Chapter 391 Chapter 392: Entering the City
After the two men filtered the honey, they killed the rabbits and pheasants. Then Zhou Yiding took the old honey and said goodbye to go home.
After Zhou Huaian sent him out, he locked the gate and went back to the house. "Yan'er, there are 60 to 70 kilograms of yam. I'll keep about 10 kilograms of yam and two pheasants at home. Tomorrow you can call Grandpa and the others to come and eat together."
Yang Chunyan looked up and said, "I want to go to Ning'an with you, and take cousin Haili to the hospital. Tell mom when you get the food tomorrow morning."
Zhou Huaian frowned and looked at her, "What's wrong? Is your concussion not healed yet?"
Yang Chunyan shook her head, "No, it's another disease, take her to get checked out."
Seeing that she didn't say anything or ask, Zhou Huaian said, "I'll keep the ones that are straighter and send the others to Ning An."
Yang Chunyan nodded and said, "We also cut some hemp and will send it over tomorrow."
"Yes!" Zhou Huaian picked the yam, went to the kitchen to get hot water, and went to the bathroom.
Yang Chunyan asked her mother to go to bed first. She went back to the room, closed the curtains, took out four bamboo sticks from the box, and a ball of wool. She went to bed and started knitting a sweater for the child.
After weaving a few rounds, Zhou Huaian came back and asked, "How many wild flowers are there on the mountain?"
Zhou Huaian closed the door, "There are also sticky grass, wild chrysanthemums, and a lot of wild cotton. I also saw some wild ginger blooming in the woods."
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "The roots of wild ginger and wild cotton are also medicinal, but they can only be harvested in spring and autumn. The young shoots of wild ginger taste similar to stir-fried pork with green peppers and stir-fried pork with young ginger. Let's go dig some tomorrow afternoon and stir-fry them, and pick some cotton to make pillow cores."
She swallowed as she spoke, feeling that she had become particularly greedy since she became pregnant, and her mouth began to water at the thought of delicious food.
"Yes, there is a huge area!" Zhou Huaian put the towel on the back of the chair and climbed onto the bed. "I am so tired. My legs are sore."
"Go buy some bones tomorrow and make some soup." Yang Chunyan looked at him, "Is your hair dry?"
"Done!" Zhou Huaian lay on his back and pulled her, "Yan'er, go to sleep, stop knitting."
"You go to sleep first. I'll sleep after I finish knitting this circle."
After Yang Chunyan finished knitting the circle, she turned around and saw that he had fallen asleep and was snoring. It seemed that he was really tired.
The next morning, Yang Chunyan and her partner got up, took their scarves and straw mats, and drove the tractor out.
It was dark outside and foggy. When Zhou Huaian was about to reach the bend in the field road, he saw the old couple and Luo Haili standing on the road waiting.
Zhou Huaian slowed down, drove to the rear and jumped off the tractor, "Old man, wait for me to open the compartment door."
"Yes." Father Zhou stepped forward to help unload the rear cargo box.
Mother Zhou looked at Yang Chunyan and said, "It's cold this morning. It's not convenient for you to wear something thick now. Don't catch a cold."
Yang Chunyan smiled and lifted her clothes, "I'm wearing a padded jacket." The tractor was making a rumbling sound, and she had to speak loudly so that the other party could hear her clearly.
"That's good!" Zhou's mother picked up the basket, "There are eggs in it, as well as the goose eggs and salted duck eggs that Huang ordered." She handed over the list, "Take the list with you."
"Okay!" Yang Chunyan and the others carried the eggs, chickens and ducks over and put them in the truck bed. "Cousin, I put a straw mat in the truck bed. It's windy this morning, so you can sit against the board. Put on your scarf."
Luo Haili nodded gratefully, "Okay, thank you for your help."
She thought about her own illnesses and how thanks to her aunt she didn't despise her and was willing to give money to her for treatment. She would never be able to repay their kindness in this lifetime.
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "It's okay, hurry up and sit down."
Zhou's mother also said: "Just relax, curing the disease is better than anything else."
"Yeah!" Luo Haili climbed onto the tractor and wrapped her head with Zhou's mother's scarf.
Yang Chunyan said to Zhou's mother, "Huaian and Yiding hunted some pheasants yesterday and also dug up some yams. You don't have to cook lunch at noon. Come to my house with Grandpa to eat."
Zhou's mother nodded, "Yes! Have you cooked the Jerusalem artichokes and fed them to the pigs?"
Yang Chunyan: "Hey, it's delicious. I want to get some more."
"Yes." Mother Zhou thought for a moment, "There is some under the pond over the mountain temple. After we finish digging on the hillside today, we can go there to dig."
Father Zhou closed the compartment door and came over. "Okay, we'll talk about it when they come back."
"Well!" Zhou's mother moved to the side of the road, "Drive slowly on the road!"
"Got it!" Zhou Huaian pulled the handbrake and the tractor drove forward.
Mother Zhou watched them walk away and said to Father Zhou, "Go back!"
Father Zhou gave her the flashlight and said, "You go back. I'll go to the boss's place to help build the fence."
"It's a hard life!" Zhou's mother walked back with a flashlight.
…
Zhou Huaian and his companions arrived in Ning'an. It was the first time for Luo Haili to go to the city since she was a child. She sat in the tractor, stretched her neck and looked curiously at the passers-by on the street.
Yang Chunyan said, "Huai'an, look, we are all wearing padded jackets, but people in the city are still wearing short sleeves."
Zhou Huaian said with a smile: "Otherwise, why do people say that our mountain has four seasons and the weather is different every ten miles!"
The tractor turned left and drove towards the guesthouse. After entering the courtyard, Zhou Huaian took the bamboo basket filled with onions, coriander, garlic sprouts, green vegetables, spinach, and a new variety of green celery and round-root radishes that had just been grown off the tractor.
Huang Yongcai came out of the kitchen, "Youngest brother, you came early today!"
"The tractor is faster." Zhou Huaian handed him a cigarette and lit it, then pointed at the bamboo basket, "Brother Huang, we have four hares and a pheasant today."
Huang Yongcai took a look and said, "Send them all to Douhuazhuang." Then he said, "You have a lot of geese at home, do you want to sell them?"
Zhou Huaian thought for a moment and looked at Yang Chunyan, "Do you know?"
Yang Chunyan nodded, "I have five big geese at home. Brother Huang, there are many families raising geese in the village. You can take a few back and ask my mother to collect them."
Huang Yongcai: "Send three to Douhuazhuang tomorrow."
"Yes!" Zhou Huaian followed him to the scale to settle the bill, and then went to Douhua Shop to deliver the goods. The four fat rabbits weighed sixteen pounds after being weighed, plus a three-pound pheasant, and they were sold for a total of twenty yuan.
The three of them arrived at the intersection of North Street and Zhou Huaian parked the tractor. "You two take the light stuff, and I'll carry the yam and hemp."
"Yes!" Yang Chunyan handed a wooden bucket of honey to Luo Haili, "Cousin, let's go."
"Oh!" Luo Haili followed her nervously, afraid that she would get lost.
The three of them arrived at Desheng Hall and saw Doctor Wang taking a patient's pulse, Wang Zhen dispensing medicine, and two other patients waiting on the side.
Zhou Huaian said to Yang Chunyan, "Cousin, should we ask Dr. Wang to see us first or go to the hospital first?"
Yang Chunyan thought it would be better to do a gynecological examination first, so she said, "I'll take her to the hospital for a checkup first, and then ask Doctor Wang to see her."
Zhou Huaian: "Yes, let's send the things in. I'll wait here for Doctor Wang to weigh them. You guys go see the doctor first."
