First, Xinglin Village is only an hour and a half's walk from Youhan Village. It would be faster if you have a bicycle.
Although he is in good health, he still has many sequelae from a serious illness because he is too old. For example, my hands and feet are not as agile as before, I can't lift heavy objects, and I can't squat for too long with my legs curled up.
It would be inconvenient to stay out of town in the middle of the night. He is old and has frequent urination, so he would not be as comfortable as staying at home.
Second, the Zuo family's current house is too small. Compared with the Zhu family's house, it is almost half the size and has a corner.
Even a while ago, the Zuo family bought the Zhang family's house in the east courtyard for wine making. Most of the houses were used as wine storage warehouses and wine making rooms. There was only one empty room with a small kang, and there were still six people in it. The kitchen where the big pot cooks pig food.
Now Li Er¡¯s family, brought back by Xiuhua, lives there.
Li¡¯s second daughter-in-law and her daughter got up early in the morning to cook pig food.
Once Mr. Zhu stays, it is conceivable that he will have to live in a room with Lefty or others. If he turns around and wakes up all night, he can easily affect others.
However, this time Zhu Xingde returned from injury, but the old man could not care about his usual worries. He could deal with any difficulty.
Mr. Zhu drove away Mr. Zhu and asked the driver to take away the Zhu family's aunt and the other two granddaughter-in-laws. Don't leave food here.
I didn¡¯t see the transport team coming back. Are you tired from feeding those big animals?
He repeatedly offered to leave him alone. He wanted to stay at Zuo's house for a few more days, and his eldest grandson could come and pick him up when he was free.
Of course the Zuo family welcomes it.
"Compared with Mrs. Luo, this old man has fewer things to do and is a nice person. Under normal circumstances, he is really kind and kind without saying anything. Also, Xiaodao gave birth to a daughter at the right time. The old man of the Zhu family could stay here for a few days, which would make outsiders think that this little great-granddaughter was very important.
Aunt Zhu's wife was so angry that she laughed. On the way back, she chatted with her eldest son: "Your father is really good. He doesn't even have a piece of clothes to wash. He has the water cup, medicine, spittoon, and a wheel that he can hold on to when walking long distances." I didn¡¯t bring a car with me, and I didn¡¯t make any preparations at all. I¡¯m going to live at Zuo¡¯s house. You haven¡¯t discussed it with us in advance. Just say it in front of your in-laws, you go home quickly and don¡¯t eat here. ."
Aunt Zhu¡¯s family was speechless when she thought of that scene.
"The talk made them lose face, as if they came to breastfeed just for food."
¡°Besides, the Zuo family will not be able to come to Taiwan.
She looked at Bai Magnolia and her face turned red. She grabbed her tightly and explained: "We have to eat too. We are all a family. What's the trouble in cooking? Just light a fire and make some noodles. Just noodles." .¡±
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhu Xingde and Yang Manshan are back, the old mother-in-law wants to make noodles for the uncles to eat, which means everything goes smoothly.
According to the past, Aunt Zhu¡¯s appointment will be in charge. Just saying that the eggs she brought with her were taken from the basket and she spent her own money, how could anyone miss the meal? Just give Zuo Xiaodao a few eggs from the basket and that's a meal.
But now she is slowly becoming less concerned about it.
Her three sons are all capable now. Even if they are not as good as her nephew, they are still famous among the young adults in these ten miles and eight villages. Her mind has become much broader.
Aunt Zhu continued: "What will your father use and wear when the time comes? Can he borrow Dezi's father-in-law's coat, and can he also borrow inner clothes? Look at that, I hope Dezi will come back when he recovers. .Those are really his eyes.¡±
Ms. Sun and Ms. Li were sitting in the back, feeling that their mother-in-law's tone was still sour.
Boss Zhu said honestly, "I'll come back tomorrow and bring you the ones I'm used to."
He would get up early and go back in time for lunch, without bothering the Zuo family to cook for him.
¡¡
At the same time, Mr. Zhu had a pair of red ears.
Who is talking about him behind his back? Why are his ears so hot?
But his eyes were fixed on his grandson¡¯s back.
When I saw the long wound that was so swollen that it turned over and extended from the shoulder blade to the back, I almost burst into tears.
Lefty also stared at Zhu Xingde's wound in a sullen voice, scolding: "Nonsense, the wound is so deep, if you go deeper, the bones will be exposed, and it has not been healed all the way, and it will turn white and pus, and you still say it's nothing serious." Son."
"If he hadn't listened to what Man Shan said, Zhu Xingde would have gotten home before Xiaodao was born. After being injured, he would have been tired and had repeated fevers all the way, and the wound would not have healed at all.
He is special??is not a problem.
"But the amount of refined salt was small and it was expensive. I didn't want to buy more at first. I needed to buy more.
