Chapter 37

The donkey cart is moving on the dirt road.The roads at this time are still dirt roads, and asphalt roads will not be popularized until 30 to [-] years later.

Most of the people on the road are carrying burdens or walking with bundles and baskets on their backs.

Occasionally there are tall trees on both sides of the road, and the wind blows through the leaves.Below the road is an endless field, and the young seedlings are shaking in the wind.

Those people in the small market next to the pharmacy brought their sick children to sell things to raise money for medical treatment, which had a great impact on He Xiaodong and his wife.Different from the apprehension when they came here, their own problems have been solved now, and they have the leisure to talk about what they saw.

From those people, the couple thought of He Laoshi's family who had been purged and left the house.

"The eldest girl of my honest brother's family is the second aunt who didn't pay for medical treatment, but gave seven eggs, and let her sell the eggs to delay her medical treatment."

What Mrs. Liu was thinking about was going out of the house as an honest family.Worryingly said: "Our family will not give anything if we are separated. Let us be kicked out naked."

Because of this heavy topic, the couple walked the rest of the journey in silence.

The people on the ferry looked at the worried faces of the two, and saw the medicines they had seized.It's just that this time Mrs. Liu was thrown hard. After seeing the doctor, the doctor's diagnosis was not optimistic.He didn't dare to joke with the two of them, and helped carry the car ashore.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, He Zhonghuai shrank his head and refused to speak.

He Xiaoxi was also taken aback when he saw the two in low spirits, thinking something was wrong.

Pulling my sister-in-law aside to ask, I couldn't help laughing.

The sister-in-law patted her: "I'm so worried, but you are still happy. To be honest, after the family split, I got a debt, and I haven't paid it off yet."

He Xiaoxi shook the medicine bag in his hand: "What do you think I asked you to do this for?" Whispering into the sister-in-law's ear, she whispered: "We just keep tossing and tossing like this, you can't pretend to lie down and stop working. I don’t believe they can hold back if you want to eat and drink, and when the time comes, we don’t need to ask for a separation, they will propose to separate us.”

After speaking, he sneered, and thought: They took the initiative to propose a separation, and even if they want them to leave the house, it doesn't make sense to tell Da Tianlai, even if she bites, she will bite off a piece of Liu's flesh.

The three of them have been working in this family all these years.Why should those lazy people enjoy the money they earned?

Soon after, the flood will come, and these adobe houses will be washed away.When the family was separated, she made some sacrifices and didn't want the house.She made such a big concession, Liu would definitely be happy to separate them as soon as possible.She also has to speed up and get this bonus before the heavy rain comes.

I made noodles with chicken soup for my eldest brother and sister-in-law to eat, and sent my eldest brother to return the donkey and cart.Open the medicine package, grab a handful of real medicine, mix it with grass stalks, and soak it in clean water.

He Xiaoxi asked his sister-in-law to go back to the house and lie on the bed, do some female celebrity work and take her little niece with her.She went outside to borrow medicine jars.

In fact, any casserole or clay pot can also be used for decoction.But He Xiaoxi didn't want to use it.The decoction itself was just a cover, and she didn't plan to give the decocted medicine to her sister-in-law.After all, the medicine is three-point poison.I just want to use the medicine jar to go out and publicize that my sister-in-law was thrown badly.

There is a custom in Shuidong Village that borrowed medicine jars cannot be returned, and only those who want to use them can get them.If the owner of the medicine pot wants to use it, the households have to keep asking who is in it.It is possible to turn to eight or ten companies to find it.

What a good publicity channel, He Xiaoxi must use it.

Go to the owner of the medicine jar first.Calling someone at the door, a half-grown child came out to ask about the reason, and told Xiao He Xiaoxi: Someone came to ask a while ago, so you can go to that house to ask.He Xiaoxi ran to the house the child had mentioned.

On the side of the road, someone sitting in the shade of a tree and holding the soles of his shoes asked He Xiaoxi where he was going.He Xiaoxi stopped to greet people, sighed and exaggerated the fact that his sister-in-law was pushed and fell.

Someone provided a clue, saying that they saw someone dumping medicine residue at an intersection a few days ago.

