Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Although before Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang arrived, Xu Yuanming and Yang Huamei were worriedly discussing countermeasures for a series of issues such as the family's livelihood, expenses, children, and shops, when the guests came to their house, the couple tacitly put away their previous emotions, cheered up, and showed their enthusiasm to entertain their niece and her husband.

"Qing'er, your uncle went back to the village yesterday to attend your fourth uncle's housewarming wedding. He came back and told me that your Luo family has a new granddaughter. I'm so happy for you. It's another generation now. It's great... so great!"

"Yes, auntie, we are so happy, but it's a pity that Yangzhou is too far away. We can't get there in time to see the children."

"Qing'er, don't worry. Wait until the child is older, then bring him back and let him live with you for a while. It's not a difficult thing."

"Aunt is right. Are the three little cousins ​​asleep?"

"He's asleep. Do you want to go take a look?"

"Okay, okay, let's keep our voices down so as not to wake them up."

Xu Yuanming was left to accompany Luo Fengtang in the main room to talk and drink tea, while Yang Ruoqing followed Yang Huamei to the next room.

The three children lay side by side in the bed, all asleep.

Now it is March, the weather is getting warmer, and the children have already unpacked their bundles and are sleeping in their spring clothes.

The two little brothers are blue, and the little sister is red. The three children are lying side by side. The two brothers are obviously much bigger than the sisters. They don’t look like triplets who were separated by only a bowl of tea.

"Sanjin is much smaller than her two brothers. What's wrong with this child's appetite?" Yang Ruoqing asked Yang Huamei in a low voice.

Yang Huamei nodded: "Sanjin doesn't eat much. He would vomit milk if he ate a little more. He finally gained some weight a while ago, but he had a stomachache recently and lost weight again."

"I also heard about the child's stomach upset," Yang Ruoqing said, "So should he take medicine or apply a plaster now?"

Yang Huamei said: "I went to the Yihechun Clinic in town to see Doctor Wang. He prescribed medicine and plasters, and sometimes also required moxibustion." "Moxibustion for such a young child would be very painful," said Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Huamei's eyes were filled with heartache, but she had no choice but to shake her head gently: "Why not? There is nothing we can do. The child has already defecated."

"Doctor Wang? I haven't heard of him. He might be new to the town clinic!" Yang Ruoqing said, "When our Zhier and Baobao had diarrhea when they were young, we asked a doctor named Chen to see them. Doctor Chen prescribed a medicine called Baohe Decoction. Although it tastes a bit pungent, the effect was immediate after the children took it."

"Really? Qing'er? Where is Doctor Chen? Please help me introduce him to a doctor. My family has been suffering from diarrhea for many days..."

"Dr. Chen is probably old and has long since retired from the clinic. However, I bought the recipe for Baohe Decoction."

"Later, when Tuantuan and Yuanyuan had diarrhea, I gave them medicine according to that prescription."

"That's great. Give me the prescription and I'll ask your uncle to prescribe the medicine according to it."

"Aunt, don't just prescribe medicine on your own. Ask Brother Wangsheng to help check on the children so that he can determine the dosage."

"Okay, then I'll ask your uncle to go to the village to invite Wangsheng!"

"Sure, Brother Wangsheng should have the ingredients for Baohe Decoction at home. The price is definitely cheaper than the town's clinic, and the child won't have to suffer. It'll just take a little more effort to feed him the medicine."

"Yes, yes, yes, if that's the case, then that's great! When you go back to the village this afternoon, help me tell Wangsheng, and I'll ask your uncle to pick him up tomorrow."

"it is good."

"By the way, auntie, where are my grandmas?"

When asked this, Yang Huamei's eyes turned slightly, and she quickly suppressed her guilty conscience and pretended to be calm and said, "I went to the street to buy things. I should be back soon." "Qing'er, don't leave at noon. Eat here with Tang Yazi. I'll ask your uncle to buy some vegetables!"

As Yang Huamei spoke, she went to the next room.

Just as he was about to give instructions to Xu Yuanming, he saw Xu Yuanming trying to persuade Luo Fengtang to stay for lunch, but Luo Fengtang had already stood up and was ready to leave.

Seeing Yang Huamei coming over, Xu Yuanming quickly said to her, "Mei'er, you've come just in time. Hurry up and persuade them to stay and have lunch before returning. Look at these. These are the things they brought for our children!"

Only then did Yang Huamei notice that there were many gifts on the stool beside the table, all of which were children's clothes, shoes, socks and toys.

"Oh, Qing'er, Tang'er, why are you spending so much money..."

"Aunt, these are ready-made clothes bought from the cloth shop in the county. When I was preparing them for my little granddaughter, I saw that they were very pleasing, so I bought two sets for your children as well. They are fun to wear!"

"It's too expensive..."

"It's okay, you have to accept them. If you return these small clothes, shoes and hats to me, I won't be able to wear them, haha!"

Although Yang Huamei and Xu Yuanming tried their best to keep them, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang still resolutely declined the invitation for lunch. They drank a bowl of tea and returned to the village without even meeting the Tan family.

Xu Yuanming watched Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang leave at the gate of the yard. When he returned to the house, he found Yang Huamei sorting the two bundles that Yang Ruoqing had brought.

Suddenly, something fell out from one of the bundles.

When Yang Huamei picked it up, she found that it was actually an ingot of silver wrapped with red silk thread, which represented a red envelope.

Yang Huamei was stunned. She stood up with the silver and was about to go out to chase Yang Ruoqing and the others. She almost bumped into Xu Yuanming at the door.

"Old Xu, look, this is what Qing'er and the others hid in their clothes!"

When Xu Yuanming saw it, his eyes twitched violently.

"That's five taels of silver. Qing'er and the others are spending... a lot of money!"

"Old Xu, we can't take this money."

"Yes, no, I'll go after him!" Xu Yuanming took the silver and was about to leave. At this time, Yang Huamei's voice came from behind him: "Old Xu, wait a minute!"

"What's wrong, Mei'er?" Xu Yuanming stopped abruptly, turned around, his face full of surprise.

"Old Xu, I've thought about it. Let's take this money."

"Ah? Why? This is too much money. We can't keep accepting Qing'er and the others' care like this..."

"Old Xu, listen to me," Yang Huamei walked up to him, grabbed him and dragged him into the house.

After all, he was holding this silver ingot in his hand. If other people living in this compound saw it and had other ideas, it would not be good.

"Old Xu, this is Qing'er and Tang'er's love for our child. Since they have hidden it in this clothing, even if they are determined to support us, it would not be good for us to return it to them."

"Besides, we are in a difficult time right now. With this money, we can just tide over the difficulties. After we overcome the difficulties, it won't be too late to repay them in the future!" (End of this chapter)
