Double grabbing is a period of time, from the beginning of late July to the beginning of August, usually about half a month. When the Zhou family and Lejia's double grabbing ended on August 2, the double grabbing in Meicun was also basically over. .
After being snatched together, the whole village knew that Zhou Qiufeng and Yueqing were living together. Some of them talked about good things, and some talked about bad things. No matter what others said, the bad things went in one ear and went out the other. , kind-hearted care is given with a smile.
After the early rice was harvested, Zhou Qiufeng was busy drying the rice, taking care of the housework and poultry, and plowing the sweet potato vines; Classmate Le was relatively free, and the new mother did not let her do the work, and asked her to take care of her medicinal materials and drying mushrooms.
Enjoying the care of the new mother, Le was a good baby at home, drying the millet and feeding the chicks. Because the chicks hatched, she secretly changed the space water to feed the chicks and soaked the chicks with space well water. There were nineteen new-born chicks in total, all of them were healthy and did not die due to the heat.
At the same time, Le also secretly took out the sweet potato vines in the space to feed the piglets, and also replaced the beans, eggplants, and cabbages grown in the space with those grown at home, because pumpkins, peppers, etc. There is no seed in the space, so there is no need to change it.
The result of their robbery is that Leba and Zhou Qiufeng have a huge appetite every day, eat very deliciously, and are in very good spirits. Especially Zhou Qiufeng, who also engages in double robbery, not to mention the women and even the men. She lost several kilograms and looked tanned. She was in high spirits every day and became a little bit whiter. The villagers didn't know the reason, but they thought it was because she was married and newlyweds, so she was in good spirits.
Le Yun knew the reason and continued to change food for the family every day without making a sound. Of course, she did not dare to give the space well water to the new mother and father to drink. At present, the well water could not be given to her father. Drinking well water has the function of accelerating wound healing. Her father's leg injury was a malformation. Drinking well water will heal the wound better, which will make future surgeries more difficult.
The days are passing by, and in the middle of the month, autumn begins on August 7. A few days after autumn, the corn harvest will be about to happen.
The ginseng and angelica in the space are irrigated with well water three or four times a day, and their growth rate accelerates. One day and one night is a dry and prosperous period, and ten days is equivalent to ten years of growth.
Considering that the time to go to college is getting closer, Le classmate once again went deep into the mountains to dig for medicine. Although Le’s father and Zhou Qiufeng were worried, they still let her do whatever she wanted. What made them feel more at ease was that this time the girl did not go to Shennong Mountain, but only went to the mountains near the village to look for medicine.
To reassure people, Classmate Le accepted that the new mother would be sent to the foot of the mountain in the morning and call her family to pick her up when she came down the mountain in the evening.
The first time, when she went into the mountains early and came back late, someone in the village saw the girl from the Le family carrying a full basket with some fungi vaguely visible.
The next day, she went out late and came back late again, and some villagers saw her carrying a basket, as if there were fungi again; the third time, the villagers thought the fungi were in season, and they also went there in twos and threes. Run in the mountains.
When Dad Le and Zhou Qiufeng heard that people in the village were running to pick up fungi, they remained silent. They would never tell anyone about him.Our girl actually went digging for medicinal materials. Although she came back with mushrooms every day, the quantity was very small.
The fourth time I went to the mountains, classmate Le stayed in the mountains for three days. When he called to pick him up, Zhou Qiufeng picked him up at the foot of the back mountain in Shangzhuang Township, and the child got a basket. Herbs and turkey tail mushrooms.
Zhou Qiufeng's expression at that time was ""No one else has ever found a bunch of fungi when they went all over the mountain. Their girl never found anything empty-handed every time she went up the mountain. This needs to be known, okay. Next time we go into the mountains, there must be a long line of people behind Lele.
It was the 17th when she returned from the mountains. Le Yun had a night's rest and started making medicine the next day. Le's father and Zhou Qiufeng were completely unable to help. One went to work and the other went to the field. She was alone at home with no one prying , she washed the pot and put it on the fire pit, and poured the medicinal materials that had been processed in the space into the pot to boil.
Every time she goes into the mountains, she digs up some commonly used medicines, then goes into the space to find the medicinal materials used to make medicines, chops them, peels the tendons, and does the preliminary processing, and takes them out from the space every time she returns home. Some common medicinal materials can be dried in the shade or sun at home.
If you make enough preparations in advance, you won’t be in a hurry when making medicine.
