After sending the village doctor away with many thanks, Wen Kang finally felt relieved.
At this time, the two old men slowly woke up.
"Father, mother." Wen Kang said excitedly.
"Alas~" Wen Danian responded weakly.
Wen Xi stood beside the straw mat and handed over a wooden bowl: "Dad, this is the water that my mother warmed on the stove. Give your grandparents some to drink!"
The water does belong to Lin Huiwen, but it is not obtained from the well in the village, but from the spiritual spring in her space.
"Okay, Xi'er is thoughtful." Wen Kang fed Wen Danian and Liu.
"I haven't drunk water for a long time, but I feel that this water is very sweet." Wen Danian had read some books in the early years, and his speech was a bit refined.
"Yes, it's so sweet!" Mrs. Liu agreed.
Wen Kang just smiled honestly and agreed with his father's words.
"This water tastes really good, is there any more?" Wen Danian became more and more addicted to it, and finally drank three large bowls.
After finishing the drink, I actually felt that my body felt much better than before. When I told my feelings, Mrs. Liu next to me also felt the same.
Wen Xi saw that Wen Danian and Liu were obviously in better spirits than before, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The effect of this spiritual spring was so incredible!
If you drink it all year round, wouldn't all diseases be eliminated and your life prolonged?
Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but light up.
In the afternoon, Wen Danian and Mr. Liu went to work in the fields, which shocked the villagers of Daniu Village.
During the time they were ill, the news spread throughout the village. The old couple of the Wen family saw more air coming out and less air coming in, and their time was running out.
Wen Kang went out to do work in the morning, and he was still looking sad. Everyone in the village said that it was probably just the past two days.
Why are you so energetic and working in the fields in the afternoon?
Some people in the village were talking about whether it was a return to the past?
"Auntie Wen." A famous loudspeaker in the village called to Mrs. Liu who was hoeing in the yard: "Auntie, are you in good health?"
Ms. Liu stopped what she was doing, nodded with a smile and said, "I don't know why it's fine, maybe it's the blessing of our ancestors."
"Oh, Auntie and Uncle Wen are so lucky! We all thought... Oh, let's not say these unlucky words. You are busy, so I will leave first."
It took just one cup of tea to spread the word throughout the village, and the Wen family couple was indeed on the mend.
The family sat together in the evening. Lin Hui brought the steamed sweet potatoes and said with a smile: "Xi'er found these when she went to the back mountain in the morning. I steamed 5 of them and left two for tomorrow morning. You take it with you to eat on the way to town."
"Xi'er found it?" Wen Danian held the sweet potato and looked at Wen Xi: "This is a rare thing."
"There is a wasteland outside the back mountain forest, and there are many wild vegetables in it. I will look for it next time, and maybe I can still find it." Wen Xi said with a smile.
Sweet potatoes are indeed rare in this era, or anything with a hint of sweetness is expensive, and sugar can only be enjoyed by the upper class.
Wen Danian nodded and said with a smile: "Xi'er has grown up and is old enough to study in the town."
read? People in this society actually have such avant-garde ideas?
Can girls also study?
Wen Danian saw Wen Xi's shining eyes and said with a smile: "My grandfather was also born in a scholarly family when he was young. He experienced some turmoil and the family was separated. I ended up living here. My brothers and sisters in the family are more or less educated. "
I see.
The weird feeling after traveling through time was finally explained.
In such a border mountain village, it is not an exaggeration to call it a ravine. How could there be a family like my own?
If other people's children call their grandparents grandparents, her family will call them grandparents.
Girls in rural areas are worthless. Even if a daughter-in-law gives birth to a daughter, she will be scolded by her parents-in-law. In her memory, her grandparents have always treated her and her brother equally, and they have not treated her differently because she is a girl.
My grandparents did not treat my mother harshly because of my uncle's virtue.
It turned out to be because of my grandfather’s previous family background.
Mrs. Liu picked up a sweet potato and broke it in half. She looked at Wen Xi and then at Wen Tao, who was drooling over the sweet potatoes in the basin. She handed it to the two of them with a smile and said, "Hurry up and eat the sweet potatoes."
Wen Xi took the sweet potato and looked thoughtfully at his younger brother who was devouring it next to him.
I have traveled through time, and ancient private schools may be of little use to me, but this child is different. In this dynasty, there is no way out if you don't study.
Wen Tao is now three years old, and he would normally be enlightened at the age of five.
I must try my best to earn enough money before he becomes enlightened and send him to study in the town.
Making up her mind, she began to plan her own path to wealth.
Early the next morning, Wenxi and Wenkang set out for the market in the town.
Wen Kang goes to town every three days to sell firewood.
Since there was no cart or ox cart at home, Wen Kang always carried several large bundles of firewood and walked for an hour to the market.
Wenxi followed step by step, carrying a basket of herbs on his back.
Halfway through, the sun came out and burned the ground.
Wen Kang's back became more and more hunched while carrying firewood, and beads of sweat kept falling.
Wen Xi handed over a water bag. In the morning, Lin Hui handed the water bag to her and asked them to drink it on the way. She also stuffed two sweet potatoes into it.
After going out, he secretly poured out the water in the water bag and replaced it with the spiritual spring in the space.
"Dad, have a drink of water!" Wen Xi handed over the water bag.
Wen Kang also felt his mouth was dry, so he drank heavily.
Yesterday his father said the water was sweet and delicious, and now he felt the same when he drank it.
After a few more sips, I felt full of energy.
"Let's go!" Wen Kang carried the firewood on his back again. Maybe it was his imagination, but the firewood on his body seemed to be lighter.
After hearing the stream, she smiled and said nothing. She decided to let everyone in her family drink Lingquan water as much as possible in the future.
As soon as I arrived at the market, I found that there were especially many farmers selling firewood today.
There was no place to put down firewood in the market.
Wen Kang scratched his head. It seemed that the price was either low or he would have to take it back.
Thinking of Lin Huiqian's instructions to Wan before going out today to use the money from selling firewood to buy three taels of rice and return it to Aunt Li next door, she couldn't help but frown.
I'm afraid that the money from selling firewood today is not enough to buy three taels of rice, but the family of six is still waiting for food.
Wen Xi saw what he was thinking and whispered: "Dad, please find a place to put down the firewood first. I'll go to Baicao Hall."
Knowing that Wen Xi had been to the town several times and was quite familiar with the place, he didn't know how long he would be selling it, so he nodded and said, "Don't run around. If they don't accept your medicinal materials, come back quickly."
She nodded and found Baicaotang Medical Center based on her memory.
A boy came to greet him.
"Little girl, do you want to take medicine?"
Wen Xi shook his head and said, "Is your shopkeeper here?"
