The husband's son-in-law

"Yesterday, there was another noise at the entrance of the village."

"What's the matter, it's because Wang Ergou is back."

At noon, a few people sat and chatted together in the yard of Aunt Wang's house. Someone just raised his head and guessed who was talking to him. He curled his lips and felt that there was nothing to say.

At first the man said: "This time you said it was funny, Wang Ergou scolded Uncle Wang for stealing people behind his back."

"What's so funny about that? Didn't Wang Ergou say that when he asked for money? As far as Wang Xue's daily work is concerned, he doesn't even have time to pee, so how can he have time to steal?"

This was said by a married brother, Uncle, and the words were rough and reasonable, and everyone laughed after saying it.

"It's different, this time Wang Ergou even scolded him by name."

"Wang Xue can't steal someone, who is he stealing from?"

The person at the beginning just wanted to chat a few more words, which is also a rare thing, and he hung the big guy up, and then said: "Wang Ergou scolded Uncle Wang for stealing Li Zhouzhou, do you think it's funny, I didn't hear it last night Qing, I heard that Wang Ergou yelled, but it didn't kill me from laughing."

Everyone suddenly laughed together.

"Brother stealing brother, this is the first time I've heard it."

"Wang Ergou is really a dog with feces on his mouth. He even chewed this fart in order to ask for money."

"What happened in the end? What's going on? Wang Ergou won't be cheating on Li Zhouzhou, will he? That's a rascal."

"I'm afraid I can't. If we really fight, Li Zhouzhou doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage. Besides, Li Da, Li Da's hand, Wang Ergou has to go behind his back, and dare not make trouble with everyone in Li."

Li Da is tall and burly, and he can easily carry a pig of about two hundred catties. Just like Wang Ergou, he dare not fart in front of Li Da.

"I said that I didn't see Zhou Zhou when I bought tofu in the morning. Zhou Zhou came to buy tofu on weekdays. He said that his husband likes to eat, and the relationship between the two husbands and wives is good."

"Zhou Zhou is still a sensible kid. Although everyone knows that it is Wang Ergou and not a human being, Zhou Zhou and Uncle Wang are not in the same generation, but if he really went to buy tofu, it will definitely make things difficult for Uncle Wang. His in-laws... Oh forget it.”

"Isn't it? I just got married and heard that Uncle Wang was in charge of the money of the Wang family, and I thought his parents-in-law were not like the rumors outside. Now, it's been almost ten years. Who cares about the money, Wang Ergou asks who wants it?" , If you don’t give it, call it, if you really give it, the old couple will complain that they have given the money, and they are not human beings who care about the money.”

If Uncle Wang was the most eloquent, the clothes on his body would not be mended and worn for three to five years without seeing new ones, but the parents-in-law above would get new ones every two years, and they would still clutch their chests every two days. The screaming is uncomfortable and the body is not comfortable, and the work is completely pushed, and it is all the work of Uncle Wang.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more boring it gets."

The big guys like to be lively, but they are lively with Wang's family, especially Wang Xue's body is really ugly, the main reason is that Wang Xue is too miserable, looking for superiority in Wang Xue is like bullying, it is not good to compare with anyone and Wang Xue .

I didn't mention it anymore, and the more I talked, the more irritable I became, and I changed the subject one after another, talking about other things.Who knew that Aunt Wang, who was silent before, said, "Who knows if there is a real problem, or Li Zhouzhou ran to the entrance of the village at night."

"..." The big guy was speechless.

What's the matter, Aunt Wang?

"Auntie, are you having trouble with Zhou Zhou?"

"No." Seeing everyone looking at her, Aunt Wang lowered her head and sewed something in her hands, and said, "It was originally, and I didn't say anything."

Someone laughed, and it was just this conversation, and said: "I haven't finished talking yet. After a long quarrel last night, Gu Shulang came over and took Zhou Zhou back. I guess it was Zhou Zhou who asked Uncle Wang if he had any tofu. , Didn't the two of them go to Shili Village yesterday morning, Gu Shulang loves tofu, Zhou Zhou feels sorry for Xianggong."

It turned out to be the case.

