Chapter 273 Wang Fang: Why is there no movement at all?
Zhang An is finally free now that Zhou Yang's family is at home, and he plans to take a good rest for a few days.
Zhou Yang is getting married these days, and Zhang An is following his uncle to take care of Zhou Yang's family affairs.
Although it was two people together, usually everyone would go to the old uncle only if something big happened.
Everyone was looking for Zhang An to find common things, such as whether something was missing or whether he should buy or borrow it.
Although these things are not big, they are really tiring when summarized.
The main thing is that you have to worry about everything big and small, you have to keep everything in mind, and you have to consider many things. It is really not easy to work hard.
But there is nothing we can do about it. From now on, there will be not only Zhou Yang's family in the village, but also the families of several uncles and grandparents. He will have to contribute so much to any matter, big or small.
After all, these are relatively close blood relatives. They haven’t released the fifth server yet, so they are all considered a family.
As a family, naturally there are people who have the ability to contribute. If you encounter someone who has no money, you may have to help with money.
Moreover, the last time Zhang An got married, he didn't care about anything from beginning to end, just like a person who had nothing to do.
It was all solved by a few elders and Zhou Yang, so this time, whether in terms of kinship or returning favors, this is what Zhang An needs to do.
After all, in terms of human relations, if you come and I go, only then can we all get along with each other.
On the day after New Year's Day, both primary and secondary schools begin to prepare for the final exam.
The children in the village looked a little happy, but also a little worried.
I’m happy that I’m going on winter vacation after the exams, so I can have a long period of fun.
What worries me is that I don’t have confidence in the exam and I don’t know how many points I can get in this exam.
After all, it is the end of the year, and the exam results are the most important thing in the children's hearts.
No one is afraid during the summer vacation. After all, if you fail in the exam, you will be scolded a few times by your family at most, and you will be beaten at most.
But not now, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Not only will I feel uneasy at home if I don’t do well in the exam, but I am afraid that all the New Year’s money will be wasted.
Children in the village are never afraid of being scolded or beaten. After all, they have been used to it since childhood.
I am afraid that during the Chinese New Year, other children will use their New Year’s money to buy various snacks and toys, while I can only watch.
Zhang An felt that they might be thinking too much about this matter.
No matter how old a child is, they may not get much lucky money.
And even if there is, your parents will keep it for you for one night at most.
When I arrived in the first year of junior high school, I confiscated it from you, saying that I was keeping it for you.
I don’t know who gave them the courage to even think about buying snacks and toys.
For the next three days, Su Ying will go to school to invigilate exams.
Zhang An himself had nothing to do at home, so he thought of using the remaining open space on the melon patch as a medicine field.
Since studying medicine with Zhang Yixing, Zhang An has planned to grow some medicinal materials of his own.
After all, he studied Chinese medicine from Zhang Yixing. On the one hand, it would test how well he studied, and on the other hand, it would depend on the quality of the medicinal materials.
Many people in later generations say that traditional Chinese medicine is no longer effective and that it has no effect on any disease.
This is not wrong, but there is a reason after all.
On the one hand, there are fewer and fewer people who have inherited traditional Chinese medicine. Many people who use the name of traditional Chinese medicine are not very good at learning it themselves.
On the other hand, it is the medicinal reasons.
In the medicinal materials market of later generations, people are really anxious to see it.
Good medicinal materials are basically sold and exported to other countries, while those used domestically are basically medicinal residues.
Same disease, same prescription, same medicinal materials.
It was possible to cure patients thirty years ago, but the effect thirty years later was minimal.
And this is the same old doctor with more experience than before.
So in later generations, everyone knew that wild Chinese herbal medicine dug from the mountains was effective.
So whenever you encounter it, people who know the goods will buy it at a high price.
But how many can there be? After all, most Chinese herbal medicines have been over-exploited to earn foreign exchange.
Because there are not many left, they are protected by the country.
With being on the big list, who dares to take the risk of eating the country’s bread?
Although there are now many medicinal herb resources in the mountains, and there are no policy restrictions, most medicinal materials can be found in the mountains.
But Zhang An himself still doesn’t know how much it will be used in the future.
Knowing that many wild herbs will be listed on the market soon.
Zhang An will not let himself become dependent on the resources of the mountains.
Of course, if he encounters useful medicinal materials in the mountains, or if others dig them up, Zhang An will definitely not let them go.
And there is another reason, that is, Zhang An knows that the medicinal materials grown in the space are definitely much more effective than those outside.
And he couldn't get it out of space out of thin air, so he wanted to open up a medicinal field just to deceive others.
It will save others the trouble of finding something wrong when taking medicine out of the space in the future.
Especially for certain medicinal materials, if they are on the national list, it will be difficult to explain at that time.
When he thought of opening up a medicinal field, Zhang An began to think about how big of an area he would need to open up.
Then Zhang An inspected the space again to see what medicinal materials he had collected.
