The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 44 Procurement
Walking on the street, those who used to point fingers turned into compliments, and even Liu Ergou's daughter-in-law became more polite to her.After Caiwei passed by Liu Ergou's house, he saw Liu Ergou's wife washing vegetables.

"Ouch, Jiacheng daughter-in-law, have you eaten yet? I'm cooking. Would you like to come in for a bite or two?"

Li Caiwei politely refused, "No, I was at my aunt's place last year."

Liu Ergou's daughter-in-law instead smiled and said, "Okay, come and sit at home next time when you have time." Aunt Nian has been idle at home since she fell ill. Two days ago, she heard that someone was going to sell the land, so she hurriedly told Li Caiwei.

When I arrived at Aunt Nian's house, I saw Aunt Nian peeling edamame in the yard. Li Caiwei handed the two catties of meat I bought to Aunt Nian, "Aunt Nian, are you feeling better?"

Aunt Nian took the meat, quickly poured tea, took a stool, "Caiwei, it's good if you come."

Li Caiwei took a sip of tea and was anxious about buying land, "Aunt Nian, you said yesterday that someone wants to sell the land, I want to come over and have a look and discuss the price."

"There is one, but the price may be higher."

"Tell me about the specific situation, and I'll make an estimate."

"It's old man Li in the village. Old man Li is nearly 50 years old. He got a son when he was old. He had a son when he was nearly [-] years old. He finally raised him until he was three years old. Who knew he got smallpox. Once he contracted smallpox, I'm afraid..." Aunt Nian Sighing, he continued: "Old man Li is in a hurry to seek medical treatment everywhere, but the doctors are helpless, and the family's savings are almost spent. I heard that there is a doctor in the county who can treat this disease, but the medical fee is very expensive. Old man Li wants to sell something. Tian asks for some medicine expenses."

"It sounds pitiful, but smallpox is not a terminal illness, and there is still a way to cure it."

Aunt Nian was surprised: "Do you know how to cure this disease?"

"I know a little bit, but I'm not sure it can be completely cured."

"Oh, I really met a Bodhisattva. This old man Li is also very pitiful. His wife died of dystocia when she gave birth to her son. She raised her son alone. If she died, she would kill Old Man Li. Caiwei Girl, if you have a way, you have to help this old man Li."

"Okay, let me try."

As soon as the words were finished, Aunt Nian took Li Caiwei to the old man Li's house at the head of the village.

Old man Li lives in an adobe-brick house, and it seems that his family is not the poorest one.

Aunt Nian knocked on the door, and a skinny old man came out with a strong smell of medicine.

"Old man Li, I brought you a person. She is a married daughter-in-law who said she can see a doctor for your son."

Old man Li's dull face trembled, and it took him a long time to react, "Oh, please come in, please come in."

After entering the door, the smell of medicine became stronger, and the light came in from the window and fell on the bed.

It was a thin, pale boy.

"I'm going to be a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid this child is... If you have a way, I'd be willing to pay any money." Old man Li walked tremblingly to the window and covered his son with a quilt.

Li Caiwei approached, carefully observed the symptoms, her face was flushed, and her body was covered with herpes, which should be caused by a persistent high fever.

Modern smallpox is not a terminal disease, but in ancient times, smallpox was a terminal disease, but there is no vaccine or vaccination here, and if you want to be cured, you have to think of other ways.Although she majored in finance, she usually studies medicine and has a certain understanding of smallpox.Now there is only one way to treat it, and that is cowpox!

Standing in front of you are two men who work in cattle farms all year round!

After examining them carefully, one of them met his requirements, "Aunt Nian, this one is fine."

Carefully injecting the blood into the little boy's body, Li Caiwei stood up, "The fever will subside tomorrow."

Aunt Nian watched from the side, she couldn't understand from the beginning to the end, can this little blood save lives?
Li Caiwei wiped her hands, smallpox is very contagious, and she needs to inject a little.

After finishing the work, old man Li said gratefully: "Jia Cheng's wife, how can I thank you, if I knew that you can cure this disease, I wouldn't have spent so much money."

Li Caiwei put away the silver needle tube, which was borrowed from the doctor in Guan Town, and the vaccinia virus was used to cure smallpox.But she is not sure, and there is no better way at the moment, so she has to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Uncle Li, it's okay, you have to pay attention these two days, if there is any accident, please let me know immediately."

On the second day, old man Li excitedly ran home and said that his son's fever had subsided, and the herpes on his body had also subsided a lot.

Li Caiwei said happily: "That's good."

"The family has become a daughter-in-law. Aunt Nian said that your family wants to buy land. I have prepared a land deed for two acres of land. You saved my son. This land deed is a piece of my heart, and you have to accept it!"

Li Caiwei quickly refused and put the title deed back, but old man Li strongly refused, "I am an old man who has lived to this age, and I don't expect anything but my son. There are still five or six acres in this field, which is enough for me for the rest of my life." "Old man Li sighed, "When the dog gets sick, I have no hope of living. It is useless for me to save a few acres of land after hard work, or you saved my son..." The old man was long-winded For a long time, Li Caiwei couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and finally had to give the old man 20 taels of silver.But old man Li was determined not to accept it, and finally accepted five taels at Li Caiwei's insistence.Holding the land deed for two acres of land, although it is a bit unbelievable, it is estimated to cost 50 taels of silver if you really want to buy it.Looking at my own seal on the land deed, the painting is very secure, and I feel more at ease.

"Jiacheng, we will have land in the future." Li Caiwei held the land deed tightly in her arms, which was equivalent to buying a suite.Liu Jiacheng also became happy.

After having land, people live differently.Good days are coming.

Now it's early August, rice can't be planted, but vegetables can be planted!Early August is the best time to grow carrots, white radishes, and cabbage. You can also grow garlic, celery, and spinach... and buy a dozen teal ducks, which can be slaughtered and eaten during the Chinese New Year.

The bed at home is a bit small, so I had to ask a carpenter to build a better bed, make a cabinet for clothes, and weave some bamboo stools out of bamboo.

The transition from the proletariat to the poor peasants has already reached a big stage.Thinking of the fresh vegetables that will grow in the vegetable field in a few months, I don't want to mention how happy I am.Tomorrow, I'd better go to the town to buy some vegetable seeds.

On the morning of August, the sun rises from the peak mountain at the east end of the village and sets on the treetops of every household.The men get up and go to work in the fields, weeding and watering the second crop rice, while the women wash clothes, cook and feed poultry at home. If the family's economic conditions are better, they can breed sericulture.I finally have some money on hand, thinking that I should buy some chickens and ducks at home.

When I arrived in the town, I saw many people selling chickens and ducks. "Boss, how much is this kind of duckling?" Li Caiwei walked up to an old lady, and saw a dozen yellow, fluffy little teal ducks in the old lady's back basket.
