The medicine of rebirth

Chapter 264
Yang Jing leaned on the counter with his cheeks in his hands and looked at Jin Zhou and Su Wen who were going away in the wind, and turned his head to Ye Wang who was still lowering his head and sorting out the account books of the medicine workshop He knocked on the solid wood counter with his head sideways, making a sound, which made the brush in Ye Wang's hand go down smoothly again.

Yang Jing "..."

Immediately dissatisfied, Uncle Nu couldn't stay in the medicinal food workshop all day long because of his old age, and Sun Huai spent most of his time dozing in the corner with his eyes closed, and Jun Zijue was a quiet person. He was happy among the patients all day, so why would he pay attention to him, a normal person who is as lonely as snow? Ye Sang didn't come here because Su Banxi and Ning Chen were not in the town, and spent the whole day reading. Writing, Yang Jing's teeth ache from seeing that kind of study.

Now only Ye Wang is still idle, how can he ignore him!

"Cough cough." Yang Jing widened his eyes and coughed several times. Ye Wang raised his eyes to look at him in a daze. Before Yang Jing could feel the joy in his heart, Ye Wang turned around with all the books in his arms. Moved to the other side, and kept saying: "If you are sick, go to Zijue to have a look, don't cough and cough to disturb my thoughts, it's finally the last, I can't stop and start all over again Count again."

Yang Jing didn't even feel furious now, and he lay weakly on the counter and said, "I said you're holding on to a ledger all day long, and it doesn't seem boring to calculate. When do you think Ban Xi and Ning Chen will get married?" Seeing Jin Zhou leaving in such a hurry, it should be that Banxi's family has a happy event and wants to discuss it with Jin Zhou."

Ye Wang kept his eyes on the numbers on the account book, and responded casually: "Oh!" But he thought in his heart that this marriage would not be completed until the next spring at least. After autumn, it would be winter with heavy snowfall. Su Banxi is worried about medicinal materials, vegetables, meat, melons and fruits alone, not to mention the complicated marriage. Even if Jin Zhou is asked to discuss it now, it still needs to be prepared slowly. Ning Chen has no house to live in Tunjiawan. It's a big deal.

Also, Su Banxi is still planning the construction and expansion of hospitals and pharmacies recently. Naturally, she doesn't have that much thought on getting married, so there are still a few months before the Chinese New Year, and they still have time to go. He was preparing the wedding gift for the two, so Ye Wang didn't show any anxiety on his face.

Yang Jing was completely speechless, but he still didn't give up and said: "I said you can't talk too much, or have a superfluous expression. When a guest comes in and sees that Mr. Accountant is a black-faced god, he will directly scare people away. Yes." Yang Jing racked his brains to describe such an image of Ye Wang.

Just looking at Ye Wang's calm back, Yang Jing completely shut his mouth, should he be thankful that Ye Sang's little devil has nothing like Ye Wang's temper.

Ye Wang didn't react much, turned around and glanced at Yang Jing, his eyes slightly raised: "Why didn't I realize that you talk so much before, don't forget that Xizi entrusted you to manage the entire medicinal food workshop Now, I'll see what you do when Xizi and Jin Zhou completely withdraw their hands, why not learn more about it now, so that you won't lose face when you get busy."

Yang Jing pursed his lips, but he still shrank his neck as if remembering those hellish days, nodded his head and took the book thrown by Ye Wang, and threw it away after opening a few pages, because A visitor, and an acquaintance whom I haven't seen for a long time:
"Long time no see, Young Master Chen."

When Jin Zhou and Su Wen arrived at Tunjiawan, the sky quickly darkened and brought a depressing gloom, "It's going to rain heavily, Uncle Jin, run back quickly, so as not to get caught in the heavy rain." It won't be good if you get wind and cold." Su Wen said while looking at Jin Zhou beside him while running.

Jin Zhou nodded, pulled up his gown a little bit, and started to run with big strides, but no matter how fast he was, it couldn't be faster than the speed of God Xiaoyu. When Mrs. Zhao saw the two soaked chickens, he was surprised, and then hurriedly asked Su Shi to go The kitchen boiled water for the two to take a bath, and I went to the room to find dry clothes for the two to change. I couldn't help but say a few words: "When it's going to rain, I won't just ask someone to borrow an oil-paper umbrella to hide and come back. Well!"

