After a few rains in December, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and the child of the Li family is the weakest in the season, and the family is not at ease, so they have to wait for the weather to clear up before sending it over. These days, in order to thank the spring return, the two big Li family sent a lot of mountain goods before and after, plus the two brothers sent by the Chen Shi brothers from time to time, and there were several more pheasants in their grass shed, and the eggs laid every day could make Zhiping happy for a long time.

The one or two six hundred taels of silver obtained from the fan, six hundred coins were used for the family, and the other one or two together with Qi You's three taels of silver she hid, slowly saved, and used as a bundle when she studied in the next year. Now she no longer has to worry about Qi You's gossip after she lives in their house, her heart is a lot more relaxed, but when she thinks of the peace that was exchanged for the events of that day, she feels uncomfortable.

Looking ahead, there were important things in the past two days, and while the sweet potatoes in the yard were ripe to meet expectations, she finally decided to harvest them.

When the weather was fine, the whole family went out, dug two small pieces of land from beginning to end, and dug up about 30 sweet potatoes, all of which were quite large. Several children were very excited.

Chungui picked up one and looked, about the sake of good water, soil and air, it is better than the modern sweet potato.

She reserved the sweet potato seeds for the next season to sprout, so she didn't move the other half of the land, and the dug sweet potatoes were moved to the north room by Qi You.

Seeing that several children had contributed today, Chun Gui thought about it and came to Zhiping's side and tempted: "Do you want to drink sweet potato syrup?" ”

The two little eyes lit up immediately, Zhimin looked novel, but Zhiping's eyes were bright and dark, and the old god said to Chungui: "Sister-in-law, you said last time that brown sugar ginger tea is also sugar water, but it tastes sweet and spicy." ”

After speaking, he shook his head helplessly, and there was a posture that I would not be deceived by you again.

This reaction made several people around laugh, and Chun Gui laughed and hugged the person: "Sister-in-law, don't you bluff you this time, haven't you always wanted to know what this grass vine fruit tastes like!" ”

Zhiping glanced at her suspiciously: "Made of grass vine fruit?" ”

Chungui nodded hurriedly.

"Sweet?"

Chungui nodded again.

Zhiping then tolerated and said, "Okay." ”

So on the afternoon of the first day of the harvest, she started the stove with sweet potatoes. Qi You and Zhixing dug up two more radishes, Chun Gui thought about it, the family has not eaten dumplings for a long time like the last time, the weather has been freezing recently, and the interest of several children is not very high, so they simply rushed to eat another good meal.

Thinking like this, she commanded a few more children, Zhixing peeled sweet potatoes, Qi You went to Cai's house to buy some brown sugar, she stopped Qi You: "You tell Sister Cai, she doesn't want money, we don't want brown sugar." ”

These days, the Cai family has given their family a lot of sugar, once or twice just as a neighbor's friendship, and she is embarrassed if there are too many times. Which of the two families is better off than the other?

She took out ten cents and stuffed it to Qi You, waved his hand and asked him to hurry up, and Qi You immediately went out to run errands after getting off.

Looking at it from a distance, this leg is very good, and I am relieved to return in spring.

Zhixing said to Chun Hui while peeling: "Sister-in-law, I'll just do this errand thing, how can you call Qi You." ”

He asked casually, but Chun Gui raised his eyebrows and stopped what he was doing and said, "Aren't you two the same, what's the difference between who runs errands?" ”

They all live in the same room, of course, they are treated together, and those who keep their distance are outsiders.

Zhixing reacted immediately, and nodded again and again with a smile: "No difference, no difference." ”

"That sister-in-law, you can call him more in the future, let Qi You do any errands, weeding, stir-frying and boiling water."

Chun Gui smiled angrily: "I said that our family has one more brother or one more coolie!" Just be poor, you. ”

After speaking, he glanced at him: "Speaking of work, Qi You took over a book copying job before, I told him, add you, and sharpen your patience!" ”

Chungui also feels strange, this child usually writes decent words in his homework, how can he not hold back when he comes to practicing words, every word is good to listen to the dragon flying phoenix dance, and the ugly point is to hold a chicken and step on a few feet at will to write more clearly than him.

Zhixing was deflated when he heard this, and continued to peel with a long sigh.

When Qi You came back, the big bones in the stew pot had already been stewed, and the radishes were all cut into small pieces and put aside for later use.

The sweet potatoes in the cauldron were boiling, and Chungui poked them with chopsticks and they were still hard, and the sweet potatoes were already difficult to ripen, so she added a spoonful of cold water and continued to burn them.

Qi You brought back a large bag of brown sugar, which looked more than ten cents, and Qi You said helplessly after handing it over: "Sister Cai originally refused to accept money, I said that if I don't accept money, I don't want brown sugar, so she should go, but she turned around and gave me such a big bag." ”

Chungui smiled and said: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, so let's wait for this sweet potato syrup to be ready, let's send some to Xiaobao." ”

"In the winter, children are already weak, drink more warm, and now I have added this sweet potato, which can suppress the spicy taste of a lot of ginger, Xiaobao must love to drink."

"That's right." Chungui suddenly thought of the child from the Li family: "Wait a minute, send some to Zhiyuan." ”

When his two brothers came to deliver mountain goods a few days ago, Zhiyuan drank the brown sugar ginger tea every day, and he almost cried because of the spicy ginger, but the effect was good.

