Zhu Yongxin's body has always been very strong. Not to mention serious problems, he has very few headaches and brain fever. However, this time the illness came so violently that the person was so burned that he was confused and couldn't eat. It made Mr. Fang anxious day and night. Taking care of those who don’t sleep.
Xiaoxiu even asked Bo Rong to go into the city to pick up Dr. Zheng. Old Zhu regretted seeing this for the first time, but after all, there is no regret medicine in this world. After being complained a few times by Yang, he felt even more awkward and uncomfortable, so he He didn’t want to stay at home either. Apart from going to Hehua’s house to see the second brother every day, Chapter 124 was tempted and he got up early and ran out to work in the rain. Zhu and the fourth brother were afraid that he would make a mistake, so they just I can go out with you every day.
After Mr. Zhu learned about this, he called Mr. Zhu to scold him and said, "Now that Mr. 2 is already like this, do you still want to make others sick before you give up?" "Lao Zhutou finally calmed down.
It was raining unusually during this period, and other families in the village did not take precautions. Many people fell ill while working in the rain. Dr. Zheng lived in Hehua's house to take care of Zhu Yongxin, and was often taken care of. Other people in the village were invited to see the doctor and prescribe prescriptions, but they were very busy.
In addition to caring about the crops in her own field, Lotus also has to take care of the hens in the chicken coop. The consecutive rainy days without the sun have reduced the egg production of the hens at home, and now there is no stable artificial light source. If you can provide lighting, you can only feed more concentrated feed to increase nutrition.
What made her even more troubled was that the fermented mushroom culture medium that had been piled up before was almost ready for use. But everyone at home was so busy that she couldn't spare too much energy to think about growing mushrooms. Okay. Liangzi's leg injury has basically healed, and he can still help Hehua with some work every day.
Lotus Chapter 124: With his help, Dongxin took some lime and mixed it into the culture medium. In the shed where seedlings were usually raised at home, the surrounding areas were washed with lime water, and all the culture medium was packed in In the cloth bag prepared earlier, the bark from the wood with mushrooms was placed at the mouth of the bag, and a layer of culture medium was missing on top. Finally, everything was stacked on a wooden shelf and placed in the grass shed to observe the situation.
Zhu Yongxin's illness quickly improved under Dr. Zheng's care, but the sky seemed to have been poked with holes. Although there were less heavy rains and more light rains and moderate rains, it almost never stopped. Some people's houses are only covered with straw curtains, and the dried cattails have long since rotted, so they have to cover the houses with linoleum cloth.
The water in the river has almost doubled than usual. Fang said that the rain upstream is probably heavier than here, otherwise the water would not have risen so much. Although the Hehua family has done an excellent job in preparing for drainage, it cannot withstand the rain for so many days without seeing the sun. The seedlings in the ground have begun to turn yellow. If it continues like this, it will not take long for the ground to be damaged. The humidity inside is so high that even the roots will rot.
Qi Jintang also read a lot of books to help Hehua find ways to deal with floods. However, flooding is a problem that even modern times cannot completely solve. There are good methods in ancient times. Hehua is worried that if it continues to rain like this, I'm afraid that this year's mountain fruits won't be able to bear fruit, and the fields will be harvestless, and even additional income will be blocked. It's possible that I will have to rely on my laurels to get through this year.
More and more elderly people in the village began to pray to gods and worship Buddha. Simple shrines can be seen everywhere in the fields. From time to time, people braved the rain to worship. Even Lotus didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and now she couldn't help but silently said in her heart. I beg God to let this endless rainy day end soon.
When the time came, Zhu Yongxin and Qi Jintang had to go to the academy in the city to study first. Fang asked Xiaoxiu to go with Borong. The two happened to live in Dr. Zheng's house, and Xiaoxiu could also help Dr. Zheng in the medical clinic. However, Borong wanted Xiaoxiu to stay at home and take care of his parents and younger siblings.
Xiaoxiu naturally listened to Bo Rong and went to Fang's family to tell him that she would stay and take care of the family. Fang didn't say anything to Xiao Xiu, but turned around and called Bo Rong in and said, your father and I are still the ones making the final decision at home, let Xiao Xiu Xiu is not just going to take care of you. Your father-in-law is alone in the city now, and now that you are in the city again, don't you miss Xiaoxiu when you stay at home? Besides, you two grown men can't live there no matter what. With Xiaoxiu, at least you don't have to worry about washing and eating... Besides, not long after you got married, Xiaoxiu just begged a clay doll. If I stay at home, when can I have a grandchild? "
Xiaoxiu blushed immediately after hearing this, and Bo Rong couldn't say any more, so he had to ask Xiaoxiu to pack up the two of them and go to the city together.
