Chapter 139: The Sister-in-Law Who Stirred Up a Hornet's Nest (Edited)
After visiting Xinzhuang Commune in the afternoon, Lin Qingqing's mission of promoting herbal medicine in the commune was half completed. The other half depended on members of other communes.
After the county received notifications of completion from 90 communes and issued subsidies, she would transfer them to each commune.
It was only half past five when Lin Qingqing arrived at the military family compound. Every household was filled with the smell of smoke and laughter. She was already used to entering the military family compound in such a lively atmosphere, especially when she entered the family compound, she could look up and see children running around in the tube-shaped building.
She quite likes human cubs.
When Lin Qingqing got home, Xiaomei had just finished cooking. She told Xiaomei that the work at the commune was done. Xiaomei was happy and surprised.
"So fast! It's only been four days, and ninety communes."
Xiaomei couldn't help but feel that her cousin was not as bad as she had imagined. She could see through everything, didn't like gossip, was generous and knew how to behave, and had the ability to identify herbs and make medicines.
I haven't seen my cousin in the past few years, and I feel a little embarrassed when I think that I still look at her with the same impression as a few years ago.
Lin Qingqing quickly washed her hands and prepared to eat. Xiaomei had already brought the meal to the living room, so she went to the kitchen to bring the stir-fried dishes.
The vegetables planted in the yard have already sprouted. This is because Xiaomei is diligent in tidying up every morning and evening, so they are growing well.
Lin Qingqing was a little embarrassed. She could cultivate bacteria and develop various medicines, but she couldn't grow vegetables.
Thinking about this gives me a headache. When Xiaomei goes back, it won’t be appropriate for her to go to town to buy groceries every day.
How about learning how to grow vegetables from Xiaomei?
As soon as this idea came out, Lin Qingqing rejected it. It would be better to use this energy to develop another medicine.
For dinner, I had corn steamed buns with stir-fried green peppers and beans and stir-fried small vegetables.
While Lin Qingqing was eating, she was thinking about what to do after Xiaomei left. She asked Xiaomei, "What other dishes are there at home?"
Xiaomei has been concentrating on processing herbs these days and probably hasn't been to town. They don't grow any vegetables, so they can only buy them.
There were no refrigerators in that era, so people would not buy too much food at one time, otherwise it would easily go bad and be wasted.
It is also convenient to go to town by bicycle.
"A few days ago, I went to town with Sister Xiuhong to buy vegetables. We still have potatoes, eggplants, peppers, and a bunch of greens at home."
Lin Qingqing: "Then I'll go to town myself tomorrow and buy some vegetables."
Xiaomei's eyes suddenly widened: "Sister, are you going alone?"
Lin Qingqing nodded: "When you go back, I will have to go out alone, okay."
"How are the herbs my two sisters-in-law are learning?"
Xiaomei thought of the scene with Tian Tian and laughed: "Those two sisters-in-law, hahaha, they are really funny hahahaha."
Lin Qingqing changed the subject and brought back Xiaomei's words. She didn't even notice it and kept talking.
"Sisters Xiaoli and Yinghong followed Sister Xiuhong up the mountain early one morning to collect herbs. Luckily, they came across a large beehive with two pieces of honey underneath."
"That sister Xiaoli was very aggressive. She took a branch and tried to break up the honey. But her hand shook and she hit the hive. A swarm of bees came out and stung Sister Xiaoli and Sister Yinghong's heads."
"Hahahahahahaha, this is what Sister Xiuhong said. She was not far away at the time and saw it clearly. We all died of laughter."
Lin Qingqing: “…”
Honey is a good thing, but if your hands shake...
"So how are the two of them doing now?"
Xiaomei laughed until tears came out: "What else can I do? I went to the clinic to apply medicine and now I'm resting at home. I can't bear the bumps on my head. If my two sisters-in-law come out, people will laugh at me to death."
"Her eyes were so swollen that no slits were visible, her mouth looked like it had a sausage hanging from it, and there were two lumps on her forehead as big as quail eggs. Sister Xiaoli had three lumps on her forehead, and her nose was swollen three times as big as a normal person's nose. Her kids were so scared that they started crying when they saw her."
Even if he didn't come out, everyone in the family compound would know about it.
Thinking of the way her two sisters-in-law came back from the guard post in the afternoon and were watched by people along the way, and how all the military dependents, young and old, laughed until they cried, Xiaomei couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lin Qingqing: "....." You're not crazy, are you, sister~
Although it is very vivid, it is not that funny. I have been laughing for more than five minutes.
She finished her meal amid Xiaomei's laughter, then went into the house and took out a box of antidote for insect bites from the Chinese medicine store on the fourth floor of the space. She divided the ointment into the bottle of her facial cream and went downstairs to see her two sisters-in-law.
When I opened the door, I saw Xiaomei had just finished her meal, so I pulled her up and left.
"Pack up when you come back, go to Sister Xiuhong's house, and ask her to go see the two sisters-in-law with you."
She is Song Yiyuan's daughter-in-law. Song Yiyuan is the team leader. When the team members' families are away, she has the obligation to care about them.
