Chapter 131 Harvesting Cotton

Yingbao was right.

Since I have attracted so much attention from the world, people will definitely come to me for medical treatment in the future. If they all use the excuse of not having money, then why don’t I do it or not?

There is no way to save anyone and you are still in trouble.

“Well, you go home now. My family will be harvesting cotton tomorrow, so come and help with the work.”

The Jiang family’s cotton is basically mature and is currently being harvested.

Since they planted more this time, my parents were busy picking cotton every day, and even the rice was cooked by my second uncle, Yanru.

"Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow." Zhao Daqian was grateful and went home with his son in his arms.

At this time, the onlookers cheered and gathered around, wanting to buy the gourd.

“I’ll buy a small one and get good luck.”

“The big one, give me the big one, five guan will be five guan!”

“I liked it first, why are you grabbing it?”

Bringing a total of ten gourds, they were all quickly bought.

Jiang Quan smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, and asked Ying Bao to count the money together.

There is no way. Many people pay their bills with copper coins. If they are missing dozens of coins, it will be a big loss.

After selling the gourds, the township official who collected the market tax arrived.

He looked up and down the cherry tree, smiled and asked, "Did you really grow the gourd today?"

What Yingbao can do is pinch his nose to recognize it: "I planted it."

Xiangzhi asked again: "Are you coming to the next episode?"

Jiang Quan nodded quickly: "Come here, I still have some at home."

Xiangzhi: "When you come, leave a gourd for me. Don't worry, every penny will be yours."

Yingbao:…

Jiang Quan smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Okay, don't worry, I will leave the best one for you."

After coming back from the market, the children started to share the money.

Today, Li Dao and Li He only brought five gourds. Counting two gourds per gourd, that’s ten gourds.

It was agreed that 30% of the money would be given to Jiang Quan, so Li Dao and Li He finally got seven guans of money.

Five gourds earned seven guan, which was several guan more than what they earned by selling it. Li Dao and Li He simply smiled crookedly.

“I’ll bring all our gourds next episode,” Li Dao said excitedly.

His family also planted more than a dozen gourds and produced thirty or forty gourds of varying sizes. What they brought this time were just average ones.

Jiang Quan earned three extra points for nothing, and he was not unhappy. "Okay, let's go back to the next episode."

Li Dao and Li He happily went home with the copper coins, and Jiang Quan began to divide the accounts with Ying Bao.

The gourds at home were sold for a total of sixteen guan, two large and three small. Adding the three guan earned from Li Dao, the total was 19 guan.

So Jiang Quan gave his younger cousin nine and a half guan and a half, and he also took nine and a half guan and a half.

Ying Bao was not polite and took the nine and a half coins.

At noon, Jiang Sanlang and his wife, Jiang Erlang, Jiang Cheng, Dani and Ernie Chuchu came back from the cotton field for dinner.

Ying Bao picked two bunches of grapes, a dozen pears, and a basket of peaches, washed them and put them on the dining table for everyone to try.

The family ate fruit and sat around the table.

Today Yanru made fish stew, fried tofu, steamed glutinous rice and lotus root, vegetable soup, and boiled a few salted eggs.

In addition, rice was cooked, and the rice cakes were shoveled out and left as snacks for the children.

“Tomorrow I’ll ask a few people to help our family harvest cotton, and I’ll have to ask my second sister-in-law to help us cook.” Jiang Sanlang said as he pulled the rice. Yanru smiled and nodded: "What's the trouble? I have nothing to do at home, so I should cook."

Chun Niang: "There will be a lot of people eating tomorrow. Second sister-in-law, you will definitely not be able to handle the workload alone, so let Dani, Erni and Chuchu help you. There is no need for them in the cotton field anyway."

When picking cotton, you will inevitably get poked by the cotton feathers. The girl's arms are so delicate that even if she wears long sleeves, they will inevitably get poked. It hurts to look at them.

“That’s okay.” Yan Ru knew that Chun Niang cared about the girls, so she agreed.

The next day, Zhao Da came indeed, bringing his wife and son with him.

The little boy has regained consciousness, but is mentally weak and is being carried on his back by his mother.

Yingbao looked at the boy's legs and saw that most of the bruises had faded, so she gave him another potion to drink.

Instructed the boy's mother: "Give him some more water to drink and let him flush out the toxins in his body so that he can recover quickly."

The woman responded in a low voice and went to the water jar to scoop water for the boy to drink.

"We have boiled cold water on the table. You can pour it for him to drink." Yingbao said, "Drinking the boiled water will cause diarrhea."

“Oh.” Mrs. Zhao responded and went to pour cold water.

Jiang Sanlang already knew about Zhao Da's situation, so without saying anything, he took him and several villagers to the cotton fields to collect cotton.

“Yingbao! Yingbao! Mrs. Wen is back!” Erni jumped in from outside.

Ying Bao was pleasantly surprised: "You're really back? Is Sister Wen back?"

“He’s back too, go and have a look.” Erni was so excited.

Suddenly I remembered that I had forgotten most of the words I had learned, and I couldn't help but feel guilty, "Ying Bao... you go first, I will be there soon."

Yingbao quickly ran to the yard, put a leather saddle on Youyou, stepped on the mounting stone and mounted the deer's back.

Yoyou stepped forward and ran towards the village.

After a while, I arrived at the school and saw several carriages parked in the school yard, and servants were moving things down.

“Sister Wen!” Ying Bao got off the deer and ran towards Wen Shu.

Wen Shu was also very happy to see Ying Bao. He came over to hug her and smiled: "Ying Bao has grown taller."

Ying Bao stood on tiptoe and compared with Wen Shu, and said with a smile: "You have grown taller too."

Wen Shu took her to a pavilion and sat down, telling her about his affairs.

"I originally went to Fucheng with my mother-in-law, but something happened at home, so I had to rush from Fucheng to Yuzhou."

Yuzhou is thousands of miles away from here. Not to mention that the journey is long and difficult, and there are robbers on some mountain roads.

Fortunately, they hired a team of dozens of escorts and arrived in Yuzhou safely.

Yingbao didn't know how to answer the question for a moment and asked, "Why don't you see Mrs. Wen and Wen Hengyin?"

Wen Shu said: "My mother and my third aunt are cleaning up the house. My younger brother can't come this time. Grandpa asked him to stay in Yuzhou to study. I'm afraid I won't have time to come here in the future."

"Have your family's affairs been resolved?" Yingbao was still worried about the Wen family's house raids. In her last life, this was probably the time when something happened to the Wen family.

Wen Shu nodded, "Fortunately, nothing serious happened. My uncle was laid off from his job and returned to his hometown. He is now recuperating in his hometown in Yuzhou. My mother and I still came back here, but my third aunt also came with us."

Wen Shu had nothing to say. The third aunt had good intentions in order to compete with her mother for this trip to Qinchuan.

The **** family's golden fungus and snow fungus have remarkable effects. Something almost happened at home this time. Thanks to the golden fungus brought back by the parents, the urgent need was solved. Therefore, the third aunt strongly requested to come here. The purpose is obvious.

But how can I tell Yingbao these things by myself?

"Third Aunt also brought her two little daughters here. They will also go to school with us in the future." Wen Shu said softly: "They are eight years old this year. They should be more than three years older than you. One is named Wen Tian, ​​and the other is Their name is Wen Jiao, and they are twins."

Ying Bao: "Wen Tian? Wen Jiao?"

Why do you think this name is a bit weird?
