Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 8159 Back to Mother's Home
In the east room, the eldest brother of the Zheng family was lying on the bed with a quilt on his lap, holding his niece in his arms and looking at it carefully.

"That's right. This baby is well-raised. She is white and fat. She has pretty eyebrows and eyes, and she will definitely not be ugly when she grows up." The eldest brother of the Zheng family said, the baby's eyebrows and eyes are full of the shadow of his brother-in-law Jiang Xianjun, and his sister is really a gift. Goods.

Standing aside, Jiang Xianjun followed suit, and when his uncle praised his daughter for her good looks, the corners of his eyes and brows filled with pride.

The things that my uncle kicked and beat him before were nothing in an instant.

But Zheng Xiaoqin got up and came to the end of the bed, gently lifted the quilt, and carefully looked at the elder brother's feet.

When Zheng Xiaoqin saw the red and swollen foot that was two or three times bigger than the other normal foot, Zheng Xiaoqin's nose was sour and tears almost fell down.

"Brother, why did you do this? Doesn't it hurt?" Zheng Xiaoqin wanted to touch it, but didn't dare.

Brother Zheng saw the girl's red eyes, he couldn't pretend to worry and care, brother Zheng felt a warm current in his heart, shook his head and said indifferently: "It's okay, I can't die, just hurt it if it hurts." !"

"Brother, what are you talking about!"

Zheng Xiaoqin frowned lightly, her eldest brother's fingernails turned purple, and it was obvious that there was a pile of blood bruised inside.

"Xiaoqin, you are here to chat with elder brother, and I will go out to help father-in-law and mother-in-law find Piggy."

Jiang Xianjun said this to Zheng Xiaoqin, then turned around and strode out of the room.

Brother Zheng wanted to stop him, but Zheng Xiaoqin stopped him, "Brother, just let him go, and he can find it faster if you help him."

Zheng Xiaoqin, a piggy from her natal family, heard that it was on credit from her father and an acquaintance a while ago, and the twenty-jin piggy cost nearly six hundred Wen!
No problem, since the floods in the first half of the year, prices in all aspects have risen. I don’t know how many poultry and livestock have drowned in ten miles and eight villages. Piggy at thirty cents a catty is still reserved for you for the sake of acquaintances. He paid three hundred Wen, and promised to pay back the remaining three hundred Wen when the wheat was harvested next spring.

After three months of hard work, Piggy has grown up a lot. If he gets lost or has an accident, it will be a big loss.

"Brother, what did the doctor say? Did you prescribe medicine?"

Zheng Xiaoqin sat back and asked again.

The eldest brother of the Zheng family smiled, "The doctor told me to take care of it first. Don't go to work in the fields during this time. As for the medicine...prescribed two packs of notoginseng powder, let the feet soak for half an hour before going to bed every day, and wait for the blood to disperse." Just open it."

Panax notoginseng powder is cheap, and you can buy two packs for [-] Wen, which is enough to soak for many days.

The doctor also prescribed other medicines to strengthen muscles and bones, but he didn’t take them. A pack cost dozens of cash. The family’s current living income was less than [-] cash, and they had to save it for the children’s clothes during the Chinese New Year. New Year's goods too!
"It's impossible not to take medicine, the recovery is slow." Zheng Xiaoqin said again.

The eldest brother of the Zheng family smiled indifferently, "Slow down, it's winter anyway, and there's not much work in the fields."

If it catches up with the busy spring farming, it will be really urgent. This is a blessing in misfortune.

Zheng Xiaoqin thought of something, took out an oiled paper bag from her arms and put it next to Zheng's elder brother's pillow.

"Brother, I brought you something, saying it is good for your situation, I will ask mother and sister-in-law to cook soup for you later."

"What is that?"

The eldest brother of the Zheng family glanced at the oil paper package and asked.

Zheng Xiaoqin said a little embarrassedly: "What's it called... What's the bone, I remembered it before, but suddenly I forgot it."

bone?

The eldest brother of the Zheng family put the child in the bed and let her lie down to sleep, then picked up the oiled paper bag and opened it to have a look.

"Ah, this is... a roe bone?"

Seeing the astonished look of the eldest brother of the Zheng family, Zheng Xiaoqin suddenly said, "Yes, yes, yes, it is the deer bone, it is said to be the bone of the deer."

The eldest brother of the Zheng family raised his head and looked at Zheng Xiaoqin in shock: "Sister, how did you get this thing?"

Zheng Xiaoqin: "Brother, what's the matter with this thing? Do you recognize it?"

The eldest brother of the Zheng family was surprised and delighted, and even laughed excitedly: "This is the roe bone, the bone of the roe roe, it is the best medicine for my situation, it can cure and mend, the doctor has half of it, old man The black-hearted ghost wants to sell it to me for a tael of silver, but I can't afford it, your roe-bones are fine, and your size is much better than that of the black-hearted doctor!"

"Ah? Really?" Zheng Xiaoqin also became agitated, so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

"That's good, that's good, I'll let my mother cook soup for you later."

The eldest brother of the Zheng family was even more excited. He squeezed the roe bone in his hand. There are better medicines. Who wouldn't want them?Who wouldn't want to get back on the ground faster?
"By the way, sister, where did you get the roe bone?"

This thing is very difficult to do, and you have to be particular about hunting roe deer in the mountains. Ordinary roe deer are not good enough, and the year and male and female are scored.

Go to the pharmacy to buy them. These two roe bones are of good quality and size, and there is no two taels of silver to put them together. Don't even think about it!
That's two taels of silver!

"Brother, we didn't make this thing ourselves, it was a gift from someone else." Zheng Xiaoqin said.

"Given by someone else? Who is that? Such a big deal? Do I know it?" Zheng's eldest brother asked with his body tensed.

Zheng Xiaoqin didn't want to tell about the fact that she was the daughter-in-law of the two children of the Luo family now, and she also told Mother Zheng not to tell these things to her natal family.

So she just smiled, "It's Xianjun's father's friendship."

When Sister Qing'er brought the roe bone to her, she said that there was nothing unusual about it, and that it happened to be the medicinal material that worked, so she took it with her.

I didn't expect this roe bone to be such a good thing!

Miss Qinger is really...

The eldest brother of the Zheng family wanted to inquire again, but at this moment there were chaotic footsteps and voices outside, it was Father Zheng, Mother Zheng and Jiang Xianjun who had returned.

"Brother, let me take a look."

Zheng Xiaoqin took this opportunity to get up and run out of the east room.

It happened that Zheng's mother and the others entered the main room, and when they heard that their daughter and granddaughter had come, Zheng's father and Zheng's mother washed their hands casually and came to the east room.

Mother Zheng stopped when she passed by the two daughters-in-law, and told them: "What are you still doing? Why don't you cook lunch?"

The sister-in-law pretended not to hear.

The second sister-in-law said to her mother-in-law with a smile on her face: "Mom, I just had breakfast for a while, so I don't worry about cooking it later..."

Zheng's mother stared at the two daughters-in-law. Zheng's mother knew exactly what they were thinking. They didn't want to entertain Xiaoqin and his wife and children!
Zheng's mother was about to have a seizure, Zheng Xiaoqin rushed over and held Zheng's mother's arm, "Mother, we also came here after breakfast, and we are not hungry at all. Besides, Xianjun and I just came to see my elder brother, sit down Go back in a while, don't stay for dinner."

When Zheng Xiaoqin said that she would not stay for dinner, the two sisters-in-law next to her were obviously relieved.

Father Zheng, who had been silent all this time, frowned and said at this moment: "It's all here, and I don't want to leave before eating, what does it look like?"