There was nothing to explain, but Aunt Wang had to explain what she had said.No wonder Li Zhouzhou doesn't buy tofu anymore, but I have to avoid it. In the past, I saw that Aunt Wang treated Li Zhouzhou well. Aunt Wang even spoke up when Zhang's family pissed Li Zhouzhou a few times. Citation?

"Why did you go to Shili Village? To buy a stove? No way, aren't there two in his family?"

"I heard that I brought gifts. I went to Shili Village to see Zhu Xiucai and ask some questions."

"Oh, it's about scholars."

The big guys are not interested in the words of scholars, so they turn around and talk about other things.A few of them were still fighting eyebrows and eyeballs, and glanced at Aunt Wang, wondering what happened to Aunt Wang, and what happened to Li Zhouzhou?

Obviously this is lively and fun to watch.

Then how can I know that Li Zhouzhou doesn't like to talk, and seeing Aunt Wang's attitude, she probably won't talk either.The more you don't talk about it, the more curious you become, scratching your heart and lungs, and when you return from Aunt Wang's house, you will go with a good companion, and the two will go in the same direction.

"Why do you know? Aunt Wang said that today, isn't it hurting Uncle Wang?"

"Who in the village doesn't know how Uncle Wang and Zhou Zhou are? No one believes it. What happened to Aunt Wang and Zhou Zhou?" This is the point.

"I don't know, or ask Brother Xing."

Anyway, it's still early to cook, and it doesn't matter if you eat or not, the two went to Brother Xing'er's house together.Brother Xing had just finished washing his clothes, and was setting up clothes in the front yard. It was cold and hot water was being boiled for washing, while his nephew and niece coaxed Yuan Yuan to play.

As soon as the two came in, they didn't go into the house.

"The sun is good today, it's rare to be warm in winter, so I won't go in."

"Yes, I won't go in and sit down, I have to go back to cook later."

Brother Xing knew that the two of them had something to come, so he didn't ask, what he asked, he would just say it without him opening his mouth, otherwise why would he go to his house to look for him, could it be that they were really chatting?

Sure enough, there were not a few words, the two of you talked about what happened to Uncle Wang at the entrance of the village last night, and when it came to what I just heard, it was Li Zhouzhou who stole people from Uncle Wang——

"Fart! Who said that? A mouth full of dung, Zhou Zhou can do this kind of thing?" Brother Xing interrupted and scolded directly, isn't this a choreographer? Li Zhouzhou loves his husband so much, how could he steal someone.

Nonsense.

"That's what we said, right? No one in the village believes it."

"Yeah, no one believes it, don't be angry."

Brother Xing didn't believe it, "If no one believes and no one talks about it, then who learned that sentence just now?"

"As for what Aunt Wang said, someone pushed her back on the spot, but the relationship between Aunt Wang and Zhou Zhou seems to be okay on weekdays, what's the matter?"

Brother Xing put the fire back, and he said how to find him, and babbled about a lot of things about Uncle Wang, so he dared to wait for him here.But Aunt Wang can say that about Zhou Zhou, Brother Xing doesn't want to show face, and deliberately pretends to be embarrassed.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Excited to inquire.

Brother Xing was troubled, "Zhou Zhou won't let me learn from anyone, after all, they belong to the neighbors, so it's not good to tell them."

"It's fine if you don't say it."

"That's right, Brother Xing, you still can't trust us, don't worry, I promise not to learn from others."

"It's good to clarify the misunderstanding between the two of them. Maybe there is some misunderstanding in the middle, right? We can also persuade them."

Brother Xing thought it would be fine if you didn't fight each other, but it's not a big deal, Aunt Wang can tell Zhou Zhou and Uncle Wang with words behind their backs, and Li Zhouzhou's temperament needs him to stand out.

"Okay, it's just a small matter, I don't know if it's true, I told you to help persuade, Zhou Zhou really has no bad intentions..."

So he told Aunt Wang to go to Li Zhouzhou's house to buy a stove, and asked Li Zhouzhou to bargain with Mason Zhu.The two listened to the whole story contentedly, and on the way back they said, "Aunt Wang is also ashamed to speak up, knowing that her family is tight, so it will be fine if you don't buy a pot."

"It's not that I want to buy two more at a cheap price. No wonder you say that about Li Zhouzhou."

