Chapter 272: Giving roses leaves lingering fragrance in hands(1/2)

Xu Tianxin first looked at the tattered quilt on the Guan family's kang, and then looked at Grandpa Guan.

Until now, Grandpa Guan is reluctant to drink pimple soup with egg flowers, but spends ten taels of silver on others.

It made Hu Zheng greedy, so he grabbed her hand and went to Guan's house for dinner, saying that he hoped she would go there once a week. Only if she went, the family would be willing to cook well.

For only ten taels of silver, the bedding for a family of three can be replaced with new ones from the inside out.

I didn’t buy any New Year’s goods at home, but I was thinking about how other people would celebrate the New Year.

Guan Ertuo was a little nervous as Tian Xin'er stared at him. He turned sideways, averting his eyes and thinking:

When it was over, the disciple became angry.

In fact, it’s no wonder the child is angry.

He asked the children to pay without making it clear in advance, and also asked the children to do good deeds without leaving their names.

Because he believes that good people will be rewarded.

Although life was bad in the past, he always felt that if he didn't be a good person, life would be worse if he couldn't prepare for it, so he still believed in this.

Besides, I am very lucky.

People, don't look back, look behind you, otherwise you won't get to know Tian Xin'er.

In Guan Ertuo's heart, doing this and that with Tian Xin'er is the greatest blessing in his life.

But I have to admit that these are all my own thoughts, and the child cannot help but not believe them. If Tian Xin'er's mother knew about it, she would scold him.

After all, ten taels is not a small amount of money, so he just asked Tian Xin'er to pay for it, seeing that he didn't dare to tell others.

Let’s not mention it, just take the villagers as an example. If those women know that they will definitely call him mentally ill, they still pity the people from other villages. If they want to do good things, can they pity the people of their own village?

"Tian Xin'er, if you don't want to, just treat it as..."

"I do. However, I also hope that you can think more about yourself in the future and be careful..."

Guan Ertu hurriedly stood up straight, turned around and shouted in surprise: "I knew that you girl has some loyalty in you. You can do things that others would agree to if they are brave enough!"

have to.

I hope you will also eat something good, cover yourself with a warm quilt as soon as you are old, and don’t come to this world without enjoying many blessings and not see the suffering of others.

I hope you will be willing to spend a few taels on yourself throughout the year while giving out ten taels to others without leaving your name, and giving thirty-five taels to those shopkeepers at the exchange market without blinking an eye.

Xu Tianxin knew that after saying the above, Grandpa Guan couldn't listen to a word at the moment.

So, why not: "...How should we do this so that people can receive surprises without anyone noticing. If this is done, I think you are so cool, Grandpa Guan. Why am I so cool?"

Cool Master!"

"It's not good to make people cry." Guan Ertu said embarrassedly: "I just wanted to leave no name, so that people would not feel heavy in their hearts knowing who did it, and they would think about sending us some firewood or something. I was also afraid that people would come to the door and cry.

Thanks, what happened? Hehehehe."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Guan, I promise not to leave your name, not even my grandma."

Standing in the courtyard, Mrs. Xu could still hear the bald man talking excitedly to her granddaughter:

"Xin'er, in the most difficult year for my grandfather's family, on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, I was too hungry to move, so I had this sweet dream.

In my dream, someone threw a piece of meat and seven white dough dumplings at the wall of my courtyard.

The flour was so fine that I dreamed so brightly. I thought it was good. I had to worship a lot during the New Year, so I finally had something decent to eat in honor of my master. The cakes offered to me would keep the tiger alive for a long time.

Eat until the seventh day of the lunar month, the day of the human being.

In this way, I dare to say to my old wife and uncle when they visit their graves, don’t worry about this side. The New Year dishes this year are good. Yingzi fried cabbage slices with meat and oil, and Hu Peng ate two slices of fatty meat, which made his mouth full.

The oil is poured out and served with a grater to serve the Stove Lord.

Later, how do you think I woke up?"

"How did you wake up?"

"I dreamed that the person threw Spring Festival couplets at my house. I did have the couplets, but I didn't have any glue. It made me worried. Even if I wiped the couplets (saliva) on them, they couldn't stick to them. Then I woke up suddenly. When I woke up, I found that

There is nothing, just a face full of arrogance, hahaha."

"Oh, Grandpa Guan, then we also have to prepare paste for those people. After buying them, do you have any money left? If there is no paste money left, I will pay for it."

"That's enough, that's enough. Let's not waste the oil paper bag to avoid being discovered by your mother. If she doesn't scold you, she scolds me.

I just wrap the flour in corn leaves to make the paste.

By the way, Xin'er, grandpa will show you the list. Grandpa is not just being kind.

There were a total of ten remote villages, and I only selected twenty-six households. They were all villages where I had seen medical treatment and knew their conditions well.

In the twenty-six families, there are either no elders and only babies with no father and mother. Or there are no children and no capable laborers to rely on.

