From Cultivator to Widow - Chapter 88
Su Hui went to the city before going to the provincial capital.
Seeing her coming, Xiao Gu seemed a little surprised: “You came just right, I was worried about how to contact you before, there is something good!”
It was a coincidence that he met someone by chance, and he told him a piece of news that a car came from the north and brought some “specialties” from the north.
There are ginseng deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, gentian, rhubarb and so on.
The other party stopped here for a day. Xiao Gu was raising money and calculating how much he could get. Now that Su Hui is here, she can buy as much as she wants.
He doesn’t need to buy so many, just buy some to prepare, these prices are not cheap, he can’t eat much.
When Su An knew, she couldn’t help but sigh, it was really early, it might as well be a coincidence.
People are doing business, there is no specific customer, you can go when you get the news, first come first served.
They are not afraid of someone doing bad things. They are four brothers together. They are all tall and muscular. Just look at them and know that they are not easy to mess with.
And their car is parked outside, if something goes wrong, they can drive away.
Su An is interested in these things, especially for the herbs that they don’t have here. Ginseng is a bit tasteless to her. She can grow it herself. The quality is not good, and the age is not a big problem, because she can rub it. Pills, but you can buy a spare or two, you don’t have to buy too good, just medium.
Other medicinal materials, especially those with seeds, can be planted, that is the focus of her attention.
The four of them don’t seem to be easy to mess with, but when they actually touch them, they can find the evil spirits in them. These are people who have seen blood.
Su Hui did not delve into it, and when they met by chance, why bother with too much.
The other party also means this, no matter who comes, as long as it is An An Shengsheng’s transaction, they don’t care about anything, and they will not come to this place in the future.
The owner of the villain book stall didn’t have anything new, so she only bought a few villain books and newspapers, and the uncle of the recycling station got a few more paintings and calligraphy.
Su Hui went to the provincial capital, instead of going directly to the Shen’s house, she went for two laps first.
Now those small alleys don’t have the red armbands that often appeared last time, so they are more popular. As soon as she took out something, someone came to ask, and the transaction was in a hurry. The vigilance of the people here is the highest. There are footsteps approaching and immediately abandon the transaction.
It doesn’t matter if some things are not picked up.
The control here is evident.
Afterwards, Su An went around the Shen’s house for two laps, spent money to buy some news, and found nothing wrong, so she knocked on the door.
There are two grandfathers in the Shen family, only grandfather is there.
“Master Shen, long time no see, stay safe.”
It’s been a long time since two months? soon.
However, Shen Chen clearly understood that if he counted the days day by day, it was indeed a long time.
He asked her to sit down, then looked outside, closed the door, didn’t close it, just kept it open.
Su An could sense that there was a line of sight that had been watching her since she arrived.
Now that the door is closed, look at her through the crack too.
This is why Mr. Shen doesn’t worry about her.
Su An smiled slightly: “Master Shen, what do you think about what I said last time?” Su An did not go around in circles and went straight to the topic.
Shen Chenwei: “You can call me comrade, the old man dare not be.”
Sir, this is a long-lost name.
“Okay, Comrade Shen.” Su An was kind.
Shen Chenwei: “What did you bring?”
This is the way to do it, Su An put down the basket: “I brought some things here, you can take a look first, by the way, how did you take those medicines last time?”
Shen Chenwei’s eyes dimmed slightly, the last medicine was of course good, and he felt the effect the night he took it.
After taking it for three days, his cough was cured, and after taking the medicine for conditioning his body, his physical weakness was also much better, and he was no longer short of breath.
His body is better than his son’s, but it’s not much better. He has always been pampered, and he was raised with good medicine and medicine before.
He didn’t take the other things that Su Hui brought with him seriously, the medicine was the main reason for their transaction.
He nodded: “Comrade’s medicine is very effective. After I finished taking the medicine, the cough stopped. After taking the medicine for conditioning my body, I also felt a lot more relaxed.”
Su An showed a “simple and honest” smile: “That’s good, I still have pills here, I have other pills here, it depends on Comrade Shen’s needs.” Su An said, and lifted the lid.
