Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 182 Let the eldest girl worry about you
A small storm passed like this.

The current concept is that Wang Chengzhou can't do much for Yang Qiaoer. He only hopes that after this incident, she will be less beaten and scolded by her parents at home.If he survives until he gets married safely, it will not be in vain for this junior to get close to him.

It would be great if Yang Qiaoer could get into school by relying on her intelligence when the college entrance examination resumes at the end of the year.

However, judging from her family situation, it is probably very uncertain.

The couple Yang Shutiao and Zhang Huiping had already planned to get into trouble on the road to giving birth to a son, fearing that they would get rid of the burdens on the family as soon as possible.

The biggest possibility is to wait for Yang Qiaoer to grow up for another year or two, then find a family for her and marry her.

When he thought of her picturesque eyebrows and bright temperament, Wang Chengzhou couldn't help but sigh, with unspeakable regret in his heart.

However, the current era is about to be turbulent, and the fate of many people will undergo huge changes. There are too many people who deserve to be regretted.

How many people can Wang Chengzhou, a small village health worker, take care of?
After all, the adobe bricks used to build the house have not been finished yet!

After lunch, the family simply went to the threshing floor under the bright sun.

It wasn't that they were risking their lives in order to rush to work, but it was because there were no fans in those days and the house was too hot. Instead of being stuffy in the house, it was better to go to the fields and find a cool place to get some fresh air.

In order to pass the boring time, Wang Aiduo also took books to the field. The brother and sister leaned on the same big tree and chatted.

When Li Yuzhu saw her working in the fields and holding a book, she felt so awkward and couldn't help but want to scold her.

It can be seen that the brother and sister were asking and answering questions seriously, but they were suddenly stunned, opened their mouths, and turned away from looking at them.

After a busy afternoon, the blanking work finally came to an end.

There are several piles of sun-dried bricks. As long as we have another morning of work tomorrow, we can push them into the brick kiln for firing.

In those days, unlike now, everyone used blue bricks to build their houses.

The main reason is that the firing temperature of red bricks is relatively high, and coal is generally required.The villagers couldn't even afford a single briquette, so how could they be willing to take truckloads of them to burn bricks?

Furthermore, the appearance of blue bricks is simple and natural, which is more in line with the current people's aesthetics.

Rich people in the village generally use blue bricks to build their houses, and the brick joints are painted with white ash. They look simple, elegant and bright, and just thinking about them makes people excited.

Si Ya was so tired that sweat was dripping from her face, but after listening to Wang Chengzhou's description, her eyes became much brighter and she felt energetic again.

The whole family was filled with joy.

"San'er, after the kiln is installed tomorrow, you don't have to worry about it."

Li Yuzhu wiped away her sweat, held up a shovel, and kept finely beating the clay. "It takes several days to burn the kiln, so there are no need for so many people to watch."

"You take advantage of the time to catch up with the group of green mules and go to the half-tank to buy back the small tiles."

"During the off-season, there are more houses being built. You might have to queue up if you go there. When you bring the little tile back, we can get out of the kiln."

When Wang Honghe heard this, he stopped what he was doing and said worriedly:
"San'er, bring some dry food with you when you go."

"What you said is right. Our entire Wang family brigade does not have a kiln for burning tiles. If you want to build a house, you have to go to the Laoyulin brigade to buy one. If you catch up with the kiln, you may have to wait a day or two."

"When you arrive, you have to keep an eye on the big green mule to make sure nothing happens."

He was afraid of bad luck and did not dare to go into details.

However, the whole family knew what was going on.

It is said that poor people come out of poverty, not because the environment is bad, but because people are poor, have short ambitions, and have difficulties in life. Who cares so much about it?

When Wang Nanzhou heard this, his face was full of worry, and he said angrily: "Dad, how about I go with San'er?"

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu immediately frowned.

With his eldest son's nature, he wouldn't even say a word when meeting a stranger. Apart from looking at the car, there was really not much use there.

But as a parent, I couldn't directly say it and hurt my child's face, so I was a little embarrassed for a while.

Wang Chengzhou took a look and said with a smile:
"Brother, why are you so lazy?"

"I just don't want to work that's why I suggested going to Laoyu Forest to buy a small tile. How can you come with me?"

"It's exhausting to install the kiln, so you can just work hard for me at home for a few days!"

When Wang Nanzhou heard this, he believed it, smiled generously, and nodded, "Okay!"

"Then I'll help at home."

"But, San'er, when our parents get older, you have to learn to work more. It's not okay to just wander around all the time."

"Eh!"

Wang Chengzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled sweetly.

I feel really helpless and respectful towards my elder brother.

