Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 29 Don’t guess what a woman is thinking
"Hey, finally finished!"

Lin Jun tapped his pen on the notebook, and the ink in the pen could no longer be mixed. He smiled and said, "Well, I'm lucky. I must bring the ink bottle with me next time I go out!"

He smiled, put away his pen, closed his notebook, stood up and pounded his sore thighs, turned his head and saw his girl, Lin Yanqiu, staring at him with puffed cheeks and a look of dissatisfaction.

"Oh my!" Lin Jun slapped his head and said apologetically, "Silly girl, why didn't you remind me? I was so busy that I forgot the time. I'm so sorry!"

"Haha, Dad, you still know the time. I thought you forgot it!" Lin Yanqiu rolled his eyes speechlessly, clapped his hands, came to the bicycle, and sighed: "Let's go!"

"Leave?" Lin Jun was stunned. He tilted his head and glanced at the Wang family's yard not far away. His face changed. "Oh my God, is Li Xiangdong leaving again?"

"Hmph, what do you think!" Lin Yanqiu pushed the cart forward, "He left half an hour ago, Dad, what can I say to you! Half a day's vacation has gone by like this, you have to compensate me! Hey..."

Before she finished her words, she saw Lin Jun running to the courtyard, looking out, then walking back dejectedly and taking the car.

"Well, although I didn't meet Li Xiangdong today, I still gained a lot! Next time, dad will take you to meet him..." Lin Jun said regretfully.

“Stop, stop!” Lin Yanqiu waved his hands hastily, “Please don’t take me with you next time. I don’t want to make this trip in vain!”

After saying that, he walked forward on his own.

"Hey, you girl!" Lin Jun got in his car and chased after him, saying with a smile, "Then I really won't bring you out to broaden your horizons. Li Xiangdong, that boy, I really want to meet him more and more! I have to come find him! Tell me where that guy went?"

"I don't know!" Lin Yanqiu simply ignored his father.

"Hey? Yanqiu, why are you angry?" Seeing his daughter inexplicably angry, Lin Jun snorted, full of doubts. It was really hard to guess what his daughter was thinking.

……

Although the current economic situation does not allow Li Xiangdong to immediately develop his own business based on the tavern, he has to use Xu Huizhen's connections and business acumen to pave the way, and he has to do it as soon as possible.

After carefully explaining to Xu Huizhen some of the tavern's future management concepts, Li Xiangdong said goodbye to her and prepared to return to the veterinary clinic.

"Hey, wait, you don't want the medicine box anymore?" Xu Huizhen passed by the tavern, ran in, chased out, and returned the medicine box to Li Xiangdong.

"Okay, thank you!"

"Why are you being so polite to me? Listening to your talk is really better than reading ten years of books! It's worth knowing such a silly brother like you!" Xu Huizhen said with emotion.

Waving his hand, Li Xiangdong stepped on the medicine box and turned to leave. Xu Huizhen behind him looked at him deeply, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and then she returned to the tavern.

As soon as I walked to the door of the veterinary clinic, I saw a person squatting by the door.

"Sister Zhao, why are you here?" Li Xiangdong looked left and right, and was a little curious when he didn't see Wang Li.

"Xiangdong, are you back from dinner? I happened to be at work, and I had half a pound of extra pork at home, so I thought of sending it to you. You must take it!" Zhao Rong said as she hung the pork on the door lock and ran away.

"Hey, hey, hey, Sister Zhao? Don't go. Why are you bringing meat to me?" Li Xiangdong felt numb when he saw Zhao Rong's attitude.

Her family was in such a difficult situation, yet they gave her half a pound of pork? What did they mean by half a pound of pork? I guess she had to go to the market and spend money to buy the pork.

"Sister Zhao..."

