Chapter Three Pounding Medicine

Xia Fugui has a total of four brothers, all living nearby. Except for the fourth brother, Xia Kanggui, whose family is slightly better off, the other four brothers are very poor. For example, Xia Yungui's family is also poor. The couple is not young, but their children are all poor.

They are still young, the youngest is less than two years old, and the eldest daughter is fifteen years old. There are five children in the family, the four eldest are all girls, and a son is behind them.

Xia Yungui's family is a bit better than Xia Feier's family. Although there is nothing at home, at least they can fill their stomachs with two meals a day, and Xia Yungui's wife is also considered a capable person, but there are still too many children at home.

So we are still extremely poor.

However, the relationship between Xia Yungui's family and Xia Feier's family is the best. Usually, they have to help with everything at home. However, Xia Yungui's wife, Mrs. Gao, also despises Xia Feier's sister-in-law, Mrs. Chen, so she usually doesn't care about anything big.

He won't come to the yard of Xia Feier's house. Xia Feier usually takes Baozhu to walk around her house.

Xia Yungui looked at Baozhu's feet and shouted at that time: "What's going on? How come this child's feet are so burned? You guys are so careless. Hey, I brought some herbs, you give them to him

Apply it. I will send him some herbs every day. Be sure to apply it well, otherwise the leg will become rotten. If it does, your life will not be saved. You should also be careful not to let his feet touch dirty things.

Something like that.”

Xia Feier nodded. Although she didn't understand medicine, she still knew some basic common sense, that is, she had to pay attention to hygiene and not let Baozhu's feet get infected, or else they would have to have their legs amputated. But at this time, there was no need for amputation.

If he amputes his limbs, he will definitely be dead. If he secretly hides the salt shaker later and washes him with some salt in boiling water every day, it should still have some effect.

Xia Yungui stayed here for a while, told Xia Fei'er a few words and then went back, saying that there was something else going on in the fields at home, so he sent Xia Yungui away. Xia Fei'er asked Bao Zhu to lie down on the bed well.

It still needs to be pounded. There are a lot of herbs and they can't be broken with ordinary things.

Yes, Xia Feier remembered that there was a pestle in the corner of the yard. Since there is this, there must be a stone mortar. This thing is matching. Xia Feier saw people using this thing when she was in her hometown in her previous life, so

Know the use of this.

Xia Feier searched in the yard, and sure enough she found a stone mortar in the corner of the yard. Xia Feier brought water and washed it inside and out. She wanted to pick up the pestle and hammer to pound the herbs, but she had no choice.

My strength is too weak and I can't lift it at all. All the men in the family must have gone out by now.

Just when she was in a dilemma, Xia Feier saw that damn Xia Tiezhu walking over carelessly and asked: "What are you doing? Are you going to fight with your sister-in-law with a pestle? Don't think about it, you are so small."

, can’t beat her.”

Xia Feier rolled her eyes. This man obviously looks human-like, so why doesn't he speak human language? However, he is indeed good-looking, with a soft face and delicate facial features, as if they were carved by an artist.

Same, sharp edges, thick long eyebrows, straight into the temples, pretty nose, eyes as dark as inky jade, even if he is wearing patched clothes, it seems that these advantages cannot be concealed, this damn man is a monster,

How could a woman be allowed to live when she looks like this? Xia Feier cursed secretly without hesitation.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Do you want to go?" The person on the side raised his hand in front of Xia Feier.

Only then did Xia Feier react. She couldn't help but despise herself. She was so infatuated. This man was her biological fourth brother. How could she have any wrong thoughts? Xia Feier coughed to cover up and said, "Why should I fight? Well, I want to pound the medicine for Baozhu, but this one is too heavy and I can’t lift it. Here it is, come on."

Xia Feier said and handed the pestle in her hand to Xia Tiezhu. Xia Tiezhu laughed softly and said while laughing: "I told you, you still have the courage."

Xia Feier glanced at him and was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. She had been here for a few days and she felt a little strange. This fourth brother was a little different from the people in the family. What exactly was different? Xia Feier couldn't tell, but Anyway, it's a bit strange. First of all, his appearance is a little different from the other brothers in the family. The other men in the family are all tall and tall. Although they are a little thin due to long-term malnutrition, they all have big frames, and All of them are quite thick and thick, and even the treasure pillars are so small, they can be seen.

This fourth brother's appearance can be described as quite beautiful. If in the previous life, this person could have made a living with his face alone. He is not like his father, he should be like his mother, but it doesn't seem like it, Xia Fei My son felt that her body should be shaped like her mother's. On the day she first came here, she took a photo of herself with water. It was an ordinary face. Except for a pair of bigger eyes, there was nothing special about it. , which means that the fourth brother does not look like his mother. The only explanation is that he absorbed all the advantages of the two of them. I passed it all down to this fourth brother, he is really better than his master.