This involves another custom: the dregs left over from the decoction should be secretly poured out in the middle of the road at the intersection at night when there is no one around.Let the pedestrians who come and go step on it.It is said that this can take away the disease.

I asked several companies like this, and met several groups of people enjoying the cool air.He Xiaoxi went home with a borrowed medicine jar.I took a small air stove, lit it on the fire and put the soaked Chinese medicine into the medicine pot to boil in the courtyard.

Boil with a strong fire, boil with a slow fire, and do it meticulously.After decocting once, pour out the medicinal soup, add water and decoct again.Mix the two medicinal soups, boil them, divide them into two bowls, and bring them back to the East Wing.

In order to prevent Lulu's ignorance from being questioned, He Xiaoxi took her niece out and asked her sister-in-law to process the medicinal soup by herself.

In the mill road, Liu's mother and daughter are pushing the mill.Seeing He Xiaoxi look over, He Xiaonan turned his face away, making an expression of disdain for seeing He Xiaoxi.

He Xiaoxi stroked his forehead, remembering that his sister-in-law can't work, and the work assignment will be changed in the future.

He Xiaonan was pushing the mill, and Liu used a small broom to sweep the ground grain into the noodle basket, sieved the fine powder, and poured the coarse particles back into the stone mill for grinding.

Grinding noodles, cooking, and making clothes, shoes and socks are the main daily tasks of women.Grinding noodles should be done once every two or three days.There are three meals a day.

Making clothes, shoes and socks can be done by one person alone.One person needs to grind the flour while one collects the flour.Cooking requires one person on the stove and one person to light the fire under the stove.Neither of these tasks can be done by one person.

Of course, one person can do it, but it must be messy and inefficient.He Xiaonan also wanted to see the joke that He Xiaoxi had no one to help him and was in a hurry!Thinking of such a situation, He Xiaonan felt very happy.

But she was not happy for long.He Xiaoxi held Lulu and stood beside her, and what she said drove her crazy: "The doctor told my sister-in-law to stay in bed and rest, and I will have to work harder on you at home from now on."

"Why let us do it?"

He Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows: "You were the one who pushed the sister-in-law down, and you are the one who eats our He family's food." Mother Liu and her daughter choked.

After all, Mrs. Liu has eaten more than He Xiaonan for many years, and she is not as simple and irritable as her.Stop He Xiaonan who is about to get angry.

He said gently: "Where did Xiao Nan push your sister-in-law? She saw that your sister-in-law was about to fall, and tried to help her but failed. Everyone misunderstood her. The family should be wronged a little, just let it go Yes. Your sister-in-law needs to be taken care of carefully, she is the eldest grandson of our family, and everyone can do the work at home with a lot of help."

Xiaoxi sneered from the bottom of her heart: Want to clean up?Your Liu family's face is sweet and bitter, and I will use your face to get even more sweet, to see when you can't help but turn your face and reveal your hard-working and bitter side.

"It's better to divide who does what work, so as not to find someone when it's time to do the work?" He Xiaoxi is unwilling to return to the previous situation.It was said that everyone was working together, and when it was their turn to work, no one was there.It's better to make it clear.

According to He Xiaoxi's plan: Two people grind noodles and cook.Grinding noodles, one person at a time takes turns.Cooking, one day per person.The other person does not take turns, helping collect the noodles when grinding the noodles, and helping to light the fire when cooking.

Make them a priority.As expected, He Xiaonan chose the easy job of collecting noodles and lighting a fire.

He Xiaoxi didn't bother with her, and said to Liu Shi with a smile: "The doctor told my sister-in-law to take good care of her life, let her eat more good supplements, and give me two eggs."

Liu's smile could hardly be maintained: "The chicken hasn't been eaten yet, let's wait until the chicken is finished."

Let's talk after eating, who to tell?When I am a stick like Lu Ermei, can't I hear that this is an excuse?

 As of today, "Little Army Wife" has been updated for exactly one month.Just yesterday, the book ended its history without comment.It can be regarded as double happiness.Heiyu thank you for your company over the past month.

  Thank you little Kanai for collecting Heiyu, thank you for voting for recommendation, and thank you for the little beauty who commented.
