Red House Farm Stay

Chapter 13 Methods

Mrs. Liu took the silver bracelet to Wang Gou'er to grab the medicine, and when the medicine came back, there were still a few dimes of silver left, so I handed over all my annoyance to Mrs. Liu.

Jia Zhuo used a small stove to decoct the medicine, and Qing'er squatted beside him to watch.Seeing it, tears fell again, and before Jia Zhuo could wipe it off, he covered his eyes and asked, "Grandma will definitely get better, right?"

"The doctor said nothing happened, of course it will get better." Jia Zhuo's calm made Qing'er feel a little calmer.

But she still couldn't help talking to herself, "Grandma Li in Xianghe Village said she was fine when she was sick, and she collapsed on a field stalk a few days later to have a funeral."

"We won't let grandma go to the field. After drinking the medicine, nothing will happen."

"Yes, Granny Li just didn't take the medicine. Let's take the medicine. Grandma will be fine after drinking it." Qing'er finally found a reason to convince herself that she broke into a smile. When she laughed, the tears were still rolling in the corners of her eyes. of shiny.

There was an extra patient in the family, and Grandma Liu, who wanted to get up after drinking the medicine for a day, was taken over by Mrs. Liu, Qing'er and Jia Zhuo.And because there was an extra cornfield in the family, there was already a shortage of manpower, and this time another one fell, which made the situation even more stretched.

Mrs. Liu's weaving cart was rented from the shop after paying a fixed amount of money. There was a stipulation on the amount of cloth to be spun in a month, otherwise they would have to take it back.Before the food from the land was confiscated, the whole family's sporadic expenses were pointed at this weaving cart.

Therefore, Jia Zhuo often heard the sound of spinning wheels in the middle of the night, and Mrs. Liu put the unfinished work in the daytime at night. The family really couldn't live without this income, so she had to find time to make up for it.

Jia Zhuo, who had never been able to sleep as soon as she touched the pillow, had read her grandmother's prescription several times, and also asked Wang Gou'er when she had the opportunity.In fact, my grandma either had some kind of illness, or she was old and had worked so hard these days that she fell down.

Although it is not sick, it has to be taken care of slowly, if it is not well taken care of.Wang Gou'er didn't say it clearly, and Jia Zhuo also knew that the consequences would be bad.

But in such a situation at home, there is no food in hand and the heart feels panic. The whole family dare not stop for a moment, because if they stop, it means starvation.Even she can't fall asleep, so why is grandma really willing to recuperate well?

The idea is not so good, Jia Zhuo didn't sleep well all night, and when he was watering the cornfield the next day, he found that the colored peppers in the interval showed a touch of golden color.There was nothing unusual about the chili stalks growing out, Jia Zhuo almost forgot about them, only remembered when he saw the color.

Seven or eight chili stalks, some are red and some are yellow.This kind of colored pepper can grow to the size of an adult's fist. It is red or yellow all over, like lanterns hanging on poles. It is beautiful and meaningful, and has always been very popular.

Jia Zhuo was in a daze, staring at it. Qing'er, who came over after feeding the chicken, gave her a push, "Sister Zhuo, what are you looking at?"

"Qing'er, I've figured out a way." Jia Zhuo held Qing'er's shoulders and jumped up excitedly.

"What happened?" Qing'er didn't know what happened. Seeing Jia Zhuo jumping up and down excitedly, she knew that something good must happen.

"Wait a few days, wait a few days and I will take you into the city."

"Going to the city?" Qing'er's eyes lit up, then darkened again, hooked Jia Zhuo's clothes and said, "We can't live without people at home, and we won't be allowed to go into the city without an adult taking care of us."

From Liujia Village to the city, they all take donkey carts. The men who drive the carts have to go into the city every day, and they simply pick up the villagers, and each receives three copper coins, and pulls them back after noon.The Wang family is in a mess right now, who will take them into the city.

"No, Uncle Wang will agree." Jia Zhuo did not continue to explain.

Only when they came back from work at night did they go up and ask, "Uncle, I have something to ask you."

"Is there any official in Jinling City who came back from other places recently? The family is rich and has a ten-year-old daughter. I don't remember the last name."

The first thing Wang Gou'er did when he came back was to go to Wang Mi's field, take a closer look at the growth, and then go to Grandma Liu's room to ask, other than that, he hardly heard him speak.

But Jia Zhuo decided that Wang Gou'er was not what he seemed on the surface, but just an old farmer.He is not only literate, but also follows Jia Yun up and down to rescue himself.He must know the external affairs.

Wang Gou'er glanced at her, "It stands to reason that both the Jun's family and the Niu's family meet these two conditions. The Jun's family came back last month, and the Niu's family just arrived in the past few days. However, if you ask this? What are you going to do? Those people who are in trouble, even if they used to have friendship, they can't take it seriously now."

Jia Zhuo shook his head, "Xiao Zhuo didn't want to seek friendship, but this pepper seed promised to give her a pot of the Miss Jun's family. Although our family is down now, but we promised others, we dare not No. Xiaozhuo wants Qing'er to send it for me, and he will not disclose his name, just want to have a clear conscience."

