In the next two days, Bai Banxia did not go out to work at the stall. She was preparing for the exam for her medical license at home. In addition, she occasionally received one or two neighbors who came for follow-up consultations.
Although Bai Banxia said there would be no charge for follow-up consultations, everyone came empty-handed. Some brought a handful of vegetables, some brought a few eggs, and some gave some soybean paste they made, saying that they must try it for Banxia.
taste.
"You must eat more Pinellia ternata. Your little face is pointed. It used to be so round and cute." The old woman with the sprained foot gave her a few eggs. After seeing her today, she stopped coming for a follow-up visit. She is almost healed.
Already.
However, she came to know Mrs. Bai a few times and became familiar with her. She often praised Bai Banxia to Mrs. Bai.
"She insists on being healthy, so now I can't even call her Fat Ya. It makes me happy to call her Fat Ya." Old Mrs. Bai complained.
"Panxia is just too busy and tired. You Banxia are a good and capable boy." The old woman praised.
The old lady nodded, and rarely praised her, "You are becoming more and more sensible, and you are also filial to us."
Bai Banxia had already gone to the backyard to sort out the herbs, but she had good ears and could hear the conversation between the two in the main room, and the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily.
At noon, the old lady suddenly called Bai Banxia in the kitchen.
"Fat girl, come and eat this stewed egg. I steamed it too much and can't eat it."
Bai Banxia walked to the front yard holding back her laughter. She didn't want Sanlang to come back and just hear it, so she hurriedly walked over and said, "Grandma, give me some extra food. I'm exhausted from going to the fields."
The old lady gave him a big look and said, "This is the medical fee I gave Fatty. She said she lost weight and I told her to eat it. Are you willing to eat it?"
"Well, then I've also lost weight." Sanlang said aggrievedly.
"Go, go, I can't see how active you are in working." The old lady blocked the bowl behind her and shouted "Fat Ya" again toward the backyard.
Bai Banxia went over and took the bowl, "Thank you, grandma."
"It's not steamed for you. Originally, your grandpa wanted to eat it, but he said he couldn't eat it anymore." The old lady said stubbornly and took another small bowl to give to Xiaocao.
The old man was doing Tai Chi in the yard and said helplessly: "When did I say that?"
The old lady glared at him and said, "You are old and have bad memory. I told you this morning."
"Okay, okay, I'm old." The old man admitted dumbfounded.
Bai Banxia smiled and showed her white teeth. The old man was really very indulgent towards the old lady.
This is preference, this is pampering.
She took a spoon to eat the stewed eggs, and saw Sanlang staring at the bowl in her hand aggrievedly, like a poor child who hadn't eaten for several days.
She finally took a small bowl, divided half of it out, handed it to him and said, "You have been training very hard recently, this is a reward for you."
Saburo's eyes widened in surprise, but since he was born with small eyes and single eyelids, it didn't look much bigger if he stared like this.
"You really want to eat it for me? Please make it clear. Don't look back and grandma thinks I'm robbing you." He was a little afraid to accept it.
Bai Banxia gave him a big eye roll, "Can you rob me?"
Sanlang scratched his head and said, "That's right, thank you."
He took the bowl and finished it in a few seconds, fearing that Bai Banxia would regret it.
If he had listened to his mother and not gone to the defense team training, Bai Banxia would not have shared half of his stewed eggs today. Seeing that he had been working hard recently and had indeed lost some weight, Bai Banxia had only shared half with him.
.
After Bai Banxia finished his half, he put the bowl on the stove and said to Saburo, "Go and wash the bowl."
"Isn't that what women do? I won't wash it." Saburo resisted.
It goes without saying that he learned this from his father, who doesn't have much ability and is very chauvinistic.
"You have to work after you eat for free. Wash it when I ask you to, otherwise I won't treat you differently next time." Bai Banxia said fiercely.
As soon as Sanlang said this, he immediately became scared. He was at the age when he could eat, so he immediately went to work obediently when he heard that he was eating.
"My father also washes dishes, and my uncle also washes dishes, so why can't he be a man? Don't always think that women should do everything. Only when a man knows how to respect women can he be called a man. Look at how kind your grandpa is to your grandma. Do you know how to learn from this?
Okay?" Bai Banxia said seriously.
I hope Saburo can still be saved and avoid beating his wife like his father in the future.
Sanlang didn't say anything or expressed his approval, but he still washed the dishes and sent them back to the kitchen.
After that, Bai Banxia went to prepare medicine for a while, and her parents also returned from the stall.
She looked up at the sky. It was going to rain. Why hasn't Qi Zhen come back yet?
Qi Zhen always goes to the mountains recently, and occasionally brings back a pheasant, rabbit or something, but it is definitely not hunting, it seems mysterious.
She thought for a while, told her parents, and walked towards the back mountain.
When she got up the mountain, she shouted to Qi Zhen, and soon Qi Zhen appeared from the mountain and rushed to her.
There were some sawdust in his hair, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, and even the corners of his lips were raised, obviously he was in a good mood.
"What are you doing? Why are your hands behind your back?" Bai Banxia reached out to pull his arm, then suddenly jumped behind him to take a peek.
In fact, Qi Zhen didn't want to hide it anymore. He originally planned to go back and give it to her, but he didn't want her to find it by herself. Maybe it was a tacit understanding?
"This is..." Bai Banxia's eyes lit up, "Medicine kit?"
Qi Zhen handed it to her, "See if it fits."
"Wow, you did this?" She finally knew why there were sawdust in his hair.
She reached out and touched the medicine box. The surface was polished extremely smooth and waxed.
Qi Zhen grinned, "Did you feel it out? I applied beeswax and polished it carefully for a day. I even took out two honeycombs for this."
Bai Banxia nodded vigorously, "I found it!"
"Open it and take a look." Qi Zhen said, helping her open the lid and introducing her, "The first layer is for your commonly used tools, such as paper and pens for prescribing medicine, needle bags, scissors, etc. The lid is tightly sealed, so don't worry.
I’m worried that things will be messed up.”
As he said that, he opened the second layer, "You can put some commonly used medicinal materials here, and bottles and jars below. I didn't separate the last layer. You can change it according to your needs."
He looked at her nervously and asked, "What do you think? Is it enough?"
"It's enough! It's definitely enough!" Bai Banxia liked this medicine kit so much. She stretched out her hand and touched it again and again, looking at this layer and then that layer. Her love was beyond words.
When Qi Zhen saw that she really liked her, his eyes widened with laughter and he also became happy.
She reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you. I didn't realize you were so good at carpentry. You really have skillful hands!"
"It's not bad." He wouldn't say that he failed many times in the beginning.
Bai Banxia smiled at him and reached out to pick up the sawdust from his hair, "Thank you for your hard work."
