CHAPTER XXV
After Zhao Jin negotiated with the shopkeeper, she said goodbye to the shopkeeper, she walked around the market and bought a bunch of daily necessities, and directly chartered a car to pull it, shopping is a woman's nature, even a cold woman like Zhao Jin can't escape the desire to buy, buy, buy. After purchasing, go to Mr. Wang's to pick up the pillar, the two of them got on the ox cart and went back to Zhaojia Village in a trance, the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village was heard to be more than a hundred years old, and several big men surrounded it in order to hug the thick trunk. The branches and leaves of the big banyan tree are luxuriant, and the elderly, children or women in the village like to take a cool nap under the tree to mend their clothes and take the soles of their shoes.
When Zhao Jin entered the village, she saw her grandmother Xia and several mothers-in-law in the village sitting under the tree chatting from a distance, including Zhao Huai's mother-in-law, Yao's, who was particularly good-mouthed, and Zeng, the butcher's shop proprietress who had a particularly hot temper.
In the blink of an eye, the cart ran past the big banyan tree, and several mothers-in-law looked at the bullock cart full of things, and their hearts were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. After the ox cart walked away, Yao raised his arm and touched Xia, who was in a daze. "Xia, isn't that the daughter of your fourth child, who just walked in front of you as if she didn't see it, looking at their car, she didn't say that she was honoring your grandmother, your grandmother is really shameless......" The Yao clan chattered endlessly, and several others also echoed it together, all persuading the Xia clan to show the majesty of being an elder. A few of them chirped and talked crookedly, Xia Shi heard it with a belly of fire, since she saw that cart of things, she had long been hungry in her heart, that cart of things could cost a few taels of silver, and when she was in charge of the house before, the money was tightly held in her hands. Just split up like this, I don't know how to honor my elders, it's really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, where did the money in the four rooms come from, it must be hidden privately in the division of money, and the division is also premeditated. Xia scolded Zhao Jin over and over again in his heart. "Xia's, the fourth child of your family is still lying on the bed, the girl in the fourth room of your family, where did she get the money to buy so many things." Zeng's face is not big enough, her family is relatively wealthy, although she is greedy, her family is not unaffordable, and it is not that her own things cannot be obtained.
Xia's heart was panicked, if there was no separation, the carload of things would not be hers, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was at a loss, and my heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching, but now it is the division presided over by the village chief, and there is a note to embarrass Lao Zhaotou, it is difficult to say whether he will take a break from himself.
"How can a stinky girl make money, I see that the origin of the things in that car is unknown and unclean, maybe it is because her father is going to hang up and find a buyer to sell herself, so I don't want to give such unclean things."
"It's really a virtue with her mother's broom, and the family is a money-loser." Xia scolded and packed up his things and left.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he put the cow rope on the trunk next to him, Zhao Jinzhu and the coachman unloaded the things, and Liu also came out to help when he heard the voice. After unloading the car, Zhao Jin arrived at a glass of water to quench the driver's thirst, and just after taking a breath, the coachman left. Zhao Jin returned to the courtyard, and the people in the other rooms of the Zhao family kept seeing them moving in and out, and they were a little red-eyed, and Zhao Jin didn't pay attention to it. When Zhao Jin arrived at the house, Liu blamed her, "Siya, why do you spend money indiscriminately, how much does it cost so many things." Zhao Jin replied: "Mother, the money is not saved, we have bought everything, and now we have the conditions to make our lives better." Liu felt that Zhao Jin had become more and more assertive since she recovered from her illness, and he couldn't say anything about her, but it was also good, and he would not be bullied in the future.
Zhao Jin took out a piece of the meat he bought at the market today, and handed it to Liu: "Mother, send this piece of meat to grandma, I saw the milk when I came back, and she must have complained that we have good things and don't know how to honor our elders." After Liu took it, he turned around and went to the main house to send it, and when he came back, his face was not very good-looking, but the meat was gone, Zhao Jin looked at her mother's face, and she didn't have to guess, it must be that her milk was not satisfied, and she felt that a large cart of things would send a small piece of meat, which was also embarrassing, and some people were insatiable and couldn't be satisfied, and they did their filial piety.
"Mother, this set of bedding, you change it for Dad, Dad has been lying on the bedding during this time, or it must be returned often, otherwise it is unhygienic, I think this cloth has good sweat absorption, it is more suitable for patients who have been lying for a long time, by the way, the doctor will come to see it tomorrow." Liu nodded in response, her mother is just easy to be cranky, and she doesn't know where to go at this time, just let her figure it out by herself.
Miscellaneous, I did buy a lot of things today, and when I packed up all my things, the sun was going west, and the pillar was holding a new bedding and new clothes, and her satisfied look made her feel that everything was worth it. After cleaning up, it's time to make dinner, Liu is already steaming rice in the kitchen, since the separation, Zhao Jin has changed his home to three meals, lunch and lunch have rice and sweet potato. Zhao Jin dealt with pork, today bought a total of ten catties, to give a piece over there, this piece should have five or six catties, the ancient sale of pork is the same as the modern countryside selling pork, the hair is not for you to deal with, I had to use hot tongs to burn the hair, then add two scoops of water to the vegetable basin, Zhao Jin took the kitchen knife, scraped the hair at once, and then rinsed it with water to wash the meat.