Everyone bought the stove for [-] Wen, and Gu Shulang was [-] Wen cheaper. It was because Gu Shulang came up with the idea and worked hard to engrave the characters. Aunt Wang didn’t pay anything. Those who buy Wen will not remember Aunt Wang, but they will remember Li Zhouzhou.

Why not give them cheap?

Now that Li Zhouzhou has rejected Aunt Wang, everyone bought it for thirty cents, so I feel at ease.

"I didn't say that, Aunt Wang is too frugal. There is a grandson in the house, and ten papers will be deducted."

"That's right, if you want to ask Mason Zhu cheaply, it's not Li Zhouzhou who fired the stove, and you still have a grudge, and you said that behind your back."

……

The Li family just finished their lunch.

Gu Zhaofu sorted out the "fertilizer" list written in the morning, and he just woke up in the morning, burning the stove every week to wake him up.

The stove in the main room is turned off before going to bed at night, and the two inner rooms are all kangs, so as to save firewood, and they can be turned on again when they get up early the next day.After burning for a while, Li Zhouzhou began to move the stove out and light it in the yard, because the firewood smelled bad and there were still soot.

The main room is very smoky, and it will be fine when it is lit.

Gu Zhao helped, but he was not as quick as Zhou Zhou to turn on the stove, so he couldn't help saying, "It should be more convenient to burn charcoal, and the ash is also small, so you don't have to move it around."

"Carbon is expensive. Now it's very convenient to burn it at home. It doesn't cost much money. It's durable and easy to use. It's just that the ash is bigger, and it's good to burn. If you don't need it, you can open the door." Li Zhouzhou lit it a few times in his hand. He fanned the firewood with a cattail fan in his hand, and saw that the flames were getting more and more prosperous, and then he said: "No one in the village is willing to buy carbon, and I still think it is so convenient."

"Chai can be picked up from the volcano. It doesn't cost money. If the dust is big, there is nothing to be afraid of. It can't be good in everything." Li Zhouzhou stood up and expressed his compassion.

Gu Zhao nodded, "Zhou Zhou is right. If you have money, you can burn charcoal. If you don't have money, you can burn firewood. It's better than before—"

Yes, better than before.

Gu Zhao stopped worrying about the plaster for a moment, put it aside, and happily said, "Zhou Zhou, I have an idea, it doesn't cost much money, but I don't know how much the crops in the field can increase the yield."

After thinking about it before and after the two talked, Li Zhouzhou understood what Xianggong meant, and said: "The harvest in the field is there, and nothing changes every year. If you can harvest an extra bucket, it will be a happy event."

"By the way, in our field, after the wheat is harvested every year, what do we do with the roots?"

Wheat is not harvested by uprooting, but is always cut with a sickle.

"Every household pushes the plow to plow the field, and the plow rots in the field. The old man said that it can also fertilize the field." Li Zhouzhou told his husband more about the crops. If you change the hay, you can use the stove, but if you don’t burn it, it’s better to use firewood.”

The stove was moved back to the main room, and Gu Zhao went back to the back room to take notes.

Peat ashes can be used to fertilize the field, and human and animal manure can be added to dilute it.The effect is definitely not as good as adding gypsum, but it is cheap and has no cost.But now it's cold, Gu Zhao went to the backyard to look around, the ground was too frozen, and when the spring came, the soil melted, so he dug a big hole next to the latrine to stir it up, saving a lot of money.

Gu Zhao was afraid that he was too ideal, so he asked his father.

"Successful, the ground has to be compacted with a stone hammer over and over again, so that water won't seep down." Li Da was puzzled, and said, "Why don't you just use a cesspit."

This is not a hassle.

"Father, the cesspit is fine in winter when it's cold, but in summer it's hot and fermenting gas, if you light wheat straw and throw it in, it's easy to explode." Gu Zhao explained.

Li Da couldn't understand what fermented gas was about, so he nodded and didn't say much.

Gu Zhao was rather curious, and said, "Father, I'm an outsider in the crop field, do you believe me when I say this? Are you not afraid of me talking about our crops?"