Honest man!

How could Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe fail to hear what he said?Seeing this, she couldn't help but glance at him, then looked at her honest and honest eldest son, sighed and shook her head.

When it was dark, Wang Caiyun came there under the escort of his brother Wang Jianguo.

It was agreed the day before yesterday that she would have an abortion.

Wang Chengzhou even used this as a condition to exchange the right to use the big green mule with the village chief Wang Tielin. It was time to cash in.

Sighing, he looked at Xiaojiao sadly and muttered:
"Sister Caiyun, have you made your decision?"

"You really don't plan to have this child?"

"You know, the Gospel of Luke says: You are blessed among women... for as soon as your voice of greeting reaches my ears, the fetus in my belly loves to beat."

Pepper blinked, looking confused, not understanding what he was talking about.

When Wang Jianguo heard this, he immediately became angry and glared at him and said:

"Wang Chengzhou, stop minding your own business!"

"This is a new era. With the spread of Western civilization, any woman has the right to fight for freedom. Whether or not to have children is her own business, and no one else can make irresponsible remarks."

"Your feudal and decadent old-fashioned ideas should have been swept into the garbage heap of history long ago!"

Seeing him jumping into his own pit, Wang Chengzhou sneered and said pitifully: "Wang Jianguo, opposing abortion under all circumstances is what you call Western civilization!"

Wang Jianguo choked for a moment, and then he realized that the words in "The Gospel of Luke" were very foreign, as if they were indeed not Chinese...

Seeing that his always proud eldest brother was blushing at Wang Chengzhou's few words, Little Pepper smacked his lips and thought to himself: Why do you always mess with him when you have nothing to do?ask for contempt!

Wang Chengzhou winked at her and started to install the baby for her.

Wang Jianguo was at a disadvantage again, but he did not forget his mission.He snorted coldly and stared at the silver needle in his hand intently.

Seeing him obediently injecting needles on Wang Caiyun's calf and tiger's mouth, he couldn't help but feel proud again, and thought to himself: Wang Chengzhou, no matter how capable you are, don't you have to bow to the situation?Obediently give my sister an abortion!

The two of them had their own thoughts and were busy, and finally sent Wang Caiyun away before dark.

In the evening, the family got busy again.

Because of Wang Honghe's words, Li Yuzhu insisted on cutting the silver carp sent by Xiaojiao into pieces and frying it.

He was told to take it with him to eat on the road when he went to Laoyu Forest to buy a small tile.

Fried fish consumes a lot of oil, and the family usually doesn't want to part with it, so they always fry or boil it.

Looking at the fried golden fish pieces, I was so greedy that I swallowed my saliva.

When Wang Chengzhou saw this, he quietly stole a piece and stuffed it into her hand.

The little girl grinned because she was so hot, but she couldn't bear to let go, so she ran out with a thief in her hand. "Three children!"

However, Li Yuzhu still found out and couldn't help but glare at him, "Why are you feeding her?"

"She is like a greedy cat. How can she have enough to eat?"

"I told you to go to Laoyu Forest to buy a small tile. If you are unlucky, you may have to wait three or two days. When I saw it, I didn't bring enough food. Aren't your teeth hungry?"

Wang Chengzhou grinned and said casually: "It's okay, it's okay, there are no vegetables, I can even eat steamed buns!"

"You!"

Li Yuzhu sighed and saw Si Ya hiding behind the door frame, holding fish pieces in her hand but not daring to eat. Instead, she stared at the situation in the room with wide eyes. She couldn't help but laughed and cursed and kicked her out.

This girl was obviously afraid that her brother would be scolded, so she decided to decide whether to eat or not to eat based on how angry I was.

During dinner, Xu Xiaozhi stood on the wall and called him again.

Wang Chengzhou walked over curiously, and saw her stretching out her white hands and handing over a few fragrant things, "Here."

I picked it up and saw that it was a climbing fork.

It's fried to a crispy texture and sprinkled with salt and pepper, but just looking at it makes people drool.

"Where did you come from?"

Wang Chengzhou looked confused.This girl, who was so frightened by the climbing fork that she cried before, is now like eating edamame, lying on the wall eating until her mouth is full of oil.

"Shh!"

Xu Xiaozhi took a sneak peek and lowered her voice: "We touched it behind Xu Wannian's back. Yu Hua was afraid that he would be irritated when he saw it, so he asked us to eat it quietly and not loudly."

Wang Chengzhou grinned and coughed from laughter.

This is too miserable for Xu Wannian...

Xu Xiaozhi narrowed her eyes and laughed. Her little face was round and seemed to be much fatter than a few days ago. She was indescribably sweet and cute.

