Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 57 Marry a fierce woman
"Nothing said."

Shen Zhao glanced at the white-haired doctor calmly, and was relieved to see that there was nothing unusual in his expression.

The old man didn't really want to pry into their conversation, so he asked, "Girl, can I have a look at your medicine box?"

Shen Zhao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Having said this, he stood up and went to the side room, took out everything in the medicine box that could not be shown to others, and then he brought it out and handed it to the doctor.

The doctor had served in the military and was experienced in suturing external injuries.

He was still shocked when he checked the surgical tools in the medicine box one by one.

Then he looked at Shen Zhao suspiciously: "Who did the girl learn how to sew wounds from?"

Seeing that he kept asking questions, Shen Zhao became alert: "I can sew clothes? Do I need to learn from someone else?"

Then he carried the medicine box back into the house.

Seeing that the girl had not come out for a long time, the doctor had to carry his medicine box and prepare to go back.

Zhang Shanyue picked up a piece of pork and stuffed it into his hands: "Please come here for a while. This is pork that was just slaughtered yesterday. Take it back and try it."

The doctor didn't say anything polite. He just gave a few instructions and left the yard.

Zhang Shanyue accompanied him all the way to the country road before returning, and on the way he met Aunt Hua who had left her hometown.

The two of them didn't speak when they met, and Aunt Hua even glanced at Bai Zhang Shanyue several times.

Zhang Shanyue was not to be outdone and went straight over.

The next day, the Qin family suddenly became lively, and even Uncle Qin did not go to the Shen family to work.

Shen Zhao was unaware of what was happening outside. After changing the medicine on his elder brother's hand, he bandaged it with a piece of clean gauze.

"A Zhao, I'm going to Wangsha Township to attend the market. I guess I'll be back later."

Shen Heng tied a large bag of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded shoes and cotton-padded pants onto the cart and told his sister, "Don't go anywhere. Wait until Daddy comes home before you decide on anything else."

Shen Zhao: "Got it. You should be careful too and don't get into conflicts with others outside."

She was afraid that someone would covet the goods brought by her second brother, and then a figure like Gao Yingwei would appear.

Shen De smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhao, we are here."

Shen Zhao nodded, went to the kitchen and picked out a dozen plump white steamed buns and a large jar of soybean milk porridge from the steamer. He carried them in a basket and put them on the ox cart:
"You can eat these on the way. There is a bowl and spoon in the basket, and the pickles are in a small jar."

Shen Dewang took one look at the steaming white buns and couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva: "Got it, let's go now."

So, a group of people came out of Shen's house in a mighty manner, some driving ox carts, some carrying loads.

Except for Shen Heng and his cousin who went to Wangsha Township, the other neighbors who were carrying loads on their shoulders all scattered.

Five neighboring families exchanged tofu from the Shen family, and then went to the surrounding villages to sell it, and their business was very good.

Each person can earn more than 100 yuan a day, which is equivalent to one or two stone of grain, which is much better than farming.

Their son bought winter clothes and cotton trousers on credit from the Shen family and earned more than them.

This was like a fortune from heaven, which made them dizzy. Everyone had more smiles on their faces and no longer beat their wives when they went home.

Of course, the wife also became more attentive to them, serving them tea and water every day, and no longer breaking pots and bowls when doing housework.

"Hey! Is Madam Shen at home?" A woman came in from outside the yard and looked around with a smile.

Zhang Shanyue came out of the kitchen and saw that the person who came was Ah Zhu's aunt Zhao Cui. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh! It's Madam Zhao. What can I do for you?"

"Is it okay if I can't come to see you?"

Zhao Cui took Zhang Shanyue's arm in a familiar manner and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you something. The young man from the Qin family is getting engaged today. Who do you think it is?"

Zhang Shanyue brushed her hand aside without leaving a trace and asked, "Who?"

"Hehe, it's the shrew who can't get married from the Gao family in Yulixiang." Zhao Cui covered her mouth and chuckled.

Zhang Shanyue was confused: "Which fierce woman in the Gao family?"

She was not familiar with Yulixiang, so how could she know about the fierce woman from the Gao family?
"I know you don't know." Zhao Cui said proudly, "My mother's family is a neighbor of the Gao family. That girl has been extraordinary since she was a child."

Zhang Shanyue raised an eyebrow: "How come he is not a mortal?"

"How cunning and fierce!" Zhao Cui said in a low voice:

"I also know that this woman had been married before. She beat her husband up after only a few days at her husband's house and was driven back to her parents' home."

"The Gao family's second branch only had this one daughter. After selling everything they had to compensate their in-laws, they finally settled the matter."

Zhao Cui secretly glanced in the direction of Shen Zhao and said with a smile: "This time she is promised to the young man from the Qin family. I wonder how much dowry the Gao family will give?"

Zhang Shanyue smiled and said, "That's a good match."

"Of course!" Zhao Cui covered her mouth and laughed, "I bet she will cause trouble a few days after she gets married. Madam Shen, do you dare to bet?"

Zhang Shanyue: "What does the Qin family's business have to do with me? I'm just betting on this because I have nothing better to do."

As he said this, he rinsed the millstone with water, and then ground some wheat flour after it dried.

Zhao Cui came over, touched the millstone and exclaimed: "Madam Shen, your millstone is really good. I'll get some grain to grind it later."

Zhang Shanyue couldn't refuse, so he nodded: "Okay, but this millstone is quite heavy, I can't move it alone."

Zhao Cui smiled and said, "My boy is strong, we can ask him to come and help later."

Zhang Shanyue said nothing and simply stopped washing the millstone. He took a basket and picked up the discarded small pieces of wood of various shapes on the ground.

These are the scraps that Uncle Qin sawed off. They are great for burning stoves.

"Huh? What interesting wood! Give me some. My little one will definitely like it."

Zhao Cui picked up one or two pieces and looked at them in her hand.

Zhang Shanyue was helpless: "Pick it up, but it has burrs on it, don't hurt the child."

"It's okay. My little one is very tough and is not afraid of being poked."

After saying that, Zhao Cui started to pick up the pieces of wood. When she couldn't hold them in her hands, she held them in her skirt.

Zhang Shanyue tried to hold back, but couldn't help but say, "Madam Zhao, your child can't play so many games, right?"

It was the first time she met neighbors who didn't treat her as an outsider.

After hearing what she said, Zhao Cui restrained her desire to pick up the things and smiled at Zhang Shanyue:

"Thank you very much! I will go back and get the grain to grind."

Zhang Shanyue: …

"Mother, come and have dinner." Shen Zhao served three bowls of soy milk porridge and cut a plate of pickled vegetables and placed them on the low table.

Then he placed a few stools and asked his mother and eldest brother to sit down.

Shen Xun was wearing a black cotton coat and a pair of large flowered cotton trousers, and cotton slippers with cowhide soles. He touched the stool and said with a smile, "This four-legged support is quite good."

"This is called a bench, not a support." Shen Zhao explained and picked up the bowl to drink porridge.

The porridge made by adding white rice to soy milk is rich and delicious. Paired with soft steamed buns, you can drink two big bowls of it without any side dishes.

"Bench, yes, I remember it." Shen Xun picked up the spoon with his left hand, scooped the porridge and blew it to cool it down.

Shen Zhao took a bite of the steamed bun and tilted his head to look at his elder brother. Seeing that his elder brother had a rosy complexion and looked in good spirits, most of his worries disappeared.

"Brother, does your hand still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Actually it does hurt, especially at night.

Shen Xun glanced at his sister and said, "A Zhao, please teach me how to read after dinner. I don't recognize many of the words in the book on universal diagnosis and treatment."

"it is good."
