Chapter 12: The Humble People
The doctor was invited, dressed and prescribed, and left after receiving a tael of silver for the consultation.
instructed to change the dressing every three days, and Li Meng wrote them down one by one.
There were no outsiders, Li Wan wiped her tears in distress, "Sister, I used so much money, what can I do." ”
"Poof...... Look at what you said, we can't starve to death! Li Meng smiled lightly and took the medicine to boil.
Li Wan injured her muscles and bones, she had to recuperate for at least three months, and she couldn't do heavy work, this was to remind her that it was not enough to use her physical strength to clean the house, she had to think of a way to earn some income for her family as soon as possible.
Otherwise, next time anyone has a cold or flu, I'm afraid they will have to drink the northwest wind.
Tomorrow, spend a tael of silver to ask the sisters-in-law nearby to help clean the house as soon as possible, looking at the messy yard, where are you in the mood to cook......
"Yo, Aunt Yuan doesn't know that the girl in that family has fine skin and tender meat, but she is too lazy, and asked me if I would like to help clean up, saying that I would give a commission. Bah, I thought I hadn't seen any money. ”
"Isn't it? I really thought that we were all idle and had nothing to do, and we were poor! Aunt Yuan tossed the bean bran out of the dustpan and spat fiercely at the opposite door.
"It's too cold, it's okay, everyone is not allowed to go!" Another Aunt Zhang also chimed in.
At night, the door of Li Meng's house rang out.
"Who?"
Li Meng was cooking noodle soup on the fire, thinking that he would be fooled with his stomach tonight, and he hadn't had time to buy fresh vegetables and meat yet!
"Next door, your sister-in-law Li."
"Come, wait......" Li Meng washed his hands and opened the door.
"Oh, this big girl is so good-looking." This Aunt Li smiled and was extremely enthusiastic.
Before Li Meng could speak, he went into the courtyard by himself, looking around, "You didn't ask me about it during the day, I just came to answer you, in fact, I happened to be resting in Ming'er, and there is an old woman at home, let's just clean it." It's not too difficult. ”
"Will you be able to clean it up tomorrow?" Li Meng didn't like self-cooking, but she really needed to tidy up the yard in the next few days, so she still asked half-convinced.
"Auntie, I can't bluff you!" Aunt Li patted her chest and said, "But the silver the girl said, I'm not greedy for money, I can make ...... whatever I want."
"If I can clean it up in one day, I'm satisfied, how about I give you one or two......
Li Meng thinks that the price is very reasonable, after all, it saves her a lot of trouble, and she doesn't have to buy the tools for cleaning the yard, and it is not practical to buy too much, and it is also an unnecessary waste.
"One or two!" Aunt Li's eyes lit up, "Big sister, are you serious?" wanted to hold Li Meng's hand, but Li Meng avoided it silently, and she didn't care.
"Of course I'll count it." Li Meng nodded, "But if I'm not satisfied, I'm afraid this salary will be ......."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door again, "Miss Li, have you had dinner, I brought you two eggs and ......"
"Why is she here?" Aunt Li's face turned pale when she heard this, and she hid in the corner while it was dark.
"You are?"
Li Meng even asked several households in the vicinity today, but he couldn't tell who was who!
"I'm your Aunt Yuan, I live opposite you, seeing that you have been busy all day, you must not have eaten, right? I specially brought you two eggs, the chicken just laid it, it's still warm, you take it......"
Aunt Yuan's face was full of smiles, and she forced two eggs into Li Meng's hands, "I also brought you some chopped green onions, the scrambled eggs are the most delicious." ”
"Aunt Yuan, ...... you are?"
"Hey, I really don't hide it from the girl, what you asked during the day, I went back and discussed it with my master, and the owner said that since it is a neighbor, your sister fell and was injured, of course you have to help the lining, the silver doesn't matter! Okay, I'll be here early tomorrow morning. Aunt Yuan said with a smile.
"But ......"
Li Meng couldn't smile bitterly, these aunts were obviously not empty in the daytime, why did they change their hexagrams at night.
"Okay, you stinky woman, you can't look down on it during the day, it turns out that you came to take advantage of it at night!"
Aunt Li suddenly rushed out of the corner in a rage, pointed at Aunt Yuan's nose and scolded.
"You, why are you here?" Aunt Yuan was taken aback, and her speech was a little unpleasant, so she reacted after a moment, and yelled with her neck stalked, "You're embarrassed to say me, what are you doing here in the middle of the night!" What the day said sounded, it turned out to be to deceive a few of us! Black-hearted woman! ”
"Who lied to you! It's not like you, but it's ......."
"You say who has a lot of eyes, I think you just have enough to eat and have nothing to do, isn't it rare to have this money? Isn't it a sinister person? ”
The two of them turned red, rolled up their sleeves and quarreled on the spot.
Li Meng's stomach rumbled with hunger, and seeing that the two people were arguing in full swing, she didn't bother to bother, so she went back to the kitchen, ready to fill her stomach with a bowl of noodles for Li Wan and herself, and she was not polite to the eggs in her hand.
Silently went back to the kitchen.
Putting the crushed Jiang Mo into the already boiling pot, Mari cracked the egg into it.
When the noodles go down, they are cheerful and fluttering, fresh and fresh.
I picked up the noodles and eggs, sprinkled some dried peppercorns and chili pepper noodles, and when I scooped up and poured the oil, the sound of oil spread.
At the end, sprinkle with fine chopped green onions, and a spicy fragrance comes to your face.
After all, Li Meng has been running around for a day, and she is hungry.
First served a bowl of noodles to Li Wan.
Li Wan couldn't believe it, and said stunned, "You did this?" "I've never heard that Li Meng can cook.
"I'm going to eat, there's nothing at home except spices, I'll go buy some tomorrow and come back to make up for you, you're so thin, it's not good." Li Meng went to the kitchen again and brought a bowl and sat down across from her.
Li Wan nodded, her eyes turned red again, and after taking a bite of noodles, she remembered that the noise outside was in full swing, "Those aunts...... I wanted to see it, but I couldn't walk......"
"No matter, they solve their own affairs, we eat our own." Li Meng smiled, not nosy.
"Okay."
Li Wan never expected that when she was sick, it was Li Meng who personally took care of her......
The voices outside grew quieter.
Li Meng finally finished eating the noodles and walked out, "The two aunts have discussed?" ”
"Hmph, big sister, who do you say you let come! We listen to you! ”
"I came first, why should I give it to you? I thought ...... beautiful."
The two of them refused to back down even a single step.
"We're going to rest, the two aunts have discussed it, and we'll come early tomorrow."
Li Meng was full, and the doze came, and he yawned and had to pick up someone, and after speaking, he bowed his head and went back to the back room, without thinking about it at all.
