Cheng Yunan found the two ginsengs that had escaped the net in the corner.
It is Li Hongmei's luck that both trees have grown for more than ten years.
Moreover, the efficacy of medicine for those grown in space is definitely stronger than that for those grown outside.
Cheng Yunan dug up the smaller one with great pain and prepared it that night.
The next morning, Cheng Yunan woke up and took the ginseng to Ma Xiulian's room.
"Mom, this ginseng was given to you by Master Wencheng as a gift for your apprenticeship. Now that my second sister-in-law needs it urgently, give it to her first."
"What?! You, you said there is ginseng inside?" Ma Xiu Lian looked at Cheng Yunan in shock.
The third son's wife dug Ganoderma lucidum from the mountains some time ago, and now she has ginseng in her hands. This is simply too lucky.
Ma Xiulian looked at the ginseng and felt deeply moved.
This is a good thing for your health, just take it like this...
Ma Xiulian closed the cookie box and said, "Ginseng as good as this is probably hard to find in the world. Don't worry, Nannan. Mom will give you 200 yuan. Just treat it as if your second brother bought it from you."
"Well, thank you, Mom." Cheng Yunan would not give it away for free out of pretense.
She had already brought it here for Lu Jianguo's sake. If Li Hongmei had asked her to borrow it...
Humph! Li Hongmei's face is not big enough for her.
"What are you thanking me for? I should thank you. I know you put up with Li Hongmei's weird temper and helped her get treatment for your second brother. You are a sensible child, and your mother shouldn't play dumb.
If my family wasn’t so tight on money, I would have thought that the two hundred yuan was too little!”
Cheng Yunan was quite relieved.
Her husband's family understood her intentions, and that was enough.
"By the way, Nan Nan, Lao San has been gone for quite a while. Did he reply to your letter or call you?"
Ma Xiu Lian was worried. The third son had to keep such a good daughter-in-law.
"Tokyo went on a mission and hasn't come back yet, but no news is also good news, don't worry, Mom."
Ma Xiulian nodded after listening to it. "You are right. When Shiye comes back, maybe you will join the army. Mom has always been looking forward to you giving birth to a grandson or granddaughter."
Cheng Yunan's face flushed a little, "Well... Mom, the baby will come when it's time, don't worry."
Ma Xiulian sighed. She knew this clearly, but she was just a little anxious.
After Cheng Yunan left Ma Xiulian's house, he no longer cared about the medicinal herbs.
As soon as she left, Ma Xiu Lian called Lu Jianguo into the house.
"Here! This was brought by the third son's wife." Ma Xiu Lian handed him the ginseng.
"This is..." Lu Jianguo opened the box and his eyes widened in shock.
He didn't sleep all night last night, and was thinking about going to buy medicine today and try his luck at the black market, but he didn't expect that his third brother's wife had already made preparations.
"This is medicine for your wife." Ma Xiulian continued to knock and said, "Second brother, this is the gift that Master Nan Nan gave her. She gave such a precious thing to me. Even my brothers and sisters are not as good as Nan Nan. You two must remember her kindness.
If I let you know that you are ungrateful, I will break your legs, do you understand?"
Lu Jianshe was also very moved. He never thought that Cheng Yunan was so righteous.
This is ginseng!
It is a real life saver at a critical moment.
Lu Jianguo's eyes were red as he assured, "Mom, don't worry. I will remember your kindness. In the future, if you ask me to do something, I will go to the mountain without hesitation."
"Well, it's not enough for you to remember it alone, your whole family has to remember it.
Look, Xiaohe's schooling and your wife's opportunities to make money are all thanks to Nannan's help.
Although the ginseng was given to you by Nan Nan, it is her own treasure and she got two hundred yuan from the government.
The price is not too little, and you and your wife must remember to pay it back!
Our family already owed the third brother a lot. Ever since he joined the army, he has been sending money home every month, from three or five yuan in the beginning to twenty yuan now, and he has never stopped.
Our big house, the eldest son's marriage, your marriage, and the fourth son's education were all paid for by the third son's money.
To be honest, my parents felt they owed the third child something because they risked their lives to earn the money they gave him.
Second son! Mom knows that you have been under a lot of pressure these years. Your wife can't bear the thought of you being scolded by others. Since you love Xiao He and don't want to get divorced, let's live a good life.
Go back and explain to Li Hongmei that it is not unfair for you two to pay this money."
"Mom, I don't need you to say much to understand. It's true that the second brother is incompetent. Thanks to the help of the third brother, the family can live such a good life. Don't worry, I understand." Lu Jianguo, a grown man, shed tears.
"Well, I'm glad you understand. Go back, take care of yourself, and give mom a grandson as soon as possible."
Lu Jianguo took the ginseng back to the house and did not forget to tell Li Hongmei what his mother had said.
Li Hongmei was silent for a while, then there was a slap on the face.
The blow was severe, leaving five fingerprints on his face.
"Dad, I was blinded by greed a while ago. I will apologize to my sister-in-law when she comes back."
After saying this, he threw himself on the kang and started crying.
Lu Jianguo ignored her. It was better for her to cry. At least it would clear out the water in her head.
On Cheng Yunan's side, he asked Lu Zhenxing and Lu Jianshe to start delivering goods to the supply and marketing cooperative and the textile factory by ox cart.
At lunch time, workers in the textile factory all get off work and go to the canteen to get their meals.
As soon as he entered, an overbearing fragrance rushed into his nose. The workers, who were already hungry, began to salivate and swallow their saliva.
The person in the front row is Mr. Li, a mechanic at the textile factory. He comes from the provincial capital, and lives alone in the dormitory at the textile factory. He usually doesn’t go out and eats in the cafeteria.
When I have nothing to do, I like to have a drink or two, and the side dishes that go with the wine are my favorite.
At this moment, I could not move my feet after smelling this fragrance.
"Speaking of which, Old Chen, did our cafeteria make something delicious today? Why does it smell so good?"
Old Chen naturally knew Master Li. After all, he was often the first to arrive and the last to leave, and he liked to have a drink with him when he had nothing to do.
"Hey! Master Li, you have a really sharp nose. Look, those are the new braised chicken and smoked chicken that we just put on the market today. The braised chicken can be either one or half a chicken, and it also comes with broth. I heard that Ganoderma lucidum is also put in the broth to replenish qi and nourish the kidneys.
As for the smoked chicken, it tastes very tempting, it's all cooked in the same pot, and it also has a spicy flavor. How about I cut off half of each for you to try."
"Oh my! That's the taste. Give me half a spicy smoked chicken first."
As for the side dishes, half a piece of meat is enough.
Master Li couldn't wait to taste it after seeing the color.
After ordering, I asked Chentou to cut the food into pieces. After it was served on the table, he took out a small wine bottle of 200 grams from his pocket.
He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The spicy and fresh taste instantly exploded in his mouth, and Master Li took a sip of wine happily.
Mmm! A perfect match.
Master Li looked very happy.
Colleagues who came over later rubbed their hands as they saw Master Li’s intoxicated expression.
The taste is so delicious that I can't resist it.
