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

Chapter 305 Reunited with Second Sister Again

Li Yuzhu was obviously stunned when he heard Wang Nanzhou actively begging for food.My eldest son is an honest and kind-hearted person. He has not been a strong child since he was a child. He has never fought for anything. What happened today?

But thinking about it, it was late at night, and seeing the two of them in such a state of desolation, she went back to the kitchen without saying a word, took out two pieces, and put them into his hands.

Wang Chengzhou and Wang Aiduo looked away, feeling sentimental in their hearts, feeling very pitiful for their eldest brother's miserable situation.

It was taken for granted that because there was no woman in the family, the father and son were reduced to the point where they could not even have a bite of hot rice.

Wang Nanzhou carefully took the Poria Cake wrapped in a drawer cloth, held it on his chest, picked up Xiao Haibo with his other hand, and hurried away.

Watching the figures of the father and son disappear into the darkness, the atmosphere in the yard felt a little depressing for a while.

Xu Xiaozhi wisely stood up and said goodbye to the family.

Li Yuzhu quickly took her little hand and walked her to the door, reluctantly saying:
"Xiao Zhi, remember to come over tomorrow night."

"Tomorrow is August [-]th. It's the day for family reunions. You bunch of educated youths staying outside alone will definitely start to miss home."

"You are friends with our Chengzhou family. You are not allowed to see anyone outside. Tomorrow, call Comrade Yu Hua and the three male educated youths. It's a festival. The poor will celebrate it, and the rich will celebrate it. Let's all gather together to enjoy it. Just make it lively!”

Xu Xiaozhi's eyes sparkled and she nodded obediently.

Wang Aiduo had a sullen face and said carelessly: "Mom, are you still wasting your time with these words? If she doesn't come, I will tie her up too!"

Li Yuzhu rolled her eyes at her and said goodbye to Xu Xiaozhi with a smile.

August [-]th is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The three months of autumn are Mengqiu, Zhongqiu and Jiqiu.

The arrival of August [-]th means that autumn is already halfway through.

According to local custom, everyone will visit their natal family to visit relatives.

This time is also when young couples are most likely to have conflicts.When you go back to your parents' home, you have to buy gifts. The poor and humble couple are in trouble. The originally harmonious and beautiful couple are very likely to be embarrassed because of a few dollars.

This year, however, is a little different.

Early in the morning, as soon as it dawned, people began to dig into the cemetery. For no other reason than to get some rosin and cypress to exchange for some money at Wang Chengzhou's house.

Some are even young couples together, not afraid of heavy dew and poor vision.Although he was sweating from the busy work, his face was full of smiles.

So, before I even had time to have breakfast, the business started coming.

Wang Chengzhou knew that today was a special day and did not dare to neglect. He took a few bites and started to weigh everyone.

The yard was full of people, but everyone's face was beaming with joy.

intersection.

A gay man with a cheerful face walked out from the corner, holding a stack of mooncakes wrapped in kraft paper high in his hand, with a conspicuous piece of drawing paper on top, which looked very high-end.

The most conspicuous thing about him is a fine coat.The reason why it stood out was not because it was a brand new piece of clothing, which seemed to have been specially pressed and looked angular; but because it was very wide, with the hem almost reaching the knees, and it didn't fit at all.

Following him was a woman holding a child.This woman's facial features are particularly beautiful, and she is in her early twenties. She should be beautiful and gorgeous, but perhaps the hardship of life has prematurely cast a layer of gray on her. There is a hint of age between her eyebrows. The tiredness and haggardness that one should have made people look extremely pity.

The child in her arms, on the other hand, has a pair of big eyes full of intelligence, dark hair tied into two horns, and a pink face, which is particularly cute.

The man was carrying a gift, dressed brightly, and walked with a sense of self-satisfaction and pride, probably because he thought of his father-in-law's long face.

But as soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I saw a huge crowd.Those people were crowded in the courtyard one by one, with smiles on their faces, and a bit of flattery, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

heart said:

Why does this house look like a nobleman's mansion and be so lively?

His father-in-law and his family are all honest and good people, and they are popular in the village. But because of this, in his eyes, they are just a family of ordinary people who cannot make a difference, and no one is willing to come to their home to get close to them.

After all, people like to have a high profile.

