The main reason is that he didn't lose a penny from his trip yesterday, and there is no work in the fields now. He is really too busy, so he might as well go to his brother-in-law's house for a delicious meal.

Second Aunt Qian saw that the heads of the first and third bedrooms were all gone. There was no reason for Second Aunt Qian not to go, so they simply came over together.

However, the daughter-in-law who originally decided to bring them did not come with them, and they only brought a few grandchildren.

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for a large family to come to my aunt's house to eat and drink.

Basically, when relatives in the countryside go to see babies or mothers, they only bring eggs. Uncle Qian thought that there would be many people there today, so he spent money to buy two pieces of meat to carry.

Before arriving at Lao Zhou's house, Da Ya and Er Ya and others who were washing clothes by the river saw their grandfather or uncle first. Da Ya threw away the clothes and ran home, running back first to inform her father.

mother.

As soon as they left, many people in the village avoided the old Zhou family and whispered, "Why are you here today? Didn't you just come yesterday?"

"You brought so many things. Why did Lao Zhoutou and Mr. Qian have such a fierce quarrel this time? My mother-in-law actually brought so many things?"

"It can't be possible. You're already a long time old and your grandson is already so old. Why don't you worry about something like this?"

"Why isn't it worth it? A pound of wheat can make two taels more. It's not uncommon for a man who is so frugal like Uncle Jin to get angry."

"No matter how angry you are, the Qian family will never be so groveling. Don't look at how many sons Aunt Qian has given birth to for the old Zhou family, and how many things she has done. At her age, if the matter comes to her parents' family, is it possible that Uncle Jin's face

Does it look good?" The village chief's wife passed by the river and heard their discussion. She couldn't help but say something to them, "You guys are also free. I think they are relatives who come to see the children. Uncle Jin already went to see them yesterday.

They had a threesome, obviously the old couple didn't quarrel."

Since Wednesday, I was called to my door yesterday, and Lao Zhou left on the front foot, and the news on the back foot was as if he had grown wings, and many people knew about it.

You can tell with your toes that he started talking about it on Wednesday, but his mouth never got past the door.

A woman burst out laughing and said happily, "Uncle Jin is running out on such a hot day. I guess it's not Uncle Jin who is angry with Aunt Qian, but Aunt Qian who kicked them out, right?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The village chief's wife also laughed and scolded, "Don't let Uncle Jin hear this, or you'll look good on it. Okay, don't always focus on other people's things. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Are you making rice dumplings at home?"

?”

"Hey, not a single grain of glutinous rice from last year was confiscated. The glutinous rice in the grain store is so expensive, how can I afford it?"

"Yeah, I don't do it at home. I'll just bake a few more cakes tomorrow and then cut some meat and come back."

"By the way, I went out early in the morning and wanted to cut some wormwood at the foot of Houtou Mountain and put it on the door. I would smoke it out for mosquitoes at night. But when I went to the back mountain, I saw that the wormwood was quite good.

All the grass is gone, do you know who cut it?"

"Oh, my family hasn't harvested it yet. I'll have to go a little further to the edge of the field to do it soon."

"Did Uncle Jin's family cut it?"

"But pull it down. It's such a big area and it's all cut off. Even if Uncle Jin's family has many rooms, they won't need so many."

Erya, who was silently washing clothes not far away, thought to herself: Yes, it was my father who performed the procedure. Not only did my father perform the procedure, but my mother, my third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, and sixth uncle all had theirs done...

Erya rubbed his clothes fiercely and hummed: "I asked you to speak ill of my grandparents. Then I will ask my fourth uncle and the others to mow everything on the nearby field ridges!"

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Dalang were used to getting up early, mainly because it was getting up so quickly and everyone went to bed early, making them uncomfortable lying in bed.

So early in the morning, Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian got up together and picked the beans soaked in the wooden barrel to grind soy milk and make tofu.

They didn't plan to sell them in the county town, so they just exchanged beans in the village. Besides, there was a festival coming up, and they wanted to eat at home, so they would take some back to their parents' house. Even two buckets of beans might not be enough.

On Tuesday, Lang was squatting in the yard in a daze early in the morning. He was helping his elder brother grind beans, and while he was taking a rest, Manbao came over with a bookcase on his back, yawning profusely, and asked him to help put more mugwort on her door.

.

There are a lot of requests, "Second brother, would you like to make me a ball out of mugwort and put it on my bookshelf?"

Zhou Erlang asked: "Why do you need so much mugwort? Just stick a handful at the door."

"Mugwort has the effect of dispelling bad odors," Man Bao said, "Actually, our family should cut some wormwood at this time and dry it. The dried wormwood can be used to soak your feet to remove the cold, and can also be sold in drug stores."

"Mugwort can be found everywhere. It can be cut and dried at any time. Drug stores collect it. The price is probably not as good as centella asiatica, right?"

"Then just stay in the sun for two years, three years, or five years." Man Bao didn't understand it before. He had been studying medicine, so he knew better. "The older you are, the better and more valuable you are. I don't believe it."

Second brother, I will go to the drug store in the county town and ask about it tomorrow."

"Lao Ai?"

"It is the mugwort that was cut and dried this year. It will be dried and stored again next year. It will be dried again the year after that, year after year. It is said that the medicinal properties of moxa that are more than three years old will be very mild and strong.

"

Man Bao said: "This is a good thing. It can be boiled in water for foot soaking and bathing in winter and summer. It can also be made into strips for the body."

When Man Bao said this, he looked at Zhou Lang with sharp eyes and asked: "Second brother, how about I try it for you to see if your back is sore?"

"It's not sour," Zhou Zhoulang said without thinking: "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. Every household has to plant mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival. There are always lazy people in the county who don't like to go out of town to find mugwort. Why don't we cut some tomorrow?

Go out and sell the mugwort."

Zhou Zuorang said: "If you can't sell them all, take them home to dry. As you said, dry them and put them away. Wait five years, when most of them are married, you can sell them."

Man Bao: "..."

Zhou Lang thought of it and did it. He found the sickle and called Zhou Lang who had just gotten up and washed up. Then he woke up Si Wu Liu who was lying in bed, and they all went to the back mountain to cut wormwood.

At that time, many people in the village didn't get up.

When the Qian family entered the door, they saw wormwood piled in the yard, pile after pile, which looked very spectacular.

Mugwort seems to be a plant that grows everywhere, and it can grow very well easily. Even though no one fertilizes it and waters it, it grows tall and strong in some places with slightly thick soil, with branches and leaves.

Lush and thick.

Because they were doing business, the mugwort cut by Zhou Erlang and others were all of the best quality.
