Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children

This time is really difficult to arrange, but fortunately I still have free time, enough time to pick up and drop off the four children from school.

Time flies, and it is time to put up the beams of Zhou Rongrong's house. Putting up the beams of the new house is a great joyous event.

Putting up a beam is like putting on a crown for a person, so the time must be calculated carefully so that it cannot conflict with the time of family members. The old people in the mountain village gathered together and chose noon.

Noon is when the sun is at its highest point and the yang energy is at its strongest. After choosing a day, Zhou Rongrong and the village elders began to offer sacrifices to the gods. Originally, the priest was supposed to be the elder of Zhou Rongrong's family, but according to the current seniority system of the Jiang family, Zhou Rongrong is indeed the oldest person in the Jiang family.

A wooden red lacquer offering plate is placed on the altar, along with 24 bowls of other dishes and 12 basins of southern and northern fruits. Couplets such as "The beam is raised on a lucky day, and the pillar is erected on a lucky day" are posted. The couplets are made of yellow paper, and red silk is hung at both ends of the beam, with a copper coin hanging from the red silk, which means "peace and harmony".

After the sacrifice, the village chief will hold a ceremony to chant "Shangliangwen" to pray for a solid foundation and for the safety and longevity of the house.

The carpenter was offering chicken blood to the beam to suppress evil spirits. Master Sun then climbed up onto the beam, carefully lit the firecrackers in his hand and threw them out.

The crackling sound was very lively. Zhou Rongrong was showing off the copper coins, dried fruits, melon seeds and other things she had prepared to the people who came to watch the fun.

Everyone rushed forward and began to pick up the blessings spread by the host.

The whole process was very lively. Almost all the people in the mountain village came. They all said auspicious words, congratulated Zhou Rongrong on building a new house, and praised her ability.

Many people even secretly asked Zhou Rongrong whether she wanted to marry again, which made Zhou Rongrong laugh and cry, and she politely declined.

The next step was to prepare a banquet for the people on the construction site. Zhou Rongrong didn't need to take care of this part, as it was all handled by Grandma Wang.

Zhou Rongrong just needs to wait patiently for dinner, and then go to pick up Sanbao for school after dinner.

After the beams were put up, the progress of the house construction was accelerated a lot. It is estimated that it will be completed in more than ten days. Master Sun and his wife were very excited.

They have already felt the specialness of Zhou Rongrong's house and are just waiting for the day when it is completed for inspection.

After lunch, Zhou Rongrong went to Qingfeng College to pick up Sanbao. After saying hello to her own baby, she went to the backyard to meet Mr. Zhuang.

Today is a big day in their family, and Zhou Rongrong also wants to give Mr. Zhuang a gift. Mr. Zhuang's clothes are all made by Mr. Zhang. Since he can't give clothes, Zhou Rongrong gives a basket of eggs, a big rooster, and five pounds of pork.

This was already a very valuable gift, and Mr. Zhuang took it with a smile. He gave Zhou Rongrong feedback on the children's learning situation. In a word, it was very good. Mr. Zhuang said that Dabao would try to take the examination for Tongsheng after studying for half a year.

Zhou Rongrong naturally had no objection, so just take the test.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Zhuang, Zhou Rongrong took Sanbao to take him to Doctor Zhao's class. She gave Sanbao the same gift and asked him to take it with him, as she had other things to do.

Zhou Rongrong's job is to make alcohol. Zhou Rongrong has drunk some sorghum liquor of that era, which was about 25 degrees, still a little far from the level for medical disinfection.

Considering that Sanbao will learn suturing in the future, disinfection is essential. Although the catgut has been made by Dr. Zhao, the current disinfection level is still not good enough. Zhou Rongrong plans to try it herself.

I went to Yunweizhai and bought three jars of the strongest liquor, then rode the shaky donkey cart back home.

They began to try to distill liquor. In China, distillation tools have been around for nearly a thousand years. Zhou Rongrong has also seen a distillation method called "Tian Guo" in the museum.

The stove is burning, and an iron pot is placed on it. A rice steamer is placed upside down on the pot. A bamboo tube is extended from the rice steamer, and distilled liquor can flow out drop by drop.

Zhou Rongrong took Jiang Manman to start making distilled liquor. Only one third of distilled liquor could be obtained from a jar. Zhou Rongrong could smell the pungent smell of alcohol just by smelling it.

Jiang Manman asked in confusion.

"Aunt, what's the point of making this?"

Zhou Rongrong said: "This is for wound disinfection. You see, many people will get inflammation, swelling and pus even if they get a minor injury. This is because the wound was not disinfected well. Disinfection with alcohol can kill most of the germs. Although it is painful to use this disinfectant, it is better than losing your life due to inflammation."

Jiang Manman knew a lot about this. She knew quite a bit about wound inflammation, but what were the germs?

"What is that germ, aunt?"

Zhou Rongrong said, "We can't see germs with our naked eyes. You can think of them as invisible bugs biting you in your wound. Do you think it can heal?"

Jiang Manman said: "Of course not."

Zhou Rongrong asked Jiang Manman to follow her example and distill the remaining wine, and then she went to the fields to take a look.

field.

Many people were still working in the fields. When they saw Zhou Rongrong, they greeted her. Zhou Rongrong talked to them with a smile. Some people asked her what she was planting in the fields and why they had never seen it before.

