The willow branches Lu Lu brought were leafy branches of the weeping willow.
This thing can indeed be used as medicine, and this is something Lu Lu gained from experience in his previous life.
In his previous life, he ran a mountain goods business and traveled between north and south. This was probably due to the huge difference between hot and cold weather. When he was in Shanghai, it was very hot. In just one night, his whole body was covered with prickly heat. He felt so hot and itchy that he went to the hospital for treatment.
The dripping sensation has no effect, it just stops temporarily and comes over and over again.
Later, I saw a local doctor selling Miao medicine on the roadside. On a whim, I casually asked if there was any good medicine for treating prickly heat. After talking for a while, I came up with a method of boiling water and washing with weeping willow branches.
Lu Lu himself did not expect that such an extremely ordinary thing would have such a good effect.
He went back to find some willow branches, boiled them in water and washed them, and the results were really impressive.
Initially, he was worried about whether it would have any side effects, but later he found out that it could not only be washed externally, but could also be taken internally, and he was completely relieved.
Lu Lu brought a bundle of willow branches to the kitchen, washed them, and put them in a pot for cooking.
While waiting, I turned over the crane eggs that were hatching in the bucket. Unexpectedly, I untied the cotton cloth covering the bucket and found that one of the eggs had broken open, the little crane had come out, and the other egg had broken open.
A crack has already opened, and it is shaking from time to time, and it is about to emerge from its shell.
This was a surprise. Neither of the eggs was damaged. Lu Lu was finally relieved.
It seems that no matter what kind of herbs, as long as they are boiled in water, they will have a unique smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
As it continued to simmer, the color of the soup in the pot turned dark brown, and the kitchen was filled with a strong smell.
Feeling that it was almost done, Lu Lu scooped out the soup and put it in a basin to dry. When it became warm, he brought it into the bedroom and put the child into the basin. He held the child's head in one hand and used a soft towel with the other.
Wipe him down.
After washing, he changed the child into small clothes. He held the child's little head in the palm of his left hand, and his little body lay on his left arm, riding on it, walking back and forth in the house.
Seeing the way Lu Lu held the baby, Ma Jinlan and Aunt Duan were shocked.
This is too casual.
But none of them expected that after Lu Lu cleaned the child, the little guy stopped crying or fussing. He was held by Lu Lu with one hand and slept soundly, so they didn't say anything more.
The key is that he can't let go at all. As soon as he leaves Lu Lu's hand, he wakes up and starts making trouble.
There was no other way, Lu Lu could only hold the baby in one hand, put a little hat on him, and went for a walk outside.
Yuan Bao and several dogs also followed Lu Lu and wandered around in the meadow, coming over to sniff whenever they had the chance.
Lu Lu simply handed the child to them. The dogs sniffed and hummed. Yuan Bao also raised his paw and patted the child twice on the back.
It looks so full of human feeling.
In addition to the dogs, there are also the three lynxes, who hang out with Yuanbao and the others, follow Lu Lu everywhere, and have lived together since childhood. Instead of being hostile to the dogs, they are very close to them.
This is a bit abnormal. On weekdays, the three lynxes usually follow Chen Xiuyu, but now Lu Lu follows them wherever they go in the meadow, clearly protecting the child.
Until the child was hungry, Lu Lu hurriedly sent him to Chen Xiuyu to feed him.
Only then did he find time to lift the two newly hatched cranes and the two cranes placed in the cellar to the river and feed them with the fish fished out of the cage.
This time, the three lynxes also approached and sniffed the four cranes, but they did not show a strong desire to hunt like they did when they first saw them last night.
After placing the cage on the grass by the river, Lu Lu called Zhui Feng and rode to Songling's house in Xiushan Village to see the making of the gauze frames, and then to the farm fields to see the two thousand acres of corn.
The day passed quietly.
Because Lu Lu was at home, Ma Jinlan and Aunt Duan both went home tonight. When Lu Lu returned home, she heard Chen Xiuyu say that Meng Zhaohua had come to Caodianzi and said that the car matter had been settled.
The next day, Lu Lu also bathed the child with soup made from willow branches. The prickly heat and eczema had almost disappeared. After taking care of the child all morning, after lunch, he rushed to carry two bags of green onions.
The corn goes to the Xiushan Tun Mill and is ground into flour before being sent to the Dayan Breeding Farm.
Looking at the geese searching for food everywhere in the water meadow, Lu Lu asked Zhou Cuifen and Zhou Fangjing, who were each dragging a long stick to guard the geese: "How was the situation last night?"
Zhou Cuifen and Zhou Fangjing both laughed bitterly.
"Catching here and there, a bunch of people spent a lot of time driving these little geese into the breeding farm. They didn't obey orders at all. They were so good at running away!"
"As long as we can get in, we'll start feeding cornmeal noodles from tonight... Everything is difficult at the beginning, just wait until they get used to it!"
Things were going well. Lu Lu saw that he had nothing to do for the time being, so he simply went back home and stewed the remaining wild goose. The couple had a delicious meal, played with the children for a while, and went to bed early.
rest.
The child was taken care of by Lu Lu, and the uncomfortable eczema and prickly heat were cured. The child became very well-behaved again, entered into the rhythm of eating when he was full, sleeping when he woke up, and eating when he woke up. He saw people and things with his big eyes, and gradually became more flexible and liked it all the time.
Staring at Lu Lu, and when Lu Lu held her, it was especially easy to fall asleep and she felt very at ease.
