Chapter 6 Schadenfreude

After Su Ling finished the meal and entered the room, she saw the little two sitting there staring at each other with big eyes. Little Wu's eyes were still a little red, and she said in surprise, "What's wrong? Are you bickering?"

"Where is it? Xiao Wuchou's family's livelihood, I said I could make money, but she didn't believe it, and her eyes were red with anger."

Lingsu was both angry and funny, and tapped her forehead: "You can be rude, why do you provoke Xiaowu? She is squeamish, not as sturdy as you, and you prefer to tease her. If you really make her cry, see your mother come back. I won't beat you."

Lingyu: ......

Who's eyes are red from your anger? I am not...

Forget it, although this is her own sister, she can be considered a person who has lived for two lifetimes. In her eyes, this sister is just a baby. What does she care about?

Lingyu touched her face and forced a smile: "I'm fine."

Brothers and sisters in the family, quarreling about nothing, being annoyed and good for a while, not worth taking seriously.

Ling Su smiled softly.

She was an orphan in her last life, and she said she died to save others, but it was just that lonely world, she had no love in her life, so she was able to die calmly.

In the twelve years of my life, my father was kind and serious, my mother was gentle and dignified, my eldest brother was honest and generous, my second brother was rebellious but loved them dearly, my fourth sister was naughty and cute but also caring, and my little sister was delicate and graceful. , So parents and siblings, after all, let her take pictures.

Feeling uneasy, he checked Xiaoxun's pulse again to confirm that she was in good health, and then smiled: "Mother and second brother should be back soon. This muddy road is really difficult to walk, you two stay at home, I will greet you. As soon as you greet them, you can also help with something."

Qixun hurriedly pulled her: "Sister, you've been busy all day, go to the kang and rest for a while. I'm thinking that my mother will definitely take someone's ox cart back. Our house is not far from the road, wait and hear. It's not too late to welcome them when they come back."

Ling Su smiled: "Alright."

Sitting on the kang, thinking of the bickering between the little two, Lingyu said: "I told you earlier, you don't have to worry about family matters, and making money is not something you should think about. My brother and my mother. I studied medicine with my grandfather when I was a child, and I know a lot of medicinal materials. When I have time to wait, I go to the mountains to dig some medicinal materials to concoct and sell them, and I can always get some money. "

Grandfather Gong Yujin was the imperial physician of the former Taiyuan Hospital. Later, he was implicated in resignation. On the way back to his hometown, he was seriously injured by a bandit. Mingxi accidentally fell into the water while washing and was rescued by Yan's father, Yan Fengchi. Yan Fengchi's grandfather worked in the Imperial Academy of Beijing during his lifetime. He was an official in the same dynasty as Gong Yujin, and he was also acquainted. Gong Yujin simply married his daughter to Yan Fengchi.

After the two got married, Gong Yujin thought that there were no relatives alive in her hometown, and she was worried about her only daughter, so she settled down in Yan's village, built a house next to her son-in-law's house, and lived next to her son-in-law's family.

Yan Lingsu showed amazing talent in medicine since she was a child, and has been studying medicine with her grandfather until the old man died.

However, because of her young age and a girl's family, she has never had her pulse checked.

Therefore, she is not a big talk when she says that she is going to get herbal medicine to make money.

Qixun Sansan, if she insisted that she can make money, Sanjie would be as unbelievable as Xiaowu. She didn't bother to say anymore.

But just sitting like this is boring, so I have to chat awkwardly: "How about I tell you a joke?"

Without waiting for the two little girls to agree, she continued: "By the way, a centipede was bitten by a poisonous snake and was sent to the animal hospital for first aid. After the diagnosis, Lang Zhong said: In order to prevent the spread of the venom, the limb must be amputated. Stop! The centipede said, I have too many legs, cut them off! I can hold on! Langzhong comforts it, good brother, if you want to open up, you will be an earthworm in the future."

Lingyu covered her mouth with a face-saving smile, and Lingsu's eyes were also full of smiles.

The three sisters laughed for a while, and Lingsu heard footsteps outside. Looking through the window, she saw her mother and second brother Gong Yuhao came back with things on their backs.

Ling Su hurriedly jumped out of bed and put on her shoes to greet people.

Qixun and Lingyu were lying at the window looking out.

Yan Niang opened the bamboo fence and entered the courtyard, followed by her second brother Gong Yuhao, who slipped and slumped into the mud after hitting the bamboo door.

Both Qixun and Lingyu opened their mouths in shock.

But he was still protecting the package, holding it high, not to mention how ridiculous.

Qixun: "...I hope the door is alright."

Lingyu: "...Pfft."

Lingyu thought about how unkindness to laugh at the second brother. In order to show her kindness, she rolled her eyes at Qixun and said angrily, "Shouldn't you be worried about the second brother at this moment? Just tell my brother."

Because her grandfather had no children, Yan Niang gave birth to three children in her first child, and among the three children, the eldest son and the second son were male treasures. The grandfather negotiated with Yan's father, and the second son was adopted to the Gongyu family, so the second brother followed the grandfather's surname Gongyu, which was recorded in the name of the uncle who died early.

Gongyu is a rare compound surname. Later, Yan Niang gave birth to twins Qixun and Lingyu. Qixun was also adopted by her uncle who died early, so she was called Qixun, not the Lingzi generation of the Suiyan family.

Therefore, in this life, she is not actually called Yan Qixun, but now her name is Gongyu Qixun.

Strictly speaking, Qixun and his second brother Gong Yuhao are actually cousins ​​with their eldest brother and sister. But at home, the five brothers and sisters are all called according to their own sequence.

The two little people were lying on the window and gloating at the misfortune, Lingsu was very kind, hurriedly ran to pick up the things in Gong Yuhao's hand, and even freed up a hand to help him.

Yan Nianggong Yu's Mingxi looked at her frizzy son and two silly daughters lying on the windowsill, and shook her head.

The boy is sturdy and can't be broken by falling, but now he's worried if he doesn't have clothes to change and wash.

One by one, don't worry.

When Mother entered the house, Qixun and Lingyu also got off the kang and talked around Gongyu Mingxi: "Mother, what did you and the second brother buy? Why are there so many?"

"Because I didn't have much money, I only bought two quilts. I'll use them first. I also bought a few catties of silk and cotton, and a few pieces of cloth to make clothes for you to wash. Then I'll have some coarse grains and oil and salt. I'm afraid you will have to live with your mother for a few hard days. But this is also temporary, and my mother will find a way to make some money back."

There is no cotton these days, and ordinary people have no money. In winter, their clothes are stuffed with straw, kapok, and puppet for warmth. Those from better families use silk and cotton. In addition to silk and cotton, rich people also have leather.

The Yan family originally had a few old fur coats, but they were all swallowed up by the fire.

Gongyu is really worried about how to spend this winter.

Because I was reluctant to let the children get sick from the cold, I bought silk and cotton to make winter clothes for the children.

While helping to put things, Lingsu said: "Earlier, the grandmother of the Zuo family sent a few catties of rice noodles, a jar of porridge, and a few cakes. The eldest grandfather sent 50 catties of miscellaneous grains and two quilts, and the second grandfather also sent I came here with 30 catties of brown rice and 10 taels of silver. We kept the things, and I refused the money. Some people from the clan also came and said that they would go back and collect some food for each family. I think that now everyone is struggling. , I didn't answer, I just said that the two uncles and grandfathers have already sent some, and our family will buy more, enough to eat next summer."

In fact, after buying bedding and clothing, the remaining money could not buy much food.
