A few days after the Duanyang Festival, the long-awaited wild strawberries of Lily ripened one after another, and she had to go to the mountains early every morning to see a circle.

Wild strawberries are the size of a fingernail, and they are red and white, the white ones are the most delicious, sweet and delicious, and the red ones have a slightly sour taste. Unlike raspberries, wild strawberries are more likely to be crushed and crushed, and lilies dare not be greedy, so they only pick half a basket and go home.

You can pick only the fruit of the raspberries, but it is better to pick the wild strawberries with the stems together, and tie about twenty or so plants into a small handful, and put about fifty or sixty handfuls at the bottom of the basket, and cover them with poplar leaves, so as not to cause the sun to burn.

To Lily said that she had eaten a lot of large strawberries artificially cultivated in the greenhouse in her previous life, and neither they smelled nor tasted, but they were not as delicious as this small wild strawberry.

It has a short season and withers quickly, so it doesn't last long to eat, so it's rarer than raspberries.

Lily put three or four wild strawberries in a small basket and took them to the roadside to sell, which was more expensive than the raspberries. Passers-by smelled the fragrance of wild strawberries from afar, and they were very intoxicated, thinking that the price was higher, but after all, this thing was rare, and they accepted it after a little hesitation.

After half a day, the wild strawberries will change color and taste, and the lilies will not only be delayed for a long time, but they will be sold out before the hottest time in the afternoon, leaving only two handfuls for apricots and two handfuls for spring.

Today's weather is about to suffer from heat stroke if you are not careful, the sun is spicy on people's backs, cicadas are screaming in the treetops, morning and evening are fine, and people are upset and irritable when it comes to noon.

Lily is very careful about her body and drinks a large bowl of warm water when she goes home. Standing in the cool kitchen, the sweat on her body slowly dried, and she felt less hot.

Everyone at home is like this, not to mention Song Haonian, who works on the grange, every day when she comes back, her undershirt is **, with a layer of salt crust on it, and she doesn't know how much sweat she sweats a day to be like this.

Song Haonian also joked with Lily: "Scrape this salt down and save it, and our family won't have to buy salt miles in the future." ”

Lily was worried, for fear that he would suffer from heat stroke while working, and told him every day to drink more water and pay attention to sun protection.

Later, I found out that Song Haonian had promised well, and when she turned her head, she was tanned, what else did she not understand? She went to the market to buy a straw hat and asked him to wear it no matter what, and he was not allowed to wear dark clothes to work.

Buy a few feet of thin and breathable linen back, ask Li Caifeng to paint a good look, cut the hem by himself, sew two pockets, make a sleeveless shoulder, and tell him to wear it when he is working.

Song Hao wore it for the first time and felt that he was not used to it without sleeves, but as soon as he worked, his armpits were windy, which was very refreshing, and he knew the benefits of this dress immediately. Within two days, all the companions on the Grange were all in good clothes, and in a few days, the men of Aoyagi Town were already one in their hands.

Unconsciously led a trend, Song Haonian was still stunned, turned back to Lily and said, "Why does everyone learn your craft?"

There were no sleeves on the shoulders, it was cool, his two arms were red, and Lily felt distressed when he saw it, and he opened up to protect him from the sun.

Now Song Haonian is gone: "I'm a big man, how can I be as pretty as you women, the black spots are good, and I show my might." ”

He hadn't forgotten that he wasn't majestic enough!

Lily was so angry that she fell back and said angrily: "You are dark enough, and if you bask in the dark, you are afraid that I will see you when the black light is blinding?"

If it gets darker, she really can't find this person in a dimly lit place.

Fortunately, although his arms were black and red, there was no skin and rash, and Lily slowly relaxed, after all, she couldn't develop sunscreen these days, and she couldn't keep her husband at home and not let him go out to work, so she had to go with him.

This is the end of the tanning thing, and Lily has not forgotten that people who do farm work are prone to heat stroke. It's fine when it's windy, but if there's no wind on the day, it's really no different from a big steamer, it's stuffy and hot, and even the cows and mules are wilting, not to mention the people.

Just telling Song Haonian to drink more water is not enough, people sweat a lot and have to replenish salt, Lily mixes a pot of light salt water every day to bring him, and tells him to drink this in the hottest afternoon.

Salt water is not as sweet and refreshing as clear water, Song Haonian was reluctant, drank it for two days and felt good, people are more energetic, and came back to Lily to say that he shouldn't believe in his daughter-in-law, and sure enough, his daughter-in-law has a way.

Only then did Lily know that this person had a bad idea two days ago and wanted to secretly pour out the light salt water, and finally pinched his nose and drank it because he was distressed that the price of salt was not cheap.

Song Haonian was pinched by Lily again, he felt that his daughter-in-law didn't hurt at all when he pinched someone, Lily pinched his fingers sore, and he was still laughing: "Left left, a little further left, it's itchy there." ”

Two days later, Lily took half a basket of wild strawberries to Liufu to find Aunt Sheng, what she wanted to ask didn't even know Li Caifeng, I'm afraid only Aunt Sheng knew a thing or two.