Compared to the last time, this time is a bit richer.
Five catties of rice, five catties of wheat flour, five catties of sugar, honey, canned fruit, smoked chicken, smoked ham, bacon and sausage, as well as milk powder and malted milk essence.
There is also a stack of tickets, ranging from food and oil tickets to industrial rolls.
She took out a small box from the bottom, opened it, and there were six smaller bottles.
“These three bottles were given to you last time. They can be used to condition your body. This bottle is for coughs, this bottle is for colds, and this bottle is for bruises.”
“By the way, there is also ginseng and deer antler, do you want it?”
Shen Chen smiled slightly: “Ginseng antler? Comrade, are you not afraid that I won’t be able to come up with something equivalent?”
Su An closed the lid: “It doesn’t matter, I’m showing my strength. If I can’t show it now, I can show it next time. We can wait for the next opportunity and not be in a hurry.”
Shen Chen was silent for a while: “You’re right, but you don’t have to wait until the next time. I don’t know what you want?”
“This time it’s my sincerity. I don’t know if you have any special needs. For these things, you can do anything but money.”
Without charging, he nodded: “Can you show me your ginseng and deer antler?”
“Of course, no problem.”
The age is not very high, but if he usually wants to buy it properly, it is difficult.
“Then I will accept it. I don’t know if there is a place where you can’t go with me?”
“Of course it’s convenient.”
For her, there is no inconvenience.
trap?
The possibility is very low, and it is very simple for her to escape in case of any eventuality.
These things were hidden by him separately. The rice and wheat flour were placed on the cabinet, and the rest were stuffed under the bed.
Shen Chenwei: “Wait a minute, you go out first, and after I go out, you follow me at a distance.”
Su An nodded, she left empty-handed, after a while, Shen Chen took a slight step, and he walked slowly out of the city.
He met some people on the road, and he greeted them one by one as usual, whether they were sarcastic or not, and some stopped to chat.
While walking slowly, Shen Chenwei thought about it, is he still following him?
I didn’t notice it at all, and no one found out that this skill is not something that ordinary people can do.
What the **** is he about?
It was their first deal, and he wanted to see what the man wanted.
He found a small box under a stone under a tree on a hill outside the city. The box was very old, it was wooden on the outside, but the inside was covered with iron sheets. When he opened it, he saw that there were more than half of the box of small yellow croakers. There are several pairs of jade wrench fingers and an ancient jade pendant that presses the corner of the skirt.
He stuffed the jade pendant into his arms. This jade pendant had the highest value. He took out half of the gold and planned to give the rest to Su An.
He had just finished it, and he didn’t know when, Su An appeared behind him.
Shen Chen was slightly startled.
When did he come?
He handed the box over.
Su An took it, opened it and said, “It’s more than what I gave you, what do you want?”
Shen Chenwei: “I don’t have anything I want right now.”
no?
Su An closed the lid: “Then what if I said, I have a way to cure your body? Conditioning your body can make you feel better, but you know that the symptoms are not the root cause.”
Shen Chen’s expression changed slightly: “Can my body be cured?”
Su An nodded: “Of course.”
His previous problem was the disease of wealth and wealth, and he was not a big problem when he raised food and drink, but he has suffered a lot in recent years, so his body has suffered some losses. .
He naturally wanted to live a few more years: “Are you a doctor?”
Su An: “That’s right.”
When Shen Chenwei didn’t know about it, Su Hui took another backpack from nowhere, and she couldn’t tell the difference from the one who stayed at his house before.
Is there a companion?
Shen Chenwei looked at the simple and honest young man in front of him and took out a porcelain bottle from the back basket.
I heard him say: “There is a pill in it, now you take one pill every day before going to bed, take it with warm water, after five days, take another pill every two days, and after five days, take one pill every five days. “
Then he took out another paper bag: “This is the medicinal powder for foot soaking. It is divided into small packets with paper. You take one packet and soak it for 20 minutes before going to bed every day, and it can help you fall asleep faster. Apart from these In addition, you have to ensure your diet, pay attention to rest, and keep your mood from fluctuating too much. After two months, we will meet, and I will give you the following medicine. After taking it, your disease will be cured.”
