Chapter 75 I will work hard
The sun is shining brightly.
Chen Qingqing returned home with the land deed.
Chen Han was feeding water to the rescued man. Seeing Chen Qingqing coming back, he smiled and said, "Sister, you're back. He hasn't woken up yet."
"Okay, let me see."
Chen Qingqing took the man's pulse and did a simple examination. She found that the fluid in the chest cavity had been absorbed and the toxins in the body had been cleared. The reason for his failure to wake up was probably due to a head injury.
"Xiaohan, he's seriously injured and won't wake up so soon."
"I understand, sister. I will take good care of him."
As they were talking, Chen Zhanshan and Lin walked in.
"Qing girl, have you greeted the village head?" Chen Zhanshan asked.
"Dad, don't worry, it's all settled." Chen Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly and handed the land deed to Lin. "Mom, I bought the few acres of land behind our house. Here is the land deed, you must keep it safe."
Lin was stunned and took it with trembling hands. She opened it and looked at it carefully. She saw the village seal and a fingerprint on it.
She had an incredible look on her face, and her lips were even trembling slightly. "Qing girl, where did you get the money to buy the land?"
Chen Zhanshan was also filled with disbelief. "Yes, Qing girl, this piece of land is where your grandparents harvest the most grain. It's worth fifty or sixty taels of silver. How could they be willing to sell it?"
"I went to the village head's house early this morning and heard that the Chen family was selling land. It seemed that they were trying to refund the money to Butcher Li. I thought we couldn't live in the cowshed forever, so we bought the land." Chen Qingqing knew that if she wanted to explain it clearly, she had to make up a white lie. "Dad, Mom, I'm telling you the truth. I didn't dare tell you yesterday because I was afraid you would worry. I actually saved this person in Wild Wolf Valley, and I also dug up a ginseng."
After he said that, he took out the ginseng he had prepared in advance from the cloth bag and handed it to Chen Zhanshan and his wife.
Lin looked at the ginseng in front of her, her eyes filled with worry. "Qing girl, you are too brave. How could you go to Wild Wolf Valley alone? Do you want to scare me to death?"
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine." Chen Qingqing smiled. "Dad, Mom, this ginseng can be sold for at least 180 taels of silver. I'll go to the town to sell it tomorrow, and then we'll build a house on those acres of land next autumn. It's a big, beautiful house."
Chen Zhanshan looked pleased and said, "Qing girl, you dug this ginseng. You should keep the money from selling it. Don't give it all to your family."
"Yes, yes, yes, you should also keep this land deed. How can your mother keep it for you?" Lin hurriedly stuffed the land deed in her hand into Chen Qingqing's hand.
"Mom, why are you being so polite to me? You take the land deed and I will keep the money. I will find a stable job for mom and dad in the future." Chen Qingqing pushed the land deed in her hand back.
Chen Zhanshan felt a little comforted in his heart. His daughter had grown up and was not only sensible, but also able to make money. Her luck was so good that she could even dig up ginseng.
"Xiumei, just follow Qingyatou's instructions!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Seeing Lin put away the deed, Chen Qingqing smiled and said to Chen Zhanshan, "Dad, the work in the town is not easy, so you don't need to go."
Chen Zhanshan shook his head and said, "Qing girl, Dad knows that you are a filial child, but Dad is still young. If I do nothing and rely on you to support me, Dad will become a waste."
"How could that be? Isn't it Dad who does the work of fetching water and chopping firewood at home? How could he be useless?"
"Dad knows you care about me, don't worry, I'm going to the docks. If there's work, I'll do it. If there's no work, I'll come back early."
Chen Qingqing couldn't persuade him, so she had to let him go.
"Dad, Mom, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."
Chen Zhanshan smiled and said, "What's the matter? You're still so polite to my parents."
"Xiaohan is eight years old now, which is a good age for studying. I want Xiaohan to study at Confucius Academy, so I want to take him to the town tomorrow." Chen Qingqing expressed her thoughts.
Chen Zhanshan was a little embarrassed. "Going to town to study costs two taels of silver a month. It's better to let Xiaohan stay at home!"
"Dad, leave the matter of Shu Xiu to me, you don't have to worry."
Chen Qingqing knew that studying in the town would cost a lot of money, but if he didn't study, Chen Han would have to deal with the fields all his life, not to mention that she had the ability to support her brother's studies.
Chen Han's eyes were full of hope, and he couldn't help but say, "Dad, I want to go to school."
Chen Zhanshan gently touched his little head and said, "Xiaohan, if you enter the academy, you must study hard and don't let your sister down."
Chen Han nodded vigorously, "Dad, I will."
That's how it was finalized...
The next day, the crowing of a rooster woke Chen Qingqing from her sleep.
She got up and washed up, then went to check on the man in the next room. He was in stable condition, so she fed him two antibiotic tablets and used silver needles to clear his acupuncture points.
Because the man was in a coma, Chen Qingqing had taken off all his clothes to take better care of him.
There was only a diaper pad under him. To prevent him from getting bedsores, I turned him over and cleaned his face and hands.
After professional training in previous lives, these subtle tasks are crucial to the patient's recovery.
She performs her duties with professionalism and dedication, always putting the needs of her patients first.
There will be no embarrassment or guilt about the patient's condition or care needs.
After finishing everything, he walked out of the house.
After breakfast, Chen Qingqing took Chen Han out of the village.
There was an old ox cart parked at the entrance of the village, and the driver was Liu Laohan from the village.
Chen Qingqing stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Grandpa Liu, how much is it per person for us to go to Qingshui Town?"
"Three cents."
Chen Qingqing and Chen Han got on the carriage.
Liu Laohan waited for a while, and seeing that no one came out, he drove the ox cart away.
Soon, we arrived at Qingshui Town.
Chen Qingqing couldn't help but sigh that no matter what car it was, it was easier than walking. "Grandpa Liu, we'll be back soon. Can you wait here for a while?"
"Then you guys should come back earlier. If it's too late, I won't wait for you."
"Okay, I'll give you the fare later."
Liu Laohan shook his head and smiled, "We are all from the same village, there is no rush."
Chen Han was so excited when he knew he could go to school that he couldn't sleep all night. Looking at the bustling streets of Qingshui Town, he felt like he was dreaming.
"Sister, can I really read?"
Chen Qingqing gently scratched his nose and said with a smile, "Of course, but you must study hard. Even if you can't pass the imperial examination, being able to read and write is certainly a good thing."
Chen Han, like a little adult, promised solemnly, "Sister, don't worry, I will never be like Third Uncle. If I am still useless by the age of twenty, it proves that I am not cut out for studying. I will go home and farm."
"Okay, I believe you."
