Chapter 111, Ermao broke his leg
It is said that the old man and Tian learned that Zeng Ruixiang was still in the school, and the Shen family was not at home, and the two did not delay, saying that they would still go to the school to find Zeng Ruixiang, and explained that the Shen family came back to the old house, Ziqing saw that the two of them looked wrong, and asked: "Grandpa and grandma, what is the urgency?" My mother went to help me find herbs for my cough, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while. ”
"Ermao was broken by someone, carried back, and is being treated. Your mother is back, let her go over and have a look. Tian said.
Ziqing was taken aback when she heard this, she didn't expect Ermao to really have her leg broken, but he was broken in his leg, and the old man and Tian ran angrily like Xingshi asking for guilt, what does this have to do with his own family? Could it be that she wants her family to pay for the medical expenses, but I'm afraid that Grandma really has this meaning, but there is no reason to ask for help, Ziqing is a little uneasy.
When Shen came back, he took the lentil root that he dug up from nowhere, and said happily: "It's okay now, if I can break the root, I will burn high incense." ”
"Mother, where can it be so easy, how many times." Ziqing couldn't bear to be too disappointed when Shen was there, and only after seeing that Shen had boiled the Chinese medicine before telling the old man about their coming, he asked again: "Ermao was broken leg, what does it have to do with our family, grandpa and grandma can't be angry with us if they are angry." You didn't see them like that when they came, I thought what happened to our family? ”
"Maybe, complaining that we shouldn't have driven Ermao away, if Ermao doesn't leave, maybe this won't happen. Maybe he also came to borrow silver, and this silver really can't help but borrow. Shen said.
"Borrow money? It's better to ask for silver. It's just that I've never seen such a hard way to borrow money, but it's as if we owe them hundreds of hangings. ”
"Your grandma has always been like this, and I can see it, with good food and drink all year round, and new clothes in all seasons, they can still find faults. It's not. After raising two and sending one away, he is still not satisfied, and this one is still his own. I don't think they will be very satisfied even if I move my family over, so I will definitely not be able to make the big head this time. But I can't say anything about it, forget it, I'll bring some broken silver over and take a look. After Shen finished speaking, he went to pick up a basket of eggs. He sleeved some broken silver again, and told Ziqing to leave after a few words.
Ziqing really wanted to go and see it. I had no choice but to be sick. was coaxing Ziyu boredly, when the doorbell rang again, Ziqing was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Kangping coming, and hurriedly introduced him into the house.
It turned out that this errand went well, Lin Kangping bought more than a dozen pieces of jade from local people, and they didn't know what it was, but they simply thought it looked good and bought it from foreigners and put it at home. Lin Kangping contacted the businessman who ran that line again. I don't say that this is jade, I only say that there is a use, how much you want, and you are ready to pick up the goods after the Spring Festival.
"It's so dangerous, I can't catch up if I go a few days late, and they are about to go home, or because of a typhoid fever, I will have to wait until next year to see them." This time, the jade has been shipped to the capital, and the young master still plans to open a market in the capital, and there are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital. Naturally, there are many riches, and the Wen family also has a certain amount of power in the capital, and Anzhou is just their old home. Even the old man spends most of the year in the capital. Lin Kangping said.
"Oh, that's great. I've been calculating your return date, and I'm worried that you won't find someone. It's good that things go well, I'm afraid that your hopes will be too great, and the greater your disappointment, now you can finally get your wish. ”
"No, this time the young master said to help me get out of the country, I will go to the capital in a few days, and I will come back after the year, your silver will help you earn fifty percent of the profits, listen to you, I will go to the tea farmers to buy the tea directly, the price is low and the quality is good, the foreigners really like it, let me help them bring some more in the future." This time I went to the tight schedule, and I didn't help you find any good things, next time. This is for you, I bought it from a foreigner. Lin Kangping's joy was self-evident, and he handed Ziqing a delicate cardboard box.
Ziqing took it and looked at it, it turned out to be a purple crystal brooch, it was really beautiful, Ziqing pinned it to her chest and asked, "Is it good-looking?" How much silver is this? My mother likes purple the most. ”
"I gave this to you, can you not mention the silver? As soon as I repay you, because of your reminder, I also earned a small amount of money. The most important thing is that I can get out of the country, you don't know how much grace this is for us as subordinates, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know if I would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, and some people don't have such an opportunity in their lives. I really can't tell how happy I am, Qing'er, thank you. ”
Seeing his expression, Ziqing suddenly seemed to think of something, but he was only ten years old, and he was still imaginary, and the other party was only fifteen or sixteen years old, so it shouldn't be possible. Then he said, "If you don't mention it, don't mention it, and my money is still with you." ”
After saying that, Ziqing coughed violently, coughed dryly, coughed so much that she couldn't breathe, her face was swollen and red, and it took a long time to ease up, thinking that the medicine should be decocted, and Lin Kangping helped her pour it out, Lin Kangping frowned when he saw it, and asked distressedly: "What is the problem, cough is not good for a long time?" ”
"Whooping cough since childhood, this is much better, when I was young, I loved to commit this disease when it was cold, which year I didn't make it four or five times, I could cough every time, I was much better in the past two years, and I was not so diligent, and I made it once or twice a year.