Throwing the medicinal materials on the fire and stewing them, Le Yun went to the backyard to find a medicine pounder. The medicine pounder was actually called a medicine mortar. It was made of stone and had a recessed place in the middle where you could put things and use it to pound rice. etc. The medicine mortar is a tool specially used for grinding medicine.
Lejia’s stone mortar was bought by Grandpa Le from someone else. It is made of blue-white stone. The concave part in the middle is oblong. It is equipped with a grinding wheel. It is also made of stone for grinding. There is a Make a round hole, put a wooden stick in it, put it in a stone mortar, you can step on it with your feet or push it by hand.
When Grandpa Zi Le passed away, the stone mortar was placed under the eaves of the pig pen behind the house.
Le Yun found the medicine mortar and scanned it with X-ray eyes. Except for the joint parts of its structure, which emitted various colors of light, there was also a layer of very light and weak white light.
The white light is spiritual energy, but
Silently, Le Yun sighed, knowing that the medicine mortar was a spiritual thing, and she couldn’t lose space. It’s hard to understand such a big thing. The secret is that no matter how careless her father is, he will find out and she won't be able to tell the lie when asked.
The stone mortar is not small, it is more than two feet long, the edge is about ten centimeters thick, and weighs about eighty pounds. It takes two people to lift it on weekdays.
Classmate Le easily picked up the stone mortar, moved it to the pool in front of the house, and gave it a bath. He washed it over and over again from the inside to the outside. After washing it clean, he put it in the sun to dry. .
He then went into the kitchen to add firewood, turned on the induction cooker, put in a pot, and fried the glutinous rice in two large plates until the rice turned slightly yellow.
After frying the rice and drying it in the stone mortar, she moved it to the hall. Le Yun poured the rice into the concave mortar, put it in the grinding wheel, moved a chair to sit on it, wiped her feet clean, and stepped on the grinding wheel stick. Grind the rice vigorously.
The grinding wheel rolls and grinds the rice grains, making a dense and fine cracking sound. The fried rice is broken and then ground into powder, first coarse and then fine.
Classmate Le kept stepping on the grinding wheel and rolling it back and forth. After a while, he went to the kitchen to light the fire.Go back and grind the powder again, grind two large plates of rice into fine powder, take out the mortar, seal it, pour some sun-dried medicine into the trough, and grind the medicine powder again.
Zhou Qiufeng went to the ground to plow sweet potato vines and pull weeds. The Zhou family returned the field to Lejia, and naturally the land was not planted because it was just the middle of the year and the crops in the field were not mature yet. Anyway, they would be harvested after autumn. When we come back, we have to divide the land. Brother Zhou will allocate a few pieces of land for his sister to manage, and he will manage a few pieces. After the autumn harvest, he will give the land to the Le family, and next year it will all be managed by the Le family.
Zhou Qiufeng is the daughter-in-law of the Le family and the housewife. She is in charge of the fields. The millet at home has been dried. She goes to see the field water in the morning and then goes to work in the fields. Remembering that there are girls at home who are making medicine, she Finish work early and go home at eleven o'clock.
Before she entered the house, she smelled a strong smell of medicine. She was afraid that the dust on her body might contaminate the medicine if she came home, so she threw the sweet potato vine she brought back at the backyard door. , and then patted herself from head to toe several times before going home. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Xiao Lele pounding medicine. She couldn't help but be happy when she saw it, "Lele, has your medicine been made?"
"Aunt Feng, you're back." Le Yun turned around and saw the new mother, her eyes widened, "Not yet, we just started today, it's still early, it will take about two or three days to complete."
"Hey, it takes so many days." Zhou Qiufeng was very surprised and entered the house quietly.
"Three or two days is not enough. If the medicinal materials are not chopped and ground into powder, it will take seven or eight days to stew and melt."
"Oh" Zhou Qiufeng could only sigh. , this doctor really needs talent. If she and Yueqing were asked to sort out those things, they would definitely not have the care and patience. They would probably forget everything, and they would not even be able to remember the names of the medicines.
I washed my face and went into the kitchen. The rice cooker tripped. Then I looked at the fire burning in the fire pit. The big pot for steaming things squatted on the pot shelf. There was a stone on top of the lid, and the lid was pressed hard. It was so tight that even steam could not come out, and there was a sound of boiling water coming from the pot.
Probably because from the end of June to the beginning of July, God shed all his tears. Since late July, most parts of the country have had little rain. From late June to early August, there has been no heavy rain in Fang County, only three or two rains. It was drizzling a little, and it was still the kind of shower that rains while the sun shines.
