Chapter 180 Big Sister Is Sick
The second day of the Lunar New Year was the day when the daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home. However, it snowed heavily for several days during the New Year. The snow outside was piled as high as the calf, and the carriage could not move at all.
Therefore, they could only postpone their return trip until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
The Li family has had the most comfortable New Year in history. Not only did they have meat and vegetables, they were not cold either, and they lived comfortably every day.
It was a bit regretful that the two married girls could not come back on the second day of the second year of the Lunar New Year because of the heavy snow and road closures.
However, the weather this year was special, and we had agreed early on that if it snowed heavily, we would not be able to come back on the second day of the new year. Therefore, He Yunxi and his eldest sister did not come back, and the Li family was not surprised.
Seeing the snow piled up to their calves, the Li family couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, there was a new county magistrate and Yun Xi's measures. Otherwise, how many people would have died in such a weather.
When it was almost noon that day, Luo Zixuan brought Wang Yuyan to pay New Year's greetings.
Originally, as parents and officials, they only had to wait for others to come and pay them New Year's greetings. But the Lu family had the prince, and as subjects, it was natural for them to come and pay them New Year's greetings.
"You're less than three months old, why are you out here?" He Yunxi said.
Wang Yuyan's child was born at the end of October, and is now only over two months old, less than three months old. In this era, people are particularly concerned about not going out three months ago, for fear of something unexpected happening.
Wang Yuyan naturally treasured this belated child. Seeing that He Yunxi was worried about her, she smiled: "It's the first time to celebrate the New Year here. It's deserted. I just got to know you a little, so I came with the master to visit.
.And Uncle Liu said that my pregnancy is quite stable, so it doesn’t matter if I go out for a walk occasionally."
She couldn't eat at the beginning, but after using the method given by He Yunxi, she was able to eat some food. Although she vomited a lot, she also ate a lot, so she was still in good health.
Now that these people have arrived, what else can He Yunxi say? He can only welcome them to the living room.
Luo Zixuan and Wang Yuyan had lunch here before leaving. He Yunxi and Lu Yan originally planned to go to pay New Year's greetings to their master today, but now they can only postpone it to tomorrow. Because in this era, it is not good to go to pay New Year's greetings in the afternoon.
It is a habit to show disrespect to visitors.
On the early morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yan took He Yunxi to Xiang's house. After paying New Year's greetings to Xiang Hongyu and Qin Qian, Xiang Hongyu took Lu Yan away. He Yunxi and Qin Qian chatted until noon and had lunch before asking to leave.
.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, He Yunxi and Lu Yan returned to Lijiacun. She thought she would see her eldest sister Li Yao, but she did not come back that day.
"Yunxi, I have already asked about the peppers you mentioned before. Everyone in our village is willing to participate in planting them. Some people have one acre of land, while many people have two or three acres of land. When will these peppers be planted? How?
kind?"
"Planting peppers requires temperature. According to previous seasons, it takes at least February to sow seedlings. When they have a few leaves, transplant the seedlings and plant them." He Yunxi said, "At this time, I will plant them for you."
"
"Is this planting method difficult?" Li Zhigui asked.
He Yunxi smiled and said: "Of course it's not difficult. Otherwise, such a large area of chili peppers could grow in that mountain?"
"That's right." Li Zhigui suddenly relaxed a lot, and it was obvious that he was still under a lot of pressure.
He Yunxi also understands that peppers are new to everyone. For people who rely on the ground for food, using land to grow an unknown plant is a risky behavior.
If it weren't for everyone trusting Li Zhigui, and Li Zhigui trusting her, no one would be able to take this risk.
Because Li Yao was still not seen during lunch, before going back, He Yunxi quietly asked Liu Yan: "Mom, has the eldest sister come back to pay New Year's greetings?"
"No." Liu Yan whispered, "I heard that your eldest sister is ill. Your aunt wanted to see her, but it was snowing and the roads were blocked, so she couldn't go."
"Well, if anything happens, you can come to me."
"OK."
He Yunxi gave Liu Yan some more money before going back with Lu Yan.
On the way back, Lu Yan saw He Yunxi frowning slightly and asked, "What's wrong? What troublesome thing did mother tell you?"
"The eldest sister hasn't come back." He Yunxi said, "The eldest sister is a very polite person, and the two villages are not far away. If she hadn't been seriously ill, she would have come back."
"Heavy snow has blocked the road. Although the snow has melted now, it is still difficult to walk." Lu Yan comforted.
Lu Yan had never met Li Yao and had no deep impression of He Yunxi, the eldest sister. However, in his previous life, he seemed to have heard someone say that she died of illness this spring.
Is it because of this disease?
"If you are worried, you can go and have a look later when you have time." Lu Yan said, "It's not far away anyway."
"Well. The snow is melting now, and the roads between villages are still difficult to walk. I guess my aunt will go and have a look tomorrow." He Yunxi said, "If it's serious, she should tell me."
Lu Yan didn't say much. After all, Li Yao died near the end of spring in his last life.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, when Li Changfu came to the city, he went to see He Yunxi: "We are here to deliver goods to Baiweilou. Your mother asked me to tell you that your eldest aunt visited your eldest sister yesterday and said
She had a cold, so she didn't go home to celebrate the New Year."
"Sister, is it really because of the cold?"
"Yes. I'm inviting Dr. Liu from the village next to yours."
Hearing that Dr. Liu was invited to see it, He Yunxi did not suspect that the diagnosis was wrong.
She still knows Dr. Liu's medical skills.
Therefore, she dropped the matter.
Sickness is normal in any era.
Feeling relieved, she focused all her energy on the opening of the shop.
This shop sells condiments, so it doesn’t need to be decorated too much. I just made some shelves to display the soy sauce and vinegar. Those shelves were made by someone a year ago. Now I just need to clean them and put the soy sauce and vinegar.
Just move here and choose a date to open.
In the past six months, she has been making soy sauce and vinegar when she has time. The yard behind the Lu family is filled with large jars of soy sauce and vinegar. In addition, there is a yard behind the workshop that even Xiao Huang and the others cannot enter.
Yes, there are also plenty of soy sauce and vinegar she made.
Because these things take time, He Yunxi did not wait until they were sold later.
In the past, she felt that it was enough to lead her own work, but now she wants to make more money, so she needs to expand the scale.
In this case, we need to open another workshop dedicated to making seasonings.
Let’s plan now and arrange it later.
One bite won't make you a fat man.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, amid the sound of firecrackers, Lu Ji Condiment Shop officially opened.
