Chapter 546: Food is the most important thing for the people
Just leave as soon as possible. After Brother Li explained to the two clerks from the Li Family Medical Hall, he gave them three days of paid leave and left the medical hall directly. Closed the door.
Brother Li went to the carriage and horse shop and rented a carriage. In addition to the carriage that Li Sanniang was driven to by Lao Shi every day when she was on duty, the group of more than ten people dragged the family with them. Go out of the city.
Now, even Xiao Huang and his three children have been taken away from the Li family and put in baskets.
According to what Luzhu'er said: "If there is no one at home, Xiao Huang and her children will be pitiful if they are left at home."
Originally, the second brother Li planned to ask two people to help go to Wujiacun to cut wheat for the second sister-in-law Li's family. Later, Lao Shi directly said: "I will just go and help. There is no need to ask outsiders."
Li Er The elder brother naturally declined. After all, the Li family knew that Qiuxiang and Lao Shi were just bad guys specially sent to protect Li Sanniang. They were not slaves of their Li family, nor were they related to the Li family.
In this way, where can I just use help from others at will?
However, Lao Shi insisted, and Brother Li could not stand still. In the end, Brother Li looked at Lao Shi and thanked him in advance.
At this point, everyone in the Li family, mother and daughter Wu Qiaolan and Baoya, got on the carriage and returned to Wujiacun.
Li Sanniang grew up in a welfare institution in modern times. Although she often worked, she was in the city after all and had never done farm work, let alone such physically demanding work as harvesting wheat.
However, Li Sanniang, who got off the carriage at the end of Wujiacun with Luzhu'er in hand, couldn't help but feel relaxed when she looked at the farmers busy on the sunba. , Li Sanniang felt that it was indeed the right decision to bring Lu Zhuer to the countryside to watch the wheat harvest.
Luzhuer is not the first time to Wujiacun, but it is indeed the first time to see the busy people on the sunba.
The little people stared at all this with wonder. The farmers were sweating profusely under the scorching sun. What they were drying was not only the wheat, but also the future survival and future life of the family.
While explaining to Lu Zhuer what kind of food wheat can be made into, Li Sanniang told Lu Zhuer how important the wheat harvest is to farmers.
At this time, Li Sanniang guessed that the invitation sent by Bi Qionglan must be related to wheat, and maybe it was about hybrid wheat.
In any era, food is the most important thing for people.
Only when people satisfy their own stomachs first and have food to eat when they are hungry can the most basic operation of a society be maintained.
It is a joke to talk about etiquette without the stomach.
This is what Guanzi meant when he said, "A warehouse is solid and you know etiquette, and you have enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace."
Li Sanniang had just asked Brother Li about the place mentioned on Bi Qionglan's invitation. It was about ten miles away from Wujia Village. It should be a village relatively close to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. .
Li Sanniang knew what was going on, so she followed the Li family to the Wu family.
There was an old man sitting under the tree at the head of the village. When he saw it was Brother Li, he quickly greeted him.
After all, Brother Li comes to the countryside all the year round to collect medicinal materials, and he is related to Wujia Village. He can be said to be the uncle of Wujia Village. Therefore, people in the village basically know Brother Li and have some respect for him. A great impression.
After all, the money you get from selling medicinal materials is money, right?
"Li Medicine Cabinet, are you here?"
The old man looked next to the second brother Li and saw that there were men, women, old and young, and asked with doubts on his face: "Li Medicine Cabinet, is the whole family here? "
The old man suddenly realized when he saw Lao Shi, who was standing next to Li Sanniang and was more than half a head taller than the others: "Ah, he is here to help the Wu family cut wheat!"
Then the old man saw Father Li who had a beard on his chin. At first glance, he looked different from others. The old man stood up and bowed and asked, "But Dr. Li from Herbal Medicine Hall?"
< br>Because the second brother Li married the second sister-in-law Li, and the Li family makes a living by practicing medicine, in Wujia Village, if anyone has an unbearable disease, they will basically ask for a donkey cart to go to Chang'an City. I came to see Li's father for medical treatment.
