Chapter 64

Du Xuan does plan to go to Beimian Mountain, but maybe not today.

There are indeed more things on the mountain to the north than elsewhere, and because the women don't dare to go there, the men don't look down on the odds and ends, and are probably heading for more valuable prey.

So Du Xuan put some thought into it. The sudden appearance of the blind bear did scare her last time, but there were always more solutions than difficulties.

Du Xuan was thinking about finding time to make some herbal packs to repel insects and beasts to try the effect.

In her previous life, she didn't always treat people's illnesses and save lives year-round. Sometimes when she was really tired, she would hide in her ancestral home in the mountains for a while.

Then during that relaxing time, she would tinker with all kinds of food and some gadgets like this. After all, in the mountains, it is quite important to repel insects and beasts.

This is where her cooking and life skills come from.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Qi Xiaobao asked in a low voice when he saw that she had not spoken.

Although he likes to play with Sun Taotao, Xiaobao is actually quite insecure. This is not surprising. Any child or even an adult will feel insecure in the world as long as he can't see.

Staying in a familiar environment gives him a sense of security.

Now that he was going to a strange environment, someone else's home. Even if he was going to play with Sun Taotao, Qi Xiaobao felt insecure.

If a child has any small thoughts or emotions, they cannot hide them in his voice.

Du Xuan quickly heard some slight uneasiness in his voice.

"I didn't think about anything. I just wanted to go up the mountain and find you some delicious food today." Du Xuan said.

This topic really eased Qi Xiaobao's uneasiness a lot, "The chestnuts were particularly delicious last time!"

Du Xuan thought for a while, "I wonder if there are any more chestnuts. If not, I'll look for something else. Speaking of which... last time I seemed to have seen a few camellia trees that were about to burst."

"Camellia cracked fruit?" Xiaobao was very curious, "What is that? Can it be eaten?"

He paused and asked again, "Is it delicious?"

Du Xuan laughed, "I was just thinking about eating it. I'll go and have a look. If we can really find a way to get the camellia oil out, our cooking will be delicious in the future!"

In her previous life, she didn't like peanut oil, sunflower seed oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, soybean oil, etc. She thought tea oil was delicious and fragrant when cooking!

So Du Xuan was already thinking about those camellia trees when she went up the mountain last time. The seeds were not yet ripe at that time.

People here in Huaining County only eat rapeseed oil. Let’s put it this way, they don’t even know that tea seeds can be used to extract oil.

Likewise, Du Xuan was not worried about the tea seeds from the camellia trees on the mountain being climbed first, so she decided to take a look at them next time she went up the mountain.

But these days have been delayed by the Du family's nonsense.

"Mom, there seems to be a quarrel." Qi Xiaobao whispered to Du Xuan before they reached the Sun family yard.

"Huh?" Du Xuan knew that the child's hearing was very keen, so he must have heard something.

So I listened for a while, and it seemed that there was indeed a quarrel, and judging from the direction, it seemed that it was coming from the Sun's yard.

"It seems to have come from your Aunt Jin's house." Du Xuan frowned.

Unlike the Du family, the Sun family does not have anyone as troublesome as the Yang family. Chen Jinniang's mother-in-law, the Qian family, is not easy to deal with either.

But compared with Yang, he can be considered to have a good temper.

Therefore, the Sun family will not be as chaotic as the Du family.

Now, the sound of a quarrel came from the Sun family's yard. Du Xuan quickened her pace to take a look, but she stopped after taking two steps.

After all, there was a baby in his arms. It would be fine if he was just an ordinary child, but Xiaobao couldn't see, and he didn't know what was going on inside.

If someone pushed and bumped Xiaobao, not to mention Qi Yan, she would regret it to death.

Du Xuan hesitated, but Xiaobao urged, "Mom, let's go and have a look, Aunt Jin and Sister Taotao are being bullied..."

Xiaobao would have never dared to say this before.

Because he and the original owner were both bullied in the past, but the situation is different now, especially the previous few times, whether it was against the Xu family who falsely accused him of stealing rabbits, or later in the Du family.

Du Xuan didn't fall behind, so now Xiaobao was quite confident and dared to encourage her to go and have a look.

Du Xuan laughed when she heard what he said, "I was worried about scaring you, but it's good for you, you still want to join in the fun?"

But since Xiaobao said so, Du Xuan hugged him and quickened her pace towards Sun's house.

The closer you get to Sun's yard, the more clearly you can hear the noise coming from inside.

A female voice with a crying tone was all too familiar, it was Chen Jinniang's voice.

"How could this be caused by me? My Taoya'er really cured her cough by taking this medicine!"

"Then why didn't my son eat well? Now it's even worse!" Another voice also sounded crying, but the tone was a bit aggressive and unreasonable.

Chen Jinniang's mother-in-law, Qian, was a bit timid to others. When she heard this, she quickly said, "Our Tao Ya'er has indeed taken the medicine, and we asked Ding Chiji for the medicine."

Qian just wanted to put aside the matter and avoid getting into trouble. What he meant by this was that he wanted to put the blame on the barefoot doctor in the village.

"Qiu Niang, you also got the medicine from Na Ding's bare feet. Why did it become my family's problem if you didn't take it well?" Qian said.

The woman who came to make trouble was Xie Qiuniang, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family at the west end of the village.

She is a bit...how should I put it? Du Xuan thinks that if she really wants to talk about it, she probably has an anxiety disorder.

Xie Qiuniang is not very old either, she is almost twenty.

When I first got married and came to the Wu family, my stomach didn't move for a long time, and I was constantly being teased by my mother-in-law.

Later, I finally got pregnant and gave birth to a son.

Children from farm families are usually very tough and have been beaten and beaten since childhood.

But Xie Qiuniang was completely different. When her child sneezed, she would be so nervous that she wouldn't close her eyes all night long and would guard her child, fearing that something might happen to him again.

It is not abnormal for a mother to care about her children, but when the season changes, her children may have a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing.

If it were other people's homes, they would just take a piece of ginger and throw it into water to boil a pot of ginger soup, add some extra clothes, and that's it.

But Xie Qiuniang's son only coughed twice, and he didn't know whether it was because he was choking on his saliva.

She took the baby in her arms and went to see the barefoot doctor.

The barefoot doctor in Zhao'an Village was named Ding. With Xie Qiuniang's temperament, Ding barefoot was often annoyed by her, so when he saw her coming, he gave her the prescription that Chen Jinniang had brought to her before.

She also told her that Chen Jinniang’s daughter was about to become consumptive due to coughing, but she was cured by taking this recipe.

This is great!
