Chapter 285 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (35)
She took out the bedding that she had carried from the Li family when she was fleeing the famine, and turned it over to dry it.
Speaking of which, cotton seems to be suitable for planting in loose, sandy soil with good air permeability.
How about planting two acres of cotton in spring? Next year during the Chinese New Year, Erlang and Third Sister can be covered with new quilts.
Xu Yin thought so and listed the cotton planting plan in a small notebook.
After autumn, it rains more.
Fortunately, the strong labor force in the village was put away every day to bake bricks and tiles, and the accumulated bricks and tiles were enough to replace everyone with brick houses. When every household lives in a brick house, there will be no need to worry about heavy rain.
So some of the young people continued to burn kilns, while others began to shout labor chants "Hey Ho Hey" and "Hey Ho Hey" and began to build brick houses.
The first self-occupied tiled house in Hope Village was built for Xu Yin.
According to the drawings she provided, we built three and a half rooms, two bedrooms, a hall and kitchen, and half a bathroom.
To this end, Xu Yin drew up a practical and environmentally friendly biogas digester drawing.
Everyone may not understand it, but anyway, just follow it!
“Yin Yin.” Xu Yin was doing general cleaning for her newly completed home when Cuilan came over to find her, “My family also wants to build a house like yours, is that okay?”
"Of course!" Xu Yin said, "I gave the blueprint to Shi Feng. You can go find him. He has experience and knows how to build it."
After Cuilan left, Erlang said to her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Brother Feng likes Sister Cuilan! Sister Cuilan also noticed it. She is not shy. She didn't dare to find Brother Feng, so she came to you. As a result... Hehehe! Brother Feng must be very happy..."
…”
So, she unknowingly did the work of a matchmaker?
anyway-
“Li Yuanrong, you are eight years old after the Chinese New Year. Those children from scholarly families in the city will have to take exams at the age of eight. Why are you still such a gossip?”
Erlang stuck out his tongue and ran away, saying as he ran: "I am not a kid from the city, I am a kid from Hope Village!"
Xu Yin laughed angrily: "I'll invite you a wife back tomorrow!"
She does what she says!
The next day, she changed back into men's clothes. It was more convenient to go out in men's clothes.
Then he took the two cubs to the market in the next town.
It’s not that I don’t want to go to the county town to find my wife, but it’s just that a carriage has to travel for half a day from the wasteland to the county town. What’s more, there is no carriage. If you walk on two legs, you won’t reach the city gate, and there may be a curfew in the city.
The owner of the medicine shop still recognized her. He heard her say that she wanted to find a wife for her brother. He stroked his beard and said: "Wen Xiucai from the back alleys, someone in the family is sick. Yesterday he came to buy medicine on credit. The family is too poor to open the door. Recruiting students."
“Thank you, shopkeeper!”
After the medicinal materials were sold out, Xu Yin went straight to the house according to the address provided by the shopkeeper.
Some people are indeed sick, and the strong smell of Chinese medicine can be smelled through the courtyard door.
The thin man with unshaven beard and haggard appearance who came to open the door was exactly the Wen Xiucai mentioned by the shopkeeper.
Hearing Xu Yin's intention to come, he nodded: "It's from the students, but Shu Xiu can't get it on credit, and he doesn't want to deduct food or vegetables."
"That's no problem." Xu Yin gave him a piece of silver directly. In his surprised eyes, she smiled and said, "Erlang's room and board expenses are included."
In addition, she asked Wen Xiucai: "I wonder what medicinal materials are needed for the medicine that the scholar lady drinks?"
She did not dare to put all the medicinal materials sent by the three brothers of the He family into the system warehouse, but left a lot outside. Erlang and Third Sister both know it. If she could help, she wouldn't mind giving some to the other party.
Wen Xiucai's eyes were filled with sadness: "The doctor said it was postpartum wind caused by miscarriage. I've been drinking decoction for half a month, but it's still not getting better."
“Postpartum wind?”
She flipped through "The Complete Book of Jingyue" and found an article on "Three Postpartum Bans". A certain symptom mentioned in it seemed to be similar to a cold, and Xiaobupleurum was used to treat it. Could it be that the scholarly lady was weak after giving birth and suffered from cold?“Are there any obvious symptoms?”
Xiucai talked about it one by one. After comparing it, Xu Yin felt that it was almost exactly the same as the symptoms mentioned in the postpartum three prohibitions. Maybe Xiaobupleurum could be tried.
After thinking about it, she said: "Since the medicine prescribed by the doctor has not improved after taking it for half a month, it means it is not symptomatic. It is better not to take it. I have a medicine here that suits her symptoms and has no side effects. You can try it. It will be effective." If so, I will bring you some medicinal materials tomorrow when I send Erlang to officially become a disciple."
She cooked him a bowl of small bupleurum granules.
After the scholar lady drank the medicine and fell asleep, she said goodbye and came out.
Erlang looked at her doubtfully: "Sister-in-law, when did you take the herbs out?"
“Sister-in-law has always brought her.” Xu Yin diverted their attention, “Look! There are candied haws, do you want to eat them?”
Three sisters nodded like garlic: "I think!"
Erlang shook his head: "I will be a scholar from now on, and I won't eat things only children eat."
Xu Yin held back her laughter and said, "I will formally worship my husband tomorrow, how about one?"
“Okay then! I want the biggest one!”
…”
You are a scholar, but you change your mind so quickly!
Erlang was about to go to boarding school. In addition to quilts, clothes, and spare medicinal materials, Xu Yin also made him some long-lasting meals: a can of fried wild mushroom meat sauce, a can of dried radish with spicy oil, and a pot of salty stew. Dried meat and bamboo shoots.
“Sister-in-law Qianming will pickle some salted duck eggs for you. They will also be delicious with rice.”
“Sister-in-law, I took everything away. What will you and Sanmei eat?”
“There are still some at home.”
“There are only so many of them I saw yesterday, are there any left?”
…”Your eyes don’t have to be so sharp.
“Go try on your new autumn clothes and see if there is anything you need to change.”
It can be considered that he was fooled.
The next day, Xu Yin pushed a cart and sent Erlang to the scholar's house.
When the scholar saw her, he burst into tears of gratitude: "My wife drank the medicine given by my brother and she is much better. She is also energetic. She drank two bowls of rice porridge this morning."
Xu Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Even if he is not sick, drinking Xiaobuihu Granules will be fine, but if he is not symptomatic, it will delay him from seeking medical treatment.
Symptomatic explanation: Postpartum wind is a severe cold, and Xiaobupleurum can cure it well.
She gave the small Bupleurum she brought to Xiucai and asked him to continue frying it for his wife twice a day. In addition, some common medicines were also given. For common colds and colds, they can be decoctioned and drunk immediately for quick effect.
The scholar bowed deeply to her: "Thank you, brother!"
“You’re welcome, Erlang will trouble you from now on!”
The scholar nodded and accepted Erlang as his student.
From then on, the Li family had an additional scholar. Whether he could escape from farming and enter an official family had to rely on his own efforts.
That's all Xu Yin can do.
The family suddenly felt a lot more deserted now that there was one less chatty person in the house who loved to listen to gossip and then go home.
Not long after returning home, I heard the "ding" sound of energy points arriving in my account. At first I thought it was the scholar lady who was cured, but then there were several more "ding" sounds, and 1,100 energy points were received in succession, which meant that the scholar was cured. Okay eleven people.
Xu Yin was confused, what's going on?