Looking at him with a convincing smile: “You don’t have to worry about me lying to you. After taking these medicines, you can feel the changes in your body.”
Shen Chen looked at the thing in his hand, took it slowly, and solemnly promised: “If my disease can really be cured, I will be grateful.” His body continues like this, and he will live in a few years. He had already thought about it, but he didn’t want to leave so early. His grandsons were all in their twenties and had yet to marry and have children. The son didn’t know the specific situation, and he couldn’t rest his eyes when he died.
“Okay, Comrade Shen is a cheerful person, then I’ll wait. By the way, let Comrade Shen tell me in advance that I like jade. No matter the style, the better the quality, the more I like it.”
“Oh, and I also have medicines here that have special effects on people who are born weak. If Comrade Shen needs it, you can book it with me in advance.”
After hearing this, Shen Chenwei’s pupils shrank slightly.
The only son he tried to send away was born weak.
Su An had already put down the bait and waited for the big fish to take the bait.
She believed that the old man of the Shen family, who was tied down, would give her a satisfactory answer.
Shen Chenwei took the things home, and on the way home, he had hidden the rest of the things elsewhere, and those things could not be brought home.
When Shen Chengfeng came back and saw the extra things in the house, he asked his grandfather: “Grandpa, these things? Is he here before?” An unknown person got it.
Better than any rice he had ever eaten before.
Shen Chenwei: “Yes, he’s here.”
Shen Chengfeng: “What did he bring? Is that all?”
These are what they need now, but if that’s all, I feel… a little disappointed.
Shen Chen shook his head slightly: “Some food, some medicine, he said he can cure my disease.”
Hearing this, Shen Chengfeng was excited: “Really, Grandpa, do you think he is credible? If it’s true, that would be great!” He has always been worried about Grandpa’s body.
Shen Chenwei also showed a smile: “He gave me some medicine, and he will bring me the rest in two months. He said that I will be fine after eating.”
Shen Chengfeng grinned, and then thought: “What does he want?”
There must be plans, but it can’t be to do good deeds without trying to reciprocate, right?
Shen Chen saw that he realized it, and nodded slightly: “He said he wants jade, no matter the style, just the texture.” Having a plan is better than having nothing, because it looks like nothing, but in fact the appetite is not. bigger than anyone else.
Shen Chengfeng: “Do we have it?”
When it comes to these things that are hidden at home, of course, the clearest person is Shen Chenwei, who was not very old at the time of the accident.
Shen Chenwei: “Yes, yes, but don’t rush, it’s troublesome to take it out, let’s see the effect first.”
“Yes.” If it doesn’t work, then you don’t have to take it. However, the medicine he gave before took effect quickly, and if it was in the hands of the same person, it was quite optimistic.
Shen Chengfeng didn’t have anything to give up, and he liked Meiyu, but compared with his grandfather’s body, the two were not on the same balance at all.
“Then grandpa, did he say anything about precautions, tell me, I’ll keep an eye on it…”
Looking at the grandson who was nagging unconsciously, Shen Chenwei’s eyes slowly filled with kindness, how could he just leave like this?
He also wanted to see his great-grandson come out.
If the effect is as he said, then let go of the secretly hidden things.
Although he planned to hide it before and wait for it to pass, he would give his grandson something to revive the family business, but now, if he can live a few more years, he doesn’t need to be so pessimistic.
…
It’s raining, it’s pouring.
It was still sunny before, but at this time, the sky is like the face of a child, laughing and crying at times, without regularity.
The sun was shining brightly just now, but in the blink of an eye, the sky darkened and the rain was about to fall.
It was only a few sporadically at the beginning, but suddenly it became very big, with a large crackle, and it was densely packed, and it was painful to hit people.
When she went back, she took a deer, a deer, and a tortoise that weighed more than three pounds. This was what she had harvested in the mountains today.
After all, he left on the pretext of going into the mountains.
Zhang Baoguo was very excited when he saw that his mother went into the mountain today and got the tens of kilograms of meat: “Mom, what should I do with this?”
