pastoral little wife

Chapter 159 Help (1)
Yun Duo was stunned for a moment, "Is your father... very serious?" Could it be that he is critically ill?

Guo Erlang's eyes turned red, "The doctor in the village said that it's about to die."

"The doctor in the village said it's no good, so let's find the doctor in the town!" Yun Duo said.

Guo Erlang looked at Yun Duo with red eyes, hesitant to speak.

Yun Duo knew that the doctors in the town were expensive, and it cost a lot of money to get the medicine. The food sold last time was probably used up.She was about to speak when Nie Dalang came out.

Nie Dalang looked at Guo Erlang, "What do you want to say about this?"

Guo Erlang immediately lowered his head.

Yun Duo dragged Nie Dalang down, not helping the poor, but Guo Shugen was sick, and he was Nie Dalang's biological father anyway, since Guo Erlang also came to find him, they would help.

Nie Dalang looked indifferent and stopped Yun Duo from speaking.

Yun Duo opened his mouth and said nothing more.Nie Dalang was pushed out to give to others, and he lived a life of being bullied and insulted in Nie's house. He was just young, so he inevitably felt resentful.

Guo Erlang looked at Yun Duo, then at Nie Dalang, seeing that neither of them spoke, his eyes turned redder, and he clenched his fists, "I'm here... I beg you... to borrow some money to treat my father's illness."

"It's okay to borrow money, how much?" Nie Dalang would ask.

Guo Erlang raised his head and looked at Nie Dalang, with sadness in his eyes, he pursed his lips, "Borrow... two taels!"

Nie Dalang gave him a two-liang silver ingot.

Guo Erlang took the money and left quickly.

Yun Duo turned her head and looked at Nie Dalang with a smile. Even though she felt resentful and awkward, she still helped the Guo family.

Nie Dalang saw her smiling eyebrows and eyes crooked, glanced deeply outside the door, and went back to the room to continue practicing calligraphy.

Yunduo has wasted Miao Hongben, and the rice paper bought at home is also a large sheet that is not completely discarded. I cut it into small sheets, and there are not many. Thinking about what to eat, I made a few snacks with sweet potato starch and corn starch, so that Nie Dalang could eat when he was tired from practicing calligraphy.

Someone came from outside again, it was a family in the town who run the full moon wine, and asked Yun Duo to make fish.

Yun Duo quickly agreed, went to the old house to pick fifteen carps, killed them in advance, cleaned them up, and brought them to town the next day.

The price has been negotiated in advance, the same as before, it is [-] Wen per time, Yun Duo oils the fish, pours the braised sauce, and puts the braised fish out of the pan one by one, and brings them to the table outside. Know that it is a cloud and then be a fish.The people talked again, some people ate half of the banquet, they came to the kitchen, and told Yun Duo that her family would hold a banquet in a few days, it was just an engagement banquet, and they wanted to invite Yun Duo to cook fish.

Rural families are engaged, and when they make an appointment, they have a meal together. Unlike rich families, they seldom make arrangements.It was only because the family was asking for a marriage, and the woman was going to marry, so it was hard to agree to the marriage. The engagement required a lot of dowry gifts, and the man had to entertain guests.

Engagement hospitality is called posting. It means to invite the uncles and brothers of the woman’s family to have a meal, and the uncles and brothers of the man’s family to accompany the guests. Most of the guests are treated at two tables, four tables, or six tables. The people who come and the guests must be both. The number, the specification is also higher.

The man's family tried their best to make it more beautiful, and this fish is indispensable.So Mrs. Jiang hurriedly came to Yun Duo before finishing her meal, fearing that she would forget her wages and leave.

Yun Duo immediately responded, "The day after tomorrow? I'll come early."

Mrs. Jiang nodded hurriedly, "Okay! Then besides this braised fish, can you cook other fish?" Then she asked Yun Duo what other dishes she would cook.The chef couldn't afford it, so he set up four tables.

"Then let's make boiled fish again! It's booming, it's festive to look at! Eating boiled fish in cold weather will keep you warm after eating." Yun Duo laughed.

Mrs. Jiang thought it was true, so she agreed on the day after tomorrow.

Yun Duo settled the money and came out, and was about to buy two more red tracing books to go home, when Guo Dalang and Guo Erlang walked by with Guo Shugen.

"Nie Dalang!" She called out to Nie Dalang who was carrying something behind her.

Guo Dalang and the others also saw them and stopped.

Guo Shugen struggled to get up, and looked at the two gratefully, "If you didn't give me money to see a doctor, I'm afraid I would be gone."

"It's fine as long as it's okay." Yun Duo smiled.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Guo Shugen said, and then he thought about the money, and his face was filled with guilt, "The family doesn't talk about money now, and even sold a lot of grain. It’s gone. But you don’t have to worry, I’ll be fine after taking two more medicines, and when I’m well, I’ll take Dalang Erlang and the others to work, and I’ll pay you back when I earn money.”

Seeing that Nie Dalang didn't make a sound, Yun Duo said, "Don't worry about returning it. Just focus on your business first."

Guo Shugen's chaotic eyes were filled with mist.

"Let's go first." Nie Dalang called Yun Duo.

Guo Shugen hurriedly said, "Go back quickly!" Then he asked if he wanted to pull a cart to take them off.

Yun Duo hurriedly said no, and went to the brush and ink shop with Nie Dalang, and bought ink sticks, paper and tracing red books.

After spending all the money I earned today, I took a couple of dollars in.

Yun Duo looked at the thick tracing red book, and coughed twice, "Well, a woman's ignorance is virtue, I just need to know a few words, I'll practice all of them for you! I can count on you to support me in the future!"

Nie Dalang glanced at her, "Literacy alone is not enough. If you are required to write someday, you can't even write your own name well. Wouldn't it be shameful? You should practice again. It doesn't matter if you are left or right. When will you write?" As long as the words can be seen by people."

"Oh." Yun Duo replied weakly.Nie Dalang caught her, and he had to practice handwriting hard with her beside him to be able to balance.She can't directly say that she can read. Her big characters can be seen by people. Not only can she be seen by people, but she can also write and write flowers with sugar cream.Now I can only pretend to be a rookie and try my best to write ugly characters like chicken planks.

Seeing that she was aggrieved and had to accept her fate, the haze in Nie Dalang's eyes dissipated, he smiled, and reached out to stroke her head.

The two immersed themselves in the practice of Jisha ugly characters, and Yang Shi and Yun Tiehammer came again.Then asked about selling persimmon cakes, "It's been so boring for so long, and a layer of hoarfrost has grown, so it should be sold!"

Seeing how eager the two of them were, Yun Duo couldn't help it, so he said, "I'll go to the county next time, bring some dried persimmons, and explore the road first to ask the price."
