Chapter 144: You're Not Anymore
But Fang Rong just walked his own way, and he didn't look at Li Xin again, but when he encountered uneven ground, he reminded Li Xin to pay attention to his feet.
"The medicine I gave Aunt Hanmei, I'll say I dug it myself in a while, and you can pretend to be the same thing." Li Xin reminded.
"Good!" Fang Rong still cherishes words like gold.
"The silver for buying medicine was earned by myself, and I let Xiaobao keep it when you gave it, after all, if you and Xiu Hanxi want to go to live in the town in the future, Xiaobao must also have his own private money in case of emergency."
Li Xin felt the need to explain that he was really not a loser, well! Even if he is a loser, he will lose his own money, but it has nothing to do with Fang Rong.
"It's okay to use that silver, the money earned is spent, and besides, it's the place to spend it, you don't have to explain everything."
Fang Rong said and stepped forward to buckle Aunt Hanmei's door.
After a while, a loud voice sounded in the room: "Coming, coming." Aunt Hanmei's voice sounded much more vibrant than before.
Aunt Hanmei opened the door and saw Fang Rong and Li Xin, and hurriedly pulled Li Xin excitedly: "Come in, child, you see that my eyes have improved a lot after taking your medicine, but I had to get close to see it before, but now I can see it clearly from a little distance." ”
Aunt Hanmei's tone was full of excitement.
"Yesterday, Shen Qiuhua bought all the half-sized chickens, but I also left you an old hen."
Saying that, Aunt Hanmei touched under the pillow for a long time, and found a handkerchief, which contained some broken silver, and it was estimated that there should be one or two taels.
Aunt Hanmei rubbed the silver repeatedly with her hands, and after a while, it was all stuffed into Li Xin's hands and said, "Child, I'm blind and not blind, I've asked several others, and they all told me that my thin land was dug up with the help of you and Xiaobao with a hoe."
You were able to sell so many chickens and eggs yesterday.
I haven't seen so much silver in my life, but you take these, this is the savings that my wife has saved for a lifetime, and it may not be enough to ask for money, so don't dislike it. ”
Li Xin stuffed the silver back into Aunt Hanmei's hand and said, "Auntie doesn't want to give me an old hen?" ”
"Give, give, can you not give it, I deliberately kept it for you." Hanmei pointed to the two old hens tied in the cage and said.
"I took it away unceremoniously for a while, you put this silver, it's convenient to buy anything in the future, if your grandson or granddaughter comes, you can buy a snack or something, and you can have it loose." Li Xin comforted her old man.
"Grandson, granddaughter?" Aunt Hanmei muttered, then wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and said, "I'll make you tea." ”
"I'm not busy, auntie, I'm just delivering medicine, this medicine is a pair to drink for a day, you fry it in the morning, and drink it as water all day long.
You can fry it twice, and use this jar to decoction the medicine, which is stronger than your teapot, which I cleaned when I cleaned the house.
I don't know when I had more of this, I put it there to accumulate dust, so I brought it to my aunt, you see I also wiped it clean. ”
Li Xin said as he took the jar from Fang Rong's hand and handed it to Aunt Hanmei.
"This medicine money, jar money?" Aunt Hanmei is a little at a loss, Aunt Hanmei's heart is mirror-like, who has surplus things to put there and accumulate dust now.
"That aunt won't go and catch an old mother for me, Xiaobao has boiled all the water at home, but she is waiting for me to go back with the old hen." Li Xin said half-jokingly.
"I'll go, I'll go." Aunt Hanmei hurriedly went to the chicken coop to find the largest old hen and handed it to Li Xin.
"This is an old hen of more than three years, the soup is the best, and I also packed a basket of eggs, you can take it back later." Aunt Hanmei really wished that all the decent things at home were pulled away by Li Xinpao.
"Well, okay! Auntie, you're going to pick the big one. Li Xin is not polite, because Li Xin knows that he is polite at this time, but it makes the old man unable to let go of his heart, so he simply pets you, I will accept it.
Li Xin took the opportunity to look around Hanmei's house, although it had been repaired a lot, Li Xin saw at a glance that the bowl was also notched, and the quilt was estimated to be covered with the same quilt in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Li Xin took advantage of Aunt Hanmei's time to catch the old hen, and reached out to touch the cotton wool on the bed, which was very thin and almost no cotton wool.
Li Xin can be sure that this quilt can only be said to have a quilt at home, but he really can't count on keeping warm.
However, Li Xin also withdrew his hand quietly, and didn't say anything, but all this fell into the eyes of Fang Rong, who was standing on the side.
"Then let's go back first." Li Xin was carrying the blue egg, and Fang Rong was holding an old hen.
"Okay, how nice the two children are." Aunt Hanmei smiled and shook her hand with Li Xin.
Li Xin turned around and said to Fang Rong: "Don't be upset, my aunt is widowed and doesn't go out, so naturally she doesn't know that I am notorious, and I don't know about your newcomer, so she will say that." ”
Fang Rong listened to Li Xin's explanation and didn't speak, but there was an unspeakable grievance in his heart.
"Anyway, what are you all doing, don't you get a new quilt, a new blanket or something?" Li Xin asked tentatively.
"Would you like to get some old bedding from home for your aunt?" Fang Rong guessed that Li Xinzhun was playing this trick on himself.
Li Xin also nodded without hesitation and said, "I also want to buy a new one, but every time I go to my aunt, I won't go home empty-handed."
The aunt is thin-skinned, and if she gives her a new one, she has to give silver or remember it for a long time, don't worry, take your old one, I will buy a new one and replace it with you when I go back to the town, and you won't lose anything. ”
"I didn't mean that, maybe Aunt Hanmei wants more than that." Fang Rong looked at the hen in his arms and said.
"I know, but there are some things I can't do, I only do what I can, and if doing good is far beyond my ability, I lose the joy of doing good." Li Xin said with a smile.
Doing good deeds is only within the scope of one's own ability, and if it exceeds one's own ability, it will be difficult for oneself, but it will not be good, Li Xin knows this truth very well.
"You're not you anymore." Fang Rong said again thoughtlessly.
Li Xin listened to Fang Rong's words that seemed to be pointed, and smiled awkwardly, but he was cheering himself up in his heart, he must be stable, and he can't blow it up.
The rivers and lakes are evil, so let's lie down on the spot and let the bullets fly for a while.
Fang Rong returned to the courtyard and cleaned up the old hen neatly, and after Li Xin drained the old hen, he put angelica, rehmannia root, Sichuan Qiong, white peony, red dates, and ginger in the pot and stewed a pot of Cantonese soup.
Then Li Xin fried a plate of mushrooms and vegetables non-stop, and these shiitake mushrooms were picked up on the road when Li Xin came out of the forest.
After Li Xin cleaned it, he first stir-fried the mushrooms, scooped them up and put them in a bowl, and then fried the green vegetables with green onions, ginger and garlic.
Fang Rong looked at the shiitake mushrooms on top of the greens and asked, "You will grow this mushroom next year, right?" ”