“Mingzi and Zhangzi were killed, and the meat sauce was made, and the turtles were raised first.”
The meat sauce is also better, and this whole one is too conspicuous to trade.
“good!”
Most of the meat sauce will be “sent” out, but in addition to the meat, there are bones, and inevitably some will be kept for yourself.
It’s been a good time for a while.
“L-“
It was getting dark, and it was raining heavily here. Zhang Baoguo helped to clean up, and was fortunate. Fortunately, it was only raining now. If it rained in the mountains, it would be troublesome for my mother.
“Mom, since the weather is going to be down for a while now, don’t go into the mountains for now.” Safety is more important.
Su An nodded: “Okay, I won’t be going for a while.” She also gave time for the animals in the mountain to recuperate. This time she harvested too much.
They took care of it together and sealed it in the only uninhabited utility room they had.
It was covered with some sundries, and Su An also set up a formation. If you didn’t pay special attention to there, it would be easy to ignore that place and look at other things.
Zhang Weiguo and the others were very excited.
This isn’t the first time helping out.
Seeing that they were strict and never said anything about the situation at home, Su An also “revealed” more things like them.
If it really happened, and she cleaned up in time, and there was no evidence, then it was just a child’s “children’s words”.
It was a heavy rainstorm, and it lasted for several days. In other places, the rain was not as heavy as theirs, and there was no flood. They had a favorable geographical location. The water level of streams and ditches soared, flowed into the river, and rushed down. In particular, I told the children not to go close to the water, and looked very strict.
Because there is an “example” ahead.
At that time, Wenxueqing was able to talk smoothly because Zhang Weiguo was attracted by the fish in the stream. He went into the water in this weather, and then had an accident and was fished up by Wenxueqing.
Zhang Weiguo and his friends would be hard to say if it wasn’t for the literary trend.
Afterwards, Zhang Weiguo deeply attracted a lesson. They also saw his hard times at that time. There was a lesson from the past. Zhang Baoguo and the others would automatically stay three feet away from the water in this weather.
However, the water has flowed downstream, and there is no danger of flooding, which does not mean that there is no other situation in their village.
There are some houses in disrepair that have not been able to withstand the scouring of the rain. With the slanting wind and rain, the houses will break down faster. The mud-brick walls are made of mud anyway.
This kind of weather occurs every year, and those who live in old houses are afraid to sleep soundly. They are afraid that the house will collapse.
Every time this kind of weather occurs, but depending on the scope, some are just the chicken coop and pigsty at home, and some are the owner’s place.
The place where they lived in literature collapsed once.
This year, it was the turn of the educated youth. There were two rooms that collapsed, and one of them happened to be where the Zhou brothers lived.
Their age is the youngest, and the house they live in is also the oldest, because the person who arrived first has already arranged other rooms, and it is their turn to have no choice, because only there is empty, so they can only go live there.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time, with only some scratches and bruises, and most of the important belongings were recovered afterwards, but where are they going to live?
In this weather, there is no way to repair and rebuild immediately.
If other educated youths encounter this situation, they are helpless here, so they can only find other educated youths to squeeze in, but their brothers have sister and brother-in-law here, so they packed up their things and moved to with their sister.
This house is no longer available. Zhang Chengye went to see it and promised to rebuild it when the rain stopped. When that time comes, everyone will work together and it won’t take too much effort. It’s time.
Zhou Xiaoqing and Zhang Gui have two houses, both of which are blue-brick houses, and a small mud-brick house was built next to them, which was used for firewood, and there was no way to live in them.
As for the two rooms, one was built together by Zhang Gen before. He lived there. After he got married, he built a new room next to him, and opened the other door. Because the place was big enough, they were separated to form a hall. Two rooms and a small kitchen at the back.
If their brothers came to live, it would be fine. Now their family of three all live in one room, and the other room is unoccupied, even if there are a lot of things piled up, they can settle down when they come to settle.
But as soon as they came, Li Manfen went to check on the situation, showing that she cared about their injuries, and then she pointed out the key points: “You can’t do anything if you collapse, you’ll be fine, but what about your rations? Your sister and brother-in-law. There are not many rations.” The implication is obvious.
