Chapter 133: Medicinal Materials
The village has been noisy these days, with a group of people coming to Ye Zhen's house every day, all asking for seeds.
A lot of tea has been consumed these days, and a lot of cigarette butts, melon seeds and peanut shells have been swept up on the ground!
Father Ye smiled at the visitor and said, "Next year, we can plant strawberries with stem removal. The price will be a little cheaper, but the fruit yield may not be as high as the first planting. If you want to buy seeds, you can pay the original price. If you want to plant strawberries with stem removal, the strawberry planting families in the village have them. You can discuss it among yourselves."
"My family? Haha, my family plans to plant more next year, and the stems may not be enough. If you have any extra, you can come and buy them. They are a few cents each." Dad Ye said with a smile.
As soon as one leaves, another comes. No matter who comes, Ye's father always gives the same answer.
If you want to grow it, just buy it with money. It’s not expensive and anyone in the village can grow it.
Finally, another group of people left, and the Ye family finally had some peace and quiet.
Uncle Ye and his wife were both there, and Ye Yuan had returned with the child.
This time they made a lot of money, and the couple immediately saw the prospects. They quickly called their divorced daughter who was working in the factory to come back.
The child is still young, and can be sent to elementary school or kindergarten when school starts in September this year. We can then buy an electric car to pick him up and let Ye Yuan come back to help grow strawberries.
This is much easier than working. I can stay at home with my children without having to work hard outside.
Ye Dong has already started breeding shrimps and crabs at his uncle's house. After the village chief settled the money, Uncle Ye immediately repaid all the borrowed money.
Being debt-free makes one feel relieved, and being happy makes one feel cheerful. The miserable expressions on Uncle Ye and his wife’s faces have been alleviated a lot.
The Ye family all had something to look forward to. Dad Ye bought some good wine, prepared a table of delicious food, and invited Uncle Ye and his family to come over for a gathering.
"Second brother, you are now a famous person in the village." Uncle Ye sighed, how many people have come this morning?
They all came here to grow strawberries.
Many people came with gifts to express their gratitude.
Father Ye waved his hand modestly and poured a glass for Uncle Ye: "Everyone had a hard time before, we are all relatives, so we should help each other if we can."
"You are so magnanimous. If others have ways to make money, they would hide them. " Uncle Ye took a sip of wine and admired his second brother very much.
The two brothers drank, and Ye's mother and Ye's aunt also talked:
"You don't know how ugly Aunt Shuiying's daughter-in-law screamed before, and how much she regrets it now." Aunt Ye felt happy and relieved.
When we bought the seeds, the other party brought some unpleasant things to say, and Aunt Ye still remembers them.
"Oh! Why say anything to her? Let her be envious and jealous." Mother Ye didn't like Aunt Shuiying's daughter-in-law very much. Not only did she steal the wolfberries from her family, but she also destroyed her garden. If Uncle Lao Gen hadn't seen it, she wouldn't have known that it was the other party who did it.
"What if she comes to buy the seedlings shamelessly?" asked Aunt Ye.
"Her? You don't know her yet. She's just greedy for cheap things. Besides, growing strawberries is only a little easier than working. You have to watch over the fields all the time. How can it be so easy? Do you think she will give up playing mahjong in town?"
"This is the kind of person who would rather spend money and time playing cards than go out to earn money."
Mother Ye rolled her eyes. Everyone knew that Aunt Shuiying's daughter-in-law liked to play cards. It was impossible to ask her to stay in the fields every day!
Aunt Ye smiled and said, "You are right. It is not easy to work in the fields. I heard that she doesn't even open the vegetable garden. She picks vegetables for Aunt Shuiying every day."
"Forget it, don't mention her. Eat your food, eat your food." Mother Ye didn't want to mention her and moved on to other topics.
Grandma Ye fed the two children and looked at her eldest granddaughter who was sitting silently beside her:
"Yuanyuan, you seem to have lost a lot of weight. Are you not going out this time?"
Everyone looked at Ye Yuan, who was shy and shook her head: "I'm not going out."
"Just stay at home and ask your father to give you a piece of land. Then you can learn to grow fruit like your second uncle and his family. Save the money you earn. You will have an easier time when the child grows up."
"Third brother, remember to give Yuanyuan a bigger and more fertile field. It's not easy for her to raise two children." Grandpa Ye instructed Uncle Ye.
"Dad, I know." Uncle Ye replied, "Don't I feel bad for my own daughter?"
Ye Yuan's eyes were red and she lowered her head. Although she had a failed marriage, her family tolerated her and did not despise her.
"Dad, I decided to change the surnames of my two children to Cao."
Ye Yuan had already had this idea. When she gave birth to two girls, Cao Jing didn't even take care of them and named them randomly. Now they are divorced and his husband has his own money and has completely forgotten about the two children.
