Farmer's daughter Xue Linglong has space
Chapter 12: Shopping and Planting Medicinal Herbs
Before I knew it, we have been married for more than a month. Although we haven't slept together, we live in the same room and things will develop slowly. I really hope he hasn't married, otherwise we will have to divorce. In this day and age, people will point fingers at divorce. I don't know how I can live well now in the future!
Xue Linglong sat aside early in the morning waiting for dinner, and said to her husband, "After dinner, let's go shopping with backpacks on our backs, because the Chinese New Year is coming in a few days, so let's go buy New Year's goods." Well, okay, now the family is not hungry, and there are grains and vegetables in the space to sell for some money to buy New Year's goods. After dinner, Dabao, Erbao, Xue Linglong, and Xu Tingshan went to the village together. When the four people arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw many people waiting for ox carts. Two cents per person was not much. Li Dahua from the village saw Xue Linglong and the others and said, "Hey, isn't this Xue Linglong who just got married?"
Xue Linglong glanced at her and was too lazy to reply. Who knew that she would become more and more aggressive. Li Dahua said again, "Do you have money to ride in a bullock cart? Poor thing." Xue Linglong was not happy when she heard that. "What's it to you whether we have money to ride in a bullock cart?" "We don't eat your clothes, so your family is very controlling." Dabao then said, "Why don't you pay for the bullock cart if you don't have money? I'll pay for your cart so that you don't have to be a good person." Li Dahua was furious and said, "Who cares about you? I'll pay for your cart." Xu Tingshan didn't like to talk much, but he couldn't help it and said, "Then don't talk too much and just mind your own business." The people waiting for the bullock cart next to him also agreed when they heard what she said, "Yes, shut up, okay?"
After a while, two ox carts came. Xue Linglong and the others didn't want to ride on the same ox cart with Li Dahua, but things often go against one's wishes. It just so happened that the other ox cart was full and they had no choice but to ride on the same one. Li Dahua saw that she had a chance to talk to Mr. Xu and hoped to have a good impression of him. The first thing Li Dahua said was, Mr. Xu, Xue Linglong's family is not as rich as ours. Do you want to divorce her and marry me? I promise to serve you well? If I don't let you raise your head in the village, Xue Linglong will be in a mess when she hears this. Li Dahua, do you want to die? You dare to flirt with my husband? I think your life is over. When the ox cart was halfway, Xue Linglong asked the driver to stop the car and finish the business before leaving. After hearing this, the driver said, "How can there be hatred in the same village?" The driver and the villagers on the car all said not to bother with Li Dahua, because she had never been to school and could not speak, and of course it was wrong for her to flirt with your husband. Only your husband could fall in love with Li Dahua, don't make fun of him. Linglong, you are so beautiful, if your husband is cheating on you, then you'd better break up with him as soon as possible and let him leave our village.
Linglong understood what he meant. Xu Tingshan was afraid that Linglong would misunderstand and explain to her, "Wife, I don't like her. Li Dahua is nothing in my eyes. Just treat her as air. You have to believe that your husband will not do anything to let you down. Since I have promised you, you will not do anything messy. A real man keeps his word. I won't recover my memory now. If I were married, I would not waste your time. I promise."
Linglong heard what her husband said and replied, "I believe you. Forget it and don't bother with Li Dahua. Be generous." Dabao said, "Sister, let's go quickly. We have a lot of things to buy on the street." No one in the oxcart behind said anything. Li Dahua didn't feel desperate after hearing what the villagers and Xue Linglong said. She thought to herself that she would wait until one day when Xu Xianggong went out alone to make a move. I don't believe that I can't hook up with Xu Xianggong. Humph.
Xue Linglong and the others didn't care what Li Dahua thought. In short, such a woman was not worth having. The ox cart soon arrived at the village. Xue Linglong and the others separated from the villagers to buy New Year's goods. Linglong thought about how to get the food in her space, so she told Xu Tingshan and the others to go shopping first while she went to the toilet. So she went to the grocery store and bought a lot of sacks. She found a dead end and took out the fine rice and soybeans. After the sacks were filled, she asked her husband to go to the grain store to ask the price and how to buy the rice. Xu Tingshan wondered why he didn't see any food when he came. He knew that his wife had too many secrets and it was not time for her to tell him yet. When Xue Linglong trusts him, she will naturally tell him. Xu Tingshan, Dabao and Erbao went to the grain store to ask the shopkeeper how much the rice cost. The shopkeeper replied that it depends on whether the grain is refined rice or brown rice. Xu Tingshan and the others replied that why don’t you go with us to take a look. There are too many and we can’t move them. If the price is right, then you can find someone to move them to the store. The shopkeeper and Xu Tingshan walked into the alley and saw a lot of sacks. Linglong saw them coming and asked the shopkeeper to take a look at the rice. The shopkeeper thought that now is a time of food shortage and he would take it if possible. The moment the shopkeeper saw the rice, he wondered how could there be such good rice?
