Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

When Xiao Wang heard someone calling her, she looked up and saw it was her and said with a smile, "It's Zixuan! Come in quickly, your aunt is in the room!"

"Okay." Xia Zixuan responded and walked into the yard. Before Xiao Wang had time to call Wang, she saw her coming out of the house.

Seeing that it was her, she was quite delighted, "It's really Xuan girl! I heard a voice that sounded like yours in the room. Come in and sit down. Have you had lunch?"

As Xia Zixuan was being pulled into the house by Aunt Wang, she said, "Aunt, I've already had my meal. I came here to tell you that honeysuckle and plantain are sold at the Renhe Clinic in town. They cost ten cents per pound."

Wang slapped her thigh excitedly, "Oh, this is true! We picked more than 50 kilograms of grass this morning! I never thought that the grass that no one usually takes seriously would be a treasure that can be sold for silver!"

Little Wang also smiled and said, "Yes! Who would have thought it was a medicinal herb! Mother, let's go pick it later! I don't think many villagers went there today. I guess they don't believe it. Now they must be regretting not listening to the village chief."

Wang smiled and waved her hand and said, "Okay, you guys go first in a while!"

Seeing how eager they were to go up the mountain, Xia Zixuan said, "Then you guys go ahead and do your work! I'll go to the village chief's house first and tell him, otherwise he'll be worried."

"Okay, then I won't keep you here. Go ahead!"

Wang sent her to the door of her house.

After parting with Wang, Xia Zixuan came to the door of the village chief, knocked on the door and called out, "Is the village chief home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng came out. "Hey, she's home! It's Miss Xuan! Come in quickly, your village chief is waiting for you!"

Feng held her hand enthusiastically and thought to herself that maybe Miss Xuan came to tell them whether the herbs could be sold!

Xia Zixuan didn't know what Mrs. Feng was thinking, "Hello, Grandma Feng."

Feng patted her hands and said, "Hey, good."

The two of them came to the main hall and saw the village chief sitting at the head of the table. When he saw her come in, he immediately stood up and asked excitedly, "Did Xuan really sell that herb?"

He still remembered what Xia Zixuan said: she would tell him when it was sold, so it must have been sold now.

Seeing that he was so excited that he almost couldn't stand, Xia Zixuan hurried over to support him, "Yes, Grandpa Village Chief, don't get excited first, come and sit down and have a sip of water, I will tell you, okay?"

"Oh, okay, okay, don't be afraid, Xuan girl. The village chief is just too excited. It's okay, it's okay." The village chief waved his hands to comfort her.

Xia Zixuan was really afraid that he, a man in his fifties, would faint from excitement, and then she would really be guilty.

Although people in their fifties do not look old in modern times, this was the case in ancient times. Especially in the countryside, the average lifespan for the elderly was sixty or seventy years old, because they worked in the fields all their lives and did not eat well.

There are some long-lived people who can live to their eighties or nineties, but most of them are wealthy people. So people in their fifties have already lived most of their lives.

Feng patted the village chief on the back and muttered something, but her eyes were full of worry. "You old man, really, why are you so excited at your age! Can't you just listen to what Miss Xuan has to say?"

When the others heard the noise, they came out to see what was going on. When they saw that it was her, they were delighted at first, but then they saw their father’s blushing face and asked anxiously, “Mom, what happened to my father? Should we go find a doctor?”

Feng glared at the village chief and said unhappily, "It's okay. Why look for a doctor? Your father is fine! He was just too excited when he saw Miss Xuan coming."

After hearing what she said, everyone instantly understood what was going on. To be honest, they were also excited, because the herbs they picked today were not much different from those picked by Aunt Wang.

They were planning to go back later when they heard some noise coming from this side. They thought something had happened and hurried over to take a look.

Seeing that the village chief's mood had calmed down, Xia Zixuan said, "I went to Renhe Clinic today. They charge ten cents per pound, but you can't put the bad ones in there, otherwise they won't accept them."

If they said no, she would have to let them sell it somewhere else.

The village chief's eldest daughter-in-law said happily: "Of course! Why not? This is free money!

None of us knew it was a medicinal herb before! Now it can supplement our family income! We cherish it so much! How could we put bad ones in it? "
