The herbal medicine of peasant doctors and women fills the garden

Chapter 40 Little Life Is Back
The weather is a little hot and humid, the yard is cooler, and it's a good night, so Father Zhang moved the dining table to the yard.

Xiao Haorong and Zhuo Qingwen helped take the bowls and serve the dishes. Only the old doctor Fang was drooling, and while no one was paying attention, he picked up a pig's trotter with his hand, lowered his head and gnawed it hard.

Yao Shanbao finished the meal, and instead of going out to eat together, he went back to the house and continued to cook the medicine.Now she is all focused on the big fool and has no appetite at all.

The medicine had been boiled for almost two hours, Yao Shanbao wrapped the rim of the medicine jar with a cloth, lifted the medicine jar aside, opened the lid, and a strong smell of medicine diffused out.The smell of the medicine was very hot and the smell was bad, she couldn't help coughing twice.

Aunt Zhang also came in, and seeing Yao Shanbao covering her mouth, she quickly said, "Go and rest, let me come..."

Yao Shanbao waved his hand and said, "Ma'am, I'm fine...it's just that I'm not used to the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine for the first time! I'll get used to it sooner or later, so I'll do it myself."

Aunt Zhang looked at Yao Shanbao and saw that she was sweating profusely from work, she said distressedly: "You girl, you are really a sensible child, whoever marries you as a wife in the future will die of happiness."

Yao Shanbao smiled and said: "That's right... But my mother doesn't seem to like me, she said I'm a loser."

"Girl Shanbao, don't blame your mother, it's not easy for your mother to blame." Aunt Zhang couldn't help shaking her head when she thought of He Meifang, "Your mother was a great beauty when she was young, because the family You are poor, so your grandparents sold your father to be your daughter-in-law. Girl, don’t take it to your heart when I say something that shouldn’t be said. How can your father’s appearance be worthy of your mother... Hey, these are not Just say it."

"Actually, it's okay if the life is a little bit hard. The couple gritted their teeth and survived... But who knows, your mother can't give birth to a son, and this violates the taboo of your grandparents." Aunt Zhang shook her head, "Also Blame your father, he is a foolish and filial person, his mother-in-law was beaten by her parents and younger brother, and he didn't know how to protect her... No wonder your mother is not going well."

This is the first time that outsiders have talked about the past of his mother. Yao Shanbao also wanted to know the past of his cheap parents, so he asked: "Aunt Zhang, was my mother often beaten and scolded by my grandparents? , isn't my mother married to my father, Ming Media, she just bought it with money?"

Aunt Zhang held Yao Shanbao's hand, with tears in her eyes: "Your mother was originally from Taohua Village, and you have many uncles and aunts, so your grandparents can no longer support the children, so I will give your mother and a few aunts to you." You sold it for money. Your mother is not bad, but she was favored by your father. She bought it back and became a daughter-in-law. She is also a wife of a good family. Your aunts are miserable. They were taken away by teeth. I think, at last The best thing is to sell it to a rich family as a maid."

Yao Shanbao was so angry that his eyes were round and round, like lanterns: "Then how can the He family sell their children?" She wanted to say that this was against the law, but think about it, this is ancient times, and she had read some history books before. Well, there is a saying in the book, that is to say, poor families here have the right to sell their sons and daughters.

Thinking about it this way, Yao Shanbao suddenly felt that he was lucky, that Yao He family didn't want to see her any more, no matter how poor his family was, luckily he didn't sell her for money.

Aunt Zhang thought about the past and continued: "Actually, when your mother was pregnant with you, a barefoot doctor came to the village and said that the child in your mother's womb was a boy. At that time, your grandparents also expected your mother to give birth to a baby boy." Damn, it was pretty good to your mother at that time. But who knows, after the child is born, it is still a girl, and your grandparents will be angry all of a sudden. "

"Your aunt is a provocative person, and relying on her ability to have a son, she instigates the separation of the family. Your father is honest and wants nothing but a broken house that can shelter from the wind." Aunt Zhang shook her head and sighed, "From now on, Your mother's temperament has also changed, and she quarreled with your father every day."

"Then my mother was bullied at Yao's house, and my grandparents live in Taohua Village, don't they know? Or do they know, but don't care about my mother's life or death?" Yao Shanbao thought about it, and felt that the latter was more reliable.

Aunt Zhang snorted: "Your grandpa and grandma got a fortune by selling their daughter, and now they are living a comfortable life, so why do you care whether your mother lives or dies? Forget it, fortunately, your mother has survived." , your eldest sister is married to a good family, and she will also feel proud."

"When your mother first married, I also married to the Zhang family not long ago. At that time, I often went to your house to talk with your mother and enlighten her." Aunt Zhang has opened up her chatterbox today, and she can't stop. , Everything that should be said and should not be said, was said, "Your mother took advantage of your father's absence and hugged me and cried, saying that she didn't want to stay in Yao's house or marry Yao Fugui. I asked her why , Would you rather be a servant girl? She said that being a servant girl is still innocent and free, and once you get married, you will not be able to be with so-and-so in the future. "

"What?" Yao Shanbao was shocked, could it be that the cheap mother had a good relationship before she got married?
Aunt Zhang knew that she had slipped her tongue, so she hurriedly said: "Look, I hope you don't blame your mother for what she said. It's not easy for her. Shanbao, the medicine is cold, and it's time to give Junshen the medicine." .”

Yao Shanbao was holding a bowl in his hand, and then he remembered that he was so busy talking that he forgot to feed the medicine.

Sitting beside the bed with the medicine bowl in hand, he took the medicine with a spoon and fed it to the big fool, but the big fool's mouth was tightly closed, and the medicine juice couldn't get into his mouth at all.

Yao Shanbao tried a few times, and became anxious: "Jun Shen, open your mouth, how can you drink medicine if you don't open your mouth? How can you get better if you don't drink medicine? If you are not healthy, how can you play with me in the future? "

Zhang Jun snorted deeply, moved his mouth, Zhang Auntie said happily: "This Jun Shen is obviously not awake, why does he look as if he can hear you? This is really strange!"

Yao Shanbao also felt a little complacent, and said while feeding the medicine: "Ma'am, your family Junshen is very smart. If he is not stupid in the future, he will be able to do a lot of work." Wipe him with a handkerchief mouth, like coaxing a baby, teasing him with a smile, "Isn't it, Jun Shen?"

Zhang Junshen groaned again: "I'm not a fool." Then he lost his voice and fell asleep.

Yao Shanbao took care of him very carefully. Seeing that the big fool was getting hot, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.When Aunt Zhang saw her, she was both sad and happy. She was thinking, how wonderful it would have been if she had talked about these three girls with Meifang.

But at that time, Shanbao was still young, and Junbao talked about marriage again, so only Lianbao was suitable, so she revealed to He Meifang that she wanted to marry Lianbao.I also said that anyway, the old couple only have one son. If Jun Shen married Lian Bao, everything in the house would belong to both of them.

Aunt Zhang now likes Yao Shanbao more and more, if only she could hold her breath back then, she would have waited a little longer.After Shanbao's girl passes her age, she can propose marriage to Shanbao.