Chen Xiuyu explained some precautions when raising a baby, and the couple fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, Lu Lu got up very early and was busy making breakfast at home. Meng Zhaohua led his brother-in-law and two other drivers to drive to Caodianzi. After breakfast, the five of them went to Zuo Songling's house together.
Load the frames that I had worked on over the past two days into the car, and then drive all the way to Bird's Nest Island.
When the fishing team arrived at Yan's Nest Island late that night, Lu Lu took a look at the seine net, which was densely packed with geese.
Preliminary estimates put the number at several thousand.
During the four or five days they left, Zhang Shaofeng and others gained a lot.
After a night's rest, we caught another day's geese the next day. In the evening, we called Zhang Yongbiao to catch two groups of geese. The number was almost the same. On the morning of the third day, three cars were loaded with small geese, and Lu Lu called another car.
Pack Raymond's luggage.
We spent a lot of time at the farm, but Raymond didn't really have many things, so it didn't take long to load them up, leaving most of the carriage empty.
It just so happened that the captured geese couldn't be loaded in the other three cars, so they could be put on this car.
Taking advantage of the time of loading the truck, Lu Lu called Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo, and the three of them walked along the Naoli River for a while. After a while, they came back with more than 20 wild geese, ready to take them back to the families on the farm.
Try something new.
After the car was loaded, Lu Lu paid off the wages he was due, called his people to get on the car, and returned to Xiushantun.
Looking at this now familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar land, Lu Lu knew that he would not be able to come again for a long time.
To Lu Lu, in this place, there were probably only the wild animals and sticks in Wanda Mountain that stood against his back.
Raymond, who was in the cab with Lu Lu, was also silently looking at the land he had worked hard for for many years without saying a word.
But Lu Lu could see the attachment in his expression.
After all this trouble, the damage to Raymond was really big, but it still couldn't erase his feelings for this land.
"Brother Meng, don't think too much. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can come back often." Lu Lu comforted him while driving the car.
"There are always many unforgettable people and things." Raymond smiled reluctantly.
"Indeed, but I think having a new beginning is not a bad thing. It might be more interesting!"
Raymond took a deep breath and said nothing more.
The car drove for more than an hour when a jeep behind it suddenly honked its horn wildly and sped towards it. After overtaking it, it swerved in the middle of the road.
Lu Lu had to stop the car and looked at the jeep through the windshield.
The door of the jeep opened, and two people got out, one of whom was the head of the field.
Before, his hair was meticulously combed and he looked very elegant, but now his face is swollen, his hair is messy, and he has completely lost his previous charm. He must have been having a hard time during these times.
"They should be looking for you!" Lu Lu glanced at Raymond.
Sure enough, after the two people got out of the car, they walked directly towards the car: "Raymon, come down and talk!"
Raymond hesitated for a moment, then opened the passenger door and jumped out: "What's going on?"
"After the main farm has studied and decided to reinstate your position as the director of the branch farm... Tell me, when the farm is short of manpower, how can you just walk away? You are the most capable person in the farm, and there is such a big branch farm.
, if you leave, you won’t be able to find a suitable person to arrange your work!”
The director of the general field said and handed a piece of paper to Raymond.
Raymond glanced at the document, but did not accept it. He shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Wouldn't the farm still operate as usual without anyone else? I don't think I am that important. Of course, I ask myself and I have not sorry for anyone."
"Leymon, in addition to issuing you the appointment documents, I am here mainly to apologize to you. Before, it was my incompetent leadership and poor employment of people. It was my dereliction of duty that caused you to suffer a lot of grievances.
It has caused you a lot of harm..."
Raymond raised his head and looked at him: "It's okay. After I leave, I just need to airborne one more time. The director of this field, who goes up and who goes down, it's all a matter of your leader's words! What a simple thing? Reply
Well, we still have to hurry!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around, opened the door, got back into the cab, and slammed the door: "Move the car out of the way!"
"Raymon, you are a veteran!" the director of the general field shouted from outside,
Hearing this, Raymond frowned slightly: "You still have the nerve to talk about veteran... You deserve it, so get out!"
Just these two words completely ignited the anger that Raymond had been holding in his heart. It was precisely because he was a retired veteran that Raymond had persevered over the years. It was also his most precious thing. Now it sounded like
It's more of a feeling of being insulted.
The dead Wang Xingliang was certainly disgusting, but there were others who were even more disgusting. Raymond really couldn't stand their looks.
When Zhang Shaofeng and others were stopped, they all got out of the car. When deciding whether to stay or go, they still had to respect Raymond's wishes, so they just listened on the sidelines.
Now that he saw that the visitors had made Raymond angry, Zhang Shaofeng was not polite to them: "Are you afraid that you won't be able to keep your position? Don't you think it's too late to do such a pretentious thing? What the hell?
You look so condescending... Good dogs don't block the way, get out of my way, and miss our business, I don't mind giving you some more eye drops to pay back the old soldier... what the hell!"
After being scolded by Zhang Shaofeng, the two of them did not dare to say anything more. The field leader quickly asked the people following him to drive the jeep to the side of the road.
In the car, Lu Lu turned his head and looked at Raymond: "Brother Meng, have you thought about it? If you decide to go back, I won't stop you. Once you leave, I'm afraid you will never go back."
Lei Meng turned his head to look at Lu Lu and said with a smile, "How about I drive it instead?"
When Lu Lu heard this, he smiled slightly and started the car.
Four cars passed by one after another, raising large amounts of dust on the road.
Only the two people standing next to the jeep were left, watching the car leave in the smoke and dust.
