Fast and slow through the ever-changing life

Chapter 9 The Brilliant Life of a Peasant Girl (4)

Wouldn't it be a waste of effort if you follow along and fail.

Bai Xiaoya lowered her presence in a low-key manner and returned home safely.

After handing over the two coins to Uncle Liu, Bai Xiaoya ran home quickly.

There are only two other families where they live, and the rest are quite far apart.

The three households are all outsiders in this village, the three poorest households.

"Father, I'm back." After closing the yard, he walked into the house, opened the cover, and took out the sack to reveal the fat and lean meat inside.

"Did you buy meat? How much did you sell it for?" Father Bai felt sorry for his daughter and blamed himself.

"Two taels and 25 renminbi, this is two taels of silver, please keep it, Dad, this is the money for our family to start a business in the future. I have made up my mind, and in autumn, our family will build three houses in the open space over there again. The house, so that when winter comes, it will not be so difficult.” The money you earn has to be spent, otherwise, what do you do with the money.

"Father, I promised the shopkeeper that I will send all the medicinal materials left at home tomorrow, and they should be able to sell for a few taels of silver. Then I will go to the mountains to collect some more valuable medicinal materials. We will surely live a better life in the future." Yes." Bai Xiaoya looked forward to the future.

"Tomorrow, I'll go too." Father Bai carefully kept the two taels of silver in a safe place, which was what his daughter earned and must put it away.

"Wow, there is meat! Sister and father, can we eat meat tonight?" Four-year-old Bai Xiaoding was very happy. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time. They had eaten meat three times in total since his mother became stupid.

"Well, whenever I want to eat meat from now on, my sister and father will buy it for me." Bai Xiaoya lovingly touched her brother's head.

The whole family ate very well for dinner, Bai Xiaoding's mouth was glistening, and Bai Xiaoya put on a lot of oil from the fat.

In the evening, Bai Xiaoya and Bai Dad sorted the medicinal materials into sacks, and waited to sell them in the town tomorrow.

There are two sacks in total. Tomorrow I still have to make a bullock cart.

The father and daughter got up early in the morning, shut Ma Shi in the house, and told their youngest son to play in the house and not to go out. They will come back soon. As long as they come back at home, they can not only eat meat Can also eat sugar.

The four-year-old Bai Xiaoding naturally readily agreed, he didn't want to play with those poor kids in the village.

On the bullock cart, several villagers who had entered the town to work were very curious about the two hemp bags beside the father and daughter of the Bai family.

"Boss Bai, your leg is already healed? Why are you going to the town? What's in your bag?" People in the village are very inquisitive and always like to meddle in their own business. Every job is up for grabs.

"It's nothing, it's just my little girl who cares about the grass. It takes up a lot of space at home. It's a little money to exchange for a little money in the town. You can see my legs. Although I can move, I can't do heavy work. I'm just living on these ten or twenty renminbi, and I don't know what to do with the next two rice harvesters." Father Bai is an honest man, and he doesn't know how to lie.

These words were agreed between Bai Xiaoya and Bai Dad before.

If you want to live a good life, you can't be too honest, tell others everything, and hide what you have to hide.

Now Father Bai listens to his daughter very much, as long as their family can live well.

Bai Xiaoya was very anxious.

In Bai Xiaoya's past life memory, that family will come to her next summer.

If they don't live a prosperous life, they don't know how to reject that family. They are just strangers in this life. As long as they don't hurt her or disturb their own life, she, Bai Xiaoya, can ignore everything in her previous life .

The woman who came out to replace her must be educated.

This is Bai Xiaoya's wish. Since Yi Xichun has become Bai Xiaoya, she must complete the task well.

Before coming to the pharmacy again, the pharmacy just took down the door panel and opened the door for business.

As soon as the second brother saw the fair and fair Bai Xiaoya, he came up to her.

Father Bai put the two sacks on his back in the pharmacy. After the shopkeeper inspected the goods, he was very satisfied. The medicinal materials were handled perfectly. It can be seen that this family knows medicine. If the supply of goods is stable, it can be developed. In this way There is no shortage of sources for many medicinal materials in their pharmacies.

"Miss Bai, I want all these medicinal materials, and I will also ask Fu Yuantang for the medicinal materials prepared by you in the future." The shopkeeper showed his utmost sincerity.

"Thank you shopkeeper, as long as we only have medicinal materials, we will definitely deliver them in time." Father Bai hurriedly said.

"Okay, these medicinal materials are 13 taels and 130 Wen in total today, you take them." The shopkeeper handed the money to Father Bai.

Father Bai was dragged out of the house by his daughter, and he was still a little dazed. They have earned more than 13 taels of silver, isn't it just a dream?

It turns out that those weeds that grow in the fields in the mountains can still be so valuable after treatment.

"Father, let's buy some more meat and go home. It's better to buy some lard to cook oil, some rice, and some sugar for my little brother." Bai Xiaoya wants to improve her family's life. The chickens and ducks have to be re-sampled, and when the new house is built, two pigs will be bought to feed them.

Father Bai took the extra sack he brought and put two catties of pork and ten catties of lard into the sack, bought five catties of rice and some maltose, and put them all in the sack.

Back to the village in Uncle Liu's bullock cart.

Back to the village at meal time, did not attract people's attention.

In summer, Cicadas croaked differently in the trees, making people annoyed by the noise.

The naughty children in the village are climbing trees to catch cicadas, and Bai Xiaoya is drying medicinal herbs in the yard.

Ma Shi was sitting in the yard sewing clothes with a needle and thread.

It has been two months since Bai Xiaoya came to this world, she cured Ma Shi in two months, dissolved the blood congestion in Ma Shi's brain, and made her return to normal.

Ma was confused for two years, and when he woke up, the whole family hugged and cried happily. Their family finally got better.

The changes in the Bai family have been seen by everyone in the village.

Like the Bai family, they also began to treat weeds as treasures and took them to the pharmacy in the town to exchange money, but unfortunately most of them failed and were scolded bloody by the waiter and shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

I can only hate secretly, watching the Bai family make this money.

Who told them not to know how to distinguish between weeds and medicinal materials, even if they knew how to deal with medicinal materials, it would be useless.

In two months, Bai Xiaoya earned 50 taels of silver by collecting herbs and making medicines.

It is worth mentioning that five days ago, Bai Xiaoya, who entered the inner circle of the mountain, dug up a century-old ginseng.

This ginseng tree is in good condition, so it should be able to exchange for a lot of silver, plus the dug up crocodile, astragalus, codonopsis, angelica, and the big bag of Bupleurum just packed, this summer is a bumper harvest.

Bai Xiaoya is full of confidence that they will be able to live in a warm house in winter.

Bai Xiaoya had already thought about the appearance of the new house, so she built a courtyard and turned it into a small manor.