His family has a large population, including Erzhuzi, Liuzi and Li Erjisan, as well as an old mother-in-law who is an eccentric, two granddaughters, and two pregnant women who are about to give birth, so it is better to save two for now. I plan to hold on to my money, but that would be too insecure in case I regret it in the future. It won't go bad anyway.
Mr. Zhu understands that his family also needs to spend some money to purchase supplies and store them.
This money cannot be saved.
He lived a long life and experienced many wars in his life.
Not to mention minor disturbances, there were also wars on the border in the first thirty years or so. At that time, the imperial court was only thinking about one idea, that is, the city could not be broken even if it was killed.
To achieve this goal, more troops are constantly being sent to the front line. Many people have never held weapons at all, so they don't care. They send people over first and start training directly on the battlefield.
??Continuously adding more people and food to the war zone until they insist on repelling the opponent.
This process of constant addition made the lives of the people at that time very difficult.
The common people couldn¡¯t do anything except to avoid starving to death in those years when taxes were constantly rising, conscription was high, and prices for a pound of salt were exorbitantly high.
Mr. Zhu believes that the conditions at home are much better now and he has spare money.
Taking advantage of the fact that my grandson knows about the unrest on the border in advance, we need to set more ambitious goals. We should not just hope to survive the war and starve to death during the two years of war, but we should try our best to prepare everything in advance and then eat full.
At that time, we will close the door of our own house and quietly think about how to eat three meals a day, so as to live a peaceful life.
Lefty brought the liquor, and Mr. Zhu and he dug out a piece of white cloth and dipped it in the liquor, and cleaned Zhu Xingde's wound for the second time.
While scrubbing, he hesitated and said, "Do you think you want to inform some others?"
He finally couldn't bear it.
"We are all ordinary people. We don't care about the outside world. Don't we need to remind people from eight villages within ten miles?"
The reason for hesitation is that he is worried about this reminder. Good guy, if he reminds me again, he will go to the town and county to buy things. Don't underestimate this power. Every family has several in-laws, who in turn pass it on to their in-laws. Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Don't affect prices any more.
?????????????????? Or, wait until they finish all the purchases and then notify you?
Zhu Xingde was lying on the kang. He was so sour after being wiped by the wine. He gritted his teeth in pain and said, "Dad, don't worry about it anymore. If some words spread from our house, it will cause unnecessary looting. The magistrate will know." It¡¯s time to complain. By this time, people outside who have a way out have actually known it for a long time. As for the village, there are so many people who follow me and Manshan to transport wine. There is no shortage of smart people in our eight villages. "
While they were talking, Yang Manshan came in with Blind Zhang.
Lefty stood up and said politely: "Before I left, thanks to Brother Zhang for bringing those pills and powders, otherwise the child would have suffered a lot if he had no place to see a doctor on the road. Speaking of which, the money for the medicines I brought with me this time has not been paid yet. Here. Could you please come in the evening? Firstly, I want you to take another look at my eldest son-in-law. I heard that he always has repeated fevers and treat the injured area. Secondly, I just want to give you the money for the old medicine. .¡±
"Blind Zhang's visit to the gynecology department was in vain. Not only was he unable to identify the male and female, but on the day Xiaodao was born, there was a midwife inside, and the outside wanted him to wait. Isn't this a double insurance? As a result, he said in full: "No, I have to go home. I can't hear the news of giving birth to a baby, and my heart is pounding."
But the gold sore medicine was a recipe passed down from his father, so it was pretty good.
Hearing this, Blind Zhang waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. His family only owes the Zuo family a favor, so why bother to demand payment? Besides, he doesn't want money: "It's a coincidence that when your second son-in-law picked me up, I was groping for it. Come here. I also want to ask your family for something. Can you use the medicine money to bring me some salt?"
Zhu Xingde was amused. Look, this is not a smart man.
The left-handed man asked Blind Man Zhang: "Just take the twenty taels of salt?"
Blind Zhang did not answer the left-handed man, but pulled Zhu Xingde and asked with a simple and honest look: "Son, can you help my uncle settle the accounts? Do you think it would be more cost-effective for my family to buy all the savings in grain and salt, or would it be more cost-effective? I have bought all the medicinal materials now, waiting to sell them when the price increases."
People are always in trouble outside when they are sick, but during this period, there will definitely be a shortage of medical treatment and medication. If there is a shortage, prices will rise. His eldest son-in-law is the smartest person he has ever seen, so it would be right to ask him.
Zhu Xingde looked at Blind Zhang: ""
Yang Manshan stood aside and couldn't help but laugh. It was rare to see the eldest brother-in-law being silenced by others: "Uncle, you'd better treat my brother-in-law first, he's naked."
