Chapter 396: The House Troubler in the 1970s (27)

"Impossible!" Xu Laosan retorted, "Your grandpa also has medicinal wine. This thing is useless for cheating money."

Xu Yin's face was expressionless: "We won't know until tomorrow whether it's useful or not. Hurry up! Mom, you press it on Dad first, and I'll teach you which acupuncture points to press."

“You still need to touch acupuncture points? I don’t understand!” Chen Huilan waved her hands nervously.

“It’s okay, mom, just do as I say.”

Xu Yin taught, Chen Huilan pressed, making Xu Laosan groan.

“Hey, I thought it would hurt when I pressed it, but it’s actually not bad. It feels numb after being pressed for a long time. It’s so comfortable!”

　　"Pa!" Chen Huilan hit him, "Get up when you feel comfortable, and you can do it for me. While my daughter is still here, do it as she said."

　　　…”

 Xu Laosan got up reluctantly.

But after I got up, I found that the sore places on my body had really eased a lot.

"What kind of medicinal wine is this? Is it so effective? It's much more effective than the one your grandpa bought before."

  …“…if you buy it through someone else, it’s fine as long as it’s useful.”

 After Xu Yin taught her father how to press acupuncture points, she went back to her room and fed herself two Yangrong Pills.

She was not physically tired, but mentally tired. Driving a couple of people to the fields was more tiring than driving mules or horses.

 It seems that without some sweetness, they probably won’t be able to survive the double grab.

So, the next morning, before dawn, she got up and patted the couple’s door:

“Dad, Mom, I’m going to go to the mountains to see if I can catch a pheasant and come back. I’ll make chicken soup for you at noon. Can you go to work today?”

Hearing that there was pheasant soup to drink and pressing the acupuncture points before going to bed, Xu Laosan struggled to sit up and said, "Yes, yes, yes! You go! Your mother and I will get up right away."

 Speaking, he shook his daughter-in-law awake. The couple should share joys and sorrows together.

 Chen Huilan yawned and responded: "I can lift my arms now, and my **** bones are not as sore as yesterday. I can still hold on. Girl, can you really catch a pheasant?"

 The key is the last sentence.

 Xu Yin: “…I’ll try my best.”

 Actually, this area is all small hills. It takes half a day to climb from the foot of one mountain to the foot of the other mountain. It is not a deep forest, so how can she catch so many pheasants.

 It's just a reason.

She can walk quickly and can reach the top of the mountain in half an hour and climb to the other side of the mountain.

 The farming has been busy recently. Even if the villagers go up the mountain, they only hang around this side of the mountain and have no time to go to the other side of the mountain.

Xu Yin dug through the grass and found a nest of wild eggs. She took six and kept six.

 Then he took out a Taoyuanxing pheasant and stuffed it into the backpack.

I saw a honey locust tree on the way down the mountain, so I picked a few handfuls of honey locust beans and took them home for washing.

These days, you have to pay a ticket to buy a piece of soap. You only need to pay if you encounter a defective product, but this opportunity is rare.

 Unless you get up early and queue up at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative like buying meat, you might be able to make it.

 But she is willing to queue up to eat meat, but not so much to buy soap.

Anyway, the market will be liberalized in a few years. For the time being, it’s not a bad idea to just make do with sapodilla beans. It’s all natural and has no additives! Easy to use and environmentally friendly!

 Before returning home, I took a different route, detoured to the old house, and gave the old man a bottle of medicinal wine.

“Grandma, grandpa went to the fields?”

“Yes! While you can still work, earn more work points and save more food.”

Mrs. Xu makes breakfast alone at home. After breakfast, she also has to go to the field.

 I can’t do anything else, but I can help in the drying field and earn some work points.

“Wait for grandpa to rub this medicinal wine on the sore areas when he comes back.” Xu Yin left the medicinal wine to Grandma Xu and gave her six wild eggs.

With the surprise and surprise in Mrs. Xu's eyes, she whispered into her ear: "I went up the mountain to pick it up. I was lucky enough to catch a pheasant. I will bring you and grandpa a bowl of chicken soup at noon."

“Yo! Did you catch a pheasant? You’re lucky! No need to send it away, just keep it for you to eat. We have to be busy for several days. Can your father handle it?”

Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her youngest son and was worried that his skin would peel off due to fatigue.

Xu Yin smiled and said: "There is one. It can't be kept in the hot weather. It's safest to eat it in the stomach."

