Chapter 51: The Spring Rain Is Coming
The young man of Qingshan Village hurriedly recuperated for a few days, and finally waited for the order to serve in labor.
coincided with the cold of spring, Du Yingqiu hurried up the production of two thick clothes for Shan Erlang, the outer layer of material is wear-resistant, the inside is sandwiched with thick kapok, and there are knee pads at the joints, so I can't go home halfway, so I can only bring some with me.
Because Du Yingqiu embroidered well, the Jin family also asked her to prepare a pair for Shandalang, and the dry food of the two brothers was fully covered by the Jin family.
Shan Tao prepared a small medicine bag for the uncle and his father, most of the things in it were concocted by her going up the mountain, and she wrote a letter to ask the master before preparing them, most of them were cold wards, and there were some to stop bleeding just in case, although it was only a single medicinal material, it was better than nothing.
"Don't worry, there are so many big guys together, and they are going to Dahe Village, and they can help with it." Shan Erlang left home for the first time, but he didn't want the mother and daughter to worry too much, so he pretended to be relaxed and relieved, and told Shan Tao to take Sanzhu to study his homework when he was away.
Sanzhu, who just wanted to come to hug the second uncle, lowered his hand when he heard this, and his interest in the goose has decreased sharply now.
Shan Dalang patted Dazhu's shoulder, "Dad and second uncle are not at home, you are the only man in the family who has the best things, do you know how long you are?" ”
Dazhu nodded, patted his chest and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm familiar with the work in the field." ”
Farewell will come a long way, but fortunately, this place is not far away, and it only takes a few hours to walk, and the group set off under the leadership of the official with the package prepared by the family.
Before leaving, the official at the end of the team also gave Shan Tao a letter, which was sent by Miss Gao, saying that there was a good cook at home, and asked Shan Tao to go to the county mansion for snacks if he was free.
Pinching the letter, Shan Tao didn't have any intention of playing, and looked at the long line for a long time without coming back to his senses.
Although Yamajiro was not at home, Yama Tao still acted according to the previous schedule, got up early to practice guns, and then dragged Sanzhu out of the bed and took him to the study to read, and after lunch, he went to the mountains to look for herbs.
originally thought that Du Shi would not let Shan Chunhua follow her up the mountain again, but Du Shi saw that Shan Chunhua could bring back some wild vegetables, so he turned a blind eye, and just scolded without a word.
On the third day of the start of the labor, the aunt and nephew went down the mountain ahead of schedule, just because this year's spring rain was advanced.
The rain was not as dense as in the spring of previous years, it was a day and a night, intermittent but not stopping.
"Mother, I want to go to see my father and uncle, when it rains, they dredge the river, it must be more uncomfortable." Shan Tao, who was twisted by Du Yingqiu with a handkerchief, raised his head and said.
The sound of rain outside the window continued, and Du Yingqiu's heart was also a little uneasy, "Mother will go with you, I'll pack some things first, you go and ask your sister-in-law and your godmother, if there is anything you want to bring with you." ”
The two soldiers are divided into two ways, although the Jin family also remembers the mountain man, the big and small things in the family are also inseparable from the hands, and the uncle and daughter-in-law of Sun also have to bring the cat, and both of them have prepared some things for the mother and daughter to drag to their own men.
Taking advantage of the light rain, the mother and daughter put on their coats and rushed to Dahe Village with oil-paper umbrellas, the road was slippery and muddy, and when they arrived in Dahe Village, they were about to catch up with dinner.
Hearing the knock on the door, the uncle and grandmother of the Wang family came to open the door and was surprised, "Why are you two here at this time, the rain is so heavy, come in." ”
was greeted by two aunts and grandmothers into the back room, and it was hot water and a fire, and soon the body was warm.
"Uncle and grandma, my mother and I don't worry about my uncle and father, I want to come and see them." Shan Tao took a sip of hot water and eased his breath, "What about Uncle and Grandpa?" ”
"Go and lay it out. Speaking of which, the method your father gave is really good, the castrated boar tastes a lot less, and the bacon sells well. ”
I heard that the mother and daughter were worried, and the uncle and grandmother didn't keep them longer, and only let them stay for the night tonight.
Walking to the river, the river that was originally dry in winter has been moistened by today's rain, but it has not yet been renewed, and it is the best time to dredge it at this time.
At a glance, the people buried their heads in the river, or digging or back, did not rest because of the rain, but were added to the work, and under the shed next to the river stood two guarded officials, from time to time shouting a lazy resting person.
As soon as the mother and daughter approached, the sharp-eyed official came over, "What are you two doing...... Are you the one who sent the letter from Miss Gao? ”
It just so happened that the person in charge of this section was helping Miss Gao deliver the message, and Shan Tao immediately stepped forward to borrow the situation, "Yes, it's me." It's raining today, and I want to see my dad and relatives, and I'm tired of your big brother's accommodation. ”
Du Yingqiu stuffed some copper plates, and the man accepted the money and thought about the family and the county order, so he relaxed and agreed, "Go, don't delay them to catch up with work, don't delay it for too long." ”
It's really hard to find such a person, but Uncle Sun is sharp-eyed, so he found the two of them first, and raised his hand to greet: "Siya, we are here!" ”
Seeing his wife and daughter rushing over, Shan Erlang was surprised and delighted, "Why are you two here, how difficult the road is to walk on this rainy day, don't get caught in the cold!" ”
"It's only been three days, why do you look like you've lost weight......" Du Yingqiu couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she saw Shan Erlang's face, and she couldn't look at her body in her clothes, but only looked at the hands, which had already ground out blood blisters.
Uncle Sun and Shan Dalang looked at Shan Erlang's helpless appearance and helped him speak, "He hasn't used farm tools much before, look at the two of us, it won't hurt if there are calluses." This can't be medicated, you have to grind out the cocoon. ”
Shan Tao took out a water bladder mixed with ginger and honey, which was just hot at his aunt's house, and was still steaming at this time, "Dad, uncle, godfather, you all drink a few sips and go to the cold." ”
This ginger is still given by the godmother, and the mountain peach family does not prepare this spice for making tea.
In fact, everyone can make do with food and housing, but they can get by, but the three of them drank it one by one, and the heat in their stomachs instantly felt that their bodies were much warmer.
The people who were working the side were envious, especially the villagers in Qingshan Village, who were all looking at it with blank eyes, but they were embarrassed to open this mouth.
Feeling the warm eyes around him, Shan Tao whispered a few words to Du Yingqiu, and then said to his hometown: "We are in a hurry, and we will bring some hot water to share with everyone later." ”
"How embarrassing it is, you two are here to see your family." Although the villagers shirked in their words, they looked proud on their faces, and those who were not from Qingshan Village were even more envious.
"If you don't say that Siya is the blessing doll of our village, and she is sensible and filial, Shaner, you are blessed, your daughter-in-law is loving, and your daughter is sensible!"
Teasing Yamojiro with gossip, Yamanjiro smiled and squinted his eyes, and said where and where.
When the mother and daughter were about to leave, Yamajiro whispered something to the two, and looked at the upper reaches of the river, where there was a dike, which was the focus of this reinforcement, and it was not them who were responsible, but they also watched the passing mule cart carry the stone over.
"The stone they transported was wrong, and I went to see the embankment secretly with my grandson, saying that it was reinforced, and it was very perfunctory."
Receiving Yamajiro's gaze, Yama Tao understood what he meant, and wanted Yama Tao to use immortal magic to confirm the matter of the embankment reinforcement.