If Li Da really didn't dare to let Zhou Zhou let Gu Zhaohu come here before, it wasn't because Gu Zhao made up a panic last night and deceived Wang Ergou, who was stunned for a while, and didn't dare to spread the word, then he knew that Gu Zhaoren was cautious and courageous Big, the most important thing is——

"Dung manure field, something that the peasants in the village know, it's okay if you add water to it." It's just useless if it's exhausted, and it's nothing more than a lot of effort.

"What about peat ash?"

Li Da: "You said it was ashes. What is the ashes? The ashes of the firewood in our house were dumped casually, and the weeds outside were not dead."

If Gu Zhao said to put plaster, it would be different.Li Da will give you a no first, if you have never heard of something, don't even think about it.

It's snowing again.

Since Li Zhouzhou came back from Uncle Wang's house last time, he didn't buy tofu again. After two days, in the evening, Oda knocked on the door with a tofu bowl and said to deliver tofu.

Li Zhouzhou opened the door and let Xiaotian enter the room to keep warm.

Xiaotian shook his head and refused to enter, and said, "Brother Zhou Zhou, my father said don't worry about it, I will deliver it after you want to eat."

"You come in first, and I'll get you the money. If you don't take the money, I won't take the tofu either." Li Zhouzhou said.

Oda just entered the house, but he was standing in the yard.Li Zhouzhou couldn't move, so he went into the house and took the money, poured the tofu into his own bowl, gave the empty bowl to Xiaotian, and gave Siwen money.

Uncle Wang gave him more tofu every time.

Oda waved his hand not to say anything more.Li Zhouzhou said yes, but he saw that Xiaotian didn't know what to say, so he said, "You don't need to give it away, I will buy it myself tomorrow."

"Understood." Xiaotian nodded, walked out with an empty bowl, walked two steps and turned back, and whispered, "Brother Zhou Zhou, can you help my father?"

"What's wrong? What happened to your father?"

Oda's eyes were red, tears rolled down, and he wiped the tears with the back of his hand, and said, "My father hurt his leg, that man kicked it, and my father said it's not a problem, but it's been two days, and he's hurting from working. All the family money was taken away, and grandpa and grandma refused to let me buy medicine, saying that it was inconvenient to go to town when it snowed heavily."

"Understood, it's dark and snowy, so be careful on the way back."

Xiao Tian wiped away his tears, not knowing what else to say, as there was no one in the village to help them.If Dad hadn't protected him, he wouldn't have been kicked.

Li Zhouzhou saw Xiaotian walking away, and then went home.

During dinner at night, Li Zhouzhou thought and thought, but didn't know what to say.Gu Zhao saw that Zhou Zhou had just withdrawn the money from Xiaotian, and he was unsteady when he came back, so he asked, "What happened to Uncle Wang?"

"How do you know, Mr. Li?" Li Zhouzhou put down the bowl, repeated what Xiaotian said, and finally whispered: "I want to go to the town tomorrow to buy a bottle of medicinal oil."

Li Zhouzhou went to see his father again, "Medical oil is not expensive, I buy cheap ones, and use the money from selling eggs."

Li Da kept digging the porridge, and interrupted without saying a word, then raised his eyelids to look at Zhou Zhou, and said, "It's snowing so hard, you dare to go out alone? I'll go tomorrow, and I happen to be out of peanuts, so I'll buy some peanuts to eat." "

There are still peanuts at home.

Gu Zhao heard that his father was hurting Zhou Zhou, so he didn't foolishly say that there are still more peanuts.

"Are you out of peanuts? I remember there are still some in the kitchen cabinet." Li Zhouzhou said.

Gu Zhao: ... Wife, you are so honest.

"It's almost Lantern Festival, shall we roll the Lantern Festival? Do you want to use glutinous rice flour? Dad will come and buy some glutinous rice flour tomorrow." Gu Zhao helped his father.

Li Dan hummed, and said: "There are still peanuts, so I don't buy them, I buy glutinous rice flour."

It was settled.

After washing up, they went back to their rooms and got on the kang, Li Zhouzhou embraced his husband's dinner and said, "Does daddy want to run for me?"

"Reacted?"

"At that time, I didn't turn my head around. I was thinking about Uncle Wang, so I just said it."

