Chapter 122 Su Xiaoxiao rescues Liu Qiaomei’s family
Sure enough, after Su Xiaoxiao gave the drawing to Wang Er, Wang Er and Sun used this tool to plant rice, saving a lot of effort.
After Mrs. Sun planted all the rice seedlings in her family's fields, her waist was not so tired that it hurt so much that she couldn't straighten up.
Su Xiaoxiao planted peppers and soybeans in her own land, which actually puzzled Sun and Wang Er, "If you plant these, what will you eat next year?"
"Sister Sun, you don't understand this. In fact, soybeans are most suitable for planting in soil like my home. After the beans are planted in the future, this land can be well nourished, and there will be no delay in growing other foods."
Although Sun didn't know what Su Xiaoxiao was talking about, it sounded quite reasonable.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's very confident look, they had no choice but to nod their heads in agreement.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that this time the new soy sauce was successfully made. If she wanted to promote this kind of soy sauce, she would need more soybeans to make the new soy sauce. However, if she did not have soybeans on hand and could not purchase soybeans, then for Su Xiaoxiao Say, this is a big problem.
But if you grow soybeans at home, you can solve this problem very well.
Su Xiaoxiao asked the grain and oil stores in the town. Basically, the price of soybeans was about three cents a pound, which was about to catch up with the price of grain. Su Xiaoxiao felt that if she wanted to start making soy sauce and couldn't buy beans, it would be a big problem. Big problem.
She doesn't want to spend too much money to make soy sauce. This is not a businessman's fault. As a businessman, you must consider the cost issue.
After Su Xiaoxiao finished working in the fields, she ran to the jam stall in the town to deliver jam. She felt very fulfilled after working back and forth.
Driving an ox cart along the field path, looking at the villagers busy in the fields on both sides, Su Xiaoxiao finally felt the beauty of rural life.
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao cherishes her current life even more, but she feels that no matter why she stays here, she must work hard to live. This is the true meaning of life.
While I was thinking about it, dark clouds started rolling in the sky. Raining is common at this time. As the saying goes, spring rain is as precious as oil.
It's a good thing it's raining at this time. Su Xiaoxiao didn't take an umbrella. The mule carriage didn't have a shed. It wasn't as good as the Wu Peng carriage, which had a place to keep out the wind and rain.
She saw the village ancestral hall in front of her, but it was in a dilapidated state and had not been repaired for many years. It was okay for shelter from the rain, after all, there was a sheltered place above her head.
Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and went in. She found that it was quite damp inside.
She was thinking about finding a dry place to sit down and rest, but she didn't expect the scene in front of her to surprise her greatly.
What is going on?
Su Xiaoxiao shivered when she saw an old man lying in front of her. She was very thin. Next to the old man, there was a young woman who was crying. He was still shouting: "Daddy, daddy, don't let anything happen to you?"
The voice sounded familiar to Su Xiaoxiao. She quickly took a closer look and found that the person in front of her was none other than the woman and her father whom they rescued from Huang Dahu's home a few days ago.
This woman's name is Liu Qiaomei. She is an opera singer. Her father, Liu Adi, is an erhu player. He took his daughter to perform as a performer to make a living. However, she was attracted by Huang Dahu, who likes to listen to operas. She insisted on marrying Liu Qiaomei as his wife. The fifth concubine.
In fact, Huang Dahu has a lot of wives and concubines. He himself is in his sixties. If Liu Qiaomei marries him, she will fall into a pit of fire.
However, after Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng rescued Liu Qiaomei, they gave her a sum of money to let her and her father live in other places. How come they ended up in the City God's Temple in Baihua Village? It looked quite miserable.
Liu Qiaomei was crying when she heard footsteps coming from behind her. She looked back very alertly. When she found out it was Su Xiaoxiao, she didn't expect it. She quickly got up and came over to give Su Xiaoxiao a gift.
"Benefactor, why are you here?"
Su Xiaoxiao replied: "I happened to go to town to deliver goods. It started raining heavily when I was rushing home. I was going to come in to take shelter. What are you..."
When Liu Qiaomei heard this, she sighed and said, "My dear benefactor, forget it. My father and I were planning to go to other places to join our relatives, but we encountered bandits on the way. We tossed and turned, we had no money in our pockets, and we didn't dare to go out to perform to make money. , I had to make a living by begging every day. I painted my face black and went out in disguise to beg for food for my father. But my father has had a fever these days and has not been well. "
Liu Qiaomei shed tears as she spoke.
She looked very sad, but there was nothing she could do except worry.
Su Xiaoxiao saw Father Liu lying on the ground among a pile of hay. He looked not in good condition.
His face was as pale as a purple sheep's liver, his mouth was tightly closed, and he couldn't even drink water. His body was covered in cold sweat, and his whole body was shaking all the time and couldn't stop at all.
If this continues, the old man probably won't be able to survive tonight.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that the rain outside started to become lighter. She found some rags in the City God's Temple, which could be used to protect her from the wind and rain. Su Xiaoxiao then said to Liu Qiaomei: "Hurry up and carry your father to my car, and I will send him off." Go to the hospital in town to see a doctor. If he continues like this, I’m afraid he won’t survive tonight.”
Only then did Liu Qiaomei realize the seriousness of the situation and started to tremble with fear. She helped Su Xiaoxiao carry his father to Su Xiaoxiao's mule cart.
Without further ado, Su Xiaoxiao saw that the rain was gradually getting lighter, and she had to take Aunt Liu to the town to see a doctor immediately.
Su Xiaoxiao swung her whip and drove the mule cart very fast, and the group headed towards the Ci'an Hall area of the town.
When they arrived at the door of Ci'an Hall, Su Xiaoxiao didn't use the medicine boy to go in to report. She and Liu Qiaomei carried Liu's father into Ci'an Hall.
At this time, Mr. Li was treating someone, and when he was telling the person what he should pay attention to in his diet, he suddenly saw Su Xiaoxiao and the others barging in.
"What's going on?"
Su Xiaoxiao explained the reasons. Mr. Li and Su Xiaoxiao were very familiar with each other, and he sent away those who were seeing the doctor later.
If you're in a hurry, go see another doctor at Ci'an Tang. If you're not in a hurry, just wait until tomorrow to see Mr. Li again.
After the explanation, Mr. Li came over to see Liu's father. Of course, Liu's condition was so serious that even if Su Xiaoxiao hadn't sent him here, Mr. Li had to give him priority.
Mr. Li sighed after taking Aunt Liu's pulse.
"What's wrong? Mr. Li, this old man's illness is..."
"He got sick from overwork, lack of nutrition, and some stubborn illnesses, so he got this typhoid fever. It's okay, I have a solution."
