"Impossible!" Xu Laosan retorted, "Your grandfather also has medicinal wine. This thing is just for cheating money, so it's useless."
Xu Yin's face was expressionless: "We won't know until tomorrow whether it works or not. Hurry up! Mom, you press it on Dad first, and I'll teach you which acupuncture points to press."
"You still need to touch acupuncture points? I don't understand!" Chen Huilan waved her hands nervously.
"It's okay, mother, just press it as I say."
Xu Yin taught and Chen Huilan pressed her, making Xu Laosan moan and groan.
"Hey, I thought it would hurt when I pressed it, but it's actually not bad. It feels numb after being pressed for a long time. It's so comfortable!"
"Pah!" Chen Huilan hit him, "Get up when you feel comfortable, and you can press it for me. While my daughter is still here, press it as she says."
"..."
Xu Laosan got up reluctantly.
But when I got up, I found that the sore places on my body had really eased a lot.
"What kind of medicinal wine is this? Is it so effective? It's much more effective than the ones your grandfather bought before."
"... I asked someone to buy it, as long as it's useful."
After Xu Yin taught her father how to press acupuncture points, she went back to her room and fed herself two Yangrong Pills.
She was not physically tired, but mentally tired. Driving a couple to the fields was more tiring than driving mules and horses.
It seems that without some sweetness, they probably won't be able to survive the double grab.
So, the next morning, before dawn, she got up and patted the couple's door:
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to go to the mountains to see if I can catch a pheasant and come back. I'll make chicken soup for you at noon. Can you go to work today?"
When he heard that there was pheasant soup to drink, and he pressed the acupuncture points before going to bed, his body was indeed not as sore as yesterday. Xu Laosan struggled to sit up: "Yes, yes, yes! You go! Your mother and I will get up right away."
With that said, he shook his wife up. The couple should share the joys and sorrows together.
Chen Huilan yawned and responded: "I can lift my arms now, and my butt bones are not as sore as yesterday. I can still hold on. Girl, can you really catch a pheasant?"
The key is the last sentence.
Xu Yin: "...I'll try my best."
In fact, this area is all small hills, and you can climb from the foot of one mountain to the foot of the other in half a day. It is not a deep forest, so how can she catch so many pheasants.
Just looking for a reason.
She was fast on her feet and could reach the top of the mountain in half an hour and climb to the other side.
Farming has been busy recently. Even if the villagers go up the mountain, they only hang around this side of the mountain and have no time to go to the other side of the mountain.
Xu Yin dug through the grass and found a nest of wild eggs. She took six of them and kept six.
Then he took out a Taoyuanxing pheasant and stuffed it into the backpack.
On the way down the mountain, I saw a honey locust tree and picked a few handfuls of honey locust beans to take home for washing.
These days, you have to pay a ticket to buy a bar of soap. You only need to pay if you encounter a defective product, but this kind of opportunity is rare.
Unless you get up early and queue up at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative like buying meat, then you might be able to make it in time.
But she is willing to queue up to eat meat, but not so much to buy soap.
Anyway, the market will be liberalized in a few years. For the time being, it’s good to just make do with saponaria beans. It’s all natural, no additives! It’s easy to use and environmentally friendly!
Before going home, I took a different route, detoured around the old house, and gave the old man a bottle of medicinal wine.
"Grandma, grandpa went to the ground?"
"Yes! While you can still work, earn more work points and save more food."
Mrs. Xu makes breakfast alone at home. After breakfast, she also has to go to the field.
I can't do anything else, but I can help out at the grain drying farm and earn some work points.
"Wait for grandpa to rub this medicinal wine on the sore areas when he comes back." Xu Yin left the medicinal wine to Grandma Xu and gave her six wild eggs.
In Mrs. Xu's surprised and surprised eyes, she whispered in her ear: "I went up the mountain to pick it up. I was lucky enough to catch a pheasant. I will bring you and grandpa a bowl of chicken soup at noon."
"Oh! You caught a pheasant? You're lucky! No need to give it away, just keep it for you to eat. We have to be busy for several days. Can your father handle it?"
Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her youngest son and worried that his skin would peel off due to fatigue.
Xu Yin smiled and said: "There is one. It can't be kept in the hot weather. It's safest to eat it in the stomach."
I didn’t waste much time after putting down my things. I still had to go home and make breakfast.
