Chapter 143 Of course it has to be handed over to the public
"Okay, when Sister Xiuhong comes in the afternoon, I'll tell her about this." Lin Qingqing smiled faintly.
"Then I'll go back to the army. I have to tell my unit about this and ask the soldiers to mark out the land. Then I'll ask the army to issue a notice. Sisters-in-law who want to learn can come to you to sign up the day after tomorrow." Aunt Wang counted on her fingers what she had to arrange for the afternoon.
"Hey, the registration period starts today and ends the day after tomorrow. I will stay in the compound and not leave."
After the two of them finished chatting, Aunt Wang returned to the army. She had to go to several departments to arrange this matter.
Lin Qingqing also went back to the house for a nap. People tend to feel sleepy in the hot summer.
1:30 pm.
Lin Qingqing got up and found Xiaomei and her four sisters-in-law, Xiuhong, Hongli, Xiaoli and Yinghong, all waiting in the yard.
She went out of the house and washed her face with a towel first. Xiaomei, Xiuhong and Hongyin were familiar with this operation and did not say anything first.
When Sister Yinghong saw Lin Qingqing coming out, she hurriedly said, "Qingqing, the medicine you gave me was so effective. Look at my face."
Yesterday she was so itchy and painful that she couldn't sleep, so her husband asked her to try the medicine Lin Qingqing gave her. As soon as she applied it, her face felt cool and the pain and itching almost disappeared. She slept soundly all night, and when she woke up this morning, the pain on her face was almost gone, but it was still a little swollen.
Lin Qing washed his face, hung the towel on the rope, and then walked over.
At first glance, Wei Yinghong's face was still swollen, but it was similar to the swelling of an ordinary person's face.
"Yeah, much better."
"Qingqing, thank you." Sister Yinghong said sincerely.
If it's still like yesterday, I won't be able to go out and see anyone today.
"I applied the ointment again before going out this morning. Do I need to apply it again at night?" It's not good to use too much medicine, so she needs to find out the situation clearly.
"Use it again at night and it will probably be fine." Lin Qingqing advised.
It's afternoon now and their faces are still swollen. They must use it again.
The poisonous insects in the mountains feed on various wild grasses in the mountains and are more poisonous than ordinary insects.
Lin Qingqing sat down under the awning, and Yinghong followed suit. "Qingqing, did you make this medicine yourself?"
Lin Qingqing nodded and told her story of how she studied traditional Chinese medicine in her hometown in order to become more beautiful.
Xiaoli also laughed: "No wonder you are so beautiful, your skin is as delicate as egg white." As she said this, she moved forward again.
Lin Qingqing: “…” Sister-in-law, do you really have to lie on my face and look at me?
"Sister-in-law Xiaoli, how is your herbal medicine study going?" Lin Qingqing immediately changed the subject. Although she was pretty, she was not used to being looked at closely by several pairs of eyes at the same time.
After asking this question, the atmosphere became quiet.
Lin Qingqing: “?”
Seeing the two people in attendance lowering their heads, Xiuhong took over and said, "Xiaoli and Yinghong learned from Hongxi this morning, but they still can't do it."
Xiuhong was also a little puzzled. It wasn't that difficult when they followed Lin Qingqing before.
She can learn it, she's just slow.
These two people couldn't learn it even after studying for the whole morning, but they had no problem picking herbs.
"No, everyone has their own advantages. Those two sisters-in-law can pick herbs, right?"
Zhang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
Wei Yinghong also nodded, indicating that she could do it.
Lin Qingqing smiled: "That's good. Sister Xiuhong probably won't have time to pick herbs later. Sister Xiaoli and Sister Yinghong will pick herbs for Xiaomei and Sister Hongxi. This partnership is perfect."
Xiuhong widened her eyes. She didn't understand what this meant, so she turned to look at Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing: "Commander Wang's (chief's) Aunt Wang knew that I was selling herbs, and she wanted to give the women in the military compound a job. Since our unit is surrounded by mountains, she wanted me to teach the women in the compound how to identify herbs. She came to me after lunch and told me this."
"In the end, I recommended Sister Xiuhong. She's familiar with all the sisters-in-law in the compound, and can handle them. She's always available all day."
"When the sisters-in-law in the compound have all the herbs, bring them here and have Sister Xiuhong check whether they are qualified. Then weigh them and take them to the county to sell. I will give Sister Xiuhong half a kilogram of hard-earned money for each kilogram. That's why I asked you yesterday if you are willing to take care of them."
Hong Xi asked, "Qingqing, you just said that Sister Xiaoli and Sister Yinghong will collect the herbs from now on, and Xiaomei and I will take care of it. Is that what you mean?"
Lin Qingqing nodded.
Sister-in-law Xiaoli said happily, "This is a great relationship." She knew that if Xiuhong and Hongli worked together, each of them could earn more than three yuan in four days, which was a very good income.
Sister-in-law Yinghong also had a relieved expression.
Xiuhong swung her arm and said, "I'll do it. When the time comes, I'll make it clear upfront: if I'm a good person, I'm a bad person. If I'm not, I'm not a good person. We don't care about friendship."
Half a catty of herbs per pound. There are so many sisters-in-law in the military compound, and she earns no less than she does when she gets the herbs herself. Why wouldn't she be happy?
Seeing Xiuhong agreed, Lin Qingqing said, "I've told Aunt Wang that the herbs on the mountain behind are reserved for our Eagle Claw Sisters. The other Sisters' troops in the compound will divide the area, so it won't affect us."
Sister Hongying put down the herbs in her hand and said with a smile, "That's great. I was worried that if everyone went to collect herbs, we wouldn't have any herbs to dig."
Lin Qingqing looked at her sister-in-law, who was relieved, and added, "Aunt Wang said that when we sell herbs again in the future, we have to give two cents to the army."
The sisters-in-law calculated that they had to give 20 cents for every dollar, and they could still earn 80 cents. The money from the mountains was all government-owned, so they deserved some of it if they handed it over.
Yinghong said, "Of course it has to be handed over to the government."
Sister-in-law Xiaoli nodded, and Hongyi smiled and said, "The herbs are from the mountains, not from our crops, so we should hand them over."
Lin Qingqing: "Hey, the sister-in-laws in the courtyard have started signing up today. This event should start in two days."
"I went to town to buy some meat today. I'll make meat dumplings for you all tomorrow. All the sisters-in-law can come and eat dumplings at noon. Sister-in-law Xiuhong, please tell the other sisters-in-law when you go back tonight. Anyone who wants to learn about herbs can come any day."
The soldiers have to train and eat lunch in the army, so the sisters-in-law are free at noon.
Sister Yinghong covered her mouth and laughed: "Why are you so polite? Come on, let's come every day."
Xiuhong: "Okay, okay. I'll tell my sisters-in-law when I get home. They'll definitely be happy." Who doesn't like meat dumplings?
Xiaomei sat in the corner picking herbs, looking up at the others from time to time with a smile on her face.
For a while the yard was filled with laughter.
