Chapter 7272: Buy

Wang Zhen saw that Zhou Huaian was hesitant to speak, so he smiled and asked, "Grandpa, did you find the book on growing herbs that you helped Brother Zhou find?"

Doctor Wang looked at Zhou Huaian and said, "There's nothing suitable in the bookstore. I'll give you an old book I found at a scrap collection station. Take a good look at it. It should be helpful to you!"

Zhou Huaian waved his hands quickly, "Grandpa, I'm not in a hurry. I'll buy it when I find something suitable!"

After hearing this, Doctor Wang laughed and said, "I'm in the store every day now, so it won't be of much use to keep it. If you take it, it will be of use!" After that, he went to the clinic.

Zhou Huaian turned his head and looked at Yang Chunyan, "What if the old man really doesn't want money?"

"They like to eat mushrooms. Go get some and send them over when you have time."

"When the mushrooms come out, give them some every time you go into town!"

At this time, Wang Zhen came out of the house with a stack of big unity and handed it to Yang Chunyan, "Sister Yang, there are 897 yuan in total, can you count it?"

"Okay!" Yang Chunyan said after counting, "Yes, please write a note for me."

"Okay!" Wang Zhen wrote her a note, "The purchase price of magnolia is good these days, you can buy more and send it to me."

Yang Chunyan took it and said, "Okay!" She remembered that there was Magnolia officinalis in the West Hill. If there were other places, they could only go to the South Hill or the southwest corner.

Zhou Huaian looked at the thick Great Unity with joy in his eyes.

Doctor Wang came over with a book wrapped in brown paper. "This is called Medicinal Plant Cultivation. When I found it, the cover was gone, but the table of contents and content are still intact."

Zhou Huaian took it with both hands, "Thank you, old man. I will definitely take a good look at it."

Doctor Wang smiled and said, "Look, there are no herbs being planted yet. If they are planted well, they should be better than your crops!"

"I'll remember that. Thank you, old man!" Zhou Huaian responded respectfully and handed the book to Yang Chunyan to put in her bag.

The two came out of the backyard of Dr. Wang's house. Zhou Huaian looked at Yang Chunyan and said, "Yan'er, I'll go up the mountain and look for Magnolia officinalis trees when I get back."

"Didn't you say you would take a good rest this afternoon?"

"Ha, one trip will earn us a few hundred dollars. If we find a few dozen more to peel and pick the flowers, after a few trips we will have enough money to buy a tractor."

"I was planning to help you make the bee hat at home today. If you want to go, we can go to the beams in the southwest corner and take a look."

"Forget it, you just take a good rest at home today. I'll go and call Erchun to go up the mountain with me and find a beehive while we're at it!"

Yang Chunyan looked back at him and said, "I don't mind if you ask Erchun to go with you, but don't tell them that we sell herbs, especially Magnolia officinalis!"

Seeing her serious look, Zhou Huaian nodded and said, "I won't say anything, just find the beehive."

Yang Chunyan suddenly remembered the search for rock honey in her previous life, "Don't go into the mountains to look for honeycombs. It will be troublesome if you encounter a black bear."

"Yeah!" Zhou Huaian looked at her with a smile, "My wife is still the best. Cai Ermei's wife chases him into the mountains to look for honey every day."

After hearing this, Yang Chunyan suddenly felt that Zhou Huaian might not have been the one who went to the mountains to look for Yan Mi in the previous life, so she held him back and said, "Huaian, I don't think Cai Ermei is as honest as Dakuan and Erchun, so you should not trust him too much."

Hearing her speak ill of her friend, Zhou Huaian felt uncomfortable, "I'm not a three-year-old kid who believes everything others say!"

Yang Chunyan frowned and said, "Don't be unhappy. You will understand if you observe carefully."

"I understand. Let's go!" Zhou Huaian smiled and pulled her.

"Yes!" When the two of them walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Yang Chunyan said, "Huaian, you see, mom's clothes are all patched up. Let's go buy some cloth and make clothes for them."

Zhou Huaian nodded, and suddenly remembered that his grandfather and the old man were wearing straw sandals. "Yan'er, my mother, the old man, and grandpa's rain boots and rubber shoes are all worn out and we can't bear to buy new ones. Can we buy them a pair?"