Su Wen and Jin Zhou looked at each other, neither of them dared to speak, and took their clothes to take a bath in desperation.

Now not only Su Banxi's room has a bathtub, but Su Wen, Ning Chen, and Mrs. Zhao each have their own bathtub. Jin Zhou went to Ning Chen's room to wash off the cold, and when he came out, Mrs. Zhao was still there. The two men were served ginger tea with a pungent smell.

Holding it in his hands to warm them up, Jin Zhou felt relieved.

It was raining heavily outside.Hitting on the gray tiles sounded like a solo piece, but Mrs. Zhao and the others soon realized that something was wrong, because the rain gradually became heavier and splashed on the ground covered with blue bricks. Sitting outside, Ning Chen could see clearly that it was hailstones.

Mrs. Zhao was also surprised. Looking at the hail that kept falling on the ground, she remembered the herbs planted in the depression on the mountain and couldn't help but look at Su Banxi. Unexpectedly, Su Banxi frowned slightly. She didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she heard her murmur. Said: "It seems that not only our family's herbal medicines have failed this year, I am afraid that Tunjiawan and the surrounding villages have suffered from this hailstorm."

Su Banxi's words seemed to have opened up something that everyone hadn't thought of, her expression changed immediately, she was a little terrified, but more of them were helpless, the fellows who eat like farmers depend on God's mood, this is good.

After autumn comes the bitter cold winter, everyone is counting on the food in the field to live, such a non-stop hailstorm, the crops in the field do not know how many will die, and it is the harvest season but this disaster, I am afraid this winter I don't know how many people will starve to death.

The enthusiasm that originally wanted to discuss marriage was shattered by this sudden hailstorm and turned into sorrow.

Not only the crops in the field were suppressed, the dilapidated houses in Tunjiawan would soon be unable to support under the hailstorm, but at this time, no one dared to run around in such weather and hit their heads That's a big hole.

Su Banxi recalled that Mrs. Zhang was at home alone with her girl, and when Zhang Ruishu went to the town a few days ago, her house seemed to have a hole that was not repaired in time. up?And there is Brother Shanming, Sister-in-Law Li and his family, Brother Qiuming and Xiaoba, the Liu Brothers, etc. all of them don't know what's going on.

Seeing the worry hidden in Su Banxi's eyes, Ning Chen went up and patted her on the shoulder, then squatted down and looked into her eyes and said, "Why don't I go to Aunt Zhang's house to see how she and the girl are doing, Brother Rui Shu Years away, the house will not last long without repairs, and the girl has only been able to endure the cold for more than four months, as for Brother Shanming and Brother Qiuming, they will definitely be fine."

Su Banxi looked at Ning Chen and neither nodded nor shook her head, but just slightly grabbed Ning Chen's hand on her knee. Even in this world, no one would dare to go out with an umbrella in this weather. The strength cannot be ignored, it definitely hurts when it hits the body, and judging by this posture, I am afraid that it will be stronger in the future, but I can't rest assured that Mrs. Zhang is at home with the girl, not to mention that Brother Ruishu was invited by her to go to the town of.

Su Banxi should have gone to see how Zhang and the girl are doing out of reason, but she was worried that Ning Chen would go alone, so she twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "I'll go with you, before the hailstones get big Wake up, I let my mother thicken the oil-paper umbrellas at home, it should be fine if this bit of hailstone hits them, let's go without delay!"

Before Ning Chen and the others could refuse, Su Banxi had already found three or four oil-paper umbrellas and distributed them to Su Wen, while Ning Chen and Jin Zhou took one for himself: "I'll go to Aunt Zhang's house and send Aunt Zhang and Bring the girl here, and you go to the homes of Brother Shanming, Brother Qiuming, Brother Liu Qing and the others to have a look. Ginger goes in."

