, there is a great joy!" Next to the town office, a medical clinic was set up, and there was a doctor who was from Yongzhou Fucheng, and I heard that the medical skills were excellent, and the blind mother-in-law from the neighboring village said to have gone to see her eyes and was cured! Tomorrow, let's take my mother to the town's infirmary. ”
"Really?" Rong Weishan is overjoyed, recently he has been working in the fields every day, leaving early and returning late, and he has not heard any news from the town. "The infirmary, is it a doctor or a doctor? If you can really cure your mother's eyes, it will be great. Okay, I'll send my mother to the town tomorrow. It just so happens that the money from the sale of rapeseed, paying off the old debts of the past, is a little left. ”
"Don't go! My mother is so old, what does it matter if I can't see it. The rest of the money from selling rapeseed was saved! Boss, in another year or two, you should marry a daughter-in-law, you have to save some money and prepare early! Rong's mother came out of the back room and retorted.
"Mother, you will listen to your son. The son would rather not have a daughter-in-law, but also heal his mother's eyes. At this moment, Rong Weishan's tone is resolute and cannot be questioned.
The next day, the three siblings accompanied Rong's mother to the town and walked into the infirmary located next to the town office.
From the moment they entered the infirmary, the three brothers and sisters of the Rong family raised their hearts. There were quite a lot of people who saw a doctor, and it took nearly an hour to queue up before it was Rong's mother's turn.
"Old sister-in-law, your eyes are not blind, but there are too many white clouds, and you use your eyes excessively in dim light all the year round, resulting in inability to see for a while, but fortunately, you come to treat, and it will be difficult to say later." A middle-aged man in a white robe, who was the only doctor in the infirmary, checked Rong's mother's pulse, rolled her eyelids again, and said.
Rong Weishan shouted excitedly: "Doctor, you mean that my mother's eyes can be cured?" Then hurry up and treat my mother, as long as it can be cured, it doesn't matter how much it is! ”
The doctor smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat it with my heart." Your mother's eyes should be good. Besides, if you can't do it in the town, you can also go to the county and the house. As for money, you don't have to worry, this is a local infirmary set up by the Holy King's Palace, and it is not for the purpose of making money, but for the good deeds of treating the people, it will not be expensive. ”
After speaking, the doctor looked at Rong's mother's tongue again, wrote down a few prescriptions, and said, "Today is the day of the market, I am a little busy, I will be a little free, you can come to the infirmary to find me again, pay for the medicine." Go home and apply it to your eyes, and then take some internally, when you can reopen your eyes. ”
The Rong family waited for more than an hour and finally paid for the medicine.
"A total of four hundred and seventy-eight texts!" The doctor handed over two packets of medicine.
"What? So cheap? Rong's mother couldn't help but scream. She didn't want to come to the town to see a doctor, because she was afraid that it would be too expensive and the family would be in debt. When Rong's father was sick in bed, every time he grabbed medicine, it was one or two taels of silver, even if he grabbed medicine once every half a month, he quickly spent all the money saved in the family and owed debts.
I didn't expect the infirmary in this town to be so cheap!
Rong Weishan was also very surprised, and his heart was full of yearning for the holy king that the doctor said: When will it be good to see the holy king once in this life!
In addition to gratitude, Rong Weishan found that he worshiped the holy king more. What kind of great man is this, what kind of kindness can he do to poor people like himself. What's more, his influence can be seen that he can implement the policies formulated by him in the backwoods like the Lion Shop!
Three days later, Rong's mother drank the last bowl of medicinal soup, opened the herbs applied to her eyelids, and opened her eyes in the anticipation of her three children.
"My son, my mother really saw it again!" Rong's mother's eyes were no longer cloudy, although her vision was still a little blurry, but she did see her three children: "Boss, you have grown so tall!" Second, you're a lot stronger. The third child has also grown up. All good! ”
When Rong Weishan heard Rong's mother say this, his heart seemed to jump out of excitement: "Great! Mother, you can really see it again! ”
The younger siblings also cheered, and the Rong family laughed.
At this time, the town office received a notice from the county government that the Holy King had decided to expand the army of the captives, and that he would recruit new soldiers from among the young and middle-aged people from the age of 15 to 45 in the entire Holy Kingdom. And Dong'an County, because it has not been conscripted before, has a large number of places, with 230 places.
Soon, the police division in the town's police station, with two police officers, came to the villages to publicize it.
Rong Weishan only learned the news when he returned from working in the fields in the evening.
That night, Rong Weishan had insomnia!