"You're still in the mood to laugh, or it's better if your thoughts are broken."
The two talked, Lin Kangping said goodbye, Ziqing said that when he came over after the New Year, his embroidery should be completed, and he would sell it before the year before and hand over the silver to him, and then he would follow the hitchhiker.
As soon as Lin Kangping left, Ziqing put away the brooch, Ziyu was already two years old, and looked at her, Ziqing fooled her with a piece of candy.
Shen and Zeng Ruixiang came back together, it turned out that Ermao dropped out of school and went home and refused to stay at home, Yan Village is close to Anzhou, there are such a group of lazy people in their village who are lazy and lazy to get together, wandering all day long in Anzhou City, learning to be a pickpocket, being a thief, going to the gambling house when he has silver, and stealing again if he loses. This night road will always meet ghosts, was caught by others, beaten hard, the other party is a big family, threatened to break Ermao's legs, to see if he can steal again, so the hand is heavier, the doctor has seen it, said that Ermao's legs are useless, and he can only walk lame in the future.
Chunyu hugged Ermao and cried to death, crying and complaining: "It's not all to blame for the second brother and sister-in-law, if my son still studies well in the school, where can there be today's disaster?" None of you can tolerate him, my poor son, what do you want your mother to do with you, how old are you, how can you support yourself in the future? ”
The old man was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Don't fart, Ermao can't stay on his own and wants to go home, who picked him up?" The two of you are not good at disciplining your children, and you are embarrassed to complain about others if you don't know what to do all day. Your second brother is embarrassed for him, who else will go if the reputation of the school is going to be ruined? You don't understand him, but you are talking nonsense here. Hurry home, don't bother me here. If you hit this child, you won't learn well, how many times have I said it, which of you listened? I think this is also a good thing, if you don't suffer a little loss and learn well, I'm afraid that there will be trouble in the future. ”
The old man was angry, and he wanted to take Chunyu and them home, Tian persuaded him for a long time, and the doctor said that it was not appropriate to move, so he stayed, saying that there was no need to go to Anzhou, and invited Langzhong from a nearby village, who was the best at bones, and it is said that Zifu fell from a tree when he was a child, and he also picked it up.
"Mother, Ermao was beaten in Anzhou, why didn't he stay in Anzhou for treatment, there are still more doctors in Anzhou after all? Why do you want to toss back to Anzhou after getting it back? Ziqing asked.
"It's not your aunt and aunt's father's good calculations, they can't spend their own money to see a doctor in Anzhou City? Bring the child back, isn't it your grandma and us? Hmph, it's okay, this time your grandfather made some sense, and he didn't spend a lot of money in total, so he was embarrassed to ask us. Shen said.
Ziqing was completely speechless.
After Laba, Zeng Ruixiang's school was also on holiday, and Zilu also went home, Shen remembered that he should go to Qiao Village to give a stomach gift, so he mentioned it to Zeng Ruixiang, and then went to discuss it with Zhou, after all, this is a matter of two families.
When I went to the old house, I saw that Zhou's mood seemed to be very good, saying that he had found a family for Ziping, and they would see each other in a few days. Shen was also happy for her when she heard it, but he still reminded her that she must tell Ziping first, so as not to be ugly if something happens at that time.
The belly ceremony was Shen and Zeng Ruixiang went together, Shen has always pitied Xia Yu, so he took advantage of this to prepare some more things, knowing that her family is not short of food, so he picked up some dried fruits, snacks, fabrics, shoes and socks, etc., and thought that it was going to be the New Year, and the weather was cold, so he simply bought a big fan of pork and a pig's hind leg, and the two of them did not walk, so they hired a car to detour to Anzhou. Tian was not at ease, so he had to follow and take a look.
Here Ziqing suddenly remembered the oranges in the back mountain at home, so he took Zilu to the back mountain with tools, and just opened the hole, Zilu was about to jump down, Ziqing quickly grabbed him, made the hole bigger, found some straw to fan the wind, and after a while, he put the straw into the hole, and the straw was not extinguished, so he let Zilu go down.
The oranges were still very well preserved, and Ziqing hurriedly found the small bamboo baskets that Zeng Ruiyu had already braided, and packed them in ten baskets, with a total of more than fifty baskets. Ziqing found red paper, cut it into small strips, and asked Zilu to write "perfect" and "all wishes come true". When the shopkeeper Zhou came to pull the gelding, Ziqing asked him to bring it over, saying that there was not much fruit in the first year, and it was a New Year's gift for the owner, and there should be a large number of oranges on the market next year, and then the price would be negotiated.