Now with the addition of sweet and glutinous sweet potatoes, you won't be spicy and cry.

The two pots were stewed, and Chungui simply didn't steam the rice, took out the coarse corn flour and kneaded the dough with water, pulled it into a big basket of noodles, and sprinkled a handful of flour to dry. The noodles that I ate in a hurry at noon, the soup base was only stewed for a while, but this time it was different, she started to stew after lunch, and even the bone marrow would flow out at night, and then put a basket of noodles, and the soup was all put into the noodles, which must be even better than the last time.

Bone broth nourishes people, this big bone is cheap, Zhiyuan's child should drink it from time to time, she decided to talk to Daddy Li later.

She originally thought that she would also bring a bowl of bone broth to Daddy Li when she sent the sweet potato syrup, but what she didn't expect was that she had time to come to the door, but Daddy Li hurried over.

Each of them has a bowl of noodles in front of the table, a fragrant soup base, and a layer of radish on the noodles, which will crumble when poked.

Zhiping hummed visionarily: "Sister-in-law, this radish can be eaten when I lose my teeth!" As he was talking, the child suddenly had a slap on his face, the corners of his eyes turned red, and then he immediately lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hand.

Qi You sat across from him, and saw it at a glance, he put down his chopsticks, blocked the corners of his mouth with his hand, turned his head and gestured to Chungui: "Sister Chun." ”

Chungui was stunned for a moment, and just swallowed a bite and looked at it. Seeing that she laughed directly, Qi You finally couldn't hold back, put down his hand and laughed.

"Zhiping, don't cover your mouth."

At this time, Zhimin and Zhixing also noticed it, and all the people at the table looked over.

The eyes of the child in front of him were full of grievances, and he awkwardly removed his hand and spread it out, and there was a small tooth lying in the palm of his small hand.

Looking at Zhiping again, in the middle, an upper incisor is missing.

Zhixing immediately laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, you said, you can eat this radish even if you lose your teeth!" ”

He didn't feel distressed when he laughed at his younger brother, and even more annoyed Zhiping was wronged, pouting and looking at Chungui.

Chungui also felt funny, and hurriedly took his bowl of noodles and put it back into the pot to cook it even softer.

The family was eating happily, but Dr. Li's house next door to Lizheng was in a mess.

This year, there was a great drought, the weather was a little strange, and after the winter, it was unusually cold, and several children had typhoid fever, coughing badly, and some of them had fever. The adults took the children back and forth at Dr. Li's house several times, and finally took the medicine to get better, but the spirit was still not good.

Father Li entered the door at this moment, and his second grandson, Li Zhigao, fell while hunting, and his arm was a little unhappy, so he took his eldest grandson to buy some herbs from Dr. Li.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw three or four adults standing around Dr. Li, all holding children in their hands.

Dr. Li was helpless: "You make up for your children on weekdays and raise your foundation, so it is not easy to get sick." ”

"It's a three-point poison, and now such a young child, no matter how many bowls of medicine are poured into it, the bones can't stand it!"

Led by the village chief's grandson, Liu Jiawang and his wife, holding his seven-year-old son Liujin, the child was hot again and was falling asleep. Today has been burning all day, the Liu family and his wife are young, and they are fathers and mothers for the first time, and they have poured several bowls of medicine.

Dr. Li continued: "You guys start tomorrow morning, hurry up and borrow a car to go to the town to find a doctor at the hospital. ”

It's too late today, and the road has long been closed, but fortunately, the child's heat has receded a little bit compared to the morning, and it will be good if he can last until tomorrow.

"As for the few of you, I'll grab some herbs for you, cook them and give them to the child to drink, don't drink more, and I'll go to the doctor with me tomorrow morning."

Liu Jiawang was so anxious when he heard this, and hugged the child tightly: "Doctor Li, my little gold has a lot of eggs on weekdays, but in the winter, he still coughs, how can he raise his foundation?" ”

Dr. Li is a good hand at treating injuries, bleeding and falling injuries such herbs can be dressed, but the physical problems are a little difficult, thinking that his medical skills are not good, so he only looks at small illnesses and small pains such as cough in the township, and sells some ordinary herbs, and only said: "When I was young, I also heard a friend who studied medicine with me say that he learned to treat internal diseases, and what he said all the year round is that food supplements are not as good as medicine supplements." ”

"What I know is to use soup to make up, you cook some bone broth every day, don't be too precious to the children, let them move and run."

The other two adults holding the child were worried when they heard it: "This meat is not cheap, it's good to eat it once in a while, and we don't have that money to eat it often." ”

Doctor Li also sighed: "You will go to the town tomorrow to see the doctor, and by the way, you will come back together." ”

Several adults looked at the child with distressed faces, and were about to go back.

At this time, Li Zhicun thought of something, and opened his mouth in a non-serious tone: "The sister who returned to the spring last year gave my family Zhiyuan a drink of brown sugar ginger tea, and my family Zhiyuan had a cough and fever at this time in previous years, but he didn't get sick again after drinking that tea." ”

"Is this what you said Dr. Li said to use soup to make up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room was stunned.
