LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 216 - Farmhouse
After eating, Xu Zifan drank the last medicine. Both Xu’s father and Xu’s mother asked him how he was doing. Xu Zifan got up and walked around and said with a smile: “I’m fine, really, I have read a lot of medical books myself, knowing my body, no need to take medicine, after two days it will be the same as before.”
“Have you read medical books?” Xu’s mother asked in surprise, “Do you like to see doctors?”
“Well, from the library, no one in our family is sick at ordinary times. I was not at home when I was sick, so I didn’t mention it. I like it very much, but I have never had a chance.”
Father Xu and Mother Xu glanced at each other, and Father Xu thought, “Why don’t you want to be an apprentice in a medical clinic? If you can learn it, it will be better than a mud-legged one.”
Mother Xu hesitated: “This apprentice… will be for several years? Don’t learn anything by then, and delay the third child.”
Xu Zifan waved his hand and said: “Don’t, I don’t like someone to take care of me, I don’t want to go. Don’t worry about it, my parents, I will figure it out for myself. There is a saying called “the book has its own golden house”, self-taught Not without it, I won’t say it if I really learn.”
Father Xu sighed, “I don’t think you have a qualitative character. First, you said that you want to study, and then that you want to practice medicine. I think we should first marry a daughter-in-law and start a family.
Xu Zifan hurriedly said: “Father, you can forgive me. Just my current reputation, where can I marry a good wife? It’s better not to marry a casual one, because the house is restless.”
Xu’s father, Xu’s mother and Xiaolian thought of Su Qianyun almost instantly. If you want to say that she is not good, marrying into the door has been very good these years, but if you want to say that she is good, she has said happily recently. Obedient, the results always make them unhappy. The main reason for the Xu family’s separation was Su Qianyun. Anyone in the village would cause trouble in his family. If Xu Zifan also marries someone like Su Qianyun, maybe their two elders and the unmarried sister-in-law will be rejected.
Xu Zifan said again, “Give me a year? If I can’t accomplish anything like this one year from now, I will do whatever you ask me to do. Father and mother, a year is not long, and if I have the skills Now? Not only can you marry a good wife, but you can also find a good relationship for my sister. So this year, don’t rush to make a marriage between my sister and me. Just think about it if you want to, and talk about it a year later. OK?”
Xiao Lian blushed when he heard about his marriage and didn’t dare to look up. Xu’s father and Xu’s mother saw that he had said so. After thinking about it for a year, it was nothing. The two of them could still support this family, so they nodded in agreement Father Xu said solemnly: “I remember what you said today, and you won’t regret it a year later. You still have to support this family by yourself in the future.”
Xu Zifan nodded repeatedly, and took the hats that were made for them, and said: “Father, mother, a year is not long or short, and I can’t just let you work hard. How do you think our family prepares and sells more hats? There are ten villages around here. Yes, I can sell a lot? No matter the money or food, how much can I add to the family. I will think about making up other things. When we are fine, we can make more and go to the town to sell it. Don’t ask for more. It’s okay for the four of us to eat more delicious food.”
They think that bamboo products can’t be sold for money. Everyone knows how to make up. If they don’t, they can figure it out. What is the price? But this was the first time Xu Zifan mentioned making money, and they were all in favor, repeatedly praising him for his cleverness, and agreed to sell bamboo products in the future.
It was still dark, Xu Zifan went to the yard to teach Xu father how to make his hat. Su Qianyun saw this and smiled and said, “The third child is really clever, can you make one for your second brother? His hat is a little broken.”
Xu Zifan didn’t lift his head and said, “Second sister-in-law, I will make up when I have time.”
Su Qianyun sounds like this means rejection, is he free? He is idle at home every day, when is he out of time? Isn’t this in hand? It’s really caressing, lying and deceiving people, being lazy and not working, and I am ashamed to blame them for their separation. This kind of people are the most unpromising. Su Qianyun turned around and went back to the room without answering her words.
Father Xu glanced at Xu Zifan and whispered, “Are you angry with two brothers?”
Xu Zifan laughed and said: “It’s not that I have a bad temper, and I can’t speak good words to people who look down on me and want to call me casually. Dad, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and you don’t care about our three brothers. , I promise, I will treat whoever is good to me.”
Father Xu felt that the third child had done nothing, did not marry a daughter-in-law, and would not make money. It was a bit childish to say this, as if he had not grown up, he shook his head and said nothing. As for Xu Zifan’s disdain for Su Qianyun in his words, he didn’t care, because he was also very dissatisfied with Su Qianyun, the second daughter-in-law. If it hadn’t been for Su Qianyun’s fuss that day, he would shout out Xu Zifan’s laziness in the name of reading in the yard, Xu Zifan’s reputation It will not get worse.