But in today's situation...could it be possible that my brother-in-law, who walks like a monkey with camel hooves, is up to something?
Zhang Quanfa hid at the door and observed for a while, but suddenly he was a little afraid to go in.

It turned out that the three people who came were the second sister Wang Aixian's family.

Finally, a man from the village recognized the couple and shouted loudly: "Honghe, stop being busy now, my uncle is here!"

When everyone heard this, they panicked and urged:

"Chengzhou, hurry up, hurry up, everyone visiting relatives has arrived home, and we haven't gone out yet. Hurry up, help us weigh the scales, and get the money, so we can go buy gifts!"

"No, you came so early? Wife, let's go later? When I get to your house, I don't know what to say when I see your father..."

"Fart! You are not active in accompanying me back to my parents' house on August [-]th. What do you want to do? It's your father, your father's, that's your father-in-law!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

However, country people are very competitive. Seeing that my uncle had arrived early, many people couldn't stay any longer and began to push forward one by one.

Wang Chengzhou and his family wanted to greet Zhang Quanfa, but they couldn't get away, so they could only speed up as much as possible so that the young and old men could get the money quickly without delaying their visit to relatives.

Zhang Quanfa greeted everyone in the village with a fake smile, adjusting his sleeves that covered his hands from time to time, and curiously watching the family busy.

Seeing how busy the family was, the second sister Wang Aixian quickly put Zhang Shengnan down and left her alone. She immediately squeezed in to help.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the yard finally became quiet.

Wang Aiduo exaggeratedly pinched her waist, almost unable to stand due to exhaustion. When she caught the second sister's eye, she rushed forward with a smile and hugged her arm, "How many days have it been? How come you don't come to see me?" its me!"

"Wang Chengzhou is just bullying me at home. I'm waiting for you to come back and vent your anger on me!"

"Second sister, I miss you!"

This girl is still so naughty and childish.

Looking at the little sister she hadn't seen for several months, Wang Aixian's eyes instantly turned red. She arranged her hair and choked with sobs:

"I also want to come back to see you, but I'm too busy at home..."

"Your brother-in-law was sent to a labor camp for several days. During that time, it was during the summer harvest. I didn't earn many work points by myself, and the food I was given was not enough to eat. So, after autumn, I dare not miss a day's work. There is no way. "Isn't the second sister here? Don't make me cry."

Wang Aiduo's eye circles also turned red, he turned his head and said angrily:
"Zhang Quanfa, have you tricked my second sister again?"

"How could she be so thirsty?"

"Did you do any serious work during the autumn harvest?"

"Hey, let me tell you, why didn't I work well?"

Zhang Quanfa immediately became unhappy. When he walked up, he was still fiddling with his clothes, "You can't blame me for the bitterness of life now. Everyone's life is not very sweet anyway."

"In order to take good care of Aixian and Shengnan, I didn't miss a day's work during the entire autumn harvest."

"Not only that, I also made a lot of food and drink to support my family during my spare time."

Wang Aiduo was stunned and looked at his second sister with disbelief.

Wang Aixian didn't seem to want to say anything more. She nodded and changed the subject, "San'er, are you preparing..."

Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe felt a little better when they saw that their son-in-law was really more honest and knew that he was working in the fields to help his wife earn work points. The expressions on their faces softened and they interrupted:

"Let's go. If you have anything to say, we can talk to you inside."

"Your brother is collecting medicinal materials. Yesterday, the brigade proposed to clear the forest for land reclamation. The three of them felt sorry for those pine trees, so they forced themselves to find a living for the young and old men, and spent money to buy rosin and cypress from each household. . I had a falling out with those brigade cadres in front of the whole village. I guess Lord Xie Tielin already hates him to death."

"In order to collect these things, your brother has paid a hundred yuan to go in, but I don't know if he can earn back the money in the future..."

After meeting her own daughter, Li Yuzhu finally expressed her anxiety, but she heard Wang Aiduo yelling:
"Mom, what are you talking about!"

"Is my brother the kind of person who does business at a loss? What do you mean by whether he can make it back? He doesn't believe in his son at all!"

"I believe that these rosin and cypress will definitely help my brother make a lot of money in the future."

When he heard about making a lot of money, Zhang Quanfa's eyes immediately lit up. He couldn't help but move forward, opened a sack, and took a look inside.

