Chapter 8
Fast forward five days, both Cheng Xue and Li Hui are getting better.

Every morning when Li Hui got up, he would take Li Heng out to exercise, and then went for a jog around the village before coming back for dinner.Go to work after dinner and come back in the evening.

Cheng Xue taught three children to read and write at home, tidy up this, tidy up that, and one day will pass.

After drinking the decoction for five days in a row, I felt my body improved obviously.

The last time I came to town with Li Heng, it took half an hour.This time there was only one stick of incense.And there are more than six catties of things on the body, so I don't feel tired.

When entering the city, first look for the Sitong Bank. This is what Li Hui asked the shopkeeper of the forestry farm.

The bank was opened by the Liangyan court. Although the price is higher, it is guaranteed that the banknotes will not become waste paper in an instant.

With the cash in hand, she relaxed, and she started the shopping mode.

Unlike the last time I came to the town, although I was shopping around this time, I would not be reluctant to search.

Cotton, cotton cloth, large bathtub, roast chicken, pork, river carp, vegetables, seasonings, knives...

The forest farm is closed today, and Li Hui asked Dong Cheng and Guo Dake to come to work.

As a modern person, I really can't bear to take a bath every few months.So after discussing and deciding, the Kang in the first room in Xitou was demolished, the fire wall was rebuilt, and it was converted into a bathroom.

I bought a lot of meat, and I am grateful for what happened last time.

The hired car was still the mule cart from last time. The driver remembered her and said hello:

"Little lady looks more energetic today, and is in good health?"

"Please remember, it's much better."

The coachman helped to load all the things into the car, and went to the steward to register and get the license plate.

They have to record every trip, and not everyone can be a driver, they need to know the basics and have a guarantor.

Cheng Xue put cotton, cotton cloth, vegetable seeds, etc. into the tub.

This not only saves space, but also makes the tub stable.

After leaving the city, the coachman chatted with her, talking about a lot of things that happened in other villages recently.

Why did the daughter-in-law of this village go back to her mother’s house, and the sisters-in-law in that village had a fight, and the other village set fire to the house when they danced to the gods...

When talking about all the topics, it's not that the parents are short-sighted, or they are dancing to the gods and inviting the immortals.

She just listens to it for fun, and occasionally expresses her personal opinion.

"Little lady is right. This natal family is not tough, so the in-law's family naturally doesn't take the daughter-in-law seriously. Anyway, if the old Zhao family is trying to torture my daughter like this, I will definitely not be able to do it."

"How old is the elder brother's daughter?"

"How can there be a girl, there are six boys in my family."

Uh……

Come one more, you can summon the dragon.

Talking and laughing and returning to Wanghe Village, just like last time, the mule cart detoured home.Helped carry the things into the house, and even begged for a bowl of water, probably talking too much.

Cheng Xue watched him drive away before going to the study to hide the bank notes.

The price of the house in the county is not clear, but they decided to exchange it for five hundred spares, rather more than less.

Regardless of the large amount of money left, two dowry gifts, two dowries, and going to Beijing for the exam all cost money.

The gossip I heard today is basically mother-in-law talking about daughter-in-law.She has two daughters, and she needs to be able to support her daughters.

Looking at the medical books on the table, I decided to start working hard after I was busy for a while, and first read through the lonely books on gynecology.

The women of the big family in the deep house get sick, and some of them shy away from medical treatment.But if the doctor is a woman, then you don't have to worry about it, you can say anything.

The study was locked again and returned to the main room. Li Yue was looking at the pork belly on the stove, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"Mother, why do you buy so much meat? It's a lot of money."

According to visual inspection, it weighs more than ten catties, and more than one tael of silver.

"It's rare to find you Sanbo Dong and Uncle Guo to come over for dinner. There's plenty of meat to eat. What's more, it's cold and you can put it aside. The leftovers are fried with heavy salt. Put some in the stir-fried vegetables in the future. It's delicious!" Cheng Xue said as she spoke. cut meat.

Encouragement to make children fat is not just thinking about it, but putting it into action.

"Tangtang, you take Tie Dan to pick beans, and take the racks along the way."

"okay."

When Li Yue went out to work, Cheng Xue brought a large basin, spread it on a thick cushion, put Li Huai in it, and asked Li Tian to sit outside and watch.

After weaning, Li Huai obviously pilafed rice. Although he ate very simple, he could eat half a bowl of millet soup with egg yolks in one meal.

Looking at the baby while cooking, I feel at ease.

The braised pork and fish are stewed first, and then the leftover meat is fried in a small stove, and the oil and meat are put into the jar together.

Li Yue picked up three baskets of beans and two baskets of eggplants, and piled them all up in the yard.Cheng Xue took a basin out to pick, and left the shredded vegetables and pickled garlic eggplants.

Hoarding vegetables is a habit left by the ancestors. She can carry it forward and add more samples.

"Yo, Tie Dan Niang is busy!"

Patriarch Li Fang said as he opened the door to enter the courtyard. Cheng Xue pointed to the bench beside her and said:

"Second uncle, sit down, what's the matter?"

A full five days passed after that day, and I thought the old man could bear it any longer, but unexpectedly he rushed here.

Li Fang made a heavy "ah" sound, deliberately sarcastically said:

"Just talk in the yard? A new rule in your family?"

Under Xu Geng's "vigorous publicity", almost everyone in the village knew that the four children of the Li family were named, and they did not follow the family tree.

Cheng Xue focused on picking beans and eggplants without looking up.

"Second Uncle's chatter is really interesting. What are the rules? The old farmer is so particular. If Second Uncle is not used to it, let's go into the room and talk about it. I'm just busy cooking."

"You talk about this, how can I enter the house? Let's talk about it."

"Ah, that's fine." Cheng Xue continued to work, but still didn't look at him.

Li Fang couldn't get angry, and could only sulk secretly.

"That's it. Tie Dan is 7 years old. When do you plan to let him enter the ethnology? I mean, send him tomorrow. The sooner he is enlightened, the better, so he won't be tired."

Cheng Xue raised her head this time, pretending to be sorry and said:
"Thank you, Second Uncle, but this kid is uncertain and can't be delivered. He also filled the rat hole in the warehouse with water yesterday, so let me give him a good beating."

It is true that there is something to fill the mouse hole, but she didn't open it, and she also poured it along with it.

Li Fang rolled his eyes and waved his hands indifferently——

"A seven-year-old and an eight-year-old are hated by dogs, there is no child who will not be scoured. You can rest assured that the child..."

"Forget it, I won't give it away." Cheng Xue interrupted him, "If he touches or drops something in the ethnology, I have no money to pay for it."

"It's okay, why are you worried about me being there?" Li Fang insisted.

Don't worry if you're here!

Cheng Xue curled her lips and continued to shake her head.

"No, Second Uncle, wait another two years for him to decide. I'm sick and take medicine, which cost me a lot. If he wants to create some unwarranted famine for me, I can't bear it."

If this old guy hadn't been a scholar, he wouldn't be able to be the patriarch or manage the ethnology at all.He looks shrewd, but in fact he is not very smart.All the little calculations are put on the face, and everyone is fooled.

"It's not that serious, you see..."

"Second Uncle, I'm really busy today. I won't chat with you anymore. I have to cook first."

After Cheng Xue finished speaking, she got up and left without giving him any chance to stop her...