It’s okay to come and live for a while, but it’s not okay to eat here. The two big boys have a lot to eat.
Zhou Xiaodong had a smile on his face: “We brought food rations, and our brothers are diligent and will help with everything. Now that my sister is inconvenient, we can still help a lot.”
Li Manfen nodded in satisfaction.
It’s easy to say if it doesn’t take advantage of her family.
Zhou Xiaodong and Zhou Xiaolei are indeed very diligent, cleaning the house clean and not procrastinating on anything, Li Manfen looked at it and felt a little more satisfied with these two young men.
Looking at the appearance, it is still very good. Their sisters and brothers have nothing to say about their appearance. They are a bit taller than ordinary people. It is a pity that they can’t work.
At this time, Li Manfen was still in the mood to think about these things, and soon lost her mood.
Because the rain doesn’t stop, it’s like the sky is falling.
It’s been fine for a few days and nights. The crops in the field can’t stand it anymore. Once the grain production decreases, after handing over the public grain, they will definitely get less.
One by one, they put on their cloaks and hoes, and braved the heavy rain to supply water to the ditches and drain the fields.
When there is little rain, it is difficult for the farmers, and when there is much rain, it is also difficult for the farmers.
Su An and Zhang Baoguo also went there, and together they helped up the pole and lifted the fallen rice.
Don’t let it work too much. Zhang Chengye has arranged the number of times. It rains every day. It’s okay to be in the rain for a day or two. Too many people will easily get sick.
At this time, **** tea is especially popular.
It wards off cold.
Wash the whole piece without peeling it, just flatten it like this, put it in a pot and cook it, the **** water will choke, and many people drink it with their noses pinched.
Su An put some sugar in, and the bowl was warm, and she was sweating.
In the same way at Su Annie’s house next door, someone’s house collapsed at Chang Xiaohe’s house, and two people lived in their house.
Their family is not too large, and the house is strong, so it is not easy to refuse in this case.
It’s not easy for Su An to refuse, and she doesn’t want to refuse either.
Zhao Xialan is the only friend she talks about. Although she doesn’t have enough vision, she has enough heart, three views are right, people are a little gossip, but she never talks about people’s right and wrong outside, and she doesn’t like to take advantage of others. One for one, it will not force people to do anything, and it is very comfortable to get along with.
Her house was also in trouble.
Only one room collapsed.
But after opening a hole, how dare you continue to live under such heavy rain?
Zhao Xialan gave birth to three children, two sons and one daughter.
It is also fate. The eldest son is the same age as Zhang Baoguo, the second son is the same age as Zhang Weiguo, and the youngest daughter is the same age as the twins.
But compared to the friendship between the two of them, they and Zhang Baoguo would play together, but they didn’t play much, not a small circle.
In this situation, there is no way out. Zhao Xialan is married to the second son, and there is an eldest brother on top. The parents-in-law followed the eldest son, and they split up and built another house.
When the house was originally built, some mud bricks that were made before were used. It is estimated that there is a problem with these mud bricks.
Now I understand why, but there’s nothing I can do.
Zhang Dahai’s parents also had limited houses, and there was no room at all. The two sons squeezed a bed with their grandparents. Zhang Dahai used a stool to make do with his parents’ room for a while, and Zhao Xialan brought his little daughter to go to the most emotional place. Good fennel.
As soon as she said that, Su An nodded.
Zhao Xialan can sleep with three children, but that’s over. As for the four, Zhao Xialan doesn’t want to take advantage of others and trouble others, even if that person is Su Hui.
After Su An discussed it, she brought her little daughter to make do with it for a while, and went back there to eat everything, trying not to cause trouble to Su An.
Su An helped to pack things together, helped her family move things to her in-laws, and then went back to pack up the things at home.
There are some things in the utility room that are inconvenient for people to see, so the twins temporarily lived in the utility room. There are also beds there, and they can sleep when they are tidy up.
Su An also put away some things at home and told them about it: “You Aunt Zhao will still go back to her house to eat in the future, but it will inevitably bump into each other. During this time, our meals will also be made. Adjust, can you understand?”