He pinched it and kindly reminded:
"This thing has a high protein content, and it's fried and rich in fat. You have to be careful not to gain weight. This little face is like jelly."

Xu Xiaozhi angrily slapped his slap away, rolled her eyes, and stuffed another one into her mouth.

Wang Chengzhou was speechless, too lazy to care about her, and whispered:

"Tomorrow I have to go to Laoyu Forest to buy a small tile, and you won't be able to see me for several days."

"Be careful in the next few days and don't get sick."

"Otherwise, no one will care about you."

When Xu Xiaozhi heard this, she stared blankly for a while. Suddenly, she jumped off the wall and trotted into the house.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Chengzhou frowned.

"Here, take them all!"

Xu Xiaozhi went and came back, climbed up the wall, and handed over a small white bowl with difficulty. It was filled with fried forks, and the aroma was fragrant.

"Here, how do you eat it all if it's all for me?"

"If you don't eat, you'll gain weight."

Xu Xiaozhi clapped her little hands and said with an indifferent expression, "You can take it with you on the road and eat it in a steamed bun when you're hungry. It's delicious."

Wang Chengzhou was silent for a while, feeling a little moved in his heart.

"Okay, I'm going back."

Xu Xiaozhi jumped down, but found that she had come down too recklessly. She stood on tiptoes again and waved her hand, "When you leave tomorrow, remember to return the bowl to me!"

Wang Chengzhou was completely speechless.

The next day, the family got up early, went to the fields, finished the last bit of work, and started pushing bricks into the brick kiln.

Baking bricks is also a delicate job and generally requires the guidance of an experienced master.

However, since most of them come from poor rural areas, most of them have made their own bricks in order to build their houses. Anyone who is old enough can be considered half a master craftsman.

Wang Honghe always helps people, so for him, burning kilns is no problem.

The entire brick-firing process can be roughly divided into four steps, namely: loading the kiln, firing the kiln, burning the kiln, and leaving the kiln.

It will probably take three or four days for everyone to come down.

When the time comes, roll out the green bricks and your family can officially build a house!

When I think about the rainy season approaching, it will rain heavily outside, but the whole family will be able to live in a large, sturdy and bright house. They will no longer have to worry when going to bed at night, and they will feel full of strength.

No need to stay in that thatched house that makes people wonder if it will collapse in the next second when it rains!

When the sun rose, the family finally finished installing the kiln.

Wang Honghe and Wang Nanzhou went home to transport firewood, while Li Yuzhu and Wang Aiduo stayed there to look at the kiln.

Wang Chengzhou took advantage of the early morning meal time to go home, wash up, and return the small white bowl to Xu Xiaozhi.

This girl has almost adapted to life in the countryside. When she wakes up in the morning, she is no longer drowsy.Even early in the morning, he helped Uncle Changsheng sell two carts of tofu.

Seeing that he was leaving, Xu Xiaozhi held the rice bowl and didn't seem to care much. She waved her hand and continued to squat on the ground to eat.

Wang Chengzhou found Lao Yangtou and expressed his intention to come.

After what happened to his granddaughter Yang Qiaoer, not to mention that he had said hello to Wang Tielin in advance, even if he hadn't, Old Yang would have decided to lend him the big green mule on his own initiative.

That life-saving kindness, despite Yang Shutiao and Zhang Huiping's pretentiousness, is very precious in the hearts of the older generation.

"Little Chengzhou and Big Green Mule are strong, but they also eat a lot."

Old Yangtou helped him set up the car and warned:

"I heard that you are going to Laoyu Forest to buy a small tile. This trip may take several days."

"When we get to the birthplace, it doesn't matter if the person suffers a little bit, but the animal must be taken care of. After all, it is the treasure of the team, so it can't have any accidents."

"As the saying goes: cows and pigs eat fine grass, and mules and horses eat grain. The big green mule is here to do heavy work with you, and it can't just eat grass."

When Wang Chengzhou heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many things to pay attention to when using animals.

So, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Big brother, then I have to go home and get some food for it?"

In these days, food is very precious, and people are reluctant to eat it. It is really distressing to use it to feed livestock.

"no, I'm fine!"

Old Yangtou grinned, turned back to the barn, took out half a bag of things, looked at him with a meaningful smile and said:

"You're such a lucky boy. Every time you go out, there are beautiful girls thinking about you."

"Besides, she is a girl from the city, which is really enviable."

"Take it, I've prepared it for you."

Wang Chengzhou was a little confused, and the figure of Xu Xiaozhi flashed in his mind.

But when she went out, she looked indifferent, and she didn't look like someone who would worry about herself?
