Bai Mengdie picked off all the rotten leaves at the root of a large mushroom and threw them away: "Second aunt, bone broth can't make up for grandma's injured arm, and you need to absorb more calcium if you break a bone, bone broth doesn't have any calcium, only oil."

I'll go to the county tomorrow to buy a few bottles of calcium tablets for my grandmother, and I'll come back, it's much more effective than drinking bone broth. ”

"Drinking bone broth doesn't work?" Li Yuhuan didn't believe it at all, "Didn't you say that you can make up for what you eat?" Your grandmother has a bone injury, and of course she has to drink bone broth to make up for it. ”

Bai Mengdie couldn't explain it to her, thinking that the old lady was only a handful of bones left anyway, and there was no oil and water on her body, even if she drank bone broth for a while, she wouldn't be three high, so she said: "Then the second aunt will make bone broth for grandma to drink, but this calcium tablet also has to be eaten, and the two-pronged approach is better faster." ”

The old lady was reluctant to spend money and asked, "Are calcium tablets expensive, if they are expensive, don't buy them." ”

Bai Mengdie really wants to learn from Chen Ziqian: Is money important or people important?

But she knew that the old lady was used to frugality, and she would definitely answer that money was important, and that she was too old to spend money on her.

Bai Mengdie wrote lightly: "How much money can a bottle of calcium tablets cost? A few dollars a bottle can be eaten for a month, and it will be about ten yuan for three months.

The Yuanyuan family wants to pay grandma a thousand yuan, and we can still afford to eat the medicine for ten or so yuan. ”

The old lady agreed to buy calcium tablets, and said quietly: "I don't know if the Yuanyuan family next door will lose money, let's see that his husband and wife are not good things, they will play tricks, I'm afraid this money will not be easy to get." ”

Bai Mengdie sneered: "This matter is not up to the Yuanyuan family, if they dare not pay, I will dare to sue them and let them pay more!" ”

The old lady sighed imperceptibly, looked ahead worriedly, and thought, how can a lawsuit be so easy to fight?

After cleaning up the fungus, Bai Mengdie didn't want to be idle, so she took the farm tools and went to the field to help with the work.

Li Yuhuan stopped her: "Fluttershy, your grandfather sent a big soft-shelled turtle in the morning, saying that you and your brother will eat it, and the exam will be auspicious and dominant, and I heard that soft-shelled turtles are nutritious, and I won't burn soft-shelled turtles after eating nourishing miles, you see how to eat them." ”

"Soft-shelled turtle? Where is it? How big is it? Bai Mengdie asked with a smile.

The soft-shelled turtle soup is delicious, but the braised taste is also good.

It just so happens that there are fresh mushrooms at home, so when you cook soft-shelled turtle soup, throw some mushrooms into the soup to make it more delicious.

Li Yuhuan looked at Bai Mengdie's lively appearance, and was infected by her, and his mood became lighter: "In the kitchen, it's as big as a small soup pot, I'm afraid it's more than five catties!" ”

"So big!" Bai Mengdie ran to the kitchen to see that it was really the size of a small soup pot!

The soft-shelled turtle was rampage in the vat trying to find a way to escape, and it was very energetic.

It is said that soft-shelled turtles have a good therapeutic effect on major diseases such as cancer.

In the later generations of Bai Mengdie, about a pound of wild soft-shelled turtles were sold for six or seven hundred, and these five catties were even more expensive.

Because wild soft-shelled turtles are bigger and more expensive.

The memory left by the original owner to Bai Mengdie, there are dealers in the town who buy wild soft-shelled turtles, and the purchase price per catty is 30 yuan for those below three catties, and the purchase price per catty for more than three catties is 50 yuan.

This five-pound turtle can be sold for at least 250 yuan, but my grandfather's family is so poor, but he specially sent this big turtle to her and Shi Lei to eat~

If it is a pound or so of soft-shelled turtle Bai Mengdie, she can still eat it, how can she be willing to eat hundreds of wild turtles!

Those who are not sick or have disasters do not need to make up for it.

And in her previous life, she also heard the eldest sister who bought gold jewelry at the reserve price say that her father had liver cancer around 98 years ago.

In the provincial capital Dadongmen Aquatic Market to buy wild soft-shelled turtle soup for food therapy, a pound of wild soft-shelled turtle costs 100 yuan a catty, much higher than the purchase price of the dealers in the town, three catties are hundreds of yuan a catty, she can't afford it at all, she can only buy a pound of weight.

If this five-pound turtle is sold in the provincial capital, it will definitely be more expensive, and if it can be sold for thousands of yuan, it will be of great help to the grandfather's family.

Bai Mengdie playfully took a small wooden stick and poked the soft-shelled turtle's head, and the soft-shelled turtle immediately fought with the small wooden stick with high morale.

