Liang Xiaonan slowly ate sesame cakes while listening to the conversation between mother and son.
Is it so interesting to treat diseases now? The prescription also prescribes 3 pounds of soybeans?
Is soybean also a traditional Chinese medicine? What diseases can it treat?
"Mom, I'm leaving. Don't listen to grandma. If she says hers, just treat it like a strong wind. No matter what, my aunt still found a job for me this time."
"Xiao Gang, Mom can't help it...Be careful when you go there. They say it's dangerous and tiring..."
"Don't be afraid, Mom, I'm going with my cousin."
The woman started crying again, and neither of them drank a bowl of spicy soup.
The shopkeeper glanced at them several times, and when he heard this, he interrupted: "You asked your son to dig coal?"
The woman lowered her head and said, "There is nothing we can do. His father is dying and he has no money to buy medicine."
The shop owner said: "They are government coal miners. They should have labor insurance. If they do well, they can become regular workers and the money will be good. It's just that your son doesn't look very old. Isn't he old enough?"
The boy immediately said: "I am already 18 years old."
The shopkeeper looked at him up and down, shook his head and said, "I think you are only 13 years old, you look very young."
The woman remained silent and just cried.
The boy stiffened his neck and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm already 18."
"Ha," the shopkeeper smiled, and said to the woman kindly with a sympathetic look, "Why don't you buy some sesame seed cakes for the child? It's hundreds of miles from here to Huyang, and it's impossible not to bring some dry food on the way."
The woman looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Didn't you say that you are in charge of the food?"
"No matter how much you take care of the food, you still have to go to the mine. No matter whether others take care of the food or not, it's always good for you to prepare something for your children."
He wasn't trying to sell his sesame seed cakes. The Xiaogang in front of him was definitely under 18 years old. He was on a long trip, and he was obviously extremely nervous. His mother didn't even give him some spare dry food for the journey? How uncomfortable was the child's heart?
The woman rubbed her hands together in embarrassment, she really had no money.
Liang Xiaonan didn't know that there were coal mines in Huyang City. Coal miners worked much harder than other workers. They worked underground every day without seeing the light of day. Their wages must be higher than those of ordinary workers!
Workers at the cotton mill in the county earn 38 yuan a month. Wang Cuiying said everywhere that Zhang Xinyi earns more than 70 yuan a month, so coal miners' wages are more than 50 yuan no matter what.
She originally wanted to eat quickly and tidy up the small garden, but suddenly she discovered a new world, soybeans, so important? Can they be used as medicine?
"Sister-in-law, you said the doctor prescribed 3 pounds of soybeans. What disease does your eldest brother have?" Liang Xiaonan asked curiously.
The woman said: "I just feel weak, unable to stand, and have no energy."
Muscle weakness? Can eating soybeans cure muscle weakness?
Before she could figure out what her illness was, she saw a man in his twenties and a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties walking in. The woman had short, ear-length hair, pinned with a black clip with a buckle.
Seeing them come in, the original mother and son stood up immediately, and Xiao Gang timidly called out: "Auntie, cousin."
The middle-aged woman said "hmm", looked at Xiaogang's mother and said: "Xiaoqin, Xiaogang has followed Daming to work in the mines. Have you told me everything? Don't be tricky, don't be lazy, don't steal, don't do anything."
Ming Dynasty is in disgrace."
Xiaoqin bent over, her face full of respect: "Sister, don't worry, Xiaogang is very obedient, but Daming has to work hard to support him more, if he is disobedient..."
She seemed to be cruel and said: "If he makes a mistake, you will beat him severely. Give him more guidance and stay in the mine so that he can become a regular employee."
Daming said impatiently: "Auntie, you have such a wonderful idea. You don't know if you can keep me, so you just want to become a full-time employee? In the past few years, you haven't hired people at all. They have backdoors. Can Xiaogang work for a full year?"
Don’t know yet.”
