Xiao Yi's physical condition was good and the postoperative healing was very good. There was no infection such as redness, swelling, heat or pain. After three or four days, she was able to move on her own. Xiao Yi couldn't lie down in the room, so Xie Yushu went to calm her down. I bought him a pair of crutches and asked him to exercise on them.
It is worth mentioning that Han Zhongyu is very efficient at work. He has successfully implemented and spread the civil house structure diagram that Xie Yushu taught him to Xie Yushu and others in Beihe Town.
When Xie Yushu went to the town, she happened to see Liu Nan leading people to build a sample house next to the big market, and the village chiefs and villagers from each village had already arrived one after another to study.
Xie Yushu and Liu Nan asked about Xie Tianqi and the others, and Liu Nan said everything was fine.
Liu Nan was also very busy at work. I heard that he had been here for three days, and he and Liu Bei only took turns to go home for an hour. After a while, people came to ask him about something, so Xie Yushu came back without disturbing him too much.
Sure enough, the next day, the news spread to Fenghuangzui that the town official brought someone to teach people how to build a strong, warm and free house. The village chief took people to learn. The villagers who originally wanted to queue up to burn tiles at Xie Yushu No more rowing! Soon the crowd stopped in front of Xiao Yi’s house!
Those who burned the tiles did not regret it, because they all paid for it with wages or firewood, and they also took care of meals at noon. They heard that the method taught by the officials was to seal the roof with soil, and they thought that the tiles were stronger than soil. , no matter how you calculate it, it’s not a loss, and I feel extra at ease.
They were busy putting up tiles, and those who went to town to study were busy removing thatch from the roofs to replace the roofs.
Some walls were damaged, and even the walls were repaired.
The days were busy, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than 20 days later. Xiao Yi's leg had the stitches removed, but Xie Yushu still didn't let him walk. She only allowed him to stand with a little effort, as long as he didn't feel pain at the surgical site.
The weather was getting colder at this time, and the autumn breeze was blowing. Xie Yushu and the others put on their skirts as they wished, and walking in the village undoubtedly became a beautiful scenery!
Although these few people did not wear the best clothes, they were just prepared to wear at home, but they also made many girls and wives jealous. They regretted that they were not brave enough to follow them into the mountains to catch two rabbits. If you sell it, you can buy two nice new clothes!
Xie Yushu and the others had not been beautiful for a few days, and the autumn harvest had begun again. Xiao Dayong came to Xiao Yi, meaning that old man Xiao wanted to use the car. Xiao Yi agreed, but set a time limit for them, saying that the Xie family also had to use it.
Xiao Dayong estimated that three days would be about the same.
Qu Xiaodie couldn't trust Old Man Xiao and insisted on following him in person, so she led the donkey and followed him.
Xie Yushu had nothing to do, so she went into the mountains to collect herbs. In autumn and winter, it is easy to catch wind and cold, especially after a major disaster, and people's physical fitness is generally not high. She wanted to prepare some commonly used herbs for clearing away heat and detoxifying and making pills for later use.
As a doctor, she has not been doing her job properly for a long time.
Fortunately, the vitality of nature is very tenacious. In just three months, many medicinal materials have grown again.
Xie Yushu focused on picking Daqingye and its roots, which became the main medicine of Isatis root in later generations.
There are also dianthus and dandelion. Dandelion is the main medicine of dandelion in later generations, and it is very effective in treating colds and coughs.
And there was a lot of stuff, almost found in pieces. Xie Yushu picked it for two days in a row, and there were four big sacks. Xiao Yi and Xiao Haitang helped pick, wash and dry them at home.
In addition, we also picked some, ground bark, honeysuckle, forsythia, chrysanthemum, Pulsatilla, prunella vulgaris, cassia, rhubarb, coptis, astragalus, cork, etc., all of which have good heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. Part of it is used for upper burners, some for middle burners, some for lower burners, some for dispersing fire toxins from the eyes, some for dispersing fire toxins from the throat, and some for dispersing fire toxins from the large intestine.
We caught up and dug some wild glutinous rice and yams.
With these medicines, you can prescribe several medicines for common diseases. If you come to your home for treatment, you can cope with it for a while.
Xie Yushu collected herbs and lived a contented life, but Qu Xiaodie witnessed the chaos in the Xiao family's old house.
According to normal circumstances, everyone who can work goes to the fields, and those who can't do hard work cook at home. Everyone works together and takes back the potatoes from the seventeen or eight acres of land in three or four days. If you push back, nothing will be delayed.
However, there are no normal things for people who are not normal. The work that could have been completed in three days took seven days to complete.
Qu Xiaodie had only been there for half a day when Xiao Taohua called everyone back from the field and also let Qu Xiaodie watch a show.
Xiao Yuanhang came back from school in the county and said it was a farm holiday. This farm holiday has existed since ancient times. It lasted ten days. In modern times, Xie Yushu said that rural primary schools still had a farm holiday! Probably in the new century, there is no longer a holiday during the busy season, but there are unified statutory holidays such as the May Day holiday and the National Day holiday.
I'm going too far. Xiao Yuanhang came back from the busy farm vacation. He heard that Xie Yujiao was pregnant. His expression was very strange. Xie Yujiao asked him several times.
"Aren't you happy that your husband is going to be a father?"
Xiao Yuanhang kept saying that he was happy, of course he was happy, and then he said a few perfunctory words to Xie Yujiao before going to find Mrs. Xiao.
Old Mrs. Xiao was instructing Widow Liu to squeeze her shoulders. When she saw her precious son coming, she stopped squeezing her shoulders and quickly asked Mrs. Liu to squeeze her precious son.
Of course Ms. Liu wouldn't want to pinch Mrs. Xiao's shoulders and back, but she would give it to Xiao Yuanhang! Mrs. Liu can't wait to do it!
Xiao Yuanhang was very curious as to why her mother was willing to hire someone to wait on her. Mrs. Xiao just said that she had paid for the service.
Of course Xiao Yuanhang wouldn't refuse someone offering him a massage.
Mrs. Xiao looked at her son and squinted his eyes comfortably, and asked
"How long can my son stay when he comes back this time?"
"I can't say for sure. I came back this time mainly to tell you something, a happy event!"
"What happy event?"
"I told Xiao Yan about a husband's family who was my classmate. Although my classmate was still a child, his father was Cao Dahu in the town of Nanwan next door. He had three shops in the town and his family had 500 acres of fertile land. He was considered a wealthy family. Local rich man, people are interested in my status as a scholar, are willing to make friends, and want to marry our family!
They promised to give one hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift!
Mom, if you and dad agree to this, I will ask my classmates to come over and visit the two families. "
"What? A betrothal gift of one hundred taels of silver? Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, I can still lie to you. You are my biological parents, and Xiao Yan is my biological sister!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao was so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She hurriedly shouted to Xiao Taohua to go to the fields to call people and ask everyone to come back. Firstly, she was discussing this matter with Old Xiao, and secondly, she was asking for help. Look at Qu Xiaodie and Li, her daughter is going to marry into a rich family and become a grandmother!
So there was a situation where Qu Xiaodie and the others were called back after working for only half a day.