But no matter how Li Xiangdong shouted, Zhao Rong's legs ran faster and faster like a rabbit, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Okay!" Li Xiangdong couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the half-pulled pork on the door lock. Zhao Rong was like this, and she probably wouldn't even want the meat if he sent it to a small restaurant!
Next time I come to your house, I’ll cut another piece of meat and bring it to her!
This friendship really left Li Xiangdong speechless.

Carefully he took the pork off the door lock, opened the door and went into the house, hung it on the washbasin rack, placed the medicine box on the table, and began to sort out the used utensils.

Every time I come back from a medical visit, I throw away some instruments that need to be thrown away, disinfect some that need to be disinfected, and clean some that need to be cleaned.

When he opened it, he found that there were ten more kilograms of food coupons, five kilograms of oil coupons, and five kilograms of pork coupons, as well as ten yuan in paper bills in the medicine box.

He looked towards the tavern in astonishment and said with emotion: "Hey, these two are really interesting. One of them sent me meat, and the other secretly sent me money and tickets, fearing that I would be hungry!"

Li Xiangdong couldn't help but feel his throat tighten and he felt slightly moved.

In those days of frugality, every household was unable to get enough food. In such times, I was still able to receive such care. This friendship was truly precious.

He shook his head, went to the back of the house, fetched a kettle of tap water, lit the coal stove, boiled water to clean the veterinary equipment. After that, he took out the silver needles from the bag one by one and lit a candle to clean and disinfect them.

By the time I finished the work, it was already past one in the afternoon.

He looked at the time and decided to go to the vegetable market.

I had already planned yesterday that I would buy some vegetable seedlings and Chinese herbal medicine seedlings for his Lingquan Secret Realm today. Now that the time is right, I will prepare to go there.

Clang.

But just as he was about to close the back door, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of a porcelain bowl breaking coming from Lao Xing's horseshoe shop next door.

Li Xiangdong stretched his head to take a look, with a puzzled look on his face: "Is Old Xing back?"

He listened for a long time but heard no movement, so he closed the back door and walked to the front door, then quickly walked to the door of the next shop and knocked hard on the door, "Uncle Xing? Are you back? This is Li Xiangdong! Uncle Xing?"

After knocking for a while, there was no movement in the room. Li Xiangdong was just wondering when Lao Qin from the barber shop across the street came out to pour water. Seeing it was him, he smiled and said, "Xiangdong, stop knocking. He's not in the shop at all. Lao Xing hasn't been home for months!"

"Hey, Uncle Qin! I got it!" Li Xiangdong frowned and listened for a while. Sure enough, he heard no more noise, so he closed the veterinary shop and walked towards Chaoyang Gate while wondering what was going on.

Could it be that it was robbed? But there was no sign of damage at the front or back door of Lao Xing's shop, so it didn't look like it!

Forget it!
He found a vegetable market near Chaoyangmen and bought half a pound of cabbage, green vegetables and cucumber seeds, as well as some tomatoes, peanuts and sweet potato seedlings. There was also a stall selling peach and pear tree seedlings nearby, so he bought a few at random. In total, he spent only eighty cents.

It's just that the seeds of these Chinese herbal medicines are a little hard to find. These things are usually sold as finished products in the medicine market, and there are very few that sell seeds. After asking around for a long time, he finally came to a store that was about to close. However, when the store owner heard that Li Xiangdong wanted to buy seeds, he took out all the seeds at once, except for three kinds: Morinda officinalis, Maca and Cuscuta australis. He said that only these aphrodisiac seeds were selling well in the market now, and no one would buy the rest.

Li Xiangdong spent another twenty-five cents to buy some seeds, and he left the store only while trying hard to suppress the twitching of his lips.

Who am I going to sell these aphrodisiac Chinese herbs to?

I returned to Nanluoguxiang feeling depressed, and was blocked by Yan Bugui as soon as I entered the yard.

"Hey, Xiangdong, come on, come to my house for dinner!"

Seeing the third uncle talking to him and his eyes always glancing at the pork in his hand, Li Xiangdong immediately understood what this man was going to do.
