"Don't worry, you are still young and have plenty of time. You can think carefully while studying!" Song Tuanyuan said, "After today, you can go back to the academy. I asked around in the town this time and what I taught you.
Mrs. Han is a good character
, you can ask him for advice, not only about knowledge that cannot be found in books, but also about life matters. You can listen to what he says, and then think about it for yourself, can you absorb it and accept it?
Yes, it’s yours!”
Song Fujin nodded.
"Mom, come over and eat quickly!" Song Shuangxi shouted at this moment.
Song Tuanyuan patted Song Fuxin on the shoulder and went to dinner with her.
Most of today's meals were cooked by Song Tuanyuan himself, with help from Wang Yulan and Song Shuangxi. One was beef brisket stewed with potatoes, the other was scrambled eggs with elm money, fried Chinese toon, and braised fish.
The fish was given by the Ji family. I drank fish soup yesterday, and today I made braised fish with chopped green onions sprinkled on top and a rich red sauce. I thought it was delicious just by looking at it.
"It smells so good!" Everyone sat down and looked at it. Just smelling the fragrance and looking at the color made their mouths water.
"There is another braised pork in the pot!" Song Tuanyuan looked at the people on the table, large and small, both male and female. For the first time, she felt less anxious, "Hurry up and eat!"
Everyone looked at it with a smile and raised their chopsticks at the same time.
"I want the fish head, brother, don't grab it from me!" Song Fujian and Song Fugui stuck the fish head in at the same time.
"Mom, this toon is so delicious!"
"Grandma, the meat is so delicious!"
The noise, the sound of chewing meat, and the unwilling hum of the little girl lying in the basket beside her, constantly kicking her legs, formed a harmonious scene.
Song Tuanyuan looked at it, feeling for the first time that such a home was nice and warm.
After dinner, Song Fujian, Song Fujin and Song Fugui were all going to the town in the afternoon.
"Mom, the three of us are gone, can you really make it?" Song Fugui was a little worried, "Otherwise I will go later!"
"You are all leaving. Look, we are all at home. We have to prepare several dishes for every meal. We don't even have enough bowls. I can still be quiet after you leave!" Song Tuanyuan was washing the dishes and raised his eyes to see One, Two, Three.
The older boy stood in front of him, looking reluctant to leave. He quickly wiped the water from his hands on his apron and started to drive people away.
"Fugui takes a break every ten days, Fugui takes a break every seven days, Fuxin takes a little longer, it takes half a month, and you'll all be back soon, so what's there to worry about?" Song Tuanyuan sent the three of them off.
When he got to the bullock cart, he paid six cents and said, "Look, the three elders even paid more copper coins!"
At this moment, the people sitting on the bullock cart were all looking at the three children of the Song family with envy. Some people asked: "I heard that your two sons are studying in the two best academies in the town.
Are you still working as an apprentice in a drug store?"
Song Tuanyuan smiled: "The news spread so fast!"
"Isn't that right? Nowadays it is said that Mrs. Song has made a fortune and her children will also have a future!"
Song Tuanyuan smiled. It turns out that raising a child is such a happy feeling. Unfortunately, her parents gave birth to her and had to undergo chemotherapy in the hospital every day. Her parents' feelings...
Song Tuanyuan sighed.
When she was uncomfortable during chemotherapy, she lost her temper with her parents. At that time, they felt even more uncomfortable and regretted giving birth to her, right?
Song Tuanyuan watched the bullock cart go further and further, and returned home with her own thoughts.
Song Tuanyuan promised the drug store to make croton cream, which would take some time.
The croton cream needs to be crushed, then sieved to remove the shell. After picking out the meat, first wrap it in rice paper, then a layer of straw paper, then wrap it in linen cloth, and start pressing the oil.
Extracting oil takes a lot of time. Change the paper and press once every two days. The oil can be used only after six or seven times.
Such a batch of croton cream will take more than ten days of work.
When Song Tuanyuan was sifting the bean skins, Song Shuangxi stepped forward and said, "Mom, let me help you!"
Song Tuanyuan glanced at the room: "Can your sister-in-law be busy?"
Song Shuangxi took care of Wang Yulan's confinement, and Shuangxi also helped Wang Yulan take care of the child at night.
"Sister-in-law said she could do it and asked me to help mom!" Song Shuangxi said. She looked at the croton in Song Tuanyuan's hand and asked, "Mom, what kind of medicine is this?"
"Eating croton can cause diarrhea, but if you make croton cream, it can reduce cold accumulation in the lower body, remove water from swollen legs, and eliminate phlegm and soothe the throat." Song Tuanyuan said.
Song Shuangxi suddenly became interested: "Is it so magical?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine is profound, magical and fun. It depends on whether you like it or not!" Song Tuanyuan said, raising her eyes and asking, "Have you never thought about what you will do in the future?"
Song Shuangxi was stunned for a moment; "Mom, I'm thirteen and will get married in a few years. What else can I do to serve men and children?"
Song Tuanyuan frowned. This Song family has been married since the original owner was thirteen years old, so she became a grandmother in her early thirties. Now that she is here, she can't do this again.
"From now on, the children of our Song family will not be allowed to get married before they are eighteen!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Song Shuangxi was stunned; "Eighteen?"
Eighteen, she is an old girl in the countryside!
"Yes, don't be anxious. Think carefully about what you want to do. Whatever your mother can do for you, she will let you do it. If you get married after you turn 18, you can do what you like even after you get married!
Song Tuanyuan said.
Song Shuangxi's eyes sparkled, "Mom, can I really do this? In fact, I want to learn medicine from my mother!"
Song Tuanyuan glanced at Song Shuangxi: "Do you like it?"
Song Shuangxi nodded: "I think it's very cool for my mother to lead my eldest brother and my younger brother to make medicine. I picked it from the mountain and sold it for money. Moreover, my mother also made medicine for the son of the Chen family and saved me. I want to talk to my mother."
Learn how to make medicine!”
Song Shuangxi said again, strengthening his confidence.
Song Tuanyuan thought about it for a while. Now that her three sons at home have work to do, it would be great if Song Shuangxi could help her at home.
"Okay, I'll teach you. You start with me and learn slowly!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Song Shuangxi's face was full of joy: "Really, mother?"
Song Shuangxi felt that if she learned how to do it, she would be able to support herself. Even if she didn't want to get married in the future, she would still be able to live a good life!
"Isn't this true? Go and wrap up all these crotons for me. Yes, just like me. Throw them all into the pressing bed and press them hard. Yes, that's it!"
Song Tuanyuan took Song Shuangxi to press oil for croton in the yard. Song Xiaoxiao also came to help. The two adults and one child worked hard all morning. Although they were tired and had backache, they were very satisfied in their hearts. They lived a simple and peaceful life.
It's booming.
Song Tuanyuan originally planned to go to the town after making Croton Cream, but he did not expect that Hao Lixian would find Songjiacun the next day.
