Chapter 24: Booming

In the evening, Zhang Xing and his family gathered around the table, looking at the more than 70 taels of silver on the table, the expressions on the faces of Grandma Zhang, Zhang's father, Zhang's mother, and Zhang Tao were quite dreamy. And Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Lin have been shocked because of the afternoon, and they are still better. Grandpa Zhang stroked his beard with a smile, and his performance was relatively normal. Zhang Lin squinted his eyes, grinned, and smiled like a second fool, he couldn't see it. Brother Zhang looked at this, looked at that, and then took out a piece of maltose and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, sucking the sweet taste in his mouth, and thought to himself: The third sister is so good.

Grandpa Zhang waited for everyone to calm down a little before he spoke, "Because of Xing'er, we got so much money." Therefore, these 30 taels are used as a private room for Xing'er. Everyone has no objections," his eyes swept around, and saw that there was no objection from the family, but the corners of Zhang's mother's mouth moved, wanting to say that a little girl took such a large sum of money, which is not reassuring, in case it is lost or spent indiscriminately, it will not be distressed to death at that time. But she was never the one who took trouble at home, she listened to her parents-in-law and husband, and now she also didn't have the courage to refute her father-in-law, so in the end she still didn't say anything.

Seeing that everyone didn't object, he also knew the character of his daughter-in-law, so he ignored it directly, and then he dropped a bomb, "I decided to send Dong'er to study in a private school in the town, Lin Er is old and a little late to study, so I will send Lin Er to be an apprentice and learn a craft." In the future, it will be better than us digging in the soil. ”

"Send ...... Send to school, is this money enough? Hearing that she was sending her son to school, Zhang's mother was directly stunned, and the words in her heart blurted out. After she came to her senses, her face turned red, and it was not that she didn't want to send her son to school, but that her husband still had to treat his illness and send his son to school, and she was really worried that there would not be enough money.

Grandpa Zhang glanced at her, "I inquired before, and it costs about 1 tael of silver and 500 yuan a year." Our money can last for a long time, and we have no foreign debts now, and the money we earn is our own. Da Zhuang's family, you don't have to worry about money, you just need to take good care of Da Zhuang and the children. Well, who has any questions?. ”

At this time, Zhang Xing spoke: "Grandpa, let the eldest brother also go to study, although the eldest brother is 11 years old and a little late, even if he can recognize some words and understand some reason, it is good." Even if you can't study in the future, whether it's an apprenticeship or something, you can be regarded as having something better than others. When she saw her grandfather just now say that she would let her younger brother go to study, envy flashed in the eyes of the second brother. When I went to sell ginseng in the county, I passed by the academy in the county, and the second brother looked inside several times, and the longing in his eyes was sad to think about. And, at 11 years old, it's not too late. Thinking of his tragic ending in his previous life, she wanted him to live a smooth and comfortable life in this life, which is also Zhang Xing's wish, isn't it.

Hearing his sister's words, Zhang Lin raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhang Xing, his mouth opened and closed, and he wanted to refuse, but he couldn't stop the desire in his heart.

Zhang Xing smiled at him soothingly, and then turned his head to look at Grandpa Zhang, "Grandpa, these 20 taels are for the second brother and the younger brother to go to school." I only need 10 taels to suffice. Grandpa and second brother, you don't have to worry about money, I have grown up now, and I can catch some pheasants and hares on the mountain, and then we will take them to the county to sell, which is also an entry. And the litter of rabbits I found today, mother, you are usually at home, help raise it, there can be several rabbits in a litter, raise it, we can continue to sell for money. ”

"And the eldest sister, in the morning when I bought embroidery thread for the eldest sister, I also watched the show work of other people, I feel that the show work of the eldest sister is not worse than theirs, the next time I go to the city, I will take the show of the eldest sister to the embroidery village to ask, see if people accept it. Or the eldest sister can also take on some embroidery work, which is also an entry. ”

Finally, she smiled playfully: "I'm so lucky, maybe I can pick up another ginseng sometime." ”

Grandpa Zhang was funny when he heard it, and scolded with a smile: "What you think is beautiful!" ”

Listening to his daughter pulling all the family over and arranging the work, now except for his son who is going to study, the family only spends money and can't make money, Zhang Dazhuang feels that he is a burden, although he has felt guilty because of his body all these years, but there has never been a moment when the guilt comes violently and violently.

Zhang Xing caught a glimpse of his face, and hurriedly said, "Dad, you are still weak now, so I won't arrange a job for you." In the future, when you are in good health, you and your mother will raise rabbits at home, and you can do more to make up for what you are lacking. Maybe when the time comes, your father will earn the most money at home. ”

Zhang Xing touched his pulse when he helped his father get out of bed today, he was born weak, there was no big problem, as long as he recuperated well, it was okay to go out to bask in the sun and do some light work. Now she has no way to directly reveal her medical skills, and she still needs to take advantage of other doctors to treat him before she can secretly use her hands and feet. At that time, my father's health was better, and the work of raising rabbits was relatively light, which was just right for him. In this way, he will not be able to find a job, so that he will not have the kung fu to think wildly, and he will not be tired. Very good.

Although he knew that his youngest daughter was comforting himself, Father Zhang still had a smile on his face.

The little sister said lightly, but Second Brother Zhang was still a little worried, "I ......"