The shopkeeper asked Linglong where this fine rice came from, as there was no such good rice in our village. Linglong listened to the shopkeeper's words and said, "Oh, how could I forget that this place only has brown rice and no such fine rice." So she calmly made up a lie and said that it was rice from the other side of the sea. The shopkeeper didn't care about what she said. I will buy this rice at 50 wen per catty. If the price is too high, I won't make much money. I will buy such good rice again in the future. Linglong discussed it with Xu Tingshan and replied, "Okay, we will There are about 400 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of soybeans here. The shopkeeper saw that their grains were exquisite and bought them all without saying a word. The soybeans were 20 wen per kilogram. The shopkeeper called the shop assistant to weigh the 400 kilograms of rice (200 liang) and the soybeans (200 wen). After weighing, the shopkeeper gave the money to Linglong. They said to the shopkeeper, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for being a really honest man and we are very satisfied with the price you gave." After hearing this, the shopkeeper was very happy and said, "Next time you have such good grain, come to my store and I guarantee that I will never cheat you."
Linglong and his friends walked out of the grain store and saw many things on the street that they had never seen before. Dabao and Erbao walked to the stall selling candied haws and wanted to eat them but didn't dare to say it. Xu Tingshan saw their expressions and said, "Wife, buy Dabao and his friends a candied haws. It's rare to take them to the street." Linglong heard her husband say that, "Okay, let's buy some for all four of us." Xu Tingshan said, "I don't like sweet food, you guys buy it." In fact, Xu Tingshan also wanted to eat it, but he had no money and had to rely on his wife for money. He was also very inferior. Not only did he lose his memory, he also had no money on him. How did he live before? Why can't he remember anything? Linglong said, "It's okay. I don't eat it often. You can buy whatever you want with the money you sell today. Don't worry too much. You can earn money again when you lose it. Just live in the present.
Xue Linglong's thoughts are a little different from those of modern people and ancient people. She never worries about anything. She walks and stops and buys sugar figures whenever she sees one. Linglong and her friends go to the garment store and buy two sets of cotton clothes for everyone in the family. Of course, these clothes are not as good as the clothes Xu Tingshan wore when he first met him on the mountain. Linglong smiled and said to her husband, "I'm sorry, we can only buy cotton clothes because of our family's conditions. When our life gets better, we will go to the provincial capital to buy better clothes for you." Xu Tingshan replied, "Wife, this is good. I feel bad when I ask you to buy clothes for me even though I don't have any money. How can I feel sorry for that?"
The two brothers Dabao also said that when they grow up, they will buy the best clothes for their sister and parents. Dabao's dream is to become a high-ranking official. Now he is 12 years old and he will become a scholar after taking the exam. When Linglong heard that the two brothers were so ambitious, she went to the bookstore and bought the best inkstones and pens to encourage them. Dabao and Erbao were so moved by their sister's kindness that they burst into tears. In the past, when they lived in the old house, they never dared to think about taking the imperial examinations and having such good books. We must study hard and not let our family worry about us. Linglong and Xu Tingshan felt so relieved to hear what the two brothers said.
It was almost noon time and Linglong wanted to take the three of them out for a good meal. Xu Tingshan and the others replied without thinking, "Let's just have wontons. There's no need to spend so much money on anything else. The three of us like wontons and buns." When Linglong heard that they were saving money so much, she didn't say anything more and went to sit at the wonton stall. The shopkeeper brought 4 bowls of wontons and 4 baskets of buns. The shopkeeper replied, "Okay, I'll arrange that. Please wait a moment."
Sitting at the stall, I heard people at the table next to me talking about the current trend. A tall and mighty man said, "Have you heard about it? There is a drought in many places now, and there is a lack of food. There is no wild vegetables to eat. I don't know how long this will last. If it rains, wild vegetables and food will grow. Someone else said that there is too much rain in the south, and we should move our families to the south. If it continues like this, we will not be able to survive. I sincerely hope that there will be no war and the people will not live so hard."
The shopkeeper of the wonton shop said, "The wontons are ready. Please eat them while they are hot." Linglong and the others curiously asked the shopkeeper, "Didn't we hear that there is emergency food in the village? Why hasn't it been distributed?" The shopkeeper heard that you are not from the village, but from which mountain village? Linglong replied, "Oh, we are from Taohua Village. We went to the village to buy New Year's goods today. I didn't hear a lot of things. Is there any emergency food?" The shopkeeper said, "Shh, there is emergency food, but it is all moldy and can't be eaten. So everyone should not count on the emergency food. Let's find a way out ourselves, right?"
The people around also agreed. Yes, there is no way to eat. Only a good official can come to find a solution for the people. Otherwise, it will not last long and there will be chaos. I also heard that other places have no food and even eat children. Linglong felt very uncomfortable when she heard that who is so cruel that they don't even let children go.