Because there is no rain, the rice straw placed on the rice field ridges or in the open air dries quickly. Most villagers have moved the straw home, and the corn seedlings also wither quickly. The harvest will begin in mid-August. , now everyone dries corn on the cob, dries it and threshes it in a machine instead of manually breaking it.
Because the weather was sunny and the sun was strong at noon, Zhou Qiufeng was not in a hurry to go to work, and she had no share in the child's work. She used an induction cooker to boil water, caught a duck, slaughtered it, ironed and washed it. Save half to eat at night and half to cook.
Wait until noon, when there were living villagers in the fields, they went to work.
The day passed quickly. When Le’s father came home from get off work, he saw the caring little cotton-padded jacket pounding medicine. He and his wife took care of the housework, and the children did not need to worry about anything. Because they had to boil medicine at night, Naturally, someone wanted to take care of the fire, so Le Dad and Zhou Qiufeng fought to keep vigil. As a result, they were defeated two to one and were driven to bed by their children.
Classmate Le will never let her father and new mother stay overnight. She has to add medicine to the medicine pot. Some of the medicine is placed in space. The water used for medicine is also space well water. Of course, it cannot be seen by others.
Le’s father and Zhou Qiufeng were lying on the bed, listening to the sounds in the kitchen, and fell asleep unconsciously.
After confirming that everyone in the family was asleep, Leyun jumped into the space and went to take care of her one-third-acre land. After finishing her work, she went out to light a fire, returned to the space to meditate, and went out again after a while. Light a fire, add herbs, add water, return to space, and so on.
At dawn, Le Yun woke up from meditation and looked at the medicinal field first. She was so happy that she immediately kicked three feet high. Small matsutake mushrooms grew where they used to grow
< p>Matsutake mushrooms are very small, with only small heads sprouting out. They are numerous and cover an extremely wide area, several meters wider than when they were planted before. This proves that when old matsutake mushrooms bloom, the spores fly far away.At first, after harvesting the first batch of matsutake mushrooms, the place was empty. There had been no response for more than ten days. Leyun was not in a hurry and watered it every other day.
Under natural conditions, it takes five or six years for matsutake spores to infiltrate into the ground and grow into a solid body. The soil in space has magical power. New matsutake mushrooms will grow in only twenty days, which is equivalent to shortening the life of matsutake by dozens of times. time.
"The life of cheating is so happy"
Standing outside the medicine field, Le Yun touched the back of her head and giggled. Matsutake can reproduce freely in the medicine field. I will have endless children and grandchildren, and there will be no shortage of matsutake mushrooms in my life. If I can’t eat them all, I can sell them
Matsutake mushrooms represent a lot of money
Classmate Le is happy to see this His eyebrows were blinded, his mouth was grinning widely, and the corners of his mouth were almost reaching the roots of his ears. He was laughing happily, thinking that it was already dawn and the new mother was about to get up, so he no longer cared about the medicine field and hurriedly stepped out of the room.
As soon as she returned to the kitchen, she heard a slight knock on the door. Leyun knew it was Aunt Feng who had gotten up, and she couldn't help but sweat. Fortunately, she reacted quickly. If she had indulged in it, she would have played Dafa.
Actually, Zhou Qiufeng woke up at dawn and heard that there was no movement at home. She was afraid that if Lele happened to be sleeping and woke up too early and disturbed the child, she lay down for a while and waited for the day. Get up when the sun shines.
She first opened the door gently, took a towel and toothbrush and went to the sink to wash herself. Then she tiptoed back to the house. When she saw her child going to the living room to get medicinal materials, she put away her caution and asked if there was any medicine last night. Take a nap and go to the kitchen to make something to eat.
Immediately afterwards, Dad Le also got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth. He ran into the kitchen and volunteered to help the girl light the fire. Breathable.
The family of three happily had breakfast. Le’s father drove his tricycle and easily went to work. As soon as he reached the village, he was stopped by the village chief.
The village chief is also a person with the surname Zhou. He is the same generation as Grandma Zhou. He will turn sixty next year. He is very energetic and looks to be about the same age as Dad Le. Village Chief Zhou stopped Dad Le and asked with a fierce face. "Yueqing, let me ask you, when will you show up?Zhuangyuanjiu, it's almost the end of the month, and your girl is going to the capital soon. You haven't responded yet, and I'm so anxious. "
"Uh, this, this, Uncle Zhou Man, I'm not going to set up a table. "Le's father is very embarrassed. He has been asked by so many people these days when a banquet will be set up to entertain guests. He is almost embarrassed.
