Chapter 63: malaria outbreak
Chapter 63 Malaria Outbreak
Because of Wang Cuiying's harmful plan, Liang Xiaobei's original happy mood disappeared.
Liang Xiaonan said: "What are you worried about? At most, I will go to the city tomorrow to find Wang Youyang. He supports me in silkworm farming. I am a commoner who takes the lead in agricultural production. How can they treat me as a bad person? Besides, our song Stands up to scrutiny."
"Sister, these things are hard to explain."
"Why can't you tell clearly? Don't be afraid." Ji Yan, she packed some supplies into the space, and took grandma and Xiaobei to the big city.
Mr. Xie gave her more than 3,000 yuan, and Zhou Yan gave her 2,666 yuan. She has saved so much money during this period, so she should not live too well.
She is really not afraid.
Back home, Grandma Liang said happily: "Xiaonan, Zhou Yan gave me a basket of lychees. You can try it quickly. I ate one. It was too sweet and delicious."
"What about others?"
"I didn't stop, I put down the litchi and left."
These lychees are red, plump and fresh. Liang Xiaonan likes lychees the most, so he didn’t eat them for dinner. He ate more than a dozen of them one by one.
There was more than enough food in a big basket, so she soaked the rest in the well water.
Installed two batteries in the desk lamp that Zhou Yan gave her, turned on the switch, and the whole room was brightly lit.
Grandma Liang said: "This light is really good. It shines like daytime. If you turn it on for a while, it will waste electricity."
"Grandma, the things you buy are for use, and your eyes are burnt out, so what are you saving money for?" Liang Xiaonan settled the accounts under the lamp, how much labor fees the Xiao family should get during this time.
Looking at the fish pond, digging potatoes, delivering potatoes, delivering fish, and planting potatoes, the Xiao family helped a lot. According to the originally agreed salary, it should be 63 yuan.
Liang Xiaonan counted out 63 yuan, took out the two bags of sugar Wang Heming brought, took out a bag, took a few apples and oranges, and went to Xiao Hongyu's house.
The Xiao family hadn't finished their dinner yet, seeing Liang Xiaonan coming, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly pulled a small chair for her to sit down, and ordered Xiao Hongyu to give her a cattail fan. There were too many mosquitoes at night. There were slaps on his body.
Liang Xiaonan said: "Auntie, I will settle the account with you for this period of time. You can see if there is any leakage. If there is any leakage, you must tell me."
She told them the details of the accounts. The Xiao family was being polite, but in fact their ears were pricked up and their hearts were clear.
They discovered that Liang Xiaonan not only did not miss a penny, but also paid them 1 yuan a day for digging potatoes. Zhao and Xiao Tiezhu were very embarrassed.
"It's enough to count the potatoes as part of the delivery. Otherwise, it costs 1 yuan for a trip. How can it be so easy to earn? You can't ask for the money for digging potatoes!" Xiao Tiezhu said.
Liang Xiaonan said that it must be given, as long as you work, you must be paid.
She made up her mind that the money must be given to the Xiao family. If the Xiao family lives well, no one will think of exchanging Xiao Hongyu for a marriage.
Sitting in Xiao's house for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
Mr. Zhao and Xiao Hongyu sent her home in one go. They were so excited that they couldn’t keep their voices down. They were so happy. After working for a month, Liang Xiaonan gave her 63 yuan and gave her gifts.
Early the next morning, Xiao Hongyu came to Liang's house and brought a bag full of young corn and a long pumpkin.
Grandma Liang said: "You broke the corn so tender? What a pity."
"It's not a pity, my mother told you to try something new."
Liang Xiaonan and the others only have one mu of land. Except for a fish pond and a few potatoes, they have no other food. They have to find other ways to eat everything.
Xiao Hongyu put down her things and left in a hurry. They have a lot of family members and a lot of work, so they have to go back to work quickly.
Liang Xiaonan said to Grandma Liang: "I saw a mulberry tree with a lot of mulberries on the mountain yesterday. It should be purple today. I have to hurry to avoid being pecked by birds."
Grandma Liang said: "Shall I pick it with you?"
Liang Xiaonan thought the road was okay, and the little mulberry sapling over there had to be seen by the old lady, otherwise she would think that she always changes things with bare hands.
"Okay, I'll carry the basket on my back, let's go together."
Liang Xiaobei went to the fish pond early, and she took Grandma Liang up the mountain.
Grandma Liang has small feet and straddles a basket. The two of them walked very slowly, and it took almost two hours to reach the pond. Liang Xiaonan said in his heart that he would never take Grandma Liang up the mountain again.
Grandma Liang saw hundreds of mulberry trees by the pond. She was both excited and worried: "Xiaonan, if the villagers see this, you will have to peel off all the leaves."
"So I want to transplant these trees and the seedlings below to Zhou Yan's field."
Liang Xiaonan led Grandma Liang to the mulberry tree full of mulberries. Sure enough, the mulberry trees were already ripe, densely packed, black and purple, smaller than what she saw in her previous life, but the flesh was fresher and firmer.
Grandma Liang's hands were shaking with excitement, and she kept saying, "So many, my God, so many, why are there so many knots?"
"Grandma, eat some, it's a lot anyway."
Grandma Liang was reluctant to eat, so she picked it up and sold it for money, and went to visit relatives.
"What kind of relatives are you going, eat!" Liang Xiaonan picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth, "Try it quickly, it's sour and sweet, how delicious it is."
This mulberry is nourished by her spiritual spring liquid, and it is by no means comparable to those mulberries on the street.
Grandma Liang ate it and squinted her eyes happily: "It's so sweet and delicious."
Mulberry saplings In fact, Liang Xiaonan didn't intend to bear fruit at first, but wanted to make leaf mulberry and grow leaves to raise silkworms, so these saplings grow fast, but the crown is not particularly large. After all the mulberries are picked, there is only half a basket and an extra basket.
Grandma Liang said: "Ask Xiaobei to deliver a basket to the Yang family, and I'll sell the rest in the town."
"Grandma, if you want to sell mulberries, go by yourself, I won't go."
"You definitely can't go, how can a girl like you squat on the street to sell things?" Grandma Liang said, "I'll go, I'm idle at home anyway."
She doesn't even need her to raise fish and potatoes. She wants to make shoes for Liang Xiaonan and Liang Xiaobei. Her eyesight is blurred and she can't see the needlework. She goes to the street to sell mulberries. She can do this kind of light work.
Because Grandma Liang followed, she didn't go to see the ginseng seedlings. Granny Liang picked the mulberries and went down the mountain, went to the fish pond first, left some for Liang Xiaobei, and told him to send the basket of mulberries to Nanfeng Town.
Daniu was pulling the last cart of potatoes, Xiao Hongyu helped him pretend, saw Liang Xiaonan, and said, "You idiot, he's swaying, sometimes it's as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and sometimes it's as hot as being in a stove. It's been several days. No more."
Grandma Liang was taken aback: "Did you see a doctor?"
"Look, there is no medicine! In the health center in the town, there are hundreds of people who watch and play tricks every day. There is nowhere to stand, and the medicine is gone. It is estimated that many people will die this year."
"So many jiggers?" Liang Xiaonan somewhat knew that the scientific name of this disease was malaria, but she had never seen anyone suffering from this disease. It seemed that this disease had disappeared in the country in her previous life.
"Yeah, I heard that there are huge numbers of people treating diarrhoea in the county hospital. It is said that there is a concentrated outbreak. The medicine is not available, and no hospital has any medicine! There are diabolism every year. Who would have thought that there will be a big outbreak this year!"