Xu Tingshan felt bad too, but he was supported by his wife now, so it was impossible for him to help more people. Linglong thought about it and she still had brown rice in her space, so how about setting up a tent to distribute porridge. After thinking about it, she said to Xu Tingshan, "Husband, how about we help everyone to distribute porridge, but of course we can't distribute porridge every day." Xu Tingshan felt so relieved to hear his wife say this, he was lucky to marry such a good wife. The four of them decided to do it and went to the county government office to tell the county magistrate that they wanted to distribute porridge and asked the county magistrate to arrange sheds and so on, and they would be responsible for providing food. When the county magistrate heard what they said, he didn't believe that they had food at first. After Linglong took out a lot of brown rice, the county magistrate saw it and said, "I will take the villagers to thank you four for your kindness." The county magistrate called the military advisor to arrange the sheds and pots to notify those who couldn't afford to eat at home to come and have porridge. Dabao and the others were very happy to help everyone. Although the food was not much, it was enough for one day. After all, no matter how rich a family is, they are not as rich as the country, so they can only help a little.
Xu Tingshan held the county government's loudspeaker and shouted, "It's time to drink porridge. Today the four of us will give porridge to everyone. Although the food is not much, it is our family's intention. Please don't despise the brown rice. Many beggars heard that there was porridge being given away, so they picked up their broken bowls and went. Everyone, line up, don't push and shove, otherwise no one can drink. An old lady brought a 3-year-old girl to Linglong and said, "Please, my granddaughter and I haven't eaten for a long time. We are so hungry. Can you trouble us to prepare some porridge and white flour buns for us first?" Linglong felt bad to see them like this. "Please don't push. Let's discuss whether we can give it to the grandparents and grandchildren first." Many people in the line were also very easy to talk to. "Okay, give it to them first, we can wait a while." The grandparents and grandchildren immediately knelt down to everyone and said, "Thank you for letting us drink porridge first. Good people will be rewarded." Linglong and the others also knew that their abilities were limited and they couldn't help too much. They could only help as much as they could. Xu Tingshan said, "Old man, you're welcome. We are doing the best we can. We can't do anything with too much ability."
Linglong looked at her husband who supported her idea today and implemented it. She was very grateful to her husband and vowed to treat him better. No one knew what the future would be like, so let's live well now, right? Many people in the queue said that the four of them were good people. You will be rewarded for helping everyone like this. Dabao and Erbao were also very happy to distribute steamed buns to everyone. Linglong and the four of them told the county magistrate that distributing porridge in one day would not help much. The important thing was to let the officials above distribute food to everyone, otherwise it would not last long and the village would be in chaos. The county magistrate also knew that this was not good, but what could he do? His official position was small and he could only submit memorials. It took half a month to go back and forth. It was difficult to be a county magistrate. Even if there was good food, it was all bad food in the village. If this continued, I, the county magistrate, would have to resign and become an ordinary citizen. The villagers heard the county magistrate's words and knew that it was difficult for him. If the villagers had not been hungry, there would be no chaos.
Linglong and the other four saw that there were not many porridge and steamed buns left, so they used a loudspeaker to shout that the porridge distribution was over today and that we could only help so much. It would depend on the county magistrate's arrangements. Many of the villagers knelt down before them, and many said that they would talk about it today after they were full. Thank you for distributing porridge to us. Can I ask your names? Linglong and her husband replied that their names were insignificant and that there was no need to be so grateful. If things get better in the future, we will come to help you again.
The county magistrate saw that they were about to leave and stopped them to ask if they could go to the county government office to have a talk. Linglong and the others thought it was a good idea to hear the county magistrate say that if they wanted to grow medicinal herbs behind their homes, they could also lead everyone to grow herbs. They didn't know if it would work. When they arrived at the back house of the county government office, the military advisor gave them a few cups of tea. The county magistrate asked if your family had a better way to feed everyone. Linglong replied, "County magistrate, how did you know?" The county magistrate saw that the couple looked like people who would do things as soon as they said they would. I am quite sure about this. Linglong and his wife didn't hide it and said that they wanted to lead everyone to grow medicinal herbs together. They could only live a good life now and then think of ways to make a fortune later.
When the county magistrate and the military advisor heard what the couple said, they immediately said that they needed our cooperation, and said, "Miss Xue, we don't know how to thank you for helping us like this. If the planting of medicinal herbs is successful, I will report to the court and reward your family." The couple never thought about any reward and had some selfish motives. They thought that knowing medical skills and planting so many medicinal herbs to treat everyone was the best reward.
The couple told the county magistrate that they could plant the crops after the land was plowed and fertilized, and then the county magistrate would just need to cooperate with them. After listening to what the couple said, the county magistrate kept saying yes. The couple said goodbye to the county magistrate and they had to go buy meat and Spring Festival couplets and many other things. It was getting dark, so they had to hurry or all the ox carts in the village would have left. The four of them bought meat and seasonings, but when they got to the ox cart place, they found there were no ox carts left. After discussing it, the couple rented an ox cart and went home. The four of them were really tired today and went home happily.
