Chapter 8 Understanding medicinal materials

Ye Ning raised his head and glanced at the yard. There was no one outside.

She put the silk thread on the table into the basket and then said: "Come in, remember to close the door."

Little Zhou sighed happily, pulled up the stool and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Second sister-in-law, my parents-in-law are partial to Wu Lang. We all know how they have been doing in the past two days. I just want to ask you what you think."

She lowered her head and added: "Family separation."

Ye Ning poured her a glass of water and asked, "Is this your idea or Shiro's?"

When Shiro was mentioned, Mrs. Zhou suddenly felt depressed. If Shiro also agreed to the separation of the family, she wouldn't have to go to the second sister-in-law to discuss the matter. "He is as stubborn as a cow and won't let go."

Ye Ning shook his head and his eyes dimmed slightly: "Er Lang, too."

It might have been possible to talk about family separation before, but it is basically impossible to talk about family separation after Wu Lang happened. Everyone has no money now, the rice in the fields has not been confiscated, and the Cheng family brothers will not agree.

Seeing that Ye Ning couldn't help it, little Zhou was a little discouraged.

But she quickly made up her mind, lowered her voice, and gritted her teeth and said: "Second sister-in-law, please give me the right words. Do you want to separate the family? If you do, I will find a way to find out what the elder sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law say.

.”

Ye Ning was stunned for a while.

He looked at her and nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Of course I want to separate the family. I have only had one child, Miaomiao. Now I am afraid that one day I will come back when I go out and find that Miaomiao has been sent away and sold in exchange for food."

I had nightmares all night long and wanted to take her with me wherever I went.

"Sure! The second sister-in-law is waiting for my news."

Little Zhou glanced at the sleeping girl, raised her head, drank all the water in the cup, and left.

The sun sets in the west.

Cheng Miaomiao woke up to the continuous "pop-pop" sound in the yard. She rubbed her eyes and crawled to the window curiously, where she saw her father, shirtless, chopping bamboo with an ax in the yard.

First, cut a whole bamboo into three or four pieces, and then use a razor to carefully peel off the bamboo skin.

She stared at it with relish for a while, then turned around and asked, "Mom, what is dad doing?"

Ye Ning just walked in with the prepared medicine.

"I'm going to make some bamboo baskets and sell them in the town. Are you thirsty? Come here and drink the medicine."

"Oh good!"

Cheng Miaomiao jumped out of bed, quickly put on her straw sandals and ran to her.

Looking up at the dark medicine in the bowl, a strong and overbearing bitter smell instantly entered her nose. She was so frightened that she took two steps back, shaking her head like a rattle: "Auntie, I don't want to drink the medicine."

Ye Ning knelt down, pointed at the injury on the back of her head and said, "Miaomiao is injured here and needs to take medicine to get better quickly."

Cheng Miaomiao immediately said: "The injury is healed! Don't take medicine!"

"If you don't take medicine, you won't be able to dig wild vegetables in the mountains tomorrow."

"No, I have to go up the mountain!"

"After Miaomiao drinks the medicine, can I take you out to play?"

In the end, Cheng Miaomiao couldn't resist the temptation. Holding a bowl bigger than her face in both hands, she drank up the medicine in a gulp. Her whole little face wrinkled up in an instant. It was so painful!

Just when he was about to open his mouth to speak, something sweet was suddenly stuffed into his mouth.

The slightest hint of sweetness drives away the bitterness in your mouth, like honey.

Ye Ning smiled and shook his head, whispering: "Shh."

Cheng Miaomiao's smart apricot eyes opened wide, she covered her mouth and nodded vigorously, and asked in a soft tone: "Auntie, what is this?"

"This is candy," Ye Ning held her hand and walked out, "From now on, as long as Miaomiao takes medicine seriously, I will give you a piece."

Hearing this, Cheng Miaomiao was confused and moved.

After a long while, he nodded resolutely, clenched his fists, raised his face and said, "I will definitely drink the medicine well."

When he walked to the yard, Cheng Erlang smiled and wiped the sweat from his face when he saw them.

Cheng Miaomiao softly called: "Dad."

Cheng Erlang sighed happily, and like a magic trick, he conjured a little rabbit with a plaited dog tail from behind and handed it to her. Then he looked at Ye Ning and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Take Miaomiao to Dr. Zeng for follow-up consultation."

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Ning: "You go about your business, we will be back soon."

After saying that, she picked up Cheng Miaomiao, hugged him, and went straight out the door.

Cheng Erlang scratched his head in frustration.

-

Doctor Zeng's family also lives in the west of the village.

But because he also planted a medicinal field, he would live closer to the top of the mountain, so it would be farther away from the village.

As soon as she walked to the door of Dr. Zeng's house, Cheng Miaomiao smelled the faint smell of herbs.

The outside fence door was not closed, so the mother and daughter walked directly in. The medicinal herbs were dried all over the yard. Dr. Zeng, who had gray hair on his temples, and the little boy dressed as a medicine boy, sorted them into categories and put them away.

"Dr. Zeng, I have brought Miaomiao for a follow-up consultation."

Hearing the sound, Dr. Zeng straightened up and looked over. After seeing them, he remembered that they had indeed made an appointment in the afternoon. He said a little embarrassedly: "There is a bit of chaos at home. Sanya came to uncle's place."

Ye Ning touched her head and said, "Miaomiao, go ahead."

Cheng Miaomiao walked over and stared at the white hair on his head with dark eyes.

This uncle is obviously about the same age as my father, so why does he have gray hair? It’s so sad.

After checking the injury on the back of her head, Dr. Zeng wrapped a new circle of gauze on her and sighed: "Sanya's injury healed faster than I expected, and there was no congestion. I just need to take medicine for a few more days and it will be fine."

Already."

Hearing what he said, Ye Ning's heart suddenly fell: "Thank you, Doctor Zeng."

"This is what I should do. I treat the disease and you pay the medical fees."

After Dr. Zeng said with a smile, he turned back to the house to grab medicine.

Cheng Miaomiao squatted next to the little boy and watched him pick up the medicinal materials. The little boy didn't look at her and was busy packing away. She looked at the medicinal materials on the ground for a while and asked, "This is wild mint, right?"

"Yes, you know him too?"

The little boy raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

He spoke slowly, word by word.

Cheng Miaomiao said with beaming eyes: "Of course, I also know that this one is a wild chrysanthemum and that one is a bamboo leaf, right?"

The little boy nodded slowly: "Everything you said is right."

"That's right, I'm awesome!"

How could the majestic mountain god not recognize these plants?

Cheng Miaomiao wanted to help him choose, but before she could do anything, she was pulled up by her mother-in-law. Just as Dr. Zeng came out of the hall, he heard the conversation between the children and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's been hot lately, and it's almost time for the autumn harvest, so I'm preparing herbal tea in advance."

Doctor Zeng handed the medicine package to Ye Ning, then bent down and touched Cheng Miaomiao's head.

When he met those smart eyes, he suddenly said something mysteriously: "The uncle you met just now has been collecting the medicinal herbs these days. If you pick them, you can send them over. Uncle will give you copper coins according to the quantity."

"Wow!"

Cheng Miaomiao opened her eyes wide with joy.
