The next day was Sunday, and Jiaojiao took a group of friends up the mountain to pick wild fruits. Each of them carried a small basket and picked a variety of wild fruits.
Qin Zhongyi rushed over from Dr. Qi's house early in the morning and waited excitedly at the captain's house for the children to return from picking wild fruits.
When Qin Zhongyi heard that a group of children had gone up the mountain to pick wild fruits for him, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had brought a bag of sugar from the old Chinese doctor Qi's house before leaving. Otherwise, he would have felt embarrassed to have so many children helping him pick wild fruits.
The children came down the mountain singing and skipping. Qin Zhongyi gave each of them two candies, without bias. He also took out money to exchange for wild fruits.
"Grandpa, please help us exchange candy next time!" Jiaojiao peeled off the candy wrapper and put a piece in her mouth.
The other children nodded quickly. Money is no good, candy is more economical!
Qin Zhongyi picked up some of each wild fruit, and then all the red fruits. At midnight that day, he appeared at the Lin family in the provincial capital.
The red fruit's effects were very noticeable. He ate one yesterday and had several black bowel movements. He felt more relaxed than ever. He ate another one today and had black bowel movements again. He knew that the toxins in his body were being gradually eliminated.
This red fruit must be delivered to the Lin family immediately.
In the middle of the night, Lin Zhongxiao was plagued by bone pain and couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned, feeling dizzy and nauseous. He got up and went to the bathroom to vomit. Returning to bed, unable to fall asleep, he simply turned on the desk lamp and began reading.
In the silent night, the sound of a car driving could be heard in the distance. After a while, the car stopped at the gate of the Lin family.
Lin Zhongxiao stood up and stood in front of the window. He pulled open a corner of the curtain and saw his car driving into the yard.
Uncle Qin is back!
Lin Zhongxiao showed a hint of anticipation on his face, wondering if he could bring back good medicinal herbs this time.
Qin Zhongyi saw that Lin Zhongxiao's window was lit from the yard. He got out of the car and hurried upstairs.
"Zhongxiao! Look what I brought back!"
As soon as Qin Zhongyi entered the house, he couldn't wait to take out the red fruits.
"I'll wash two for you, you can try them!"
Qin Zhongyi quickly washed two red fruits, but did not give them all to Lin Zhongxiao at once.
"Try one first!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhongxiao carefully put the red fruit into his mouth.
The red fruit melts in your mouth, with a hint of sweetness, but the taste is not particularly amazing.
It took Lin Zhongxiao a while to understand why Qin Zhongyi was so excited.
"This fruit?"
Qin Zhongyi nodded immediately and said excitedly, "Zhongxiao, I brought back a lot! Eat as much as you can! After you finish eating, we will go catch more!"
Lin Zhongxiao was overjoyed: "Really? So many? Is the effect very good? Then won't all our comrades be saved?"
Qin Zhongyi nodded: "Let's take it for a while and see the specific effects."
He took out the jade box from his arms again: "And these! Two!"
"Eat this one too! I'll make you some ginseng soup!"
Last year, when Lin Zhongxiao was on the verge of death, his old friend Qi Jiaping specially sent him a wild ginseng. He immediately boiled a bowl of wild ginseng soup and gave it to Lin Zhongxiao to drink.
After taking a dose of Ginseng Soup, Lin Zhongxiao slowly regained consciousness and gradually recovered. Although he couldn't compare to a healthy person, at least his life had been saved, and his condition was still improving.
However, Lin Zhongxiao was exposed to too much radiation and his body was full of toxins. After a year and a half, his condition began to worsen again.
Fortunately, God helped Lin Zhongxiao find two more ginseng roots and red fruits before his condition worsened!
While Qin Zhongyi was decocting the medicine, he was thinking in his mind that once Qi Jiaping's house was repaired, he would let Zhongxiao live in Wangjia Village.
After Lin Zhongxiao finished eating two red fruits, he felt warm all over. He hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. Fatigue set in, his eyelids gradually grew heavy, and he fell asleep on the sofa.
When Qin Zhongyi came in after decocting the medicine, he saw Lin Zhongxiao, who had been unable to sleep due to the pain, sleeping on the sofa in an extremely awkward position.
Qin Zhongyi couldn't bear to wake him up, and was worried that the medicinal properties contained in the ginseng soup would evaporate, so he had to grit his teeth and wake Lin Zhongxiao up.
Lin Zhongxiao drank the medicine and fell asleep, sleeping soundly until the next night. If it weren't for his steady breathing and normal pulse, Qin Zhongyi would have worried that the red fruit he ate had gone bad.
In Wangjia Village, Master Ma came out of the cafeteria and picked his teeth with a piece of grass.
Seeing Jianguo walking towards him dejectedly from afar, his eyes immediately widened.
Ouch, time to work!
Master Ma stepped forward and greeted him: "Isn't this Jianguo? What happened? I didn't see you at dinner!"
Jianguo raised his eyelids and greeted him weakly.
"I see you've had a romantic encounter recently, but unfortunately the right star hasn't arrived yet. I'm afraid this matter will still have some twists and turns."
Upon hearing this, Jianguo's eyes lit up with surprise: "Master Ma, do you have any way to resolve this?"
Master Ma twirled his beard in a pretentious manner and said, "Well, what do your family members say about this?"
This is a matter of life and death, and a young boy has no say.
Jianguo's face fell when he heard this. His family did not support him, and even Zhou Xinghong did not respond to him. She only said that she would not consider getting married for the time being, nor would she consider finding someone to keep her company.
He hasn't dared to tell his family what Zhou Xinghong said.
Jianguo hesitated, "Master, can you please do this quietly... I'll just talk to you privately, so don't worry about my family. Don't worry, the money won't be missing."
Master Ma held out his hand: "Give me a dime first so I can tell you a fortune. Let's see what the fortune says!"
Jianguo touched his pocket, which was cleaner than his face, and blinked. "How about... just owe it to me first? I'll definitely pay you back later!"
Master Ma immediately understood that his family did not support him! He turned his head and thought, "What a waste of words!"
"Master, Master!" Jianguo chased after him, "Master, you must help me!"
Master Ma walked in front with his head held high, too lazy to pay attention to Jianguo.
Jianguo's marriage was indeed troublesome and full of uncertainties. His family's lack of support made the situation even more uncontrollable. If Jianguo's family couldn't be persuaded, the marriage would be even more difficult.
Master Ma knew that his professional level had not yet been recognized by the people of Wangjia Village, and this job was too difficult, so he decided to give up!
Not far away, between Old Lady Feng’s house and Goudan’er’s house, Old Chinese Doctor Qi was directing people to build a house.
The people working here are all from Wangjia Village. They are efficient and do not mess around.
Master Ma walked over again and asked, "How come this man didn't even ask him to figure out the cost for such a big thing as building a house?"
In just a few days, a row of blue brick and red tile houses rose from the ground.
In order to prevent the moisture from being too heavy, the old Chinese doctor Qi specially lit a brazier in the house and warmed up every corner before deciding to move in.
The next afternoon, a car and a truck arrived at the gate of the newly built house in Wangjia Village. The people in the cars gradually unloaded a lot of things, and finally, a skinny middle-aged man, supported by Qin Zhongyi, stepped out of the car.
The middle-aged man had a pale face, his cheekbones were prominent, his cheeks were sunken, and there was a red ulcer at the corner of his mouth.
