In rural areas, borrowing medicine cans is very particular, which means disease and disaster. Others borrow medicine cans to boil medicine, which means that if someone in the family is sick, the disease and bad luck will be taken away, which is a good thing for those who borrow medicine cans. However, this jar can only be returned to its owner after the owner personally asks for it. If it is delivered to the door voluntarily, it means that bad luck will be delivered to the door and the owner will be unhappy.
Five,
As the old saying goes, "It's easy to borrow, but it's not difficult to borrow again!"
However, some things are easy to borrow, but they haven't come back yet. For example, if the Chinese medicine jar is used up, return it immediately, not to mention borrowing it again. It is estimated that the master will never talk to you again.
There was a family named Liu in zhang jia zhuang in Qing Dynasty. Because it is a foreign surname, everything in their family is very complete.
Whether it's farm tools or daily necessities, his family spent a lot of money to buy one, for no other reason than not to let people in zhang jia zhuang look down on themselves. Even things that are not commonly used, they have them at home. Borrowing them from neighbors is also a way to enhance their feelings.
As a foreigner, the house built by the Liu family at the southern end of the village is the farmland behind the Liu family, so people who work in the fields forget to bring any tools to borrow from the Liu family. The Liu family is not stingy.
But Zhang San was the only one who didn't go to his house for fear of being beaten. The two families and three generations did not respond, and the story had to start with Zhang San's grandfather.
Zhang Zheng, Zhang San's grandfather, was a dutiful son when he was young, but he acted recklessly and was notoriously unruly. No one was perfect. Even so, many people in the village like him very much. After all, this person can't tell lies, and his work is quite clear. It doesn't matter if he breaks the rules occasionally, and others won't say anything.
Perhaps it is because of this environment that Zhang Zheng suddenly broke a rule concerning human life, so that three generations later, the two families still did not respond.
That year, Zhang Zheng's father fell ill. Zhang Zheng walked dozens of miles to the town to buy Chinese medicine, but Zhang Zheng forgot to buy a medicine jar, so he had no choice but to borrow it.
I visited several houses and didn't borrow them. Finally, I heard from my neighbor that the old man Liu was also ill and had been cooking medicine recently. There must be a medicine can in his house.
Zhang Zheng went, and as a result, the Liu family really had it. They just used it up and gave it to Zhang Zheng without thinking.
Zhang Zheng politely said to Liu Erge, "Second Brother, when I finish writing, I will brush it and send it to you!"
Brother Liu shook his head and said, "Just leave it at your house. If we use it, I'll get it myself! " "
Zhang Zheng thought Liu Jiaer's words were polite, so he went home to cook medicine for his old father without saying anything.
Time flies, half a month has passed, my father's illness has almost recovered, and the medicine has been eaten. Brush the medicine pot and prepare to send it to the Liu family.
Holding the jar out of the door, I met the old village head on.
Zhang Zheng, what are you doing? The old village head looked at Zhang Zheng with a medicine can and asked him knowingly. He knew that Zhang was a notoriously reckless person, but he didn't expect that Zhang Zhenglian didn't even understand this rule.
"SEC. Uncle, I want to send a medicine can to Liu's second brother. When I run out, I have to give it to others so that I can borrow it and return it. It is not difficult to borrow it again! "
When Zhang Zheng's words came out, the old village head was angry at that time. It seems that what he was worried about really happened, so he quickly stopped Zhang Zheng.
"Don't give it to others, put it in your own home, and he will come and get it himself if he needs it!" The old village head took Zhang Zheng and said.
"The second uncle, it's impossible. We can't bully people. People kindly lend it to us, and we have to pay it back! "
Zhang Zheng thought that the old village chief wouldn't let him return the jar because it was a bit bullying Liu's family, so he didn't want to return it.
"What nonsense? If I want to bully his Liu family, will I let them settle in zhang jia zhuang? It is a rule that medicine cans can be borrowed but not returned. You can listen or not! "
Suspected by Zhang Zheng, the old village head was also angry. He left this message, turned around and left.
But whether the old village chief was angry or not, Zhang Zheng sent the medicine jar to the Liu family.
At first, the old man in Liu's family was a little angry when he came to deliver the medicine cans, but everyone knew that Zhang was a notorious bad rule, so he didn't say anything.
However, it happened so coincidentally that the old man in Liu's family fell ill again after being sent to the medicine jar. This time, nothing worked. Seven days later, the old man died.