Finally, I was thinking about which medicinal materials are worth planting.
"Honey, stop sitting, it's time to go to bed."
Zhang An was thinking deeply when Su Ying shouted at him twice.
On a cold night in the twelfth lunar month, it undoubtedly takes a lot of courage to lie down.
Su Ying was a little afraid of lying on the cold bed alone.
Su Ying usually had to correct her homework, so Zhang An lay down first.
When Zhang An warmed up the quilt, Su Ying finished her homework and it was time to go to bed.
But Su Ying had no homework to grade today, and Zhang An was thinking about something, so the bed was still cold.
In this era, very few people in the village would buy electric blankets for use.
Firstly, it is a waste of electricity, and secondly, electric blankets are not cheap.
Many people use rubber hot water bottles. They put a bottle of boiling water in them at night and put them on the bed to warm their feet.
Even though some people think that hot water bottles require money to buy, they want to save the money.
So they will also go to the clinic and ask for a few saline bottles, which will have the same effect.
It's just that if the salt water bottle is filled with extremely hot boiling water, it will not warm your feet, but will burn them.
After all, this was Zhang An's personal experience. At that time, Wang Fang had just put the boiling water in the quilt, and Zhang An put his foot in and got a big blister.
In fact, boiling water is usually filled with salt water bottles, and it basically has to be put into the quilt an hour in advance.
In this way, you can warm the quilt and bed, and then when you go to bed, the salt water bottle will not be so hot.
It’s not that Zhang An’s family can’t afford an electric blanket, but Zhang An feels that once he becomes dependent on the electric blanket, it will be difficult to get rid of it.
And it is said that this thing is not good for the waist if you sleep too much, so Zhang An naturally keeps away from it.
In addition, Su Ying felt that holding her man was like a ball of fire, more effective than an electric blanket, so she didn't think of using that thing.
At this point, Zhang An has been reduced to a bed-warmer.
“Hey, here you go, just wait for me to wash my feet.”
Hearing his wife’s call, Zhang An did not think about it further.
Go downstairs and take out the footbath and pour some hot water. After soaking your feet comfortably, you return to the bedroom.
The next morning, the rooster at home began to crow.
The sleeping couple was quickly awakened by this natural alarm clock.
Although the sky is still a little gray now, it is already a quarter past seven on the clock. After all, it is a severe winter, and it is normal for the sun to rise later, but we still have to give God some face.
"What's wrong, Teacher Xiao Su? You don't want to get up yet."
Zhang An got off the bed quickly. After getting dressed, he found that his wife had pulled up the quilt again. Keep your eyes closed.
There was no class for the past two days, and she spent half the night helping Zhou Yang pick up her bride, so Su Ying had a little sleep these two days.
But laziness is really poisonous. Just a little exposure to it makes me want to sleep every day, just like an addiction.
"Let me sleep a little longer. It's too comfortable under the quilt and it's too cold outside. I don't want to get up."
Su Ying didn't even want to open her eyes and murmured to Zhang An. road.
As he spoke, he also lifted the quilt up to his chin, covering his whole body tightly.
This quilt is the silk winter quilt specially made by Zhang An's two aunts for their nephew's wedding.
Although the whole process is troublesome, it takes not only time but also a lot of energy.
But the silk quilt made is not only light and light to carry, but also keeps warm when covering the body.
“We can’t sleep anymore. We have to invigilate the exam today. If we sleep again, the students won’t have papers to write.”
Although Zhang An also wants his wife to sleep a little longer , but after all, business matters.
I still remember one time some time ago, Su Ying couldn't get up in the morning, so she asked Zhang An to wake her up in the morning.
But after Zhang An called her once, Su Ying felt a little sleepy. At that time, Zhang An stopped calling her and wanted her to sleep a little longer.
But Su Ying got up late that day and had no time to eat breakfast. In the end, she went out in a panic and rushed to school.
From then on, although Zhang An felt sorry for his wife, he still had business matters.
Although Su Ying was allowed to sleep a little longer, the harm of skipping breakfast was still quite serious, and Zhang An didn't want to make the same mistake again.
Finally, under Zhang An’s nagging, Su Ying reluctantly got up.
At this time Wang Fang had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for the young couple to get up.
Since Su Ying moved in, Wang Fang got up very early every day and specially prepared breakfast for his daughter-in-law. He doted on Su Ying even more than his own daughter.
“Well, the buns mom made today are delicious.”
Su Ying picked up a bun and put it in her mouth. The rich flavor of the bun filling stimulated her taste buds.
Wang Fang only learned this steamed bun recently because she felt that the breakfast at home only had the same kind of stuff, and she was worried that her daughter-in-law would be tired of it.
So I recently learned a skill from Lao Li who sells steamed buns in town, and I even gave them a lot of vegetables for this purpose.
"Mom, do Baozi Li's family also sell these small steamed buns?"
Looking at the drawer of steamed buns on the table that were about the same size as steamed buns, Zhang An felt a little strange.
