Chapter 263: Giving roses leaves lingering fragrance in your hands

Xu Tianxin first looked at the tattered quilt on the Guan family's kang, and then looked at Grandpa Guan.

Until now, Grandpa Guan is reluctant to drink pimple soup with egg flowers, but spends ten taels of silver on others.

It made Hu Zheng greedy, so he grabbed her hand and went to Guan's house for dinner, saying that he hoped she would go there once a week. Only if she went, the family would be willing to cook well.

For only ten taels of silver, the bedding for a family of three can be replaced with new ones from the inside out.

I didn’t buy any New Year’s goods at home, but I was thinking about how other people would celebrate the New Year.

Guan Ertuo was a little nervous as Tian Xin'er stared at him. He turned sideways, avoiding his eyes and thinking:

It's over, the disciple is angry.

In fact, it’s no wonder the child is angry.

He asked the children to pay without making it clear in advance, and also asked the children to do good deeds without leaving their names.

Because he believes that good people will be rewarded.

Although life was bad in the past, he always felt that if he didn't be a good person, life would be even worse, so he still believed in this.

Besides, I am very lucky.

People, don't look back, look behind you, otherwise you won't get to know Tian Xin'er.

In Guan Ertuo's heart, doing this and that with Tian Xin'er was the greatest blessing in his life.

But I have to admit that these are all my own ideas, and the children cannot help but believe them. Tian Xin'er would scold him if she knew about it.

After all, ten taels is not a small amount of money, so he just asked Tian Xin'er to pay for it, seeing that he didn't dare to tell others.

Let's not mention it, just take the villagers as an example. If those women know that they will definitely call him mentally ill and pity the people from other villages, can they pity the people of their own village if they want to do good things?

"Tian Xin'er, if you don't want to, just treat it as..."

"I do. However, I also hope that you can think more about yourself in the future and be careful..."

Guan Ertu hurriedly stood up straight, turned around and shouted in surprise: "I knew that you girl has some loyalty. You can do things that others would agree to if they are brave enough!"

have to.

I hope you will also eat something good, cover yourself with a warm quilt, and don't come to this world without enjoying many blessings, and not see the suffering of others.

I hope you will be willing to spend a few taels on yourself throughout the year while giving out ten taels to others without leaving your name, and giving thirty-five taels to those shopkeepers at the exchange market without blinking an eye.

Xu Tianxin knew that after saying the above, Grandpa Guan couldn't listen to a word at the moment.

So, why not: "...How should we do this so that people can receive surprises without anyone noticing. If this is done, I think you are so cool, Grandpa Guan. Why am I so cool?" Cool Master!”

"It's not good to make people cry." Guan Ertu said embarrassedly: "I just wanted to leave no name, so as not to let people know who did it. They would feel heavy in their hearts and think about sending us some firewood or something. I was also afraid that people would come to the door and cry. Thanks, what happened? Hehehe."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Guan, I promise not to leave your name, not even my grandma."

Standing in the courtyard, Mrs. Xu could still hear the bald man talking excitedly to her granddaughter:

"Xin'er, in the most difficult year for my grandfather's family, on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, I was too hungry to move, so I had this sweet dream.

In the dream, someone threw a piece of meat, seven white dough dumplings, into the wall of my courtyard.

The flour was so fine that I had such a bright dream, thinking about it, this was pretty good. There are a lot of sacrifices to be made during the Chinese New Year, and I finally have something decent to eat in honor of my master. Afterwards, Huzhang can eat the cakes offered to him until the seventh day of the lunar month.

In this way, I dare to say to my old wife and uncle when they go to the grave, don’t worry about this side, the New Year dishes this year are good, Yingzi fried cabbage slices with meat and oil, Hu Peng ate two pieces of fatty meat, and he ate it with a small mouth The oil is poured out and served with a grater to serve the Stove Lord.

Later, guess how I woke up? "

"How did you wake up?"

"I dreamed that the man threw Spring Festival couplets at my house. I did have the couplets, but I didn't have any glue. It made me worried. Even if I wiped the couplets (saliva) on them, they couldn't stick to them. Then I woke up suddenly. When I woke up, I found that There is nothing, just a face full of arrogance, hahaha."

