The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 98
After drinking the medicine, Zhao Xiaotao’s complexion improved, but she was still pale. Doctor Huang looked at Zhao Dashan with a serious tone, “Although your sister has recovered her life, this time…I’m afraid she can’t get through it, prepare Funeral.”
Zhao Dashan immediately burst into tears, Liu Lanhua patted his back to comfort him, “Don’t blame you.”
Doctor Huang retreated to the side of the medicine cabinet, and Zhou Chengkang felt embarrassed by guarding them, and stood aside with him.
With another pair of medicines, Zhou Chengkang took a few people back and directly sent Zhao Dashan back to his home.
“This quilt…” People moved in, and Liu Lanhua was a little apologetic holding the quilt before she fell to the ground. “Sister, I will return it to you after I wash it.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Qinghe took the quilt home by himself.
If Zhao Xiaotao really can’t make it through, Liu Lanhua will be busy next.
The next morning, the genius was brightened and the door was knocked again. She was still as impatient as yesterday. Zhou Chengkang got up to open the door. It was Liu Lanhua. She cried, “Brother-in-law, please take us to town again…”
It was too late to come back last night, and the carriage didn’t solve it at all. When he arrived at Zhao’s house, Zhou Chengkang couldn’t go in to help. Li Qinghe followed Liu Lanhua and saw the girl with thin cheeks in the room at a glance. At this moment, her face was still a little blush, smiling slightly, she was talking in a low voice, watching When the two of them entered the door, the corners of her mouth became deeper, “Brother, you married a good sister-in-law. Later… I am relieved to have her with you…”
“Sister-in-law…you have to be good!” Liu Lanhua nodded hurriedly, “you have to be good too.”
She smiled weakly, her eyes fell on Li Qinghe, “You are a good person, I often… listen to my brother and sister-in-law talking about you… Thank you for your quilt… very soft… very warm…” She looked at the window. “In fact, it’s good. I always feel heavy and my breathing hurts. I don’t want to… live, torturing my brother, and torturing myself.”
Under the candlelight, her eyes became brighter, “Father…”
Then her head tilted slightly, the smile on the corners of her lips had not fallen, her eyes slowly closed.
She is no longer there, and Zhao Dashan’s sorrowful cry sounded in the room instantly. He was lying on the bed and holding his sister’s hand, his voice was low and sad.
Zhao Xiaotao is gone. The people in the village didn’t think much of the funeral of young people, so the funeral was not as lively as other homes.
Li Qinghe has been staying there to help, but she feels that the girl is a pity. She has been ill for so long and in pain for so long, but she has not developed a temperament that resents the world and is very optimistic. She also knows to thank her. Up. If she is good, she must be a good girl.
It can be seen that Zhao Dashan and his sister have a deep relationship. After the funeral, he still fell ill.
In the blink of an eye, it was raining one after another in mid-October. In late autumn, as long as it rains, it feels like winter. The cold wind is blowing outside, and work is impossible.
If you can’t work, you are ready to spend the winter.
In the newly opened land, Li Qinghe didn’t plan to grow wheat. The wasteland had been confiscated. With bad luck, he couldn’t even get the seeds back, so it would be good to plant sweet potatoes.
In the winter, when she was free, she ran to ask Doctor Huang about planting medicinal materials in the forest.
If feasible, she plans to try to plant some after spring plowing in the new year. Doctor Huang actually only grows some medicinal materials, and only knows the habits of some medicinal materials, such as where they grow.
Li Qinghe himself probably knows a few very common ones. To be honest, it means everything starts from the beginning.
Now it is getting colder and colder, and I can’t rush.
The two killed the pig again. Many people from the village came to buy meat, and they even killed a pig for pickling.
Later in the twelfth lunar month, they started fishing and selling fish again. It is worth mentioning that Liu Yuan didn’t mean to share with them, and he said hello when he passed by. The Yang family stopped talking at all.
During the New Year period, there are a lot of people buying fish in town. Especially last year, the price of fish was too high and many people did not buy it. This year the fish price is right, and most people will pick one or two.
Zhou’s mother had been living here. On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the fish of Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe were a little small and they were sold. When they returned home, it was already dark.
Xiyu was already asleep, Zhou’s mother lit the brazier and warmed the food, “Tomorrow, I’ll go home for the New Year.”
“Good.” Li Qinghe responded.
The two began to eat, Zhou Mother looked at them, “I’ll do less in the future, don’t be tired, Xiyu is still young.”
Xiyu has Zhou’s mother carrying her to walk every day, and she also teaches him to talk. He would already leave in October. Now two months later, he walks more and more safely, and occasionally looks for things. She would also call parents and milk, Zhou Mu took it, and she was very happy all day long.
Zhou Chengkang responded.
