The leisurely life of rebirth

Cheng Shigui and the others saw that the family was busy and fulfilled, and felt that now that the matter was resolved, it was time to go back. They did not want to be treated as rare animals and were visited, so they planned to say goodbye and leave.

Grandma hurriedly prepared a lot of food for them, including everything they wanted. Especially seeing that they loved to eat various side dishes and game pickled by Fang Menan, grandma brought them ten small jars. There were also fruits and specialties from various spaces.

There is a lot installed.

Cheng Shigui whispered to her: "No wonder 'Sister Nan' is reluctant to leave. You can't find these things anywhere else." He hasn't had time to taste some of them, but since he has eaten them, he has come here to rob them every year around Christmas and New Year's Day.

, and more and more are taken away each time.

"'Sister Nan', install the phone as soon as possible so that we can discuss urgent matters." This was their last words before leaving.

Watching their car disappear at the corner of the street, the whole family went back. Grandma grabbed Fang Monan and asked, "Does this really require a phone?" [

"This will facilitate our communication at work, grandma, why don't we just pretend!" Fang Monan thought that he would use it a lot in the future.

"This is so eye-catching! Except for a few public phones in our county, there are no private phones." Grandma frowned and said: "If you want to install it, you have to find a good excuse, but you can't let any rumors spread, especially about our steamed bun stall.

.”

"The fact that they came so arrogantly and drove a car so arrogantly has probably spread by now. You can tell the outside world that for the sake of keeping in touch with relatives, why don't they leave money for us to install it?"

"Yeah! That's how you say it to the outside world." Grandma thought for a while, and for the sake of her granddaughter, the phone had to be set up.

Cheng Shigui and the others came in a hurry, and before people could react, they left in a hurry, leaving only people imagining their boasts.

They had just driven away when their aunt, whom they had not seen for a long time, suddenly came to visit. What a rare visitor! Not to mention the past life, after Fang Monan was reborn, he only saw her when she secretly pulled coal and wanted to take advantage.

Come to the door. Why this time?

In fact, my eldest aunt didn't want to come either. She had heard a lot of talk outside. She originally wanted the child's father to come and ask about the situation and whether he really had rich relatives. I heard that he came in a car, but he didn't agree to come.

, the two had a quarrel about this, but they couldn't succeed. Although she is eating free steamed buns now, compared with real money, it is still far behind. For money, ah! Not to understand the situation, no matter what

Is it true? In short, it is said that it has a nose and eyes. I have to come and see. I have to wear it myself and go into battle.

The eldest aunt was standing in the yard. Grandma was not at home, and everyone else was busy in the kitchen! When the aunt saw her coming, she blocked the door and refused to let her in. She even said sourly, "Tsk tsk... It's really rare. The sun rises from the west."

Get up, you are such a busy person, why did you come to our place?" She then mocked: "You can't go to the battle in person to get the steamed buns, right? My mother also runs a small business, but she can't bear the shamelessness of others.

Got it for free.”

"Haha... Xiaoyan! I heard that a noble man has come to our family, driving a black car." She said with a smile, and those who didn't know thought that her aunt was saying some sweet words. She said to her aunt

The sarcasm fell on deaf ears and she just pretended not to hear it. Compared with the money, her sister-in-law's sour words couldn't hurt her at all.

"That's my mother's relative, what does it have to do with you!" The aunt spoke unceremoniously and excluded her.

After hearing what she said, she rubbed her hands in embarrassment and said reluctantly: "How can I say this? It has nothing to do with me. Aren't we a family!"

The aunt didn't want to talk nonsense to her anymore, let alone look at her disgusting face, and said directly. "A family, a family will slander people behind their backs; a family, forget it, why are I talking to you? You are late.

, people are gone.”

"What! If you didn't tell me earlier when he left, let me stay here with you... Smiley. What are you worried about?" She looked at her aunt dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to speak too loudly for fear of being heard. "Haha...

Then I'll leave first." She left in a hurry. In fact, her goal was achieved, and it was confirmed that relatives had indeed come to the house. As for whether she had money or not, the child's father had to come forward.

"Hmph..." My aunt turned around and saw Fang Monan, and her face immediately changed into a smile. "What is Nannan doing!"

