the farmer's old attack

Chapter 13

Shopkeeper Wu brought three oxcarts of medicinal materials over early in the morning. Tang Qing and Zhou Qing were busy moving the medicinal materials into the house, and poured hot tea for the driver before sending them away.

Looking at the medicinal materials that filled several rooms, including several precious medicinal materials, Tang Qing felt that shopkeeper Wu trusted him too much. Such precious medicinal materials were brought here as soon as they were asked to be brought.

"I forgot to tell Dad about this yesterday. Find out which children from the families need help." Tang Qing looked at the medicinal materials and then at Zhou Qing and said.

"The eldest sister's family only has two brothers and sisters, Zhang Dong and Zhang Lan. The second sister's family only has Liu Tai and Tian Tian. Then there are niece Zhou Su from the eldest cousin's family and nephew Zhou Chuan from the second cousin's family. They are not big, just Lan The girl is thirteen today, Tian Tian is five, and the others are around ten years old," Zhou Qing said while thinking back with a frown.

"Okay, let's invite them here." Tang Qing didn't ask any more questions. They were all his juniors. It was false to say that he came to help with work. It was true that he came to improve their food. At the end, he added: " Shanzi, Hezi, please come too, I'm afraid there won't be any wild vegetables to dig in the woods these days. "I can't help it. Every time I see these two boys alone, they are digging wild vegetables, thinking of a name for wild vegetables. The twins...

"The family didn't have much food before, so they wanted to dig more wild vegetables to supplement the food." Zhou Qing explained with a blush on his face after hearing what Tang Qing said.

"I know how many wild vegetables they dig every year." Tang Qing was curious.

"It's several hundred kilograms. Thanks to him, I could survive with wild vegetables and whole grains in winter in previous years." Zhou Qing said with red eyes, remembering what happened in previous years.

"Okay, now that I'm gone, I can make you live a good life no matter what." Tang Qing stepped forward, hugged Zhou Qing and comforted him.

Zhou Qing lay in Tang Qing's arms, feeling warm in his heart and feeling at ease inexplicably. He murmured: "I am living the best life now."

For Zhou Qing, having food, drink and clothing is considered a good life. , compared with before, it is like the sky and the earth. The days of gods are just like this. What surprised him even more was that Tang Qing liked him, didn't dislike him, and treated him well. Even though life was harder than before, he felt like he was living in a honeypot.

Tang Qing held Zhou Qing's back with both hands and patted it gently. The two of them just hugged each other, simple and warm.

"Brother, look what I brought you."

At this moment, Zhou He, who was carrying a basket, pushed in the door and saw the two people embracing each other affectionately in the room. He suddenly felt that he had done something wrong. What.

Tang Qing and Zhou Qing hurriedly let go of each other. Tang Qing straightened his clothes nervously and awkwardly, then took a deep breath and said, "What is that?"

"Oh oh oh, it's honey."

He came back to his senses . Zhou He who arrived immediately brought the basket up, took out a honeycomb from it, and said to Zhou Qing with excitement:

"I went to play in the small woods to the west today. I saw it with my second brother, haha, second brother. I also got a few big stings. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and ran fast, otherwise I would have been stung."

...

Tang Qing looked at Zhou He who looked excited, was he sure this wasn't a cheater? Well, the more he looked, the more he looked . The more stupid I feel.

"Why didn't Shanzi come over? Let me show him." Tang Qing poured a glass of water for Zhou He and put in some honey he brought.

"Ze, it tastes so delicious."

Zhou He took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp, still chattering as if he was savoring the aftertaste. The sugar at home is usually used when entertaining guests, and is rarely available. Wild honey like today is only available occasionally.

"You look greedy." Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Zhou Qing tapped his forehead with his index finger and asked, "How is the eldest brother? Is the sting serious?"

"The second brother was stung. Don't you be afraid of being embarrassed?" Dare to go out."

When Zhou Qing heard this, he felt relieved, thinking that it was probably not serious. If it were serious, he would have been anxious by now, and he could still let Zhou He smile here.

Tang Qing took out his treasure box and gave Zhou Shan some anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling medicine, and told him how to eat it. Then he put the bees brought by Zhou He into a jar and handed them to him.

"No, no, no, mother said we were naughty and asked me to bring it to my eldest brother. She didn't allow me to eat both of them. She said she wanted to teach us a lesson." Zhou He waved his hands and refused when Tang Qing handed over the jar, and his ears drooped when he spoke. Losing confidence, he spoke softer and quieter.

"Yeah, you two are so brave that you dare to poke that nest. If you poke a hornet's nest one day, it won't be as simple as picking up a few buds." After hearing what his brother said, Zhou Qing fully agreed with his mother's approach, so that these two The boy knows something powerful.

"Oh, I got it." Zhou He also realized his mistake and immediately calmed down, losing the excitement just now.

"Don't always forget about food and pain. Your eldest brother and your mother are doing this for your own good. You are lucky this time. Who can guarantee that you will have the same luck next time."