"We Zhou Zhou have a good heart. After we get along for a long time, everyone loves you. Even if you buy a piece of tofu, you will give an extra penny." My brother fell into the water and got sick when he was a child, and you two secretly brewed medicine behind your father's back, wouldn't your father know?"

The smell of medicine is so strong, but I just pretended not to see it and acquiesced.

Li Zhouzhou knew that his father cared about him, otherwise he wouldn't have spent money to recruit a son-in-law. No matter how you put it, the father and son had never exchanged these words, and they put them on the table. Hearing what the husband said now, he felt warm in his heart.

feel happy.

"No, I'll put the noodles on, and I'll steam a pot of steamed buns for dad when I get up early tomorrow, and then go after eating." Li Zhouzhou got up and dressed to go to the kitchen.

His family, Zhou Zhou, is the same as his father. He always treats you well without talking about it, but actually doing it.Gu Zhao got up together, and Li Zhouzhou asked the husband to lie down and sleep, and he would be fine in a while.

"I can't sleep, so I just want Zhou Zhou to talk to me." Gu Zhao acted like a baby.

Li Zhouzhou laughed, he could tell that his husband was teasing him.

The two of them went to the stove, Li Zhouzhou kneaded the noodles nimbly, the weather was cold and the basin couldn't be steamed in the stove, so after washing his hands, he took the basin and put it on the kang in the inner room, with a basin on top.

After this busy work, I went to bed early on the kang.

The next day the rooster didn't crow, so Li Zhouzhou woke up in the dark, lit the oil lamp and went to the stove house with the basin in hand.The stuffing is well mixed, cabbage, tofu and meat, mix it in a pot, pour some lard into it, the dough is good, roll it out after a while, put the steamed buns one by one on the steamer.

When the steamed stuffed buns came out, Li Da also got dressed and came out, seeing that the fire in the stove was on, he knew that Zhou Zhou got up early to cook, and said, "What are you doing so early, I'll go to town and eat something."

"Father, buns." Li Zhouzhou picked up a few buns, put them in a bowl and handed them to Dad, then poured hot water, "Daddy's stuffed with meat, eat while it's hot."

Li Daai loved this mouthful, so he didn't delay immediately, and ate seven big buns in a row while they were roasting in the stove.

"Father, take the bamboo hat with you." Li Zhouzhou went to the firewood room and brought out his things.

Li Daben thought it was troublesome, so he finally put it on after thinking about it, and set off with the basket on his back.

It was just dark in the afternoon, and Li Daxie came back with a basket on his back. He bought medicinal oil, glutinous rice flour, and some big stick bones of red dates.The bamboo hat was covered with snow, and luckily I wore it. When I came back, it was snowing heavily.

Li Zhouzhou prepared hot water for his father to soak his feet to comfort him, and prepared food.

After I finished eating, I thought about going to deliver medicine to Uncle Wang in the dark, but also thought about that night——so I hesitated to go during the day, but there were many people going to the yard to buy tofu during the day.

"Frank and upright, if you are afraid that Uncle Wang will refuse and be embarrassed to accept the medicinal oil, then wait for someone to give less in private." Gu Zhao shook Zhou Zhou's hand and said, "No matter what other people in the village say, I and Dad believes in you."

Does Li's family still talk behind their backs?If you hide and hide, maybe someone will say that there is something wrong with the appointment, and you will avoid it when you are discovered. If there is no problem, why don't you come and go during the day?

Li Zhouzhou listened to his husband, and the next day guessed that there were almost enough tofu buyers, so he went to the village entrance with a bowl.I met other aunts and uncles on the road and said hello.

"Buy tofu every week?"

"Yes, my husband-in-law likes to eat it. In the evening, he said to cook a big stick soup with cabbage and tofu." Li Zhouzhou said in detail. He was not afraid, but he had to think about Uncle Wang's situation.

Auntie smiled and joked: "Zhou Zhou really cares about Gu Shulang."

"It's good for my husband to treat me. Besides, the stove is usually used for heating in the main room. It's no trouble to throw the bones in. The frozen tofu is especially delicious."

"Then I will do the same."

After the formalities were over, the chatter said, "Zhou Zhou is still here to buy tofu."

"That man's husband likes to eat, and there is only one family in the village. He can't eat tofu and run to the town. Besides, who would bother himself with a few words for Wang Ergou? If Wang Ergou touches you next time, you won't come? "

"Speech! How did you talk?"

