Chapter 12: The poor girl and her father (3)

When the rain fell, Wu Qun's family's wheat had been harvested and put away.

"His aunt, we're here to help." Seventh Uncle brought people all the way to help.

"Uncle Seven is no longer needed, it's all put away." Wu Qun waved his hand and shouted loudly, staying a little far away without shouting.

When Uncle Seven heard this, he hid under the eaves of Wu Qun's house and didn't come over. Wu Qun hugged Wu Zhaodi and ran towards the house quickly behind her mother.

"Seventh Uncle, Huzi comes in and sits down, and asks my brother to add water." Mother Wu patted her clothes at the door and greeted.

Wu Qun put down to recruit his younger brother and asked her to do things, while he went to the main room facing Uncle Qi and Hu Zi, not to mention that although he was poor, he still had a large room plus a kitchen and a thatched cottage.

"Qunzhi, let Seventh Uncle see how you are." Mother Wu was worried, although her son woke up, her face was pale.

"His aunt, brother Qunzhi's life is tough, this time King Yan will not accept him, your family will send it next year." Huzi said with a smile while drinking hot water.

Wu Qun laughed without saying a word, and he stopped talking when they stopped talking.

Seventh Uncle and Huzi didn't stay at Wu Qun's house to eat. These days, the villagers in the village are not rich, and they don't have the habit of rubbing rice, but it made Wu Qun full after eating, but the highland barley noodles are a little loud. It seems that the living conditions must be improved, and farming for others is not a long-term solution.

Back to old business? The background of this era is a bit difficult in this northern region. Look at the braids behind everyone. Western medicine is completely incompetent, and there is no famous channel for teachers. Wu Qun thought for a while. Chinese medicine, fortunately, in addition to dispensing medicine, he has learned some from the old master. The starting point is already there, and now there is one master left.

"Dad, grandma is calling you." Wu Zhaodi tugged at Wu Qun's clothes and looked up at him.

"What's wrong, mother?" Wu Qun turned his head and asked.

"Hey, Qunzhi, I'll go to Seventh Uncle's house in a while. Thank you so much. What do you think is appropriate to bring?" Mother Wu said with a sigh.

Wu Qun thought for a while. Uncle Seven was a wild man in the village, but it was also thanks to this person that he could read and recognize herbs.

"Mother, bring ten eggs, what do you think of a hare?" Wu Qun was not just thinking about thanks, I wanted to learn medicine from a famous teacher.

"So many?" Mother Wu put down her work and looked at Wu Qun in surprise.

"Mother, I think we are all planting for others. I think that the ancestors of the seventh uncle are imperial doctors and should be able to learn something. Of course, I don't treat people in the village, so I will go to the town." Wu Qun told his mother about his plans again.

Mother Wu looked at Wu Qun worriedly: "Quanzhi, studying medicine is not something you can learn in a day or two, look at Huzi studying with your seventh uncle since he was a child, and he hasn't been a teacher yet, if you really don't want to. After farming, go to the city to find an accountant to do a job, and mother asks Seventh Uncle to show it for you."

"Father, it's good to be the accountant. Hu Zi said that the accountant in the city has one or two silver coins a month." Wu Zhaodi also expressed her opinion.

Wu Qun looked at Wu's mother and Wu Zhaodi, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, a tael of silver is not bad, but I don't have a reputation, so I don't know if I can do it." All it takes is a teacher to be famous, not completely incompetent. At least he is quite good at acupuncture and moxibustion, and he did a lot of experiments on Yan Hai and Li Hong back then.

"Okay, definitely okay, don't worry about Niang and Zhaodi this time, go with peace of mind." Mother Wu said as if Wu Qun already had an errand, so he didn't know how to answer.

"Mother, then are you looking at the wild rabbit?" Wu Qun couldn't help but ask, it might be possible to do things without giving people some benefits these days, but Wu Qun didn't want to owe his seventh uncle.

"Let's go after eating." Wu's mother spoke, but Wu Qun didn't say anything.

After eating and cleaning up, Mother Wu took Wu Qun and Zhao Di to the Seventh Uncle's house in the rain.

"Why did his aunt come here on such a rainy day?" Seven aunt asked with some doubts.

"Isn't Qunzhi all right? Let's come and thank him Seventh Uncle." Wu's mother said, Wu Qun put the things on the Seventh Uncle's table, pursed his lips and smiled.

After the greeting, Mother Wu mentioned something, and Uncle Seven nodded in response, and then Wu Qun went home.

The development of things was not what Wu Qun expected, but it went smoothly. After the Wu family had harvested the wheat and collected the grain, and after paying the rent, Uncle Seven said that he could go to the city to be the accountant, and it cost nine cents a month, less than a tael.

Wu Qun went without saying a word. After the autumn harvest, there was nothing left in the land. Once the land is harvested every year, it may not be possible to pay the rent.

Wu Qun has been in the store all winter. Because of his good work, he has been appreciated by the owner. Although his monthly payment has not increased, the owner has distributed benefits, including a jar of rapeseed oil, two catties of meat, and three catties of jujube. He gave Wu Qun a leave and lent him a donkey.

Wu Qun came home on a donkey with something, and Wu Zhaodi was very happy. He worked for five months with his boss, and he took the monthly money for four months and gave it to Wu's mother, which made Wu cry. Whispering.

"Mother, this money is enough for us to live in the city for a while, why don't you and Zhao Di come with me to the city." Wu Qun persuaded, but Wu's mother hesitated.

"It's not enough to keep the money for you to marry a housewife, so my mother won't go to the city. In the beginning of the spring, there is still farming. If people leave, what will happen to the land?" Mother Wu said hesitantly.

"Just return the land to the landlord's family." Wu Qun had no idea that he couldn't live without land, but this statement terrified Wu's mother. People who have been relying on land for generations, without land, feel that heaven is the capital. about to collapse.

Wu Qun reluctantly left. Every once in a while, he would ask for leave to visit his old mother, and persuade him by the way, but unfortunately it has been unsuccessful.

It was not until a year and a half later that Wu Qun consciously exposed his medical skills and was transferred to a medical clinic by the owner. After the monthly payment was changed to two taels of silver, Wu's mother brought the twelve-year-old Wu Zhaodi and returned the rented land. , came to the county seat. Don't give Wu Qun Zhang Luo's wife.

Wu Qun has always been worried about Wu Zhaodi's marriage, but she can't let her marry someone else at a young age. Now his family's situation has improved a lot, and Wu Zhaodi also has a relatively better environment. He made a bold decision to let her Wu Zhaodi went to women's school Mongolian school.

Wu Qun was refuted by Wu's mother as soon as he mentioned it. The reason is very simple. Wu Zhaodi will be someone else's family in another two or three years, so there is no need to learn these things.

"Mother, I don't want Zhao Di to marry, I'm just this girl, I want her to recruit a son-in-law, so that she won't be bullied by her husband's family when she gets married. If you recruit a son-in-law and have me as a father, the day of Zhao Di will also be guarded. It can be better." Wu Qun said his thoughts slowly, but Mother Wu couldn't accept it.
