Chapter 131 Harvesting Cotton

Yingbao was right.

Since I have attracted so much attention from the world, people will definitely come to see me for medical treatment in the future. If they all use the excuse of not having money, then why don’t I do it myself?

There was no way to save anyone and he was still in trouble.

"Well, you go home now. My family will be harvesting cotton tomorrow, so you can come and help with the work."

The Jiang family’s cotton is basically mature and is currently being harvested.

Because they planted more this time, my parents were busy picking cotton every day, and even the meals were cooked by Yanru, the second uncle.

"Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow." Zhao Daqian thanked him deeply and hugged his son and went home.

At this time, the onlookers cheered and gathered around, wanting to buy gourds.

"I'll just buy a small one and get lucky."

"The big one, give me the big one, five sticks is five!"

"I took my fancy first, why are you grabbing it?"

A total of ten gourds were brought, and they were all quickly bought.

Jiang Quan smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, and asked Ying Bao to count the money together.

There is no way. Many people pay their bills with copper coins. If they are missing dozens of coins, it will be a huge loss.

After selling the gourds, the township official came to collect the market tax.

He looked Ying Bao up and down, smiled and asked, "Did you really grow the gourd today?"

What could Yingbao do? He could only pinch his nose and admit it: "I planted it."

Xiangzhi asked again: "Are you coming to the next episode?"

Jiang Quan nodded quickly: "Come here, I still have some at home."

Xiangzhi: "When you come, leave a gourd for me. Don't worry, every penny will be yours."

Yingbao:……

Jiang Quan smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Okay, don't worry, I will leave the best one for you."

After returning from the market, several children began to share the money.

Today, Li Dao and Li He only brought five gourds. Counting two gourds per gourd, that's ten gourds.

It was agreed that 30% of the money would be given to Jiang Quan, so Li Dao and Li He finally received seven ounces of money.

They made seven guan from five gourds, which was several guan more than what they earned from selling them. Li Dao and Li He simply laughed.

"I'll bring all our gourds next episode," Li Dao said excitedly.

His family also planted more than a dozen gourds, which yielded thirty or forty gourds of varying sizes. What they brought this time were just average ones.

Jiang Quan earned three more points for nothing, and he was not unhappy, "Okay, let's go back to the next episode."

Li Dao and Li He happily went home with the copper coins, and Jiang Quan began to divide the accounts with Ying Bao.

The two large gourds and three small gourds at home were sold for a total of sixteen guan. Adding the three guan earned from Li Dao, the total was 19 guan.

So Jiang Quan gave his little cousin nine and a half guan, and he also took nine and a half.

Ying Bao was not polite and took the nine-string half coin.

At noon, Jiang Sanlang and his wife, Jiang Erlang, Jiang Cheng, Dani and Erni Chuchu came back from the cotton field for dinner.

Yingbao picked two bunches of grapes, a dozen pears, and a basket of peaches, washed them and put them on the dinner table for everyone to try.

The family ate fruit and sat around the table.

Today Yanru made stewed fish, fried tofu, steamed glutinous rice and lotus root, vegetable soup, and boiled a few salted eggs.

In addition, rice was cooked, and the rice cakes were scooped out and left as snacks for the children.

"Tomorrow I'll ask a few people to help our family collect cotton, and I'll have to ask my second sister-in-law to help us cook." Jiang Sanlang said as he picked up the rice.

Yan Ru smiled and nodded: "What's the trouble? I have nothing to do at home, so I should cook."

Chun Niang: "There will be a lot of people eating tomorrow. Second sister-in-law, you will definitely not be able to handle the workload alone, so let Danni, Erni and Chuchu help you. There is no need for them in the cotton field anyway."

When picking cotton, you will inevitably be poked by cotton feathers. The girl's arms are so delicate that even if she wears long sleeves, she will inevitably get poked. It hurts to look at it.

"That's okay." Yan Ru knew that Chun Niang cared about the girls, so she agreed.

The next day, Zhao Da came indeed, bringing his wife and son with him.

The little boy had regained consciousness, but was in low spirits and was being carried by his mother behind him.

Yingbao looked at the boy's legs and saw that most of the bruises had faded, so she gave him another potion to drink.

He told the boy's mother: "Give him some more water to drink and let him flush out the toxins in his body so that he can recover quickly."

The woman responded quietly and went to the water tank to scoop water for the boy to drink.

"We have boiled cold water on the table. You can pour it for him to drink." Yingbao said, "Drinking the boiled water will cause diarrhea."

"Oh." Mrs. Zhao responded and went to pour cold water.

Jiang Sanlang already knew about Zhao Da's situation, but without saying anything, he took him and several villagers to the cotton fields to collect cotton.

"Yingbao! Yingbao! Mrs. Wen is back!" Erni jumped in and ran in from outside.

Yingbao was surprised: "You're really back? Is Sister Wen back?"

"You're back too, hurry up and take a look." Erni was so excited.

Suddenly he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten most of the words he had learned, and he couldn't help but feel guilty, "Ying Bao... you go first, I will be there soon."

Ying Bao quickly ran to the yard, put a leather saddle on Youyou, stepped on the mounting stone and mounted the deer's back.

Yoyo spread her hooves and ran towards the village.

Not long after I arrived at the school, I saw several carriages parked in the school yard, and servants were moving things down.

"Sister Wen!" Yingbao got off the deer and ran towards Wen Shu.

Wen Shu was also very happy to see Ying Bao. He came over to hug her and smiled: "Ying Bao has grown taller."

Ying Bao stood on tiptoe and compared with Wen Shu, and said with a smile: "You have grown taller too."

Wen Shu took her to a side pavilion and sat down, telling her about his own affairs.

"Originally, my mother and I went to Fucheng, but something happened at home, so we had to rush from Fucheng to Yuzhou."

Yuzhou is thousands of miles away from here. Not to mention that the journey is long and difficult, and there are robbers on some mountain roads.

Fortunately, they hired a team of dozens of escorts and arrived in Yuzhou safely.

Yingbao didn't know how to answer the question for a moment and asked, "Why don't you see Mrs. Wen and Wen Hengyin?"

Wen Shu: "My mother and my third aunt are cleaning up the house. My younger brother can't come this time. Grandpa asked him to stay in Yuzhou to study. I'm afraid I won't have time to come here in the future."

"Then has your family's matter been resolved?" Yingbao was still worried about the Wen family's house raids. In her previous life, this was probably the time when something happened to the Wen family.

Wen Shu nodded, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened. My uncle was laid off from his job and returned to his hometown. He is now recuperating in his hometown in Yuzhou. My mother and I still came back here, but my third aunt also came with us."

Wen Shu had nothing to say. These three aunts had good intentions in order to compete with her mother for this trip to Qinchuan.

The Jiang family's golden fungus and snow fungus are very effective. Something almost happened at home this time. Thanks to the golden fungus brought back by the parents, the urgent need was solved. Therefore, the third aunt strongly requested to come here. The purpose is obvious.

But how can I tell Yingbao these things myself?

"Third Aunt also brought her two little daughters here. They will also go to school with us in the future." Wen Shu said softly: "They are eight years old this year, they should be more than three years older than you. One is named Wen Tian, ​​and the other is

Their name is Wen Jiao, and they are twins."

Yingbao: "Wen Tian? Wen Jiao?"

Why do you think this name is a bit weird?