"Oh, Grandpa Guan, then we have to prepare paste for those people. After buying them, do you have any money left? If there is no paste money left, I will pay for it."

"That's enough, that's enough. Let's not waste the oil paper bag to avoid being discovered by your mother. If she doesn't scold you, she scolds me.

I just use corn leaves to wrap the flour for making the paste.

By the way, Xin'er, grandpa will show you the list. Grandpa is not just being kind.

There were ten remote villages in total, and I only selected twenty-six households. They were all villages where I had seen medical treatment and knew their conditions well.

In the twenty-six families, there are either no elders in the family, only babies without father and mother. Either they are young and have no capable laborers to rely on.

These people are not able to change their lives by hard work. They are left with only pain and no sweetness all year round. "

Guan Ertu also told Xu Tianxin that he scraped the white crystals from the latrines to collect white crystals from people. Why did those people also scrape the latrines?

To eat as salt.

If you don’t believe me, try it. Scrape off the layer of white mud-like material from the stone surrounding the toilet, boil it in boiling water and boil it dry. Then you can use it as salt. The taste is almost the same as salt. His family has eaten it.

It's just that I only eat a little bit at home, because Guan Ertuo, as a doctor, knows that people in good health can only eat small amounts, and eating too much can easily lead to poisoning.

I didn't expect that thing to be able to blow up a house.

Xu Tianxin was shocked, eating saltpeter?

"Grandpa Guan, do you want to give them some more coarse salt? Even if you only give them a little, at least let them eat until the first month of the year. I feel that life will be better in the new year."

There was another rumor in the room that Xu Tianxin and Guan Ertuo were thinking about when to meet and write couplets without delaying their serious business.

In a few days, I will go to Shiliba Village to do good deeds, and I am destined to be delayed for several days.

So these days when you are at home, you have to work more during the day and advance the things that will be delayed later, so as not to delay making money.

In addition to the original pharmaceutical business, Xu Tianxin and Guan Ertu also want to expand their business, and plan to make Tusu wine for sale during the Chinese New Year.

On the one hand, it is sold to the people in surrounding villages. People here pay attention to drinking Tusu wine during the New Year.

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu. The Tusu in it refers to this wine.

They make it themselves and sell it to people in surrounding villages for a few cents cheaper than buying it outside.

And this wine was originally commemorated by Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo is a doctor, so on the other hand, Xu Tianxin and Guan Ertuo, as people who studied medicine, would be dignified by making this kind of New Year wine to send to relatives and friends.

It symbolizes driving away evil spirits, avoiding plague, and seeking longevity.

For example, Xu Tianxin planned to make it by herself and then give it to Huo Yunqian, Lu Yan, Jia Lai, Zhao Dashan, the grandfathers who worked under her in the village, and Bai Muyan's grandmother. Of course, she also has her own grandmother and grandma.

Xu Tianxin had already thought about it. When drinking Tusu wine on New Year's Eve, she would have a drink with her grandma face to face.     It can be seen that there is no time during the day. During the day, she and Grandpa Guan would prepare Tusu wine, which contained rhubarb, Sichuan pepper, Atractylodes macrocephala, Guixin, platycodon, aconite and cinnamon parsnips. Several of them required her to spend time learning from Grandpa Guan.

And being greedy and black means not being greedy. Xu Tianxin has been so busy recently that he has no time to read.

Grandpa Guan is even more busy. He often sells hemorrhoid medicine from the shop and treats colds for people. Sometimes he comes back in the middle of the night.

In the end, the two of them decided that they could only get up early to write couplets, steam dry food with red dates and freeze it. Then on the 25th and 6th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Tianxin's uncles took advantage of this time to help the village purchase a lot of pepper, aniseed, grains, oils and sugar. They wanted to go out to sell needles, thread, and brains, so they took the initiative to take jobs and went to remote villages to help sell, and then threw these New Year items to the twenty-six families.

"But I write couplets with ugly calligraphy. I can write them with charcoal, but with a brush..."

"My handwriting is even uglier."

"My handwriting is very distinctive, Grandpa Guan. What if someone recognizes it? Then they will guess that I did it?"

"Okay." Guan Ertu laughed and imitated Xu Tianxin's catchphrase: "Everyone is illiterate. You can't even detect the curse words you write. How can you expect to recognize the uniqueness of your handwriting?"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Xu shook her head with a smile and silently exited the Guan family courtyard.

