Chapter 70: Her Sons Seem to Have Been Lost (1st Update)
What about our two pigs?
After eating the porridge, the village boys held the dishes and chopsticks under their armpits and whispered as they walked out.
That's the happiest thing of the day.
Aunt Xu said that she would use those two pigs to give birth to a litter of piglets surnamed "Erdaohe". Then kill the pig and sell the meat to Wangjiagou to sell, where to get it, and where to sell it for money.
Just imagine it, and my heart is so happy.
"It's been sent to your master's house." Guan Erbald suddenly appeared and replied.
The old man who came up with the idea of what to fill the dam with was the lonely old man.
He also has an older brother named Pegzi, who is long gone.
You want to scratch the son is over 70 years old, and his own children are gone in their 50s, and he is currently living alone in a big empty house and two acres of land. With this in mind, there is no public place to raise pigs in the village and a place to store the goods in exchange, so all the goods are placed in the house of the child.
Like in the future, if you want to feed pigs and boil pig food, you also have to scratch your son and Lao Zhai Tou and feed them, and when you go back to kill pigs, the village will give some subsidies, and you will also give a hand to the tiring work of spring farming.
Outside the dark gate, Guan Erbald didn't even burn a torch, and suddenly the boys were startled by the words.
"Grandpa Guan, weren't you the first to finish eating, why did you come back again, hurry up and go home and sleep."
As soon as the porridge was served tonight, Guan Erbald shouted uncharacteristically: "Let me come first, let me come first." ”
The people from the outside village, as well as Li Zheng and Mrs. Xu didn't sit down, and Guan Erbald had to eat first.
Although everyone felt abrupt, they also let Guan Erbald eat it first.
At this time, Guan Erbald took out a few mugwort wool from his broken pocket as a doctor, handed it to the boys, and said, "Don't be lazy, go back and soak your feet in hot water first, and then use this to smoke your knees." ”
Only then did the boys understand why Grandpa Guan was scrambling to be the first to finish eating.
"Got it." The boys smelled that it was made of mugwort, and every family had this thing worthless. But I feel that it doesn't matter if it's worth it or not, I rush to the heart of Grandpa, go home and return to wait for them, and they won't be lazy.
It seems that you still don't understand, but this is the Ai that your grandfather Guan has saved for three years.
There is a saying in the prescription:
Seven years of illness, three years of love, no savings, no life.
The earthen wall of the Guan family is covered with mugwort leaves, and it has been saved for many years.
Not to mention, if you want to make these wormwoods into mugwort, it is Guan Erbald, as long as you are idle in spring, summer, autumn and winter, you have to dry and pound it little by little.
In the words of his little grandson, his grandfather couldn't sleep if he didn't use a wooden pestle and stone mortar.
Only today there is such as cotton, which is called ripe moxa, and moxibustion is used for fire.
Pure ancient production, and these wormwood is not artificially planted and fertilized to induce wormwood, but wild wormwood that can only be harvested once a year.
Only wild mugwort leaves can accumulate active ingredients, and it is conceivable that this medicinal property is made into velvet.
Therefore, Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin understand better that every moxa is Guan Langzhong's hard work.
Seeing that Guan Er was so sleepy that he was in a daze, and he was still guarding the door to distribute moxibustion strips to everyone round by round, I thought: I was moved by this simplicity again.
What do you say Guan Erbald has become poor? Give everyone something with gray hair.
I still do big things every day, family planning for a while, health care for a while, it's all a hundred-year plan.
The whole body also exudes the hope that the whole village will always be healthy, so why not let him be poor temperament.
Xu Tianxin whispered a few words to his grandmother and left.
Mrs. Xu shouted: "Two bald people? Here you come. ”
Guan Erbald was a little unhappy, so many people from other villages didn't leave, and they called him a nickname.
Since the sister of the Xu family became the village steward, she and he are no longer affectionate to come back from the grave.
What was he called then? Honorific title Langzhong, or Brother Guan.
Now two bald, two bald.
Forget it, don't worry more about people who have the ability.
"What's the matter?"
"After this while, you will continue to rub the pill when you turn around."
What pills, he also has to make sets and fish scale jelly.
"Pills for headache and brain fever, I don't believe your family doesn't have stock."
"But my brother won't accept my ......"
"Who said that you want to sell it in the town and county, I will help you sell it, and you can rub the balls with peace of mind."
When Mrs. Xu spoke, she swept her eyes up and down, and thought: With the appearance of this crotch diaper, can you create the kind of brand image that her granddaughter said?
When the time comes, I will drag Guan Erbald out and introduce it to the businessman, aren't you afraid of a headache and brain fever on the road, buy some balls and prepare it, you won't suffer losses and be fooled. This is our famous old Chinese medicine doctor, and he is famous in ten miles and eight villages.
She also wants her granddaughter to work with Guan Er, rubbing pills together this year, and picking flowers and herbs together in spring next year.
Mrs. Xu plans to give the pharmacy tax and then give it to a counter, and the profits from the pharmacy will be used as pocket money for her granddaughter.
And it's done, it's done, listen to the granddaughter's meaning, people have a plan.
When I came back from the town that day, I thought that I would make toothbrushes, toothpaste, and wooden combs with her Grandpa Guan, Aunt Yingzi, and her aunt to promote them to better inns in the city, so that the inns could be sold to those who didn't have bad money and didn't get toiletry bags.
Who knows if you can sell it, try it.
And just now her granddaughter told her that she was going to push a foot soaking bag to the city inn, saying that those rich people who were in a hurry would soak their feet in white water? That's not identity.
"You use this moxa, and then soak your feet and keep it, I'll be useful."
