Xiaoling said with some displeasure: "The two of them have become shirkers, leaving the child to me to raise, it's simply too irresponsible!"
Qibao laughed and coaxed: "Yes, yes, it's true that Bai Shuang and Bai Xue let our smart and cute Xiaoling watch over their children, it's really detestable, next time I'll bring them in, so you can teach them a good lesson!"
Xiaoling then cheered up and said: "Master, you said last time that you wanted to plant herbs, I've already planted several waves of them, do I need to keep planting them?"
Qibao said: "I want to grow some herbs and sell them!"
Xiaoling replied: "Master, can make them into pills and sell them, it's worth a lot more than herbs!"
Qibao said: "But I don't know how to make pill!"
Xiaoling replied: "I can teach you, the herbs planted in space are all considered to be herbs with spiritual Qi, and if you add some spiritual spring water, then the effect can't be compared to any pills outside!"
Qibao rubbed her chin and said: "Well, I don't have anything to do anyway, so I'll learn from you!"
Xiaoling said: "Then let's start with the simplest healing medicine. We need to use Corydalis, turmeric, turmeric, frankincense, Wulingzhi, Poria, etc. Mainly treats internal injury, blood stasis and Qi stagnation and pain syndrome."
Qibao listened attentively to Xiaoling, and after memorizing all the names of the medicines, she began practicing again, using the pressure cooker in the kitchen instead.
With Xiaoling instructing from the side, the moisture in the pressure cooker steamed dry, leaving only a black ointment inside, the color wasn't very pretty, but it didn't smell bad, and there was a hint of the fresh scent of medicinal herbs.
Xiaoling said: "Just pinch these ointments into pills and let them dry."
Qibao let the ointment cool down and started to pinch it. There were twenty-five pills in total in one pot.
Xiaoling said: "When Master becomes familiar with it, it will come out even more in a single pot!"
Qibao practiced several pots in space before she came out of space, collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, it was still raining lightly in the sky. The old man said with some worry: "I don't know what's going on with the greenhouse. No, I have to go take a look!"
Eldest Uncle Xu stopped: "Father, I'll go and check it out, it's raining and the roads are slippery, you'd better stay home and keep an eye on it, I'll go!"
After speaking, Uncle Xu picked up the coir raincoat hanging on the wall, put it on his body and ran outside.
When Uncle Xu arrived at the greenhouse, he saw a figure wearing a raincoat, bending down and tinkering with something. Uncle Xu took a closer look and said in surprise: "Chunsheng, why are you here?"
Xu Chunsheng smiled and said: "It rained on and off all night last night. I was a little worried about this area, so I came over to take a look. There was a lot of rainwater accumulated in some low-lying areas. I just cleared them all. Everything else is fine!"
Uncle Xu said with some emotion: "Thank you Chunsheng, it's raining so hard and you're still thinking about the greenhouse, you should go back quickly, your clothes are wet, don't freeze and catch a cold! Go back and let Auntie cook you a bowl of ginger soup, and come to my house for a meal with the village chief in the next couple days!"
Xu Chunsheng smiled and said: "Okay, my dad said last time that he wanted to have a drink with your old man! The things here have been dealt with, so I will go back first. You can go back too, it's still very cold outside!"
Xu Dabo finished talking to Chunsheng, looked at Chunsheng walking away, and looked at the greenhouse floor, there were indeed a few places where water had accumulated, and there was a newly dug gap next to it, where the rainwater flowed right through.
When Uncle Xu returned home, he took off his raincoat and hung it up. The old man asked: "Why are you back so soon? How is the greenhouse?"
Uncle Xu told what happened when he met Chunsheng.
The old man smiled and said: "Chunsheng is a good boy. He cares about our family's affairs. He is a good boy with a kind heart!"
Mrs. Wang also smiled and replied: "We have watched Chunsheng grow up, and he is very enthusiastic. The village chief's family are all good people, and the children he teaches will not be bad!"
The old man said: "When the wages are paid, you can pay Chunsheng more, and your efforts will be rewarded." Mrs. Wang agreed.
.........
The rain finally ended on the third day. The dirt road at the door was covered with mud, but luckily the sun came out in the morning.
Qibao is lazy to go out at this time, she also does not want to step on a foot of mud. She took out fruits from the space and sat in the courtyard while eating fruits and holding a book while reading. Xiaoba has been lying at Qibao's feet and watching Qibao eat, and Qibao also occasionally feeds a grape to Xiaoba.
Xiaoliu is also practicing calligraphy seriously with a brush. His handwriting is very good. Although Xiaoliu is usually a bit playful, he is still very serious about his work.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Ms. Zhang ran to open the door. Just as the village chief came with Chunsheng, Ms. Zhang quickly invited the people in.
She led the people into the hall, went and called for her father-in-law, and went and poured two cups of water and brought them over.
The old man greeted the village chief politely and asked: "Why are the village chief here today? Is there something wrong?"
The village chief replied: "The villagers came to me and asked if they could go to work now that the rain has stopped. It's hard for them to get paid without working! So I specially asked Chunsheng to come and ask, so I followed him!"
This is what the old man ordered. If the weather conditions prevent work, the wages will still be paid, which can be regarded as a welfare for the villagers.
The old man exclaimed: "I thought it was something! You've seen the roads in the village, you can't even drag the mud on your shoes when you walk a few steps, it's not convenient to work, and there's mud everywhere you step on."
The village chief also knew the situation and was helpless. He sighed. As long as it rains, it will be really troublesome for the villagers to go out.
The old man smiled and said: "But soon our path won't be like this!"
The village chief asked in confusion: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
The old man said: "After our family's decision, my family plans to spend money to build roads in the village. We will even build the dirt road to the town together."
The village chief stood up in a hurry, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "Brother, please don't lie to me, is it true?"
The old man replied: "You still don't know what kind of person I am? When have I ever deceived you? Everything I say is true!"
The village chief's hands were trembling a little, and he bowed deeply to the old man.
The old man quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Village Chief, what are you doing?"
The village chief's tone was trembling as he said: "I would like to thank your family for your generosity on behalf of the villagers!"
The old man said: "Don't say that, I made this decision for the convenience of my family in the future!"
The village chief said: "With your family's current conditions, it's no problem to buy a house in the town. Why do you spend so much money to build roads? Don't you care about the people in the village?"
The old man said: "I have been in Xujiacun all my life. Even if I die in the future, I will be buried in Xujiacun. If I can do something for future generations while I am still alive, I will have no regrets in my life!"
At this time, Xu Chunsheng knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old man.
The old man didn't even react. When he did, he quickly grabbed Chunsheng and asked, "Chunsheng, what are you doing?"
