The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 17 Apprenticeship
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't eat anymore. She was worried that the third son's family would come to borrow money from her for medical treatment.
On second thought, the family has been divided, and now they are two different families. Even if I want to lend money, I won't give it to him. It was he who took the initiative to propose the division of the family, so there is no reason for me to help him anymore.
I never thought that I had personally supported the little girl who had no right to share the family property many times.
Ni'er had memorized the numbers from one to ten by heart. She smoothed out the dirt under her feet where the words had been written, and seeing that it was still early, she went to find Doctor Zhao.
Unexpectedly, he was not there this time, so Ni'er could only return home carrying the basket with some of the herbs that Doctor Zhao had taught her.
The third brother mentioned his idea to the others during the meal, "I thought we should build a mud house. This house might be blown away by the wind one day, and it can't keep out the rain. I will make a few mud bricks every day after I come back from working in the fields. In a few months, we will be able to live in a new house."
Ni'er thought that the work in the fields was already heavy and it all depended on her father alone. If he came back to make adobe bricks, he might be exhausted. Yan Zi was also worried.
Only Niu Li looked at his father with bright eyes, "Can I have a room of my own?"
The third brother smiled, "Of course, you and your sister can have your own rooms."
"Really?" Niu Li couldn't believe what he heard.
"When has dad ever lied to you?" Niu Laosan looked at Niu Li seriously.
Nier expressed her concerns, "Dad, aren't you too tired? Your legs are just fine, so you should rest more. The weather is getting warmer, so you can postpone the house matter a little bit."
Yan Zi continued, "Yes, what Ni'er said makes sense. Your body is just fine, so you should rest for a while."
Niu Li reacted immediately, "I'm sorry, Dad. I was just happy about myself. What my sister said makes sense. We can wait a little longer."
But the third brother made up his mind, "We lived in a leaky house before. When we separated, I thought that I would never let you live in a house like that again. I will only do a little bit every day and won't tire myself out. Don't worry, I know my limits."
Once Dad makes up his mind, even eighteen oxen can't pull him back. The three of them looked at each other, and seeing that there was no way to persuade him, they had to agree.
Nier cleared her throat and spoke like a little adult, "Dad, then you have to promise us that you won't make more than ten adobe bricks a day, otherwise you will have to stay at home the next day and supervise the work."
Niu Li was a loyal supporter of his sister. He nodded seriously and said, "Dad, my sister is right. I will definitely supervise you. Your health is the most important thing."
Yan Zi and the third child smiled at each other and each touched the top of a child's head.
"Then thank you for your supervision. But I, your father, have endless energy now."
Nier thought to herself that her father was only cultivating those two acres of fertile land now, which was indeed much easier than before when he had to do the work of three people alone. He was also an expert in the fields and came home not too late every day, so he would not be tired from making some adobe bricks.
But those two acres of wasteland also have to be reclaimed. As long as I have enough money, I can hire people to do the work and let my father have more rest.
Lying in bed at night, I silently reviewed what I learned today, writing words in my mind over and over again. I digested all the content I learned in just one day.
Early the next morning, Ni'er went to Doctor Zhao's house carrying a basket on her back. Her father went to work in the fields, so Yan Zi and Niu Li stayed at home to embroider insoles.
Nier was thinking about her plan, and she became more and more excited. Her steps became faster and faster. When she saw Doctor Zhao just opened the door, she went up to greet him, "Doctor Zhao~"
Zhao Jincheng looked at a little kid jumping up to him. It didn't look like something happened at home. "Why are you here?"
Nier pouted when she heard this, "Why don't you welcome me?"
Zhao Jincheng quickly stepped aside and let Ni'er into the house. He had not taken a close look at the house before. The furnishings in the house were very simple. There was a large medicine cabinet and a table for treating patients with writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on it. There was a faint smell of medicine in the house, and nothing else.
Looking around, Nier expressed her thoughts, "Doctor Zhao, I want to learn medical skills from you."
I just thought that Ni'er had nothing to do today and came here to play with me. I didn't expect that a girl of this age actually wanted to learn medical skills from me. It was beyond my expectation.
Looking at Ni'er, who was only slightly taller than the table, with a serious and solemn expression on her face, Zhao Jincheng just wanted to laugh.
But he held back, "Do you really want to learn from me? But it's very boring, and many people can't stick with it."
Nier raised her head and looked at Zhao Jincheng firmly, "Of course, I am very serious, and I have memorized everything you taught me. If you don't believe me, you can test me."
Zhao Jincheng was just surprised. At her age, he was just a little boy who liked to play in the mud. He was not interested in any of these things. He didn't think much about what the teacher taught him and needed to study it several times before he could remember it. Could she really remember everything that was just said casually at that time?
He came to the yard, picked up a blade of grass and asked, "Tell me the name of this medicine. What disease can it be used to treat?"
Nier knew it was Ophiopogon japonicus at first sight. "This medicine is called Ophiopogon japonicus. It can treat cough caused by lung dryness and heat."
Looking back, I knew the rest of them. “Not only do I know this, I also know the ones that come after this.”
Zhao Jincheng's eyes lit up. He was missing someone who could help him, but he was worried that getting involved with her would cause trouble for her. He lowered his eyelids and gave it a try. "Then tell me their names and effects. If you get them wrong, I won't teach you."
Zhao Jincheng's mood was very complicated. He wanted Ni'er to be right, but he also didn't want her to be right. He was thinking that if Ni'er was really right about everything, he would take her in as his disciple and teach her some skills, which could be considered a legacy.
Nier walked to the row of medicines and said one by one, "This medicine is called Patchouli, it relieves summer heat and stops vomiting; this medicine is called Coix seeds, it strengthens the spleen and removes dampness; this medicine is called Moneywort, it removes dampness and reduces swelling;"
Seeing the last one, Nier thought that he had not taught me this medicine, but it was a wild vegetable she often picked, and she had also heard the old people in the village talk about the efficacy of this wild vegetable, so she plucked up the courage to pick up one.
After a closer look, he confirmed that it was that wild vegetable. "I haven't learned its medicinal name, but I know its common name."
"Everyone in the village calls it noodle dish. It can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs. Children with mild coughs can eat it."
"There is another dish that looks very similar to it, and people often mistake it for Mai Jia Gong. The difference between the two is that the noodle dish has small hairs on it, while Mai Jia Gong does not."