 There was not much delay after I put down my things, as I still had to go home and make breakfast. After Mrs. Xu waited for her husband to come back, she took out her granddaughter’s filial gifts and showed them to him with a smile on her face:

"This is medicinal wine. Yin Yatou asked you to rub the sore parts and said it was very effective. This is a pheasant egg. She went up the mountain today and touched the pheasant nest. Not only did she pick up the egg, but she also caught a pheasant. , he said he would deliver chicken soup to us at noon."

Old man Xu had a smile on his face, and he was very worried in his heart, but he said: "This girl, just keep it for yourself and eat it. You can take it here and there without fear of being bumped into."

"That's what I said, I told her not to give it away, but she insisted on giving it away..." Old Mrs. Xu smiled so hard that her eyes creased several times, "Old man, are you hungry? Eat quickly, and rub it with medicinal wine after eating."

"Next time, tell her not to spend this money." Old man Xu picked up the medicinal wine bottle. There was no label on it, just a small brown bottle. I guess some barefoot doctor prepared it himself. He shook his head, "I've bought it before, it's nothing. use."

“Hey, since Yin Yatou bought it, you can use it. When you wake up in the morning, don’t you keep saying that your arm hurts and you can’t lift it up?”

 Old man Xu sighed.

That’s right, I bought everything, so there’s no need to waste more, but this thing is really useless.

 “A sneeze!”

  Xu·Barefoot Doctor·Yin sneezed at home and continued to seize the time to cook.

　　　Xu Laosan and his wife came back for breakfast after having **** for an hour.

 Pickled cucumbers, kimchi, scrambled eggs with chili, and a bowl of white rice.

During the busy farming period, Xu Yin steamed dry rice for breakfast, so she might not be hungry with porridge.

Xu Laosan finished two bowls of white rice with scrambled eggs and chili peppers. Thinking of the fragrant pheasant soup at noon, he put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.

 Don’t eat, save some food for lunch.

“Yinyin, where did you buy the medicinal wine? It really works! I cut the rice in the morning and my arms are no longer sore at all.”

 Chen Huilan nodded in agreement: "Me too, my waist and **** bones are much better, unlike last night when I was in so much pain that I couldn't even sit still."

Xu Yin was the last one to finish the meal and got up to clean up the dishes: "I press it every night before going to bed, it will be effective. Dad, mother, are you still harvesting rice today?"

“I am cutting the rice, and your mother is going to winnow the millet in the afternoon. What are you doing, my dear?”

 “I plow the fields.”

The Seven-Star Brigade currently does not have tractors, but only a few old buffaloes. There are not enough cattle during the double raid, so people have to form several teams to pull the plows.

 Xu Yin took the initiative to ask for this job.

 The production captain was both pleased and worried.

 Happily, if everyone is as proactive as her, they won’t have to worry about completing the task;

What worries her is that she is a **** after all, and plowing is a demanding job. Can she handle it?

Xu Laosan and his wife also said the same:

"How about letting the captain change? How can I let you go to a girl's house? You go to the grain drying field and help your mother."

“Yes, Yin Yin, plowing the land doesn’t just need to be done quickly, it also requires great strength.”

 “Am I not strong enough?”

　　　…”

 One sentence choked both of us.

 Come on, such strength is rare among young people, not to mention girls.

The two of them stopped chattering and rested for a while after eating, then continued down to the ground carrying the water bottle and wearing straw hats.

 “Yin Yin, don’t forget the chicken soup!”

 Before going out, Xu Laosan turned his head and shouted.

 Xu Yin: “…”

 I almost forgot about it.

I washed the bowls, cleaned the stove, prepared the pheasants, boiled them over high heat, put down a handful of soaked mushrooms and a few dried jujubes, and then turned off the firewood, leaving only the charcoal stars to stew.

To ensure that the water in the pot would not burn out or dry up, Xu Yin put on her straw hat, picked up the kettle and took the time to go out.

 When the production team leader came to inspect the progress, Xu Yin had just plowed an acre and came up to take a drink of water.

 “How are you? Are you tired?”

"It's not bad." Xu Yin shook her arm and said, "Captain, why don't our brigade buy a tractor like other brigade? This way, we can save time and effort during the busy farming period, and we can also go to the city to earn extra money during the off-farming period. "

"Do you think you can buy a tractor if you want? There are only a few quotas every year. After the commune applied to our brigade, there has been no news. But even if you are qualified to buy, the party secretary said that you are not sure whether you want to buy it or not. No one has bought it. It's open! Who's going to drive it back?" The captain took the time to take out a cigarette and smoked one.

 Xu Yin’s eyes lit up: “I can do it!”

 She is so good at this! He was once a little expert who broke through S level many times!