"Just change it. Let's go to the police station to ask tomorrow. Anyway, the child's household registration has been transferred here and is in the village. The villagers won't say anything." Father Ye continued.
Once you settle in a village, you will enjoy some rights in the village, such as homestead, land share...
Although Shanbei Village is poor and the land is worthless, the profits are not so easy to distribute.
It just so happens that the village is indebted to you for growing strawberries, so it will be much more convenient if I tell you about it.
Ye Zhen didn't say anything. His cousin was still as thin as he remembered, but her foundation was a little weak and she had many minor health problems.
After eating and drinking, Ye Zhen went back to his room and took out the bottle of pills, and also took some other processed herbs.
"Uncle, the medicine in this bottle is for Dongzi's leg. There are three pills in it. Tell him to take one pill a month."
Ye Dong has a mortal body, and the pill has great energy, so it takes his body a month to digest and absorb one pill.
The quality of the medicinal materials is not high, but it is just right for Ye Dong's necrotic legs. After taking the medicine, Ye Dong's legs will be fine.
As long as Ye Dong takes care of himself slowly and gets enough nutrition in the later stage, his legs will return to normal and will not atrophy.
Uncle Ye took it. The bottle of medicine felt warm to the touch and looked very expensive. He was excited but embarrassed.
"Isn't this expensive? How much is it? I'll transfer it to you." Ye Dong's leg is indeed a concern for Ye's uncle's family. The medicine that Ye Zhen took out looks high-end, and relatives can't take advantage of it for nothing.
"It's not expensive. These are some medicines that someone helped me make into pills and gave me a few. They are good for the body and may be useful for Dongzi's legs."
Afraid that Uncle Ye would refuse, Ye Zhen added: "Look, grandpa and grandma have also taken medicine, and they are much better. The old injury has not recurred this year."
Uncle Ye and his family carefully looked at their parents' faces. They had black hair and rosy complexions, and they looked several years younger.
He saw it all when we were picking strawberries. He was busy before and had no time to ask. Now the two old people are not affected at all when carrying heavy objects. They can even go downstairs and up the mountain to work. They don't look like people suffering from various old-age diseases at all.
You know, Grandpa Ye was hospitalized for surgery last year. His emaciated body and sickness are still vivid in my mind.
Looking at him now, he seems to have returned to middle age. Compared with Uncle Ye, it is hard to tell who looks older.
"Third brother, take it. No need to ask too many questions. Ye Zi knows the tricks. It's enough for you to know that it's a good thing." Grandpa Ye blocked Uncle Ye's question.
Ye Zhen handed Uncle Ye a large bag of herbs, all of which she had picked from the deep pit of spiritual stones. She had processed them well and their medicinal properties were all there.
"And these, go home and boil them, each person can drink one cup a day. I have divided the amount for each time, this is for nourishing the body."
"And this, these can be stewed with chicken soup and eaten as medicinal food to replenish Sister Yuan's blood." Ye Zhen carefully classified them with Ye Xiaoshu's family and told them how to eat them.
The effects of these medicinal herbs are not that obvious, and it takes several months before you can see external changes in the body. During this time, in the village, no one will notice it because it is under everyone's nose.
After all, the more things are planted in the village, the more convenient it will be for Ye Zhen to practice. The villagers are in a place full of spiritual energy and vitality, and people will live longer and healthier, with fewer illnesses and disasters.
The changes in the Ye family won’t be too noticeable, they’ll just be younger.
As long as the villagers are materially satisfied, they will naturally relax spiritually, and people will only think about how happy things are.
Finally, Ye Zhen reminded: "This medicinal material is rare, but the effect is very good. I got it with great difficulty. It is not sold outside, so..."
"I know, we won't tell anyone!" Aunt Ye made the first guarantee.
She knew that Ye Zi knew someone, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to sell strawberries to the government.
Maybe it was given by someone else. Didn’t Ye’s mother say before that Ye saved a child from a big family while she was interning outside?
This must be a good thing. Haven't you seen her parents-in-law and father-in-law, both of whom are over 60 years old? What are they like now? It's just that they stroll around the village every day, and the villagers don't realize it imperceptibly.
She and Uncle Ye were not in the village before, so they were shocked when they saw it when they came back.
"Take it, listen to Ye Zi, and take good care of yourself. Look how tired you are. You are older than your mother and I!" Grandpa Ye smiled. He felt sad when he saw his son coughing from time to time while eating, with wrinkles all over his old face and white hair popping out.
His granddaughter is capable and thinks of her family. The old man helps cover up Ye Zhen's secret and puts the blame on everything because she got good things through connections.
"Listen to dad. Just take the leaves I give you. Your niece is honoring your uncle." Ye's father also advised.
"It was hard to get the leaves, and only family members can get them. Don't tell anyone else. What should we do when they come to our house?" Mother Ye took the herbs and handed them to Uncle Ye.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Uncle Ye and his family believed it and carefully took the things home.
