Chapter 80
Not to mention the bamboo rats, they are well fed and grow fast. The number has doubled to more than 40, and the number of caves has also increased to 7. All of them are plump and have shiny fur.

There are no less than [-] cloves that can be sold, but the cloves are not ready to be sold, even though it is the time when the harvest is scarce and the grain is the most expensive.

Send Datou and Ertou to Changzhuang and invite Yuegui and Chang Dacheng back. Knowing that there is work at home, Yuegui happily follows.

Ding Xiang said: "It's time to pick the honeysuckle at home. It's not interesting for you two to be at home. Come to our house to work for a few days, and I will give you wages."

Yuegui and Chang Dacheng wanted to decline, but Ding Xiang waved her hand and said: "There will be a lot of work at home in the future, so I can't just order you for nothing. The family was not doing well before, and you took care of it a lot. Now our family can help you." It’s time to take care of me when I’m home.”

After saying this, Yuegui and Chang Dacheng were a little embarrassed.

It's easy to say, Chang Dacheng spent two bags of grain to buy a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl a while ago, preparing to be a child bride-in-law and raising her up, which also means preparing to have a son.

There is one more person in the Chang family to eat, there is no output in the field, and the food in the family is estimated to be almost enough. There are still two or three months before the wheat harvest, and a family of five or six adults can eat a lot.Now it's not Ding Xiang's family who is helping, and the family will soon break down.

So, hearing what Ding Xiang said, the two felt a little embarrassed.

It is not a good thing for Chang's family to add people to import. Yue Gui knew that Ding Xiang insisted on not letting Chang Dacheng take a concubine, but she couldn't listen to her. Now that she wants to help her family, can you not be ashamed?
Needless to say, Chang Dacheng bought a small one for his family, just to add trouble to Yue Gui, and there was nothing the Ding family could do if they reluctantly agreed. In fact, they must not be very happy.

Don't look at Ding Laozhong's willingness to agree, but in fact he no longer has a good face towards Chang Dacheng.But Yuegui couldn't give birth, so she just tried not to lose her temper with Chang Dacheng.

Ding Xiangniang looked helpless and distressed, the big head and the second head didn't quite understand what was going on inside, and she treated Chang Dacheng as before, calling him "Brother Dacheng" affectionately.

When everyone was present, they began to work.The whole family has never done such a high-tech job as picking honeysuckle, and they all have to be taught by Lilac.

On the first day, we worked very slowly, but soon we got started. On the second day, we picked one-third more than the first day.

One mu of land may not seem like a lot, but everyone has precious things in their hands, so everyone is very careful, lest they pull off the branches, because there is still a crop to grow in summer, so several people cherish it very much, for fear of damaging the roots.

It took a whole week of five or six members of the family to pick the honeysuckle in this field and dry it well.

Ding Xiang gave Yuegui and Chang Dacheng [-] coins, and sent them back to Changzhuang. Before leaving, she didn't bring any food. You must know that food is more expensive than money now!

After a few days, seeing that the honeysuckle was almost dried in the shade, and Lilac treated other medicinal materials, he planned to go to the city with Ding Laozhong.

I haven't been there for a long time, and I don't know what's going on in the city. I heard that many people died of starvation.The price of medicinal materials may have to be reduced. If you think about it, if there is no food to eat, who would be willing to pay for medical treatment?

The father and son were reluctant to take the car anymore. Ding Laozhong carried a bag of medicinal materials and Lilac carried a basket full of them. They arrived in Qingcheng in less than half the morning and went directly to Dejitang.
