Because of Hu Zi, the Wanghe villagers did not notice that there was an extra person in Li Hui’s family.
These days, life is quite peaceful.
Cheng Xue concentrates on cooking, Li Yue concentrates on making clothes, Li Hui concentrates on accounting, and Li Heng and Li Tian concentrate on chatting with Xiao Qinglin.
Xiao Qinglin is also reliable and is very patient with children.
Thanks to him, the Li family's food standards have skyrocketed recently.
The four children have gained weight visibly. Cheng Xue and Li Hui have also recovered a lot of their physical strength. Even the fur color of the tiger at home is much brighter than when they first arrived.
Li Lixue chatted with Li Hui in private, and the two joked that Xiao Qinglin was the tiger's own ration.
Otherwise, it was such a coincidence that it found him when he was having fun, and it would eat well when he came home.
After breakfast that day, Li Hui changed Xiao Qinglin's dressing.
Seeing that the wound had scabbed over, he asked:
"What are you going to do next? Go to the county alone, or wait for us to go together?"
Xiao Qinglin shook his head, took off the jade pendant from his neck, put it in his hand and said:
"I heard that my sister-in-law is going to town to get medicine tomorrow. Please go to a shop called Jinxiang Pavilion and give it to the steward. The steward will know what to do after seeing it."
"Okay." Li Hui took the jade pendant, put it away, and continued to apply the medicine.
Xiao Qinglin felt guilty and said again:
"Brother Li Hui, please rest assured that when my second uncle takes over the forest farm, I will never treat you badly."
Li Hui shook his head hurriedly——
"No, thank you for your kindness first. I will prepare for the scientific examination next spring and do not plan to stay at the forest farm forever."
"Do you want to earn a future for your family?"
"Yes." Li Hui nodded, not hiding his ambition.
Xiao Qinglin also has to take the scientific examination, and he just won the exam this year.
This visit to Liaodong was an experience arranged by his family to broaden his horizons. Unexpectedly, he failed to succeed and almost died.
"Since Brother Li Hui has a plan in mind, Qinglin won't force it. I will let the second uncle keep the position for the elder brother. Qinglin will also help with your family's situation in the village."
"I won't bother you with the village affairs. If you are convenient, I have paper and pen. You can write a letter to the steward of Jinxiang Pavilion, so that my wife will not be able to see anyone when she goes tomorrow."
Good steel should be used on the blade.
A mere Wanghe Village is not worth this kindness.
Xiao Qinglin heard what he said and said readily:
"Then please ask Brother Li Hui to write and write. I will write a letter right away."
Li Hui put on his belt and went out to get paper and pen.
When he saw Xiao Qinglin's powerful words, he understood the difference between this body and others.
Regardless of being five years older than him, his vision, resources, family background and other factors, not a Yeluzi player can compete with him. Although the original owner's handwriting is also good.
Just like him and his teammates, he has never dared to mention their mutual lives in modern times, for fear that his teammates would misunderstand that he was showing off.
That woman was too sensitive and too assertive, which was actually to cover up her inferiority. There were several times when his words came to his lips, but he had to swallow them in the end.
The relationship between the two is becoming increasingly harmonious, and he does not dare to take risks, let alone take risks.
"Brother Li Hui, I'll leave it to my sister-in-law tomorrow."
Xiao Qinglin's voice brought him back to reality, he looked at the packaged letter, took it and said:
"Tell me before you leave. My wife wants to thank you very much. Our family has been eating well these days because of you, and I feel really sorry."
"Brother, I feel ashamed when I say that. I should say I am grateful..."
"Hey, okay, okay, let's talk about it like this, you go to bed early."
Li Hui stood up and left. Xiao Qinglin looked at the closed door and shook his head helplessly.
The farmer is really honest. Just a few meals are more important than saving his life. He is so honest...
……
After breakfast the next day, Cheng Xue set off for Shushan Town.
After exchanging the banknotes, I went to Deji Hall and felt something different as soon as I entered the room.
The waiters and medicine boys in the hall are busy.
Some of the medicine cabinets are fully drawn, some are half drawn, and some are empty.
There were not as many doctors as usual, but the doctor who treated her was still there, bowing his head and writing furiously.
Cheng Xue walked over and sat down——
"Good morning, Mr. Lu."
"Yo, you're here."
Doctor Lu brought the pulse pillow, felt the pulse for a moment and then nodded slowly.
"Not bad, I'm recovering well. I can take off some medicine this time. How have you been sleeping lately? Are you still dreaming?"
"I won't do it anymore. I've been sleeping well and eating well recently, and it's even better than the last time I came here."
"You are so young after all!" Mr. Lu sighed and started writing.
After checking it, he said while blowing:
"Some of the medicines are gone, and some are out of stock in the store. I'll use other medicines instead. There's no difference in the medicine's efficacy, so you don't have to worry. I'll prescribe you a ten-day supply this time. I'll check back in ten days. I guess
The medicinal ingredients will be ready by then."
Deji Tang is short of medicine? Unheard of!
Cheng Xue pursed her lips, finally unable to restrain her curiosity, and asked in a low voice:
"Sir, what happened in the medicine hall? Is our family still short of medicine?"
The words "our family" brought the distance closer, and Mr. Lu smiled bitterly and nodded.
"There is fighting in the south and tension in the north. A few days ago, Beijing issued an order to order the Marquis of Zhenbei to garrison in the north. Our boss is the marquis's nephew, so all the medicinal materials in the medicine hall are close to the northern garrison camp. It is expected to be in ten days.
Well, the goods can be replenished. You came too early last time. If you are one day late, I can open it for you for a few more days."
"It's okay, my home is close, and we have a long way to go." Cheng Xue didn't care at all.
Anyway, after they finish drinking these medicines, it's time for them to set off for Pingyang County. Then let the doctor in the county take a look at it. If they are interested, the medicines there are all available.
With the current situation, I'm afraid it won't be long before conscription begins. Fortunately, Li Hui told Dong Cheng and Guo Dake the news.
No sound was heard from the Guo family. However, Dong Cheng's two younger brothers entered the forest farm a few days ago.
Go home and remind her again. Whether she listens or not is none of her business.
There was only enough aconite for eight pairs of medicines, so she just grabbed eight pairs and spent five taels of silver.
After asking about the location of Jinxiang Pavilion, Cheng Xue waved to Mr. Lu and left Deji Hall.
Across two streets is Jinxiang Pavilion. It turns out that jewelry is sold here.
The door of the store is very wide, and the plaque is very impressive. At first glance, it seems that it is not a place that ordinary people like her can afford.
Stepping into the store, the first thing that catches your eye is the dazzling array of jewelry on the counter.
Gold, silver, precious stones, agate, emerald...
Everyone has a love for beauty.
Cheng Xue looked at various jewelry with a little desire in her eyes.
"Hey, little lady, you want to buy some jewelry? Just tell me whoever is in the photo. Just looking at it won't do it, so I have to wear it. The more I wear it, the brighter it becomes. It depends on its popularity."
The guy is very talkative and has a gentle attitude, without looking down on anyone at all.
Cheng Xue took out the letter and the jade pendant, handed them over with a smile and said:
"Please help me to put these two things in your care. Just say my surname is Xiao."
When the waiter heard "Xiao", he immediately handed over his hand and asked Cheng Xue to go to the backyard...
