Chapter 414: The Hardworking Old Bee, Mrs. Luo, Thought She Had Taken Off Her Hat
"Is there any side effect on the body?" Luo Xinxin asked.
Although she hated Old Lady Luo, she didn't want to drug her to death.
"It will just cause a calcium deficiency, but it won't affect anything else." Li Long told the truth.
Luo Xinxin felt relieved and put the two packets of medicine into the space. Li Rong had to go to work, so she drove the carriage to take them to the train station.
"Hide this money and don't take it out. You can spend this change outside. This bag contains Moutai liquor, malted milk, and snacks. This bag is all meat, including beef jerky and bacon. This bag contains old clothes and fabrics. I sent a letter to my second uncle and asked your brother to pick you up at the station."
On the way, Luo Xinxin gave detailed instructions like an old mother.
"Niece-in-law, the money is too much. I can't accept it."
The money was wrapped in cloth. Li Long pinched it and saw it was thick, so he knew there must be a lot of it. He felt embarrassed to accept so much money.
"We have high salaries and more money than we can spend. Take it. The school shouldn't be too frugal. Eat what you need and spend what you need."
Luo Xinxin gently touched his head. Li Long did not turn his head away this time, but his face still blushed. He carefully hid the money in the pocket inside his clothes. Xiaobai was lying on his chest. If someone was so blind as to try to steal the money, Xiaobai would definitely take advantage of it.
The reason why she didn't give the high priest money was because Luo Xinxin felt that the old man was not very reliable and Li Long was more stable.
After arriving at the station, Luo Xinxin went to buy platform tickets and sent them on the train. The high priest was on the lower bunk and Li Long was on the upper bunk. It was the first time for both of them to take a sleeper berth. Like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, everything they saw was new to them.
"Come back and stay during summer vacation. If you're hungry, go to the dining car and eat. Don't be reluctant!"
The train was about to start, so Luo Xinxin quickly got off and ran to the window to give instructions.
"Got it, niece-in-law, go back!"
Li Long stuck his head out, and next to it was the high priest's head, filling the entire window. As the train moved away, the two heads became smaller and smaller, turning into tiny black dots until they disappeared.
Luo Xinxin returned to the family building and gave two packets of medicine powder to Luo Weian, asking him to give the medicine to Old Lady Luo.
After a long time, Luo Weian guessed that it was this kid Li Long who did it, but he didn't say anything. He was happy to see Old Lady Luo being transformed, and the result made him extremely satisfied.
After the Lantern Festival, Luo Weian also had to go back to the farm to work, and he took the hardworking old lady Luo with him. Luo Xinxin was too lazy to see him off, so she let Luo Weian drive Xiaohong back to the farm by himself, and she would bring Xiaohong back next time she went to the farm.
Old Mrs. Luo, who was sitting in the carriage, was not idle either. She took out a rag from her bag and started to beautify the carriage. After arriving at the farm, the carriage looked brand new.
After returning home, Grandma Luo cleaned the house immediately. During the Chinese New Year period, Erya would come to clean the house every now and then. The house was not dirty, but it was because Grandma Luo couldn't sit still.
"Erya, Xinxin asked me to bring these to you. Take them to school!"
Luo Weian went to find Erya with a bag containing malted milk, snacks, and beef jerky.
After the Lantern Festival, Erya had to go back to school. She didn't bother to be polite with Luo Weian, accepted the things, and asked about Damao and Ermao.
"You run so fast, like a sprinter. You're the same kid. I asked you to go for the New Year but you refused to go."
When talking about his precious great-grandson, Luo Weian's face was full of smiles.
"I'm spending the New Year with Sister-in-law Xiang on the farm. When I go to work in the city, I'll go see my sister!"
Erya smiled. She also wanted to go to her sister's house to celebrate the New Year, but every time she went, her sister would give her money. Now Daya can earn a salary and sends her money every month. She can no longer accept money from her sister, so she goes less often.
After she goes to work in the city, she can earn money on her own and will visit her sister and Da Mao and Er Mao often.
"Have you found a job?" Luo Weian was a little surprised.
This kid hasn't graduated yet, right?
"I haven't decided on a job yet, but I heard about job openings. I'll take the exam after I graduate in the second half of the year. It shouldn't be a problem."
Erya was very confident because the news was told by her classmate, who had already started working last year. She helped him with the lessons and he successfully passed the exam.
After that, they kept in touch. Her classmate's parents were both cadres in a state-owned factory. With her deliberate inquiries, she learned a lot of inside information from her classmate, including the recruitment information.
Moreover, the recruiting unit is the unit where the classmate's father works. Her father is a middle-level cadre in the unit. The classmate said that as long as her academic scores are passed, the rest will be left to her father.
Luo Weian was surprised. This kid was only sixteen years old, but he was more mature than many adults. He solved the problem quietly.
"Don't stress yourself out. If you don't get a job, Xinxin can help you find one."
He was not cursing the child. It was mainly because there were too few job opportunities here, and most of them were for people with connections. It would be difficult for someone like Erya, who had no connections, to be admitted no matter how good her grades were.
"Um!"
Erya nodded, but didn't say that she was confident she could pass. She wouldn't tell anyone until she got the results.
Luo Weian chatted with Erya for a while before returning home. Passing by Xiang Ermei's house, he saw the eldest daughter, Peng Chunlan, drying herbs. Most of them were common, but a few were quite rare. He couldn't help but stop and asked, "Did your mother dig these herbs?"
"I dug it." Peng Chunlan smiled.
"Do you know herbs?"
Luo Weian was a little surprised. Some of the things were not common, so it was rare for the child to recognize them.
"When I was little, I went to the mountains with my mother to dig herbs. I also read books and could recognize them just by looking at the illustrations in the books."
Peng Chunlan digs herbs to supplement the family income. When she was a child, her mother raised her and her three sisters by digging herbs. Although her father had a high salary, he sent very little money to the family, not even enough for food and drink.
Luo Weian looked at her with admiration. When he was a child, he often made mistakes in identifying herbs. The herbs in the pictures were somewhat different from the real ones, and he was often scolded for this when he was a child.
This girl is really talented. It would be a shame if she didn't study medicine.
Luo Weian felt a sense of cherishing talent, but the Luo family had an ancestral precept that the inheritance would never be passed down to outsiders, so he decided to teach his great-grandson.
"I have a use for all these herbs. Don't sell them to the purchasing station. Sell them to me."
"Grandpa Luo, just take it. No need to pay."
Peng Chunlan ran into the house to get a basket, filled it with all the herbs, and stuffed it into Luo Weian's hand.
"You have to pay. I collected the herbs for the clinic, and the money was also paid by the clinic."
Luo Weian paid a little more than the price at the purchasing station and gave Peng Chunlan one yuan and twenty cents. The girl was very happy.
One yuan and twenty cents is enough for her and her sister's stationery expenses for one semester. She needs to dig more herbs and try to pay for her own tuition so that her mother won't have to work so hard.
Luo Weian was carrying the herbs home when he ran into Huang Jinxiang on the way. He shouted to him from a distance, "Doctor Luo, congratulations on taking off your hat! You and Xinxin are truly grandfather and grandson. You took off your hat so quickly!"
Old Mrs. Luo, who had come out to get water, heard this. She was stunned for a moment, then rushed towards Luo Weian in ecstasy and asked excitedly, "Old man, did you take off my hat too?"