"What, no banquet will be set up?" Village Chief Zhou almost slapped Hu Le's father on the head. "You bastard, my village has never produced a top scholar since ancient times. It's not easy for your girl to go to high school, but you don't hold a banquet to celebrate. It's not a good idea to save money. Lele has grown such a big leg for us idiots. Face, please set up a few tables, let's go to the village to support them, and a family can contribute a hundred yuan, which is enough for Lele to eat for a year. ”
“Uncle Zhou Man, don’t scold me. It’s me and my girl who won’t let us set the table. You know Lele’s temper. If there is a table, there will be no table. "
Village Chief Zhou waved his hand over, and Le's father shrank his neck. He would not make fun of the village chief. Back then, his leg was broken and he was decadent every day. The village chief's uncle slapped him, He was scolded, but now the village chief has a fierce look on his face, and he looks a little frightened.
“It was Lele’s decision.”
“It was Lele’s intention. "
"What is Lele doing these days?"
"Lele is making some tonic pills at home. She started making the medicine yesterday and it may take two days to finish. . ”
“Hey, Lele is dispensing medicine hahaha, Yueqing, your girl is more promising than you, our village may even have a miracle doctor in the future, forget it, get out, look at you like this I just want to call you a few times. I will go to see the young champion in my village in a few days. "
"Hey" Le's dad drove away in his car as if he was pardoned.
Le's dad only breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the workshop. Unexpectedly, he breathed a sigh of relief too early. After getting off work in the evening, Boss Wu stopped him again and immediately asked, "Brother Le, when will you set the table? I waited around until my hair turned gray." "
"Boss Wu, my little cotton-padded jacket is not allowed to have a banquet, so I won't treat you. Please bear with me. ”
“Ah, what date will Xiao Lele go to school without setting up a table?”
“Qingdao University will start welcoming new students on the 28th. Lele did not get the tickets after the 28th, but only got 27 No., I plan to leave home on the 26th. ”
“Which car to take and what time it leaves and what time it arrives. Try not to take the bus to Beijing in the middle of the night. No one will pick you up in the middle of the night. The girl’s home is not safe.” "
"I grabbed a second-class high-speed rail ticket. The train departed at around 8 a.m. and arrived at the station around 2:30 p.m. "
"That's good. I'm going back to the provincial capital to visit my old mother at the end of the month, so I'll take your girl with me. I remember that the 27th and 28th are weekends, so you should also go and give your girl a lift. "
"Okay, I'll go back and tell the little cotton-padded jacket that I'll be lucky to ride on your ride. I hope you have a smooth journey. "Le's father felt hot in his heart and nodded heavily. He knew that Boss Wu specifically wanted to send his girl to the provincial capital to help him save some fares. Because he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, he considerately said that he was going home to see his mother.Please give them a ride.
Boss Wu smiled and patted Le's father on the shoulder, asking him to go home quickly.
Le’s dad was deeply impressed by the experience. When he returned home, he saw his wife slaughtering a chicken and scalding it. He felt heartbroken again. He had a caring little cotton-padded jacket, met a good boss, and became middle-aged. There is also a good wife. Even though she has suffered for more than ten years, her life is still perfect.
Zhou Qiufeng felt sorry for her child who had to stay up late to make medicine. She slaughtered chickens and ducks to replenish the child's health. Le's father parked the car and went to help. The couple cleaned the chickens and went home to cook.
When it was time to eat, Le’s father told a mother and daughter that he met the village chief and Boss Wu in the morning and told them to take their children to the provincial capital. Le Yun readily agreed, “Okay, I’ll take Boss Wu’s There are plenty of seats in the car. Dad and Aunt Feng will go together. We will go to the provincial capital to visit the night market."
"Okay, I'll go too and let my mother help us feed the pigs for two days," Zhou Qiufeng said happily. happy.
Le’s father nodded happily. They just had a girl like this. Instead of sending her to the capital, they could send her child to the provincial capital, and she would have less regrets when thinking about it in the future.
That night, it was still Le who stayed up late to watch the fire. It had been more than two days, but Le’s father and Zhou Qiufeng still hadn’t seen what the medicine in the pot looked like. Every time they came home, they would see rocks pressing on the pot. , I can only smell a little bit of medicinal smell oozing out, and the aroma is very good.