First, because this Li Family Medical Center is opened by the father of the second brother Li whom I know, so it is an acquaintance. In the eyes of Wujia Village people, since this is an acquaintance, they should not be deceived or cheated. Bullying.
After all, Second Sister-in-law Li is the daughter-in-law of the Li family. How can she cheat her in-laws?
The second one is naturally because Mr. Li understands that it is difficult for the villagers to make money. Every time the people in Wujia Village go to see a doctor, they only charge the cost of the herbal medicine, and there is no medical fee.
However, the people of Wujiacun are not that kind of shameless people. Every time someone comes to see Father Li for medical treatment, they know that Father Li confiscates their medical fees, but will bring some of his own property from the fields. Vegetables, or some mountain products, whether they are wild fruits or wild vegetables, it is always a good idea. Therefore, the people of Wujia Village respect Father Li very much.
If people eat whole grains, who can guarantee that they will not get sick?
It is very important to have a good relationship with the doctor.
When Father Li was chatting with the old man, the old man had already sent someone to go to the Wu family’s field to call the Wu family. At this moment, the Wu family’s Aweng and his eldest grandson were also rushing there with sickles. Come over.
After another long chat, it was almost time to have lunch.
The Wu family was so kind that they killed the two chickens they kept in the yard and made soup cakes mixed with white flour. It was a quite hearty meal.
Naturally, Mother Li was not the family waiting to catch the autumn wind. In fact, when the Li family came, they naturally brought gifts to the door.
Not only did he not take advantage of the Wu family, but he also subsidized the Wu family clearly because of Li Ersao's relationship.
After eating, drinking the barley tea fried by the farmer, and chatting for a while, under the scorching sun, everyone in the Wu family except Wu’s mother was ready to go again The fields are harvested.
Even the three children of the eldest brother of the Wu family, the oldest is less than fifteen years old and the youngest is only seven or eight years old, they have to carry baskets and follow their grandfather and father to collect wheat.
“This kind of late wheat was planted on the wasteland near the foot of the mountain that had only been cultivated for two years. The official family brought the seeds to the female agricultural officer.
At the beginning, we didn't expect that there would be wheat harvested so late. We just thought that since seeds cost nothing, at most we would only get one less crop of beans.
If you can get wheat, that will be a great thing.
We country folk are like no other, but we do have strength.
Therefore, after listening to the words of the female agricultural officer, each family put in two or three labors to plant this late wheat on the wasteland that had been cultivated for two years. "
Old man Wu was sitting on a wooden bench with his trouser legs rolled up, and Father Li next to him said this.
While fanning the cattail leaf fan, Mr. Wu continued to say to Father Li in a joyful tone: "I never thought that this wheat could be so drought-resistant!
The old man was cutting it in the field at noon. "Small, I estimate that the yield is not much different from the wheat we carefully cultivated in the first-class fields."
Although Father Li is a doctor, he has never farmed, but so what? Do you understand farmers’ love for crops and the importance of crop yields to farmers?
An extra handful of wheat means an extra mouthful of food and a life!
“If this is true, that would be a really good thing!
An extra bucket of food is good. "
Old man Wu grinned and replied: "That's not it!
Now that we have cut it off, we are not done yet.
The female agricultural officer sent someone to deliver the message. She will come to our Wujia Village tomorrow to weigh herself.
It was agreed at the beginning that we would have four officials and six families.
After all, we didn’t spend any money to get this wheat seed. We must give it to the officials. We are not unreasonable and heartless people. ”
“If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace.” This proverb comes from "Guanzi Herdsmen", which means that only when people have sufficient granaries and sufficient food and clothing can they take into account etiquette and pay attention to honor and shame.< br>
This sentence is actually talking about human nature. Only when people are rich can they improve their pursuits.
The converse is also true. If people's food and clothing problems cannot be solved, there is no way to be noble. The moral values cannot last long
