"What are you doing? Going to the hospital? Going to Tonghua Hospital? Third brother, you have money to burn, right?"
Xu Shixian was the first to speak again. He looked at his younger brother with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Who has ever heard of a woman having to go to the hospital for a checkup when she's pregnant?" People in these days don't pay attention to this aspect at all.
"What woman doesn't give birth to children? Our mother gave birth to six of us, your elder sister-in-law gave birth to three, and your second sister-in-law gave birth to two, but none of them went to any hospital.
Third child, do you want to go to the sky? Why don’t you go to Tonghua Hospital? Do you know how much it costs to go to the hospital?"
Xu Shixian felt that he was the eldest brother and it was necessary to talk to his younger brother.
Xu Shiyan rolled his eyes and snorted, "I'm happy to spend any money, and it's not your money. Why are you anxious?"
One sentence choked Xu Shixian so much that he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
"Third brother, why are you talking? Isn't your elder brother doing it for your own good?"
Xue Xiulin was naturally unhappy when her husband was criticized. Her nose was not a nose and her face was not a face, so she said loudly.
"No, how old am I? I'm getting married and have a daughter-in-law, and I'm going to be a father soon. I understand what's good and what's bad."
Xu Shiyan was not used to it. He didn't even pay attention to those people and just rewrapped the ginseng and put it in his backpack.
"Daughter-in-law, let's go home first. I'll pack up. We're going to Tonghua today and we just happened to sell two ginseng trees."
Xu Shiyan was not in the mood to argue with these people. His wife and children were the most important.
Su Anying was still a little confused, but she was used to listening to her husband. She would do whatever Xu Shiyan asked her to do.
Anyway, she doesn't have much here. She has two pieces of clothes hanging outside after washing. She can just take them off when she goes out.
So, the couple pulled and pulled, put their things on their backs, and left Xu's house in front of everyone's stunned eyes.
After Xu Shiyan and his wife left, everyone in the room realized what they were doing.
"Mom, look at the virtue of the third child, who else does he see now?" Xue Xiulin looked unhappy and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Isn't it just two sticks and a black blind man who are brave? What can he do to be awesome? Good guy, I haven't got the money yet, it seems that this home can't accommodate him."
Xue Xiulin's words are almost as bitter as jealousy. Two thousand yuan, who is not greedy and jealous?
Zhou Guilan sat on the kang, looked around at everyone in the room, and sighed.
"Come on, since the third child has separated and gone to live another life, I can't control him. He can do whatever he likes."
The child has no control over his mother, and it is annoying to take care of so many things.
"If you are jealous of the life of the third child's family, then I will discuss it with your father. When the fourth child gets married this winter, you will also go out and live alone."
Zhou Guilan is not an ordinary old lady. Her son and daughter-in-law can clearly see the thoughtfulness of her son and daughter-in-law.
Forget it, the tree has big branches and the children are all grown up, so they can't stay by their side forever. Let's separate the family when it's time to separate, so as not to make endless noises every day.
As soon as Zhou Guilan said these words, Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong's sisters became happy, with smiles on their brows and eyes.
"Mom, look at what you said, we didn't say we wanted to separate our family.
This is fine for our family, but we are not Yingzi and we don’t like to live with the elderly."
No matter how happy you are in your heart, you can't show it. You have to express your feelings by saying something pleasant and stepping on others along the way.
Zhou Guilan snorted and said nothing. She just packed up the things Xu Shiyan left and locked them in the cabinet.
"Mom, what are you doing with that Heixiazizi oil? Save it for stewing beans for lunch. There's no oil or water in it for a long time."
Seeing his mother-in-law locking the cabinet, Wei Mingrong became anxious. He just locked the other things. How about taking out the oil to stew?
"You're the only one who knows how to eat it, right? I can't? Heixiazi's fried pancakes are thrown out in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there's no hard part in the pancakes."
Zhou Guilan glared at her second daughter-in-law, she is a foodie.
"You guys go up to the mountains in winter to collect firewood, pull logs, and make cakes to bring them food. You also stew beans? That's a pretty idea."
The older generations are all like this. If you want to eat something delicious, you must first stick to the man.
When the two daughters-in-law heard this, they both curled their lips. Her mother-in-law was so stingy.
Separate the family quickly. Once the family is separated, they can live on their own and eat whatever they like.
Not to mention the thoughts of everyone in the Xu family, just that Xu Shiyan led his wife all the way back to the Li family.
After entering the door, he didn't care about anything. He took out the things in his backpack first and said, "Daughter-in-law, help me keep an eye on it while I hide the things."
Of the five ginseng trees, Xu Shiyan only plans to sell two small ones and not sell the others for the time being.
Nowadays, the price of this wild ginseng is still too low. It is not cost-effective to sell it. Besides, I am afraid that the money will be too much and people will be concerned about it, so it is better to keep it.
Wild ginseng resources will gradually decrease, such precious things will become increasingly difficult to find in the future, and the price will become higher and higher.
Moreover, this thing can save lives in critical moments, and it is a good thing that even money cannot buy.
Xu Shiyan will cook the medicinal materials, and when he comes back from Tonghua, he will prepare the three ginseng trees and store them, so that they can be preserved for thirty to fifty years.
But Xu Shiyan was a little worried about where to hide it. It was just a room like this, and it wasn't his own. He had to think about it carefully.
This room is a south Kang, with a kangqin placed on the top of the kang. A shelf is set up on the ground next to the kangqin, and a pair of boxes made of mellow willows are placed on it.
There is a chest of drawers against the wall on the north side. This is the only thing in the whole house. Where can I safely put the three sticks?
Suddenly, Xu Shiyan saw the pile of things under the shelf.
It was when the family was separated that a sack of potatoes brought from the Xu family was piled directly in the corner.
Okay, there is a way.
Xu Shiyan asked Su Anying to see that no outsiders were coming, while he started to pull the potatoes aside, then placed the three ginseng buns in the corner, and then piled the potatoes on top again.
"It's done, I don't believe it. Can anyone guess that the thing is in the potato pile?" Xu Shiyan patted the dirt on his hands and said with a smile.
"What did you hide just now?" Su Anying looked curious.
"I went into the mountain and dug five ginseng trees. Don't let others know. Wife, please remember, no matter who it is, no one can tell." Xu Shiyan whispered.
"Oh, I got it." Su Anying's eyes widened, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, and nodded repeatedly.
Xu Shiyan couldn't help but laugh, "Quickly, help me find some clean clothes. I'll wash them and change them. I still have to find Uncle Zhao to get a letter of introduction."
It’s not easy to go out these days. I don’t have a certificate or a letter of introduction from the village, and I don’t even have a place to live.
When Su Anying heard this, she quickly went to get a basin of water for Xu Shiyan, asked him to wash his hair and wipe his body, and then took out a set of clean clothes from the cabinet.
Xu Shiyan changed his clothes and immediately went out to Zhao's house. When he found Zhao Dahai, he said he would take his wife to the hospital for a check-up.
Zhao Dahai happily issued a certificate and a letter of introduction, and also gave Xu Shiyan a few kilograms of food stamps.