"Do you know what size they wear?"

"Grandpa and the old man's feet are the same size as mine, damn, I don't know."

"Then buy it for them first, and buy it for mom next time!"

“Yes!”

This time they sold for more than 800 yuan. After deducting the money for the three sisters-in-law, they had more than 400 yuan left, and the two of them became generous.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and asked the salesperson, and was told that khaki cloth cost 7.8 cents a foot with a ticket, 9 cents a foot without a ticket, and pure cotton floral cloth cost only 6 cents without a ticket.

Yang Chunyan thought it was too cheap, so she bought three colors of cloth, blue-gray, dark gray, and lead gray, and bought enough cloth to make a set of clothes. A set of clothes for an adult required seven feet of cloth.

The three sets of clothes cost a total of 18.9 yuan, and I spent a few more yuan to buy two pieces of fine floral cotton, a few pieces of fine cloth in an old-fashioned color, and a few feet of navy blue work cloth.

When Yang Chunyan saw the plastic sandals, she remembered how the children had taken care of her in her previous life, so she bought a pair of sandals for each of the children before buying boots and rubber shoes.

Jiefang rubber shoes cost 3 yuan a pair, and tube boots cost 9.3 yuan a pair. Zhou Huaian felt warm in his heart when he saw Yang Chunyan bought so many for the elderly and children in the family without blinking an eye.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Huaian took over the backpack that Yang Chunyan was carrying and said, "Put the backpack in the bamboo basket and I'll push it."

"Um!"

Yang Chunyan followed him forward. The chicken bus stopped creaking as there was nothing left on it. After crossing the intersection and walking to the second intersection, the aroma of beef wafted out from the rice tube at the corner.

Zhou Huaian stopped and looked at Yang Chunyan, "Yan'er, I'll buy you some beef noodles!"

"I'm not hungry yet, are you?"

"I'm not hungry either. I thought you liked to eat."

Yang Chunyan glanced at him and said, "Next time, come over on foot and we'll have beef noodles!"

"You have the final say!"

Zhou Huaian thought women were really strange. They bought fabrics and shoes without blinking an eye, but were reluctant to have a bowl of noodles when asked to do so.

The two of them walked around the corner and headed towards the bridge. A young and beautiful girl wearing a floral skirt and a baseball cap came towards them. Zhou Huaian thought the dress was really beautiful and wondered when he would buy it for his daughter Chunyan to wear.

The two arrived at the bridge head and looked around but didn't see any tractor, so they had to push the chicken bus back. After crossing the bridge and going uphill, Zhou Huaian pulled Yang Chunyan onto the chicken bus and pushed her forward.

The chicken bus started creaking again.

Yang Chunyan took out the book "Medicinal Planting and Cultivation" from her bag and opened it to see the catalog: roots and underground rhizomes, including Panax notoginseng, Chuanxiong, Chinese yam, etc., and whole herbs; including Daqing, Rehmannia glutinosa, Catharanthus roseus, etc.; bark, including Magnolia officinalis...

She raised her head happily, "Huaian, look here, there is a lesson on how to plant Magnolia officinalis."

"Take a good look at it when you get back and have some time."

Yang Chunyan nodded and lowered her head to read.

When they got home, Zhou's mother and her family were already having lunch. When Zhou Xiaoru saw them, she excitedly shouted, "Dad, Auntie is back."

Zhou Xiaolin tugged at Yang Chunyan's skirt, tiptoed, and asked in a baby voice, "Aunt, did you buy us some candy?"

Yang Chunyan touched her face and said, "I didn't buy you any candy, but I bought you some nice plastic sandals. Do you want to wear them?"

"Really?" Zhou Xiaoqian put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran out, "Aunt, I want to see."

"We all have them?" Zhou Jiaming and others also ran out happily.

"We have them all. Everyone has a pair. Wait for your aunt to bring them out and then find the right one for you." Zhou Huaian said to Zhou Jiaming and Zhou Xiaoqian, "Go get some water for your father and bring it out after you wash his face."

"Let's go get some water!" Zhou Xiaoqian and Zhou Jiaming ran towards the kitchen.