After Mrs. Xu waited for her wife to come back, she took out her granddaughter's filial piety and showed it to him with a smile on her face:
"This is medicinal wine. Yin Yatou asked you to rub the sore parts and said it was very effective. This is a pheasant egg. She went up the mountain this morning and touched the pheasant nest. Not only did she pick up the egg, but she also caught a pheasant.
, he said he would deliver chicken soup to us at noon."
Old man Xu had a smile on his face, and he was very worried in his heart, but he said: "This girl, you can just keep it for yourself and eat it. You can take it here and there without fear of being bumped into."
"That's what I said too. I told her not to give it away, but she insisted on giving it away..." Old Mrs. Xu smiled so hard that her eyes creased several times, "Old man, are you hungry? Eat quickly, and rub it with medicinal wine after eating."
"Next time, tell her not to spend this money." Old man Xu picked up the medicinal wine bottle. There was no label on it, just a small brown bottle. I guess some barefoot doctor prepared it himself. He shook his head, "I bought it before, it's nothing.
use."
"Hey, since Yin girl bought it, you can use it. When you wake up in the morning, don't you keep saying that your arm hurts and you can't lift it up?"
Old Man Xu sighed.
Yes, I bought everything, so there is no need to waste more, but this thing is really useless.
"A sneeze!"
Xu·Barefoot Doctor·Yin sneezed at home and continued to seize the time to cook.
Xu Laosan and his wife came back for breakfast after having sex for an hour.
Pickled cucumbers, kimchi, scrambled eggs with chili, and a bowl of white rice.
During the busy farming period, Xu Yin steamed dry rice for breakfast, fearing that she would not be hungry with porridge.
Xu Laosan finished two bowls of white rice with scrambled eggs and chili peppers. Thinking of the fragrant pheasant soup at noon, he put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.
If you don't eat, save some food for lunch.
"Yinyin, where did you buy the medicinal wine? It really works! I cut the rice this morning and my arms are no longer sore at all."
Chen Huilan nodded in agreement: "Me too, my waist and butt bones have improved a lot. It's not like last night when I was in so much pain that I couldn't even sit still."
Xu Yin was the last to finish the meal and got up to clean up the dishes: "I press it every night before going to bed, it will be effective. Dad, mother, are you still harvesting rice today?"
"I am cutting the rice, and your mother is going to winnow the millet in the afternoon. What are you doing, my dear?"
"I plow the fields."
The Seven-Star Brigade currently does not have tractors, but only a few old buffaloes. During the double raid, there are not enough cattle, so people have to form several teams to pull the plows.
Xu Yin took the initiative to ask for this job.
The production team leader was both pleased and worried.
Fortunately, if everyone is as proactive as her, they won't have to worry about completing the task;
What worries her is that she is a lesbian after all, and plowing is a demanding job. Can she handle it?
Xu Laosan and his wife also said the same:
"Why don't you let the captain change? How can I let you go to a girl's house? You go to the grain drying farm and help your mother."
"Yes, Yin Yin, plowing the ground doesn't just have to be done quickly, it also requires great strength."
"Am I not strong enough?"
"..."
One sentence choked both of them.
Come on, come on, such great strength is rare among young people, not to mention girls.
The couple stopped chattering and rested for a while after eating, then continued down to the ground carrying the water bottle and wearing straw hats.
"Yin Yin, don't forget the chicken soup!"
Before going out, Xu Laosan turned his head and shouted.
Xu Yin: "..."
I almost forgot about it.
I washed the bowls, cleaned the stove, prepared the pheasants, boiled them over high heat, put down a handful of soaked mushrooms and a few dried jujubes, and then removed the firewood, leaving only the charcoal stars to simmer.
To ensure that it would not go out or boil the water in the pot dry, Xu Yin put on her straw hat, picked up the kettle and went out as soon as possible.
When the production team leader came to inspect the progress, Xu Yin had just plowed an acre and came up to take a drink of water.
"How's it going? Are you tired?"
"It's not bad." Xu Yin shook her arm and said, "Captain, why don't our brigade buy a tractor like other brigade? This way, we can save time and effort when the farming is busy, and we can go to the city to earn extra money during the off-season.
"
"Do you think you can buy a tractor if you want? There are only a few quotas every year. After the commune applied to our brigade, there has been no news. But even if you are qualified to buy, the party secretary said that you are not sure whether you want to buy it, and no one has done it.
It's going to be open! Who's going to drive back?" The captain took the time to take out a cigarette and smoked one.
Xu Yin's eyes lit up: "I can!"
She is so good at this! She was once a little expert who broke through S level many times!
