Chapter 211: Relatives from the Mother's Side
Cheng Qiao planted some commonly used medicinal herbs. She wanted to make more health pills, anti-inflammatory drugs, hemostatic powder, cold medicine, antipyretic tablets and other daily medicines, and let her father take them away when the time comes. The more difficult the environment, the more important good medicine will be.
By the way, it is said that one should not have the intention to harm others but one must be on guard against others. She also has to make some laxative pills, itching powder, voice-losing powder, and even poison powder. Whoever dares to harm others will harm himself.
The most important thing is the Soul-Fixing Pill, which is a top-grade medicine in ancient prescription books and is equivalent to a life-saving medicine. Although it cannot bring the dead back to life, it can still work at the critical moment of life and death.
When Li Huan and the others came back, Cheng Qiao had already prepared a batch of pills and put them into a small bag according to categories, and asked her father to keep it close to his body.
"Coincidentally, you can find a set of my underwear for Guoqing to wear."
Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment. Didn’t the skinny monkey say that he took clothes with him?
When Li Huan saw Cheng Qiao's expression, he knew what she was thinking. Then he thought of Qin Guoqing wearing skinny monkey clothes and couldn't help laughing.
"It just so happens that we all underestimated this kid Guoqing. Even though he is young, his muscles are bulging. You can tell at a glance that he has practiced. The skinny boy's clothes have been torn."
Cheng Qiao imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing. The skinny monkey must be so embarrassed. Sure enough, Li Huan said that the skinny monkey wanted to become an apprentice, but he didn't know where to find a master.
"Don't cause trouble for my master. My master won't accept any apprentices."
Cheng Qiao reminded Li Huan that although Ye Jun was usually steady and gentle, if he got angry, Li Huan would definitely not be able to bear it.
"Coincidentally, I see. Don't worry. By the way, do you think we should have electricity in our yard? I got the news that the county is going to expand the scope of electricity supply."
In fact, electricity has been connected to the city center of the county town, but Li Huan's house is far away from the city center, so it has never had electricity. Now that there is good news, of course I have to ask Cheng Qiao.
"Yes, electricity makes everything easier. I can even buy a sewing machine. When my mother wants to make clothes, she can come here and operate the sewing machine."
“I don’t know when Xiangyang Village will have electricity. I guess we’ll have to wait.”
Cheng Qiao nodded. When she escaped from Xiangyang Village in her previous life, there was no electricity. Otherwise, if there were street lights, she might not have been able to escape.
Cheng Liguo originally wanted to talk to Cheng Qiao, but he was already tired after eating and sleeping in the car for seven or eight days in a row. After taking a shower, he rushed to the kang prepared by Cheng Qiao and fell asleep.
In another room in the outer courtyard, Qin Guoqing's shouts were deafening. He was the driver and his job was harder than Cheng Liguo's, but fortunately he was young and could still handle it.
The next day, at daybreak, Li Le brought Uncle Niu to the house in the county town. When Uncle Niu saw the second courtyard built with brick walls, his eyes almost fell out.
"Uncle Niu, this was left by my great-grandfather. My second brother repaired it. It will be convenient for Xuhui and I to go to school in the future."
Li Le explained cleverly, and Uncle Niu thought about it and realized that indeed, the little gangster’s great-grandfather did have a house in the county town, but after a long time, he had forgotten about it.
"This house is great, big and solid. If your great-grandfather were still alive, he would definitely be happy."
Li Le secretly rolled his eyes. If his great-grandfather were still alive, he would definitely be over a hundred years old. In this age when people are hungry and cold, who can live to be over a hundred years old?
"Hey, Uncle Niu, why are you here so early?"
"Qiao girl, you are lazy. What time is it now?"
Cheng Qiao looked at her watch. It was already past seven o'clock. She was indeed lazy. But she couldn't blame her. She didn't hear Guoqing snoring.
