Chapter 146
Da'an's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Yang Ruoqing's plans for the future.
"Sister, it costs a lot of money to build a new house. Can we save that much money?" Daan asked again.
Yang Ruoqing smiled, while stirring the sour water in the bowl, she took the time to glance at him.
"Why don't I have confidence in you, sister?"
"No, just"
"Silly brother, don't worry about saving money. With your sister here, I will not only build a new house and celebrate the New Year, but I will also send you to elementary school."
"Education"
Da'an's voice couldn't help but get excited.
"Yes, you are already eight years old and will be nine in spring. It's time for you to learn some lessons."
As Yang Ruoqing spoke, she poured the acidic water she had prepared into the pot.
In this era, everything is of inferior quality, but reading is the only one who is superior.
No matter how capable she is, she will be rich as hell.
However, businessmen did not have a high social status in this era.
It would be better for someone with a strong background and close ties with big forces.
People like her family, who have climbed up from the bottom of the countryside, make more money, and the more people will envy and envy them, and trouble will follow one after another.
Every dynasty prospers but its people suffer.
Death, people suffer.
If you want to make yourself and your family live a more secure and secure life, you have to climb up and not be at the bottom of society.
Therefore, she will not let her two younger brothers, like their ancestors, have to deal with the dirt in front of and behind the village all their lives, relying on the weather for food and clothing.
She wanted to surrender them, reverse their fate, and plant two big shade trees for her home.
"Sister, I don't want to be educated. I want to stay at home and help you and my mother with farm work and make tofu for you."
After the brief excitement passed, Daan frowned and said.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
"Silly brother, look at your future. You are a man. You live around an acre of land and a cooking pot. What future do you have? Studying is the best way out for a family like ours."
"But, sister, didn't you say that Mu Zichuan was useless and a scholar, so why did you still send me to a bachelor's school?" Da'an asked, tilting his head.
Yang Ruoqing was speechless.
Is she lucky or unlucky to meet such a smart and wise brother?
She suddenly felt like she was dropping a brick on her foot.
Fortunately, she is thick-skinned enough, and even if she overthrows herself, she will be blushing and her heart will not beat.
"Tsk." Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "You are different from Mu Zichuan. He has a sour smell all over his body, just like this brine, so sour."
"You are different. You are the hope of our family. Study hard, and in the future you will honor your ancestors, revitalize your homeland, serve your motherland, and save the world. The burden of saving the people in the world will fall on your shoulders. Work harder. My sister is optimistic about you."
Daan "."
"Qing'er, how's the tofu done?"
Mrs. Sun returned to the kitchen and came over to check what was going on in the pot.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and raised her head, "Mom, it's almost done. You can scoop it out of the pot."
"okay"
Mrs. Sun turned around and walked towards the kitchen wall over there. The two door panels had already been removed and erected there.
As usual, a tofu mold was placed above with wood, and two old patched sheets were laid out inside.
Yang Ruoqing brought the wooden bucket, and together with Mrs. Sun, scooped the tofu brains in the pot into the wooden bucket, and then evenly poured them into the tofu mold.
"Da'an, do you want to drink tofu nao?"
Yang Ruoqing asked while scooping.
Daan shook his head without hesitation, "I drank it last time, but I won't drink it this time."
These tofu puffs are made by my sister who weighs the beans and tofu and delivers them to restaurants in town.
He can't drink it. If he drinks it, he won't be able to make enough tofu. That's not good.
Yang Ruoqing knew what Daan was thinking and said, "It's okay. A few bowls of it will be enough to make fifty kilograms of tofu. Go get a few bowls and we'll all have a bowl later."
This family is very poor.
However, no matter how difficult the conditions are, all conditions must be created to allow the family to supplement their nutrition.
You can’t eat meat every now and then, so you can’t skip protein intake.
Their siblings are all growing and developing, and the seedlings cannot wither.
Yang Huazhong was in his prime when he suffered a leg injury and had to take supplements.
Mr. Sun was only in his thirties, but he looked haggard, skinny, and lacked nutrition.
Tofu nao, drink a bowl every now and then, it is good for your family’s health
After dinner, Yang Ruoqing looked at the tofu soaked in water in the four buckets in the corner with a smile on her face.
Fifty pounds of tofu, one hundred yuan, all in these four buckets.
At night, she went to borrow a wheelbarrow from Uncle Daniu's house. As soon as tomorrow dawn dawned, she and Luo Fengtang took the tofu to Juweixuan in the town and handed it to Chef Zhou personally.
Because Yang Ruoqing was going to town tomorrow morning, after the tofu was ready, Mrs. Sun urged Yang Ruoqing to go back to the house to rest.
However, Yang Ruoqing brought a basin of hot water and brought it to Yang Huazhong's bedside.
"Mom, I'm not sleepy right now. It's not too late to rub my legs for my dad before going to bed."
As she spoke, she sat beside Yang Huazhong's bed and lifted the quilt from the foot of the bed.
During these days, no matter how busy or tired she was during the day, before going to bed every night, she would take out a stick of incense to massage Yang Huazhong's legs to relax the nerves in his legs.
Yang Huazhong leaned there, the man's face was filled with relief. He was also used to being treated like this by his daughter.
Yang Ruoqing massaged Yang Huazhong's legs and asked him how he felt.
Yang Huazhong thought seriously and replied, "During these days, when I sleep until late at night, the gaps between my bones feel numb and itchy, as if they are being scratched by ants."
Yang Ruoqing listened very carefully and remembered every word in her heart.
"Dad, numbness is a sign of improvement. If you don't feel anything and feel like a piece of wood, then you're really worried."
"Really?" The man's cheeks twitched slightly with excitement.
Mrs. Sun and Lao Suntou on the side could not hide the joy on their faces.
"Qing'er, it seems that your method is really effective," said Sun.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Mom, you twist a hot water mask and I'll apply it to my dad again."
"good"
The hot handkerchief was quickly handed over, and Yang Ruoqing took it and covered it under Yang Huazhong's knees.
After this period of massage, she found that the previously atrophied muscles around her father's kneecaps were slowly regaining their vitality.
When she sends a batch of tofu to town tomorrow, there will be three days in between.
I just asked Tang Yazi to go into the mountains to collect herbs together.
If all goes well, the required medicinal materials can be collected in one trip, then Dad won’t need to lie in bed during the Chinese New Year this year.
Of course, these are Yang Ruoqing's plans in her heart. She will just do it step by step and will not say too much too soon.
After finishing serving Yang Huazhong, Sun and Yang Ruoqing returned to the house to rest.
Lying on the bed, Yang Ruoqing asked Sun, "Mom, did Ga Gong say that he wanted to go back to the mountain?"
Sun said, "That was my original plan. During dinner, I told him that I would go with Chang Geng and Gui Hua to catch the piglets at Gui Hua's parents' house. If you want to go to town to deliver tofu, your father-in-law said
If you postpone your return to the mountain for one more day, your father will be in trouble."
Today is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and it’s Monday again. Those who go to school are probably still enjoying the holiday at home, and those who work are probably getting busy. It’s a new year and a new beginning. We all have a great time. Thank you for everyone during this holiday.
