Half an hour later, Jiang Xi was tired of taking notes, so he put down his pen, rubbed his neck, and turned Pei Hejun over.

By this time it was completely quiet outside.

Two o'clock is the time for everyone to go to work. The Pei family is holding a banquet today and everyone has been busy all afternoon. There is no time to delay, so now it is half past two and there is no one else in the village except a few playful children.

Only at this moment did Jiang Xi feel like going out.

The two younger sisters were doing the final cleaning in the yard, sweeping away the garbage left over from the banquet. When they saw Jiang Xi coming out, they all shouted, "Big Sister!"

Jiang Xi went over and took their broom: "Let me do it."

"No, no, it will be done in a moment." Jiang Ermei dodged her hand and swiftly swept out a pile of garbage: "Auntie is going to return the table and benches. Big sister, you are tired all day, go and have a rest."

When we hold banquets at home, we don’t have extra tables and chairs, so we have to borrow them from people around us and return them after use.

Jiang Sanmei readily handed her the trash can and said, "Big sister, I'm going to eat some melon seeds. Auntie just gave me a lot of melon seeds. Do you want some?"

"I'm not tired and I don't want to eat. If you want to eat, go ahead and don't spit out the shells." Jiang Xi waved his hand to let her go. He worked with Jiang Ermei to clean up the garbage in the yard and let Ermei go to eat as well.

While they were eating, Jiang Xi watched.

Jiang Sanmei felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she handed the melon seeds over and said, "Big sister, do you want some?"

Jiang Xi shook his head and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. There were many leaves and flowers drawn on the paper, but if you look closely, they are all the same thing, just drawn from different angles.

The second and third sisters craned their necks to look at it, but couldn't see anything: "Sister, what is this?"

"Look familiar?"

Jiang Xi flicked the paper in her hand with a smile and said, "Would you like to help me? Go find this thing in places with lush vegetation. It's ten cents per kilogram."

The picture above is Patchouli, which is not uncommon in the village, but not in great quantity either. It is very effective in refreshing the mind and relieving heatstroke. As a doctor, Jiang Xi cannot be without his own herbal medicine storehouse.

But Pei Hejun cannot be away from people for a long time now, so he can only let someone dig him out. These two little sisters are just right. If not, he will think of other ways.

Jiang Sanmei's eyes lit up immediately and she nodded without thinking: "Yes! I'll go right away!"

She almost wanted to snatch the paper.

Although I don't know how much this thing is, one cent is a lot! If I look for it slowly, I can get one kilogram!

Jiang Ermei shook her head and said honestly, "Sister, I'll find it for you, but I don't want any money. You can keep the money."

Jiang Sanmei's excitement suddenly faded, and she was a little reluctant, but she also said, "Then I don't want it either."

Jiang Xi laughed: "No need, I still have ten cents. For now, I only have this one picture. You can keep it safe and go there when you have nothing to do, but you still have to continue to help with the housework, understand?"

"I know!" Jiang Sanmei said loudly. Seeing that her second sister wanted to say something, she pulled her second sister's sleeve and said, "Second sister, just take what my eldest sister gave you. Use it to buy pens and notebooks in the future!"

Jiang Ermei nodded after hearing this and said seriously, "Then let's go now."

"Go, go." Jiang Sanmei also followed.

Jiang Xi smiled and nodded, telling them to hurry up and come back before dark and not to go into the mountains.

After some explanation, the two sisters ran away hand in hand.

Pei's mother happened to come back from delivering the table and chairs. The two said hello and ran away. Pei's mother came in with a smile, saw Jiang Xi, and said, "What are these two girls doing? They are so happy?"

Jiang Xi stretched his lazy back, went to get some water, thought for a moment, and then took a sugar jar from the house, saying, "I'll ask them to pick herbs for me and give them ten cents for their hard work."

"No wonder." Mother Pei's smile deepened. She was not dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law for using money to send her sister away. She was sweating from moving things back and forth. Just as she was about to drink the water poured by Jiang Xi, she saw her take a sugar jar and scoop a spoonful of sugar into it. She was shocked: "Why put sugar in it? It's a waste!"

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "How can it be a waste? Eat well to keep healthy."

Mother Pei felt a little heartbroken, but also very happy. She took a sip of water and felt a sweet taste in her mouth, which made her feel light-headed.

She has always been reluctant to eat these delicious things. All the things bought by the third son in previous years were given to her grandchildren one by one. She didn't give them all this time because she was upset about what her two eldest sons had done and didn't love her grandchildren as much as before. When Jiang Xi came home a few days ago, she gave these things directly to her. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law was still thinking about her.

Jiang Xi also made himself a cup of sugar water. The original owner was malnourished and needed to be taken good care of.

