Chapter Eighty-Three: Hunger is a Physiological Need
Jiang Zhimiao didn't know where Chun Tao got the paper, she was stunned and took it directly.
It was not early, she pinched two short pieces of charcoal and wrote on the paper, and after a moment, Jiang Zhimiao handed the paper to Li Gensheng: "Uncle Genzi, this is a prescription, you can keep it." ”
Li Gensheng's eyes were full of water, and he took it carefully: "Thank you, girl, our family is nothing good, you can take these sweet potatoes home, if they are not enough, you can take them again, uncle's family has nothing else, sweet potatoes are enough." ”
Jiang Zhimiao waved his hand and rejected his kindness.
This year, no one's life is easy, it means a little harvest, this sweet potato must be the spring peach and their family's winter food, if this is taken away, their life is only afraid that it will be more bitter.
"Uncle Genzi, don't see too much, look down and don't see what you look up to, and it doesn't take much effort, isn't it just a pulse and a prescription? It's not a big deal, it's too polite. ”
"Besides, haven't you taken this medicine yet, when you get a little better, thank me for not being late, forget it now."
Li Gensheng glanced at her gratefully, keeping this favor in his heart, he looked at the prescription in his hand, and then looked at Jiang Zhimiao, and said with some embarrassment:
"It's... Our ancestors have been digging in the field for generations, and none of them have gone to school, this recipe is there, that is... It's just illiterate. ”
The man scratched his head shyly and looked at Jiang Zhimiao in embarrassment.
Jiang Zhimiao smiled, and then said: "Uncle, it doesn't matter if you are illiterate, you can keep this recipe first, and call Chun Tao to my house next day, it just so happens that our piece is on the ridge of the field, and the medicine in this recipe is available, and I will teach her when the time comes, just recognize it all." ”
"Besides, there are not only medicinal materials on this recipe, but also some precautions, I'll talk to Chun Tao next day, Ao, by the way, Uncle Genzi, you just vomited a pool of blood, lie down in bed and rest for a while, and when the medicine is found in the next day, you can decoct the medicine at night."
Li Gensheng responded well and thanked him again.
No matter how effective this medicine is, it is her kindness, and it is best to control it, and it is not strange if he can't control it, but looking at her determined appearance, maybe... It may be impossible to control this disease.
It's been more than half an hour since I came out, and the family must have been in a hurry, Jiang Zhimiao hurriedly said goodbye, and then Wen Zhuqing and Wen Zhuqing returned home with two large bags of sweet potatoes.
Li Gensheng said that he would not charge any money, but Jiang Zhimiao had a tough attitude, and in the end, her share was reduced by one penny on the basis of the price negotiated before, and she bought sweet potatoes at the price of two pennies and one catty, and after agreeing on the location with Chun Tao, she and Wen Zhuqing went back the same way.
Fortunately, although the road with the spring peach belt was winding, it was not difficult to remember, and Jiang Zhimiao and the two went around for a while and then went around to the road they just came.
There are many familiar faces on this road, Jiang Zhimiao looked at them carrying food happily, and knew that there would definitely be no shortage of food in the sack on his shoulder, but thinking about it, there are still a few people in this world who can't get along with money.
If there is money to be made, most people are still willing to sell some food, even if they are unknown, but they can subsidize some household expenses for their families, there are still people who are willing to sell.
The villagers are having a hard time, it's freezing this day, and there is no income at home, so if you earn a few pennies more, you can buy some snacks for the children, thinking of this, Jiang Zhimiao had an epiphany in an instant.
That is, she was unlucky, she asked three families in a row and was unwilling to sell, if she walked to the village again, she must be able to buy it, looking at them carrying sacks and smiling with joy, Jiang Zhimiao was not surprised at all.
On the way back, Wen Zhuqing gathered all the thirty catties of sweet potatoes, the strength of the man is greater than that of the woman, Jiang Zhimiao is just a woman even if she is born with divine power, before Wang Wu untied the shackles earlier, she always endured more, he couldn't bear it, he didn't want to, but he could only succumb to the shackles, and now that it is stable, he naturally has to do more.
Jiang Zhimiao saw that he was rushing to carry it, and naturally had no opinion, since he was going to do it, she was also happy to be idle, and she just took advantage of this time to enjoy the idyllic scenery.
Speaking of which, these thirty pounds of things are not heavy, and an adult man carries thirty pounds of things, isn't it easy?
After being exiled for so many days, Wen Zhuqing is no longer the one who can only dance and write in the past, and the young man walked steadily on the road carrying more than thirty pounds of sweet potatoes, and even kept up with Jiang Zhimiao, who was in the wind at his feet.
A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at the ridge, and before they could enter the house, they saw that many people had already eaten.
Jiang Zhimiao smelled the sweet smell of sweet potatoes from afar, she was really not very hungry earlier, and suddenly smelled this aroma, and there was a drum in her stomach, and she swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
Wen Zhuqing stared at the sweet potato overflowing with honey, the Adam's apple rolled up and down, hunger is a physiological need, no one can control it, the two of them opened their eyes, and walked quickly towards home.
Before he got home, Jiang Zhimiao saw Mingzhu standing at the door of his house, looking at other people's roasted sweet potatoes, and there were even some suspicious traces on his mouth.
Minghuai and Jingming were also greedy, but they just stared at others, Mingzhu was good, and touched his stomach while drooling, which made Jiang Zhimiao laugh for a while.
"Yo, whose little gluttonous cat is this? Tut-tut, take a look, it's all drooling. ”
Suddenly hearing her sister's voice, Mingzhu came back to her senses in an instant, and after hearing her words clearly, she wiped her mouth with her hand almost subconsciously.
After seeing that the back of her hand was full of crystal liquid, Mingzhu raised her face and shouted "Sister A" with a grin
Seeing her rush into her arms like a small cannonball, Jiang Zhimiao opened her hand, hugged her, nodded her slightly cool nose, and said with a smile: "The little gluttonous cat is looking for it by itself when it smells?" This nose is really smart. ”
Mingzhu grinned, grinning and burying her face between her legs.
A muffled voice came from below, "I'm not a gluttonous cat, my brother is." After the words fell, Mingzhu glanced at Minghuai and buried his head back.
Minghuai was speechless for a while, and he didn't look at who was drooling just now, and was about to refute, but he saw Mingzhu glance at him leisurely, so he had to swallow the words back, he was greedy for cats, he was greedy for cats, it was better to be greedy for cats than to coax people, this head, he recognized it.
Jiang Zhimiao looked at him a little helplessly, and also smiled, she retracted her gaze, lowered her head slightly, put her hands on Mingzhu's armpits, and lifted her into her arms, "Okay, he's hungry, let's go home and eat sweet potatoes." ”
Mingzhu grinned, buried her head in her shoulder socket, and turned her head to look at Minghuai proudly.
Minghuai smiled helplessly, held hands with Jing Ming, and walked back behind them.
When the two families saw that they had brought back so many sweet potatoes, their faces were filled with joy, and after hastily dividing the two portions, Jiang Zhimiao took his own share and entered the house.
Xu Yourong had already picked up all the firewood, and there was a pile in the corner of the wall, there were many trees in this area, and you could pick up a lot of them casually, which could be regarded as realizing the freedom of firewood.
After the two of them set up the firewood pile with their hands and feet, they took out the fire fold and lit it, and threw a few sweet potatoes into it, and about a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Zhimiao took a stick and pulled out all the sweet potatoes in the fire.
A few people sat in front of the fire, eating fragrantly.