After Jia Zhuo finished speaking, Wang Gou'er nodded, "You have to keep your word in order to be a human being. Now that you've made up your mind, as long as you don't reveal your identity, next time your aunt goes to the city, let her bring you two with her."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Jia Zhuo had already figured it out. In five or six days, the Liu family would have to go to the city. By then, the colored peppers would have grown up a bit, and they would look better when served.

Turning around and telling Qing'er, knowing that she was going to deliver something, she was immediately nervous.

"I'm afraid, I don't know what to say."

"It's not because of me, I'll teach you." Jia Zhuo only hated that he couldn't show up, but fortunately, there was a young man who could help, taught him every sentence, and even went to the cornfield to practice.

Before leaving, Mrs. Liu took out a new suit, which was made when the time was good. Later, when she moved, Qing'er had to help with a lot of work, so she didn't wear it.

A white satin skirt was paired with a peach red summer dress, with plump red cherries embroidered on the collar of the collar. After wearing it, she put on two round buns and pinned a red silk flower given by the daughter-in-law of the Leng family. Reaching out to help her stretch her clothes, "Let's go."

When they went out with two cloths on their backs, there were seven or eight people from the same village and two or three people from the next-door village in the donkey cart.This cart is full of women. When it comes to spinning the spinning wheel, Jia Zhuo knows that this is not something that everyone can do.

"The Wang family is still capable. In the whole village, only Grandma Liu can weave such a pattern of forging. We can't learn it."

"Yes, I heard from my mother that Grandma Liu is the most capable person in our village. She can embroider and weave, and she can cook and even handle weddings and weddings. Who wouldn't envy the Liu family for marrying a good girl?" daughter in law."

It's a compliment obviously, but it doesn't mean that no matter how capable she is, she only has one daughter. If it weren't for the kindness of her son-in-law, she would be a lonely old woman who is left alone.

Jia Zhuo held a pot of red peppers in his arms, and covered them with a cloth so that no one could see them.Listening in my ears, I was full of indignation but only helpless.

Mrs. Liu also pretended that she didn't hear them, and closed her eyes and didn't talk to them much.

After getting out of the car, several women walked away together, and then they said one by one: "What kind of pretending to be a rich family, I thought I was married to a good family, so what if someone in my ancestors was an official. Didn't he end up running back to his mother's house to live on two acres of land."

"I heard that their family didn't suffer a disaster, but they offended the nobleman, and they killed them with a single little finger."

"Hey, it's not true, will the nobleman chase after Liu's Village and implicate us?"

"Who knows? In Grandma Liu's life, people have nothing to say. Everything is good, but fate is bad."

All the women nodded together, everything is fate, and it is not in the slightest.

Jia Zhuo and his party naturally couldn't hear this, Liu handed over the cloth, asked the shopkeeper in the shop to find out the address of Jun's house, and brought the two children to the neighborhood.

"Qing'er, don't be afraid." Jia Zhuo removed the cloth cover, revealing the red peppers that had been transplanted into the bamboo baskets. Every leaf was carefully wiped, and the damaged leaves were also trimmed.The chili peppers that have grown to the size of a baby's fist are red, hanging between the leaves, like little red lanterns, really cute.

"It's so beautiful." Qing'er watched it at home every day, but now she couldn't help crying out, hugged her in her arms, glanced at the gate with a plaque hanging high in the distance, and mustered up the courage to go forward.

What Qing'er was holding in his arms was something that the concierge of Jun's family had never seen before. Looking at this little girl's clean head and face, and the clothes on her body were not bad, she knew which girl she might be from, so she hurried forward.

"I didn't see how hard it was for me to hug, so I didn't come to pick it up. I'm so hot, why is Jinling City so hot." The more Qing'er bossed around, the more the porter didn't dare to neglect, and she really took it over and hugged her.

"Oh, it's too bad, I didn't bring the post. I'm going to be laughed to death by my sisters." Qing'er shook her head, pouted and said to the concierge: "This is a gift from our lady to your eldest lady." Yes, this is a rare item that came from afar, and it was delivered as soon as it hit the ground, so hurry up and take it in, I have to believe it and reply."

The concierge ordered someone to carry the colored pepper in, and invited her to drink tea and sit and rest inside the door.

After a while, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid came out quickly followed by a seven or eight-year-old girl, and when she saw Qing'er sitting in the door, her whole face was full of smiles.

"Dare to ask which family's lady sent it here. She really has a heart. As expected of Jinling City, there are all kinds of rare things. Our lady invites the girl to go in and answer."

Qing'er was full of smiles, and poured out the words that she had memorized for several days, "This sister, our lady's surname is Niu, and she just came to Jinling City. These potted flowers have been prepared a long time ago, and I want to give them away The ladies from several families enjoyed it. It’s just that the journey is too far, and only a few pots survived, so I didn’t dare to make too much trouble, so I sent them here first, and you can live well after transplanting.”

It perfectly explained why the bamboo baskets were used as flower pots, which were originally moved directly from the boat.And because I just moved, I guess there was a mess up and down, so I didn't think carefully, and sent me a flower pot without a cover.