Tang Qing and Zhou Qing took turns to perform a game After preaching, Zhou Shan began to doubt who I am, where I am, and what I am doing in life. Zhou He, who couldn't resist his eldest brother and brother-in-law, had no choice but to make mistakes again and again.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Thinking that he had just escaped from his mother's claws and fell into the tiger's mouth, I really should never have come to my eldest brother, now Well, I got scolded twice in vain, but nothing happened. Thinking of his second brother lying on the bed, eating and drinking well, Zhou He thought to himself, it would be great if the person who got stung was me.

"Why are there so many weeds in the house?" Seeing that the two brothers were still spitting, Zhou He rolled his eyes and quickly glanced around the room, intending to divert the attention of the two brothers.

Tang Qing, who had just sat down to drink some water to moisten his throat, almost spit out the water in his mouth when he heard Zhou He's words. The medicinal materials in this house were actually treated as weeds by this boy. Even if they were sold to him, they would be worth more than the weeds.

"I told you not to be playful for a day and treat the medicinal materials as weeds. You really deserve it."

After hearing his brother's words, Zhou Qing was so angry that he wanted to rush in and beat him up. Even he recognized a few common medicinal materials. His younger brother knew how to do it . Don't know? Mom has been taking medicine for so many years, so she can recognize even a pig.

When Zhou He heard this, he immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground and burrow into it. His face burned red. He knew that he shouldn't speak, as he would get into trouble if he spoke. Hey, you have such a bitchy mouth, who asked you to speak? Zhou He felt so regretful.

"Brother, if nothing happens, I will go back and see my second brother first." Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou He began to rub oil on his feet, picked up the medicine Tang Qing had just prepared for Zhou Shan, and ran away like flying.

I ran a long way before I could breathe a sigh of relief. Today was a very unlucky day. I might even get scolded by my father tonight, for God's sake, who am I messing with?

"Mom, this is the medicine my brother-in-law gave my second brother." After returning home, Zhou He honestly handed the medicine to Wang Xi'er, and then went into the house to look at Zhou Shan, whose face was covered with bruises as he was stared at.

Suddenly a trace of guilt flashed through my heart. If I had not run away but saved my second brother, would my second brother not have been stung?

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Zhou Shan, who was in pain in bed, was stunned when he heard Zhou He's inexplicable apology.

"What are you sorry for?"

"I shouldn't have run away by myself." Zhou He said coquettishly.

"If you don't run away, are you waiting to be stung like me?" Zhou Shan was both amused and angry at this stupid brother.

"That's right."

Zhou He scratched his head, why was he so stupid? They were both born to the same mother, and his brains were different from those of his brother.

"You two idiots, what are you mumbling about? Are you going to do something bad behind my back again?" Wang Xier came in holding the medicine bowl and heard the two brothers mumbling and discussing something.

Only he knows what he has produced. The elder of the two children is too shrewd, and the younger one is too honest. Why can't the two of them be balanced?

"No, mother." The two brothers replied in unison.

"No? I don't believe it. You two didn't go to the house for three days together. I don't believe this evil. Last time, who came to the door of Aunt Zhang's house to urinate, and even took Zhou Hao and the others to steal sweet potatoes? You guys My mother knows all about the bad things she did."

Wang Xier did not look at the faces of the two brothers, but told them all the good things they had done in the past few months, and then told Zheng Zheng. Zhou Shan, who was applying the medicine, said: "Especially you, you have so many evil ideas. I see your brother is so honest, but you have led him astray. You don't do much to teach your brother how to be clever. Now he is getting more and more clever." You're stupid."

Before Wang Xi'er finished speaking, she heard Zhou He hiding and laughing secretly.

"Why are you laughing? You are the same. If you don't learn from your good skills and follow your brother, you can tell me why I gave birth to such a fool like you."

"Si~Mother, you are hurting me." Wang Xier said more and more. He became more and more angry, and the strength in his hands unconsciously increased a bit. This caused Zhou Shan to shout in pain.

"You know it hurts. Didn't you know you would get stung when you poked the honeycomb?"

Wang Xi'er couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her son was in pain. But if I don't teach him a lesson today, I don't know what else he will do.

Seeing that Wang Xi'er's anger had not subsided, Zhou Shan winked at Zhou He. Zhou He gave a reassuring look and stepped forward to pull his mother's sleeve.

"Mom, my eldest brother and brother-in-law just said something to me, so please don't say it again. I know that mother is also doing it for our own good. I promise I won't do it again next time, okay."

"You did the same thing last time. Mom promised. "

...

This is a bit embarrassing. Zhou He's hand fell in the air, and he didn't want to hold it back.

Seeing that his younger brother didn't say anything, Zhou Shan had no choice but to take action himself: "Ahem, mother, it hurts so much. Can you wait and then teach me a lesson?"

The two brothers had been flirting with each other, and Wang Xi'er had long since taken it to heart. Can she not know what this kid is planning? "Don't think I can't see the little tricks you two have. I'll punish you two by washing clothes for half a month. Which one of you is not convinced?"

"No, no, no, my son is convinced. " "The two brothers dared to say they were not convinced and shook their heads repeatedly.

"Huh." Wang Xi'er snorted softly and went out to cook.
