The next day, when Zhang Man'er woke up, the Kang was empty, and there was no trace of Xue Chuan.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the bright sunshine outside. There was a fresh smell in the air. She breathed and saw that her clothes were in good condition. She went down to the Kang, opened the wardrobe and changed into a very new Luo skirt.
In the yard, Xue Chuan is digging with a hoe.
Yes, she said yesterday that in the yard near the east house, we can get a vegetable plot to grow some small dishes, which will be enough for the couple.
"Man'er, when you wake up, go wash and have breakfast." Xue Chuan wiped a sweat, looked up at her and said.
"Oh." Looking at his handsome face, Zhang Man'er can't help but restore the ambiguous scene of last night, with a red cloud rising from his face.
In order to cover up this embarrassment, Zhang Man'er ran into the kitchen and ate breakfast after washing.
After breakfast and dishwashing, she took out the cans.
It is also an arduous task to extract the venom from the five poisons. Put the pot on the stove of the decoction and bake it with fire.
As soon as the temperature rises, the poison in the original deep sleep, from struggling to suffocation, to death, when there is no movement in the jar.
Zhang Man'er found an inch long thick wooden stick and smashed the toads, spiders, snakes, centipedes and scorpions together. Then he took a piece of gauze to filter the juice.
Xue Chuan came in and said, "daughter in law, are you going to start refining medicine?"
"Well, it'll take a few days to refine, but it's more troublesome." Zhang Man'er covered the mouth of the jar with gauze, tied it tightly with a rope, tilted the jar with his hand, filtered the venom through the gauze and poured it into a porcelain bowl.
It was a dark bowl, but it was thick poison. She had to take three days to refine the medicine. She asked Xue Chuan to bury the poison residue in the soil. The jar didn't need to be cleaned, but it was directly filled with poison.
During this period, we should pay attention to the fact that our hands must not touch the venom, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
When Zhang Man'er poured the poison into the jar, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside.
It turned out that Xiaoshi was coming. He looked forward to them and said, "third uncle, aunt, I heard that you have bought a fishing net. Shall we go up the mountain later?"
The boy, if he doesn't come to remind them, they may forget about it.
Xue Chuan looked at his child's heart. There was a sense of excitement and curiosity in his black eyes, so he glanced at Zhang Man'er and asked, "look at this?"
Zhang Man'er put the jar of poisonous juice on the medicine stove: "the poisonous juice has to be refined for three days and three nights. First, burn the stove and keep the small fire burning. The charcoal has to be burning all the time and must not be put out."
Xue Chuan nodded and told Xiaoshi that he would wait for a while. He quickly raised the stove and added appropriate charcoal. He soon smelled a strange smell. It was very difficult to think of the strange smell in the kitchen these days.
After all this, he carried a basket and took fishing net, harpoon and other tools with him: "let's go."
Little stone saw the fishing net and said excitedly, "great, I've gone fishing."
When a group of three people went out, Xue Yang, a carpenter in the yard, wanted to keep up with him. Zhang Man'er politely refused: "no, three people are enough. Xue Yang, you can make your box quickly. It's in short supply."
Xue Yang scratched his head and gave a simple and honest smile. Every day, he was not only busy with his own work, but also had to go to master Ma's house to learn carpentry for a while. The time was so tight that he wanted to break an hour into two.
Zhang Man'er was considerate of him, so he naturally pursed his lips and said, "OK, third sister-in-law, I won't help you this time. I don't have to share the money this time."
If he didn't work, he couldn't make money. He understood the truth, so he said in advance, so that his third sister-in-law would not suffer losses, and he didn't like to take advantage of his family.
When the three of them nodded and walked away, Xue Yang lowered his head and continued to make a small wooden box, looking attentive and serious.
Seeing his figure, Xue Xue's mind moved. She tugged at his skirt and swayed to get close to him: "fourth brother, you are so busy recently, have you found a way to earn money?"
She said while holding a small bench to sit over, 14-year-old girl, dressed every day, although the family is poor, Xue Xue's clothes are not only not patched, but also the best.
She is wearing a pink dress, a black hair, a simple bun, oblique inserted a pearl hairpin, forehead air bangs, eyebrows bent, a pair of black eyes, with the girl's smart and a touch of calculation, small nose, scarlet lips, look carefully, Xue Xue Xue is indeed one of the few beauties in the village.
Xue Yang doesn't pay much attention to her and works hard. The younger sister is sent by his mother to find out about him. Is she afraid that he will save money?
He is filial, but he still needs to keep his private money. Otherwise, he will have to ask for something to buy and marry a daughter-in-law?
If he wants to marry someone he likes and has no money to give him a dowry, it will be embarrassing.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Xue Xue thoughtfully. The younger sister was staring at him. Her watery eyes wanted to say something?
She was thinking that their brothers and sisters, except the elder sister and the second brother, were all pretty good looking.
Look at the handsome appearance of the fourth brother. He works hard. His lines are smooth and his side face is charming. His hand is fast and neat. It's like making a handicraft.
Good looking and capable, no wonder that Wang Cui likes him so much?
Thinking of Wang Cui, she subconsciously touched the Pearl hairpin on her head. The soft pearl was shining in the sun, which set off her face. This is a gift from Wang Cui. It's really generous. Since she wants to please her future sister-in-law, she will accept it reluctantly. By the way, ask for it for her.
"By the way, fourth brother, what do you think about Wang Cui?"
As soon as Xue Xue opened her mouth, Xue Yang suddenly realized that his younger sister's purpose was to cover his words. He pretended to be stupid and asked, "Xue Xue, is your pearl hairpin really beautiful? I don't think it's cheap, do I? "
Being praised as beautiful by the fourth brother, she liked to hear this. She cocked her lips and said, "of course, it's from Wang Cui. Her family is so rich that she can't take advantage of the cheap."
"You have a good relationship? She gave you all these precious things, so you want to repay her and make your fourth brother accept this marriage you don't like? "
The purpose is so quickly seen through by Xue Yang, but also unconsciously by his set words, the four brothers are really smart.
