Farming and reading family

Gao E guessed the purpose of He Tangchun's visit, but she would not rush to tell him.

He Tangchun thought it was shameless to ask for the prescription for free, but he didn't know how much money to give, after all, this was related to the epidemic in He County.

If the epidemic in He County cannot be resolved, he may have to leave He County in disgrace like Ye Linchuan, or even worse, lose his official position.

"Now the county is plagued by epidemics. Madam Chen is a noble and virtuous woman. Could you provide a prescription?" He Tangchun said cautiously.

Gao E was embarrassed: "That was earned by my husband's hard work, and now my husband is not at home..."

"Mr. Chen is also a scholar. He will definitely not sit idly by and watch the people suffer." He Tangchun said hurriedly.

"My husband will definitely not sit by and watch the people suffer," Gao E was certain. "It's just that he has always been a lowly figure and his words carry little weight..."

"Don't worry, Madam Chen. Mr. Chen will be a role model for scholars in the county from now on. I don't think anyone will dare to say that his words are insignificant." He Tangchun promised.

He knew that Gao wanted to gain some benefits for Chen Ke, and as long as He Tangchun could give it to him, he would give it to him without hesitation.

In fact, Gao E didn't need to say anything. As long as Gao E was willing to come up with a prescription to solve the current epidemic, he would definitely reward her.

"Thank you so much, Master He." Gao E said without hesitation, "I'll go get the prescription right away."

He Tangchun was a little surprised that Gao agreed so easily?

He was becoming more and more confused about the Gao family. The things they bought were all junk, but they gave away the treasures so easily.

In fact, the last time Chang Zhinan came, Gao E wanted to give this prescription to Chang Zhinan, hoping to quickly end the epidemic in He County.

But the situation was urgent at the time, and she and Chang Zhinan were not familiar with each other. He might not believe it even if she gave him medicine, let alone a prescription.

Besides, He Tangchun was still ill. Even if she gave him a prescription, there would be no one to take charge of the situation, and the situation might become even more chaotic.

So she planned to wait, at least until He Tangchun recovered from his illness. Even if He Tangchun didn't come to see her, she would go to find He Tangchun.

After all, it was such a mess outside and she couldn't do anything.

After bringing the prescription, He Tangchun looked at it and bowed in thanks.

"Mrs. Chen is so righteous. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of He County." He Tangchun's thanks were sincere.

"Master He is so polite." Gao E returned the greeting. "There is one more thing I need your help with."

"Mrs. Chen, please speak."

"My parents-in-law now live in He County. There are many children at home and it is not convenient for us to take care of them. If it is convenient for Lord He, could you send someone to take care of them?" Gao E said directly.

Chen Qing, who was standing by, became excited when he heard his second brother's wife say this.

"Since they are Mr. Chen's parents, I have no choice but to serve them. Now the situation in Hexian County is critical, so I will take my leave first." He Tangchun was no longer polite.

"Oh, right." Gao E suddenly remembered the masks she made at home. "Master He, please wait a moment."

He Tangchun didn't know what Gao wanted to say next, so he stood in the yard waiting.

Gao E took out two masks and said: "Wearing this mask is not easy to get infected. It is best to give it to those who are infected to prevent infecting others. After using it for a day, boil it in boiling water for a while and let it dry before reuse. Do not share it with other people."

He Tangchun took one and put it on his face: "Can this prevent the spread of the disease?"

"It has some effect." Gao E didn't say too much.

"That's great." He Tangchun was pleasantly surprised. "I'll go back and ask someone to make some more."

"Remember not to mix them. Boil them in boiling water for a while after use." Gao E reminded again.

He Tangchun nodded: "Okay."

After seeing He Tangchun off, Gao E thought that the epidemic would soon be over.

Chen Qing came back and bowed deeply to Gao E.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Gao E was startled by Chen Qing.

"My second brother and his wife also miss our parents, and as the eldest brother, I am very pleased." Chen Qing was also grateful.

If he goes to take care of his parents, he will be betraying his wife and children.

If you stay at home to take care of your wife and children, you won’t be able to go to your parents to show your filial piety.

Now that Lord He has sent someone to look after his parents, it's a win-win solution, which makes him feel much better.

Gao E thought it was nothing serious. She didn't like the two elders of the Chen family, but she didn't want anything to happen to them.

Besides, if something really happened, the three brothers would feel so guilty, and she would become the villain who drove the two elders of the Chen family away.

"This is what I should do." Gao E didn't care.

Chen Qing sighed. If his mother and her three daughters-in-law hadn't gotten along so well, they wouldn't have come to this point.

After He Tangchun got the prescription, he immediately sent people to Qinzhou to buy medicinal materials. He also sent more people here to make masks for the sick to wear first.

If he can successfully overcome this epidemic, the Chen family will be his greatest benefactors.

Gao E quickly put the matter behind her and asked Uncle Zheng to send people to guard the village entrance, and then the villagers did what they should do.

In the past, this time of year was also the time when the village was in a period of transition. This year, apart from the living conditions which were a little unsatisfactory, everything else was better.

Those green sprouts that are a bit astringent taste surprisingly good after adding oil and salt.

Some of them are boiled in water and then soaked for a few days, which also has a unique flavor.

Gao E originally wanted to go to Toad Valley, but was delayed due to the epidemic.

Ten days later, there was a light rain and the crops were planted successfully. After clearing the fertile fields, they began to clear the slopes.

Gao E found some time to go to the river beach and take a look, preparing to plan her 120 acres of beach land. Even though the beach was quite far away from the diverted river, she planned to plant a row of trees in the middle to make this area more stable.

Governing a place like this is never a matter of a day or two, not to mention that there are not enough people now.

However, we need to dig a clam pond as soon as possible, and the cuming clams collected before cannot be kept at home forever.

That day, Yang was drying mushrooms, and Lei was sitting beside her with a envious look on her face.

"What's wrong? Didn't you have enough breakfast?" Yang made a rare joke.

"Do you think Second Sister-in-law has made us picky eaters? I wasn't this greedy even when I was pregnant." Lei whispered, "I want to eat braised pork, I want to eat grilled shrimp, I want to eat fish hair..."

Yang laughed. Before her second brother's wife moved in, their family had never eaten these. No wonder her third brother's wife was greedy.

"If I had known this, I would have caught more fish and picked up more shrimps. Instead of selling the wild boars, I would have smoked them all and stored them for myself." Lei drooled as she spoke.

"What are you two talking about?" Gao E came in from outside.

"Nothing." Lei said immediately.

"My third sister-in-law is greedy." Yang joked.

"You're greedy." Gao E glanced at Lei.

"Don't listen to what my sister-in-law says. I'm just thinking about it." Lei knew that there was no meat at home.

"It's not impossible." Gao E thought about it.

"What's there to eat?" Lei's eyes lit up.

"Bamboo shoot worms." Gao E said happily.

"Ah?" Lei's expression instantly shrank. "Can that thing be eaten?"

In the past few days, bamboo shoot worms have appeared in the bamboo shoots dug up by the villagers. Although they are relatively few, if you look carefully, there are enough to fill a plate.

"It's delicious." Gao E assured.