The rainy weather lasted until the beginning of May. Fang sighed at home and said that there was no hope for the crops this year. Fortunately, the chickens and pigs at home were not sick, otherwise it would be impossible to survive this day. "
"Maybe it will be fine in two days," Hehua advised without confidence.
"Well, it's raining so much that people are almost getting mold. I went to clean the west wing yesterday and saw so many books in your eldest brother's room. If it rains like this again, I'm afraid it will get wet." Mrs. Fang Putting the bellyband he was embroidering aside, he stretched out his hand to hammer his waist and said, "It's gloomy every day. It makes people lose their energy to work and makes them more and more lazy."
Sitting on the lotus kang, I helped Fang massage her shoulders and back, and when I saw that she was embroidering Wudu's bellyband, I realized with hindsight that it would be the Dragon Boat Festival in two days."
"No, this bellyband should have been made a long time ago. It was all caused by the recent rain. It has been delayed until now. If it is delayed any longer, it will be too late. I can only rush to make it in the past two days." Fang said. He threaded the needle with his hand, but it didn't thread for a long time. He sighed again and said, "Hehua helped me put the thread on, but I am really old. I could still thread the needle at night on Chinese Valentine's Day last year. It took less than a day." Years, years are not forgiving."
"Mom, you are just like this because of the recent rain. It has nothing to do with your age. You are still very young." Hehua heard this, took the embroidery needle, put on the thread and handed it to Fang, "If you don't want to If you always thread the needle, keep the thread longer. With such a short thread, you will naturally need to thread the needle frequently."
Fang smiled noncommittally and said that your grandma always said that lazy people use long threads. When I was a child, I was just like you. I thought it was troublesome to thread needles with short threads, so I kept the threads very long. Your grandma didn't say anything. , it’s all up to me, but when I embroider, long threads are always easy to get knotted. It’s okay if the slip knot can be untied. If it doesn’t make a dead knot, then I can only cut it off and thread the needle again, which is not labor-saving. , but it becomes more and more troublesome. It is better to use short thread and thread the needle a few more times, but the stitches will go smoothly. When you stop to thread the needle, you can look back and see how the previous stitches are going, which saves effort. "
"Mother's words are almost philosophical." Hehua handed the threaded needle and thread to Fang and said, "The fifth day of May is also Brother Liu's birthday. It happens to be three years old this year. According to my aunt's birthday, My temper, I’m afraid I have to do something about it.”
"Your aunt mentioned it once a few days ago, but she felt that it was always bad to keep my brother's health. I'm afraid it would be unbearable to hold a big birthday. When the time comes, it wouldn't be good, so I decided to forget it for now. , in the end, it’s not what she planned.” Fang embroidered the last thread on the bellyband, cut the thread and looked at it for a moment, and felt that there were no omissions, then she put it together with another identical bellyband next to her and said, “ These two will keep the big hair and the second hair that will be given to your fourth uncle's family when the time comes."
"My mother's needlework is getting better and better," Hehua praised.
"Stop flattering me. Do you think you haven't done any needlework for a long time without me?" Mrs. Fang patted her, "I've been busy at home recently and I haven't bothered to talk to you. You understand the truth, so you don't need me to talk too much. Say, right? There are many words.”
"Why, I heard you teaching Lotus before I even entered the house?" Zhu said, opening the curtain and entering the house.
"I didn't train her. It was just a few words in vain. This girl has had her own ideas since she was a child. If she doesn't admit it, all my words will be in vain." Ms. Fang put on her needle and thread. The bamboo basket moved to the kang and asked Zhu to sit down, "It's raining heavily."
"I'm thinking about discussing it with you. How about letting Brother Liu become my godfather and godmother to Lao Wu and his wife?" Zhu directly went to the kang and sat down before asking.
"Let's talk about it. Qi Laowu's family is not in good condition, and the two of them are not together. They just keep their brother..." Fang stopped talking.
"Yes, I would like to celebrate my brother's birthday. I'm afraid no one will be willing to be a godfather even if we give him money." Zhu's expression also dimmed a bit.
Hehua heard this and asked why he had to find a family. I read in the book that there was a family whose child was very young and sick, so he went to a temple to burn incense and asked the master in the temple to give him a monk's name and give him a monk's robes. , usually wears monk robes and is called a monk. Then when the child reaches the age of twelve, he goes to the temple to kowtow and return to secular life. At a young age, he is equivalent to a Buddhist disciple. With the protection of the Buddha, he can naturally grow up safely. "
"Is this really true?" Zhu Wenyan was very happy, "If this is really the case, I will take him to the city to offer incense tomorrow."
