Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt
Chapter 15: Encountering Xu 8 on the Road and Helping Him
240 yuan, this amount can break % of farmers' families. For example, Liu Xialian's father, who earns hundreds of yuan a year, only has to yuan. This is just income. With four children, the expenses are huge. He can't save yuan in a year. What's more, Xu Shiba is farming in the village. The land contract system has just been implemented. The land is not yet mature, so the income is not good at all.
"What? It's so serious. I'll go take a look."
The hospital at that time was also very simple, and the wards were all small bungalows with three beds in each room. However, Guilan's howling was so miserable that no one wanted to share a room with her. "
When Liu Xia Lian came in, a little girl of seven or eight years old was holding her mother's hand with tears in her eyes.
"Xiaohong will always love her mother and hope she gets better soon." This is Xu Shiba's eldest daughter, Xiaohong, who is eight years old this year.
It turned out that Guilan's illness had relapsed. Last year she had ascariasis in her gallbladder, and this year she had gallstones. She had to undergo surgery. If she didn't, she might lose her life at any time.
Guilan forced herself to sit up: "Shi Ba, let's go. If we die, we'd rather die at home. If we die here, how are you going to transport us back home?"
Liu Xia Lian helped the man lie down: "What nonsense, lie down for a while, it's just a small illness and you could die, I'll find a way."
After leaving the ward, Liu Xia Lian took out the money she had on her, counted it one by one, and handed it to Xu Shiba, a total of 240 yuan.
"Brother Xu, take the money and start the surgery quickly."
"I can't pay you back this money in a short time."
"It's okay. Let's get treatment first. We can talk about the money when we get back. I don't have much money left. You can take care of your own food."
Xu Shiba wiped his tears and quickly paid the money for treatment.
The eldest girl complained: "Sister, you gave him the money, what are you going to do when you pick up the car in a few days?"
"You can't just stand there and watch someone die for two or three hundred dollars. It's okay. Xu Shiba is a real man, and Sister Guilan is a good person. She won't refuse to pay you back."
Things were delayed, and when Liu Xialian returned to the village it was already five o'clock. She took the trap and went to the river to set the trap. She happened to see Li Damei fishing with a bamboo hat. Next to her was her big wooden tub for bathing. There were many fish in it. There were dozens of crucian carps, catfish, and a few big snappers, but they were not big.
"Damei, what's wrong with you today? Why are there so many?"
"This is not just my achievement. At noon, sister Qiuyue came to help collect the traps. I used some crushed corn kernels to make a nest. Who knew it was so effective? I caught quite a few fish. It was really fun."
While they were talking, Li Damei pulled up a grass carp weighing about two kilograms.
"Damei, put your fishing rod in place and come over here and try on your clothes."
Liu Xialian put the army green cotton coat on Li Damei, and Damei was surprised: "Sister, you don't act like a boss. You spend money whenever you have it. When can you become a big boss?"
"The weather is going to get cold soon. We have to dress warmly when we go hiking. Besides, I won't allow my sisters to dress worse than others. It's getting late. You should go back and cook. I'll go over to eat after I finish setting the trap. I had a fight in the forest today and I'm hungry."
"What's going on? Are you so anxious to sell ginseng?"
"That's about it. I met some forest farm kids who wanted to steal my ginseng. Take this bag of flour home and make dumplings for dinner."
The four of them had dinner in the evening. Li Damei thought about it and realized that she still had some old eggplants and some green beans in her vegetable garden, so she took two catfish home and went to cook.
After returning to the village, Daya and Erya felt much more relaxed. They were no longer as restrained as they were in the restaurant. They went to the riverside to set traps and scattered some corn around each trap.
No matter pheasants, doves or hares, they all need to drink water after eating and drinking, so the traps were buried in advance on their drinking paths. After setting twenty traps, Liu Xialian also called it a day and took Daya and Erya to fill three bags of fine sand by the river.
Daya asked: "Sister, what is the whole sandbag for?"
"Hang on the tree in Damei's yard. The three of us will fight with sandbags and practice. We will dig bigger ginseng in the future. There will be various dangers. I will teach you two some skills so that you can fight more flexibly."
Erya looked at Liu Xialian in surprise: "Sister, I remember now, you seem to know martial arts. We want to become your apprentice and learn martial arts. You can't accept us easily. You have to make us kneel at the door for a night."
Liu Xia Lian's brain short-circuited. What was going on?
Daya went over and slapped her sister: "I told you to listen to less storytelling, but you refused to listen. Are you crazy?"
Erya scratched her head: "I, I, I was just joking."
Liu Xia Lian asked Daya and Erya to carry the big wooden barrel to the house, and then shouted to her mother: "I'm going to Damei's house for dinner, you don't have to wait for me."
"Okay, come back early. I heard someone in the next village encountered a black bear at night."
"Can't you just say I'm good and leave."
Mother and eldest sister were smoking meat. The eldest brother-in-law Zhang Wang came once. He admitted his mistakes in a good manner, but he didn't dare to agree to split the family. There are plenty of homesteads these days, but building a house requires money, which is not something that can be done by talking. Zhang Wang thought about buying someone's unused house to avoid owing a large amount of money to build a new house, which would make life more difficult.
The eldest sister also came to terms with it. As a person, you have to show off when you should. When you have strength and ability, everyone will be polite to you. But if you are not so good and wear tattered clothes, even stray dogs will bark at you.
Thirty kilograms of wild boar meat were made into more than a dozen pieces of smoked meat, and four grass carps weighing more than two kilograms were also smoked. Liu Qiuyue decided to take the smoked meat and fish home and let the old woman take a good look at them.
"My second sister is amazing. She became a boss so quickly. When my child grows up, I want to work with her."
Mother sighed: "This one hasn't grown up yet, I guess there will be another one in a few days."
Qiuyue shook her head and sighed. Women are helpless. Men have no other options these days. They can't always sleep with their wives. What does marriage give women? Washing pots and dishes and taking care of children, is this how their lives are going to be spent?
Liu Qiuyue shook her head and said, no, she also wanted to make a career like her second sister.
"Mom, is this old hen sitting on eggs? The weather is going to get cold soon."
"Don't worry about it, it's just messing around. It's the only chicken now, so where can it lay eggs? Just have some fun, and don't expect it to lay eggs."
Back to Li Damei's house. The room was very bright because of the newly bought Qisifeng lamp. There were two large porcelain bowls on the table, one containing eggplant stewed with catfish, and the other containing pork and oil beans.
A typical local dish that is not available elsewhere.
Cut the long eggplant into small pieces, cut the catfish into pieces, stew them until they are soft and tasty, stew the catfish and eggplant, and the old man is so full. Liu Xialian ate a piece of catfish, which was fat but not greasy, and tasted great. She nodded and praised: "Damei, when I have money, I will open a restaurant and hire you as the chef."