"Look, I'm still in a hurry. Wang Ergou is a naughty rascal. He's picking on Li Zhouzhou today. Fortunately, Li Zhouzhou is a brother. If he's picking on other people, what will Uncle Wang do with his tofu business in the future?"

"Hey, this bastard's life is still good. Parents don't care, and married a capable Uncle Wang."

Some people enjoy a good life, while others have a bad life. They were picked up by the Wang family only after doing evil in their previous life.

"Forget it, I just remembered something else when I saw Zhou Zhou. Aunt Wang knows, just next door to Zhou Zhou. Aunt Wang, she, I'll learn from you, you can't spread it out."

"Don't talk, don't talk, just tell me what's going on."

"Just a few days ago, didn't Wang Ergou make a fuss about Li Zhouzhou? Nobody believed the big guys, guess what, Aunt Wang and Zhou Zhou hadn't blushed before, but they said Zhou Zhou... "

"Is there still this?"

"Why is she ten cents cheaper, and she made a fuss when she didn't buy it?"

"is not that right."

……

When Li Zhouzhou entered the Wang's Courtyard, there were three other people in front of him, who greeted each other, and left after paying the money after shopping, only Li Zhouzhou was left.Li Zhouzhou thought nothing happened, so he ordered a piece of tofu as usual, and when Uncle Wang finished making it, he handed over the money.

At the same time, he took out the medicinal oil hidden in his sleeve and put it on the stone mill.

"I have some left at home that I can't use anymore." After Li Zhouzhou finished speaking, he carried the tofu and left. He ran out of the gate of Wang's courtyard, fearing that Uncle Wang would catch up.

As a result, the three people who bought tofu before and didn't go far away heard the movement, and when they saw Li Zhouzhou running away, they immediately looked at each other, full of sympathy, this Wang Ergou is really not human, look at the two brothers I was so forced that I didn't dare to keep more tofu when I bought it, so I ran away.

They all avoid it.

Sorry to see you.

Since then, no one in the village has talked about Uncle Wang and Li Zhouzhou.

Wang's small courtyard.

Wang Xue saw the medicated oil bottle on the stone mill and opened it. It was still new and full. How could it be used? In this snowy day, I don't know if it was bought or saved.

No matter what, Wang Xue's eyes were red as she held the medicine oil bottle.

"Father." Xiao Tian went into the stove to help light the fire, and when he saw his father wiping tears behind his back, he became anxious, "Father, does your leg hurt again?"

Wang Xue wiped away his tears and said, "No." Seeing his son's worried face, he said, "Brother Zhou Zhou just brought over a bottle of medicinal oil, so don't tell anyone, I just rubbed the medicine and it'll be fine and the pain won't hurt anymore." .”

Oda knew not to talk nonsense, otherwise grandpa and grandma would scold daddy again.

"Father, wipe it quickly, I'll see." Xiaotian stood at the door of the stove and watched.

Wang Xue was heartbroken, she was at home, and she had to apply medicated oil to guard against others. This is not his and his son's home, he is an outsider.

Oda stood guard, feeling nervous and happy when he smelled the medicinal oil, as soon as Father rubbed the medicine on his legs, the pain would be gone.Brother Zhou Zhou is really nice.

It would be great if he could grow up quickly, become stronger, and be able to work in the fields. His family has less land, so let Dad rest. He can finish the work by himself, and he can also go to Zhou Zhou's brother's house to do it.

But he is so small.

When can I grow up.

In a blink of an eye, it is fifteen, and the Lantern Festival is over.

The last time Li Da bought glutinous rice flour, the family will eat it during the Lantern Festival this year.Li Zhouzhou prepared two kinds of stuffing, one brown sugar peanut, one black sesame peanut, the sugar cube that Zhu Mason's son took last time, Li Zhouzhou didn't give it away, and it happened to be used now.

Black sesame seeds and peanuts are fried in an iron pan, and the peanuts are peeled off and mashed with a pounder.This step was done by Gu Zhaolan, and said, "Make sure the crushing is just right, the peanuts will not be too small or too big."

