Chapter 38 Ride the ox cart together
Because Rong Yue couldn't go to the ground, Li Xin taught two of the new colors to Grandma Dongzi, and asked her to go to the best garment store in the town to sell them, at that time, Fang Rong also said that it would cost at least two taels of silver to make furniture, and he hadn't said what materials were used, Li Xin took a look today, and found that the bed and tables and chairs were made of wenge wood, although the quality of the mahogany was not good, but it was already very good in the countryside, Li Xin also asked Fang Rong if the silver budget was going to increase?
Fang Rong nodded, but Dazhu said that it was enough, Li Xin had to give the money back from the side, money, for anyone is not enough to spend, helping you is not to help you is actually also duty, Li Xin has lived two lives and learned some human feelings, but he didn't expect that he would benefit a lot later.
Li Xin also heard from Dongzi that Rong Yue's parents were also living a poor life, her father had been relying on supplements since he was sick, and they were also displaced here a few years ago.
Fortunately, Rong Yue's mother has good handiwork, doing some sewing and mending to fill the family, Rong Yue's father worked as a private school in the village and collected some flour rice, but these ten miles and eight towns are poor and remote, and the half-grown children are used as laborers, even if they can be sent to recognize a few words, they have to go home to harvest rice or sow seedlings when they are busy with farming, and the family lives a tight life. Dazhu is indispensable to help them, and Grandma Dongzi also urges Dazhu to send some noodles and rice every month, even if she eats sweet potatoes by herself, and pulls Dazhu and says earnestly: "Don't feel at a loss, Hengzhu's family has raised such a good girl to our family, you can help a little bit, don't be estranged from your daughter-in-law because of external things." ”
Li Xin looked at Grandma Dongzi, her white temples and slightly hunched back, still looking energetic, and they all said that her face was kind and kind, which seemed to be not unreasonable. What a good mother-in-law in front of you, the family works together, what hurdles are not passable, they all say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, and when they meet reasonable, everyone thinks about each other, not the same life as a vast sky, how can there be so much quarrel over trivial matters.
Grandma Dongzi watched Li Xin carry the big basket and reached out to come over to help lift it, Li Xin was busy patting her body: "Grandma, I can beat you three of you, I have a lot of strength, don't worry." Grandma Dongzi smiled and reached out to wipe the sweat from Li Xin's cheeks.
Today, the oxcart was empty, Li Xin and Grandma Dongzi sat up, waited for a while, and then two people came, one is Qiuhua and the other is Chunhua, Li Xin gathered a large basket of herbs, these herbs are selected by themselves, dried, neatly bundled, and there is a faint medicinal fragrance in the sun.
Qiuhua glanced at the herbs in Li Xin's basket and wanted to reach out to play with them, but Li Xin hurriedly stopped: "Aunt Qiuhua, I also have a layer of mushrooms underneath, and it will damage the quality for a while, but it can't be sold at a price." ”
Qiuhua stretched out his hand in a daze, looked at Chunhua who was sitting on the side and said: "Chunhua niece, you see that if you marry someone, you have to learn like your sister Li Xin, not only married the most handsome and sturdy offspring in our Fangjia Village, but now they have invited the famous engineering team in the village to start the house, look at it, who has this blessing in these ten miles and eight townships, I see that Chunhua's niece is also very good-looking, and she will definitely be able to promise a good family in the future, how can it be worse than Li Xin's marriage, in the past, the aunt looked at the Fang family and the Chunhua sister stood together, It's all like a golden boy and a girl. Qiuhua looked at Chunhua with her head down, reached out and patted her mouth gently: "Look at my broken mouth, all the things that make people unhappy are not all in the past." ”
Chunhua said this to Aunt Qiuhua, and her heart became even more angry, during this time, I don't know what eye medicine Li Xin got for Fang Rong, and actually agreed to build a house, but my mother told herself that Fang Rong's stupid boy bought such a large piece of broken foundation to make a yard for no reason, and there should be no money, it has only been a few years, and he has saved enough money to build a house, although he really wants to go in and see what it looks like, but people are contracted and do not recruit casual workers.
Yesterday, when I finally mustered up the courage to go, Li Xin was still blocking the door: "Sister Chunhua, I am a big man who works here, you are an unmarried girl who is always walking around here, others gossip is not good, you see that the youngest young man here is also married, just now I saw her handsome daughter-in-law come to deliver food." ”
If he didn't listen to his mother's instigation at that time, he hung the eldest brother of the Fang family, but directly asked his mother to propose marriage, then now he is busy building a house, Brother Fang is handsome and can make money, Chunhua's heart will be colic for no reason every time he thinks of this, he must find a way to make Li Xin and the second dog better, Brother Fang is really, last time Li Xin was so shameless, he actually didn't take her off for some reason, isn't it the kindness of his grandfather? This person is dead, and that kindness has long gone with the dead, Brother Fang is really an elm head.
Chunhua twisted the handkerchief fiercely, Li Xin didn't see it, but she sneered in her heart: "You think I am your rival in love, your stumbling block?" Haha, you're all from the same village, how blind are your eyes? "Anyway, I and Fang Rong will have to reconcile sooner or later, when the time comes, how do you love me, as long as it doesn't get in the way of me, I can't see it and I don't bother.
At first, Qiuhua muttered a few words, but seeing that no one paid attention to her, she had to hold the eggs and some mushrooms in her basket tightly and close her eyes to recuperate.
When he arrived in the town, Li Xin and Grandma Dongzi went separately, Grandma Dongzi went to the ready-to-wear store, Li Xin went to Baorentang, and made an appointment with Grandma Dongzi to meet in Baorentang.
Today, Baorentang's business is still prosperous, Li Xin waited for a while, and the shopkeeper was empty, and the shopkeeper came over to look at Li Xin and asked with a smile: "Is the girl asking for a doctor or taking medicine?" ”
Li Xin pointed to his nose and said with a funny face: "The shopkeeper is me, the one who sold you wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, didn't you say that there will be good things to give you here in the future?" It's really a noble person who forgets things, and I'll bring you good things again today. ”
The manager stared at him with wide eyes for a while before he suddenly realized and patted his thigh and said, "It's you, it's you, you've lost a lot of weight, I don't recognize it at once." ”
"It's not your prescription, your prescription has worked," Li Xin praised people's skills, which are a set of sets.
If it's really good, everyone loves to hear it, and the manager nodded and said, "This time the eldest sister took something." Li Xin patted his basket. Place the herbs on the countertop.
The person in charge looked at these herbs and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the eldest sister also knows medicine." ”