"I also saw it in the book. Auntie might as well ask others to see if there is such a rule here. Otherwise, if I do it, it will make Auntie's trip in vain." He Huawen Yan Ye was a little unsure, so he simply ran back to the house, turned out the book and showed it to Zhu.
"If it's written in the book, then we can't decide." Zhu nodded repeatedly after reading it, "I'll take him to the Sanpu Temple in the city tomorrow to ask. Even if there is no such rule, he should take advantage of it. It's his third birthday, so I would like to bow to the Bodhisattva and bless him with success in the future."
"That's fine." Mrs. Fang nodded after hearing this. "No matter how much, I pray for God's blessings. The worst thing about our village is that we don't have a temple. We have to go to the city to even pray to Buddha and worship God. Seriously?" Very inconvenient.”
Zhu heard the words and thought about it: When I was outside, I saw some places hit by disasters, so everyone pooled money to build a temple and erect a statue of Bodhisattva. You said we have been having heavy rain this year. If we build a temple, will it be possible? Will there be any benefits? "
"I can't say that. Moreover, such a big thing is planned by Li Zheng and the elders of the Qi family. Our family is an outsider, let alone taking the lead in saying such a thing. To put it bluntly, if Jian Jian It will be good if it works after it is built. If it continues like this after it is built, then our family will not be criticized by the whole village behind our backs and gossiped about constantly?" Mrs. Fang waved her hands repeatedly, asking Zhu to give up this idea. idea.
Zhu originally just said it casually, but now that he heard that Fang's words made sense, he put it down and ignored it.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, although there was no sunshine, there was only a light drizzle since the early morning. It was considered the best weather in recent days. Zhu locked the door early in the morning and took Zhi'er and Brother Liu with him. The son is preparing to enter the city. Hehua and Fang made rice dumplings the night before, and cooked them before dawn the next day. In the morning, they asked Zhu to take them to the city to deliver to Bo Rong. Fang also tied a bunch of them separately for Bo Rong. Bo Kai's, Hehua was not happy when he saw this, but he couldn't stop him, so he wiped his hands and went out first.
Jasmine was displeased when she saw her sullen face, and asked strangely, "Who messed with you during this big festival?" "
"It's nothing, I'm just upset." He Hua didn't want to tell Jasmine about Bo Kai, otherwise, because of Jasmine's temperament, she was afraid that she would explode immediately, so she just went into the house in a depressed manner.
Seeing this, Jasmine followed up and said, "In today's day, no one in the family is upset. If you keep showing off your face, it will make people feel more and more depressed. It's a big holiday and you are not in the mood to celebrate." "
Hehua felt even more depressed when she said it, so she got up and went out without saying anything.
Seeing that Jasmine's face didn't look good, Shaoyao hurriedly advised Sister Jasmine that it had been raining so much recently, and Lotus was thinking about the ground every day, and had to worry about the chickens and mushrooms at home. She couldn't sleep well these days and was upset. There's nothing you can do about it, just stop getting angry with her. "
Jasmine heard Shaoyao say that Lotus hadn't slept well, and she suddenly felt worried again. She rummaged through a bunch of medicinal teas that Doctor Zheng had prepared for her family last time, found the calming tea and put it aside, asking Shaoyao to remember to remind me before going to bed tonight. Brew some lotus flowers. Doctor Zheng said that this tea has a very good soothing effect. It was originally reserved for her parents. She has not been able to sleep well recently and it would be good for her to drink some first. "
"Sister Jasmine, you actually care about everyone in your family very much, but you always have to lecture people, why bother." Seeing Jasmine like this, Shaoyao couldn't help but said, "If you could coax people more with your words, Well, wouldn’t everyone be happy?”
"I was born without a tongue that speaks nice things. I am not like a lotus flower. I can always make people happy, so it is normal for others to sneer at me. Once you get used to it, it will be okay." Jasmine After speaking with no expression on his face, he turned around and left, leaving Shaoyao sitting on the kang with a somewhat embarrassed expression, unable to regain consciousness for a while.
Hehua walked out of the house and went into the shed where mushrooms were grown. She saw Liangzi checking the conditions in the cloth bags. There seemed to be no sign of mushrooms coming out. She couldn't help but said a little discouraged, it looked like there was no chance. , but this year I really went all the way to memorize the characters and couldn't even do it. "
On the contrary, Liangzi's mentality was very unpleasant. Seeing the lotus like this, he put the cloth bag in his hand and patted the earthen mushrooms on his hands. If the mushrooms were really so easy to grow, wouldn't they be a rarity? Why don't we have to wait? Come and plant it. Others have already planted it. This is just the first time you try it. There is nothing to be discouraged about. Do you know that when I was a child, my father and I learned how to set traps in the mountains. It took me several attempts before I succeeded. ? "
"How many times?" Hehua raised her head and asked him.
