Boss Lin was faster than her. In a flash, Widow Qian only got a corner of her clothes, but he rubbed it over and over again in disgust as if it was stained with something unclean.
He also took care of farm work, picked up the ox, and the two younger brothers who had just entered the yard, and left without looking back, as if there was a ghost chasing behind him.
"Brother, what's going on? The work isn't finished yet?"
"There's no need to do it. There's a goblin in the yard, it's not our turn to help!"
Lin Lao Er and Lin Lao San looked at each other and realized later where the contempt in the eyes of the villagers came from.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of your sister-in-law when you go back, otherwise she will have to peel off my skin." Boss Lin repeatedly warned the two brothers. Although he had done nothing, he still felt like he was sorry for his wife.
Old Mrs. Lin was basking in the sun at the entrance of the courtyard. Xiangyun was nestled in the old lady's arms, squinting her eyes in the sun.
Lin Lao San and others came back with their backpacks on their backs and happened to see this scene.
"Mom, even though it's autumn, the sun is strong at noon. Don't let Bao get tanned."
Xiangyun's face is white and tender. After being raised in Lianhua Village for half a month, it has become more rosy and translucent. When exposed to the sun, it looks like a newly ripe apple on the tree, making people want to take a bite.
"It's okay. It's good for children to get some sunshine. I miss you so much that I have to make a fuss and pick you up at the door."
When Lin Laosan heard that his daughter was so considerate, he happily picked up Xiangyun and took a sip. He took out a garland of wild flowers on the roadside and put it on her head.
Xiangyun took it in her hand and saw that the garland was not only exquisite, but also exuded a faint floral fragrance, which made her extremely happy.
My dad is so skillful with his hands. Not only can he hunt, he can also be a carver and weave wreaths. He is truly a multi-talented person!
After the autumn harvest, the Lin family was not idle. Mrs. Lin took advantage of the absence of winter and quickly gathered the whole family to go to the back mountain to pick medicinal plants.
The charcoal pencil drew the shapes of medicinal herbs one after another on the old clothes, so that the sons and daughters-in-law could easily identify them when they went into the mountains.
The Lin family grew up running around in the mountains, so they can recognize common plants.
Plantain, poria, rushes are heat-clearing and diuretic...
Licorice and Platycodon for anti-inflammatory and cough relief...
Panax notoginseng and mugwort that warm menstruation and stop bleeding...
The people in Lianhua Village are ignorant of pharmacology, and common medicinal materials grow wildly all over the mountains. Boss Lin and others did not put in much effort. After a few days, they carried back basket after basket of medicinal herbs.
After simple processing, they were neatly placed in a dozen bamboo sieves prepared by Zheng in advance and stacked in the yard to bask in the sun.
Xiangyun has been thinking about grandma's leg injury recently. He took out a lot of useful medicinal materials from the space and mixed them with the herbs that everyone found, without being noticed by the family.
The acupuncture points on the legs were pricked twice a day in the morning and evening, and the decoction was taken orally. Within a week, the effect was remarkable.
Mrs. Lin's legs, which had almost no feeling at first, were now faintly aware of pain.
For example, in the past few days, the air has been humid and the weather has been gloomy. It looked like it was going to rain heavily, and Mrs. Lin felt soreness in her knee joints.
Xiangyun was overjoyed. It was a good thing to feel pain, which meant that the current treatment direction was correct.
Knees ache on rainy days, most likely due to lying in bed all year round and rheumatism due to old age.
She immediately hid in the pharmacy, picked out the needed medicinal materials, soaked them, powdered them and boiled them into a plaster.
Early the next morning, when Mrs. Lin was sorting out the medicinal materials with her granddaughter in her arms, three pairs of dark ointments appeared on the table.
She was used to her granddaughter taking out something from time to time. She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before picking it up and putting it to the tip of her nose.
"Angelica dahurica, Ligusticum chuanxiong, cinnamon...is this a rheumatism-removing plaster?"
