Chapter 196 Keeping each other warm
"I made a lot of money selling fish at my grandfather's house before, but I used up all my savings to build a new house. Now I don't have any money left."
After saying that, An Yue smiled and said coquettishly: "Hehe... From now on, I can only rely on digging herbs to exchange for money from uncle and aunt!"
Doctor Zhang looked solemn after hearing this. He stood up and walked towards the counter thoughtfully.
Seeing her husband's strange look, the lady quickly said to Anyue to avoid embarrassment, "Yueyue, I just went to weigh the Ophiopogon japonicus with the girl behind you. The total weight is eight kilograms. I will go and get the money for you now."
After the lady finished speaking, she also stood up and walked towards the counter.
When she walked to the counter, she saw her husband rummaging through the medicine cabinet and asked, "You were fine just now, why did you leave without saying a word?"
Doctor Zhang was rummaging through the medicine cabinet while he said to his wife, "Madam, please ask Yueyue to wait there for a while. I'll go over and talk to her in a moment."
"That's fine. Oh, by the way, how much is one pound of Yueyue's Ophiopogon japonicus?"
"Send it here every month. The dried ones are sold at eighty-five coins per pound." Doctor Zhang was still searching.
The lady adjusted the abacus and counted out six hundred and eighty coins from the silver box, then walked towards Anyue with the silver.
"Yueyue, Maidong will charge you 85 coins per pound, what do you think?"
"Aunt, isn't this a bit too much?" An Yue said a little embarrassedly.
The lady smiled and said, "Eighty-five coins a pound, it's not much to give Yueyue."
After the lady finished speaking, she handed the copper coin in her hand to An Yue: "This is 680 coins, Yue Yue, check if the number is correct."
She continued, "Oh, by the way, your uncle told you to wait for him here for a while. He seems to have something to discuss with you."
An Yue smiled and nodded.
An Yue looked at Chunzhi standing aside for a long time. She pointed at the round stool and said to Chunzhi: "Chunzhi, you sit down too!"
Madam asked curiously, "Yueyue, who is this girl?"
"This is Yueyue's distant relative. Not long ago, her family suffered a disaster, so she came here specifically to seek refuge with Yueyue." An Yue planned to use this excuse in the future.
"Oh I got it."
At this time, Doctor Zhang walked to the small round table with a piece of paper in his hand and sat down.
"Yueyue, bring these herbs here. Uncle will buy them at a high price."
After Doctor Zhang finished speaking, he handed the paper in his hand to An Yue to look at.
An Yue took it and read it, "Cicada molt, motherwort, honeysuckle, plantain..."
Looking at the various herbs written on the paper, An Yue thought for a moment, and then said, "Uncle, when do you need these herbs? How many kilograms do you need?"
"We can deliver 10 to 30 kilograms of dried plantain every month. The rest can be delivered as you wish. We will deliver as much as we can pick!"
The wife glanced at her husband, and they smiled at each other. Doctor Zhang continued, "Yueyue, there's no rush for these herbs. Just send them to uncle whenever you have them."
After hearing this, An Yue seemed to understand something.
She quickly stood up and saluted to Dr. Zhang and his wife, saying, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, thank you for your help!"
Doctor Zhang quickly helped An Yue to sit up straight, fearing that she might have some psychological burden.
So he said, "You're welcome, Yueyue. These are the herbs needed in the pharmacy. It's not really a favor."
Madam stood up and helped An Yue tidy up her hair. She looked at An Yue thoughtfully and said, "Yue Yue, please come visit us more often in the future. Auntie will be happier than anything else."
An Yue nodded repeatedly: "Yueyue remembers, when I have free time, I will often come to bother you and uncle. When that happens, please don't think Yueyue is annoying."
The lady laughed and said, "We really hope that you and Nian Nian can live with us here!"
At this time, a customer who wanted to see a doctor and get medicine came from outside the shop.
An Yue looked up and saw that it was already the Si hour.
She stood up quickly and said to the couple, "Uncle and Aunt, it's getting late now. Yueyue can't bother you with your business anymore. We have to go to the street to buy some other things. We'll leave now and come back to see you another day."
"Okay, okay, Yueyue has some medicinal herbs in her hands, but you must remember to bring them to uncle." Doctor Zhang said while standing behind the counter.
An Yue smiled playfully and said, "Of course."
After saying that, Anyue and Chunzhi carried their backpacks on their backs, and the lady reluctantly saw Anyue out of the shop.
This time, the lady no longer cried, but stood outside the shop, waved to An Yue with a smile, and watched her until she disappeared from the end of her sight.
An Yue led Chunzhi towards the street on the left front in the direction of the west of the town.
Chunzhi saw that An Yue had such a close relationship with the couple in the pharmacy, so she asked curiously, "Miss, are you related to them?"
"No, but it seems so. Um... the feelings between us can only be felt, not expressed in words."
After hearing what An Yue said, Chunzhi scratched her head and became even more confused.
An Yue murmured as she walked, "Maybe we can find plantain and honeysuckle at the moment. Motherwort is still too tender to be used as medicine, and cicada shells will only be available in summer."
"Miss, you are amazing! You can read and recognize medicinal herbs. Chunzhi didn't recognize any of the herbs you just read out."
"It's okay, it's okay. Come with me to pick herbs in the future, and you will recognize them naturally." An Yue turned around and comforted Chunzhi.
Chunzhi raised her head and looked around, then asked, "Miss, where are we going?"
"We'll be there soon." An Yue said, pointing to the street not far away.
They came to the firecracker shop, and Chunzhi stayed outside the shop waiting.
An Yue was outside the shop and called out, "Uncle, uncle, are you there?"
"Who is it?" Zhong's voice was heard from afar coming from the backyard.
An Yue walked towards the direction where the voice came from and said, "Aunt, I'm An Yue."
When Zhong and An Yue met, Zhong greeted them warmly: "Oh! It's Yue Yue! Come here quickly."
Zhong took An Yue's hand and walked towards the backyard.
......
Several people sat under the grape vine trellis in the backyard, chatting with each other.
A quarter of an hour later, An Yue saw that it was getting late, so she asked, "Uncle, when will Uncle Lin Hua return from the county town?"
Lin Qingxue said, "He usually comes back every seven days. I think he will be back the day after tomorrow. Is there something Yueyue wants to talk to your uncle about?"
"Yes! Yueyue wants uncle to help her take some things to the county town."
"I see. Then Yueyue can just bring the things she needs at any time." Zhong said with a smile.
An Yuetian smiled and nodded: "Yueyue will deliver the things the day after tomorrow morning. By then, Yueyue will prepare more and the uncles and aunts can also taste the food."
Lin Qingxue laughed and said:
