After Zhuqing introduced the method of peppermint oil to Wang, they discussed it together and decided to get up an hour early every morning and make peppermint oil during this hour, and then use it to make peppermint oil after finishing work in the fields in the evening.
.
After all, this peppermint oil cannot be made in a short time, and it will take almost a month to get the finished product.
During this period of time, only Wang and her could do the work in Zhuqing's family. After all, Sun Fucheng had a broken leg and could not stand up, and Zhushan was also small. During this period of time, their family had only the previous income.
What little savings the family has saved.
The one who borrowed the ten taels of silver from the Zhou family, Zhu Qing had already spent almost one tael to buy wine, and Wang would definitely not let her touch the rest easily.
The process of making peppermint oil is relatively not complicated. In modern times, Zhuqing would often make some in the summer.
Therefore, although many tools and utensils are not very handy nowadays, Zhu Qing got used to them quickly.
Wang is a good housewife, and she is very quick to make these things. She quickly found the tips and mastered the methods.
Zhuqing and she made a small jar in one morning.
Mother and daughter were so busy all morning that they were sweating profusely. Little Zhushan also got up early with them and insisted on helping Wang make a fire for breakfast. He helped light the fire in the stove. He was also sweating from the heat, and his face was still wet.
I accidentally got some ash from the bottom of the pot, like a little cat.
When Zhu Qing teased him, he took advantage of Zhu Qing's unpreparedness, stood up on tiptoes and swiped his dirty hands on Zhu Qing's face, hitting Zhu Qing's nose right in the face! So Zhu Qing's nose also had a funny patch.
dark spots.
"Stinky Zhushan, you are brave!" After Zhuqing was suddenly attacked by him, of course he had to fight back and stretched out his hand to tickle him. Zhushan was chased all over the ground by her.
Seeing the two brothers and sisters having fun in the house, Sun Fucheng, who was crushing mint leaves, couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, Shanwa's health has been much better recently. Do you see how fast he can run? In the past, he couldn't help but laugh.
I can’t even walk!”
Wang heard this and said while doing the work in her hands: "That's right! Ever since Shan'er took Dr. Mo's medicine and listened to Qingya getting up to exercise every morning, her body has really gotten better day by day.
Now! My boss, I’m at home now, waiting for you to get better soon!
When you get better, let's ask Qingya to stop working and go with Shanwa to her second uncle's place to learn to read. What my father and the others said makes sense. If Qingya can read, maybe she can go there too.
How about learning to be a medical girl? If she can become a medical girl, she will have a great future!
Now that she has received an award from the county master, if she becomes a medical girl again, she will definitely find a good family in the future, and she will no longer have to endure the hardships of our farming families!"
Listening to his wife looking forward to his daughter's future, Sun Fucheng also nodded: "Yes, Shanwa is in good health. If he studies well in the future, he can take the exam to become a scholar and a scholar, and he will be great in the future! By then our children will all be good.
If we are promising, shouldn't we just wait to enjoy the blessings?"
The couple talked about their children's future, but the more they talked, the happier they became.
The main reason why this family has fallen into poverty is that the youngest son is frail and sick. Now as long as the son gets better, the family's situation can be greatly improved!
While Zhuqing was playing games with her younger brother Zhushan, she also heard the conversation between Mr. Wang and Mr. and Mrs. Sun Fucheng. She also felt very happy about their longing for them.
As parents, we always hope that our children can become talented and have a promising future.
Wang and his wife are honest and hardworking, and Zhuqing believes that as long as she and Zhushan work hard together, their little family will definitely have a promising future.
"Zhushan, stop running! I think you're out of breath. You're okay after running for so long." She saw that Zhushan's face was red from running and he was still slightly out of breath, so she asked him to stop.
Exercise is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it can only be done slowly.
"Yeah!" Zhushan stopped obediently, washed his face and hands with Zhuqing, and then had breakfast together.
After eating pumpkin porridge and boiled eggs, Zhu Qing took the bamboo basket on her back and went out.
Recently, because of the Wu family's affairs, she has not been to Dr. Qian's house for several days. She is going to go today.
The morning sun was not too hot yet, so Zhu Qing walked towards Dr. Qian's house amidst the chirping of cicadas.
Along the way, people in the village, whether men, women, old or young, saw her and greeted her warmly.
Everyone is now particularly willing to get close to this little girl who was awarded a prize by the county! Because of her, Cuizhu Village has made a good appearance in these ten miles and eight towns!
Wherever the people in the village go, they can proudly talk to others about how they captured the ferocious scarred tiger of the Wu family! Such talk can make them proud for a long time!
Of course, there are also people who can't stand Zhu Qing showing his face like this, but they don't dare to show such emotions in public. They can only complain secretly behind their backs about why Zhu Qing was the one who reported the news!
When Zhuqing walked to the entrance of the village, he met Sun Zhujin who was squatting there cutting pig grass.
Seeing Zhu Qing, Sun Zhujin felt a little awkward on his face, but he still called her in a low voice: "Sister Qingya..."
Although she had fought with this unruly and willful little girl, now that she was polite to her, Zhu Qing would naturally not be indifferent to her.
So he nodded to her and said hello calmly: "Sister Zhujin, where are you cutting the grass?"
Sun Zhujin nodded, shook his head, stood up with a red face, and hesitated to Zhuqing: "Sister Qingya, um, can I go to Doctor Qian's house with you to work?"
Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then realized that this girl seemed to be waiting here on purpose. She seemed to want her to take her to Doctor Qian's house.
Of course she had nothing to say about this matter. If she went to Doctor Qian's house by herself, it would be a favor for the Zhou family, but if she brought a cousin there, Doctor Qian's family might not be willing to accept her.
But for this reason, she felt that she might not be able to explain to this stubborn girl, so forget it, and took her directly to Doctor Qian's house, where she was directly rejected by him, and she probably gave up.
Sun Zhujin stared at Zhuqing, afraid that she would shake her head and say "no". She mustered up a lot of courage to come here today.
Zhuqing was awarded an award by the county, and Zhuqing was praised by everyone in the village. These things made her jealous! In her heart, she felt that the reason why Zhuqing got so much good reputation was because she came to Doctor Qian's house and studied
Got a lot of useful stuff!
If she could go there, maybe with her intelligence, she could learn much more than Zhuqing! This was the exact words of her grandmother Lu who always loved her.