Without waiting for Su Shi to say that he was going, Su Banxi had already opened the oiled paper umbrella and rushed into the hailstone, which made Zhao Shi, Ning Chen and the others feel aroused, and the three of them also opened the oiled paper umbrella and rushed in without wasting time. Into the hailstones, Zhao's heart was beating thumpingly, her fingers were trembling slightly, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses: "Why does this child, Xiaoxi, always do such dangerous things? I'll go pick up Huier and Isn't the girl the same, Da Lang waits for Xiao Xi to come back and you have to teach her a lesson, if this goes on, I don't have enough lives to worry about."

Mrs. Zhao obviously turned her anger on the innocent Su Shi. Su Shi touched his nose and apologized with a smile and said that when Su Banxi came back, he would definitely teach her a good lesson. Then Mrs. Zhao stood on tiptoe and looked under the eaves. Nothing could be seen from the dense hailstones falling from the sky and the hazy sky.

"Okay, didn't Xiaoxi ask you to thicken the oil-paper umbrella? It's a bit heavy to hold, but it's enough to block the hailstones. You don't have to worry too much. Didn't Xiaoxi ask you to go to the kitchen to make ginger tea? , go quickly, lest when they come back and have nothing to drink, it’s not your worry that they catch a cold and get sick.”

Su Shi patted Zhao Shi's shoulder and said comfortingly, Zhao Shi gave him a sideways glance and entered the kitchen, Su Shi shrugged and turned his head to look at the hazy and foggy sky, and frowned fiercely.

The hailstones were tinkling on the umbrella, almost shaking Su Banxi's jaw a little, but seeing that he was about to arrive at Zhang Ruishu's house, he gritted his teeth and walked over quickly, knocking on the door, and the sound of children crying and hailstones came from inside the house. The mixed voices made Su Banxi even more worried, and soon the door was opened by Mrs. Zhang, and Su Banxi immediately lifted the oil-paper umbrella in her hand to her head to cover her from the falling hail.

"Xizi, why are you here? It's still raining outside. Don't be afraid that your brain will be smashed!" Zhang's expression was very disapproving of Su Banxi's running out in this weather. What if he was injured by hailstones, so Therefore, there is a little bit of blame.

Su Banxi didn't take it seriously, but followed the girl's crying, and found that the girl's face was flushed from crying, and she put the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, walked over quickly, and hugged the crying girl in her arms, girl Only then did she forcefully stop crying, and looked at Su Banxi with bright eyes open sobbing, which made Su Banxi feel very distressed.

Seeing that the girl didn't cry anymore, Mrs. Zhang frowned and said in relief, "I don't know what's going on. From the beginning of the rain to the hailstorm, the girl has been crying. I'm still worried that she will cry." My voice is hoarse from crying! Fortunately, Xizi, you are here."

The Zhang family's house is not too serious, but it is obvious that several big holes have been smashed out of the roof, cold air, rain and hailstones are constantly falling from the roof, even if the doors and windows are closed, the cold air is still unstoppable, no wonder girl Will cry like this, "Auntie, before the hailstorm is too heavy, you can take the girl to my house to hide for a while, it's not a way to go on like this, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the girl's body .”

Mrs. Zhang immediately compromised as soon as the child was involved. She simply packed the girl's diaper and wrapped it up before hugging the girl. Su Banxi opened the oil-paper umbrella and took the girl's diaper and went out. She then helped Mrs. Zhang lock the door. Walking towards Su's house, hailstones suddenly fell heavily on the way, but they couldn't cover up the curses coming from all the houses. Mrs. Zhang hugged the girl in her arms tightly to prevent the cold from invading, and was afraid that the hailstones would hit her own child. when.

When she got home, Su Banxi's mouth holding the umbrella was numb, and was covered by Mrs. Zhao with a handkerchief soaked in hot water. The faint pain made Su Banxi's mouth twitch and she didn't say anything. Now Zhao There is a fire in Shi's heart, but he can't say something wrong at this time and ignite this active volcano when he is being scolded.

It didn't take long for the girl to start fussing again, and she couldn't stop crying until she was in Su Banxi's arms before she sobbed and didn't cry at the top of her voice, which made Mrs. Zhang feel a little tired and beat her sore arm, "Hey, I see The girl, this child is attached to you, Xizi, and she doesn't even want me as a mother."

