031 She took what her son gave her
Five days later.
Old Master Huang can now speak simple words, and his nose and mouth are much better.
"Sir Huang, Madam Huang, you don't need acupuncture anymore. Doctor Sun can come once a day. His life has been saved this time.
This is the recipe I prepared for your father. Some things to note are also noted. For now, he has to follow it strictly and not be careless. "
Sun Sicheng thought about it and said, "The old man is not young anymore, and he has such a serious disease. It is better for some people to get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid excessive joy and tragedy."
Lord Huang's face turned red. The eldest master was talking about his father's concubine.
His mother passed away early, and he had no control over these matters before his father fell ill. But it was normal for a man to have several concubines, and the family could afford to support them.
Now his life has almost been ruined by those women, and his future has become a mirage. It is really time to get rid of them as soon as possible.
"Thank you for your reminder, Master. I will definitely do as you say."
After saying that, he nodded to the butler.
The housekeeper hurriedly handed over a purse with both hands, and Sun Sicheng took it after a brief hesitation.
Although the Huang family paid a lot, he also delayed the trip for five or six days, so he should get some benefits. Otherwise, what was the point of all the busyness?
Ping'an of course got another purse, and Jixiang and the other two each got a red envelope.
Erqiang's heart was pounding. In the past few days, he had entered the formal training with Jixiang and the others, and he also knew his future responsibilities.
Now, he trains before dawn and follows his cousin during the day. He also takes time to learn how to drive a cart and read from Jixiang.
I have been busy, tired but happy. Today I received another red envelope. Inside was a small silver ingot, estimated to be two taels. I am really rich.
This makes more money than my uncle’s shop.
This time when my uncle and his family went back, they took his seventeen taels of silver back with them. I heard that the whole family was stunned, and then they just kept laughing. My grandfather said that seven taels should be kept for the house, and the remaining ten taels should be kept by my mother, as the eldest wife's private money.
He has brought honor to his family.
Ping'an glanced at his little cousin and saw the corners of his mouth curled up. He felt amused. This kid also loved money and was happy to see silver.
Sun Sicheng declined Mr. Huang's invitation to stay for dinner. It was still early, so he had to go to Baicaotang to make some arrangements and set off early the next morning.
It's the seventh day of May. I have five or six days on the road and will stay in the city for half a month. During this time I have to hold a master-apprentice banquet. I can't accept a disciple quietly. I will leave for Jiangnan in early June at the latest.
Jiangnan's matter is somewhat troublesome, and he has not yet figured out how to solve it. After this incident, Jiangnan has to pay more attention to it, otherwise the industry over there will be squeezed into a corner by others sooner or later.
What it comes down to is that one's own backing is not strong enough.
Wan Changsheng knew that today was the last time he would treat old man Huang, so he went to the street early in the morning to buy a variety of things, some of which he would use at the farm.
Many farms are remote, but I heard that the eldest son’s farm is not far from the city, so it should be convenient to buy anything.
Besides, when the children are not at home, you can grow your own vegetables and there won’t be much to buy.
Mei Niang also bought a lot of cheap fabrics in stock at low prices. These were good for making clothes and quilt covers, but the color was a little off and the price was reduced by half.
"aunt."
Erqiang knocked on the door. The eldest master asked him and Ping'an to go home first, and asked Jixiang to buy them two roast chickens. This day seemed so beautiful as a dream.
Wan Changsheng opened the door and said, "Are you two coming back? Where are the eldest master and his family?"
"Uncle, the eldest son asked Ping An and me to come back first. They are dealing with some things in the medical hall. He asked us to eat lunch by ourselves. He will come over to eat with us in the evening. Look, the eldest son asked Brother Jixiang to buy two roast chickens for us. Are they big enough?"
Wan Changsheng took the chicken with a smile: "It is indeed big and fat. We will go downstairs and eat it in half an hour."
"Mom and Dad, I'm going back to my room to change my clothes."
Mei Niang smiled and said, "Go ahead. How come it's so clean? Bring your dirty clothes over later. You can wash them in the afternoon and dry them in the sun."
This child must change his clothes as soon as he comes back from being sick. Some children in the village don't change their clothes for half a month in winter.
Erqiang, don't change it. It's clean. Why change it? The clothes still need to be washed.
We’re going to eat roast chicken soon. Just thinking about the smell makes my mouth water.
He had only eaten this kind of roast chicken once in his life. His uncle bought it for a group of more than a dozen people, and each person only got two small pieces. Before they could even taste the flavor, the chicken pieces had already gone into their stomachs.
This time it was different. There were two roast chickens for four people. Although each person got half a chicken, Ping'an and his aunt couldn't eat much, so in the end it was he and his uncle who got it.
He smirked at the thought.
"Erqiang, do you like this kind of day?"
"Of course I like it, but it's a pity that Dalinzi and the others can't come, and neither can my elder brother."
Dahe, Erhe and Sanhe are grandsons of my great-uncle's family, while Dalinzi is from my great-uncle's family.
Wan Changsheng said, "This time when I went back I bought a lot of meat for both of their families, for all three families.
For now, I can only take you out alone. When Ping'an is capable enough in the future, I will bring them out as soon as I have the chance.
Erqiang, when you are outside, just say what you need to say, watch and listen more, and try not to talk about the master's affairs outside, okay?"
Er Qiang nodded: "Uncle, I know this. My parents and grandparents told me several times before I left."
He took out two taels of silver from the red envelope and said, "Auntie, please keep it for me."
Mei Niang smiled and said, "I just brought back seventeen taels of silver, and your grandmother and the others were so happy. Now I got another two taels of silver. Er Qiang has really made a fortune."
Er Qiang laughed, "Brother Jixiang said that ordinary people can't even think of such a generous red envelope. Only the close ones around the master can get it. We are the ones who got all the money after the eldest master."
Ping'an went back to his room and changed his clothes. He opened his purse and found a pure gold hairpin inside. It was not heavy and was simple. There were two plum blossoms on one end, which was very exquisite.
There was also a five-liang silver ingot.
He put away the silver ingot and put the gold hairpin in his arms.
When Mei Niang took the golden hairpin, she was stunned. The dazzling gold was too dazzling.
"Mom, this is given by the Huang family. Take it with you and Dad will give you another one later."
Wan Changsheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give it to Dad when I have a son later."
My wife said, if your son gives you something, then accept it, but if he doesn’t give you anything, then don’t refuse it, otherwise he will think in the future that you don’t like what he gives you, and that will take away a lot of fun.
Er Qiang was surprised: "Auntie, take it quickly, only the old ladies of the landlords carry gold, ouch, it's blinding."
Mei Niang liked it very much. It was also the first time for her to hold gold jewelry.
She naturally accepted what her son gave her.
This time when I went back to my mother's home, I drove a mule cart and brought back a lot of bags. It was not like the previous years when I was reluctant to bring my son back because I was afraid to see my parents' distressed eyes.
This time when I went home, my parents decided to help my eldest uncle and my uncle's families. The three families went to the mountains to collect herbs together. Not only would they go to the mountains in their own village, but they could also go to the nearby mountains. The more people there were, the braver they would be.
Of course the couple had no objection. The families of my uncle and aunt have always had a good relationship, so it would be good if they could help a little.
At the Chinese dinner table, Mei Niang was planning to eat a roast chicken, but He Erqiang was staring at her eagerly. Her husband also wasn't full, and the weather was getting hot, so they decided to eat together.
Ping An ate quite a lot this time.