"You should encourage him more." Xiaoqin really couldn't say anything. With a pleading look on her face, she said with a smile, "Xiaogang is very obedient, he is very well-behaved."
"What's the use of being good?" Daming said angrily, "Our co-worker spent hundreds of dollars just to get a quota for his cousin."
The middle-aged woman also said angrily: "If it weren't for seeing my brother struggling to survive, I wouldn't want to ask Daming to go through this muddy water. Don't think about earning a thousand or eight hundred yuan. If you haven't become a regular worker, you are not a formal worker."
It’s 30 yuan, but you may not be able to get it. With just this little strength, Xiaogang probably won’t be able to dig much, so it would be good if he could get 10 yuan.”
Xiaoqin and Xiaogang were obviously surprised. It only costs 10 yuan to dig coal for a month! But it is better than farming at home. They are very happy to get 10 yuan a month. He has never touched 10 yuan!
Yi pointed angrily, and the middle-aged woman said to Daming: "Okay, you can take it away, it's annoying to see you! You go out without even a penny. How have you and my brother been living these past ten years?"
Seeing his mother being scolded, Xiaogang wanted to say something, but he finally held back, lowered his head, and followed Daming out obediently.
Xiaoqin chased her out, crying and saying: "Xiaogang, you have to listen to my cousin..." She gave 3 cents to the shopkeeper, and the middle-aged woman followed her.
The shopkeeper sighed and shook his head.
Looking at Liang Xiaonan, she felt a little reproachful and said, "You girl, you ask people about everything. What diseases can soybeans cure? You don't know?"
"I do not know."
"Is there anyone in your village who is weak and can't keep up the energy? Hasn't the doctor prescribed soybeans?"
"I don't know, uncle, just tell me what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Starvation disease! Severe malnutrition. Nowadays, doctors just prescribe soybeans to those who are malnourished."
Ah, malnutrition!
But no, hunger disease is also a disease and can kill people!
She had not thought about what to plant in her small garden, but now that she had thought about it, she would plant soybeans.
Zhou Yan bought her a wall-breaking machine, but squeezing soy milk and drinking it was really not her goal. Liu Qingshan said that soybeans are the best supplement of this era, not even comparable to rice and white flour.
Soybeans were prescribed for medicine, and soybeans were used as fertilizer when cooked. Soybeans that were commonplace in her previous life were so valuable.
Return to the yard, lock the outer door, and return to your own small garden.
After breaking up the big clods of soil, she immediately began to move out half a bucket of soybean seeds and a small half bucket of spiritual spring liquid from the space. She diluted it with water, soaked the soybeans, took a lid to cover the wooden bucket, and then took out
I moved a few bricks to lay them down.
There's no way the scent is too strong, so even if you put a wooden lid on it, the scent can't be concealed.
He also poured out a basin of soybeans and soaked them in ordinary water.
The previous crop of soybeans was planted, and the soybeans in the basin have almost swollen and will germinate faster after planting.
Sure enough, the soybeans soaked in Lingquan liquid swelled up in about an hour, and the germ part began to burst the bean skin.
She immediately threw the soybeans into the small pit that she had dug for an hour. As for the spacing, she really didn't know, so she first planted them one plant at a distance of 10 centimeters to try.
Feeling strong in her heart, she planted more than an acre of soybeans in one breath, throwing the beans in her hand and burying them in the soil at her feet.
After the beans are planted, fill half a bucket of water with a sprayer, drop some spirit spring liquid into it, inflate it enough, and spray the entire land.
It may be that the aroma of the spiritual liquid has not been absorbed by the soybeans for the time being. The air is filled with the rich sweet scent of the spiritual spring, and flocks of birds are flying in chirping, and they are brave enough to dig the soil directly.
Liang Xiaonan had no choice but to hold a bamboo pole nearby and kept driving him away.
I heard someone talking outside: "What's going on? It's autumn, where are there so many birds?"
