Chapter Ninety-Seven: No Bones
When they returned home and saw that Changgen had returned safely, the family breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fell so badly? I don't know if it hurt the bones. Jiazhen looked at it and said.
Father Xu walked over with a cane and joked with a smile, "Changgen, you will be like me in the future, holding a cane all day long." ”
Nagane smiled at first, and then cried again.
"Changgen, what are you crying about, let's eat the food first, Fugui, you go to the neighboring village and invite that barefoot Langzhong over."
There is no Langzhong in Xujia Village, not even a barefoot Langzhong, but there is a barefoot Langzhong in the next village.
Although the level of medical skills is far inferior to that of Langzhong in the city, there should be no problem with the examination.
Xu Fugui immediately went to invite, and Changgen cried and said, "Mrs., master, I'm afraid I won't be able to work in the future." ”
Father Xu scolded with a smile: "You are the same as Laishun, you are all fools, you don't know how to enjoy happiness when you are old, just talk to me at home, no one asks you to work." ”
Changgen shook his head, "Let the young master feed so many of us alone, and the young master must not die of exhaustion." ”
"He deserves to die of exhaustion, who calls him a brute."
"Smack!"
Mother Xu slapped Xu's father on the shoulder, "Without Fugui doing business and farming outside, can you have food to eat?" ”
After speaking, he comforted again: "Changgen, let's eat first, as long as the people are complete, we are not afraid of poverty." ”
"Yes, yes, come to dinner, my father came back with a lot of food, Uncle Gen, you can taste it."
The tears on Changgen's face couldn't be stopped, so Lai Shun took a set of clean clothes for him to change, and took out a wet linen cloth to wash his face.
After a while, Xu Fugui led the barefoot Lang Zhong back, and after checking it, he said: "It shouldn't have hurt the bones, but at such an old age, don't do heavy work in the future." ”
When Changgen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, hehe laughed, and saw that the barefoot Langzhong wanted to bring him ointment and Chinese medicine, so he hurriedly refused, "No, no, it will be fine in two days, no need to take medicine." ”
Father Xu knocked the ground heavily with his cane, with a straight face, not angry and arrogant, and Changgen did not dare to speak again.
"Uncle Gen, you just have to rest for the past two days, don't think about working or anything." Xu Fugui instructed.
Changgen said in a pleading tone: "Young master, you can help me chop some fine bamboos and come back, I can still move my hands, and I can weave a few bamboo baskets or something." ”
Xu Fugui nodded helplessly, "Cheng, I'll cut a few thin bamboos when I have time." ”
Lai Shun suddenly remembered something, took out a handful of copper coins and fiat currency from his pocket, and handed them to Jiazhen, "Young grandma, give." ”
This is the money I got from selling lo-mei today, and all the money in the family is in charge of Jiazhen.
Jiazhen stretched out her hand and took it, "Come to Shun, just say it when you want to spend money." ”
There was still some time before it got dark, Xu Fugui and Lai Shun changed their dirty clothes, carried hoes and sickles, and prepared to do some work in the fields.
"Dad, I'll go with you." Feng Xia took the kite and followed him in a bouncing circle, while Ping An followed her with her tail wagging her tail.
"Feng Xia, wait grandma, you girl is really fast."
"Mother, why do you want to follow."
Mother Xu smiled and said, "I've been in the house for a long time and want to go out to bask in the sun." ”
Xu Fugui didn't refuse, anyway, the field was not far from their home.
When he came to the field, Laishun continued to cultivate on dry land, and Xu Fugui calculated that the paddy field would have to be ploughed again, and then composted and planted rice.
So he rolled up his trouser leg and stepped into the paddy field.
"Hiss......"
Don't look at the bright sun, but the water in the field is extremely cold, and he uses a plow and rake, step by step, to turn the soil in the field.
It's a lot of work, but it's a pity that there are no cattle at home, otherwise it would be much easier to plow the land.
If it weren't for his strength now, these paddy fields would really not be able to plow.
"Fugui, come to Shun, slow down, come up and drink saliva and rest for a while."
Mother Xu sat on the ridge of the ground, and after a while, she said distressedly.
Xu Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead, watched Feng Xia pick wild flowers everywhere and put them on the ridges, smiled slightly, and continued to cultivate, the sweat reflected the crystal light under the sun.
Suddenly, I heard Lai Shun cry in pain, and when I looked up, Lai Shun in the field threw away the hoe in his hand, hugged his right foot with both hands, and jumped around in pain.
Mother Xu hurriedly went over to take a look, and Laishun's right thumb was cut by a hoe with a wound of about two centimeters, and blood flowed out.
"You kid, I told you to slow down, slow down, now it's okay."
Mother Xu said reproachfully, and grabbed a piece of mud in her hand to plug the wound.
"This place is the most nourishing, there is a wound, a muddy paste, and it will be fine in two days."
Lai Shun grinned and put his right foot down, "It's really not bleeding." ”
"Go sit and drink saliva, rest for a while, the strength is not like this, it is easy to hurt yourself."
Xu Fugui straightened up and said with a smile: "Come Shun, don't learn from me if you work, I can hoe fast, but I know it won't fall on my instep." ”
"How long have you been working, farming, it's a water mill, you have to learn it slowly."
Lai Shun muttered: "Young master, it seems that you have been planting for a long time." ”
Xu Fugui laughed, "I used to see how much others planted, and if I saw more, I would be able to do it myself." ”
Xu Mu pointed at him with her finger, and said with some hatred: "Fugui, you have a very bright brain, but you like to play too much." ”
"If you had studied seriously with Mr. Private School, maybe you would have been able to earn back the more than 100 acres of land that your father lost."
Xu Fugui walked to the ridge and took a breath, "Mother, what are you saying wrong, what is that bullshit private school teacher teaching?" There is no use for fart. ”
"He teaches the Four Books and Five Classics, if you look at this world, where do you still need such things as the Four Books and Five Classics?"
Xu Mu shook her head and smiled, "I can't talk about you." ”
"Dad, what kind of flower is this?"
Feng Xia held up a pale pink flower and asked.
"Ask your grandma."
"Grandma, what kind of flower is this?" Feng Xia asked obediently.
Mother Xu said with a smile: "I'll take it home and ask your mother later, your mother may know." ”
It wasn't until it was dark that Xu Fugui came out of the paddy field and dragged his tired body towards home.
As soon as he arrived at home, a strong braised smell came out, Xu Fugui smelled it, and the smell of Jiazhen seemed to be getting more and more fragrant.
"Fugui, come to Shun, there is hot water here, come and wash it, look at you, your body is full of mud."
Xu Fugui looked down, there was indeed a lot of mud on his clothes, he smiled, "Anyway, it's a work clothes, and I don't feel distressed if it's dirty." ”
"Wash and wash, change your clothes and come to dinner, put the clothes there, and wash them tomorrow, by the way, my father said that the wool can be sheared, and I told you to shear the wool later, and take it to the city tomorrow to sell it......"