Although Xia Tiezhu didn't look very strong, he was a man after all and still had a lot of strength. He waved the pestle a few times and the herbs were almost chopped. Xia Feier called Xia Tiezhu and hugged Baozhu, fearing that he would If you move around when it hurts, the herbs will be wasted. Xia Feier went to the house to find a clean cloth, wrapped the herbs in it and went into the house to apply it on Baozhu. Baozhu grimaced in pain, but he still held it back. Didn't cry out.

Xia Feier patted Baozhu on the head and said, "Good boy, well done, so brave."

Baozhu endured the pain and smiled at Xia Feier. After a while, he said pitifully: "Sister, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten yet this morning. Is there anything to eat? Didn't dad kill a pig this morning? , there must be meat, how about we make dumplings to eat?"

"Want to eat dumplings?" Xia Feier asked Baozhu with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, I haven't eaten it for a long time. The last time I ate it was during the Chinese New Year. I really want to eat it, but sister, if we eat this meat, my sister-in-law will definitely scold me. Otherwise, let's forget it." Zhu's voice became softer as he spoke.

"You can eat whatever you want. Let's just eat dumplings today. Who cares about her? If she comes, you want her to ask me for it. I don't believe she can do anything to me. Just lie down on the bed and I'll go find the meat." ." Xia Feier said disapprovingly.

Xia Tiezhu held his hands in front of his chest and leaned against the door frame. Listening to the conversation between Xia Feier and Baozhu, Xia Tiezhu felt that this girl seemed to have changed a lot in the past two days. In the past, this girl would only lower her head every day. When my eldest sister-in-law is doing things, she doesn't dare to go to the west. Even if the meat of a butchered pig is placed in front of her, she doesn't dare to eat it. Now she dares to say these things.

Moreover, Xia Tiezhu heard what happened this morning very clearly. This girl actually provoked her sister-in-law repeatedly. Moreover, after Baozhu's foot was burned, if his father hadn't jumped at him with a knife, the earthen pot in this girl's hand might have been I left it to my sister-in-law. Now she is probably soaked all over her body. What's going on with this girl? Her appearance hasn't changed. Did she suffer some stimulation?

After Xia Feier finished talking to Baozhu, she turned around and asked Xia Tiezhu in a flattering manner: "Fourth brother, do you know where the meat from the pigs my father killed is kept?"

"You want me to get it?" Xia Tiezhu asked, raising his eyebrows.

"No, just tell me, I'll go by myself, but you have to help me make dumplings. I'm not very good at it, can you?" Xia Feier still said with a smile.

"You don't agree so quickly, so why are you making dumplings? Why don't you just stew the meat and give it to Baozhu?"

"But Baozhu wants to eat dumplings, so I can't roll the noodles. I can do everything else."

This girl doesn't know how to roll noodles? It seems so. She really didn't know how to roll noodles before making dumplings. It was all done by her sister-in-law.

Xia Tiezhu thought for a while, nodded, and then asked: "Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will scold you if you eat the meat?"

"Let's talk about it after eating. Why is there such a problem? Let's go quickly. Otherwise, if you want to eat later, you won't be able to eat it. What do you think you, a grown man, are doing so slowly?" Xia Feier said impatiently. He walked towards the yard.

Xia Tiezhu stared at the back of Xia Feier's head, grinding his teeth resentfully for a while. He actually dared to say that he was rubbing his head. This girl was really going to be shaken. But she was right, she had to hurry up while her sister-in-law didn't dare to come out now. , I really won’t have anything to eat if I wait.

Xia Tiezhu hurriedly followed him out and took out a strip of meat from a basket under the pot house. Xia Feier saw that the meat weighed about three or four kilograms. With the addition of cabbage and other fillings, the dumplings could be made for the three of her. She couldn't finish the meal, and she didn't care about the others.

The eldest brother and his family must have had all the meat in their stomachs before. This time, they won’t have any share of the family. The father must have gone out to gamble. The second brother and the third brother sent the pig to the owner’s house, where lunch must be. After eating, thinking about Xia Feier, she cut the meat strips in half and left some to stew for Bao Zhu to eat. Bao Zhu was still young and needed to eat more meat to be nutritious.

Xia Feier asked Xia Tiezhu to knead and roll the dough, cut the meat and then slowly chopped the stuffing. At this time, Xia Feier was glad that she was not a person who could only eat for food in her previous life. Xia Feier's family in her previous life was also from a rural area, and her parents were there She went out to work when she was in junior high school. She was boarding in school at that time, and when she came back on weekends, she would cook for her younger brother. Basically, Xia Feier's cooking skills were developed since she was a child, and she later graduated from college. Later, I went to work outside and lived alone. After work, I would buy groceries and cook home. Speaking of which, my cooking skills were quite good. If I didn’t even know how to cook, I wouldn’t know how I would survive here.
