When Xia Yang heard Xia Tian asking where they would live after the family split up, his face, which had calmed down, became angry again.
"Live in the old house."
Xia Tian searched his memory and found that the place was close to the mountain and was basically outside the village.
In the past, it was unsafe because animals from the mountains often came down from there, so they moved to the village where the Xia family lives now.
Although animals don't come here often now, the houses there have collapsed long ago, leaving only the walls and not even the roofs.
"How can people live there? There's not even a roof." Xia Tian couldn't help but want to curse again.
This old lady Xia and her family are really constantly pushing her boundaries.
"We separated yesterday and spent the night in here. I was so nauseous that I couldn't sleep the whole night."
Xia Yang felt heartbroken when he thought about how Mrs. Xia and the other two families looked so eager to get them out after the family split up yesterday.
The old house had not been cleaned up and was not habitable at all. I thought of staying there for a few days, but Old Lady Xia disagreed.
They had no choice but to pack up the things in their house, borrow a cart, lift his father onto the cart, and the others took their things and went to the old house.
Today I plan to go to the clinic to get some medicine for his father, and then put up the roof when I get back, otherwise it will be even more disastrous if it rains.
She really didn't expect that the second wife's life would not be the worst, but even worse.
Now she didn't know whether she should be glad that they sold her out, or should she sympathize with her father's misfortune?
"well……"
Xia Tian sighed. She didn't want to curse anymore. What's the point of cursing a weirdo like Old Lady Xia?
Better ignore her!
Xia Tian thought about it and realized that it was a blessing for their second branch to be able to get rid of such people.
Good days are yet to come!
There is no need to worry about his father Xia Zhengan. She has a spiritual spring and can secretly use some of it. It will definitely be in good condition.
He continued to ask Xia Yang, "Brother, did you get the medicine just now?"
"There wasn't enough money, so we didn't catch him." Xia Yang said in a low voice.
"How much more is left?"
"I only have four hundred coins in my hand, and I still need eight hundred coins. This is only for seven days of medicine."
"Don't you have two taels of silver?"
"I took Dad to the doctor the day before yesterday, and the medicine he took for three days cost more than one or two taels."
It’s so expensive to see a doctor!
"Brother, I have some money here. Let's go get some medicine for Dad first."
Hearing Xia Tian say that she added money, Xia Yang became anxious, "How can I ask for your money? It's not easy for you to earn money by setting up a stall. I just came to see you today and tell you about our separation. Don't worry about it. I'll find a way to deal with the money when I get back."
"What can you think of? Don't hesitate, let's go." Xia Tian pulled Xia Yang's sleeve, "He is also my father. If you feel embarrassed, just think of it as a loan from me. You can pay me back when you make money in the future."
Xia Yang couldn't resist her and agreed.
Promise her, "I will definitely return this money to you."
"Okay, okay, got it!"
Xia Yang helped her carry the load, and the two of them went to the clinic to get the medicine first.
She took the opportunity to ask the doctor if her father's condition could be completely cured.
The doctor said that as long as you cooperate with the treatment, you can be cured.
She felt relieved, as long as she wouldn't collapse on the kang!
After coming out of the clinic, Xia Yang carried the medicine on his shoulder and followed Xia Tian to two meat stalls to pick up pig heads, pig intestines and other things.
In the summer, I went to the grain store and bought ten kilograms of rice. When I passed by the tofu stall, I picked up the dried tofu I had ordered.
The two began to walk back.
On the way, she told Xia Yang about her stall business these days.
Xia Yang then realized that Si Ya was selling braised meat at a stall in the town, and her business was indeed good.
They talked all the way and when they reached a fork in the road, Xia Tian told Xia Yang that she would go back tomorrow to take a look and bring back two large bones and a piece of pork liver given by the butcher.
He took out another five hundred coins and stuffed them into his pocket, asking him to clean up the house first, so that it could at least be habitable temporarily!
Xia Yang took the money and stood silently at the intersection until Xia Tian disappeared. Then he wiped his face and walked home.
He knew that they now owed Si Ya more and more, and they could only make up for it by making good money in the future.
Xia Tian arrived home and quickly prepared the meal. After eating, she quickly took out the pig's head and large intestine and braised them. She secretly kept five pieces of the other wild boar meat in the space, and asked Mu Feng to chop the rest, and Shen Nian helped, and they were all stuffed into sausages.
Seeing that the wild boar meat was almost dried, the meat and the stuffed intestines were taken to the backyard. Chen Nian and Mu Feng helped to set up the rack, hung the meat and intestines on it, piled cypress branches underneath, and added tea leaves, sugar, rice and other ingredients as smoking materials. They lit it, covered it with a large piece of oilcloth, and began to smoke the meat.
Because the weather is getting warmer, we are afraid that the meat will go bad easily, so we don’t take long for marinating and drying it. Therefore, we smoke it for a little longer.
This is also good for preservation!
After the smoked meat was cooked, she fried a plate of smoked meat with garlic sprouts for dinner. Its unique aroma was praised by both Shen Nian and Mu Feng!
When Mu Feng heard Xia Tian say that such meat could be preserved for more than half a year without spoiling, his eyes lit up.
"Master, this meat can be promoted in the army. It doesn't spoil easily, is easy to carry, and has a salty taste. When we go to war, everyone can just bring a piece without even bringing salt."
"Yeah, that's true!" Shen Nian nodded in agreement.
Listening to their conversation, Xia Tian felt like laughing. With the productivity in ancient times, people could not even get enough to eat, and yet everyone was given a piece of smoked meat to take away.
What are you thinking about?
Just as she finished her inner complaints, she heard Mu Feng sigh and say, "What a pity! The army often doesn't even have enough food, so how can we bring them meat?"