"I'm back from the toilet." Fang Monan replied.

"I just saw it." The aunt looked disdainful.

"Well! We have all seen the charm of money." Fang Monan said, otherwise how could he meet his aunt!

After hearing this, the aunt thought about it and realized that she was right. She was really shameless. She must tell her mother about this and get vaccinated.

After Cheng Shigui left, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau came to the house that afternoon to install the telephone, and the tap water was quickly installed. Two days later, the contractor Huangshan also signed a contract, which was signed by my mother.[

The uncle couldn't stand the noise of his wife at home, so he came here licking his face. "Mom, it's time to eat!" he asked awkwardly while standing outside the threshold.

"Yonghui is here, have you eaten? Come in and eat!" Grandma greeted.

"Hey!" The uncle came in, looked at the aunt's gloomy face, and thought of 'business' again, "Ah! I ate it at home." He walked to the Eight Immortals table, pointed at the TV and said with a smile: "Is this a TV?

It’s still colorful, so pretty.”

When the aunt heard what he said, she was afraid that her grandma would get hot-headed, so she quickly said: "This is for filial piety to our mother!" Afraid that he would not understand, she said bluntly: "It is not for filial piety to you." Anyway, the two brothers and sisters have a grudge.

In this life, she has no intention of untying it. Evil people will be evil people.

Grandma muttered, her eyes darkened, and she didn't say anything in the end?

My mother glared at my aunt, "What are you talking about! My eldest brother is not that kind of person!" My mother's words were even harsher, my mother was mighty!

"Yes! What Dayan said is right. Look at what Xiaoyan said. Don't you know that filial piety comes first?" The eldest uncle suppressed his blush and said after muttering for a long time.

My aunt said coldly, ‘Humph!’ and turned away from him.

Even though grandma was in a dilemma, she still followed Fang Monan's script, but since everyone was gone, you have to see people for any benefits! You can't really carry the things that others give to me as filial piety to your own home.

His spine was torn open. He said some words that were not painful or itchy, and had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

After he left, the atmosphere became a little cold. Fang Monan turned on the TV and said, "Grandma, look, the clothes they are wearing can be bought in Liang Zi's store." After the joke, the original atmosphere in the room finally returned.

***************************

The days passed peacefully after Cheng Shigui and the others left. With the arrival of television, Fang Monan and the others' evening life became much richer. However, there were very few entertainment programs at this time, almost none at all. Most of the time, everyone watched the news network,

There are also very few TV dramas, but they still maintain their own entertainment style every night.

Fang Mobei was playing the newly bought violin and was extremely happy.

On New Year's Day, my father came back from vacation. He hadn't seen him for almost a year since he left during the Spring Festival. Fang Monan saw that his face was full of smiles, and he had a good life.

Dad wanted to talk about the 14-inch black and white TV he bought, but when he saw the 18-inch imported color TV at home, he was speechless.

Grandma came to the rescue in time, "This TV is a gift from my grandson."

"Our mother's cousin's grandson? What's going on!" Dad looked at grandma curiously. He hadn't been back for a few days and the family had changed again. This was too fast.

"Oh! Is this..." Mom cleared up his doubts and changed the subject at the same time, not talking about the topic that was difficult for Dad.

But my father was very nervous, and afterwards he acted like a normal person, saying, "I don't hold any grudges." He also took out an old-fashioned seagull camera made in Shanghai as a treasure. This was originally prepared for them to go to Beijing during the summer vacation last year.

, but I didn’t go, but I had already bought it, so I had to bring it back. “It’s just right, I can take a family photo.”

Mom took out the couple's watch as a gift, "Ah! Where did such a beautiful watch come from?" Dad asked.

"My nephew, it's a gift. We all have it." Mom said, "Come to Zhengping and try it."

"It's so beautiful." Dad said with a smile on his face, "Is this real gold?" he asked doubtfully.[

"18k gold." Fang Monan said.

"Oops! You can't wear this, it will attract thieves. Especially now that there are so many idlers on the street, and public security has become worse. Let's wait and see!" Dad, take it off, put it in the watch box and cover it.

Leave it to mom for safekeeping.