Zhou Rongrong didn't answer directly, but just said that you will know once you grow the seeds.

The rice has grown a lot. The two Zhang brothers are not very satisfied with Zhou Rongrong's rice fields. The main reason is that they found that the rice in Zhou Rongrong's rice fields is different from theirs.

The more they looked, the more they discovered that the rice in Zhou Rongrong's home did not attract insects, and grew larger and faster. After noticing the difference, the two of them would take time every day to come and take a look.

In the two acres of field, the peppers began to bloom, and there were quite a few of them. Zhou Rongrong followed the instructions in the book and began to break off the extra branches of the peppers, one by one. At first, she had to think while breaking them off, but once she got the hang of it, she just broke them without any hesitation. Some of the peppers were almost bald due to Zhou Rongrong's breaking.

Zhou Rongrong didn't care and just kept breaking them. The book said that only in this way can the peppers be connected well. Hehe, spicy and sour potato shreds, grow up quickly.

As for the potatoes, Zhou Rongrong didn't dare to dig them up to see if there were any bugs on the leaves. Zhou Rongrong also transplanted a few dogwood plants in the field.

The book says that plants with smell can significantly inhibit insects. The effect seems to be pretty good. In short, there are not many insects.

Zhou Rongrong also picked a few vegetables and took them home to eat. What a wonderful life she had.

The villagers are simple and lovely, their families are gradually getting better, the children are obedient and happy, and the employees work and study hard.

After inspecting the fields, Zhou Rongrong went to see Jiang Manman making distilled liquor. She felt relieved when she found out there were no problems.

Before going to the town to pick up Sanbao, I bought a rabbit first. The progress of medicine always requires some experimental animals. Zhou Rongrong doesn’t know how to raise a mouse, so I can only try with a rabbit.

After buying the rabbit, Zhou Rongrong took Sanbao in. Sanbao had already eaten at the Zhao family. Mrs. Zhao really liked Sanbao and treated him like half a son. She gave Sanbao a lot of food and clothes.

Sanbao looked at the rabbit on the donkey cart covering its full stomach and said.

"Mom, can we eat rabbit tomorrow?"

Zhou Rongrong laughed: "This rabbit is not for you to eat. I asked you to ask your master for catgut. Did you get it?"

"About to arrive."

"Well, today I will use a rabbit to teach you how to sew."

In addition to theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge was indispensable in surgery at that time. Sanbao learned theoretical knowledge very quickly. He seemed to understand it after just reading it once. After Zhou Rongrong explained it once more, Sanbao had mastered it. Even Dabao said that Sandi was a natural doctor and his talent was simply against the sky.

Sanbao's eyes lit up and he cheered loudly, surrounding Zhou Rongrong and asking questions, but Zhou Rongrong still had to give the child vaccinations.

"Don't throw up when the time comes. Our actual operations are not the same as theoretical knowledge."

Sanbao was not afraid. He was very excited. He had heard that his mother was the best suturing expert in the world. He even heard that she had even opened someone's chest.

It would be so amazing if he could do that in the future. So when Zhou Rongrong went to Qingfeng College to pick up the children, Sanbao happily shared with them that he was going to suture the rabbit tonight.

Sibao looked at the rabbit and then at Sanbao who looked very excited, and swallowed the words out of his mouth.

After getting ready, Zhou Rongrong took out a set of surgical tools from the space. The surgical tools were made of special materials that were not available in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Rongrong was afraid that Sanbao would ask questions, but Sanbao seemed to be used to it.

The main thing is the book he is reading now. Even his master’s house, which has a large collection of books, does not have it. Sanbao also knows that this is their family heirloom, his mother’s family heirloom, so naturally there are good things in it.

Zhou Rongrong first fed the rabbit Ma Fei San before she cut open the rabbit's abdomen with gloves, and the internal organs were revealed. Zhou Rongrong observed Sanbao's expression and found that there was nothing unusual about him.

Only then did I feel confident and bold enough to continue talking to Sanbao about the rabbit's internal organs, and also explained the differences between them and human internal organs. To Sanbao, this was more intuitive and a bit disgusting than the anatomical diagrams he saw in books.

Especially the smell, it's really bad. It's different from the smell of blood. It's a mixture of various smells, fishy smell, itchy smell, it's almost nauseating.

But Sanbao still listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time. Then Zhou Rongrong began to guide the layering of muscles. The rabbit's abdomen should not be exposed for too long.

After Zhou Rongrong let Sanbao sew a few stitches, she was able to do it herself, with quick and steady hands.

A sutured wound on the rabbit's abdomen appeared. Zhou Rongrong sewed it beautifully and tied the surgical knot, which looked handmade.

Zhou Rongrong also taught Sanbao how to tie a surgical knot and asked him to teach it to Dr. Zhao tomorrow.

The next day, when Zhou Rongrong sent Sanbao to school, she also sent the rabbit with her, and asked the master and apprentice to look after the rabbit to prevent the rabbit's wound from getting infected.

"Doctor Zhao, this is the alcohol I purified. It's very good for disinfecting wounds, but it hurts. You can use this for disinfection. Oh, and here's Panax notoginseng. Panax notoginseng has a miraculous effect on reducing inflammation. It can be taken externally or internally. I don't know much about Chinese medicine, so please do some research on it."
