Then Xiang Jin took a hoe and looked around again, and found that there was a large area of money grass growing on the edge of the nearby ditch, and all of them were already blooming with small yellow flowers.
She had seen this yesterday at the place where medicinal materials were collected, so she raised her hoe and shoveled clean the large area of money grass.
Xiang Jin was about to bend down and put them in the basket on his back, but Yang Juyun stopped her with a hasty voice, "Wait, wait, don't touch that, I'll do it!"
"What's wrong, I can't move?" Xiang Jin turned her head and looked at her mother with a puzzled look on her face.
Yang Juyun said, "Some people are allergic to this money plant. If they touch it, they will get a red rash on their face, and their face will be swollen like a basin."
"No, is it so serious?" Xiang Jin was startled, and then asked tentatively, "Have I ever been allergic before? Why don't I remember?"
Yang Juyun said, "That's not true. I mean, you two sisters have never touched this herb before."
Xiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded clearly, "Oh, let me try," then she picked up the money grass on the ground and stuffed it into the bamboo basket on her back.
Yang Juyun was too late to stop her, so she could only look at her with a frown, "I told you, I'm coming, I'm coming, why don't you listen? What should I do if I'm allergic?"
Xiang Jin said, "You have said that some people are allergic to this, but I have never been exposed to it. You don't know whether I am allergic to this. What if I am not allergic? Then I will
Can't we talk more?
Although this is cheap and not very popular, the advantage is that there are many of them. They are everywhere in the countryside. As the saying goes, although mosquitoes are small, they are also meat. If you accumulate a little, you can still sell it for some money.
.”
There was no way, it was really hard to make money in this era, so she might as well save a little. Now that their family was about to build a house, she didn't have time to think of ways to make money, so she would just do that for the time being.
Yang Juyun glared at her angrily, "You kid, everything you say makes sense," but she still walked over quickly to help.
Xiang Jin looked at her with suspicion and said, "Are you allergic to this? Why don't you become allergic to this when I'm not allergic?"
Yang Juyun said, "I'm not allergic to this. I've mentioned it before, but your father is a little allergic to it, so I haven't mentioned these herbs since then."
Xiang Jin's heart skipped a beat. Did she have a 1 in 4 chance?
Oh, no matter what, she touched it all, so even if she is allergic, it is already too late. Whether she will be allergic will only be known later.
Thinking of this, Xiang Jin bent down again and gave her one last hug.
Following her, she and her mother pulled some plantains from the edge of the roadside again, and packed a full basket before returning home.
When the mother and daughter passed by the door of Lao Xiang's house carrying baskets on their backs, Mrs. Zhang saw them and said "poof" at them.
"You prodigal bitches and little hooves, after taking the money from my son, you spend a lot of money, and you don't know how to save your money. I will kill you. I tell you, after all the money is spent, don't even think about dragging anything else."
Use unfounded excuses to get money from my son!"
You don't need to think about it, you also know that this is what Feng Fuying said to them when he came back. Mr. Zeng and Grandma Mo are determined not to be those talkative women who ruin things.
After Yang Juyun heard this, she wanted to make trouble with her. She thought that she was not her mother-in-law now anyway. If she scolded herself and her daughter, she could scold her back.
But he was held back by Xiang Jin, "If a mad dog bites you, can you bite it back? Oh, forget it, let's go, we have business to do."
Yang Juyun thought about it, yes, she has a lot to do today, so she won't care about it like a crazy woman. If she dares to scold her daughter next time, let's see if she doesn't scold her daughter too!
When the mother and daughter returned home, Aunt Liao and Xiang Nan were not there. They probably went to the fields to cut pigweed.
Yang Juyun directly dumped the basket of money grass and plantain under the eaves and spread it flat to dry. Then Xiang Jin took the mulberry she picked to her house, found a small basket and put it in a
Let it dry on its own on an inconspicuous shelf.
Then the mother and daughter locked the door, and first went to Xiang Bingchong's house to find Xiang Bingchong, and then went to Rui Bin's house on the mountain together.
When I went there, Master Ruibin was not at home, having gone out to herd cattle. There were only her wife, Aunt Cai'er, their son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren at home.
Their son was a carpenter and was making something. When they went there, he was playing ink with his eldest son.
Because everyone had agreed on this matter in private before, everyone understood it as soon as they arrived. Aunt Cai'er asked her second grandson to call her father back, and asked with concern, "We are about to start construction."
Already?"
Yang Juyun nodded, "I plan to prepare first, and then officially start the construction after the bag is broken."
Aunt Cai'er nodded, but Aunt Cai'er's daughter-in-law Mingfen poured a bowl of water for each of them, thanked Xiang Jin and the others and took it, but Xiang Jin didn't drink it because she had eaten porridge in the morning.
Not thirsty.
She was interested in the carpentry work of Aunt Cai'er's son Dengwei, so she went around to take a look, and found that the flower and bird patterns he carved were very lifelike, and the wood materials were also very smooth and stylish.
It's also very delicate.
"Little girl, do you like it?" Dengwei raised a piece of wood and squinted one eye and asked Xiang Jin with a smile.
Xiang Jin said "hmm" twice and praised sincerely, "Dad Dengwei, your craftsmanship is really good!"
In the era of her previous life, basically all carpentry work was purely mechanized, and it was rare to see pure hand polishing.
"It's just average, I can barely make ends meet," Denwei glanced at her with a smile, modestly, then put the wood down, picked up a plane and continued to plan.
Xiang Jin said, "Dad Dengwei, you have finished your own work. If there is no external work, why don't you make some household items for us?"
"Yes, yes, Denwei, if you don't have any other work, you can do my job. You see, my family is going to build a house soon, and there is a lot of carpentry work that needs to be done by someone.
We are all from the same place, one is up the mountain and the other is down the mountain. I do it when I ask others to do it, and I do it when I ask you to do it. But don’t worry, I will still give you the same price as others outside.
I won’t say that I’ve treated you badly,” Yang Juyun quickly stood up and walked over.
Aunt Cai'er and her daughter-in-law Mingfen were very happy after hearing this.
Den Wei was naturally happy, "I didn't take the job, I didn't take the job."
However, Aunt Cai'er still said politely, "Look at what you said, even if he is such a heretic, you won't ask him to do it. Even if he helps you for two days, he will still get it."
Yang Juyun said, "Oh, how can it be done? How can a craftsman help in vain? He will do what he should do!"
Then, Xiang Jin said, "Hey, Dad Dengwei, now that your things are ready, you can make some furniture for our family first. We don't have a bed, so we need at least three beds.
I have to make a set of coffee tables, tables, chairs and benches.
My mother has a standing wardrobe, but Xiang Nan and I will also need a wardrobe each in our room.
When the time comes, you will help us do this first, and then when we are building the house, you will help us make doors and windows, as well as beams, purlins and lattice."
Their family makes a lot of things, and Denwei is naturally very happy, as this means that he won't have to go out to find work for a long time.
So he nodded sharply, "Don't worry, after I finish this thing in three or two days, I will start making yours, using your materials?"
Xiang Jin also looked at her mother, and then saw Yang Juyun and said, "When the time comes, just go to the slopes of our house and cut them down. We have some big trees growing there. If they are not enough by then, we will buy others.
.”
Denwei nodded, and the matter was settled.
About ten minutes later, Master Ruibin came back, and then everyone went to measure the land of the two families.