Guan Erbald never expected that he would distribute a moxibustion strip to the people in the village, and then the sister of the Xu family wanted to help him sell medicine and moxibustion.
He quickly picked out three more mugwort pillars from his bag and handed them over.
"Didn't you just give it to me?"
"I just wanted to give you six, and when you finished calling me a nickname, I got angry and stuffed it back, and I'm not nameless."
Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "What's your name," she really doesn't know.
"His name is Guanbao." Liu Laozhu walked over with a limp and said.
Liu Laozhu just finished instructing the people from other villages, and asked him to help go back to the villages to publicize it, and those who didn't dare to give them things on credit last time were ready.
He is about to bring fish to the villages, and the goods will be exchanged for goods on the spot.
If you don't have the goods, you can buy the fish if you want to keep it for the winter, and you can buy it for three cents a pound, which is cheaper than the one sold in the town. Besides, you can't go to the town? He's here to deliver to your door.
It's also a worry to catch too much fish, there is no fishing salt, this month's collection is over, try to exchange the goods back.
I thought that after talking, I would be the last to go home to sleep, but I didn't expect to see Guan Erbald sending Ai to everyone when I came out, and the sister of the Xu family was also there.
Mrs. Xu smiled after hearing this name: No wonder she is poor, she finally called a treasure chest and closed it.
"Wow?"
The Guan family and the Xu family stopped by, but Guan Erbald waved his hand and said, "Sister, you go first, I have something to say with Lizheng." ”
Tell me something about their man's family.
Virtue.
Mrs. Xu thought to herself: Isn't it just about stealing pants?
In fact, these old sisters have seen it all.
Da Hongzi was fishing in Wangjiagou for a while, fishing and fishing: "bleached", several of them began to laugh, almost laughing in the heavy rain, and they all understood who they were talking about.
I really didn't expect it to be so white.
The main reason is that the back of the bald man's head is too recognizable, and they can't pretend to be unrecognizable.
Mrs. Xu was carried away by Meizhuang, and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter had already left.
The daughter-in-law wanted to go back to the torn sleeves and went home to clean up the fish, and said that she wanted to make noodles, otherwise she would not have noodles and dry food to eat tomorrow morning.
The granddaughter went home early to boil hot water for her, soak her feet in the hot kang and burn her waist.
After Mrs. Xu left, sure enough, Guan Erbald wanted to talk to Liu Laozhu about stealing pants.
However, Guan Erbald first suggested Li Zheng: "Take this opportunity to go to the dam and have a look." ”
You will feel safe when you go fishing outside tomorrow morning.
Liu Laozhu looked back at Guan Erbald with a sincere face: "......"
Why don't you exhaust me, it's the middle of the night.
But he still went with a stick, and by the way, he saw what Wangjiagou was doing in the middle of the night.
“…… Later, I carried the burden and scratched someone's pants again, and I couldn't wash them, and I couldn't pay for them, and I couldn't pay for them with a new patch. ”
"Okay, I see." It's not a big deal.
Liu Laozhu and Guan Erbald came to the dam while talking.
When I arrived, I found out that the eldest brother of the old family with his two sons, a few boys from the Sun family, Wang Yusheng and Mingzi, and some children in the village who couldn't see who it was were on the dam.
The gang was also asking each other, "Why are you here?" ”
The children of the Sun family: "My grandfather asked us to come." "I changed my wet clothes and didn't let me check the dam and didn't let me sleep.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears.
If a village wants to become better, every brick, tile, flower and tree, must have people like Guan Erbald around him to distribute moxibustion to everyone, and there must be unknown people like these silent dedication on the dam.
No one commanded them, so they took the initiative.
Liu Laozhu was glad that he was here to see this scene, so he cried on this rainy night.
I don't know why, the more I cry, the more evil I become.
Maybe it's because I've been under too much pressure lately, or maybe it's all men present, and it's embarrassing to cry.
Guan Erbald was a little numb, and hurriedly took out four mugwort plungers from his pocket Liu Laozhu's arms, and comforted: "Li Zheng, this thing is good." "Don't cry.
……
I don't know if it's about the blessing of the second baldness, or the scene last night moved Liu Laozhu too much.
On the second day, Erdaohe Village was getting up on time, and banging the gong from house to house like a chicken beating to make a notice: "Go." ”
The rain has finally subsided this morning.
And when everyone was about to turn to Wangjiagou at the intersection, they only saw a group of boys carrying luggage rolls walking in the distance.
Da Hongzi ran past Mrs. Xu: "Oh, it's the third child of my family." ”
Then several mothers-in-law ran past Mrs. Xu, shouting for their sons.
"My family is chained, tied, kept, stood, and kept back!"
These migrant boys are lucky, they were called to the deep mountains and old forests in the county to collect honey. Although it is also dangerous and hard, at least the dry food is not mixed with dirt and wood chips, and I heard that I have drunk egg drop soup twice in this month.
It was a rainstorm and the honey harvesting period before returning home.
Mrs. Xu stood in the middle of a group of villagers who recognized their relatives, listening to the number of sons who were mothers: "Lack of heart, rush home on a rainy day." ”
"Isn't it drizzling?"
"Bluffing ghosts, if you can come back at this hour, it means that you will go on the road after the rain is greedy, and how can the thunder be split."
When the boys were exposed, they coaxed the old lady and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of you." ”
Liu Laozhu asked them what was going on in the county and town, and then they learned that there was also a place where the embankment broke in heavy rain, and it could be said that the whole county was busy building the dam.
A mother-in-law will come to something, and a few boys in the family will come to say hello to Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu was a little unthinking, thinking that the "five residences" of the people had returned, and her family "had it".
You see, you can't wait to go home, so you can stuff your work money into your respective mother's pockets.
