Team Leader Liu sent someone by motorcycle to take Fang Yan and her child, along with Qi Bei, back to Gouzi Village.
Oh, Qibei was initially riding on the back of the motorcycle with Fang Yan and her son.
Later, it complained that the motorcycle was too bumpy.
Its bottom hurt from being jostled around so many times.
Upon reaching the center of the county town, it demanded to get off and ran back on its own.
Large dogs need to get a certain amount of exercise every day.
Previously, Qibei would follow the oxcart every day, traveling back and forth between Gouzi Village and the county town.
Fang Yan didn't object, but asked the younger comrades in the column to slow down the car so that Qi Bei could keep up.
Early spring and early summer are truly sensible and diligent.
When Fang Yan returned home, she had washed all the dozens of kilograms of pig intestines and pig head meat she had bought that day.
"Third Aunt, I was afraid you'd be too busy when you got back, so I blanched them first and cut the pig intestines into sections. I'm not very good at handling pig head meat, so I didn't dare cut it."
Chu Chun was afraid that Fang Yan would scold her if she acted on her own initiative.
She nervously clutched the hem of her clothes and looked at Fang Yan as she spoke.
"Oh! Really?"
Thank you so much, Chuchun! If you hadn't done all these things for me, I don't know how long I would have been busy today. Thank you so much!
Fang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then hugged her with great joy and sincerely thanked her.
She was genuinely happy that Chu Chun had taken care of these things ahead of time, saving her a lot of time.
They went to three different places today. If it weren't for Captain Liu sending someone to bring them back on a motorcycle...
If they waited for them to slowly make their way back in their oxcart, it would probably be dark by then.
If I had come back then and dealt with all this, I don't know how late I would have been busy tonight.
Seeing that Fang Yan was not angry at all, but instead happily hugged him.
Chu Chun laughed happily, "No...you're welcome."
Third Aunt was so good to them; she was willing to help them with anything.
Fang Yan was quick and efficient; she immediately put the pig intestines and pig head meat that she would be selling tomorrow into the pot to braise.
"In early summer, set up a large fire and burn it."
Just as Fang Yan was preparing the braising ingredients, Chu Xia had already spontaneously and consciously sat down in front of the stove and started a fire.
After preparing all the ingredients and seasonings, Fang Yan said to Chu Xia.
Early summer, "Okay."
"In early spring, go to the vegetable garden and pick three or four tomatoes, then gather a handful of cabbage seedlings, and make a soup for dinner."
Fang Yan had something on her mind. She couldn't wait to find Zhang Zongde and Aunt De to tell them about her unexpected gains at the column today. She turned around and said to Chu Chun.
Early spring and early summer have been frequently eating at Fang Yan's place lately, so many times that Fang Yan is starting to feel a little embarrassed. "Third Aunt, we don't want to..."
"I have something to do. I need to go see my uncle and aunt. Could you please prepare my dinner for tonight and also keep an eye on them for me?"
Fang Yan knew what she meant, interrupted her, and pointed to Xiaoyuzai and Qibei, who were staring at each other for some unknown reason.
After she said that, Chu Chun couldn't refuse anymore, so she obediently went to the vegetable garden to pick tomatoes and weed seedlings.
After arranging everything, Fang Yan went next door to find Aunt De.
Coincidentally, the village chief came to Zhang Zongde to discuss some matters.
They haven't left yet.
If everything is there, that's even better.
"Aunt De, do you have a quieter room?"
Fang Yan asked Aunt De.
It's not that I'm afraid someone in Zhang Zongde's family will betray me.
But Zhang Zongde's grandchildren are still young, and if they overhear even a word or two, they might blurt it out to others...
Another thing is, with so many kids, it gets so noisy.
Forget about discussing business, their noise is giving me a throbbing headache.
As soon as Aunt De saw Fang Yan's expression, she immediately understood what she was talking about.
A quiet room with relatively good soundproofing was quickly vacated.
"You guys, go outside and play, or go find Little Fish and Qibei and see what they're doing."
Aunt De also managed to send away her grandchildren, whom even dogs and cats disliked.
Fang Yan, Zhang Zongde, and the other three entered the room. Once the door was closed, the world seemed to quiet down.
"Uncle, village chief, Aunt De, do you remember if my mother-in-law took any medicine made from sandalwood and white powder when she was sick?"
"Yes, of course we have them!"
Fang Yan had barely finished speaking when she heard Aunt De say something.
"How did you know?" Fang Yan was quite surprised, her eyes widening considerably.
What a wonderful day it is today!
The case, which had been stalled for so long, has unexpectedly yielded so many positive results today.
Aunt De looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Don't you know that when people in our village catch a cold, the old barefoot doctor likes to have them boil sandalwood and several other common herbs together in water to drink?"
Fang Yan: ...
How could she possibly know?
When the original owner married into the family, the old barefoot doctor had already passed away.
"Purple sandalwood is a good medicine for treating colds. For a common cold, drinking two or three bowls of it will make you feel about 70-80% better."
The village chief added, "Furthermore, on Lion's Roar Ridge, there's sandalwood, which is free. So, for common colds, people in our village usually use it to treat them."
Fang Yan thought to herself, "Luckily, we were poor in this era and couldn't afford ginseng."
Fortunately, Gouzi Village and the ginseng-producing north are located in the south and north, respectively, spanning the entire country.
Otherwise, who knows how many people would die silently from "illness".
"Why are you suddenly bringing up sandalwood white sandalwood from the third brother's family?"
Zhang Zongde, who hadn't spoken until now, got straight to the point when he did.
Fang Yan then told them about the old man she met in the column and what she had heard. "That old man was also a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He said that sandalwood powder and ginseng soup are incompatible. After taking sandalwood powder, it is best to wait a day or two or three days before taking ginseng soup to achieve the desired nourishing effect."
If you take ginseng soup within two or three hours of consuming sandalwood, it will cause great damage to your internal organs.
If taken like this for two or three consecutive days, the internal organs will fail, and the person will appear as if they died of illness.
"Good heavens! Is there really such a saying?"
Aunt De was pale with fear. "Luckily, we've been poor all these years, barely able to afford enough to eat. We don't have the spare money to buy ginseng slices. Otherwise, in our village alone, I don't know how many people would have died for no reason."
After all, even today, many people in the village still go into the mountains to find sandalwood to brew medicine when they catch a cold.
The use of sandalwood white is still quite widespread in Gouzi Village.
"Isn't the old barefoot doctor from a family with three generations of medical experience? Doesn't he even know that?"
Fang Yan was quite surprised, but then her thoughts shifted, and she realized something was wrong!