"It's time to put it away. If there are no outsiders, I'm afraid that I'll have to walk up there and be filial to others." My mother said sourly.

"Haha... How can you not! Don't you want to put this away?" Dad was embarrassed and quickly changed his gaze and asked: "Where does this relative of ours come from and be so wealthy?"

Grandma explained it in detail again and warned not to talk nonsense outside.

After Han Zhiqian went back, he sent a lot of brand-new ready-made clothes in the package, both for adults and children. Really! Fang Monan shook her head and declined in her reply. It had already caused a storm in the city.

Wearing these bright clothes will make others jealous.

Fang Monan remembered a short story: a man met God, and God said to him: "Now I can fulfill any of your wishes, but while fulfilling your wishes, your neighbors will get double your benefits.

For example, if you want a piece of farmland, your neighbor will get two pieces of farmland, if you want a house, your neighbor will get two houses." As a result, this person is not willing to let his neighbors take advantage of it.

, and finally he said to God, "Pull out one of my eyes"! In the story, the man thought about it and finally came up with such an incredible answer,

The problem with pink eye is that human nature is like this. People are always full of jealousy. This is how the real society is. You don’t want others to be better than you. Everyone is at the same level. There is nothing to say. If one person suddenly surpasses everyone, you can listen to anything.

arrive.

Standing out from the crowd, the crane is more uncomfortable than the chicken. It has to withstand a lot of pressure from the group. There is a price to pay for being outstanding, so outstanding people often need the ability to protect themselves. So for the time being, stay at this level and don't stand out too much.

After New Year's Day and taking pictures, my dad became even busier when he stayed. It was winter vacation for high school, so I thought I could relax a little. Unexpectedly, the New Year was not far away, and there were more and more people going to the markets around me. Every day, my dad

They were so busy that they hit the back of their heads, but the rewards of their hard work made them happy from ear to ear, tired and happy at the same time.

Fang Monan had free time, running around with his camera, and sometimes even followed his father to the market, "click, click", leaving a souvenir. Sometimes he took a charcoal pen and sketched this happy scene, which was fine.

To practice painting, of course, the most is for souvenirs at home.

In a blink of an eye, the year-end review came. Grandma made more this year than last year and smiled like a flower. Although the steamed bun business declined at first due to following the trend, it gradually picked up and the number of cabbage and pork buns (five cents each) was increased.

), the types of flower rolls, and a careful calculation shows that the income from steamed buns and steamed buns is about more than 4,000 yuan. Of course, she has not told anyone about the money in Fang Monan's passbook, not even her daughter, it is too much money

Yes, she was afraid of scaring them.

Although grandma is uneducated, she has experienced a lot. Perhaps as her granddaughter said, people may not be happy if they have money. Only when they know what they want can money become a tool for them to achieve their goals. Before that, look

With my young daughter and son-in-law, it would be better to have more training. It seems that it is better to let Nan Nan speak for herself about these things.

Of course, my grandma also saw it. As her granddaughter, she didn’t want too many people to see her different side from ordinary people. What she saw was her pampering side like her parents, enjoying their pampering. This also decided that she would no longer

Reveal more things to them.

On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, my grandma summarized her life for the year and her income increased. As soon as winter entered, she prepared ten new cotton quilts for everyone in the family. She took four quilts for her father.

When they got married, her grandma's family was so poor that she didn't even prepare a quilt, so she had plenty of money. This was the first thing she thought of making up for.

The family really feels that the home has changed a lot. Everyone's face is filled with happy smiles and they look forward to a better year.

*********************************

On the twenty-fourth of the twelfth lunar month, it was Fang Monan and Liang Zi’s turn to make their year-end summary.

Liang Zi was a little embarrassed and said: "Nannan, you don't know, our store was relatively popular in the first half year, especially in the county, it has been getting worse and worse in the past few months. The store's sales are only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.

Even if I carry a bag and sell it in various units in the city, I can't sell it for several thousand yuan. I'm really worried that if this continues, we will close down." "The only thing that comforts me is the clothing business."

The thin monkey and the fat man also nodded and said: "Yes, business is a bit difficult. There are more people selling goods in the provincial capital. It turns out that there is no one."

