After this incident, Dr. Li didn't dare to sell any more prescriptions, so after he changed the prescription, he packaged the dried herbs into one by one, sold them directly to the Gu family, and went to him to get them after eating.

In the first few months, Yang Huiyun didn't do anything after taking this medicine, and her face was indeed much better, so she and her brother were relieved, and they had no doubt that there was anything wrong with this medicine.

Later, A-Niang was too thin, and several aunts who came to the house frowned when they saw it, and they all said that they should eat something with oil and water, but at that time, the family was already stretched, and they couldn't take out the money to add food to A-Niang, so she and her brother could only ruthlessly slaughter the big flowers and small flowers to make up for A-Niang's body.

During that time, Aunt Wang and Aunt Chunhua would occasionally secretly take one or two eggs to supplement A-Niang's nutrition, not many times, but A-Niang's face was finally a little bloody, no longer as pale as in previous months, and she was also thin as if a gust of wind could blow away.

Just when Gu Changning felt that A-Niang's situation was getting better and better, A-Niang had a miscarriage without warning.

Everyone said that this was because she didn't raise it well in the early stage of pregnancy and couldn't sit still, but Gu Changning and her brother didn't suspect it, and even Yang Huiyun herself felt that it was the reason.

But it wasn't until Gu Changning grew up that he recalled this time countless times, and there was always a doubt in his heart, did A-Niang really have a miscarriage because she didn't take care of her body in the early days?

Now in her life, in addition to preventing Dr. Li's family from making things bad, she also has to try her best to earn more silver taels back, even if the silver taels can't be earned for a while, then she has to find a way to let Ah Niang eat some good ones.

Big Flower and Little Flower reminded her that she could start raising chickens when they broke their shells, and when these chickens grew up, they could be used to make up for A-Niang's body!

Yang Huiyun didn't know her plan, and thought that Gu Changning wanted to raise chickens to lay eggs and then sell them, so she didn't say anything.

Now with the current situation of their family, raising chickens is also a way to live.

Yang Huiyun is still planning to wait for her to get better, so she will come back to do some embroidery work, the cloth shop in the town is short of embroidered embroiderers, and her embroidery is also one of the best in Xinghua Village.

In any case, there are still five acres of land at home, and the annual rent of 20 percent is at least 200 catties of rice, although it is not enough for the family to eat for a year, but the family still has 800 catties of grain storage, of which 600 catties of grain storage is the new rice that was harvested last year, and 200 catties of grain storage is the old rice that has not been eaten the year before last, adding up to at least three or four years There is no need to worry about staple food.

It is precisely because of these 800 catties of stored grain that Yang Huiyun can strengthen her belief and let her son continue to study.

She also thought that in two years at most, when Gu Huai'an was fourteen, she could go to the Xiucai examination, once she won the Xiucai, even if she was not a student, she could open a school by herself and live by collecting bundles.

If you don't win, it doesn't matter, Gu Huai'an can also go to a big family to be a bookkeeper, in short, people who can read and write, there is one more way out.

Yang Huiyun had planned everything in her heart, but Gu Changning had already begun to act as well as move.

She turned to look at Yang Huiyun and said, "A-Niang gave me ten sons, and I'll go to Aunt Chunhua to ask for eggs now." ”

"Okay." Yang Huiyun looked at her daughter with a smile, and went back to the house to get twenty seeds for her, "I don't know how many copper plates are used to hatch eggs for chicks, I don't know how many copper plates a mother has, give you twenty Wen, you can look at it and decide when the time comes." ”

"Okay!" Gu Changning put away the copper plate and nodded, and went to Aunt Chunhua's house neatly.

Aunt Chunhua was cooking dinner at home at this time, Xing'er was sitting on the edge of the yard with a small pestle and choosing vegetables, and Gu Changning was the first to see Xing'er when she came over.

"Xing'er, is Aunt Chunhua busy?"

Xing'er heard the voice and looked sideways, and found that it was really Gu Changning, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Well, my aunt is cooking, it's really you, I thought I heard it wrong, why are you here?" Coming to my mother? ”

They had just been separated for a while, and when everyone was together, they didn't hear Gu Changning say that they had something to do with her aunt, and they were quite curious when they saw her suddenly appear.

"Well, didn't you say before that Aunt Chunhua had prepared a few nests of eggs to choose? When I got home, I found my old hen nesting on dry straw, so I thought I might as well get a nest of eggs to let it hatch, so I came to Aunt Chunhua and wanted to buy some eggs with her. Gu Changning explained the meaning of the intention in a few words, and saw Xing'er put down the dishes in her hand and led her to the kitchen.

"So that's the case, it should be no problem, my aunt is going to choose twenty eggs, and we can't eat the rest at home, and we must sell them, you don't have to worry." Apricot turned her face to her and said that she was very familiar with the way to the kitchen, and she wouldn't fall even if she didn't look at the road.

However, Gu Changning saw that she kept going back to talk to herself, afraid that she would trip over the stones on the ground, so he hurriedly persuaded her to look at the road.