She was going to pretend she didn't hear anything.

Mrs. Xu had thought before that when her granddaughter grew up, it would be impossible to tell her everything, and she would definitely have little secrets that belonged to her heart.

If this was the first time her granddaughter had kept a little secret from her, it was a good start. She was willing to pretend not to know for the rest of her life.

Needless to say, from that day on, Mrs. Xu pretended to be quite similar. She felt that she had some acting skills.

When she saw her granddaughter rubbing her eyes, sitting up and slapping her face to wake up early in the morning, Mrs. Xu held her breath and pretended not to be disturbed.

Then I listened to my granddaughter put on her shoes quietly. After closing the door, the old lady across the door asked Tian Xin'er: "Are you going to exercise again?"

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but laugh.

Because the old lady in the opposite room didn’t know what exercise meant at first, but now she could stand up with her arms and swish away. This was the first time I saw Tian Xin’er uncharacteristically not sleeping in and getting up. She was very puzzled and went out with her to have a look. What is Tian Xin'er going to do?

The old lady was shocked when she saw it.

In the eyes of the old lady, her great-granddaughter was standing in the yard, flinging her arms and walking away with the rooster crowing in the west yard. Then he got into a posture of taking off, and the thread of the armpits of the fine pigskin jacket was torn off, with a hole in it.

I thought this was scary enough, but I didn't expect that the movements were getting crazier and crazier, and my whole body was shaking as if it had been struck by lightning.

Do you think she can't be afraid? Anyone who saw her so early in the morning would think that she was possessed by Huang Pizi or a vixen from the mountains, forcing her sweetheart to tell fortunes.

So when she saw this scene for the first time, the old lady screamed and scolded: "Emma, ​​how old are our children? No matter who you are, please get off my great-grandson as soon as possible. Second daughter-in-law, hurry up." Son, here comes the peach wood sword!"

It was so lively at that time that even cows and dogs barked in the backyard.

Fortunately, I later explained it clearly, saying that this was for physical exercise, and that I would have to play Ba Duan Jin for a while before going out for a run. This was something that the old lady couldn’t understand in her heart. She had so much strength, so she could just work if she wanted to stay fit. Do you think chopping firewood is enough exercise?

Isn't that right? I've been persisting for three days now. Xu Tianxin was replying to her: "Ah, I can't breathe after I've pressed you a few times. If I want to be a good doctor, I will have to climb mountains to collect medicine. I must strengthen my body." Keep fit. I’m leaving, and I’m going to Grandpa Guan’s house for dinner this morning.”

The old lady muttered: "Go again, what kind of food can he get at his house? Besides, I really don't need to exercise, my bones are broken because of the pressure. If I have to work harder, can I still live?"

Old Mrs. Xu sat on the kang, opened the cotton curtain and looked out the window. She saw her granddaughter running away shouting, "Hoho, Haha, Haha." When she heard the old woman muttering those words, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

It’s not easy to be a good person without leaving your name and do good deeds. I got up early to write couplets, steamed steamed buns and steamed dates.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, it is Little New Year in the north.

Liu Laozhu took advantage of everyone to make dumplings at home, then went to work in the shop after eating in the morning, and called everyone to hold a village meeting.

The main content is: the total cost of the goods brought back by the Xu family this time was the cost of the fish that everyone caught collectively.

“And we’re going to sell it soon, what’s the price?

I suggest that the price should not be the same as what is sold in the town. Even if it is delivered to your door, people from other villages will say that we have a bad heart. Now it's cold and I don't want to buy anything. I will go to the town when the weather warms up, because you women like the same price, so you can choose for yourself.

So let’s discuss it with everyone. For the sake of the long term, we need to sell grain, oil, sweet and sour for two cents less per funnel. If this goes on for a long time, even if we sell it at the same price as in the town, the villages will still think that we are cheap. If we lay this foundation, we will It's easy to handle. Don't you think so, young and old? "

"Yes, Li Zheng, wind-proof and air-conditioned, you can decide for yourself!"

