The whole village is suffering from tuberculosis, but I have 10,000 acres of top-quality medicinal f

"Stop being so pretentious, why don't you hurry up and clean up? Do you still want to have dinner?" Xiao Xia came over and patted her brother's head.

Xiaodong whined, hugged her head, and complained: "Second sister! Why are you like this! You won't grow taller if you keep patting your head!"

"Hey, I'm still concerned about it."

"Of course, I will grow up like Brother Azhi in the future. With those arms and legs, he can take two steps ahead of me!"

"Then there's probably nothing we can do about it. It looks like you're born with short legs."

"Second sister!!"

As the younger brother and the younger brother quarreled, Ah Zhi raised his hatchet and struck again and again.

His expression and muscles were very relaxed. Although he did not look at the courtyard door, he had been silently paying attention to what was going on outside.

After it darkened, the familiar sound of footsteps finally came from afar.

Ta, tap, tap...

Getting closer and closer until it stopped at the door.

He raised his head and happened to face the person who came through the door.

"I'm back!"

The clear voice sounded, and he felt that the hatchet in his hand became lighter.

Three times and five times divided by two, chop up everything that will be used in the next few days.

He went to get a ladle of water, washed his hands, and waited to eat.

Tonight's meal was relatively simple. In fact, he instinctively disliked it, but he didn't show it.

And even though the dishes are ordinary, they taste good.

It was like I had never tasted this taste in my entire life.

"Wait a minute, Xiaoxia, take down that pickle. I bought a few more vegetables."

"Hey? What did you buy? Don't you have food at home? Why waste money?"

He looked at the woman and smiled, revealing two small dimples that were slightly deeper than before.

"I happened to see it, so I bought it... Lu Kee's roast goose, Tsuen Kee's braised beef, Dongshikou's famous weird-tasting pork elbow... Oh, by the way, there's also this bottle of stuffed fruit!"

Several pairs of eyes, all straight.

"I don't have any objection to buying some meat to improve the food, but you can't finish this pile of meat. Sister, we finally saved some money. Next, we have to celebrate the New Year and worship our ancestors. The past few days I can’t open the pot at home in the new year. I have never gone to worship. I will definitely go this year. After the spring, I may have to renovate a few rooms. Oh, by the way, didn’t you mention Brother A Zhi’s room before? It’s not suitable for people to live in. I want to tear it down and build a new one... In short, you can’t spend your money carelessly!”

His heart skipped a beat, and his long black eyelashes trembled involuntarily.

When spring comes, new houses will be built.

give him?

"I know, housekeeper, it's so rare. I'm so happy today that I opened it up and ate it!"

"Don't worry, with Brother Azhi and me here, this little meat won't be enough to see, right?"

His arm was suddenly touched, and he shuddered subconsciously. Looking at the boy's strange winking expression, his tense back relaxed again.

"Ah."

"Okay, okay...Hey, that's not right, sister, didn't you say last night that wine was not a good thing and should not be touched? Why did you suddenly buy it today?"

"This is no ordinary wine. A small bottle costs two taels of silver. It is said that it tastes delicious when paired with these braised meats and will not make you drunk."

"Two liang?! Isn't it wine made from wild fruits? I can do it too—"

"Azhi, would you like a drink?"

The smiling face suddenly came in front of him, his eyes were crooked, and he raised the small porcelain bottle with his bare hand and shook it.

He nodded: "Okay."

The sweet-smelling liquid slid into the throat, and an unfamiliar spicy taste immediately spread in the mouth.

He instinctively wanted to cough, but suppressed it forcefully.

I can't say I like it, nor do I hate it.

His eyes moved from the shallow bowl in his hand to the woman's pink earlobes, and finally landed on the porcelain bottle.

"Still want to drink?"

"Ah."

He stared at the hand that was stretched out in front of him again. His sleeves were pulled back, revealing a section of his white wrist.

His throat couldn't help but roll up and down. He felt that this fruit stuffing seemed to infinitely amplify the restlessness in his heart.

The woman seemed really happy tonight.

She kept pouring wine for him, picking up food for him, and deliberately told all kinds of jokes to make him laugh.

He seems to like drinking fruit juice.

Like this feeling.

knock knock.

"Come in... come in."

Duan Qingqiu was slightly startled when he heard the sound.

Is this drunk?

But I also drank wine last night, and it was obviously good.

She didn't think too much and pushed the door open with one hand.

"Stop taking a shower. It's too cold and you'll catch a cold easily. Come and wash your hands and face."

"Well..." The man stood up from the bed and approached step by step. Although his movements seemed a bit slow, his steps were quite steady.

"Soon... it will be done."

He mumbled something unknown, but Duan Qingqiu didn't hear it clearly. He subconsciously wanted to ask, but swallowed it back.

After washing my face, the remaining smell of alcohol finally dissipated.

She looked into the man's cold eyes as usual, breathed a sigh of relief, took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her arms, and handed it over together with the small cloth bag in her sleeve pocket.

"Here, take it."

His slender fingers unfolded the tissue paper and took out the intact jade pendant.

"Azhi, I have gone to cancel your low status. You can tear up the contract of betrayal yourself. The jade pendant... will also be returned to you. From now on, you will be completely free."

She thought the other party was going to show a little surprise and reluctance.

However, there was nothing.

She lowered her eyelids to hide the disappointment in her eyes, took a deep breath, and laughed again.

"There are twenty taels here. You... take them for flowers. Also, you can take away all the clothes in the cabinet. They are all quite new actually..."

There was no reaction from the other party, and there seemed to be a trace of tense impatience between his brows.

She couldn't speak anymore.

"Go to bed early. You can leave tomorrow."

Dropping these two sentences, he left without looking back.

I was confused all night, not knowing whether I was asleep or awake.

oh oh oh-

The big rooster roared loudly and began to howl.

Its daybreak.

Duan Qingqiu rolled over and got up, and Xiaoxia beside him also sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"It's still early, you should sleep a little longer."

Xiaoxia yawned and shook her head: "No."

She was embarrassed to say that her eldest sister slept like turning pancakes all night long, which had already driven away her sleepiness.

"Is this morning going to be simple? I'll cook the porridge and lay down some eggs."

I ate too much last night, and now I'm still feeling a bit feverish. Plus I didn't sleep well, so I really can't eat too much.

Duan Qingqiu had no objection, and after humming, he put on his coat and went to wash up in the yard.

When the chickens in the pen saw their master coming out, they flapped their wings one by one as usual.

There was a lot of cooing and gurgling, especially loud in this quiet morning.

After a while, Xiaodong was also woken up.

"Sister, your excitement is not over yet."

Duan Qingqiu pulled the corners of his lips and smiled, then raised his hand to rub his brother's head.

The little boy quickly took a step back and said righteously: "I, I'm telling you, you can't touch my head anymore. I won't be tall! I want to be as tall as Brother Azhi!"
