Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

The winter in the border town is bitterly cold. Every year in October of the lunar calendar, the people almost stay at home and never go out.

In previous years, merchants who came from afar began to pack their bags and prepare to return to their hometown for the New Year, but this year was different. The gates of Lucheng were closed to isolate everything, and merchants who wanted to go home panicked.

For this reason, everyone gathered together and went to the yamen to file a complaint. The magistrate was devastated. He vaguely had a guess and complained in his heart, but he dared not tell the people.

Once the people's hearts are unstable and riots are caused in the border city, it is tantamount to creating opportunities for barbarians and people with ulterior motives.

"Wufu, do you feel air leakage when you sleep at night?"

Li Haitang sneezed, and the temperature dropped sharply in the past two days, especially at night, when there was a circle of ice edges under the eaves, she put a small charcoal basin by the bed, and there was a stove in the room, plus Mrs. Tang on the bed, three pipes All together, still caught the wind and cold.

Pregnant women are best not to use drugs indiscriminately. Her symptoms are not serious, but she always sneezes and tears, which is enough to make people uncomfortable.

"It's a bit cold at night."

Wufu nodded. She worked all year round, and in winter she followed the villagers to dig ice to catch fish to eat. She was in good health, but she didn't react too much.

At night, there was an evil wind that penetrated into her quilt, and the next day she felt a little pain in her arm joints.

"You are suffering from the wind, you need to apply two plasters."

However, plasters for treating rheumatism contain musk, which is not good for pregnant women.

Li Haitang put two small cupping jars on Wufu's wind-responsive arm. After about fifteen minutes, the color there became darker, and finally turned purple.

"In the past two days, yoga will stop for a while."

The master and servant checked the location of the air leak, and found a large gap not far from the bed.

The house is made of stone, very solid, but it needs to be repaired at least once a year. As soon as Chun Niang left, no one mentioned it, and Li Haitang automatically ignored it.

"The straw curtain outside the window, the grass is scattered, and it needs to be replaced."

Walking around the front and back of the house, there is generally no problem, but the small details have to be made up to make myself live more comfortably.

"Ma'am, there is a craftsman in our village who weaves straw mats tightly, and they only cost a dozen or so cents."

No one in the grocery store in the city sells this item. Wu Fu went to several stores and returned empty-handed, a waste of time.

It's cold, and there are almost no workers in the labor market, especially this kind of work that requires climbing up and down. If it is not for people who are really short of money, they will not accept it at all.

Li Haitang thought of Uncle Chen, who repaired the house in winter and accidentally fell from it and broke his leg.

There are only two women in the family, and I am afraid that someone I don't know well will have bad intentions. The world is chaotic these days, so I have to guard against it.

"Madam, why don't I go back to the village and ask, the men in the village are all capable and know everything."

Wu Fu bowed her head and thought for a while, she didn't know the city well, so she really didn't know where to find someone.

These trivial jobs can be done in one day, and they don't need to provide food for money.

In the windows, add a layer of cotton cloth curtains, and replace the door curtains with a thick layer, which is more windproof.

"Okay, it's early now, you go there, I think it might snow at night on this day."

It wasn't cold when it snowed, but after it snowed, the temperature dropped to freezing point. Li Haitang went out with a hand stove in his hand, the only thing exposed were his eyes.

She doesn't like to use straw mats and cotton door curtains, so that the room can't let in light, and it always gives people a depressing feeling.

"Ma'am, then I will call for someone today, and I can finish it in the next afternoon."

Wu Fu rubbed her hands and was about to go out. She had quick legs and could reach the village in an hour.

"You have just been cupped, don't be exposed to the wind, go to the carriage and horse dealer to rent a carriage, it will be more convenient."

While the snow outside is not deep, you can still enter the village. If you wait for ten days and a half months, the mountains will be covered by heavy snow, and the city and the countryside will be completely separated.

Wu Fu agreed and walked out quickly.

Li Haitang was about to close the door, when she saw a luxurious carriage parked at the door, she pretended not to see it, turned her head and walked back.

"Miraculous Doctor Li!"

The person who came was wearing a fur cloak, his cheeks were flushed from the cold, and when he saw Li Haitang, he immediately cried out with joy.

Recently, Miracle Doctor Li's whereabouts are secretive. I heard that she was in Lucheng, but some people said they saw her in the border town.

Ma Bihe asked people to inquire, and after going around, he finally found Li Haitang's residence.

"Come in first."

The other party recognized her, but Li Haitang couldn't help it. In her current state, she refused to undergo any surgery because her body couldn't bear it.

Ma Bihe was very convinced of Li Haitang's medical skills. At that time, his father, Master Ma, was already waiting to die, and Li's miraculous doctor came back to life. The family thought it was incredible.

She came to the door with all kinds of gifts, but she was actually asking for something.

"I'm pregnant now, so I try not to see a doctor."

Li Haitang rubbed her stomach, even if someone was waiting for help, she couldn't make fun of her own life and the lives of Doubao.

"So, congratulations to Miracle Doctor Li."

Ma Bihe waved her hand and asked the maid to go to the stove to keep warm, and she explained why she came.

It's still a bit hard to say.

As long as Dr. Li is willing to help with the consultation, it will be fine. After all, this strange disease can scare the whole family.

"Then tell me, I will try my best if I can help, but if you can't, don't force it."

After dealing with them, Li Haitang has a good impression of the Ma family. Unlike those merchants who are rich and unkind, Master Ma is kind and kind.

Some time ago, the food prices soared, and the Ma family insisted not to increase the price. They sold for a long time, but they couldn't stand the pressure, so they closed down.

"That's right. I have a cousin who also lives in the border town."

Ma Bihe took a sip of hot tea and talked about this cousin.

This cousin had just married Ji and got engaged at the beginning of the year. The other party was a soldier from Daying in the north of the city. The two met at Fuxiang Tea House and were interested in each other.

At first, the family strongly opposed it. After all, the soldiers will go to the battlefield, and they might be gone at any time.

"My cousin and that man have a private life-long agreement. If my uncle arranges a marriage, he will force him to die."

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and everyone in the family knows it. Later, her parents came to persuade her that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Now that you have chosen, don't regret it.

Otherwise, if you marry into someone else's family in the future, the husband and wife will be divorced, which will also harm the family.

Li Haitang admired Master Ma's open-mindedness. At this time, the common people agreed with their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. They were well-matched, and there were very few people who could respect the choices of the younger generation.

"Marriage is very difficult, but my uncle let go."

Ma Bihe thought, the cousin's fate is not good, and she was supposed to get married at the end of the year, but they caught up with the war between the two countries.

There is no eye for swords and guns on the battlefield. In case something bad happens, my cousin will be a watchdog.

The family is also for her own good, and wants to delay the marriage for a while. My cousin is still young, so waiting for two or three years is not too big.

No one cares about getting married at this juncture. Moreover, the city is in chaos, and the family does not plan to hold a wedding.
