A total of five medicines were taken, and every fifty money was paid, so there was only twenty money left. Wang Ge was very content. As long as he could cure his eldest father's back disease, or even relieve some pain, he would have no money left.

White flowers!

However, this trip made her understand that the transactions in the county were mainly in the form of monetary transactions. Only small transactions in the countryside, or with vendors and salesmen, would involve bartering.

Wang Ge hurried on his journey and arrived at the township two days later.

It was getting dark now, so she checked into the Xiangting Inn again, but she didn't meet the old man who fed the pigs. At dawn, she went to the place where she first met Liu Xiaolang selling straw sandals, and waited for an hour, but he didn't come.

Wang Ge could only ask his neighbors: "Excuse me, does Liu Xiaolang, who was the examiner for the craftsmen selection competition some time ago, live nearby?"

After questioning several people in this way, I finally determined the location of Liu Bo's house. When I came to the narrow alley where he lived, the sound of creaking spinning wheels could be heard in the courtyard walls on both sides.

The fifth door... She stood at the door and knocked gently.

The door opens.

Liu Bo and Wang Ge looked at each other.

There were ink stains on his hands. He smiled and the sun seemed to clear up in an instant. "Are you here to pay off a debt?"

"Yeah!" She nodded gracefully.

After a while, she unloaded the basket and said goodbye.

Liu Bo mentioned it, he didn't expect it to be so heavy. Did Miss Wang carry such a heavy thing back from the county?

Ren stopped spinning and asked, "Who was that just now?"

"This year's top craftsman in the county, I met her half a month ago when I went to Duting Station to pick up the slips that my father asked someone to send back."

"Then why don't you invite someone in?"

"She once owed me a favor and came here to repay the debt. She also has to rush back to Jiashe Village."

Mrs. Ren smiled and continued to spin. As her son grew older, he had his own opinions on everything. He would say what he wanted to say, and she would never force him to say something if he didn't want to.

Liu Bo took off the cattail grass covering the top of the basket and was stunned. Ren glanced over and was surprised. It turned out that under the cattail grass, there were hundreds of bamboo slips neatly arranged! Everything he could see was polished and smooth.

smooth.

Ren said softly: "This took a lot of effort."

Liu Bo picked up a bamboo slip and could imagine how serious Mrs. Wang was when she was cutting bamboo strips. She was able to take into account the use of the competition and at the same time save the best bamboo materials to make strips of bamboo slips.

Carrying it back from afar and giving it to him really... only made him indebted to her again.

Before evening, Wang Ge finally returned to Jiashe Village and felt the unprecedented enthusiasm of his village neighbors.

It turned out that the village officials had come to the village to inform the news that she had passed the examination as a craftsman boy, and also allocated money to the royal household as a reward for the first-class craftsman boy. Not only that, the labor force of the household where the craftsman boy belonged could be halved, that is to say

, Wang Erlang will be back soon.

"Sister!" Wang Yun rushed forward and was picked up by Wang Ge.

After being away from home for so long, what she misses most is her brother. "Let me see, sister, why have you lost weight?"

"I think what my sister thinks."

Wang Ge touched his little head with his forehead and couldn't bear to put it down. He hugged him and greeted his family: "My eldest mother, my father, my third uncle, my younger brother, and my younger sister."

The dry smile on Xiao Jia's and Yao's faces was uglier than crying. This damn girl deliberately ignored them and made them angry!

Jia Gren said anxiously: "Come in quickly, your eldest father has been counting on you to come back today and has been asking questions since the morning! Come down quickly, don't tire your sister. Why don't you go to cook the bride quickly? Sanlang, not yet

Support your brother!"

A group of people crowded into the house. The inner room was small, and the five juniors Wang He and Wang Shu in the second room, Wang Zhu, Wang Peng, and Wang Ai in the third room stayed in the outside room.

The old man couldn't get up, but when he saw his eldest granddaughter, he felt relieved, and then felt heartbroken. The old man's eyes turned red: "Hu Bao is back? Hu Bao, sit down and have a rest."

When Wang Ge heard the change in his father's voice, he immediately choked up. He put down the duck and knelt down in front of his father. With tears in his eyes and a smile in his tears, there was perseverance in his smile: "Father, my granddaughter is back. Granddaughter, do

arrive."