Xiangyun said "Ahhh" twice, his eyes shining brightly.
Mrs. Lin smelled it carefully again and found that there were two unnamed herbs inside.
"There are two more flavors. Grandma didn't smell it. Abao, what did you add in it?"
"Yeah..." Xiangyun made a short sound and blew out bubbles helplessly. She couldn't say anything.
There are also cloves and cardamom in it. It's normal that Mrs. Lin doesn't recognize them. They are products introduced from Southeast Asia in later generations. That place is hot and humid, rich in animal and plant resources, and has many medicinal materials that are not available in China.
The newly added medicinal materials have improved the traditional rheumatism and pain relief cream and have significant effects on joint pain and other problems.
Mrs. Lin patted her forehead and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, I have forgotten that you can't speak. Our A'bao is so smart. Grandma often forgets that you are only a three-month-old baby!" "
Xiangyun was praised so much that he smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He got into grandma's arms and acted cute, which made Mrs. Lin forget about the soreness in her legs.
Because of the Lin family’s help, people in the Autumn Harvest Village felt a lot more relaxed this year. The villagers who received help came with large and small bags to thank them. Some gave rice, grains and flour, some gave eggs and mountain products, and the poorer ones gave home-brewed fruit wine. Or pickles…
The villagers who came to deliver things smelled a faint medicinal fragrance as soon as they walked into the Lin family's yard, and they couldn't help but take a look at the Lin family's new medical clinic.
It's not a big area, but it's well-equipped, with tables, chairs, benches, medicine racks and stoves...
Medicine was simmering on the stove, and the eldest grandson of the Lin family was waiting obediently aside, swinging a fan.
The medical clinic is in good shape, not as bad as the rumors in the village.
Villagers would inevitably ask a few questions, and Mrs. Lin would patiently answer them.
After Grandma Sun delivered a pottery vat of fruit wine made from green plums and was about to rush back, it suddenly started to rain heavily.
The path between Yangchang Village suddenly became muddy.
Mrs. Lin wanted to persuade Grandma Sun to stop the rain before leaving, but she refused and looked anxiously outside the courtyard.
"No, no, my old man has rheumatism. He gets sick whenever it rains. His legs hurt so much that he can't walk. I have to go back and take care of him."
Ms. Zhang picked up her umbrella and wanted to send it to Grandma Sun, but Mrs. Lin called her to stop her.
She picked up a dark ointment on the table and said: "Sister-in-law, I just made a few pairs of rheumatism and pain relief plasters in the past few days. I originally kept them for myself. If you don't mind, take them back and give them to me to try. "
Grandma Sun immediately wanted to take out her money bag, but Mrs. Lin stopped her.
"This is for you. Leave it on the painful area for a whole day. If it helps, come back tomorrow to change the dressing."
Granny Sun knew that the Lin family was soliciting business.
She originally wanted to help the Lin Family Medical Center, and took this opportunity. If the ointment worked, she would go to the village to promote it. If it didn't work... For the sake of the Lin family's son helping with farm work, she would have to get one tomorrow. trip!
After leaving the Lin family, Grandma Sun went home in the rain, and sure enough, Grandpa Sun was already screaming in pain on the bed.
Grandma Sun applied ointment to her husband as instructed, and a cold feeling swept through her body.
"How's it going? Old man."
After thinking about it for a while, Grandpa Sun shook his head: "Liang, there is no other feeling."
Grandma Sun was disappointed for a while, but half an hour later, Grandpa Sun noticed that his knees were warm, as if someone was holding a hot towel.
It lasted until before going to bed at night. The knee joints were warm and the pain was reduced a lot. People who used to be unable to sleep due to pain when it rained actually fell asleep to the sound of rain one night.
Early the next morning, Grandpa Sun woke up Grandma Sun from her sleep and said in surprise.
"Old lady, where did you get the ointment? It's very effective!"