Bai Mengdie threw a small wooden stick and said to Li Yuhuan: "It's a pity to eat such a big soft-shelled turtle, I'll discuss it with my mother to see if I can help my grandfather sell this soft-shelled turtle for two dollars to improve the life of my grandfather's family." ”

The old lady heard it in the yard and said, "Yes, it's more affordable to sell this soft-shelled turtle for a few dollars." ”

Bai Mengdie came to her field with farm tools on her shoulder, and saw that Tian Chunfang and the old man were all pulling weeds in the rice field.

Bai Mengdie was about to go down to the field, but Tian Chunfang hurriedly stopped: "There are locusts in the paddy field, don't come down, you go and hoe the grass in our sesame field." ”

Bai Mengdie was most afraid of that kind of blood-sucking mollusk, and when she heard this, she didn't go into the paddy field and went to hoe grass in the sesame field.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Bai Mengdie followed Tian Chunfang and the old man home and talked about the big turtle.

Tian Chunfang said with a smile: "I also told your grandfather that I sold that big soft-shelled turtle."

Now it is no longer than in previous years, since some people in the town bought soft-shelled turtles, turtles, eels, and black fish, as soon as the farming season came, many people tried their best to catch them for money.

Because of over-catching, it is now difficult to catch turtles, soft-shelled turtles and these aquatic products, and this five-pound soft-shelled turtle is even rarer, and it is a pity to eat it.

But your grandfather said that the bigger the soft-shelled turtle, the better, and since last month, your grandfather has taken your uncle everywhere to catch soft-shelled turtles every night.

After catching for so long, the hard work finally paid off, and the person caught such a big soft-shelled turtle, and refused to sell anything, and the leek wanted to give your brother and sister a good fortune to eat.

Your grandfather also said that if your brother eats this soft-shelled turtle and is admitted to college, a soft-shelled turtle of two or three hundred yuan can exchange for a good future for your brother, which is worth it. ”

Bai Mengdie said: "There are more than two or three hundred soft-shelled turtles that are so big."

If I take it to the provincial capital Dadongmen Aquatic Market to sell, I can sell it for at least five or six hundred yuan, which is enough to pay my cousin's tuition for the second year of high school. ”

The old man interjected: "Who doesn't know that the wild soft-shelled turtle in the aquatic market at the east gate of the provincial city is expensive!"

But if we countrymen are unfamiliar with the land and go there, they will be slaughtered as fat sheep by soft-shelled turtle dealers.

Or just play tricky on the scale, and he will weigh you less than two catties of three catties of soft-shelled turtle.

Well, even if it weighs less than two catties, it sells for more money than it sells to the dealers in the town who collect wild fish, but the problem is that the money can't be brought back.

Either it was stolen by a thief, or it was robbed, and it was useless to call the police, and when the police came, the thief and the robber all ran away, where to arrest someone!

Therefore, we countrymen would rather sell the wild aquatic products we caught to the hawkers in the town at a low price than go to the Dadongmen of the provincial capital to sell them at a high price.

Don't even think about going to Dadongmen to help your grandfather sell soft-shelled turtles, if something happens, my grandmother and your father and your mother will all stop living! ”

Tian Chunfang also said, "Fluttershy, you have to listen to Grandpa's words, safety first." ”

Bai Mengdie straightened her hair, straightened her clothes, stood straight in front of Tian Chunfang and the old man, and asked them in a fluent and standard Chinese accent: "Grandpa, mother, do you think I am dirty?" ”

The old man and Tian Chunfang both said that they were not dirty.

They are telling the truth, the original owner has not done housework since he was a child, and he does not look like a country girl at all.

After Bai Mengdie crossed over, she had the temperament of an urban girl in her previous life, which was even less rustic.

Bai Mengdie continued to walk forward: "Grandpa and mother know why the villagers go to the east gate of the provincial capital to sell wild aquatic products and be pitted."

It is because the dealers who buy wild aquatic products and the thieves and robbers can recognize at a glance that the villagers are from the countryside, and of course they dare to attack outsiders.

I'm different, I speak a standard Chinese accent, as long as I dress up a little, I don't look like a country girl at all.

Those fish dealers, thieves, and robbers didn't dare to do anything to me easily, so my grandfather and mother didn't have to worry about my safety. ”

Tian Chunfang looked at Bai Mengdie sideways: "Don't say it, your Jiangcheng dialect is much better now than what you used to speak, and the Jiangcheng dialect you used to speak still has a hometown accent, and the locals in Jiangcheng can tell that you are from other places as soon as you hear it." ”

Bai Mengdie thought in her heart, in the past, the original owner would go to the city to live in the city during the New Year's holidays and holidays, and it was normal for Jiangcheng to learn non-standard dialect.

But she has been living in Jiangcheng since she was a child in her previous life, and she doesn't want to live if Jiangcheng is not good.

In order not to make the old man of Tian Chunfang Village suspicious, Bai Mengdie calmly explained: "Girls have talent for learning languages, isn't there a program in Jiangcheng dialect on the radio?" Listen more to my Jiangcheng dialect and you will improve. ”

In order to enhance the reliability of what she said, Bai Mengdie added: "Not only can I speak the Jiangcheng dialect better and better after listening to it twice, but I can also improve my English by leaps and bounds after listening to it twice.