Fortunately, Su Qianyun was also taboo for fear of implicating the teacher, and did not say outside that Xu Zifan gave him something to ask someone to help tell lies, otherwise, Xu Zifan’s reputation would not be desired. The family, if there is something to be resolved behind closed doors, they didn’t disagree if she wanted to split the family, why should it be spread outside? Although they didn’t mention it, they felt cold towards the second daughter-in-law.
Xu Zifan didn’t worry about the teacher’s affairs. He wanted to solve 10,000 ways. He didn’t deliberately care about Su Qianyun as a woman. He just didn’t care about men or women. He didn’t like him and even called him for granted. . Besides, what Su Qianyun did when he crossed over was extremely offensive. He didn’t need to follow someone he disliked.
Xu’s father usually weaves bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets. As soon as Xu Zifan taught him, he learned how to do it. When Xu Zifan was making up, he clicked on a beautiful food box on the screen and made up bamboo sticks. When Father Xu finished composing the four hats, he also finished composing the food box. The bamboo strips are interspersed with different colors on the front and back sides, with regular patterns, beautiful shapes and exquisite styles. It looks a bit like a waste of things in the village because it is too delicate.
When Xu’s father saw Xu Zifan’s composition next to him, he was pleasantly surprised: “The third child, you are really talented. This is better than what I have seen in town!”
Xu Zifan smiled and said, “It’s better than an ordinary craftsman, and it’s better than ordinary craftsmen. Dad, do you think this can be sold?”
Father Xu doesn’t know. He used to make very little money selling bamboo baskets. He hesitated and said: “Try it.”
Xu Zifan nodded, got up and stretched, and while packing up the bamboo strips, he said: “It’s dark, father, go to bed early. I’ll make up this if I’m fine at home these two days, and wait for me to get better. Let’s go to the town and have a look. I have something to go to the library.”
He didn’t say that Father Xu hadn’t paid attention to it for so long, and said hurriedly: “I’ll talk about it when you are up. Go back to the house and sleep. You are still ill.”
“Knowing Dad, I will sleep now.”
Xu Zifan went back to the room and took off his clothes. He pierced dozens of acupuncture points on his body with the fine wood thorns cut in the day, and sweated again. The environment at home couldn’t take a shower every day, and he couldn’t help it. He changed into a dry shirt and lay down to sleep. Next door to him, Father Xu and Mother Xu talked about Xu Zifan for an hour. The children are sensible and smart, and they feel very comfortable in their hearts. They have been worrying about what Xu Zifan will do in the future, but now they can feel relieved when he knows that he is motivated. The two also discussed how to sell the hats and food boxes before they can be sold, and their minds are completely over here, and they don’t even think of the boring matter of separating the house.
The next day, the Xu family had dinner in the morning and went to the ground. Xu’s father and Xu’s mother happily put on the hat made by Xu Zifan for them. Xiao Lian has already asked Xu’s mother, and Xu’s mother also agrees with what Xu Zifan said, telling Xiao Lian to leave the housework of the two families alone. Since the family is separated, don’t entangle these trivial matters, so as to avoid conflicts someday. Aunts and sisters-in-law are not so easy to get along with, it is better to let Xiaolian relax before marrying. So Xiao Lian relaxed a lot. Seeing Xu Zifan smiling, she asked him what he was going to do in the morning.
Xu Zifan thought about the character of the two-bedroom couple, stepping on the Xu family to praise themselves, it must have been accumulated bit by bit, and it is easier to believe. This is just the separation, it was when the villagers were curious to ask, they had to behave. Whatever looks tolerant, hesitant to speak, shaking his head and sighing, hating iron for not making steel, etc., must be vividly performed. Xu Zifan’s task is to make his parents live a good life. Of course, he can’t let Erfang ruin the reputation of the family. He thinks he should go for a stroll in the village.
“Xiaolian, you will roast two sweet potatoes later, let’s go to the field to send some food and some water to parents, and then help do something.”
“Hey, I’m going now.”
Xu Zifan arranged work for Xiao Lian, and sat in the yard to make a hat and soak up the sun.
In the field, everyone saw Xu’s father and Xu’s mother’s hats and they all came forward to ask in a novel way. The two elders were cheerful and proud to say that Xu Zifan had made up them because they were afraid that the old hats they wore were too heavy. The men are okay. Some women and girls are itchy looking at Xu’s mother’s hats. The patterns are so beautiful. There is nothing to dress up on weekdays. It’s okay to wear a nice hat.
A woman who was standing close to Su Qianyun asked Su Qianyun, “This is really your third eldest editor? I didn’t give you a few and change it?”
The author has something to say: The story of this dynasty is overhead, and how to set it up is explained in the article. Even in our history, the treatment of imperial examinations, merchants, and doctors varies from generation to generation. I hope you don’t look at it with stereotypes. Thank you.