The two talked like this and went to the kitchen of Xing'er's house, Aunt Chunhua was busy adding water to the stewed chicken in the pot, when she saw her daughter coming in with Gu Changning, she looked at Gu Changning with surprise and said, "Ningning, why are you here?" Is your aunt looking for me for something? ”

It's normal for Aunt Chunhua to ask that.

She has visited Yang Huiyun several times in the past month and a half, and knows that the person in charge of cooking now is Gu Changning, and it is almost time to eat at this time, Gu Changning suddenly came to their house, there must be something.

And Yang Huiyun has been widowed for less than three months, so she should pay more attention to avoiding suspicion, and it is not suitable to go out at will, Gu Changning is still a child, and adults are not so shy about her, so Aunt Chunhua mistakenly thinks that Gu Changning came to the door sent by Yang Huiyun.

Although Aunt Chunhua didn't guess correctly, she guessed eight

Nine is not far from ten.

"Aunt Chunhua, it's not my aunt looking for you, it's me who has something and wants to discuss it with my aunt." Gu Changning stood by the stove with Xing'er, looked at her and said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Chunhua was a little surprised when she heard this.

"That's the case......" Gu Changning was just about to speak, but Xing'er, who was in a hurry, couldn't wait, and quickly took over the topic.

"Auntie, Ning Ning wants to hatch a few chicks like us, and she came here to buy eggs that can hatch chicks from you."

"Is that what happened? I thought something was wrong with your serious expression. After listening to her daughter's words, Aunt Chunhua knew that it was not a big deal, and said with a sigh of relief, "This is no problem, my aunt just got a few nests of eggs back, and I will definitely choose the easiest eggs for you to hatch." ”

Gu Changning bent his eyes and smiled: "That's really thankful for my aunt." ”

"How many eggs do you want?"

"Well, before I went out, my mother gave me twenty copper plates, I don't know how many eggs I can buy." Gu Changning took out the copper plate as he spoke.

"Eggs are all for a penny, and twenty pennies can buy twenty." Aunt Chunhua didn't say anything polite to her, and directly told her the price of the eggs.

Friendship is friendship, transaction is transaction, she has always been very clear, since Gu Changning said to buy it with her, then it will be calculated according to the market price.

"A penny? But that's not ......" Gu Changning was stunned for a moment, knowing that Aunt Chunhua still gave her a bargain, the eggs that are usually eaten are all a penny a piece, this is an egg that can hatch chicks, and it stands to reason that the price should be higher.

"My aunt only hatches one nest of eggs, and the rest are not ordinary eggs." Aunt Chunhua smiled.

For eggs that don't need to hatch, it doesn't matter if they are eggs or not, they are all eaten anyway, so she naturally calculates the price of ordinary eggs.

"That'...... Thank you, auntie. Gu Changning hesitated for a moment, and thanked Aunt Chunhua, "Now that my brother is going to study, and A-Niang is pregnant with my younger brother, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of the chicks if they hatch too much, so I'm going to buy fifteen eggs." ”

Aunt Chunhua looked at Gu Changning, who was obviously much more mature than more than a month ago, sighed slightly in her heart, turned around and walked to the wooden table beside her, took a clean bowl, and said: "You can only see the eggs when the sun is strong, and the aunt will send it to you tomorrow at noon, it just so happens that the aunt just killed a chicken in the afternoon, I will serve you a bowl, you take it home and eat." ”

"No, no, no, no need Aunt Chunhua." When Gu Changning heard this, he waved his hand again and again, "You have already calculated the eggs for me, I can't take your chicken anymore, otherwise I will be angry when I go back." ”

The peasant family can't eat meat a few times a month, although Uncle Dahai helps in the town, and earns more than farming, but their family is not rich, at most it is just enough to eat and wear, which is to rely on Aunt Chunhua to raise some chickens and ducks every year, make some bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets or something to accumulate some silver.

If A-Niang knew that she not only bought eggs cheaply, but also took a bowl of meat from someone else, she would definitely be angry.

"She dares!" Aunt Chunhua pretended to be angry and said, "What is she angry about, my bowl of chicken is not for her, it is for the child in her belly, she can't eat it herself, but don't starve the child!" ”

As soon as Aunt Chunhua said this, Gu Changning suddenly couldn't say anything to refuse.

She still remembers A-Niang's skinny appearance in her previous life, and she is very afraid that A-Niang will not raise a good baby like in her previous life and break her body.

Thinking of this, she didn't refuse anymore, "Then thank you aunt." ”

Aunt Chunhua smiled again, and without saying anything, she filled the chicken and asked her to take it away.

In fact, most of this bowl of chicken still has a lot of bones, no matter how much Aunt Chunhua wants to help Yang Huiyun, it is impossible to leave her son and daughter alone and pick out all the meat for her, but even so, Gu Changning is already very grateful.

She decided to pick out the meat from the bones when she went back, and then the remaining bones could be used to make soup and drink it tomorrow.

Gu Changning, who had made a plan in his heart, left the money to buy eggs and went home happily, Xing'er looked at Gu Changning's departing back, her mouth pouted, and she looked at Aunt Chunhua with an unhappy face, "Auntie!" It's rare for our family to eat meat once, and you still picked so many out! ”

His eyes were a little red.
