Chapter 82 It can still grow
Lu Chengjing's ears turned red, but he raised his chin slightly and allowed Shang Wan to move.
He said: "When my mother married my father, the Wang family was still in vain and needed support from the Lu family. My eldest uncle worked hard to find a place for Lu Chengyuan in Baihong Academy, and he never failed to repay his kindness."
"I see." Shang Wan took back his hand, turned to look at the curtain, and said loudly: "Have you cried enough? Come out when you have cried enough."
The small crying in the curtain suddenly stopped, Shi Shi came out with red eyes, and when he saw Lu Chengjing, tears and nose ran down uncontrollably.
Woohoo, why did my brother-in-law end up with such a beastly brother?
He didn’t even know. If he had known, he would have beaten that beast until it was full of teeth!
Shang Wan felt his head hurt from crying. He winked at Lu Chengjing and said, "Hurry up and comfort him. I'll be back soon. I don't want to see another big rabbit with red eyes."
Before Lu Chengjing could agree, she disappeared in a flash.
Lu Chengjing: "..."
He looked at the big rabbit with red eyes, sighed helplessly, and waved to Shitou to sit down and talk.
Shang Wan didn't know exactly how he was comforted. Anyway, by the time she finished beating the beast and went to the waterhole to take a bath, the big red-eyed rabbit had already gone back to sleep in the wooden shed.
There were only tiny flames swaying in the fire. Lu Chengjing was covered with a blue cloak and fell asleep leaning against his wheelchair.
The gray wolf lay at his feet, waving its tail in boredom to drive away flying insects. Hearing the noise, he stood up. When he saw it was Shang Wan, he let out a low whine in his throat and went back to his nest to sleep.
Shang Wan dried his hair hastily, extinguished the fire, and then gently picked up Lu Chengjing from the wheelchair.
Smelling a familiar aroma on the tip of his nose, Lu Chengjing didn't open his eyes and called vaguely: "Madam?"
"It's me." Shang Wan agreed and carried him into the wooden shed that had been transformed into three rooms and had a lot of things added to it.
Take off your shoes, socks and outer clothes, and tuck them into the soft bedding.
There was a bit of coolness in the quilt. Lu Chengjing half-opened his eyes sleepily and could vaguely see a blurry figure.
After the rustling sound passed, Shang Wan also lay down on the bed, easily put his arm on Lu Chengjing's waist, and hugged him.
Just as she closed her eyes, she noticed that the person next to her was touching her hair.
She said: "Dry it off."
The hand stopped moving and rested loosely on the side of her neck, and the breathing in her ear gradually became even.
Shang Wan blinked, raised his head slightly, pecked the person beside him on the chin, hugged the person closer, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, clouds accumulated in the sky, as thick as cotton wool, blocking the sun layer by layer, leaving some faint light.
The family had eaten the morning meal. Stone went into the cellar and dug out an old hoe from the corner.
The hoe blade was stained with rust and was so dull that it couldn't even cut grass. The wood of the hoe handle was also chipped here and there by rats. If you use this hoe to clear up wasteland, you won't be able to clear an acre of land even if you are exhausted.
Shitou came to Shang Wan and asked expectantly: "Sister, can you make a log for the hoe as usual?"
Shang Wan glanced at the hoe and asked, "Have you memorized the herbs today?"
Shitou puffed up his chest proudly, "I remembered ten of them when I woke up in the morning. They are all the ones on the drug store's list. I can definitely recognize them if I see them."
Only then did Shang Wan take the hoe, violently pull out the hoe handle that had been chewed into pits, and put it in front of his eyes to examine it.
"It can be made. You need to sharpen the hoe blade first. If it doesn't rain for a while, let's go into the mountains and find some medicinal materials to practice."
Theory must be combined with practice, and experience can be accumulated through actual combat.
Shitou was confused, "Sister, why don't we help the villagers work?"
I didn't bother going to the city yesterday, so I have to go and help today, right?
"Go over and walk around once you get what you want." Shang Wan said, "There are only so many jobs in the village, and there are so many people. Everyone hopes to do more to earn some money. When the disaster relief food comes out, there will be a lot of food to share. We can't afford it. I'm rushing to join in the fun." Shitou said, "But our family also needs food."
Shang Wan glanced at him and said, "With your small body, you still want to compete with the men in the village?"
They have been farming all year round, and they are covered in tendon meat, and as for the stones... let’s not even mention them.
Shitou felt underestimated.
He lowered his head and looked at his body. His arms were a little thinner, his legs were a little thinner, and his height was a little shorter. He was only sixteen and could still grow!
Shang Wan waved his hand, "Hurry up and sharpen your hoe. You'll need it for digging herbs later."
"Oh." Shitou obeyed and walked away holding the hoe.
Shang Wan picked a piece of solid wood and started cutting it. He compared it with the size of the hoe handle and tried to make it as smooth as possible with the axe.
Lu Chengjing wheeled his wheelchair over and looked at it quietly for a while before speaking, "Did you go to Lu's house last night?"
"Yeah." Shang Wan looked up at him, his eyes slightly curved, "I just happened to hear Mr. Lu losing his temper. I heard that Mr. An understood his kindness and sent someone to give him a plaque of 'House of Great Kindness'. I hope As usual, he called on the gentry to donate money and food to help the people of Dongning County tide over the difficulties. "
"I heard from the servants in the mansion that less than an hour after the plaque was delivered to the Lu Mansion, the squires all came to ask Mr. Lu for an explanation. They thought Mr. Lu was going to use their money and food to help the Lu family. With a good reputation, Lu Chengyuan went out to help, but was pointed in the nose and scolded by the excited squires, and even received a blow on the head. "
"The two parties got into a big quarrel and broke up. Didn't you see Mr. Lu's face? It was so green it could drip water. Eighteen generations of Mr. An's ancestors were dragged by him. I came out and scolded him again and again.”
Shang Wan felt that the trip last night was really worth it.
"By the way, Lu Chengyuan fell down when he left the study last night, fell down the stone steps, and broke his leg."
Lu Chengjing: "...He fell down by himself?"
Shang Wan blinked, "What else?"
Isn't it normal to hurt your head and suddenly feel dizzy and unable to stand still, fall down the stone steps and break your leg?
She sighed: "It's a pity that it broke just once."
She originally planned to fall ten times or eight times, but it was a pity.
Lu Chengjing: "..."
He had a subtle premonition that even if Lu Chengyuan was alive, his future life would not be easy.
The clouds in the sky were so thick that they seemed to be rolling down, and the wind blowing from all directions carried the chill of spring.
Shang Wan polished the hoe handle and assembled it with the polished hoe blade. It looked like that.
I happily dug the stone twice and felt that it was okay. I couldn't wait to carry the hoe to open up wasteland.
Shang Wan: "..."
The young man still has never experienced the hardships of farming. With your face facing the loess and your back turned to the sky, no one with super powers can withstand the creation.
"No hurry, let's go to the village first."
"okay."
Shang Wan took his silly brother around the village, helped out a little bit, and gained a sense of presence. He made about a point and then went home.
The sky is still overcast, and I don't know when the rain will fall.
Shang Wan raised his head and glanced at the sky, lifted his backpack and slung it over his shoulder, calling to Shitou, "Let's go into the mountain and have a look."
