Peasant girl farming: I did beauty in ancient times

Chapter 90

"Big girl, what can we do now! The village chief said that the embankment of the river was washed away, and the county magistrate ordered each household to send out a male to serve in corvee." Fang ran to Lin Yuehua's house in a panic early in the morning.

"The embankment was washed away? The river is in Linshui Town." Lin Yuehua remembered that the river was far away from Linjiacun.

"Where is it? It's mainly for corvee service. That's right. Your family doesn't need anyone. What do I tell you? I'll find Sister Zhang." Fang left in a hurry.

"When will it rain?" Lin Yuehua looked at the drizzle outside and sighed.

Zhao Yunting came back from outside the house, his face was grim, he was carrying a suitcase in his hand, and his shoes were all wet without noticing.

"Brother Zhao?"

"Boy Zhao, walk slowly, I'm exhausted to death."

Only then did Lin Yuehua see that Zhao Yunting was still following Doctor Lin, and she immediately realized that Grandpa Zhao was ill?No wonder I didn't see Zhao Yunting early in the morning, I went to ask for a doctor.

It is really Zhao Yunting's grandfather who is ill.

After reading it, Grandpa Lin did not mention the symptoms, but sighed: "Boy Zhao, don't be too anxious. The old man will prescribe a prescription for your grandfather to try."

Seeing Zhao Yunting's body staggering obviously, Lin Yuehua pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Grandfather Yun Ting is fine, you can send Doctor Lin off."

"Grandfather, I'll come back as soon as I go."

After Zhao Yunting left, Lin Yuehua asked Grandpa Zhao about his physical symptoms in detail. He said, "I feel cold, have a headache, and I can't move my body. My nose is stuffy and my throat hurts."

It sounded like she had a bad cold, Lin Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, she thought it was a serious illness, but she was nervous just now.

"Grandpa Zhao, don't worry about taking care of your illness, you will recover soon."

Grandpa Zhao only thought that Lin Yuehua was comforting him. He knew his own body well, and he was afraid that his time would be numbered. His only regret was that he did not see Yun Ting marry a wife and have children.

Zhao Yunting, who had gone to the doctor's house in Lin Village to get some medicine, had just returned to Lin's house when Village Chief Lin came to the door.

"Yun Ting, I'm here to inform you, pack up and go to Linshui Town to serve as corvee." Village Chief Lin, wearing a coir raincoat, went from house to house to inform.

"Village chief, my grandfather is seriously ill. I won't go to this corvee. Can you donate money?" Zhao Yunting didn't have the heart to serve corvee.

Village head Lin calmed down for a while, and then said: "You are lucky, the newly appointed county magistrate can let you donate money to replace the corvee. If the county magistrate Kong is here, to put it bluntly, you have to go to the corvee."

Lin Yue heard the point and asked: "Grandpa Lin, have we changed the county magistrate?"

Village head Lin replied: "I also just heard from the village head that County Magistrate Kong was dismissed and investigated for charges of collusion between officials and bandits. The new county magistrate has only been here for a few days."

Lin Yuehua had heard about the bad deeds of County Magistrate Kong, and she became happy when she heard that the county magistrate was changed, but she just thought for a moment what if the new county magistrate is a bad official again?
Let's pray that he is a good official, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

"Village chief, I can't leave, how much money is it? I won't go to the corvee." Zhao Yunting's tone was firm.

Although Village Chief Lin felt sorry for the money, he didn't spend his money. In addition, he hoped that old man Zhao would recover from his illness soon, and don't let this kid's body suffer too.

"Twelve taels of silver."

"Okay." Without hesitation, Zhao Yunting took the money and handed it to Village Chief Lin.

For the next time, Zhao Yunting stayed by Grandpa Zhao's side except for decocting the medicine, and he didn't even come out to eat, which made Lin Yuehua on the side anxious.

Lin Yuehua held back on the first day and did not interfere in the affairs of the Zhao family. On the second day, seeing that Zhao Yunting was still the same, she was not sure if it was right for her to do so.

"Little Tongtong, do you think I should buy cold medicine and give it to Grandpa Zhao?" Lin Yuehua was very confused.
[Host, do you want to open the intermediate mall? ] The system thinks that it cannot give advice to the host.

"Is there any cold medicine in the mid-level shopping mall?" Lin Yuehua thought for a while, if there are some points to spend, just spend them.

[You can search for the host in the mall after opening it. 】

"Is there a search function?" Lin Yuehua's eyes lit up. She had already flipped through the pages of the items in the junior mall, and she was familiar with them by heart.

【Have. 】

Lin Yuehua finally opened the intermediate shopping mall, searched for several kinds of cold medicine, chose the medicine for cold and cold, and bought a box, which cost more than [-] cents.

How can I let Grandpa Zhao drink it?

Lin Yuehua made a mistake, Zhao Yunting took all the medicine these days, and she didn't have a chance to change the medicine, so after thinking about it, Lin Yuehua went to cook porridge.

Added the cold medicine to the porridge and sent it to Zhao Yunting.

"Brother Zhao, I made some porridge for Grandpa Zhao, the temperature is just right now, let Grandpa Zhao eat something." Lin Yuehua saw that Zhao Yunting looked very haggard, with blue stubble growing on his chin.

"Big girl, leave it alone, I don't have any appetite." Grandpa Zhao didn't want to eat.

Lin Yuehua persuaded: "Grandpa Zhao, this is a small bowl, you can eat some, you don't eat brother Zhao, he hasn't eaten for two days."

Grandpa Zhao looked at Zhao Yunting in surprise when he heard that, and then his face showed distress, and he reprimanded: "You brat wants to piss me off! Who told you not to eat, go and eat! Big girl, give me porridge."

Zhao Yunting was reprimanded for keeping quiet, but when he saw Grandpa Zhao eating the porridge, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"What are you still doing? Get out and eat." Grandpa Zhao threw Zhao Yunting out.

In fact, not only the Zhao family has been in a low mood these past few days, but all the families in the village who have had males join the corvee are depressed.

Fang couldn't sit still at home, so she ran to Lin's house to look for Lin Yuehua.

"Big girl, why don't you lend some money to my aunt? I'll go and redeem my family's food." Fang was in a hurry. These days, he kept dreaming that Lao Ding, who was repairing the embankment, would be swept away by the flood. .

Aunt Zhang followed her into the house, and heard Fang's words to borrow money: "Fang, you have a good idea! Everyone has left, and now you can't redeem yourself. Besides, I heard Chunsheng say that building the embankment is a good thing."

Fang snorted: "Your family didn't give birth, so it's only natural for you to say that."

Aunt Zhang said: "Look at what you said, then Chunsheng's father is gone, isn't his father also from our family. Are you the only one who loves your man?"

Lin Yuehua waited for the two aunts to stop bickering before asking, "What's it like to be in corvée?"

Fang said: "I remember that my natal uncle died of illness because of his corvee service. Even if he was sick, he had to work. Although he ate two meals a day, there were too many people. He was not hungry and did heavy work. .”

Aunt Zhang said: "Actually, I'm also worried. It's cold even after soaking in the water for a long time. What should I do if I get frozen?"

Lin Yuehua thought for a while: "Aunts, how about we go and send them some ginger soup? Go to the village and find out which section Laoding in our village is assigned to. Maybe we can do business."

"What business?" Aunt Zhang and Fang asked at the same time.
