Chapter 46: The New Year
The dumplings were all on the table, and there was a sudden movement outside, Yun Xue knew that it might be Rhubarb who was back, so she hurried to open the door for Rhubarb. Normally, Rhubarb comes back by jumping over the fence and rarely walks through the gate. Sure enough, when I opened the door, I saw that the rhubarb was outside. "Come in, it's the New Year, let's have a reunion together." Yun Xue has always regarded the rhubarb mother and son as relatives.
Rhubarb didn't enter the house, gently biting Yun Xue's clothes, and dragging her out. Yun Xue was a little strange, but she also knew that Rhubarb was very spiritual, and she thought that she had got something back. Follow Rhubarb out, push open the door and look out, there is a red deer lying on the ground. This is an adult female red deer, very large, probably a little smaller than a horse.
"Rhubarb, how did you get it back? Oh my God, you're such a big guy. Yun Xue couldn't help but admire. This deer probably has to weigh nearly four hundred pounds, and Rhubarb can actually bring it back from the deep forest, this guy's strength is big enough. Yun Xue saw that the doe's belly was a little bulging, and she was overjoyed, it seemed that the doe might be pregnant.
Since that time the doctor said that he might suffer from the cold, which would cause the cold condensation of the uterus, which may affect fertility in the future, Yun Xue's heart was not very comfortable. This kind of thing, as a woman, is impossible to be indifferent after all. But deer fetuses are not easy to get, and many times, it depends on luck. Looking at this red deer today, Yun Xue's heart has some hope.
"Yunlin, Yunzhen, come out to help." She hurriedly shouted.
Yunlin and the others were in the house, and when they heard the eldest sister calling them, they hurried out. When they saw the red deer at the door, they were also a little surprised. "Eldest sister, this is rhubarb? Oh my God, how did he get it back? Yun Lin couldn't believe it.
Rhubarb was on the side, but it made a low voice, as if it was a little displeased that everyone doubted its ability. It walked up to the deer, lowered its head and bit the deer's neck, and then took the deer in its mouth and dragged it into the yard, leaving the Yunxue sisters and brothers, stunned in place.
Rhubarb put the deer in the yard, and then looked back at the three siblings. In the dark night, there seemed to be an innate pride in the yellow-green eyes. He yelled at the three siblings again, and then walked into the house with graceful steps. Just now, Yunlin and the others came out, and the door of the house was not closed.
Yun Xue was speechless again. She has always felt that this rhubarb mother and son are full of spirituality, especially this rhubarb, which is almost as arrogant as a queen. Also, people are the king of beasts. Shaking his head, not thinking about the useless ones, "Let's eat dumplings quickly, we will have to clean up this deer later." ”
Yunlin turned around and plugged in the door, and then everyone went back to the house to eat dumplings together. The dumplings with cabbage and pork still taste very good. Everyone ate happily, and from time to time someone ate copper coins, sugar and other things, and everyone laughed.
In the afternoon, I was quite full, and I couldn't eat much at this time. Yun Xue ate more than a dozen dumplings, and then went out to clean up the deer. "You eat slowly, I'll hurry up and clean up, in case it freezes, it's not easy to peel the skin." Yun Xue found the dagger, got some Mingzi tied together, lit it, and took it outside.
There were lanterns in the courtyard, and with the torches made by Akiko, it was quite bright. Yun Xue neatly skinned the red deer on the ground, and when she opened the deer's belly, she found a deer fetus. Yun Xue was very happy, and carefully put the deer fetus in the basin, waiting to be processed again.
Deer is full of treasures, whether it is venison, deer tendon, deer blood, deer bones, deer hearts, they are all rare treasures. Especially such a big red deer, not to mention that Yunxue has never gotten it, even in the village, I haven't heard of anyone getting it back. Yun Xue handled all parts very carefully, even if these things were not sold, kept for giving away or for their own use, they were all rare good things, of course, they had to be more careful.
By the time Yun Xue had taken care of everything, it was already time to go. The clouds and thunder in the house couldn't stay up for a long time, and they fell asleep without even taking off their clothes. And Yunlin was so sleepy that he yawned, and couldn't help but run out to take a look. "Eldest sister, have you done it?"
"Well, it's all right, help me bring all this into the house, and the other meat, just put it in the barn and freeze." Yun Xue commanded the two younger brothers, everyone gathered together, and then went into the house.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, just in such a busy past, Yun Xue was also a little tired, so let go of the quilt, and everyone went to sleep.
