Only this green, not disappointing the spring

At first, Li didn't realize whether the price was expensive or cheap. After all, the price of ginseng root was ten times that of honeysuckle.

But when she saw that the shop assistant gave her daughter eight hundred coins after weighing the goods, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

How could you get so much money?

This is much easier than weaving, but unfortunately there are too few of them growing on the mountain.

The honeysuckle flower that the doctor mentioned in this chapter is called Erbao flower by the villagers. When a child in the family has a fever, the elders will pick a handful and make tea with it.

No one knew that this thing could actually be sold for money!

Li deeply realized the importance of broadening one's horizons.

If possible, once the father of the children is able to go out freely, let both children come to the clinic as apprentices. I wonder if Doctor Zhang will agree to this.

After bidding farewell to Doctor Zhang, the mother and daughter found a medicine shop selling ginseng roots.

Zhou Xiaoxi made use of the fine tradition of bargaining from his previous life and successfully bought two taels of ginseng whiskers with one tael of silver and eight hundred coins.

Finally, after buying some coarse grains and a little white flour, the two left the city on empty stomachs.

The weather was too hot, and carrying dry food was inconvenient and easy to spoil, so the mother and daughter only brought a water bag.

Li wiped the sweat from Xiaoxi's forehead with a handkerchief, feeling guilty for not being able to buy some food for the child.

"Good boy, when we get home, I'll make you some pancakes, the kind made with white flour."

Zhou Xiaoxi burst out laughing.

"Mom, why are you still treating me like a child? It's okay, I'm not hungry, don't worry."

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure getting closer and closer. Zhou Xiaoxi immediately and swiftly stuffed the small cloth bag containing ginseng roots into the bottom of the bamboo basket and pressed it down with white flour.

As soon as he covered himself, the people over there came closer.

"Hey, Miss Li, you went through so much trouble just to buy half a bag of whole grains. When we first came to the city, I was planning to keep you two company, but I don't know how you could run so fast and disappear in the blink of an eye. You weren't trying to avoid me on purpose, were you?"

This short and strong woman came to the city today mainly to buy some good cloth. Her daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and her belly looks like a boy.

As a grandmother, she had to hurry up and make some small clothes for her eldest grandson.

But once I entered the fabric shop, I was dazzled by the choices. Every piece looked good, and the fabrics felt soft and smooth.

Before I could make a decision, the calluses on my hands actually pulled threads out of the fabric! I was very careful and just touched it lightly with my fingers, so how could it pull threads out?

This material is too expensive!

The shopkeeper was already impatient with her, and now he became even more furious.

Now that was a problem. I had originally planned to buy some scraps of cloth, or at most three feet of fine cloth, but in the end I had to buy the entire piece of cloth before the shop would let me go.

I had no intention of taking that piece of cloth, I just wanted to get my hands on it, but who would have thought that I would be blackmailed!

The short and strong woman was so upset. She spent two taels of silver plus a silver bracelet! It hurts just thinking about it.

But there was nothing she could do. As a farm woman, how could she dare to offend the shopkeeper in the city?

The other party kept clamoring to call the police. The short and strong woman had never seen such a scene before and was so scared that she almost fell to the ground.

He had no choice but to pay the money. Since the silver was not enough, the cloth shop owner reluctantly agreed to use a silver bracelet as payment.

Therefore, the short and strong woman who was full of anger couldn't help but want to say a few words to vent her anger when she saw Li's mother and daughter.

Li was really fed up with this woman and didn't treat her well at all.

"Sister-in-law, look at what you said. Our family is not as rich as you are to buy a whole piece of good cloth."

Li looked carefully at the piece of cloth in the woman's arms. The material was good, but it was not suitable for the villagers to wear.

You have to work all day long, and if you are not careful, the thread will be snagged. If you don't handle it well, the whole piece of clothing will be ruined.

What's more, it is not stain-resistant at all, difficult to clean, and easily damaged after washing.

Isn't this just asking for trouble? It's obvious that they have money to burn!

Hearing Li's compliment, the short and fat woman felt a little relieved. At least the cloth was of good quality and it would not be a loss to keep it for making clothes for her eldest grandson.

And when he saw that the things in Xiaoxi's bamboo basket were bulging and covered with a piece of green cloth, he suspected that there was some good stuff hidden inside.

"Little brook girl, what are you hiding in that basket? Why are you covering it with a cloth so that no one can see it?"

"Auntie, since you know I'm afraid of being seen, why are you still asking? Everyone has their own private affairs. You can't tell everything to others."

Zhou Xiaoxi didn't want to indulge this woman's bad habits at all.

The anger that the short and fat woman had just suppressed surged up again. This girl from Zhou Jun's family was so uneducated, and every word she said was more unpleasant than the last.

His voice instantly became three or four times louder, and he put one hand on his waist and started to lecture people:

"How can you talk like that? I'm just asking, who cares about your little thing? You have no manners when talking to your elders, you're really unpleasant. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to find a husband in the future?"

Li was instantly furious. How could someone ruin a girl's reputation so casually?

Like an old hen, she spread her wings and protected Zhou Xiaoxi behind her.

"Why are you, a woman, trying to please others like a dog-skin plaster? Who wants to pay attention to you? Why are you always nagging people? My daughter is such a good girl. There will be many people who will want her in the future. There is no need for an elder like you who has nothing to do with her to lecture her!"

As soon as Li finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoxi quickly pulled her towards Old Man Liu's donkey cart, ignoring the woman as if she were air.

The short and strong woman stood there in confusion with a lot of question marks on her head. What happened to the interaction we agreed on?

Why does my family always use this routine this week!

When he thought of Zhou Jun, he didn't dare to really fight with the mother and daughter. What if he accidentally destroyed the cloth in his arms? He could only hold his anger and sit on the donkey cart and wait for Old Man Liu to set off.

……

The sun had already set when the group returned to the village. After a day of hard work, everyone was very tired. No longer in the mood to argue, they all went home.

The short and fat woman was holding cloth in her arms and was praised by people in the village who saw her along the way.

I walked home with a nervous heart. I wondered how my family would react if they knew I spent so much money on cloth.

The old man in my family suffers from headaches all the time. He won’t faint from being angry, right?

Li's mother and daughter were too lazy to care about the woman, and even disdained to mention her when they returned home.

Zhou Fu left early on the pretext of going home for dinner.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhou Jun basically lay in bed all day. Apart from solving the matter of the Reincarnation of Grains, he did not bother his elder brother at all.

Zhou Xiaonan was like a little top all day long, spinning around and doing all the housework he could.

He wanted to carry the wooden bucket to fetch water, but Zhou Fu was obviously not thick-skinned enough and was too embarrassed to just stand by and watch, so he could only ask for the bucket to fill up the water tank at home.

Zhou Fu felt very uncomfortable, although he certainly liked his son more than his daughter.

But I have four children in total, two boys and two girls, and not one of them is diligent!

Seeing the girl from the third brother's family working quickly and well at such a young age and never complaining, I felt a little envious.

However, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. A son is better because he can provide for you in your old age and inherit your family line.

Well, I feel much better.
