On this day, Mr. Lin came back from the mountain and learned about his eldest son's ability to identify herbal medicines. He happily patted him on the shoulder.
"I was still thinking about who in the family can inherit my mother's mantle. Now it's better. God can distinguish herbs that even adults can't distinguish at a glance. This is called talent!"
Mrs. Zhang made the mattress and handed her husband a handkerchief to wipe his face.
"Mom took the test today. He has memorized the names of all the herbs we have at home! Some of the herbs even have medicinal properties."
There was a sense of pride in her tone. In the past, she had always felt that her eldest son was not good at studying. Her brother-in-law taught several other children in the family to read. She was the oldest, and could recite as many poems as Tian Rui.
Because of this incident, she was often ridiculed by Zhao Ruoxia. Today she finally regained her composure. She excitedly held her son's face with both hands and rubbed it several times.
From that day on, Lin Tianci took over Zhang's job of taking care of the herbal medicines. Old Mrs. Lin called him forward whenever she had time, and was not greedy for more. She introduced two or three kinds of medicinal materials every day. On the second day, she asked her grandson to repeat what he learned yesterday. To strengthen.
In just a few days, Lin Tianci had memorized the habits of all the medicinal materials dried in the courtyard.
Even Xiangyun couldn't help but applaud her eldest brother, otherwise she would say that children's brains are so good. It took her three months to memorize "Shen Nong's Materia Medica".
Suddenly, a certain episode from her past life came to her mind.
During her lunch break, she passed by the pharmacy one time and saw that the medicine-dispensing window was idle, and the little intern girl who was dispensing medicine was holding a book and studying hard.
After asking, she found out that she was going to take a certificate exam, and the book she was holding in her hand was "Shen Nong's Materia Medica".
If the pharmacy is there, will the book come with it?
She immediately closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep, but consciously walked into the pharmacy and rummaged through the cabinets.
Sure enough, Xiangyun found this book in a certain cabinet.
After flipping through it, I found that just like in my memory, the book records the appearance and medicinal value of hundreds of medicinal materials. There are many pictures but few words, which is especially suitable for beginners to understand medicinal materials.
Xiangyun turned his head, thinking about what method to use, and handed the medical book to his elder brother without anyone noticing.
I also remembered that the characters in this era were much different from those in the previous life. They were more like distorted traditional Chinese characters. If the book fell into the hands of the elder brother, would he be able to understand it?
Just as she frowned and thought, a cry sounded in her ears.
"Chiji..."
Xiangyun opened her eyes, and a little yellow-orange furry thing jumped on her, warm and soft.
It was actually a chick that had just been hatched a few days ago.
"Auntie, my family doesn't have much food. Can I trade these three little chickens with you for plasters?"
The speaker was Chun Sheng, who had disappeared for several days. It turned out that he had not come to change the dressing for so many days because he was waiting for the hen at home to apply it to the chicks!
Only then did Xiangyun realize that he had brought a total of three chicks, one was jumping in her cradle, and the other two were in Lin Tianfu's hands.
He didn't know what he was feeding them, but the two chicks pecked at his palm obediently, tickling him so much that he couldn't stop giggling, but he couldn't bear to put the chicks down.
"Milk, I like chickens. Let's keep them at home. When they grow up, they can hatch eggs and produce chicks to sell for money."
"Chickens need to eat grain and insects." Mrs. Lin asked Chunsheng to sit down and teased her grandson. "The family couldn't spare any time to take care of them, so they starved to death accidentally."
Tianfu was afraid that grandma would send the chicks away, so he hurriedly responded: "I can save the ones in my bowl, or I can go find worms in the fields and feed them."
The little man, afraid that Mrs. Lin wouldn't agree, was like an old hen guarding its young, so he circled the chicks on his chest, making everyone laugh.
Zhang didn't expect that Tianfu kept the chickens at home, not in the chicken coop behind the east wing, but on his bedside. He was so curious that he wanted to hold them while sleeping at night.
As time went by, the smell of chicken excrement that filled the room finally made Mrs. Zhang angry. She carried three chickens in her left hand and a lucky chicken in her right hand, and threw them together into the chicken coop behind the wing.
The Lin family's medical clinic joined Granny Sun and Chunsheng's propaganda, and the villagers gradually became less repulsive.
Many villagers who suffered from back pain like Chunsheng began to come to the door one after another carrying food.
Those who have used the plaster say that the doctor of the Lin family has a wonderful rejuvenation effect. Those who have not used it say that the Lin family is a lion trying to steal money. When it comes to the Ding family, there are even less good things to say.
"You are crazy thinking about money. One patch of plaster costs two kilograms of grain. Why don't the Lin family go to the mountains to become bandits? Foreigners who have never seen the world! There are so many people in the village rushing to be taken advantage of. They have money to burn. !”
Ding Maoshan sat in the yard chewing peanuts, still resenting the fact that the Lin family had helped the deaf Cao family last time. In addition, Qing Niang had been cold and indifferent to him recently, and Widow Qian kept asking him if he wanted this or that, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
In the room, Ge Shi was lying on the bed again and yelled out in pain.
Because the old man passed away some time ago, she became seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed.
It happened to be the autumn harvest, so I told my son to harvest the rice before the rainy season.
Ding Maoshan promised well with her front legs, but no one was seen on her back legs. She dragged her sick body to work in the fields, and finally finished harvesting the rice with the help of the villagers, but her old problem of back pain returned.
I heard that the new Lin family in the village was good at curing back pain, so she asked her son to buy a pair of plasters. However, her son not only refused to go, but also scolded her for being pretentious, so she simply got up and went to find a doctor.
"Dr. Lin, if you are capable, the pain in your back is really much better after the injection. When I go back, I will ask Mao Shan to pay the consultation fee."
Old Mrs. Lin put another plaster on Ge Shi's waist, and the two chatted for a while. Old Mrs. Lin saw that she was a generous person, so she didn't hide it and just spoke out.
"Sister Ge, don't worry about the medical expenses. I have something very important that I would like to ask you to help me with."
Ge Shi was confused as to what she could do to help.
"My family has been in Lianhua Village for about a month. When we bought a house before, Village Chief Ding said that after the farming season is over, he would help my family find a few acres of fertile land. You see... half a month has passed since the autumn harvest, and there has been no movement. Did you encounter any difficulties? Or was the management fee given at that time a little less..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ge knew that there was still this problem, but her son had never mentioned it in front of her, and she had never seen him take any action. It was obvious that he had no intention of allocating land to the Lin family.
I felt angry and resentful at the same time. I was annoyed that my son had accepted other people's hard work but had no credit at all. I resented my poor upbringing for giving birth to a child who didn't respect his parents and was lazy to eat.
Who would have thought that she and her husband would have children in old age and end up raising such a thing.
She hurriedly ran home and blocked her son at the door to question him.
Unexpectedly, Ding Maoshan not only did not admit his mistake, but also felt that the Lin family had sinister intentions and that his mother could not tell the difference between the inside and the outside.
"Mom! Why are you talking to outsiders? It's not that I can't do anything with the money, it's that there is no free land in the village at all. The villagers all think that there are too many people in the family but too little land. If the Lin family has the ability, they will go from house to house to persuade them. Who is willing to sell? I will never stop you!"
Ding Maoshan put down his words and went out to find money for the widow without looking back.
When the Lin family heard the news, they were so angry that smoke was coming out of their nostrils.
Xiangyun lay on Zheng's back, also very angry, punching the air with his little fists.
