Gu Jin shrugged, showing rare humility, "It's still far from enough."

Ning Xiaotong smiled and said, "How much is the shortfall in the relief funds for Northwest China? How much can you get from the pharmacy?"

Gu Jin counted on his fingers, "Shen Qingsong has hundreds of thousands, the Xun family can come up with 100,000 yuan, and the book funds I can use now are 200,000 yuan. The total of 600,000 yuan should be able to solve the problem for a while."

It’s urgent.”

"What two hundred thousand, six hundred thousand?" Ye Jiashu walked in and saw the accounts spread out on the table, "Are you doing the accounting, calculating how much you earned in a year?"

Gu Jin had no taboo against Ye Jiashu. The account book was still open and he didn't close it when he came in.

Ning Xiaotong said with a smile, "No, it's the people in the northwest who are affected by the disaster, and the organization is raising relief funds. Since our boss is concerned about the country and the people, we plan to donate money to the government."

Ye Jiashu was a little surprised, "The country is collecting donations, why didn't I receive any news?"

Unless there is an extreme urgency, donations are generally not announced to the outside world. In Ye Jiashu's memory, there has only been one fundraising event since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Gu Jin glanced at Ning Xiaotong, smiled lightly and said, "There is no collective fundraising. I got the news privately and want to do something for the people of the northwest."

"So that's it." Ye Jiashu nodded.

Gu Jin didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so she put away the account book and asked, "How was the sales of the essential oils I gave you last time?"

When the essential oils were mentioned, Ye Jiashu's face was full of excitement. He turned around and sat on his chair and said with a smile, "The sales are very good, and the demand exceeds the supply. Now this essential oil and Wuji essential oil have become the two most popular treasures of our store."

"That's good." Gu Jin curled her lips. She was liked by customers and her hard research was not in vain.

"It's just that you are too kind to me for all such good essential oils." Ye Jiashu said, "You can still sell them in Hibiscus Pharmacy."

Gu Jin shook his head, "I'll give it to you if I tell you. Besides, I also said that making essential oils is not purely for making money, it's just a hobby of mine. As long as the essential oils made are liked by customers, for essential oil makers,

, is enough."

Ye Jiashu's face moved slightly and he nodded slowly, "You are truly the most respectable essential oil maker."

Ning Xiaotong said, "It goes without saying that our Xiaojin knows a lot of things and can make money everywhere. How could he make such good essential oils if he didn't put his sincere feelings into it."

Ye Jiashu agreed, "It makes perfect sense."

Gu Jin smiled and said, "I learned the technique of making essential oils from my master. He is the one who really used sincere feelings. But if I meet my master, I will tell him what you said, and he will listen."

You must be very happy afterwards.”

Ye Jiashu nodded, "You are about to give birth too. If you can't come, don't come. You can raise her at home. Your husband must be very worried too."

He had never checked Gu Jin's details, but he vaguely guessed that the person Gu Jin married should be from a wealthy and prestigious family, but he didn't understand why such a family would let Gu Jin do business?

There are only two reasons. One is that her husband's family doesn't pay attention to Gu Jin, so they don't ask. The other is that Gu Jin's husband loves her too much and just lets her do whatever she pleases.

Judging from the slight smile on Gu Jin's eyebrows, she must be doing well, so it must be the latter.

Ye Jiashu sighed sadly. If he could have such a wife, he would definitely love and care for her in every possible way. She is a pearl in the world.

He just passed by the drugstore and came in to sit down while doing errands, drank a cup of tea and left.

Gu Jin and Ning Xiaotong talked about the medicinal material supplier and asked Yan Chunjun to prepare the medicinal materials to be sent to the military region for selection.

Ning Xiaotong smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll be ready early in the morning."

"Um."

In the evening, Duan Yanghong was reading and practicing calligraphy with Shen Qingsong in the study. Gu Jin was watching Li Mei making clothes and chatting in the next room, and Shen Jian was sitting and taking a nap.

Gu Jin covered Shen Jian with a blanket, and he suddenly woke up.

"Go back to sleep if you feel sleepy." Gu Jin said.

Shen Jian shook his head, "I'm not sleepy. What time is it? It's still early."

He took out his cigarette bag, put out some tobacco and took a few puffs to wake up from his nap.

Li Mei glanced over and snorted, "People say the smell of cigarettes is bad for pregnant women and their babies, so stop smoking."

Shen Jian frowned, "Is there such a thing?"

"Some people say there is a reason. You won't die even if you take a few puffs less." Li Mei said deliberately angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't smoke anymore." Shen Jian put away the cigarette bag and walked around the room twice...

Li Mei frowned again, "Can you just sit there honestly? It makes me dizzy."

Shen Jian said angrily, "Why do you do so many things and I can't do anything right?"

Gu Jin pinched the walnuts and smiled, watching Shen Jian and Li Mei arguing, but did not dissuade them.

"Why am I so busy? You were sitting there sleeping just now. Did I provoke you?" Li Mei sat up straight and argued with Shen Jian in a serious manner.

Shen Jian was choked and couldn't speak. He raised his hand and waved, "I won't argue with you, an old woman. I'll go out and not let you see the head office."

After saying that, he held the pipe behind his hand and went outside.

"Huh." Li Mei leaned over and snorted.

"Mom, don't always talk about our dad. He is bored at home every day, and you are still angry with him." Gu Jin put the peeled walnuts in front of Li Mei.

Li Mei snorted, "He's not bored. He goes out with the people shopping at home every day. He heard that today he was going to sit in front of a fish stall to fish. He would buy whatever he caught. The fish vendors were scared.

.”

Gu Jin leaned back in the chair and laughed. Thinking about that scene, she couldn't stop laughing, and then she felt a little sad. "Shen Jian was so bored that he came up with this method."

"The fish seller might have said something about him behind his back, and thought he was a fool." Li Mei shook her head speechlessly.

Gu Jin changed his eyes, stood up and said, "I'm going to see where Shen Jian is?"

After leaving the house, Gu Jin was startled. It turned out that Shen Jian was dragging Xun Bai to play chess with him...

"Your chess move is wrong, you should move it this way, then I move this way, and you move this way again." Shen Jian said as he moved, and he made five or six moves at once.

Xun Bai's usually expressionless face was now full of caution, with a hint of confusion...

Gu Jin suppressed her laughter and returned to the room.

"What did the old man do?" Li Mei raised her head and asked.

Gu Jin said, "I'm playing chess with Zhu Xiaofeng."

Li Mei sighed, "It's hard for Xun Bai."

Gu Jinxiao burst into tears.

Li Mei worked hard and quickly mended Duan Yanghong's torn trousers.

Gu Jin said, "Don't do it. The dark light at night is not good for your eyes."

"This lamp is bright and not dim at all, even if it is dim at home." Li Mei said with a smile, "It's almost done."

"It's still cold, so there's no need to worry."

"You're going to give birth soon. When you do, I won't have time. I'll finish these things while I'm free now."

"Sister Shan can also do needlework, I'll ask her to help you do it together."

"Sister Shan has her own things to do, so don't make arrangements for her. I'm free anyway."

"Then take a rest first and eat the walnuts I peeled."

The two of them sat together, facing each other, chatting and laughing. It was an indescribably warm spring night in early spring when the warmth turned cold.

Shen Qingsong no longer allowed Gu Jin to go out, but Xiao Jin couldn't stay still. Occasionally she felt bored and went to the drugstore for a walk.

The next day, Xiaojin went to the drugstore after noon.
