Farming and reading family

Although Yang Jizong was not good at other things, he knew these mountain products well. Whenever there was a slack season during the farming season, he would go into the mountains and sell the collected mountain products to increase his family income.

"That's right." Yang realized, "Dad went into the mountains to collect a lot of ginger before. I don't know if there's any left now."

"Of course there are." Yang Jizong became excited. "Now is the time to pick them."

Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll discuss it with my second brother's wife and see what she says."

Yang Jizong nodded. He knew that this cave belonged to the second son's wife of the Chen family.

Gao E naturally supported Yang's proposal after hearing it: "This is a good thing, but won't it make Father Yang too hard?"

"My father is happy to do this." Yang said happily.

As long as her father is useful, she doesn't have to be so humble in the Chen family.

Gao E nodded and said, "This is urgent. Go find my eldest brother and ask him to take two people and Old Man Yang into the mountains. The wind is strong today, so be careful."

"Oh." Yang agreed and went out.

Gao E thought about it and called Lu Hao over.

"Sister Gao, what instructions do you have for me?" Lu Hao knew it must be about running errands.

"Ride your horse to He County and buy ten kilograms of brown sugar, five kilograms of red dates and twenty kilograms of green onions." Gao E said as she gave him some change.

"Okay." Lu Hao took the silver and left.

Not only did Peng Can have a fever, but the strong wind last night also caused some people in the village to cough.

Doctor Sun said that a cold could be cured by boiling ginger soup to induce sweating, but even the Chen family had no ginger left, so they could only drink more honey water and sit around the fire to avoid the wind.

Zheng Fengan was afraid of late spring cold from the beginning, so he didn't dare to start spring sowing too early. This strong wind was already a blessing in disguise.

Seeing the appearance of the villagers, he had no choice but to go find Gao E.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zheng. Big brother and the others are going to pick ginger. I have also asked someone to buy some green onions. Once they come back, we will cook them immediately for everyone in the village to drink." Gao E promised.

Zheng Fengan nodded and sighed: "You have always been thinking about them. Some people just don't know what is good for them."

"Speaking of this, I just happen to have something to say to Uncle Zheng." Gao E said suddenly.

"You said."

"I am a person who will be unfaithful once and will never be used again. I will not allow those who have left the village collective to rejoin the village collective, nor will I provide them with any help. Uncle Zheng, please don't make things difficult for me when the time comes." Gao E reminded.

Zheng Fengan hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"I know Uncle Zheng is related to some of them. If they really encounter a life-or-death situation, I won't stand idly by. But they can't use our Chen family's things."

Zheng Fengan smiled bitterly and nodded: "It should be."

Zheng Fengan didn't think Gao was heartless. She had no friendship with those people, and yet those people betrayed her.

I can only hope that they have a smooth life as long-term workers outside and don't cause trouble for others when they come back.

At dusk, Chen Qing and his friends brought back three baskets of ginger, added the green onions and brown sugar that Lu Hao had bought, and cooked a big pot of ginger soup. Everyone in the village drank a bowl.

After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, they felt warm all over and instantly felt that it was a wise move to stay in Baotou Village, otherwise who would care about them at this time.

The people in Batou Village have been eating well recently and are in much better health than before. Colds and flu are not serious illnesses for them as long as they are treated in time.

It’s hard to say if you encounter someone who is weak and procrastinates.

Once there is a problem with the lungs, even if it is cured, the root of the disease will remain.

Gao E was weighing the medicinal materials with a small scale, and she put the Lianhua Qingwen in packets.

"When did my second sister-in-law learn medicine?" Lei helped.

"It's not some medical skill, I just found a prescription in a book." Gao E evaded the question, "It's better to be prepared."

"My second sister-in-law thinks of everything." Lei now feels that her second sister-in-law is omnipotent.

Gao E smiled.

The villagers drink a bowl of ginger soup every day. No one coughs during the two days of strong winds, but when the wind stops, they go back to their normal business.

It was just that those who had left the village before noon came back in a mess, leaning on branches and supporting each other.

The villagers didn't want to pay any attention to them at first, but seeing that they were all pale and kept coughing, not sure whether they had a cold or typhoid fever, they surrounded them and didn't let them get close to the cave.

"Uncle, uncle..." But after a few days, Zheng Wang's face turned pale and he looked like a monster. He collapsed to the ground while shouting.

Zheng Fengan came over and saw this situation and immediately became alert: "Everyone, don't get close to them. Please ask Doctor Sun to come and see what's going on with them."

Zheng Wang was in good health when he left Baotou Village. Now not only he is sick, but everyone he traveled with is also sick, proving that the disease may be contagious.

This made Zheng Fengan think of a terrible possibility: plague.

Although there has never been a plague in Baotou Village, I have heard people say since I was a child how terrible the plague is. In serious cases, everyone in the city can die.

When everyone saw how nervous the head of the village was, they immediately moved a little further away from Zheng Wang and the others.

"Uncle, I am also a descendant of the Zheng family. You can't just stand by and watch me die." Zheng Wang was a little desperate.

"Let me ask you, whose family are you working as a farmhand for? How many farmhands there are sick?" Zheng Fengan said with a serious face.

Zheng Wang is indeed a member of the Zheng family, but Zheng Fengan would never let him come back with the disease to harm the village.

Zheng Wang lowered his head and dared not speak.

In fact, when his whole family fell ill, he thought it was an epidemic. The employer gave them a few copper coins and drove them out. The money they had was not enough to afford the doctor, so they came back.

Zheng Fengan saw his expression and knew that things were not that simple: "Everyone, cover your mouth and nose and stay away from them."

Everyone immediately covered their mouths and stepped back.

"Uncle?" Zheng Wang regretted it so much now, but it was too late.

"You also retreat to the sand dam at the entrance of the village, otherwise don't blame us for being rude." Zheng Fengan threatened.

Seeing that the headman showed no mercy, the group had no choice but to retreat to the sand dam at the entrance of the village.

The person who went to call Doctor Sun had already given him a general idea. Doctor Sun felt a pang in his heart and covered his mouth and nose with a cloth when he came over.

As doctors, they understand the epidemic and its severity better than ordinary people.

"Doctor Sun is here." Someone called out and the rest of the people immediately made way.

Zheng Fengan looked at Doctor Sun and said, "Doctor Sun, please be careful."

Doctor Sun nodded and covered the wound tightly with the cloth. "If it's really an epidemic, the village absolutely cannot keep them."

Zheng Fengan nodded hesitantly.

Doctor Sun then went over and saw that everyone in the group looked sick. He was basically certain that it was an epidemic, but he still took Zheng Wang and the others' pulses.

"How is Uncle Sun?" Zheng Wang looked at Doctor Sun with hope.

Doctor Sun shook his head and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he was held hostage by Zheng Wang.

Zheng Fengan was startled by Zheng Wang's actions: "Zheng Wang, what do you want?"

"Heal me! Heal my son!" Zheng Wang threatened. "I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