Mrs. Zhao also put down her handkerchief and went to the kitchen to bring out hot ginger tea with a spicy smell and handed it to Mrs. Zhang, "Drink some ginger tea first to get rid of the cold on your body. Hey, I don't know how long this hailstorm will last." , God, this is the way out for the peasants, how can the big guys survive without food!"

When talking about this Mrs. Zhang, she couldn’t help but sigh. Originally, the crops in her land were growing well this year, but now it seems that they have all been destroyed. Fortunately, her family doesn’t rely on the crops in the land to make a living. Otherwise, you will definitely have your eyebrows burning with worry, "I don't know what's going on with my mother, don't be as big as the hailstones in Tuenjiawan, then this year's grain and vegetables will also increase accordingly, and by then everyone's Not having a good time."

Even if Su Banxi runs a medicated food shop in the town, after this hailstorm, the medicated food shop would probably bleed a lot, because it needs to buy a lot of food, vegetables, meat, melons and fruits, and the money spent must be several times that of the past.

But Su Banxi is not worried about this problem, because since half a year ago, the medicinal food workshop has already had a stable source of supply, and it was jointly established by the Chen family and the Jiang family. The food, flour, vegetables, meat, melons and fruits are all wholesaled at market prices. As well as the restaurants in the town, the restaurants of the Chen family and the Jiang family did not continue to open, but were diverted into cloth and garment stores or grocery stores. Compared with restaurants, the business is not very good, but the passenger flow is competitive But the medicine shop is strong.

Besides, Chen Hai and Jiang Qing, the two parties concerned, were broad-minded and didn't say anything about the Medicinal Food Workshop, and there was no such thing as a run on them. On the contrary, sometimes these two people came forward to take care of the difficult things that the Medicinal Food Workshop encountered. Su Banxi is grateful for this, so whenever Chen Jiajiang's family asks her for anything, she will come to the door in person.

After half a cup of tea, Jin Zhou, Su Wen and Ning Chen also came back one after another. When they came back, everyone had to ask if Su Banxi was hit by hailstones, and Su Banxi shook her head so dizzy However, nothing too serious happened to these three houses, and the damage to the houses was not too serious, so it was not easy to disturb Su Banxi's family. Seeing this, Su Banxi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened.

After drinking the ginger tea, everyone gathered in the main room and had nothing to do. Jin Zhou simply took advantage of this time to talk about the marriage between Su Banxi and Ning Chen. Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Banxi with a smile on her face, but didn't want to Su Banxi's mind was not on this, but looked indifferently at the misty sky outside, but gently patted the girl's back to help her fall asleep, until Mrs. Zhao called her several times before she managed to recover and look at the girl. Everyone, "What's wrong?"

"Xiaoxi, what's the matter with you, your face has always been weird these two days, is it because the wind and cold haven't recovered yet? Do you want to drink another medicine?" Zhao suddenly became nervous when she thought of this possibility.

Su Banxi didn't smile, and her expression was always indifferent. The tenderness and delicacy between her brows seemed to be taken away by hailstones, which made everyone's heart skip a beat, and they all looked at her nervously, among which Ning Chen was the most nervous. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about what to do after the hailstorm is over? There are no crops in the field, and it's obviously too late to plant seeds at this time, and there are only two or three months left before winter arrives Now, when the time comes, how will the people in the village survive, if one is not handled properly, many people will die, and if it is serious, it will easily cause various diseases to break out at the same time."

So everyone looked at Su Banxi with weird eyes, which made Su Banxi feel a little cold on his back, but soon everyone's topic changed following Su Banxi's words, and Ning Chen smiled slightly and covered his eyes with drooping eyelashes A faint sense of loss.

Ancient times are different from modern times. A little cold and cold is enough to kill a person. Most of the poor people live in poverty. Although the order to reduce taxes was issued not long ago, the hailstorm still affected people more or less. The income of the family, the next thing may not be so easy to deal with.

Autumn is the harvest season, which also means paying rent and taxes. Once the payment is completed, it is estimated that there will not be much spare money left to survive the long and severe winter.
