Wang Xuelan also joined in, "Your father is right. We, as a family, should work together when we have the energy. You don't have to worry about things at home, we will take care of them."
Chu Yue added at the right moment, "There is a mule cart at home. If my uncle and aunt miss home, they can come back often. There is no need to wait until the farming season is busy. I don't have too many things to do there. If my uncle and aunt are willing, they can come with us." "
It's definitely not realistic to go back and forth every day, but there are rooms in the rented courtyard, and it's a courtyard with a brick house, so it's not a hassle to live there.
Lu Shoucheng slapped his thigh.
"Okay, let's go."
Unlike his eldest brother and his second brother, he has a skill as a bricklayer. At most, he can only go out to do small jobs, which is tiring and the wages are low. It is better to follow the third sister-in-law's family, and you can still make some money. We are all in the same family. People should just do things for their own family.
Lu Shoucheng had spoken, and Jiang Xiuqin had no objection. After all, her daughter was studying medicine with Chu Yue.
"What are you mainly doing? Tell us so we can have a better idea."
"The things in the workshop are similar to the medicine bags we made before. It's not particularly heavy work, but the fourth uncle's things will be a little more. Apart from the things in the workshop, I have to work with Brother Dagui when necessary. Drive to the county town to deliver goods.”
After hearing this, Lu Shoucheng waved his hands and said, "These are all trivial matters, nothing else. Fourth uncle's strength is not small."
Jiang Xiuqin glanced at him and said, "You have the nerve to brag even if you have no strength."
Lu Shoucheng had a trace of pride on his face.
"That is."
How can this woman be satisfied without any strength?
After all, they had been married for so many years. Looking at his expression, Jiang Xiuqin knew what he was thinking, and was afraid that he was talking nonsense, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Yueyue, the matter in the town has been decided. Tomorrow, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt will go take a look with you."
Chu Yue smiled and stood up, "Okay, I'll go back first. Tomorrow, when the mule cart passes by the old house, I'll call my fourth uncle and fourth aunt."
"Hey, I'll give it to you."
Jiang Xiuqin said as she sent Chu Yue out of the house.
"There's no need to send it off, Fourth Aunt, let's go back." After she said that, she picked up her skirt and ran home.
The dinner was quite sumptuous. In addition to the usual sweet and sour radish, a rabbit was roasted. After the family ate, they took advantage of the daylight to wash up and climb onto the kang.
Chu Yue lit the oil lamp beside the bed, picked up the lone medical book that Zhang Zheng had given her before, and read through it.
During this period of time, she was first busy with things in the medical clinic, and then fell ill, so she didn't even bother to read a book. After reading this, until the oil in the oil lamp burned out, Chu Yue leaned on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. .
…
The next day, when Lu Dagui was driving Chu Yue down the mountain in a mule cart, he passed by the old house and took Lu Shoucheng, his wife and Lu Yufang with him.
As soon as they arrived in the town, Chu Yue led Lu Shoucheng and Jiang Xiuqin to the workshop.
The person who opened the door was Zhang Qiuying. After renting the yard yesterday, she moved her few things into the yard. The mother and daughter found a side house in the backyard to live in.
"Doctor Chu is here."
Chu Yue hummed, "I'll bring my fourth uncle and my fourth aunt here to take a look. Sister Qiuying, you can lead them around the backyard first, and then tell me what I think."
Zhang Qiuying is originally responsible for everything here, so it would be more appropriate for her to lead the introduction.
After hearing this, Zhang Qiuying hurriedly led the two of them to the backyard.
"Uncle, aunt, you come with me. Our workshop is mainly located in the backyard. I cleared the place yesterday..."
According to Chu Yue's idea, the workshops are mainly arranged in the backyard. The backyard yard is wider than the front yard, which is completely sufficient for a small workshop. The front yard can be used as a dormitory for people who live in remote areas.
Lu Shoucheng and his wife followed Zhang Qiuying around and then came to Chu Yue.
"Yueyue, will your family live here too?" Jiang Xiuqin asked.
Chu Yue shook her head, "We don't live here. Xingping Xingan wants to study. We will live a little closer to the academy."
"I would also like to send Xiaowei to study in an academy."
Jiang Xiuqin made a mental decision and pulled Lu Shoucheng aside. The two of them murmured about something before they came back to Chu Yue.
"Yueyue, your front yard is so spacious. It's not economical for workers to live in it. How about renting it to my uncle and aunt?"
Chu Yue looked puzzled, "Originally, I called my fourth uncle and my fourth aunt to the town to reserve a house for you. Why does the fourth aunt still have to spend money to rent it?"
"I know, it's just that I want to bring Xiaowei to study in the town. When the time comes, it will be more convenient for us to work here and live together. Besides, Yufang works in your medical clinic now and always goes to the old house. It’s inconvenient, but we feel relieved if you live with us.”
The family was not well-off before, and the parents-in-law supported a large family, and the two pairs of brothers and sisters-in-law had their own thoughts. The first two sons had never studied in school. When they were thirteen years old, they each went to learn crafts from their masters.
There must always be someone in the family who can read.
Now the two of them work here in Chu Yue, earning seventy cents a day, and at least two taels of silver a month, which is barely enough for Xiaowei to study.
When Chu Yue heard this, she nodded and said, "Since the fourth aunt wants to rent, let's consider the rent as one hundred cents a month. When the time comes, I will find someone to separate the front and back yards so that the people behind will not disturb the ones in front." Pure.”
Jiang Xiuqin smiled and said, "Sure! Then it's settled."
"The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt will arrange the house first. Later, the Ziren that Sister Qiuying asked for is here. The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt will help me keep an eye on it. I have to go back to the hospital." Chu Yue said, heading towards the door. Go.
Jiang Xiuqin hurriedly sent Chu Yue to the door.
"Don't worry about leaving the matters here to us. Zhang just showed us the drawings. With your fourth uncle watching, there won't be any problems."
"Hey, I'll be troublesome to my fourth uncle and my aunt."
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she left the courtyard and went to the medical center.
On the way, someone suddenly ran out from the side and covered his head with a sack.
Suddenly her head was covered, Chu Yue's vision dimmed. Although she was panicking, she still tried to stay calm. She took out a packet of powder from her sleeve pocket and sprinkled it around based on her feeling.
She didn't know if it was spread on anyone, but she hit it hard, knocked the people around her away, and ran towards the medical center.
While running, he took off the sack on his head and shouted, "Help, someone is robbing a girl in broad daylight!"
The road in front of him was a long alley. Although there were houses on both sides, the door did not open to the alley, so no one came forward to rescue Chu Yue in a short period of time.
