Chapter 2, The Rocking Chair

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Most symptoms of anemia in childhood will gradually improve in adulthood. This condition should not be treated with hasty supplementation or indiscriminate medication. In fact, simply paying attention to nutrition and diet in daily life is sufficient.

Moreover, Zhang Yang never drinks raw water; he only agrees to drink it after it has been boiled.

Then hollow out the marked positions on the two wooden strips

Zhang Yang casually tossed the medicinal herbs aside

Her expression was quite stubborn, and it seemed that refusing was not an option. In any case, there were other matters to attend to at home today

On one side of the courtyard lives Aunt Wang, and on the other side lives Aunt Yang

Zhang Yang plans to create a stove that can accommodate two pots

Li Yue sat on the chair, propping her chin on her hand, and blinked her charming eyes.

Engaging in a verbal spar with him is quite a strenuous task; I have never won, so I have given up

Zhang Yang returned to his backyard to continue working with the mud, having completed half of the stove.

After finishing her breakfast, Li Yue took out a scroll of books from her home, which contained several short stories

I have become accustomed to the rule that Zhang Yang must wash his hands before meals

Li Yue sat in the rocking chair, comfortably squinting her eyes, and could sit like this until dark without getting tired of it

What if I really fall?

The neighbors are very warm-hearted and occasionally bring over some items

At this time, Li Yue always wears a stern expression; she does not appreciate her neighbor's goodwill.

This corner of the house is empty; it would be better to make use of it

The stone that had been weighing on Li Shimin's mind finally fell.

No matter what it is, once it reaches Zhang Yang's hands, it can always be repaired, and he can also turn waste into treasure

I support you

Earn money for a day's work; most laborers are engaged in short-term jobs

The street in front of the house is very quiet

In the city of Chang'an, there are many people like Zhang Yang, who seek work every day

Zhang Yang tried it himself first and found it quite sturdy

Zhang Yang stepped forward to take the medicinal herbs and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wang"

Li Yue was sipping the vegetable porridge intermittently, her gaze fixed on Zhang Yang, ready to lose her temper at any moment if he dared to step outside to do manual labor

Many earthen stoves have been seen in later generations, and there are various styles.

Slowly opening her eyes, Li Yue and the book saw Zhang Yang's face illuminated by the sunlight, with some sweat still on his face

What are you going to do again

One wonders where a poor man like him acquired such a refined taste

On weekdays, Zhang Yang would tell some small stories. After listening to these stories, Li Yue would secretly write them down, such as the story of the farmer and the snake, the story of the three monks who had no water to drink, and the story of the crow drinking water.

Will fall down!

Did you not say you would support me

Empress Changsun later entered the hall and presented a bowl of soup to Li Shimin, saying: "Your Majesty, do not tire yourself too much"

Zhang Yang carefully carved the wood and said, "I plan to make some changes to the chair. This chair is a bit too high. I'll also make it into a rocking chair."

Li Shimin set down his pen and said, "Those state affairs I must keep a close watch on"

Li Yue has had poor health since she was young. She practically grew up drinking medicine.

Empress Changsun sat down beside and said, "I wonder how Yu'er is doing with her illness"

After measuring the dimensions, make proper markings.

The stove made by Zhang Yang has a small ventilation opening at the bottom, and a minor adjustment can make the stove more efficient

Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang are both without husbands, yet they do not worry about their daily sustenance. They had just met Li Yue when they started living here.

Li Yue approached holding a scroll and asked, "Can this chair be sat on?"

Zhang Yang said, "The most important thing about sitting in this type of chair is to relax. You must not be nervous."

Li Yue carefully sat on the rocking chair, which swayed back and forth with her shifting weight. Each time it rocked backward, she had to grip the armrests tightly

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "If you need anything, just let Aunt Wang know."

That is intentional on your part

It is said that a group of people caused a disturbance here, and within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, they were taken away by the authorities

The couple's life is very peaceful

Would you like to give it a try?

Compared to previous years, this year's grain harvest can be considered relatively abundant

Then trim a section off the chair leg

Li Yue thought about relaxing her body, completely resting her weight on the chair, tilting the rocking chair back for a moment before rocking it forward again

The returns are not very high, nor are they stable

These stories may appear simple, but the principles they reflect are profound and worthy of deep contemplation

He served himself a bowl of porridge, and Zhang Yang took a sip of the porridge and a bite of the pancake, making do with breakfast in this manner

Li Yue washed her face with clean water, and her somewhat youthful face instantly appeared much fresher, with her eyes also showing a newfound vitality

Li Yue withdrew her gaze, knowing that Zhang Yang possessed a very special ability

Upon mentioning Yue'er, Li Shimin let out a long sigh. Yue'er had been frail since childhood, and the physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau had stated that she might not live to adulthood

After Zhang Yang finished planing the wooden strips, he joined several pieces of wood together

Moreover, during the Tang Dynasty, working as a laborer meant that the supervision was so strict that you couldn't even think of slacking off

Walking north along Zhuque Avenue leads directly to Chengtian Gate, and behind Chengtian Gate lies the most esteemed place of the Tang Dynasty

By fastening two wooden strips to the legs of a chair, a rocking chair is completed

... ...

Zhang Yang carefully adjusted a stone, trying to make it as flat as possible so that it would be secure when laid in place

That stove is different from ordinary stoves

It is said that one must maintain hygiene

You didn't fall again. And * picture * book

That works.

Li Shimin sat in the Ganlu Hall, reviewing the memorials sent from various regions, which detailed the autumn harvest conditions of each county this year

Zhang Yang has always had a rule: one must wash their hands before meals

The public security efficiency of our Tang Dynasty is indeed exceptionally high

Li Yue listened to Zhang Yang's words, relaxing herself. After the rocking of the chair diminished, it became much more stable.

If at this moment he does not listen to her and goes out to do hard labor to earn money, she will throw a tantrum and ignore him for a whole day and night.

Zhang Yang said: "First, wash your hands and face"

A woman walked to the door, holding a bag in her hand, and called out to Zhang Yang in the yard: "Here are some medicinal herbs, said to be good for replenishing qi and blood, let your wife give them a try"

Most of the items in the house were made by Zhang Yang, including the small clay stove in the home

As if deliberately avoiding this place

I do not know what is happening, but everyone seems to prefer taking a longer route rather than passing through here

Zhang Yang said as he served the cooked porridge to her: "If I don't work, what will the family eat"

Li Yue turned to look at Zhang Yang, who was currently carving a pile of wood.

It is possible that Zhang Yang is supporting from behind