Zhang Xing directly interrupted him: "What am I, second brother, you just need to remember, you and your younger brother must study hard and get ahead in the future, my sister and I will still count on you and my younger brother to support us in the future." As he spoke, he glanced at the little brother who was looking at everyone with a cute face, and added, "Second brother, you have to watch the little brother well, don't let him patronize and play." ”

Hearing the third sister lift herself, Junior Brother Zhang immediately straightened up his small chest, "Third sister, don't worry, I will study hard and support you and the eldest sister in the future." ”

Zhang Xing teased him, "Remember to earn an old feudal lord for grandma!" ”

"Hmmm! Earn an old title for grandma! Brother Zhang nodded, his expression was serious, but his bun face, as well as his cheeks with a high and low cheeks, destroyed this seriousness, which only made people want to laugh.

Grandma Zhang couldn't help laughing anymore, and hugged her grandson to her knees: "Grandma's good grandson, why is it so painful, let grandma kiss her well." ”

Grandpa Zhang looked at Zhang Xing and smiled with satisfaction again. This granddaughter of herself, if she is a male baby, she must be a character in the future.

*

A year has passed in a hurry, as long as you open the door of Zhang Xing's house, you can find that this small courtyard is full of vitality, just like the days of Zhang Xing's house, thriving.

The courtyard of Zhang Xing's family has been renovated, except for a vegetable patch. A new pomegranate tree was planted, this pomegranate was found by Zhang Xing in the mountain, and in the first year of transplanting to the yard, it bloomed in summer and hung fruit in autumn, and now it has become a scene in the small courtyard.

On the west side of the yard, Zhang Xing and his grandfather made a rabbit nest out of wood and stone, which raised more than 50 rabbits, and it took about 4 months to raise a batch. This also made Zhang Mu's waist straight, and she seemed to be angry when she spoke.

The four mud houses have also been renovated, and the inside has changed greatly, not only adding a few pieces of furniture, but Zhang Xing also ordered a few walls made of wood from the carpenter. As soon as the wall is nailed, the whole room immediately gives people a clean and tidy feeling, which makes the people who live in it feel comfortable.

After a year of Zhang Xing's conditioning, Zhang's father can already go out to bask in the sun, and occasionally give Zhang's mother a hand and feed a rabbit a forage or something.

Since Father Zhang was able to walk around the yard, the smile on Grandpa Zhang's face and Grandma Zhang's face never stopped, and the two of them seemed to have been injected with spiritual energy, and they were several years younger all of a sudden.

And the biggest change is the second brother Zhang and the little brother Zhang, because the second brother Zhang is a little older in reading, he has been working hard, and he will read until late every night before resting; Although Brother Zhang does not have the hard work of Second Brother Zhang, he is smart and intelligent, and he can often draw inferences from others, and he is very liked by his master in the private school. After studying for a year, the two of them did not have the innocence of scholars, but more of the elegance of scholars, and Brother Zhang became more stable and no longer as jumpy as before.

Zhang Tao's show work has also been able to sell for money, although it is not much, but it is more or less an entry.

And Zhang Xing goes to the mountains every day, first to dig the trap to see if there is a harvest, and then to dig herbs, dig wild vegetables, she has a harvest every day, not only add a lot of meat and vegetables to the table, but also sell a lot of money every month.

She also found a place in the mountains where no one was there to pick up the kung fu of her previous life, and after a year of practice, her current skills, more than a dozen men can't get close.

She also took her sister to learn to read and write with her second brother and younger brother, and after pretending to be for 1 month, she finally got rid of the hat of illiteracy. Her learning speed can surprise Second Brother Zhang and Little Brother Zhang, and Grandpa Zhang beat his chest even more, but it's a pity that she is not a male baby.

Later, she took the opportunity to go to the county to sell game, went to the bookstore to buy some books, and brought in a medical book that she had collected in her previous life. When she returned, she told her family that she had found it at a small stall.

After a month of medical treatment, she began to slowly show her medical skills. At first, she slowly began to make all kinds of medicines from the herbs dug up from the mountains, and at first the family did not believe that she had learned to concoct medicinal materials in such a short time, thinking that she was playing around. But after she really cured Zhang Tao's cold, they began to slowly believe that she really knew how to heal.

And this medical skill is just that she found a medical book and studied it by herself for a month.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it!

On this matter, Brother Zhang also sighed: "Third sister, what else do you don't know?" You're here to fight people, right? ”

Then, if the family had a minor illness or pain, they all began to be treated by Zhang Xing, and Zhang Xing's reputation as a doctor gradually spread in Zhangjia Village.

But this society is more exclusive to women being doctors and showing their heads outside. Although Zhang Xing is relatively small now, and the farmers are not so particular, Zhang Xing does not intend to challenge the rules of this society. Therefore, she only sells medicines, such as bone-setting medicines, hemostatic drugs, mosquito repellent drugs and other drugs that can be used without diagnosis and treatment, she charges a low fee, and the medicine works quickly, so her reputation quickly spread. Now people from all four towns and eight villages love to come to her to buy medicine.

She was finally able to help Father Zhang regulate her body openly.

is also because of her medicine, although their family is booming, no one suspects anything, let alone says anything sour. And the better her reputation, the worse the reputation of Zhang Liu, who deceived her ginseng in the first place.