"A total of seven times." Liangzi stretched out his hand and made a seven sign, "My father led me to run in the mountains for a while, and let me watch him put the condom on every day, until I became impatient and felt that this was really... It was too easy, so he said, start putting the condom on. The first time I put it on, I was very confident. In the end, not even a rabbit hair was caught on the condom. I tried it a few times later, but it didn’t work. The trap was not placed in the right place, so that the trapped rabbit could escape again. This happened three times, and it was not until the seventh time that a rabbit was harnessed, and it was still an old rabbit that was almost useless. After that, I That's it. Many things are easier said than done. They look simple but take a lot of effort to do. Now we are trying it for the first time. There is nothing to be discouraged. Even if you want to be discouraged, you have to surpass my seven It’s not too late to get discouraged after this.”
"Brother Liangzi, I understand what you mean. Thank you for enlightening me. It is true that I have been in a bad mood recently, and I have lost all my patience." Hehua said with shame after hearing this, "It's not that I don't understand the truth. Normally, I am very good at talking about others, but sometimes when it comes to me, I don’t know what to do.”
"I'm not here to enlighten you. I'm just using my past lessons to encourage you. It's not sunny now, and no one is in a good mood." Liangzi said and turned around to talk to each other. Looking at the cloth bag, Lotus also stepped forward to help.
In the evening when Zhu Cong was in the city, Brother Liu was already wearing a monk's robes and a hat. He also had a pair of wooden bowls and chopsticks, saying that they were given by the monks in the temple, and asked Brother Liu to eat with them later. In the past, they were used to place tributes in front of the Buddha. Using this set of bowls and chopsticks to eat can bring blessings to the Bodhisattva.
After dinner, Zhu went to Hehua's house and told Fang in private that I was going to the city today to meet Fu from our village school. During our chat, we talked about building a temple in the village. Fu said that it was a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. He would I went to tell Li Zheng about this in my own name. "
After hearing this, Mr. Fang clasped his hands together and chanted Amitabha Buddha continuously. If he could really build a temple in the village to worship the Buddha, it would be a great meritorious deed. "
I just talked about this in the evening, but I didn't expect that Fu was really fast at doing things. On the second day, he asked every household in the village to gather in the ancestral hall courtyard and talked about building a temple in the village. Son, country people have always been in great awe of gods and Buddhas, but some people have different opinions and say that it has been raining for almost a month today. Even if we want to build it, we probably won’t be able to build it. ? "Nothing less." This statement immediately aroused the agreement of many people. It has been hazy and humid today, not to mention that the adobe bricks cannot be dried, and even the foundation cannot be dug.
Hearing this, Li Zheng raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and said in a loud voice that there was an empty house at the end of the village, which was formerly occupied by a distant relative of the Qi family, but later his elders passed away, and the only remaining child was My brother has also moved away from home, and it has been vacant for more than ten years. I thought, why don't we all renovate and paint those three rooms, and then we can choose an auspicious day to invite the three Bodhisattvas. How about everyone's opinion? "
Hearing that there was a ready-made house for use, everyone had no objections and nodded in approval. Zhu and Fang stood in the corner of the yard, holding a very large oil-paper umbrella together, and listened to the invitation to the Bodhisattva to build a temple. The thing was done so easily, I couldn't help but feel happy. I looked up and saw Fu Hanxiao nodding his head. No, I just felt my heart was shocked. Before I had time to respond, my cheeks started to feel hot, and I couldn't help but feel... It’s weird, after all, it’s true, a person of such an age can still feel like this even though he’s so good.
Mrs. Fang could see clearly from the side, and remembered that He Hua had mentioned Fu's inquiry about Zhu before, and immediately raised her hand to touch Zhu's arm, and whispered in her ear, I heard both Borong and Boning say, Fu His character is excellent, and he cares very much about his students. It can be seen that he loves children very much. He is probably in his early forties now. Although he has no family fortune, he is full of knowledge. , no matter where you go, you won’t worry about your livelihood, what do you think? "
When Zhu Zheng was upset, after listening to Fang's words, he nodded subconsciously and said, "That's not what you said." "But something was wrong immediately, and her cheeks felt even hotter. She couldn't help stamping her feet and said angrily to Fang, "I always thought you were a steady and steady person. You have several children. Now that Bo Rong is a grown man, he has to do it with his own eyes. Grandma, why are you still saying such irrelevant things? It's really... It would be nice if people heard her."
When Mrs. Fang saw this, she said deliberately, "I just praised Fu a few words, but I just wanted to say that if someone's daughter followed Fu, it would be a bad ending. What are you and me annoyed about?" "