"Well, this is normal. The market in the county has been saturated, and competitors have appeared in the provincial capital, so sales have naturally dropped." Fang Monan said, "We took a head start. No one had seen foreign goods at that time. Let's get them in.

Everyone is interested and buys more. Now everyone is used to it and no longer thinks it is new. In counties and cities, state-owned factories are not profitable, which naturally affects purchasing power. Although there are greenhouse vegetables and breeding industries in rural areas, now

We are still in the development stage, and farmers are still afraid to buy these 'luxury goods' on a large scale."

"Nan Nan, I want to discuss with you. Nowadays, there are more unemployed young people and idle people in the county and the city. It is dangerous for us to go out to sell, after all, we are too conspicuous. So we plan to wholesale goods, so that in

No one dares to cause trouble in our three-thirds of an acre of land." Liang Zi said.

"Well! Last time I went to a county, I met a gangster robbing him, and I got into a fight with him..." The fat man was talking about his 'great achievements' when he was kicked twice by the thin monkey.

"Why are you kicking me! I haven't mentioned the exciting part yet!" The fat man looked at the thin monkey and said dissatisfiedly. When he saw the thin monkey pointing his finger at Fang Monan, he suddenly laughed... and giggled.

"Okay, I won't let you go out and cause trouble, but you can't be bullied anymore. Is Fatty injured?" Fang Monan asked worriedly, pretending not to notice the little actions of the two.

"No... no..., that kid couldn't help but hit me. How could he survive my fists? I beat him away three times, five times five times two times." The fat man remembered the situation at that time, with a look of regret on his face, and blamed the other party for his lack of strength.

, so that he did not enjoy playing.

"Okay, let's do what you said and divide the money. We can wholesale it in the next few days. It's almost the Chinese New Year, so don't go out again." After Fang Monan finished speaking, he divided the money and everyone got nearly

Fifty thousand dollars.

"Brother...Brother Liang Zi, is my eldest brother here?" Fang Monan and the others were about to disperse when they heard someone shouting outside.

"Xiao Mei, your eldest brother is at my house! Come in!" Liang Zi opened the door and said.

Xiaomei rushed in, pulled Pang Dahai and left, "Brother, come home quickly, our mother has fainted."

"What's wrong, who is she?" Before Fang Monan could see who it was, the fat man and her ran out.

"It's Pan Xiaomei, Fatty's sister. It seems like Fatty's mother is sick again." Thin Monkey said worriedly.

"Alas! Fatty's mother wasn't originally seriously ill, but it's a pity that she was delayed because her family was poor." Liang Zi worriedly said: "Skinny Monkey, let's go too and see if we can help."

"Nan Nan, go home first!" Liang Zi said to her.

"Liang Zi, have you forgotten your shoulders?" Fang Monan reminded.

"Ah! You... you can cure it." Liang Zi said in surprise, "Yes! You cured my shoulder. This is Mrs. Pan's disease..."

"We have to see the patient before we talk," Fang Monan said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Liang Zi and the others rode their bicycles, carrying Fang Monan on their backs, and headed towards Fatty's house.

When Fang Monan went to Fatty's house, he went home first and took the medicine box to hide it from others. This medicine box was taken out from the space. It was made of dark wood, antiseptic, and dark brown. It looked like an old antique that was often used.

It gives people a feeling of weight and peace of mind.

Liang Zi carried the medicine box on his back and rode his bicycle, leading Fang Monan towards the edge of the city.

Fang Monan visited Fatty's house for the first time. His house is in a rural area close to the county seat. It's only a 20-minute ride by bicycle. In the small courtyard of the poor farmhouse, there are greenhouses to grow vegetables. You can still hear the crow of chickens in the backyard.

However, it is clear that the life at home has not been significantly improved.

The main house is a three-room adobe house. When you enter, the walls have not been whitewashed yet, with exposed soil and straw. The house is also made of yellow mud that has not been hardened, with pits and bumps, like the surface of the moon, but has been compacted by long-term travel.

The furniture only has a small square table for eating, which seems to have been made by myself, and a few small benches made of wood. There is also an advertisement for a feed factory posted on the dusty wall, for checking the date.