After Pei's mother finished drinking and took a breath, she could not wait to go back into the house. When she came out, she was holding a wooden box in her hand. She opened it and saw that it was filled with small change and bills. She handed it to her daughter-in-law generously: "This is the gift money they sent today. There are money and bills. Take it."

Jiang Xi shook her head quickly: "I don't want it, Mom, I'll have to return it in the future, just keep it, I won't worry about it."

Mother Pei frowned: "You take it. Your father and I will be the ones to return the favor later."

Jiang Xi still didn't want it. She was firm and refused several times. Pei's mother had no choice but to give up and said helplessly: "Okay, Mom will take it first, but you must take this one."

She took out a passbook from the bottom of the box. "This is the allowance from the third brother over the years. There should be more left, but he was generous and always liked to buy food and drinks for me and his father. In addition, I borrowed some from the eldest and second brothers before, so this is all I have left."

Jiang Xi took it this time. With Pei's mother's help, she didn't think there would be much money in the passbook. A few hundred yuan would be good.

But the next second she realized she had answered it too quickly.

Two thousand two hundred!

Jiang Xi took a deep breath and quickly stuffed the passbook back: "Mom, this is too much, you take it, I don't want it."

"Here you go! This is the money that the third son saved for his wife-in-law. Now that you're married, I'm sure I'll give it to you." Mother Pei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She handed it over again without saying anything more. She got up and put the wooden box back in the house. "The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. Your father didn't bring any water when he left. I'll go get him some."

Jiang Xi could only hold the heavy passbook and add: "Then mommy, give daddy two spoonfuls of sugar too, don't forget!"

Pei's mother laughed and responded, but she muttered in her heart that the old man was so lucky, she didn't expect that they would have to enjoy the blessing of their daughter-in-law in the end.

Jiang Xi walked into the room holding the passbook, looked at it again and again, and made sure that he was not mistaken: it was two thousand and two.

But seriously, how much does it cost to be a soldier?

She thought of the time when she first came into this world and met Lu Jianguo. He said that a battalion commander earned more than 700 yuan a month, and if he was a little frugal, he could save 800 yuan a year.

Pei Hejun is 25 years old this year. He joined the army at the age of 17, and it has been seven years now. The army provides food and accommodation, and there are no extra expenses. Although she has not asked about the military service, her estimate is not bad. It seems understandable that he can save so much?

I don't understand a thing!

Jiang Xi couldn't believe it. How could someone save up all the wages?

In her previous life, she was a doctor and worked in the best hospital. She earned a lot, but even so, not making ends meet was already considered thrifty.

Pei Hejun is really amazing. He can save the majority of the money for his wife while occasionally providing for his parents' food and drink.

This money would not be needed in the short term, so Jiang Xi did not dare to hold it in his hands. He rummaged through the drawers to find a place to hide it.

Two thousand two hundred is really a huge sum of money in this era. When the sale is opened in the future, I have to buy a house for investment as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a waste.

Here Jiang Xi is hiding things like a hamster.

Pei's mother carried a kettle of sugared water to give to her husband.

The workplace was not close and it took a long time to walk there. Pei's mother handed the water over. Pei's father, who was so thirsty that he was planning to drink pond water, took it and started to drink it.

After two sips, his thirst was quenched. Father Pei smacked his lips and asked in surprise, "Why is it sweet?"

Mother Pei glared at him: "Xiaoxi said you were tired from work and needed to drink something good."

Father Pei smiled, his thin face was full of wrinkles, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. He drank two more sips and said, "Okay, you can go back. Is there any meat at home? Cook some meat tonight. Xiaoxi looks quite thin."

"There is a little bit, which I kept specially." Pei's mother nodded. It was sunny now, and she was impatient to stay any longer, so she turned around and left.

Say hello to people you know on the road.

"Hey, this is for men to drink!"

"Yeah, that old man left in such a hurry that he didn't even take a bottle of water with him, so we had to bring it to him." Pei's mother complained with a smile.

After she left, the rest of the people gathered together and murmured. The woman in the blue floral headscarf said, "Oh, she's really different now. She was so sad and her eyes were swollen from crying just two days ago, but now she's smiling."

The woman in the floral shirt next to him pouted: "Who knows that her two sons are not close to him, so she only relies on the youngest son. How could she be happy before? I thought she was finished, but God gave her a daughter-in-law. She is really lucky."

At this time, a woman who was looking at the bitter face frowned and said, "What's good about it? Which daughter is as cruel as her? She doesn't care about her own mother and uncle, and she married into the family without asking for anything."