On the evening of the third day, the couple found that only one of the ginseng and angelica trees that their children had planted in the back garden was left, and the rest were missing. They thought they had been quietly stolen by someone, but they found out in the evening that they had been stolen. Lele pulled it and threw it into the pot for medicinal purposes.
That night, it was another all-nighter.
Le’s father and Zhou Qiufeng got up early in the morning and saw that the pot was still simmering on the fire. They couldn’t help but sweat. The medicine was so durable. They didn’t dare to ask more questions for fear of affecting the child’s mood.
That day was the 21st, and classmate Le’s aunt was preparing for the day in the morning. She had no choice but to endure the discomfort and stay up until eight o’clock in the morning. The large pot, which can only hold a bucket of water, contains a layer of concoction, which is like jelly and is lighter than black and dark green in color.
Without saying anything, Classmate Le took out a large plate of filtered green concoction from the space and poured it in, then added a few bowls of space well water, covered it with a stone, and then boiled it.
After boiling for an hour, open the lid again. There is a layer of thick juice in the pot. Place four large soup bowls and a small porcelain bowl. Use a spoon to put the concoction into the bowls and cover the bowls. , poured a few more concoctions into the pot, and boiled it again.
After simmering for half an hour, the medicine in the pot is as thick as kneaded dough, thick but not solidified.
After turning on the pot and putting it on the stove, Le Yun took out a ceramic basin, poured some finely ground rice powder, poured the concoction in the pot into the ceramic basin, and poured a few bowls into the pot. For the concoction in the space, pour the concoction that you scooped out earlier into two bowls, cover it and simmer again. While watching, add rice flour into the ceramic basin, stir constantly until it forms a ball like dough. , then knead it into balls about the size of pigeon eggs, put them in a sieve to cool, after kneading, fill two sieves, and put them on a shelf in the living room to cool.
Looking back again, the concoction boiled on the fireIt was almost done. She boiled the medicinal soup until it became thick and put it on the fire. Then she poured it out, put the pot on the fire and added the medicinal juice. She poured the last two bowls of medicinal juice out of the spoon into it and let it continue to simmer. She mixed the rice flour and kneaded the dough. , pinch balls.
The second batch of pills is relatively small and can be filled with only one dustpan. After kneading the second batch of pills and then kneading the third batch, there is still only one dustpan.
All the medicine in the four large soup bowls was used up, and only the medicine in the small porcelain bowl was still there. When I was boiling the third pot of medicine, I took out another spoonful and put it in again, but it cooled down. Then store it in space.
Shape the balls, clean the pots and pans, pour the water into a basin and put it in the house, then take the pots and bowls outside to clean. After cleaning the tools, Le classmate lay on the table in the living room and watched. The pills are cold.
That day was the weekend, and Le’s father also went to the fields to weed weeds. Zhou Qiufeng was afraid that the girl would be hungry, so he finished work at eleven o’clock and went home to cook. He smelled a very fragrant fragrance from afar, and quickly washed his face and hands. I ran towards home and when I got to the door I saw a few long benches with sticks on them, sieves and dustpans on them, and round meatballs, some gray and some ebony.
Little Lele lay on the table, looking eagerly at the door. When she saw herself, she showed a big smile and ran quickly, "Lele, you succeeded."
"Yes, it's done." Le Yun lay lazily on the table, smiling so brightly that she showed her good teeth. When the new mother came closer, she stood up and dragged her to see the results.
"Lele, what is this for?"
"Aunt Feng, I mainly do it for you. You have gynecological inflammation. I will help you prepare the side medicine. I will start taking it after my period. I will take the medicine from the sieve first, and then take it with warm water before going to bed."
" Give it to me." Zhou Qiufeng's heart tightened and her nose felt a little sore.
"Yes, I checked your pulse and observed your complexion, eyes and tongue coating for several days. You have severe gynecological inflammation and some stomach problems. After taking this medicine, I’ll see the results when I get back from the winter vacation.”
Le Yun has observed Aunt Feng since her eyes had X-ray scanning function. Aunt Feng’s ovaries were weak, her eggs were small and weak, and her uterus was inflamed. Such a situation. It was difficult to have children. Of course she didn't tell the truth, otherwise Aunt Feng would be sad.
"" There were hot drops of water rolling in Zhou Qiufeng's eyes. Xiao Lele stayed up for three days and three nights to help her prepare the medicine. This kindness is more precious than gold. All she can do is take care of her. Good boy and Yueqing give father and daughter no worries.