When Liang Zi and the others opened the door curtain and entered the house, they saw the fat man about to carry his mother out.

"Put it down quickly, put it down quickly, let us take a look first." Liang Zi said.

"Brother, we can't delay this. We have to go to the hospital." After hearing what he said, the fat man said quickly.

"Put it down first. It won't be long here. You forgot who cured my arm. I brought the doctor." Liang Zi put the medicine box on the bed and walked over to help put Fatty Niang (fat aunt) back on the bed.

On the bed.

Fang Monan saw that the fat woman's lower limbs were already in the advanced stage of vasculitis. Her legs had ulcers due to severe blood circulation disorders, which had spread upward to the ankle joints or calves. The severe pain made her faint.

.

"Nan Nan, come and see if it can be cured?" Liang Zi made way for Fang Monan to come to the bed. Then he said to the fat man and the thin monkey, "She cured the injury on my shoulder." Yi An Pang said.

The heart of the sea.

The fat man felt relieved when he heard what Liang Zi said. He once heard the old stubborn man say that the person who treated Liang Zi's injuries was very skilled in medicine.

Fang Monan walked over and said, "Bring the scissors and warm up the room."

"Oh!" The fat man quickly brought the scissors, and his sister quickly lit up the fire. When she thought it was not possible, she went to bring the charcoal basin.

Soon the room became warm, and Fang Monan used scissors to cut her pants down to the knee joints. Liang Zi and the others gasped. The legs swelled to black and purple, and some places began to ulcerate.

The fat man looked at her with eager eyes and asked: "Can it be cured? The doctor said it was a serious venous thrombosis and once suggested amputation, but my mother refused to agree. It's better to start taking medicine first. I don't know when it started, but it was just a foot.

I didn’t expect it later.” He choked up and couldn’t continue.

"Fat man, Skinny Monkey, you go out and boil a large pot of hot water. Xiaomei, go find some clean gauze, the best medical one, and alcohol." Fang Monan ordered.

As soon as Fatty and the others heard what she said, they knew it could be cured and ran out quickly.

Fang Monan saw them leaving and said, "Liangzi, help me guard the door. Remember not to let them in."

"Okay! I understand, don't worry!" Liang Zi stood at the door, looking at her.

Fang Monan put the wooden box on the bed. There was not even a decent table in the house. He stretched out his hand and pressed the flower bones on the surface of the box. Hearing a "click", the box cracked a crack from the side.

Ordinary wooden boxes open and close up and down, with a lid on top and a box body below. However, Fang Monan's box opens and closes left and right. The box is first separated from one side, unfolded 180 degrees, and then wrapped around the other side.

The vertical axes on the side are integrated into one, turning into a small standing cabinet, as if we opened a book and then stood the opened book upright on the table.

The vertical cabinet is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. On the upper layer, there are more than ten white porcelain bottles. The porcelain bottles are directly embedded in the recessed base so that there will be no shaking; the lower two layers are drawers, and the middle layer is four

A small drawer, with two larger drawers underneath.

This kind of box is called a medical treasure box, which was an item that doctors in ancient times carried with them when they visited the clinic. The white porcelain bottles on the top layer usually contained trauma medicine and some first-aid medicine for reviving the dead; the four small drawers in the middle were for meteorites.

Acupuncture, cupping and other equipment; one of the two large drawers below holds pens, inks, paper and inkstones for writing prescriptions, and the other holds dry food and medical books in case of emergencies. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient.

It takes several days on the road.

When she got the box, Fang Monan couldn't put it down. It was such a good thing. After she sterilized the acupuncture needles, she looked at the comatose patient and used the needles. She took off her shoes first, climbed onto the bed, and took the patient's needles.

I also took off my shirt. My upper body was skinny and skinny, and it obviously didn’t match my lower body.

I saw her quickly inserting silver needles all over the patient's body, and then she sat on the bed. Unexpectedly, although the patient's bed was broken, it was white and very clean. She took the patient's wrist pulse and began to activate the spiritual energy.

, swim towards the patient’s legs.

Fang Monan used spiritual energy to peer into the affected area, and found that the blood clot was severely blocked, which seemed to require a lot of effort. She took a deep breath and increased the delivery of spiritual energy.