"Hey? Don't worry, one more person, who will go out to sell? These people still know how to drive a car and settle accounts. Will the eldest brother of the Wan family want to sell soy sauce? What will the Xu family do this time? Ah, sticky bean buns, auspicious pancakes and Tusu wine, who else has it? Hurry up and sell it together."

The auspicious cake is the cake that Mrs. Xu taught Yu Qinniang and Meizhuang, as well as the table full of daughter-in-law Xiaoyun and their second grandson Dafei.

Roll it out with steamed flour, add a few raw eggs and two spoons of honey. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was baked in a trough, so it was called trough cake.

It just so happens that people here pay attention to giving gifts and cakes during the New Year. No matter what kind of snacks, they are all named auspicious cakes. They are given to elders, relatives and friends, and girls in the second grade of junior high school will take some when they go back to their parents' homes.

Since Shiliba Village couldn't afford the particularly expensive one, Mrs. Xu chose the slightly lower cost trough cake that didn't waste sugar and didn't make any other tricks.

Xu Tianxin and Guan Ertu suddenly raised their hands: "We helped the village sell goods, and I, Grandpa Guan, learned how to drive a cart."

"Who?" Liu Laozhu thought he heard wrongly. He raised his feet and saw that it was really Tian Xin'er and Guan Ertu. He quickly shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, they are all people who make a lot of money. What are they selling? Tian. Xin'er, you owe a lot of goods to the boss outside, but you have to worry about your own head and body and help sell the goods? I'm worried about you, but it can't be done!"

"..." In fact, Xu Tianxin has not made glycerin yet.

First, it didn’t take long for the fifty filters to arrive. Secondly, in the half month since it was delivered, she has been busy making medicines and cosmetics, and filtering high-quality wine to prepare for delivery. Third, okay, hurry up and hurry up. When the new year starts, the girls who are close to you will devote themselves to production and smoke for the general's glycerin filter.

Mrs. Xu glanced at her granddaughter and interjected: "Let them go." The rose left a lingering fragrance in her hand.

"People who study medicine need to know which villages have mountains and slopes, and they have to go to collect medicines in the spring. My granddaughter has not been anywhere else, so she just happened to be taking a stroll."

Xu Tianxin immediately became happy: "Yes, yes, I want to go out for a walk."

No one dared to question Mrs. Xu when she spoke, but Liu Laozhu still frowned: Damn Leng Hantian, this kid seems a bit stupid and doesn't mind suffering.

Xu Tianxin pointed at Liu Jingdong: "However, we need to load and unload the cow dung and fodder for heating quickly. It is best to use three trucks to load the goods. Can Grandpa Li Zheng ask Uncle Jingdong to follow? There are not so many people driving the trucks. My brother Big Bird is also following me.”

Mrs. Xu understood immediately when she heard that one was "stupid" and straight-forward, and the other was young. Both of them were easy to fool. No one would know if they took the opportunity to do good or good deeds.

When Liu Laozhu heard that Tian Xin asked for Liu Jingdong, he said without hesitation this time: "Okay." He could compose poems even if he was not prepared when he went out.

The next day, Xu Tianxin's car had already been loaded with things. He listened to his wife telling Liu Jingdong: "Go into the cave. I know you are wronged. Who do you think you provoked? Be careful and your father will let you suffer the consequences." But among the four of them, you are the most important. If someone goes to another village to cause trouble, you should protect her. This woman in our family is not helpful when encountering a woman who loves to take advantage of others. She will not quarrel or curse. "

Liu Jingdong responded immediately and scolded him.

When the car was on the road, Xu Tianxin suggested that we go to some remote villages to sell goods this time, "Those are the places that really need New Year's goods, don't you think?"

Entering the cave is really a kind-hearted kid: "I think we should change the route!"

So the surprise New Year gift for the first family is about to be delivered.

After Xu Tianxin finished selling her goods, she used her urine escape skill to run to the door of a poor person's house. She asked Grandpa Guan to stand far away and was throwing flying tiger claws at the wall of the house. Then she grabbed the rope and climbed up.

When Xu Tianxin was lying on the wall laughing, Guan Ertu had something to say, which he didn't know whether to say or not. In fact, the door of this house opened as soon as he pushed it. There was no need for a latch, because mice would cry and leave when they entered the house. They just threw things in when they were done. Well, what kind of wall are you climbing?
