The old woman stood up with the little boy in her arms: "Thank you, Doctor An."
"These are the eggs laid by my old hen at home. See if they can cover the cost of medical treatment. If not, I will give you the money."
There were several eggs lying in the basket in her hand. Villagers in the countryside usually exchange items for money. This old woman was also shabbily dressed, and she looked like she was from a poor family.
An Shuyao did not accept her money, only these eggs: "That's enough."
The old woman then left with the little boy.
This is the first patient to come to the door. An Shuyao, who has not seen a doctor for a long time, feels that this feeling is still unfamiliar.
Her nap was completely disturbed. After thinking about it, An Shuyao went to the wasteland with a hoe. She had to plan how to improve the soil quality.
When An Yunrui saw this, he immediately followed him.
An Hao did not miss this opportunity to play and trotted over to the two of them.
The wasteland is not far from the thatched house. It is three acres wide. The hard mud would probably break a person's forehead if hit with it. There are also tenacious weeds growing on it.
An Shuyao jumped down from the ridge and poked at the ground with a hoe, until a layer of hard soil was formed.
An Yunrui also stepped on it with his feet and felt the hardness of the soil. He hesitated and said: "Yao Yao... why did you buy this land?"
Just give this wasteland away and no one wants it.
"Of course, it's planting. Fourth brother, I have a way to improve the soil. Let's pull out these weeds first. In a few days, I will ask someone to bring us canal mud to soak the soil first."
Even if it rains, the soil will not necessarily become soft, but An Shuyao said it can be changed, so he just followed it and simply helped his sister.
An Shuyao put the hoe to one side and began to bend down to pull out the weeds. An Hao also pulled out the weeds with his little hands.
However, she thought too highly of herself. Neither she nor An Yunrui managed to finish an acre of land in one afternoon. Instead, they were panting from exhaustion.
Her fourth brother couldn't sit still when he moved, lest his wounds would open, so An Shuyao took people home.
The day passed quickly, and their newly built bathhouse finally came into use. Candles were lit inside, and everyone lined up to take a bath.
An Shuyao soaked twenty kilograms of soybeans in a basin.
When it was time to go to bed at night, An Hao ran to find An Yunrui first. An Shuyao, who wanted to catch him sleeping with him, was a step slower.
Lu Jin locked the door and said while undressing: "Will you go to the county tomorrow and bring me some candies and snacks?"
An Shuyao didn't even ask and agreed casually.
After a dreamless night, An Shuyao got up before dawn.
She first looked at her sweet potato starch. After a night of precipitation, she poured out all the sweet potato juice and found the starch at the bottom.
But there wasn't much. She scooped up the starch with a spoon, spread it flat on the sieve, and placed a stool underneath. She kneaded the still wet starch and left it outside to dry.
After the starch dries, she can make sweet potato vermicelli, just in time to make a few bowls of hot and sour noodles.
Everyone in the family got up one after another, and An Shuyao quickly made breakfast. Today he ate hot noodles, and his whole body felt warm after a bowl of them.
The weather outside was dry and cold, and the wind was like a sharp knife. It made people's faces hurt. After Lu Jin dressed neatly, she took her books and set off to school.
He was calm and calm, and An Shuyao was a little nervous. After watching him take An Hao out, she only said one sentence: "Ms. sir, I will bring you food at noon."
Then she turned back to the house, picked up a basket of fungus, and set off. Liu Yuxue and An Yunrui were looking after the house.
Liu Yuxue glanced at him, then turned back to her room and took out two sets of clothes, an inner coat and a gray outer coat. The stitching on the clothes was very detailed, and it looked like they were carefully made.
She handed the clothes to An Yunrui: "Yao Yao asked me to make them for you."
An Yunrui took it with a silly smile on his face: "Thank you, Miss Yuxue."
Liu Yuxue pursed her red lips slightly: "You're welcome, you helped me, even if you make another set of clothes, it's okay."
An Yunrui stood up: "That's not necessary, just enough to wear."
After saying that, he went to his room and put away his clothes. There were few people in the house and it became a lot deserted. She and An Yunrui had nothing to talk about, so she simply went into the room to talk to An Shuyao.
Make a cotton-padded coat.

Village entrance
An Shuyao got on the bus with ease. As soon as Uncle Zhou saw her, he asked, "When can I buy your tofu? It's been several days, and the whole village almost knows that I haven't seen any tofu."
Hearing this, An Shuyao said apologetically: "My family has been repairing the house these past two days and I haven't had time to spare. If you come tomorrow, there will definitely be tofu."
Uncle Zhou smiled: "Okay, I will try it tomorrow."
The bullock cart started, and there were several aunts traveling with it. One of them saw An Shuyao and asked, "Did you treat Aunt Wang's grandson yesterday? I heard that her grandson was much better after using the method you mentioned.
."
Upon hearing this, An Shuyao remembered who it was.
The poor people in the countryside would not deliberately let them buy expensive medicines. Medicinal materials like wild chrysanthemum are very cheap and effective.
So she smiled and said: "The child just has a bad stomach. Just pay attention to his diet and he will be fine."
The aunt continued happily: "Fortunately, you are in the village, otherwise she would have spent a lot of unjust money. Madam Lu, you are really a good person."
The aunts around agreed.
Only then did An Shuyao take a closer look at the aunt who had praised her so much. Her surname was also Shi. She was Shi Huanhuan's third aunt. She was called Shi Sanniang in the village.
Hearing her praise, An Shuyao smiled and said nothing.
Arriving at the county town soon, An Shuyao got out of the car with a basket on her back. When Shi Sanniang saw the large basket covering her back, she said, "Ms. Lu must have gone to do business with a restaurant again. Tsk, that's great. She looks like she's making money."
How come it’s so simple and easy?”
Several aunts joked: "Don't be mean to others. Madam Lu has that ability herself. People with ability can eat anywhere. Okay, let's sell the vegetables quickly and go back in time for noon."
The group of people went their separate ways, and An Shuyao came to Zuixian Pavilion. Compared with last time, there were many fewer people, but the hospitable people on the opposite side were overcrowded.
When Dong Mao saw An Shuyao coming, he beamed with joy and said, "Shopkeeper Ji, Miss An is here."
After he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Ji hurriedly came out and said, "Ms. An, you're here. Did you know that your chicken fungus was purchased by the hospitable steward opposite? What's going on?"
An Shuyao's eyes narrowed slightly. Shi Huanhuan had indeed sold it. Since she wanted to commit suicide, she didn't bother to care about it, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, they will suffer the consequences."
Shopkeeper Ji was stunned for a moment, not understanding what An Shuyao meant. An Shuyao walked in and pointed at the basket: "I brought something new this time. Shopkeeper Ji, why don't you come and take a look at this."