Because Baozi Li and his family sell very large buns in town. After all, they cost 50 cents each. They are as big as a big bowl, and there are a lot of fillings.
But after his mother learned how to make it, she actually made it so small, one bite at a time. Zhang An almost thought that her mother was making Xiao Long Bao.
“No, I changed it myself.” Wang Fang said with a smile.
“If we make it so big, Xiaoying might not be able to eat any of it, so I thought of making it smaller with more stuffing so that Xiaoying can eat more noodles.”
Noodles I made it last night and kept it there until today. I made the stuffing when I got up in the morning.
Maybe it’s because the flour is ground from the wheat planted by Zhang An in space, so the buns made are particularly delicious.
But there was Su Ying next to her. She ate several at once and could hardly stop.
“Oops, I accidentally ate too much, what should I do?”
Su Ying looked at the steamer in front of her. Except for Zhang An who ate two of the whole drawer, all the others were gone. It was eaten by her.
She was not worried that she would gain weight if she ate too much, but that she would feel uncomfortable if she held her stomach for a while.
"It's okay. I'll make you a cup of hawthorn juice. Let's drink some before going to school."
Zhang An said, took out a few hawthorns from the refrigerator, put them in the juicer and started to squeeze the juice. .
Zhang An planted these hawthorns in the space. He picked a lot of them some time ago and put them in the refrigerator.
Just to prevent today's situation, the problem of indigestion after eating too much.
The hawthorn grown by Zhang An himself tastes very good for digestion, much better than any stomach-building and digestion tablets.
Su Ying finished drinking the hawthorn juice, looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock, and went out to school.
The students start taking the exam at nine o'clock, and all the invigilators will go to collect the test papers at 8:30. It's neither too early nor too late.
But something unexpected happened. After Su Ying left, Zhang An was caught by his mother and asked questions.
"Xiao An, do you have no problem with Xiao Ying?"
The old mother asked suddenly, which confused Zhang An.
"Ah, no, what problem can we have."
"No problem, then how come you have been married for a few months, and there is no movement from Xiaoying."
Wang Fang frowned and said.
Now Zhang An finally knew what his mother was talking about.
This was all within his expectation. After all, his parents urged marriage before they got married, and they started to have children after they got married.
After the eldest child is born in the family, it is estimated that the family will start urging for a second child. This is an eternal habit of Chinese parents.
"Mom, you can't rush this. It's not that there's anything wrong with us, but I haven't wanted it for a while."
As soon as he said this, Wang Fang became anxious. , although Zhang An is not very old.
But in the village, there are many people who are much younger than Zhang An, and their children will run away to make soy sauce.
She had wanted to be a grandmother for a long time, and finally her son got married and his daughter-in-law got married, and her wish was about to come true.
But today her son suddenly told her that he didn't want to have children now, and the old lady started to get angry.
"Mom, it's not what you think. Please listen to my explanation."
When seeing his old mother's eyes red and about to explode, Zhang An said quickly.
“It’s not that Su Ying and I don’t want children, but my godfather took a look at Su Ying some time ago and found that Su Ying was in poor health.”
“So during this period, The godfather gave her a dose of medicine, and it was obvious that Su Ying would take care of her body. "
"When her body is at its best, it will be better for the fetus and Su Ying's own body."< br>
It's not that Su Ying can't get pregnant with her current physique, but Zhang An is not willing to let Su Ying take risks when she can manage.
After all, giving birth to a child is such a big deal, who can guarantee that nothing will happen.
"Ah, Xiaoying is not in good health? Why didn't you tell me?"
Wang Fang became anxious as soon as she heard that her daughter-in-law was in poor health.
It's not that she has any other thoughts, but she really cares about Su Ying. After all, she is extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
"Mom, don't worry, it's not that she's not in good health, but that when the condition is at its best, it will be good for both the child and her to get pregnant."
"The reason why I don't tell you is because I'm afraid you will be anxious."
After listening to Zhang An's words, Wang Fang calmed down.
But after repeated inquiries, Wang Fang still felt uneasy.
At this time, Zhang and his party came to see Zhang An, so Wang Fang simply asked the real owner directly.
After all these years, Wang Fang has no doubts about Zhang Yixing's abilities.
"Sister-in-law, women's physiques are different. Xiaoying's health is not bad, but after conditioning, it will also be good for the fetus, and when the child is born in the future, there will be no root causes of disease."
After receiving repeated assurances from Zhang and his party, Wang Fang finally felt relieved.
She understood what Zhang Yixing said. After all, in this era, there were many women who had illnesses caused by giving birth to children.
Some are left over during confinement, and some are caused when giving birth.
Furthermore, Wang Fang herself suffered from a disease when she gave birth to a child, so she could not continue to give birth to a younger brother or younger sister for Zhang An.
So she doesn’t want her daughter-in-law to be like her, even if she has a little problem.