These people are not able to change their lives by hard work, and they will only be left with pain and no sweetness all year round."

Guan Ertu also told Xu Tianxin that he scraped the white crystals from the latrines to collect white crystals from people. Why did those people also scrape the latrines?

To eat as salt.

If you don’t believe me, try it. Scrape off the layer of white mud-like substance from the stone surrounding the toilet, boil it in boiling water and boil it dry. Then you can use it as salt. The taste is almost the same as salt. His family has eaten it.

But I only eat a little bit at home, because as a doctor, Guan Ertuo knows that people with good health can only eat small amounts, and eating too much can easily lead to poisoning.

I didn't expect that thing to be able to blow up a house.

Xu Tianxin was shocked, eating saltpeter?

"Grandpa Guan, do you want to give them some more coarse salt? Just give them a little. At least during the New Year, I feel that the spring flowers will bloom and life will get better."

There was another rumor in the room that Xu Tianxin and Guan Ertuo were thinking about when to meet and write couplets without delaying their serious business.

In a few days, I am going to Shiliba Village to do good deeds, and I am destined to be delayed for several days.

So these days when you are at home, you have to work more during the day and advance the things that will be delayed later, so as not to delay making money.

In addition to the original pharmaceutical business, Xu Tianxin and Guan Ertu also want to expand their business, and plan to make Tusu wine for sale during the Chinese New Year.

On the one hand, it is sold to the people in surrounding villages. People here pay attention to drinking Tusu wine during the New Year.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. The Tusu in it refers to this wine.

They make it themselves and sell it to people in surrounding villages for a few cents cheaper than buying it outside.

And this wine was originally commemorated by Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo is a doctor, so on the other hand, Xu Tianxin and Guan Ertuo, as people who studied medicine, would be dignified by making this kind of New Year wine to send to their relatives and friends.

It symbolizes driving away evil spirits, avoiding plague, and seeking longevity.

For example, Xu Tianxin planned to make it by herself and then give it to Huo Yunqian, Lu Yan, Jia Lai, Zhao Dashan, the grandfathers who worked under her in the village, and Bai Muyan's grandmother. Of course, her own grandmother and grandma.

Xu Tianxin had already thought about it. When drinking Tusu wine on New Year's Eve, she would have a drink with her grandma face to face.

It can be seen that there is no time during the day. She and Grandpa Guan have to prepare Tusu wine during the day, which contains rhubarb, Sichuan pepper, atractylodes, cinnamon heart, platycodon, aconite and cinnamon parsnip. Several of them require her to spend time learning from Grandpa Guan.

And being greedy and black means not being greedy. Xu Tianxin has been so busy recently that he has no time to read.

Grandpa Guan is even more busy. He often sells hemorrhoid medicine from the shop and treats colds for people. Sometimes he comes back late at night.

In the end, the two of them decided that they could only get up early to write couplets, steam dry food with red dates and freeze it. Then on the 25th and 6th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Tianxin's uncles took advantage of this time to help the village buy a lot of pepper, aniseed, grains, oil and sugar.

and needles, threads, and brains were going out to sell, so they took the initiative to take jobs and went to remote villages to help sell, and then threw these New Year items to the twenty-six families.

"But I write couplets with ugly characters. I can write them with charcoal, but with a brush..."

"My handwriting is even uglier."

"My handwriting is very distinctive, Grandpa Guan. What if someone recognizes it? Then they will guess that I did it?"

"Okay," Guan Ertu laughed and imitated Xu Tianxin's catchphrase: "Everyone of you is illiterate. You can't even detect the curse words you write. How can you expect to recognize the uniqueness of your handwriting?"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Xu shook her head with a smile and silently exited the Guan family courtyard.

She planned to pretend she didn't hear anything.

Mrs. Xu had thought before that when her granddaughter grew up, it would be impossible to tell her everything, and she would have little secrets that belonged to her heart.

If this was the first time her granddaughter had kept a little secret from her, it was a good start and she was willing to pretend she didn't know it for the rest of her life.

Needless to say, from that day on, Mrs. Xu pretended to be quite similar. She felt that she had some acting skills.

When she saw her granddaughter rubbing her eyes, sitting up and slapping her face to wake up early in the morning, Mrs. Xu held her breath and pretended not to be disturbed.

Then I listened to my granddaughter put on her shoes quietly, and after closing the door, the old lady across the door asked Tian Xin'er: "Are you going to exercise again?"

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but laugh.

Because the old lady in the opposite room didn’t know what exercise meant at first, but now she could stand up with her arms and swish away. It was the first time I saw Tian Xiner getting up uncharacteristically from sleeping in. I was very puzzled and went out with her to have a look.

What is Tian Xin'er going to do?

The old lady was shocked when she saw it.

In the eyes of the old lady, her great-granddaughter stood in the yard, fluttering her arms and scurrying away as the roosters crowed in the west yard. Then she posed as if she was about to take off, with her fine pigskin jacket flung away from her armpits.

It's open and there's a gaping hole.