"I did it, yes, I did it! It doesn't matter if you can't do it! My eldest father knew you could do it!" Wang Weng was incoherent for a moment, and he was very pleased: "Age, you have earned face for our Wang family.

When your second uncle comes back, our family will have a good reunion dinner!"

Grandma Jia, the eldest son, and his son all wiped away tears, especially the little one, whose lips and chin were shaking like the folds of a steamed bun.

Wang Sanlang looked at his father and mother worriedly, not knowing what to say.

Wang Shu kept listening to the goings-on in the back room and wiped her tears silently. It turns out that sister Cong is so powerful! It turns out that as long as the little girl is willing to endure hardships and learn the crafts, she can earn respect for her family like a son-in-law!

Soon, there was laughter again in the back room. It was Wang Ge who was talking about the exam. When they heard that a cattail mat she had made was sold for a hundred yuan, everyone exclaimed, "I can't believe it"! When they heard it again

When the bamboo fighting tools were sold for 120 yuan, the excitement was even greater!

Wang Ge looked at the medicine bag and pig fat bag put aside at this time, and said: "Then, I took the money into the county town and grabbed five packages of medicine for the elder father. Each medicine is fifty dollars. This kind of

The medicine had to be boiled in pig fat, so I bought two liters of pig fat in the township, and the money was... spent."

The wooden man Wang Sanlang finally spoke: "So expensive?!"

A few packets of herbal medicine cost two hundred and fifty yuan! Who wouldn't mind it being expensive? It was so expensive that the whole family was beyond their comprehension! But Wang Sanlang shouted out in such a hurry, with a pale face, how could Wang Weng not be sad?

Wang Ge took advantage of the firewood in the kitchen and hurried to the utility room to find the dusty small pottery stove to boil medicine.

Wang Yun helped his father back to the house, and then came back to gently rub his waist. His small palms and gentle pressure were just right for the pain in his waist that would be unbearable even if he was not strong enough. Wang Weng thought,

After the family was separated, the eldest brother would be the one to take care of him in his old age, so the sadness gradually eased.

In the kitchen, Wang Shu knelt down in front of Wang Ge and helped add a piece of firewood. Little Jia kicked him and said, "The kitchen is so big, why are you all crowded here?"

"Mom, I am learning how to make medicine from my sister..."

"You don't have the ability to make money to buy medicine, so what's the use of learning this? If you want to be filial, help with the cooking! Why are you crying? I look sad all day long. Am I shorting you for eating, or am I shorting you for drinking?

If I had known that I was so frustrated with you, I should have begged Nuwa to stuff you back into her belly! You can’t even drive! You’re blocking the road!” Little Jia shut up when she came out of the kitchen, for fear that Auntie would hear her.

Wang Shu was honest and complained to Wang Ge with tears in her eyes: "I have learned how to cook, but my aunt only lets me farm and practice knitting when I have time. Should I listen to my aunt or my grandma?"

How could Wang Ge not understand what his eldest mother meant? The two aunts were so lazy that they went up to the mountains to farm. Who could keep an eye on them all day long? It would be better for them to take turns cooking, fetching water, and cleaning the yard every day.

, these are all tasks that are obvious, and doing less of them will not be enough.

So she said: "The work at home is either this or that, it doesn't matter. But the younger generation must listen to the instructions of the elders. If you do the work and your elders and parents are bothered by it, you might as well not do it!"

Wang Shu nodded: "I understand."

"Don't cry. I'm back. Starting tomorrow morning, I'll cook breakfast, so that your mother and third aunt can complain less."

"I'll follow Sister!"

"No need. If one person can do the job, why need another person? You farm the land steadily and learn knitting from me every now and then. That's better than anything else." Wang Ge added half of the pig fat into the medicine cauldron and stirred it.

The darker the sky, the more red the light from the fire shines through the stove hole. But no matter how red it is, it is not as dazzling as the color that penetrated the bed board when my mother suffered a hemorrhage! It hurts the heart!

Little Jia, Yao, the debt you owe to our eldest brother...it's finally time to pay it back! You have been mean to me for many years, you have been bullying my mother, you have ridiculed my father, and you have made my mother feel so uneasy before she passed away! She

I was afraid that my son and my daughter would be mistreated by the other two families and die with their eyes open! Even my brother almost died in infancy!

Debts...repaying debts is a matter of course! From now on, you two evil women are waiting to be gradually despised and alienated by your relatives!
