While Xiao Chen and Master were chatting in the pharmacy, Mrs. Xiao Chen was outside with Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan.
When they first saw Master Xiao Chen, Tang Bing and Mo Xiaowan were both surprised. Isn't this Master too young?
Moreover, according to what Xiao Chen said, his mistress is almost fifty, but looking at her dress, she is only about thirty, so it looks like mistress Xiao Chen is really young.
"Master's wife, I think you really want to be like my sister." Tang Bing said.
"Xiao Bing, didn't you see my daughter Shang Shang in Binhai City?"
"I've seen him a few times."
This Mistress Xiao Chen indeed looks like a younger version of Xiao Shang Shang.
Of course, Master Xiao Chen's temperament is still different from Xiao Shangshang's.
At first, Tang Bing wanted to buy a set of elderly clothes for Mrs. Xiao Chen, but now it seems that she listened to Xiao Chen's advice, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to buy those clothes worn by old women.
"Master Wife, this is my gift to you, two sets of winter skirts."
Winter skirt?
Mrs. Xiao Chen has not gone out to buy clothes for a long time. The clothes she is wearing now are actually cut from cloth by herself. Compared with those real clothes, they still look a bit rough.
When Mrs. Xiao Chen took it and touched it, she found that it was very warm and soft. It was obviously made of real silk.
"Isn't this clothes expensive?"
“It’s not very expensive either.”
In fact, they cost several thousand yuan each, so they are certainly not cheap.
Seeing Tang Bing's expression, Mrs. Xiao Chen could tell.
Of course, now Master Xiao Chen is Master Xiao Chen on the surface, but in fact, she is almost the same as her biological mother.
After she took it over and said, "Xiao Bing, thank you."
"Ah, Auntie, I also bought some for you."
Mo Xiaowan didn't call the other party's wife, but aunt.
This title of aunt is gender-neutral, just like in foreign countries, it is basically divided according to age. The younger ones are called little sister and little sister, the older ones are called aunty, and the older ones are called grandma.
"Xiaowan, yours is not bad either."
What Mo Xiaowan gave to Mrs. Xiao Chen were two scarves, which were very warm to wear around the neck. There were also gloves and socks, all in one set, which should be very warm to wear.
Then take out the clothes given to Master Xiao Chen, such as Tang suits and shoes.
At that time, Mrs. Xiao Chen thanked these two people and took back a lot of other New Year gifts.
These are hard to find in nearby towns.
After Mrs. Xiao Chen took those things back to the room, the three of them had just come back and had traveled through the mountains. They must not have had lunch yet. She planned to make lunch first and then let the two women go back to the room to rest.
Tang Bing is just an ordinary woman, and it is not easy to cross the mountains and ridges to get in. And Mo Xiaowan is a patient, and it is even more difficult.
When Mrs. Xiao Chen was making lunch in the kitchen, Mo Xiaowan and Tang Bing went over to help.
"Master Wife, I usually cook and stir-fry, so I can help you."
Tang Bing said.
"I can do it." Mo Xiaowan said.
Xiao Chen bought some food gifts from outside, and he can take them out now.
Of course, what Master Xiao Chen and his wife usually eat are mostly given by the villagers.
Such as salted fish, bacon, vegetables grown by oneself, as well as wild vegetables and mushrooms picked outside, it can be said that life is very light.
Why live like that?
I'm afraid only these two people know.
At this time, Xiao Chen, who was in the pharmacy, talked to his master about the situation outside for almost half a year.
These include treating illnesses and saving people, and meeting senior sister Xiao Shangshang.
"If the merchant doesn't want to come back, forget it."
With the three choices he made, he knew his daughter would be fine.
"Master, I am worried about my senior sister's safety. I will find a way to get her out of that organization."
"You can do whatever you want. Anyway, your wife and I will never leave Xiaojia Village in this life."
"Why?"
Xiao Chen has been dealing with this issue for nearly eighteen years. He has never understood why his master and his wife were so capable, so why did they not plan to leave Xiaojiacun?
Most of the time, it was the patients who came here to seek medical treatment. When there was really no other way, Xiao Chen knew that Master would go out to treat the patients nearby.
But, basically, after the patient has finished the treatment, he will leave and come back.
"Our own choice, you will know later."
Master Xiao Chen said lightly.
When we talked about the jade book that Xiao Chen showed to Master, Master Xiao Chen said: "Your jade book
, I can only understand a little bit, and the records should probably be about witch doctor skills during the Huangdi and Chi You periods."
"Then Master, is this medical skill really powerful?"
"I'm afraid it's much more powerful than what I taught you, but I can't fully translate it yet."
In that case, Xiao Chen was not in a hurry.
When Xiao Chen came out of the pharmacy and went outside and saw Tang Bing and his wife busy in the kitchen, Xiao Chen went over and asked: "Master's wife, I have asked about the salted fish you made."
"You haven't been fascinated by the food in the outside world?"
"No matter how delicious it is, it's not as delicious as the one made by my wife."
After Mrs. Xiao Chen cooked several dishes and a wild vegetable soup, she brought them out and ate them outside beside the plum blossoms.
When Xiao Chen went over to ask Master to eat together, the two of them had already eaten and were not hungry now.
While Xiao Chen and the three of them were sitting there eating, Xiao Chen's wife went back and gave him all the things Xiao Chen brought back for his wife, and saw the two sets of Tang suits.
It was fine, but he knew he couldn't wear it.
"It's better for us to have a simple meal. I'm afraid of backlash. I'll give these good clothes to the elderly in the village."
"Do you want those two sets of skirts Xiaobing gave me?"
"Of course, we chose it ourselves."
Mrs. Xiao Chen's expression could only calm down. She knew that this was the choice she and her husband made at the beginning. They must endure loneliness and poverty, otherwise, they may suffer backlash and no one can save them.
Of course, now that Xiao Chen and the other three are here, they will not give it directly to the elderly in the village. Instead, they will wait until Xiao Chen and the other three leave Xiaojia Village and then give it to them.
Anyway, it's been this way for the past few years, and the two of them have gotten used to it.
Xiao Chen's filial piety made the two of them very happy. From this point of view, the two of them felt very satisfied.
"Sister Tang Bing, sister Xiaowan, what do you think, eat more." Xiao Chen said.
Here, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the world is like a peach blossom garden, especially the white plum blossoms in front of them. The two girls find it really a bit like a dream. Now Tang Bing also understands why her grandfather has been obsessed with Xiaojiacun and can't forget it for so many years.
, perhaps it is for this reason.
Now Tang Bing began to envy Master Xiao Chen and his wife for living here for so many years, and she almost wanted to stay in this place.