When it’s ready, the lard melts and brown sugar peanuts are kneaded into balls. It’s cold and put outside to freeze. The lard solidifies quickly. Then dip the core with some water, sprinkle glutinous rice flour on the bamboo dustpan, and shake it back and forth to roll the stuffing. , After a while, it will be white and fat balls.

Put it in a pot of boiling water, and it will be ready to eat when it floats.

You don’t need to put anything, the glutinous rice soup is delicious, and the Lantern Festival is round and round, one mouthful, oily, sweet and glutinous, and another mouthful of soup is really comfortable.

After Gu Zhao ate two bowls, Li Zhouzhou was happy and secretly laughed, as the husband really likes sweet things.

Then he was fed by Gu Zhao with a spoon.

"Zhou Zhou also needs to eat more, so he can be safe and round," Gu Zhao said.

This food is not cheap if it is mixed with sugar, and it is not easy to make it on weekdays. Zhou Zhou first ate it tightly, reluctant to eat the second portion, so Gu Zhao scooped up the second bowl and shared it with Zhou Zhou. It tastes better.

When the new year begins, the lazy peasants are busy during the winter. In fact, they can’t do anything else, but they still go to the fields every three days. Miao Miao Ding sharpened, and then became more at ease.

Not frozen.

During this period, Zhu Mason's son came to the door and gave Gu Zhao the big teapot that Gu Zhao mentioned last time with a basket on his back. Li Zhouzhou offered the money, but the other party declined. In the end, Li Zhouzhou gave some of the sausages stuffed at home. .

After two days of warm weather, Li Zhouzhou said that the land was done and it was time to leave, so he went to the town with his husband.

Originally, Li Zhouzhou said that he didn't need to make a trip for his husband, it was too hard.Gu Zhao said to go early, he also wanted to be active.The main thing is to buy stewed ingredients. He knows star anise, fragrant leaves, cinnamon bark, etc. Maybe the current pharmacy doesn’t have this name, so I made a gesture to Zhou Zhou.

The two set off early.

Maybe this winter, Gu Zhao Jiantian drank bone soup, and after sitting at the desk for a long time, he was able to move his body and work, such as climbing up and down to sweep snow and chop firewood, so walking is not too tiring.

Anyway, I didn't have the feeling of gnashing my teeth when I went there for the first time.

When they arrived in the town, Li Zhouzhou boasted, "My husband is really strong today, and he didn't take much rest."

Gu Zhao: ...

Wife, you seem to be praising the cub.

Arriving early, I asked the townspeople, who pointed out the way and said that the pharmacy was not open yet.The two of them went to the breakfast stand for a rest, one penny for soy milk, two penny for white cake, this cake was smeared with lard, baked in an iron pan, the outside was crispy, and the inside was soft.

The two asked for a pancake, and when they came here, they made a mouthful at home, and now they can just make do with it.

After eating and warming up, I went to the pharmacy.The door of the pharmacy just opened, and the clerks in the store were cleaning up. Seeing the two of them, they stopped working on the rags in their hands, and asked if they wanted to grab medicine and look at the prescription.

"No, I want to ask if there are star anise, fragrant leaves, cinnamon bark, and grass fruit sold in the store. Actually, I can't remember the names. I only saw the appearance. Could you please show me something similar?" Gu Zhao asked.

The door only opened early in the morning, and there was no one in the store. The waiter was patient and said, "There are geraniums, is the star anise you are talking about a dime?" He took it out and put it on the counter for himself to see.

Gu Zhao saw it was true.

At this time, the price of medicinal materials is generally higher, anyway, it is higher than daily necessities, because it needs to be picked and processed, but fortunately, there are no particularly expensive medicinal materials in it. I bought a pack and spent [-] Wen.

Same price as sugar cubes.

The man packed it up and took the money.When Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou were leaving, the road at the door was blocked by a three-wheeled wooden cart, and the man shouted, "Excuse me, your shop ordered a bag of stone powder and delivered it."

Gu Zhao stopped, saw the linen bag on the cart, and white powder from the gap, and suddenly thought of one thing!

In ancient times, there was a plague, and when the plague was eliminated, lime powder was spread, and then water was sprinkled to produce mature lime, which was sterilized by calcium hydroxide!