The woman in the floral shirt sneered, "Is she so cruel that she brought her two sisters here to raise? We all know what kind of person her uncle is. If my daughter-in-law has such an in-law family in the future, I will never let her in! Look at how good the Jiang family was before? When the man died, the family's wealth was emptied. I think she did a good job!"

The bitter-faced woman suddenly frowned: "You are too cruel, after all, we are a family--"

She was about to reprimand the other party when a sharp roar erupted from the front: "You damn bitch, you slack off all day long. Did I marry you just to watch you slack off?! You don't want today's work points?!"

The bitter-faced woman showed a sense of sympathy and said nothing more.

The woman in the floral shirt next to him lamented, "What a sin! Xisheng's mother scolded his wife again. I saw Xisheng's wife looked very bad today and she even vomited several times. I asked her to go back and rest but she refused. In the end, she was scolded again!"

The woman in the blue floral headscarf followed up, "Xisheng is useless. He lets his mother bully his wife. She's really going to drive her to death. Let's see who will marry Xisheng in the future!"

As they sighed, Pei's mother was also attracted by the movement and stopped. At a glance, she saw the woman with a pale face. Her tall and thin figure seemed to be just bones. She was lying on the edge of the field, vomiting continuously.

Under the shade of a nearby tree, an old lady with a mean face pointed at her and cursed: "Why are you pretending to be so nice to me? A hen that doesn't lay eggs can't even earn work points, what do you want to do?!"

Mother Pei couldn't bear it and advised: "Xisheng's mother, your daughter-in-law seems to be sick. Why don't you let Xisheng take her to the clinic for a checkup? It would be bad if anything happened to her."

"She is in such a poor condition, why should she go to the clinic? It's a waste of money!" Xisheng's mother refused immediately. She was reluctant to spend money on an outsider.

The daughter-in-law's physiological reaction of vomiting froze because of this sentence, and then she vomited even more violently: "Gag——", as if she wanted to vomit out all the bitter bile.

Pei's mother felt distressed when she saw this, but there was nothing she could do. This was someone else's family affair, and it would be inappropriate to interfere, so she could only give up.

But just as she was about to leave, her eldest daughter-in-law's voice suddenly appeared behind her: "Auntie Fen, my third brother's wife is amazing. I heard that she learned medical skills from the old doctor. Let her treat Xisheng's wife and she will definitely be able to cure her illness. Otherwise, if Xisheng's wife is gone, won't you have to spend money to marry another one?"

Pei's mother glared at Xu Cui. What nonsense is this old lady talking about?

The old lady who had just refused to treat her daughter-in-law was moved when she heard this. She smiled and said, "So this is what He Jun's mother thinks. I will go find your daughter-in-law now."

Mother Pei said hurriedly: "She's talking nonsense. How can my third daughter-in-law be so great? She is just treating a dislocation. Your case is much more serious than a dislocation! She can't do it!"

We can't let Xisheng's mother get stuck with us. If the disease is cured, we will get praise, but if it's not, we will have to pay compensation!

Xisheng's mother had done this before. When Xisheng's wife was pregnant, she was so tired that she had a stomachache and was sent to the clinic in the town. As a result, the baby was not saved. The old lady made a fuss for the whole afternoon and only stopped after the doctor paid five dollars.

Xu Cui was not afraid of Pei's mother at all. Now that the third child was gone, the old lady would rather trust an outsider than give the pension to them. What was she afraid of?

Instead, she shouted even louder: "Auntie Fen, don't look at my mother, she is humble. My third brother's wife is amazing. During the lunch banquet, a child was almost choked to death, but she managed to save him in a few moves. You can go without worry!"

"Xu Cui! Do you believe that I will beat you to death if you say another word of nonsense?!" Pei's mother was completely furious. She picked up a hoe from the ground and waved it at Xu Cui.

Xu Cui hurried over and added fuel to the fire: "It's a good thing that mom saved people. Why are you so angry?!"

After saying that, she smiled and glanced at Xisheng's wife who was lying on the edge of the field and dying.

This guy has been acting strange since he started working. He went to the restroom several times and fell several times on the way back. His face was as pale as if he had been dead for three days. He was sweating profusely in the hottest weather, and even the muscles on half of his face seemed to be twitching.

If Jiang Xi can cure this condition, it would be incredible!

When she is blamed, will her mother-in-law still have the nerve to praise her daughter-in-law?

As expected, Xisheng's mother, who didn't want to spend any more money to marry a daughter-in-law, had already started to call people, "Xisheng, come and go find He Jun's wife without telling your wife. She can cure it!"

Pei Family

Jiang Xi, who was chatting with the system, suddenly saw a new task appear on the translucent screen in front of him: [Task 14: Treat people with food poisoning, task reward: 20 points]
