Seeing that he stopped crying, Jiaojiao hurriedly held up the candied haws on a stick and said, "Brother Song Dong, if you don't cry, you will be happy after eating a sweet candied haws on a stick."

Song Dong's heart warmed up when he heard this. He saw that they were not only grateful but also grateful. They saved him from fire and water time and time again. It would be difficult to repay the kindness in his life.

"Come on, let's eat some candied haws in a cute way." Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and stuffed the bunch of candied haws into Song Dong's hand.

Song Dong looked at the red candied haws, pursed his lips and paused for a moment, then he took a bite of one carefully.

There is a sweet taste in the mouth, and it is slightly sour when you bite it carefully, but it does not seem to be that sweet.

"Is Brother Song Dong delicious?" Jiaojiao bit one in her mouth, her cheeks bulging and she tilted her head and asked with a smile.

Song Dong had a faint smile on his face, nodded and said, "Sweet, very sweet."

When Wang Zhuangzhi saw that the person was okay, he raised his hand to block the sun and said: "The sun is too hot today. If you stay here for a long time, you will get heatstroke. Let's go back to the house."

Song Dong got up quickly after hearing this, "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry for delaying you from following me to bask in the sun."

"You kid, don't think so wildly, and you don't have to be so polite to us..."

When the three of them returned to the drug store, Song Dong's cousin had already left. The old doctor who was attending the clinic had a day off, and the shelves of Nuo Da's drug store were empty.

"Uncle Wang, my cousin secretly sold some medicinal materials to the drug store behind me last night. I took inventory this morning and found out that they were all worthless herbs. I forgot to mention them just now."

After Song Dong finished speaking, he looked remorseful. He was thinking about something just now, but he didn't even think of this matter.

Wang Zhuangzhi shook his head and smiled, waving his hand and saying: "It's okay, let's take a rest today and tomorrow. While it's still early, we can take stock of what's missing and make a list. I'll use these two days to prepare.

”

Song Dong hurriedly responded: "Okay, Uncle Wang, I'll do the statistics."

Wang Zhuangzhi knelt down and told his daughter: "Jiaojiao, follow Brother Song Dong to identify the medicinal materials."

Jiaojiao nodded softly, "Okay."

Song Dong was a little confused after hearing this, but he didn't ask too much. Since Uncle Wang said so, he certainly had his reasons.

Although it was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly outside, so Wang Zhuangzhi was not in a hurry.

Song Dong was recording the medicinal materials with a brush and notebook, and he would read out each one. Jiaojiao stood on the medicine table, listening to Song Dong's name of the medicinal materials while staring at the medicinal materials and memorizing them carefully.

She knows most of the medicinal materials, so she has no difficulty in remembering them.

Because Wang Zhuangzhi didn't understand medicinal materials, he went to the backyard to clean up the house.

There is also a small courtyard behind the drug store. Although it is not big, it has three neatly arranged rooms.

Now that I have bought everything, I will definitely come here often in the future. After all, it is a resting place, and it needs to be tidied up after others have lived there.

Wang Zhuangzhi looked at each one one by one. Except for the hut where Song Dong lived, the other two rooms were so full of stench that Wang Zhuangzhi choked and covered his nose.

Boss Song seemed to be a clean person, but he didn't realize that the room behind him was so stinky and the place he lived in was so messy. The bedding on the bed was dirty and greasy, and the leftovers on the table were all crusted.

Wang Zhuangzhi immediately threw out the smelly bedding and some unused things. He found two rags, went to the well outside to get a bucket of water, and carried it to the house in an iron basin.

Clean up.

He was a big man and could work quickly. There was no furniture in the room, so he packed it up without much effort.

After Wang Zhuangzhi finished cleaning up the house, he took advantage of the bright sun outside and opened the window to let the air dry out the moisture.

The yard was filled with debris that had been collected, so he found a few dry vines, roughly tied them up, carried them on his back and threw them outside.

Shop outside,

"Brother Song Dong, what is the name of this dry white thing? Why does it look the same as the one above?"

Jiaojiao asked, pointing to the medicinal materials in a box.

The dried medicinal materials were so similar that Jiaojiao was dazzled and couldn't tell them apart.

Song Dong was memorizing the medicinal materials. He looked up and explained with a smile: "This is Atractylodes. There are many medicines similar to it. If you are not careful, you will get confused. The texture of Atractylodes is hard, and the surface of the skin is a little light yellow or grayish brown.

, there are some yellowish white spots near the core, the taste is spicy, and it is slightly sticky when you bite it in your mouth."

"Wow, brother Song Dong, you have only been studying for a while, how can you be so good?" Jiaojiao said with great admiration.

Song Dong's smile faded a little, and he pursed his lips and said, "My parents used to run a pharmacy. They have been exposed to herbal medicine since they were young, so they can recognize it."

If he could start his life over again, he would definitely not let his parents treat the patient who brought trouble to their family.

If it weren't for the fact that his medical clinic would not be closed down, and their family wouldn't have to move, nothing would have happened to their parents...

"Dad, why do you carry so many things?"

Jiaojiao's voice interrupted Song Dong's recollection.

Song Dong raised his eyes and saw Wang Zhuangzhi coming out, carrying a lot of things on his back.

He immediately put down his pen and paper and hurried forward to help, "Uncle Wang, these things are dirty, just leave them to me."

Wang Zhuangzhi raised his hand to stop them, held on to the things on his body, and said to them with a smile: "No, you are busy with your business. These things may seem like a lot, but in fact they don't have much weight. I can do it alone."

After that, Wang Zhuangzhi walked straight out of the door.

Song Dong watched Uncle Wang walk out briskly and asked Jiaojiao beside him in surprise: "Uncle Wang, has he always been so strong?"

"Well, dad has always been very strong." Jiaojiao nodded.

When Song Dong heard this, he felt a sense of security inexplicably. Thinking of how Uncle Wang had just asked Jiaojiao to follow him to see the herbal medicine, Song Dong asked curiously: "Jiaojiao, does Uncle Wang want you to learn medical skills?"

"No, there are many herbal medicines in the back of our house. I want to write them down first so that I can find them when I go back." Jiaojiao was playing while looking at the medicine boxes containing herbal medicines.

"I see, then Jiaojiao must have a good memory." Song Dong praised.

Jiaojiao rubbed her cheeks embarrassedly, "Well, it's okay."

……

After counting all the medicinal materials, the sun was almost setting, and Wang Zhuangzhi tidied up the inside and outside of the backyard.

He patted the dust off his body, walked to the front shop and said, "Jiaojiao, let's go home quickly, otherwise your mother and the others should worry."

Jiaojiao was lying on a stool watching Song Dong grinding plaster powder. She quickly turned around when she heard her father's voice, "Oh, here we come."

Song Dong also stopped what he was doing, clapped his hands and stood up quickly, saying, "Uncle Wang, I'll see you off."

Wang Zhuangzhi did not refuse after hearing this. He hugged Jiaojiao and walked out the door. As he walked, he said to Song Dong: "Your cousin has left, and you will be left alone in this shop. If you are afraid of living by yourself, go to the inn in front to stay at night."
