Great Northwest

First they received the 10 catties of fine grains sent by Gu Qinghuan, and Zhong Ziyan took 40 catties to Secretary Li's home, leaving the remaining 10 catties for Bai Jie to enjoy as she often coughed in her throat and was not in good health, so she could not eat anything too hard.

Of the 40 kilograms of food, 10 kilograms were exchanged for various coarse grains to be kept as food for the children, and the remaining 1 kilogram of fine grains were given to Secretary Li's family as a gift to thank them for their care and help.

I also gave her some hazelnuts, pine nuts, hazel mushrooms, pecans and other mountain products that my niece had sent me.

I was reluctant to give away the pheasants and rabbits, as they were rare delicacies, and I wanted to save them for Bai Jie to replenish her body.

Li Dacheng was happy to collect more than a pound of fine grains and mountain products. Although he had to ask the people to take care of them, he was happy that they were grateful, and he would be happy to help them again in the future.

Moreover, this is 15 kilograms of fine grain, which can be exchanged for 20 kilograms of coarse grain, enough for the whole family to eat for most of the month.

Not to mention the mountain products. The farmers in the northwest have never seen these mountain products in their lives. In their eyes, these are the best things.

I didn't know how to eat these pine nuts and hazelnuts, so I had to ask 깊 Zhong Ziyan to find out.

It's not that Zhong Ziyan didn't want to give gifts to others in the past, but his family was really poor and he didn't have anything worth giving.

There is not enough food to eat. I am already hungry, so how can I pretend to be fat?

This is great, with so much food, a military coat sent by my niece, and plenty of money for medicine.

This 늳꽭 is better than 깊. 놛 walks with a breeze and is full of energy.

Ever since Gu Qinghuan sent the food and medicine, Bai Jie has been able to eat meals that suit her appetite and also has specific medicines that are effective for her condition.

Her condition has improved visibly. Before, when she coughed, it seemed as if she was coughing up her entire lung, and sometimes there was blood in the cough.

Zhong Ziyan was worried that she had what the old people often called tuberculosis.

I didn't expect that after taking the medicine for a period of time, once I started to improve my nutrition, my condition miraculously improved.

In the past, she coughed constantly every night and would get up many times at night. Worried that Zhong Ziyan couldn't sleep well, Bai Jie always endured it. She couldn't sleep well, couldn't eat well, and had a lot of problems.

In recent nights, she has been able to sleep through the night without coughing.

It's just that Baiki coughs a few times when he feels cold.

And the complexion also became visibly rosy.

You know your own illness.

Bai Jie thought she could not survive this, and she had already secretly written a suicide note to her husband and daughter.

Unexpectedly, the special medicine my niece sent was so effective and had immediate results.

She now feels relaxed, has no cough or chest tightness or shortness of breath, works vigorously, and feels that she can live a long time.

The two people's spirits are very different.

However, there was one thing: there had been no news about Zhong Luoqing for a long time, and the couple could not help but feel a little worried.

-

Then Zhong Zijun returned home and told the old couple about the thrilling incident on the mountain.

Cheng Shuying directly called out "Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless her."

Zhong Weiqian slammed the table so hard that it made a loud bang.

"This is simply too much, I'm going to settle the score with you!"

A few days ago, Wang Quezi secretly pushed Zhong Zijun down the hillside. Zhong Weiqian didn't know the murderer at the time. Later, Gu Qinghuan avenged him and the matter was forgotten.

This time he wanted to completely destroy Zhong Zijun, and even take her life. This is intolerable.

The old couple of the Zhong family understand their daughter very well. She looks gentle and kind on weekdays, but she is stubborn in her bones.

If that fool really accomplished this today, Zhong Zijun would not be able to live, and even if he could just get by, he would not be happy.

She was such a strong-willed person, how could she endure such a horrible thing as being stripped naked and paraded through the streets.

Cheng Shuying quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't panic, sit down! Didn't you hear what the lady said? The man who saved her said he would find a way to deal with Wang Quezi.

Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Don't act rashly or you will be caught.

Besides, what can you, an old man with frail arms and legs, do? You are not even strong enough to punch someone. "

Zhong Weiqian blew his beard and glared in dissatisfaction. How could he be old? He was obviously still very young.

But what my wife said makes sense. If I do this out in the open, I will be the one who suffers. It would be better to do it secretly like Huanhuan did before.

There is no need to be aboveboard when dealing with such people.

