"Hey, you didn't eat much?" Qianyu brought the food to the table with a smile.

Su Xueer asked with concern: "Qianyu, is the food cold? Do you want me to heat it up for you?"

"No, it's edible. Don't bother." In fact, he couldn't wait any longer.

The first bite of bacon felt weird, but I could still accept it. But when I took another bite of diced radish, I felt terrible.

"Pfft, it's so salty." He drank the water swiftly just like Chi Rui.

Turning to look at Su Xueer: May I ask???

He said that so many dishes were left for him alone.

The feeling is so salty that I can't swallow it.

Even in this situation, he still cared about his son: "Son, are you okay?"

This woman usually cooks delicious dishes. Is she trying to kill him on purpose today?

"Very good." Chi Rui held back his smile and answered with two words.

Qianyu looked at Su Xueer again, and Su Xueer whistled as if nothing had happened and looked away.

Qianyu: Okay, you are all good, but I am the only one who is broken.

Although it tasted terrible, Qianyu, who had experienced poverty before, forced herself to eat it while drinking water out of her good habit of not wasting food.

Su Xueer asked a soul-searching question: "How is it? Qianyu, have you found the person?"

Qianyu rolled her eyes and asked, "Whether you found the person or not, are you not clear about it?"

He had buried it long ago, how could he find it?

Still acting, right? Okay, he'll act with you, free of charge.

"I didn't find her. Zhao Yueru is such a walker. She almost tired me to death." Qianyu continued to drink water in big gulps. If she didn't drink water, she would choke to death. "She walked all the way and cried all the way. It was so annoying."

"Yeah, I also think she is an annoying person." After saying that, Su Xueer walked up to Chi Rui, sat on the stone floor, and began to help make the cotton-padded jacket.

Chi Rui looked down, bent over, handed her the small wooden stool on his right, and said, "The ground is cold, sit on this."

Su Xueer was slightly stunned, then a bright smile broke out on her face, she reached out to take the small wooden stool, and said softly: "Thank you."

She sat down slowly, her eyes always fixed on Chi Rui.

Chi Rui looked at her gently, and his eyes were no longer as cold as they were at the beginning.

Su Xueer lowered her head to make a cotton-padded jacket. Occasionally, she looked up and met Chi Rui's gaze, and they both smiled knowingly.

Qianyu looked at them being so affectionate with each other.

Tsk tsk tsk, the world is going downhill and morals are declining.

Disgusting every day!

Chi Rui also picked up an unfinished cotton jacket and gently pinched the needle and thread with his fingers. Although his movements were a little clumsy, he was extremely serious.

He looked at Su Xueer from time to time. Su Xueer looked focused. It was already winter, and she must make the cotton-padded jacket before it snowed.

Suddenly, Su Xueer raised her head and looked at Chi Rui, and said seriously: "Sanlang, although Zhao Yueru has been studying medicine since childhood, she is still too young and her qualifications are too shallow. Otherwise, let's change a doctor."

The needle and thread in Chi Rui's hand paused for a moment, and then passed through the cloth steadily: "Forget it, it's just a waste of money."

"How do you know if you haven't tried? You have always been treated by that little girl Zhao Yueru. If you had changed doctors, maybe your leg disease would have been cured long ago."

Chi Rui's eyes were deep, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Su Xueer continued without giving up: “Don’t worry about the money. I made a lot of money from selling lilac last time. I’ll use it to treat my legs first, and we’ll talk about the future later.”

Chi Rui looked down at Su Xueer, who was wearing a coarse cloth dress that was washed white and slightly patched, with a little dust on the hem.

Her hair was casually tied up with an old wooden hairpin, with a few strands of hair scattered messily.

He had a faded cloth belt tied around his waist, and the cloth shoes on his feet were so worn that they were almost full of holes.

Chi Rui's heart felt as heavy as if it was being pressed down by a heavy stone. "Don't waste that money. Go to the market later and buy yourself some jewelry and clothes."

Su Xueer raised her eyes and smiled, "I am a laborer, why would I need jewelry and clothes?"

"Even so, it's not too shabby."

Besides, to me, you are not just a laborer, this is what Chi Rui said in his heart.

Su Xueer's eyes were lively, the corners of her mouth were raised, and her quirky look was as energetic as the warm spring sun: "I am naturally beautiful. Even without those, I am still the most beautiful village girl in Fengxian Village."

After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to make her big red cotton-padded jacket.

Everyone says bright red is tacky, but Su Xueer just loves bright red.

When she lowered her head, she didn't notice that Chi Rui looked at her with eyes full of doting.

Qianyu saw everything here.

Obviously, he already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't say it.

Okay, okay, that’s how we play it, right? No laughing.

Su Xueer also had an idea in her mind.

She felt that Chi Rui was unwilling to find another doctor to check his legs because he was worried about the financial problem.

After all, the livelihood of the three of them was supported by Qianyu carrying heavy bags, and Zhao Yueru never charged for treating Chi Rui's legs.

Living in this mountain valley, if you want to make money, you have to go up the mountain.

After breakfast, she went to the market and bought vegetables for the day, then went back to the drugstore.

Walking into the pharmacy, in the dim light, the old wooden cabinets exude the breath of time.

Various medicinal materials are neatly arranged, and the rich aroma of medicine fills the air.

Shopkeeper Xue was sitting in the clinic, concentrating on writing prescriptions for patients, while his apprentice was busy weighing and packaging medicines beside him.

"Shopkeeper Xue." Su Xueer called out.

Shopkeeper Xue is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

He raised his head and smiled kindly: "Miss Su, is that you?"

Because Su Xueer often came to sell herbs and sold an extremely precious lilac, she became familiar with Shopkeeper Xue after a few visits.

Su Xueer approached the counter and asked softly: “Shopkeeper Xue, I want to ask, besides lilac, are there any other valuable medicinal herbs?”

Shopkeeper Xue stroked his beard, thought for a moment and said, "In addition to lilac, there is another extremely precious medicinal herb. If it can be found, it is much more valuable than lilac, worth one hundred taels. But it may not be found in this season."

Su Xueer's eyes were firm: "Shopkeeper Xue, please tell me quickly, I must find it."

"Miss Su, are you in urgent need of money?" Shopkeeper Xue asked with some concern.

Su Xueer nodded, "So, Shopkeeper Xue, please tell me what it is, and I will definitely find it."

"Taipan snake." The shopkeeper explained slowly, "It is medium-sized, about 2 feet long. It has a black head, a brown or dark brown back, and several light yellow horizontal stripes with black edges. It lives in the bushes. I'm afraid it's no longer seen in this season. This snake is extremely precious, worth a hundred taels."

Su Xueer's eyes were firm, and she smiled and said, "If you don't go look for it, how can you know if it exists? I can find the lilac, so I can definitely find this little snake."

She was determined to get this snake.
