Chapter 47 The family plans to build a house

"Grandma, what's the second thing?"

"The second thing is the house building. We have discussed it with the Bai family and the two families are building the house together.

Let the Bai family build first, and they can live in our house while they are building their house. After the Bai family’s house is finished, we can build our own, and then our whole family can move in to the Bai family’s house.

Now that we have made some money, and you and your sister are getting older, it is not good for you to always sleep together.

After the expansion of the house, I plan to make the backyard more spacious and build a few more rooms, so that we can prepare medicinal materials more conveniently. "When Zhu thought about the upcoming construction of her own house, her face became even more joyful.

"Grandma, please take care of the house building. Is there enough money?

Last year, I told you, mother, that next year we would build a house, buy a few more acres of land, and raise a few more pigs. My mother thought I was joking.

Look, we have built a house this year." Xu Qingyi glanced at her mother and said with a smile.

"Oh! Mother has never seen the world. I never thought you could make our family so prosperous." After hearing her daughter's words, Zhang was filled with surprise and emotion.

Although she was not smart, she knew that all this was caused by her daughter.

Looking back on the past days, their family was once very poor and could not even get enough food to eat. They even had to sell their daughter for food, not to mention buying land and raising pigs.

Now, not only can they build large brick and tile houses, but they also don't have to worry about daily food and drink. Their lives have undergone tremendous changes.

All these changes are inseparable from Qingyi in her family.

"Qingyi, you are your mother's pride and the lucky star of our family." Zhang looked at her daughter happily and said.

“Grandma, if our family and the Bai family build a house, we won’t have to live in each other’s house.

There is always gossip about a widow. The Bai family, an orphan and a widow, lived under the same roof with my father and uncle, so there was nothing wrong with them. But if people gossiped about it, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

It would be better to spend some money and stay at the villagers' house to pass the time of building the house, what do you think, grandma?" Xu Qingyi thought of this.

"Qingyi, you are very thoughtful. Let's talk to the Bai family tomorrow.

Qingyi, Old Zhang said Qingwu is a good student, what do you think about sending Qingwu to the academy?" After thinking about this, Zhu glanced at the old family and said to her eldest granddaughter.

Although she is the head of the family, she has two sons and she has to treat them equally. Plus, Qingyi, the daughter of the eldest son, is so promising and can make money. It costs a lot of money to study, and it has to be spent on the second son's family. So naturally, she has to respect the eldest son, especially Qingyi.

"In my family, I have my second brother, my third sister and I studying medicine and pharmacy. It doesn't matter if I have a fourth brother who studies medicine and pharmacy.

Since the fourth brother can read, let him read. If he can't make any achievements, we can give up and let him change his career. "In ancient times, the family was rich in money. Seeing that the fourth brother had a talent for reading, Zhu wanted to send him to the academy to study, and Xu Qingyi could understand.

On the other hand, when Xiao Zhu heard that her own Qingyi agreed to let Qingwu study in the academy, she looked very happy.

Zhu also smiled and nodded, saying, "In that case, after we finish building the house this year and save some money, we will send Qingwu to the academy to study at the beginning of next year.

Qingwu, when you go to the academy to study, you must study hard. Don't let down your family's expectations, and don't let down the efforts of your uncle's family.

Although my family members have never been to school, they know that studying is a way out. With knowledge, we can become officials and stand out in the world. "

"Grandma, don't worry, your grandson will study hard.

When I become successful and an official in the future, I will definitely be filial to my grandma and will not forget the efforts of my uncle's family. "Xu Qingwu, who was standing by, promised Zhu solemnly.

While the Xu family was talking, the Bai family also talked to Bai Yan about building their house.

Bai Yan naturally had no objection.

After staying at home for two days, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan took Xu Qingping and Xu Qing'an to the town's clinic.

On the way, Xu Qingyi gave some instructions to the two siblings. After arriving at the clinic, Xu Qingyi first took Xu Qingping and his sister to the storekeeper Hou to ask for their care, and also paid this month's apprenticeship fee.

As for Manager Hou, he was naturally delighted when he saw Xu Qingyi bringing her younger brother and sister-in-law to the clinic to learn medicine and make pharmacy.

Because their Shili Village had produced two people with great medical talents, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, and they also thought that Shili Village had good feng shui and was specialized in producing people with great medical talents, they were naturally happy to accept Xu Qingping and Xu Qing'an.

After arranging for them to stay, we let them rest for a night and then arranged work for them the next day.

......

That afternoon, Xu Qingyi went to treat the poor families who came to him for treatment as usual.

However, at this moment, Li rushed in from outside. She said to Xu Qingyi anxiously, "Doctor Xu, my son Yangzi's leg was scalded by boiling water. Can you come to my house to take a look?"

"How long has it been? How serious is it? Where did it get burned?" Xu Qingyi asked hurriedly.

"He was burned just now and was crying in pain. I didn't even see a doctor and came straight to you, Doctor Xu." Mrs. Li said hurriedly.

"Senior Brother Wu, I'll leave this to you. I'll go to Aunt Li's house to take a look." After Xu Qingyi thought for a moment, he instructed Wu Yao and rushed to Li's house.

Only doctors with the rank of associate doctor or above in a clinic are qualified to be equipped with medicine boxes, silver needles and first aid pills, such as pain-relieving pills, hemostatic powder, bandage cloth, etc.

If Li's son was seriously burned, this trip to Li's house would be useless.

As Li walked towards the slums of the town, he saw that the houses around him were getting more and more dilapidated, and the streets were getting narrower and narrower. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and most of them were ragged and skinny.

Xu Qingyi couldn't help but sigh that this world was really unfair. Some people lived a luxurious life, while others could only struggle in such a harsh environment.

Not all the people who can live in the town are rich. Some people have no money and live a very difficult life. They may be forced to move to the town for various reasons, such as resettlement of refugees, family changes, etc.

Xu Qingyi walked into a small alley, which was full of garbage and smelled bad. Suddenly, she heard a child crying. When she got closer, she saw a disheveled little girl sitting in the corner crying.

The girl seemed to hear the voice. She looked up and saw Li. She timidly called out, "Mom."

"You naughty girl, I'll settle the score with you later. I've always said that you were clumsy, and now you've burned your brother.

If something happens to your brother, I will beat you to death." The preference for boys over girls does not distinguish between the rich and the poor, Li said to her daughter with a gloomy face.

The girl from the Li family was frightened and choked, not daring to cry out loud.