He listened to her again, “When you are young, you have to give birth to more children, and you have to say yourself. When you grow up, you will have no brothers or sisters, and you will be alone!
Nagging, she didn’t know what she said.
On New Year’s Eve, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe went back early in the morning. The kitchen was in use by Zhang Haiyao, but there was no need to clean it. Although Zhou’s mother’s main house was not living here, she often brought Xiyu back to see her. After Yuhui was gone, she was still able to clean it herself, so in fact, she only came back to clean it two days ago, as if someone had been living all the time.
Boss Zhou and the two rushed back in the afternoon. It is worth mentioning that the two came back in a carriage. The brand-new carriage, including the rope, was new.
When he led the horse into the yard, he smiled and said, “I said I don’t need to buy it, but Meihua said it’s more convenient to have a horse. If you walk with Xili in this kind of weather, you might catch a cold. I think so. Can’t suffer the child…”
“Isn’t it just a carriage?” Zhang Haiyao said, “If the eldest brother buys the kind wrapped in silk and satin in the county town, the wood of the carriage is mahogany, that would be good. It is said that it is covered with a mattress, which is more comfortable than a bed. It’s not bumpy, so it’s not a bitter child.”
The tone is mocking.
Boss Zhou couldn’t bear this tone, and he replied, “We have little knowledge and have never been to the county seat. Even if this is the best, my younger siblings can go to the county seat, but unfortunately…” .
The Zhang family refused to accept Zhang Haiyao back to live with her family. This was a knot in her heart, and she couldn’t mention it at all. At this time, when she heard him mention it, she was angry on her face and wanted to say it again. Last week, the third child pulled her off. , Motioned her to look at Zhou’s mother who was already looking upset at the kitchen door, and immediately stopped talking.
She didn’t speak, Mother Zhou glared at her and said, “Haiyao, come and help quickly.”
Zhang Haiyao responded crisply, “Mother, don’t move, just let me come, and the younger brothers and sisters will come.”
Not mentioning Mei’s outside the courtyard alone.
Mei let the children go to play, went into the kitchen by herself, silently helping, no one talked to her, mainly because she yelled Zhou Mu after entering the door and ignored others.
It stands to reason that Zhang Haiyao choked a few words outside, but Li Qinghe didn’t. When she walked in, Li Qinghe still called her, so just let it go.
This year, it is destined to have a bad time.
At a later time, Li Qingmiao and the two came back with their children. There were a lot of people in the room, and the atmosphere was not as rigid as before. Then they talked about the nonsense in the town.
First, Li Qingmiao, she said that the cousin next door wanted to send the child, and wanted to make Hu Yanxi a little bit cheaper for repairs. He charged one or two silver a year. The whole family might not be able to earn one or two silver a year. , Not including pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
“My eldest brother said that after two years of reading, he can read words, and then go to the town to be a shopkeeper. Kao Xiucai didn’t even dare to think, is that reading? That is to pile up money, and he also teased that he waited for his son to read it out. He has also collected a lifetime food tax.”
“That’s not right,” Li Qinghe laughed. “Then if a talented person is admitted, the children underneath will be spared from repairing. If there are more births, it would be more cost-effective.”
This is just a joke.
Everyone in the room including Zhou Mu couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yes!” After Li Qingmiao was stunned, he took it seriously, “I have to go back and persuade him.”
Although the atmosphere was not good at first, it slowed down anyway. The house on Mei’s side was cleaned up, and he didn’t say if he wanted to go back today, and finally stayed in.
The next morning, Li Qinghe and Li Qinghe took them back to Li’s house early in the morning, and now they don’t need Li Qinghe to work when they go back. The tea, water and snacks, including meals, are all ready and served.
This year, the Li family’s two daughters came back, and Liu Lanhua also went home.
The couple were diligent, even in the first year of the middle school, they ran to the yard to clean, and helped Li Fu to replace a bad hoe. During the meal, Zhao Dashan held up a glass of wine to Zhou Chengkang and said, ” Our house has no land. After the New Year, I will help my brother-in-law. Don’t dislike it.”
After the New Year, I would definitely invite someone, and that was nothing in itself. Li Qinghe responded with a smile and thanked him again. Compared to the Zhou family’s embarrassing atmosphere, the Li family was much better.
In the afternoon, the two were about to go home. When they passed Zhou’s house, they heard a dispute inside.
“My mother has lived in the village for most of her life. If you have to take someone to the town and be filial and filial, she must be pleased?” This was Zhang Haiyao’s voice.
The Zhou family quarreled, and the two definitely couldn’t pretend to be inaudible and leave directly, so they entered the door. Before opening the door, they saw the five sisters and the wives who were far away walking slowly. The five sisters were heavy, and Zhao Liyuan supported them. Very cautious.