After comforting the old man, Cheng Shuying took her daughter aside to ask about the details of what happened.

"We have really let them down this time. Although we don't expect anything in return, we can't really give them nothing in return. That would be too unkind.

Besides, they gave us some game for free, which is very kind of us." Cheng Shuying said thoughtfully.

"Your mother is right. You are a gentleman and we should not be ungrateful if we don't repay the favor. We should not be such a fool either. We have to repay the favor and can't wait for Huanhuan to handle everything." Zhong Weiqian stroked his beard and nodded in approval.

Zhong Zijun pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he wanted to give a return gift.

"I can make you a set of clothes as a return gift. Your cotton jacket is torn and has holes all over it. You can even see the cotton inside.

The grown man doesn't know how to do needlework. It seems like he hasn't worn new clothes for a long time.

It’s just a little embarrassing…”

Making clothes is a very private thing, and it is even more embarrassing to make clothes for a stranger.

Although Cheng Shuying was older, she was very open-minded. She made the decision directly: "That's it! Why are you embarrassed? It's embarrassing to have nothing to eat or wear. I am your lifesaver. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Didn't you say that 놛's father was also put in the clothes? Why not make them together, one for each of us? You can't let the father be naked and watch his son wearing new clothes. I don't think 놛 will feel happy wearing them.

The only things we have now are those few wild game sent by you, and some food. I think you should not be short of these things if you are busy like that.

Clothes are what you need, so let’s give them to you.”

Zhong Weiqian also agreed with his wife.

"Your mother has a point."

After hearing what his parents said, Zhong Zijun stopped worrying and did what he said.

It will take some time to make clothes for two people. I hope we can wear them now.

But she still needed to measure the size. She could roughly estimate Ji Linhai's size based on her eyesight, but she had never seen the old man before, so she had no idea where to start.

Gu Qinghuan sent me a lot of fabrics and cotton a while ago, which came in handy this time, so I didn't have to go out of my way to buy them.

Although the colors of these fabrics are dull and not eye-catching, you can tell that they are high-quality materials as soon as you touch them.

After dinner that night, when most of the lights in the village were turned off, Zhong Zijun took the flashlight given by her daughter and some measuring tools and quietly went out.

Zhong Weiqian wanted to accompany her, but the animals in the cowshed suddenly became manic, so he had to stay and watch.

Zhong Zijun could only go there by himself. Fortunately, it was only a ten-minute journey and he would be there in no time. He did not notice before that the man lived in the cowshed near Huanhuan's house.

Because of what happened, Zhong Zijun was trembling with fear all the way. After finally reaching her destination, she wanted to escape at the last minute.

It was really embarrassing to go to a man's house at this time of night and tell him that she wanted to make clothes for him and take his measurements. She was not a village aunt and could not do such a straightforward thing.

He paced hesitantly at the door for a long time, but didn't have the courage to knock.

Ji Linhai inside heard the voice and yelled, "Who is it?"

Zhong Zijun was frightened by the powerful voice and wanted to run away immediately.

A second later, the door opened.

Zhong Zijun stood there awkwardly, scratching his hands.

Ji Linhai realized in the dim moonlight that it was her.

"Big sister, why are you here? Is there something wrong? Come in and talk." Ji Linhai opened the door.

Zhong Zijun followed reluctantly and said in a low voice, "It's so late, I'm really sorry to bother you."

After thinking about it, she added: "White is too eye-catching..."

Ji Linhai said sympathetically: "I understand. Come in and sit down. The house is very messy. Please don't mind it."

Zhong Zijun took a quick glance and found that the house was not that shabby. Although it looked shabby on the outside, it was completely tidy inside and was quite clean.

The conditions in the countryside are like this, and there is nothing we can do about it. For two men, it is already pretty good to be able to live like this.

"Lin Hai, who is that?"

The voice of Master Ji came from the inner room.

Ji Linhai shouted: "It's Xiao Nizi's mother."

께妮子 is what people call Gu Qinghuan.

"Big sister, please sit down." Ji Linhai took out a stool he made by himself and wiped it with his sleeves before letting Zhong Zijun sit.

After a rustling sound, Master Ji came running over, neatly dressed, with a smile on his face.

"Oh my, what a rare guest! Please take a seat, you idiot! Go and pour some water for the guest."

Ji Linhai was not happy with his old father calling him a stinky boy in front of the guests, so he went to get some water.