Cheng Liguo had already gotten up. After a night's sleep, his mental state had obviously improved. Cheng Qiao brought out millet porridge and large meat buns from the kitchen, as well as a plate of pickled radish and a bowl of meat floss.
"Uncle Niu, let's eat together."
"Well, I'm welcome then."
Uncle Niu's eyes lit up when he saw the big meat bun. He picked up a big meat bun with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. When he saw Cheng Liguo looking at him with a smile, he knew in his heart that this man must be Cheng Qiao's father.
"You are Cheng Qiao's father, right? My last name is Chen, but they all call me Uncle Niu. I see you are younger than me, so you can just call me Brother Niu."
"Hello, Brother Niu. My name is Cheng Liguo, and I'm Cheng Qiao's father. You can just call me Liguo."
The two of them talked about the mountains while eating breakfast. Uncle Niu picked out some important things about Xiangyang Village and told Cheng Liguo. Only then did Cheng Liguo know that his son-in-law was actually the village chief.
"When you go to our village, be careful of the Fenqiu family and Chen Weimin. They are sworn enemies of your daughter and son-in-law, especially Chen Weimin."
Cheng Liguo nodded. Some of these things were also mentioned in Cheng Qiao's letter. He felt sorry for his daughter who grew up carefree and how could she meet such a person, but he was far away and had no freedom, so he was really powerless.
"Thank you, Brother Niu, for reminding me. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"There are a few bad guys living in my backyard. You should stay away from them. But Zhao Guoliang and his wife are OK. They are hardworking and down-to-earth. My clothes are all made for me by Zhao Guoliang's wife."
"Zhao Guoliang?"
"You know him."
"It sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before."
Cheng Liguo's heart was filled with waves. He knew that his father-in-law had a brother named Zhao Shen, who had two sons. The eldest son, Zhao Guoliang, married Xiao Aiqun, and the second son, Zhao Guodong, was divorced.
At the beginning, Zhao Min ignored her father Zhao Chen's opposition, stole a sum of money and gold bars from her family and came to him. The old man was so angry that he published an announcement in the newspaper on the spot to sever the father-daughter relationship.
When they gave birth to Cheng Qiao, Zhao Min's older brother Zhao Hui, brought Zhao Guoliang and Zhao Guodong to visit them secretly. After they started dating, they always kept in touch secretly.
So in Cheng Liguo's heart, Zhao Guoliang and Zhao Guodong are also his cousins and brothers-in-law. If they are really sent down to Xiangyang Village, he has to take good care of them.
But Zhao Guoliang's current identity is not easy to recognize, so he might as well help secretly. In a blink of an eye, Cheng Liguo already had several ideas in his mind and did not notice the gleam in Uncle Niu's eyes.
Because Li Huan still had to wait for Qin Guoqing to wake up to trade supplies, Cheng Qiao carried little Cheng Li and took Cheng Liguo onto the ox cart and staggered towards Xiangyang Village.
"Uncle Niu, whose family is this guy on your ox cart?"
"Are you blind? Don't you see Cheng Qiao and Le Le? Of course it's Cheng Qiao's."
"Cheng Qiao, this man can't be your father."
"Aunt Chrysanthemum, you are right, it is my father."
"My goodness, no wonder you are so good-looking, your father is also good-looking."
Aunt Juhua was a widow. Her eyes lit up when she saw Cheng Liguo, and she felt even more satisfied when she learned that he was Cheng Qiao's father.
Originally, he wanted to say some dirty words to seduce Cheng Liguo, but when he saw Cheng Liguo's serious expression, he suddenly couldn't continue and could only leave in embarrassment.
Cheng Liguo was planting trees in the Hexi Corridor. He had seen a lot of women like this and knew that he couldn't be playful with them, otherwise they would definitely take advantage of the situation and it would be difficult for him to get away.
"Qiao, try not to approach people like this in the future. They will only hinder your progress."
Cheng Qiao nodded but sighed in her heart, this is the countryside, if you don't chat up this one or that one, those women will think you are deliberately teasing them and you will drown yourself in saliva.