I took the first place in the class in the last English test, and it was still a foreign language, and I could learn it well, not to mention the provincial dialect, it was difficult for me! ”

The old man grinned, "Our Fluttershy is smart!" Your cousin's son, Li Haoyu, has followed his parents to Jiangcheng for so many years, and he still can't speak Jiangcheng well~"

Bai Mengdie smiled, and then said, "Grandpa, I want to be an English translator in the future and make a lot of money!" ”

The old man secretly thought in his heart, English translator, is this goal too big, I'm afraid it can't be achieved.

However, he still smiled and encouraged Bai Mengdie: "Okay, the English translation is good!" ”

Tian Chunfang asked in disbelief: "You took the first place in the English test, why didn't you mention it at home?" ”

Bai Mengdie laughed twice, she was an orphan before, and no matter how good her grades were, she had no relatives to share, so she didn't remember to share it with her relatives this time.

"I wanted to get a good score in the final exam and scare my mom, dad and grandparents, so I deliberately didn't say it."

Tian Chunfang said angrily: "It's already a sixteen-year-old girl, I'm so happy!" ”

Bai Mengdie nodded mischievously: "Uh-huh! ”

Tian Chunfang doted on her: "Tomorrow morning, Mom will cook you two eggs to eat to celebrate your good score in the English test." ”

Bai Mengdie was a little embarrassed: "It's been a long time, what kind of eggs are you boiling, don't cook them." ”

The old man smiled and said, "I want to cook!" To be cooked! If you get a good score, you should be rewarded! ”

Bai Mengdie's heart was warm, and she mentioned to the old man that she wanted to go to the county seat tomorrow to buy calcium tablets for the old lady to eat, and if she took calcium tablets, she would be better if she had a fracture.

The old man nodded and agreed: "How much does a bottle of calcium tablets cost?" I'll ask your grandma to give you the money. ”

Bai Mengdie shook her head: "A bottle of calcium tablets is only a few yuan, grandpa, don't give money, I sell stationery, phone cards or something in school, I can almost earn dozens or hundreds of yuan a week, and I can't afford to buy a bottle of calcium tablets?" ”

The old man said: "The money you earn can be used as pocket money by yourself, or handed over to your mother to save for you to use in college, and it is better for your grandmother to take medicine or we pay for it ourselves." ”

Bai Mengdie said unhappily, "Grandparents are getting old, why don't we pay a few medical bills for the younger generation?" Grandpa wants to see the outside like this~"

Tian Chunfang also persuaded, "Dad, Fluttershy wants to honor her grandmother, so you can follow her." ”

The old man happily agreed.

When passing through the cotton field of the second house, Bai Aimin's father and son also finished work and went home, and the two families went home together.

As soon as they walked to the entrance of the village, Bai Mengdie and the others saw Aunt Bai Jie walking out of the village in a hurry.

Tian Chunfang greeted her: "Aunt Bai Jie, it's time for dinner, where are you going?" ”

Aunt Bai Jie patted her thigh and said anxiously: "Don't mention it, my dead old woman was sick a few days ago, and she was sent to the town clinic in the morning for injections, and now she is shouting dizziness, I have to go to the town to ask her for a doctor!" ”

Tian Chunfang hurriedly said: "Then you hurry up and ask the doctor, and ask the doctor to give the old lady a good dinner after seeing the doctor." ”

Aunt Bai Jie said "hey", continued to run forward, ran two steps and turned back, and asked Bai Mengdie: "Bai Jie was arrested by the police station, when will she be released?" ”

Bai Mengdie asked in surprise: "Auntie, how do you know that Bai Jie has been arrested?" ”

She didn't even tell the old man about Bai Jie's arrest again, where did Bai Jie's aunt know the news?

Aunt Bai Jie said: "I won't hide it from you, I went to school last week to find Bai Jie to inquire about her mother's whereabouts, so that her mother can bear her grandmother's medical expenses, which was agreed before."

As a result, I didn't find anyone, and your homeroom teacher told me that she was arrested, what bad thing did she do and was arrested? ”

Bai Mengdie told her calmly: "Bai Jie was suspected of stealing someone else's baby, and also took the gold jewelry worn by the baby as her own, so she was arrested by the police station." ”

Aunt Bai Jie was stunned for a moment: "Is the baby you are talking about the same baby you brought back before?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Bai Mengdie nodded, "She originally wanted to harm me with that stolen baby, but now she has brought herself into the police station." ”

"Yes!" Aunt Bai Jie said with relief: "This is really lifting a stone and hitting yourself in the foot." ”

Bai Mengdie said, "I don't know when Bai Jie will be released, stealing babies is a criminal crime and a felony, maybe the sentence will be directly after the detention, and my aunt may not be able to find Bai Jie during this time."

I think my aunt might as well go to the police station to ask about the whereabouts of White Lotus, wasn't she arrested by the police station for using counterfeit money and sent to the detention center? ”

Aunt Bai Jie said: "I asked, and she was released at the end of her detention the day before her mother fell ill." ”

Bai Mengdie looked at her helplessly.