Zhao Jin plans to make a chili stir-fried pork, cut off a piece of half-fat and half-lean pork, first cut the pork into small pieces, and then cut off the chili. The pot was already empty, and the pillar was on the side to help light the fire, she asked him to heat the pot, wait for the oil to smoke, then put in the chili pepper and stir-fry, and then put in the meat after the pepper is pungent, stir-fry until the meat is a little browned, add other seasonings such as soy sauce, and after a while, the pot will be started.
After brushing the pot clean, Zhao Jin fried another green vegetable, then took out three eggs and cooked a plate of loofah egg drop soup. The family served the dishes, the bowls served the bowls, and several people had a dinner with Meimei.
The red sun is in the west, dyeing the white clouds on the horizon, and the fiery red sunset floats on the skyline. The village kept coming from the dog barking, from time to time a few loud sounds, the people of the village called the children who were playing to go home for dinner, and the Zhaojia Village in the evening was peaceful and warm. The dim glow slanted into the courtyard, casting a faint gold rim on the humble house. After the three of them ate, they packed up the dishes and chopsticks to eat in the yard, the pillar wrote on the ground with a branch, Liu sat in front of the door with an old dress to mend it, and Zhao Jin squatted on the steps in a daze. It seems like a long time since I've been in this era.,It's so long that I'm almost forgetting where I came from.,The previous life seems to be a dream.,Whether she exists or not seems to have no answer.。
I didn't want to, Zhao Jin went into the kitchen and boiled a pot full of water, ready to take a comfortable hot bath, The water was hot, Zhao Jin took a large wooden basin for bathing, scooped a basin of hot water, and took it to the house to take a bath. After taking a shower, washing her hair, and changing into that green dress, Zhao Jin suddenly felt refreshed all over her body, and her scalp was also a few pounds lighter, Nima, she only now feels good about wearing new clothes. After cleaning up the bathtub, Zhao Jin urged the pillar to wash it quickly, closed the door, and Zhao Jin dried his hair with a cotton towel to wash his face.
On the second day, as usual, Zhao Jin quietly got out of bed. She didn't plan to go to the town to wait for the doctor at home today, so she wrote the shopkeeper's plan by the way. When I walked into the kitchen, I had already decided last night that I was going to eat dumplings today, so the meat filling had been chopped. She took out a bag of white noodles, scooped out a large pot of white noodles, kneaded the dough, and sprinkled some dry flour on the cutting board to prevent the dough from sticking to the cutting board when she cut the dough later. First, the dough is kneaded into dough sticks, then the dough sticks are cut into dough pieces with a kitchen knife, and finally a thin dumpling skin is rolled out with a bamboo tube. After wrapping the dumplings, she boiled them in the pot, and she prepared a bowl of seasoning for eating dumplings. When it was almost good, the pillar and the Liu family also got up. Zhao Jin asked Zhuzi to eat quickly, today he was going to school alone, and she specially steamed a bowl of egg custard for him. Zhuzi went to school after breakfast alone, and Zhao Jin waited for Liu to finish eating. By the time they had eaten, it was already dawn. As soon as Zhao Jin cleaned up the house and took out the futon to dry, he heard someone outside the door calling him.
"Miss Zhao, is this Miss Zhao's house?" The person standing outside shouting Zhao Jin was none other than Su Cheng, the doctor of the Rejuvenation Hall. Yesterday, Zhao Jin told the doctor of Huichun Hall the address clearly, and asked Dr. Su to visit her father at home. Zhao Jin heard the voice, let go of the work in his hand, and walked out of the door.
As soon as Su Cheng arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he asked all the way from the entrance of the village, he was a little confused when he was older, he saw that it was Zhao Jin, and he was excited: "Miss Zhao, I finally found you." ”
Zhao Jin saw that Su Cheng was sweating profusely, and Dr. Su seemed to be too old, and felt a little guilty, so he hurriedly said: "It's really hard for you to catch the car all the way, let's go into the house and rest for a while." Introducing Su Cheng into the house, Zhao Jin called her mother, "Mother, the doctor is here." As soon as her mother heard the news, she hurriedly walked out, Zhao Jin asked Dr. Su to sit first, and then she went to boil water to make tea.
When she entered the house again, Dr. Su had already entered the room to see her father, he was sitting on the chair next to the bed, taking Zhao Laosi's pulse, touching his beard from time to time, and pondering. Then he went to look at Zhao Laosi's eyelids and patted his thigh. Zhao Jin didn't understand Dr. Su's intentions, and after a while, he signaled to go outside to talk, and Liu and Zhao Jin were waiting for what Dr. Su wanted to say. Dr. Su thought for a while and said: "His illness may have been caused by the severe blow at that time, I see that his pulse is stable and there is no major problem, and some other physical functions are fine, and he will wake up in a few days, but his legs and feet will be a little inconvenient after waking up." Liu asked excitedly, "Doctor, is it really?" Is my father-in-law really going to wake up? The doctor nodded, and after saying some precautions, he was about to leave, Zhao Jin gave him the consultation fee and sent him out.