However, looking at those weird things, he really couldn't figure out the reason.

Wang Aixian looked at her brother, who seemed to have grown up, and said fondly:
"Mom, I think you don't have to worry."

"San'er is now a capable person. He is the most promising person in our family now. I also think that what he does should not be wrong."

"He has read so many books, and we may not be able to understand much of the knowledge in his head in our lifetime. As family members, we just need to stand behind and support him."

When Wang Aiduo heard this, his eyebrows immediately curved up, he went up to hug her arm, held his head high and said, "It has to be my second sister!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu also had smiles on their faces. Looking at the gentle and decent eldest daughter in front of them, they couldn't help but glance at Zhang Quanfa and sighed again.

Wang Chengzhou felt equally warm in his heart. The second sister was still the same as before. She was obviously a rural woman with little experience, but she could always do amazing things at critical moments.

Warmth flowed in his heart, and Wang Chengzhou's mood improved. He couldn't help but bend down, clapped his hands, and coaxed: "Xiao Shengnan, do you miss your uncle?"

Zhang Shengnan kept holding on to his mother's trouser legs and timidly hid behind him to peek at him. When he saw him smiling at him, he rushed towards him as if he were flying early and said with a sweet smile: "Little uncle!"

Wang Chengzhou picked him up, and the little guy hugged his neck, staring at him with his big eyes and grinning silly.

After not seeing each other for several months, this little girl has completely recovered.Because her parents' genes are relatively good, she looks pretty and pretty, and is indescribably smart and cute.

It seemed that what Zhang Quanfa said was true. He had put a lot of thought into his daughter. Looking at the look on his face, he knew that she had eaten well. Looking at the newly cut clothes on his body, Wang Chengzhou couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Quanfa seemed to have finally found something to talk about, and kept boasting about himself, saying how much he had earned during this period, how many noble people he had met, and how much prestige he had gained.

Eloquent, eloquent.

The whole family knew that he had such a temperament, and they did not expose him. They all agreed with him.

Moreover, he became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, reaching out to grab his coat and showing off:

"Chengzhou, did you see it? It's really good!"

"You may have seen such nice clothes, but you have definitely never worn them."

"Come on, brother-in-law, let you touch it. When you go out in the future, you will have something to brag about!"

Wang Chengzhou grinned, a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry after a while, and he didn't know whether to refuse.

Wang Aiduo simply rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Wang Aixian couldn't help but glare at him, not expecting him to be so shameless.Others don't know, but she knows where her man's clothes come from. He borrowed them shamelessly to show off his face!
It’s not shameful to brag about it!
Noticing his wife's gaze, Zhang Quanfa's face turned slightly red, but he still said firmly:

"Yes, I borrowed these clothes from the next village."

"Maybe it's our ability to borrow it!"

"This shows that I, Zhang Quanfa, am very popular. Who among the men from all over the country would not be able to look up to me?"

Seeing him bravely admit that the clothes he was wearing were borrowed, it was beyond the expectations of the whole family. Although they still disliked him for being unreasonable, they gave him some praise for his uprightness.

However, after hearing this, Wang Aixian's face looked a little ugly, and she simply shook her hair and stopped looking at him.

There must be something hidden here.

Wang Chengzhou realized something immediately, but today is August [-]th, which is the day of reunion. It is best for the family to be harmonious, and it is better not to get to the bottom of some things.

Thinking of this, he pretended not to notice and wanted to continue teasing his little niece.

But as soon as he lowered his head, the expression on his face froze, and his eyes immediately became serious.

Cuckoo!
There was no movement in her throat. The little girl suddenly shrank her shoulders and made a strange sound.Noticing that he was staring at her, she subconsciously twisted her waist back and forth, blinked her big eyes and said, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Wang Chengzhou smiled at her, pinched her wrist, and felt it carefully. The expression on his face suddenly became confused. He opened her little hand again, stared into her eyes for a while, and couldn't help but scratch his head.

The whole family had already noticed his movements, all stared at him, and they were so nervous that they didn't dare to say anything.

Especially the second sister Wang Aixian, because she had learned from the past, she was afraid that she would get some strange disease again, so she was so frightened that she stammered: "San'er, you... what are you looking at?"
