Chapter 245 You said you were going to give me money?
It was already past nine o'clock when I came out of Tang Qian's house.
In addition to Xiao Miaomiao, there were two little tails following behind.
Lin Wanshu had just applied medicine to little Wang Wei's hand. His hand was fine now. He was full of energy again and kept following Xiao Miaomiao, calling her "sister, sister."
Xiao Jianshe had heard that the Shen Ci brothers were going to the county town, and he was very happy that he could finally play alone with his sister.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, and he immediately felt unwell.
"younger sister!"
Xiao Jianshe, who had just gotten up and had breakfast, rushed to the next door house.
Xiao Miaomiao was still holding a corn in her hand, and her face was covered with corn dregs from eating so much.
When she saw Feng Jianshe, she showed him her big little face and shouted in a vague voice: "Pot~Pot!"
Xiao Jianshe didn't mind, and he inserted himself between her and Xiao Wangwei, reached out to wipe Miaomiao's face, and asked, "Where did you go to play?"
Little Wang Wei's position was taken away from him. He pouted and looked a little unhappy, but he couldn't beat Xiao Jianshe, so he could only follow behind with a wronged look on his face.
Although Wang Qingqing despises her brother for being a weakling, no matter how weak he is, isn't he still her brother?
Seeing that he didn't dare to snatch it, she secretly helped him win over Xiao Miaomiao.
The weather was still very good today. After returning home, Lin Wanshu took out a small table and placed it in the yard. She then took out some snacks and toys and placed them on the table for the children to play with.
Just after settling the children down, Fang Qiuyan came in carrying a basket and tofu pudding.
"Morning, Qiuyan!"
Lin Wanshu greeted him and went to meet him.
"Good... good morning..." Fang Qiuyan still looked reserved. "I picked some herbs. Do you want these?"
Hearing this, Lin Wanshu reached out and took her backpack, but she didn't rush to look at it. Instead, she asked about the tofu pudding.
"I gave her medicine last night so she could sleep. She didn't have a fever at night. I gave her medicine again in the morning."
Talking about her daughter, Fang Qiuyan finally felt less restrained.
Douhua hid behind Fang Qiuyan, hugged her thighs, and only poked out a little head, looking at Lin Wanshu timidly.
Lin Wanshu smiled at her and said, "Douhua, we meet again."
Douhua blinked and said nothing, just looking at Lin Wanshu curiously.
"Auntie gave you a kitten toy yesterday, do you remember?"
Hearing this, Douhua subconsciously reached out and touched her pocket. When she felt the soft touch, she nodded.
"Auntie has a lot of fun toys here, do you want to come over and play?"
It was not known whether it was because her smile was too friendly or her voice was too gentle, but Xiao Douhua, who had been hiding behind Fang Qiuyan, finally walked out slowly.
Fang Qiuyan was a little surprised to see that her daughter was willing to talk to a stranger she didn't know.
But when she saw so many toys and snacks on the table, she looked a little hesitant.
"Wan... Wanshu, no need. I have to go back to work after I deliver the medicine to you."
She has nothing, how can she have the nerve to take advantage of others?
Lin Wanshu knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw her expression.
Knowing that she was not one to take advantage of others, he comforted her, "I want to check Douhua's health, but she seems a little shy, so I want to let her get familiar with other children first."
After hearing this, Fang Qiuyan did not say anything to refuse.
Lin Wanshu coaxed Xiao Douhua a few more times, and when she felt that she had no resistance to her, she took her hand and walked towards the table in the yard.
Xiao Miaomiao saw the tofu pudding first and ran over to it.
"elder sister?"
She looked at the strange tofu pudding curiously.
Maybe it was because she was too young, but Douhua wasn't scared anymore. He just stood there and stared at her blankly.
"Miaomiao, this is Sister Douhua, do you want to play with her?"
Hearing this, Xiao Miaomiao nodded.
"miss you!"
As she spoke, she walked forward and held Douhua's hand.
"Sister~ Let's play~"
As she spoke, she led her towards the table.
Xiao Douhua looked at the three people at the table and subconsciously wanted to step back. However, Xiao Miaomiao, although small in stature, was very strong. She did not give her a chance to struggle and brought the people to the table.
When others saw the new child, they greeted her enthusiastically.
"Sister, do you want some candy? It's so sweet."
Wang Qingqing handed her a candy.
Douhua had always been bullied in the village before, so where had she seen so many enthusiastic children? For a moment, she didn't know how to react.
Xiao Miaomiao was more straightforward. She grabbed a handful of candy with her little hand and put it directly into Douhua's hand.
“Sweet and delicious~”
Douhua looked at the candy in his hand and couldn't help but swallowed hard.
Wang Qingqing encouraged her again.
"Douhua sister, please try it. This candy tastes like milk and is fragrant and sweet."
Children can't resist the temptation of sugar.
What’s more, I haven’t eaten any good food for many years.
Finally, she opened a candy and put it in her mouth.
Rich milky aroma and sweet taste.
Having never tasted such delicious food before, the tofu pudding suddenly opened up to the world and its eyes widened.
Fang Qiuyan felt even more sad after watching this.
Lin Wanshu picked up her backpack and called her into the yard.
Then she took out a large winnowing basket and poured the herbs in the basket into it.
After pouring it, Lin Wanshu was a little surprised.
It turned out that except for some mugwort covering the top of the basket, the bottom was actually full of chicken blood vine!
She clearly had never told other military wives about this medicinal herb, so how did she know about it?
Could it be that she also knows about medicinal herbs?
"Qiuyan, do you know what this is called?"
Lin Wanshu picked up a piece of chicken blood vine and asked.
Hearing this, Fang Qiuyan could not help but get nervous again. She pinched the hem of her clothes unconsciously and stirred it before saying, "I... I don't know either. When I was a child, an old man in the village said it was a good thing, so I cut it back. Is there... any problem?"
She was originally picking mugwort.
But I happened to see this and cut it back.
Seeing that she was nervous again, Lin Wanshu felt helpless.
But so far, she still has a good impression of Fang Qiuyan.
Therefore, she slowed down her voice and said, "No problem. The medicine you picked is very precious. It completely exceeds the medical expenses of yesterday. For the rest, I will charge you according to the market price."
Hearing this, Fang Qiuyan's eyes widened, as if she couldn't understand what Lin Wanshu meant.
"You...you said you wanted to give me money?"
Lin Wanshu nodded.
"Yes, this medicine is very precious. I can't take it from you for free. I will charge you 3 cents per pound according to the market price."
But when Fang Qiuyan heard this, she waved her hands repeatedly.
"How can that be? You treat my child and you still want to give me money, what kind of person am I then?"
Although she was very poor, Fang Qiuyan would never take advantage of others.