In the days after the year, there seems to be no change except that everyone is a year older. Since Yunxue and they are all in filial piety, they naturally can't go out to pay New Year's greetings to others, and they can only stay at home. Fortunately, Hanyu and Qianru, as well as Yunlin's classmates and others, all found time to come and sit. In addition, some people in the village had a good relationship with the Han family before, and recently through some things, they felt that Yunxue was very good. Such people, adults are not easy to come, and they also send children to sit for a while. In this way, the family does not seem to be cold and panicked.
There are a lot of New Year's goods prepared a year ago, and there is no shortage of all kinds of food, and when people come to the family, Yunxue will generously bring out a lot of delicious food, and let those children eat enough. These children in the village, even if they have a good life at home, may not be willing to give food to their children like Yunxue, so those children are very happy. No matter what, it's all guests, and Yun Xue is happy to make these children happy.
In this way, people's impression of the Han family is better. At the same time, people also know that even if the Han family sisters and brothers have no parents and no grandparents and other relatives to take care of, they are still living well, much better than many families in the village. Some old people in the village couldn't help but sigh that now that Yunxue is in charge, life is getting better and better.
These words will naturally spread to the old Han family, and when the old man of the Han family listens to it, he doesn't need to mention this discomfort in his heart. The old lady was lying on the kang, her body was still a little weak, but her mouth was non-stop, "Listen, they all say that they are living a good life." What? Just with Yunxue's dead girl, does she have this ability? It must be that the second child didn't know how much money he had saved at that time. You see, he seems to be quite honest and honest, and every time he takes money back, he actually has a dark heart. When the old lady talked about her second son, she didn't feel a trace of sadness, only infinite resentment.
"Otherwise, why didn't Yunxue want to live with us at that time? It's not that they don't know that they have a family background, and they definitely can't live a hard life. That's why he doesn't want to be with us, and he doesn't want to give us the money left by the second child. The second child is black-hearted, and her mother-in-law is not a good thing. The cubs of the two of them are not even better. Look at that Yunxue, it's simply a white-eyed wolf with a black heart. She also got a tiger back, why didn't she let the tiger eat it for her? The old lady didn't care that this was the first month, so she cursed the Yunxue family.
The old man was already upset, and when he heard the old lady's words, his heart was even more panicked. "Alright, don't talk about that here. If you have the ability, go and get the money in his hand, and if you can't, don't mumble here. The old man smoked depressedly.
The old lady opened her mouth, but she lost the momentum she had just now, "What can I do?" The tiger is in her house, and I can't even get in at the door of her house, and I can't get out of it. Speaking of this, the old lady's eyes lit up, "By the way, can there be any way to get rid of her tiger?" That's a treasure, and that tiger alone can sell for a hundred and eighty taels. If we can find a way to get our hands on it, we won't have to worry. The old lady said whimsically.
The old man just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand his wife, but after thinking about it, maybe there was really a way. "Well, if you let me think about it, maybe I can figure it out." The old man fell silent.
Of course, Yunxue didn't know that someone had already started the idea of beating rhubarb. Today is the third year of junior high school, and the day after tomorrow Yunxue will go back to the mountain. Yun Xue explained some things to Yun Ni at home, "There is still a lot of food in the warehouse, and you will eat it when the time comes." Don't be sorry to end up blind. In addition, what I baked on the wall of the fire was a deer fetus. It's a good thing, it's very useful for my sister, and when it's dried, put it away for my sister, and I can't lose it. ”
Yun Xue didn't know anything about dispensing medicine. This deer fetus is used alone, and the effect is naturally not as good as that of other medicinal materials. So she plans to wait for time in the future, find a better doctor, carefully review the symptoms for herself, and then dispense medicine for treatment. This deer fetus is not easy to obtain, and it will not be bad when dried, and if it is preserved, it can be stored for a long time.
Yun Ni saw her sister's serious expression and knew the seriousness of the matter, "Well, don't worry, eldest sister, I can still do this." When the deer fetus is dried, I will definitely store it properly, and there will be no problems. ”
Yun Xue knew that her sister's heart was very careful, and this thing was indeed difficult for her. "There is still a lot of money at home, and I told you where to store it, so you should be careful. In Yunlin's hand, there are still some silver coins, which should be enough for you to spend during this time. After a month and a half, the eldest sister will come back from the mountain, and when the time comes, the eldest sister will come back with a lot of money. ”
Yunlin and the others are also in the house, "Eldest sister, don't worry, we will take care of the family." The family doesn't have a lot to spend now, and the money doesn't need much at all. Yun Lin hurriedly spoke. He is very smart, he reads and writes, and he writes down the family's expenses in a notebook. In this way, I know these things well.
