"Hey, wait a minute!"

Just when Zhang Xiaochun and Chen Pi were about to go back, Aunt Wang suddenly followed them.

She said with a smile, "Xiaochun, please make some medicine for me!" She had just heard the conversation between the two.

Aunt Wang thought that she and Xu Xingchen had been at odds for a long time, and it was she who started the fabrication of the affair between her and Jun Haoyue. When the insecticide was ready in the future, Xu Xingchen would definitely not give it to her, so she might as well ask someone else for help.

She thinks Zhang Xiaochun is very good.

Seeing Aunt Wang's expression, Zhang Xiaochun felt a little proud. It's just an insecticide, what's so difficult about it!

Isn't it the same if you dissolve rat poison in water and then spray it on the fields?

She agreed without hesitation.

…

After Xu Xingchen returned home, he went to collect his herbs. Those herbs had to be pounded into juice before they could be diluted for use. This was not an easy task!

Seeing her sweaty forehead from working so hard, Jun Haoyue couldn't help but feel distressed: "Let me help you."

"No, go work in the fields!"

Xu Xingchen said she could do this job.

Seeing that she insisted, Jun Haoyue did not continue. He just asked her to rest for a while when she was tired. At worst, he would help her make juice when he came back from the field.

Xu Xingchen agreed readily, and after sending the person out, he got busy again.

However, facts proved that she still overestimated her abilities.

Her palms were already red from being rubbed after only one-third of the herbs were crushed, and it was extremely painful when she moved them even slightly.

She had to stop and start thinking about how to deal with these herbs.

Oh, right, a juicer!

Xu Xingchen asked Mendun'er to help get a juicer, and then separated the herbs and put them in. After a while, piles of medicinal residue appeared.

She packaged the medicine into various small bottles.

"Finally done."

Xu Xingchen let out a long sigh, hugged Mendun'er and gave him a big kiss: "My dear son, I'm lucky to have you!"

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the courtyard door, and a strange voice came: "Is anyone there?"

Xu Xingchen hid Munduner and went out to open the door.

At the door, there was a graceful girl. As soon as they met, she smiled and said, "You should be the Sister Xu your brother mentioned. My name is Zhao Tiantian, and I am here to give you some Aconitum." As she spoke, Zhao Tiantian raised the small basket in her hand, which contained a lot of herbs, exactly what Xu Xingchen needed.

Xu Xingchen was overjoyed and quickly invited the person in: "Please come inside and sit down first."

The feeling Zhao Tiantian gave people was just like her name: "Then I'll trouble Sister Xu."

"It's no trouble. I have to thank you."

Zhao Tiantian's delivery of the herbs was so timely, it really solved her urgent need! After talking, Xu Xingchen realized that the herbs should have been delivered by Zhao Gan.

But he couldn't come due to something urgent, and Zhao Tiantian was interested in the person he often talked about, so she sent it over specially.

Her eyes swept around the room, finally stopping at the row of small bottles. "Is that for insect repellent?"

Xu Xingchen nodded: "Yes, now we are short of Aconitum."

Zhao Tiantian praised sincerely, "No wonder my brother always praises me at home. Sister Xu, you are really amazing! How great it would be if I could be as smart as Sister Xu."

Her sincere praise made Xu Xingchen feel a little embarrassed.

"It's really nothing special, just some random shit. By the way, thank you for your hard work today. How about you have dinner at my house tonight?"

Xu Xingchen has a good impression of Zhao Tiantian.

Zhao Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister."

"Are there guests at home?"

After a while, Jun Haoyue came back from outside. As soon as he reached the door, he heard a strange voice from inside.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhao Tiantian.

Xu Xingchen introduced him, "This is Zhao Gan's sister. She brought us some Aconitum kusnezoffii today. Tiantian, this is my cousin Jun Haoyue."

Zhao Tiantian greeted him immediately.

Jun Haoyue smiled at her as a greeting, and then turned his gaze to Xu Xingchen's hand.

He rushed over and took her hand to examine it carefully: "What's wrong with your hand?"

I saw several small blisters on the palm of my hand.

Xu Xingchen glanced down and said nonchalantly, "It must have been accidentally ground out when I was pounding the medicine. It's okay, it will heal on its own after a while."

Jun Haoyue's expression remained serious: "No, I have to apply medicine to you."

He found an embroidery needle and pricked the blister, then applied medicine to her wounds.

Zhao Tiantian saw this series of actions, and a hint of envy flashed in her bright eyes.

There are such thoughtful men in the world!

She and Xu Xingchen had been talking for quite a while and didn't notice the injury to her hand, but Jun Haoyue saw it as soon as he came back! Such a careful, gentle and rigorous man, it's really hard not to be moved.

The two people over there didn't notice Zhao Tiantian's gaze because they were both very busy.

After treating the wound, Jun Haoyue went straight to the kitchen to prepare food.

Xu Xingchen uses Aconitum kusnezoffii to squeeze juice.

When the meal was ready, several people sat down around the table.

Zhao Tiantian's gaze shifted towards Jun Haoyue, and she suddenly smiled: "Where are you from, Brother Jun? Do you live in Sanwan Village permanently, or are you just living here for a while?"

Jun Haoyue looked surprised when he was suddenly called, but still answered the question.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tiantian asked several more questions and asked about his marriage.

Jun Haoyue frowned and pushed the dish in front of him forward: "Stop talking and eat the food, otherwise it will get cold and won't taste good."

Zhao Tiantian picked up the dish and put it in her mouth, with a hint of admiration in her eyes: "This dish is better than what my family makes. Brother Jun is a great cook."

Xu Xingchen, who was ignored, ate his meal in silence. He couldn't help but glared at Jun Haoyue secretly.

Damn, there must be too much vinegar in this dish, why does it have a faint sour taste!

Because he was depressed, Xu Xingchen had no appetite.

After eating a few mouthfuls, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and continued to squeeze juice. Among all the herbs, Aconitum carmichaelii had the largest proportion, so she had to get more to make enough.

The two people who were left at the dinner table didn't say much. After the meal, Zhao Tiantian asked Jun Haoyue to send her out.

She winked at him.

"Brother Jun, I have to charge for these medicinal herbs I brought you! However, since you and my brother are acquaintances, I can give them to you for free! But you have to take me out. You don't have to take me too far, just to the banyan tree at the entrance of the village. My carriage will be waiting for me there."

Jun Haoyue thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll take you out."
