Chapter 38 Drinking herbal tea~

Soon, the child Cheng Miaomiao finished her afternoon work and successfully grabbed her friend and ran to the next door.

For her, it is still a new home in an empty and flat land.

A dozen workers wore straw hats and short brown clothes, showing their strong arms. The division of labor was detailed. Some were digging grass and leveling the ground with hoes, some were transporting sand, gravel and red mud on carts, and others were determining the location of the foundation.

and depth.

Cheng Erlang is tall, which is obvious among such a group of people.

Cheng Miaomiao saw it at a glance: "Dad!"

She jumped directly into Cheng Erlang's arms, and after hugging him, she poked her head out to look at the person standing next to him. This man was tall and dark-skinned, and he shouted obediently: "Hello, uncle."

Cheng Erlang smiled and said: "Brother Miao, this is my daughter Miaomiao."

Brother Miao also burst into laughter: "The little girl is really smart. I understand the situation here. Let's take the brothers to dig out the foundation first."

Cheng Erlang said thank you for your hard work again.

Then he lowered his head and looked at his daughter, pinched her face with his fingers, and asked with a smile: "Why did you run out in such a sunny day?"

"Build a house, come and see it!"

Cheng Miaomiao's eyes flickered, and she peeked at what the workers were doing while talking.

Of course, she did not forget to introduce her little friend to him. She raised her head proudly and said, "This is Dr. Zeng's nephew Zeng Ziji. The two of us came here after finishing our work. We are not lazy."

After sorting out all the herbs in the main room, Dr. Zeng even praised her!

Zeng Ziji was a little nervous and stammered when he spoke: "Uncle Cheng."

Cheng Erlang sighed and wanted to touch the child's head, but suddenly found that his hands were very dirty now, so he had to coax: "This place will be very dusty and dirty later, you go back first."

Cheng Miaomiao was a little disappointed and pulled his sleeve: "Can't you really stay and watch?"

"Yes, if your mother-in-law finds out that you are covered in dirt and dust, she will be angry. You can come and see her again during dinner." Cheng Erlang rejected her at first, and later gave her the best of both worlds.

"Well, I also said that I would bring Brother Ji to watch the fun."

She has never seen a house built.

Cheng Miaomiao quickly got rid of her disappointment, took her friend's hand again, and said energetically: "Let me tell you, the food cooked by my mother-in-law is delicious. She used to cook a bowl for me every morning.

Where’s the egg-sugar water!”

The two children returned to the small courtyard again, saying something to each other.

Although Miaomiao was the one talking most of the time, Zeng Ziji spoke slowly, nodding or umming every time.

Dr. Zeng was looking through the dried herbs in the basket. Seeing their dingy looks, he laughed and said, "See, I just said you have to come back. If you don't listen to me, you will suffer the consequences."

"Aren't you ashamed that you are such an adult and still argue with a four-year-old child?"

Cheng Miaomiao was so angry that she ran to help him flip the basket.

Zeng Ziji also walked to another shelf with ease and carefully picked through the herbs. Listening to the bickering between his uncle and his friends next to him, he had never felt that the yard was so lively.

It's really nice to have a friend who lives next door.

After the three of them rummaged through all the bamboo baskets on the shelf outside, they hurried back to the main room, where one of them held a cup of herbal tea and drank it. Cheng Miaomiao was already sweating from the heat and drank tons of water.

The herbal tea here does not have the astringent taste of grass, but has a sweet and refreshing fragrance. After drinking it, people just feel that the heat has completely disappeared.

After Cheng Miaomiao finished drinking, she continued to sip it and looked at him expectantly with her dark eyes.

Dr. Zeng was so happy that he refilled the glasses for the two children.

The weather is so hot.

It must have been very hot when Dad and the others were building a house outside. Cheng Miaomiao raised her head and looked at him and asked, "Uncle Zeng, can I buy herbal tea from you?"

Dr. Zeng said: "Of course you can, but what do you want to buy it for?"

He glanced at the busy construction site outside. The child's mind was so good at guessing that he could guess it right.

"I have money!"

Cheng Miaomiao quickly took out his three cents.

Dr. Zeng lowered his head and deliberately teased her: "You only have enough money to buy one serving of herbal tea. Each serving of herbal tea can only be brewed once, and it will lose its flavor later. Do you want to continue buying it tomorrow?"

"If they don't buy it, they will probably suffer from heat stroke, and they will become suffocated and unconscious from the sun."

Cheng Miaomiao suddenly felt confused.

It’s so expensive, but my dad and mom said it will take several days to build a house. What if I can’t drink tomorrow and my dad and uncles faint?

Seeing his new friend in trouble, Zeng Ziji said slowly: "I have money, I can lend it to you."

It's just money, his uncle will give him pocket money every month.

Cheng Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

She reached out and patted Zeng Ziji on the shoulder, and sighed like a little adult: "You are really my good friend, but children can't borrow money randomly, but I can make my own money!"

"Uncle Zeng, are you still collecting medicinal herbs recently?"

Cheng Miaomiao looked at him expectantly.

Zeng Ziji also looked at his uncle nervously, fearing that if he said no, he would make his little friend angry.

Dr. Zeng immediately became happy when he heard this and said with a smile: "Of course I will collect them. I am harvesting all the herbs that are drying in the yard now. If you pick them, you can send them over and I will calculate the money for you per tree."

Cheng Miaomiao asked happily: "What about eggs, fish, mushrooms and so on?"

"..."

This is a herbal medicine shop, not a grocery store.

Doctor Zeng looked at her extremely happy expression, laughed rather disgustedly, and said: "Collect it, collect it, but I can only collect it by you, I can't ask your mother to help."

Cheng Miaomiao patted her chest to assure herself that she would do it herself.

Herbs are not that easy to find, but eggs, duck eggs, etc. are very easy! After all, she has two little cheating artifacts!

In the end, she exchanged three pennies for two bags of herbal tea.

It's just that she bought herbal tea, but Cheng Miaomiao encountered a new problem, that is, she didn't know how to cook it.

Zeng Ziji accompanied his friends attentively and gave instructions slowly: "First put water in the pot, put tea bags in, then turn on the fire and let it boil."

Cheng Miaomiao had a learned expression.

She looked at the stove that was higher than herself and couldn't help but look worried. The pot was so big that it seemed like it could stew her too.

At this moment, Ye Ning finally came back.

After listening to her childish words, Ye Ning happily taught her a lesson. Even Zeng Ziji, who was anxiously trying to explain, was also taught a lesson. Children cannot play with fire or pot.

.

The two stood there wilted and groaned, being scolded.