Wild strawberries are rare, and the eldest lady also loves to eat, so she picked a handful of white ones, and the rest called the girls a point, and said to Lily: "It's hard for you to have a heart, and we are always remembered at both ends for three days." ”

There is a gap in the identity of the two people, although they are good friends, Aunt Sheng will not give Lily things at two ends in three days, so as not to raise her heart, and it will not be easy to get along in the future.

Lily is the one with a low status, so naturally there is a little good thing to think about being promoted to the eldest mother. And Aunt Sheng only needs to mention her a few words at an important time, which is the benefit of their friendship.

For example, Liu Rulong's incident, if it weren't for Aunt Sheng's mediation, I'm afraid that it would be difficult to understand, and Master Liu would still give Xiaoxiu a head start. For example, asking Song Haonian to work on the grange, in Sheng's aunt is just a casual thing, in Lily, it is a big thing to be able to support the family.

Lily didn't have something to ask for a promotion to the eldest mother this time, she knew that it was boring to use too much human affection, and she didn't dare to bother the eldest mother when she was idle and trivial, but said: "This time I am asking the eldest mother to teach me something." ”

When Aunt Sheng heard that she was not here to ask someone to do something, her face was relieved, and she smiled: "Who in the town doesn't know that you are clever? Lily pursed her lips and smiled, "It's the New Year they work on the Zhuangzi, I'm afraid he will suffer from heat stroke, there is only one man in the family, if he falls, I really have nowhere to cry,

I just want to ask my aunt, what is there to drink, so that people will not suffer from heat stroke?"

Aunt Sheng patted her thigh and smiled: "If you ask me, you will ask the right person." ”

When she was young, she followed Master Liu to the county seat and provincial capital to serve the master's exam, keeping warm in winter to prevent her hands from freezing, and cool and nourishing to prevent heat stroke in summer.

"In this weather, you can't get tired of eating hot food, it doesn't matter, you take the meat stew, skim the oil flowers clean, and then use chicken breast or gluten to absorb the debris, the soup is clear and clear, and people love to drink it. ”

Aunt Sheng suddenly remembered that Lily's family background was not very good, "If it's a daily mile, just take honeysuckle to boil water and drink." It doesn't matter if you have heat stroke, go to the pharmacy and buy a few pills and put them at home just in case, and eat two more herbs to ensure that the patient is alive!"

Lily couldn't help but nod her head, and asked a few more earthworkmen, and when Aunt Sheng sent her out, she smiled: "I'm going to dig out all my life for you." "You old man is well-informed, where can I ask you? It's because my aunt loves me that she is willing to teach me these things." Lily knows the etiquette, knows how to be grateful, and the eldest lady is naturally happy, and she takes more care of Yingchun when she looks back, and teaches Yingchun every day: "You don't want to see your eldest sister see people with a smiling face."

I think she's a bully, she's like this, it's the bright-eyed mile!"

Yingchun, this girl is so strong, her temperament is completely different from Lily, according to Aunt Sheng, it is not as good as Lily.

There is only one pharmacy in the town, the shop has the capital of Mr. Liu and several squires, the surname is Liu, known as Dr. Liu, who has some headaches and brain fever symptoms are willing to look for him, he is good at pediatrics, and the little doll is also looking for him with palpitations and fever.

When Lily arrived at the pharmacy, Liu Langzhong was checking the pulse of a woman, and said that the woman had lost her recuperation after giving birth and had some bleeding problems. She didn't dare to listen more, walked to the counter, and said to the little trick who grabbed the medicine: "Weigh two taels of honeysuckle." ”

Honeysuckle is one of the most common medicines, and pharmacies have a large amount of stock, so you can catch it without a doctor's prescription. The young man grabbed two taels of honeysuckle as he said, wrapped it in oiled paper and gave it to the lily, and instructed: "Don't eat too much at once." ”

After all, this thing is a medicine, not to mention the bitterness after eating too much, and it is not good for people's health, Lily knows it in her heart, thank you little man, and go home to boil honeysuckle water without mentioning it.

When Song came home in the next year, he smelled a smell of medicine first, and he was startled: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Lily smiled and shook her head: "Don't say I'm sick, this thing is for you to drink." ”

Song Haonian: "I'm fine, what are you doing with medicine?" He thought about it and thought crookedly, "Daughter-in-law, do you think I'm not brave enough lately, I'm not too tired, the weather is hot"

"Bah, bah, you shut up!" Lily was so anxious that her neck turned red, "What are you thinking!"

This person is really, when she is not careful, he thinks crookedly, and explains seriously.

"I'm afraid that you will suffer from heat stroke when you are working, boil some honeysuckle water, don't you think salt water is unpleasant, just change the taste. ”

Song Haonian wrinkled his face: "This is medicine, bitter!"

Lily smiled, "Put some sugar on you, it's all right." ”

Sugar can also replenish energy, and when added to honeysuckle water, it can not only make the taste better, but also play a role in nourishing the body like salt water.

Song Haonian was relieved, but he had to hold Lily at night to prove himself, Lily tossed him and sweated profusely, and finally hated to tell the truth: "You are too much" so she wanted to give him some fire medicine.
