After lunch, Wang Yanmei and Xu Qingzhi went to the hospital to deliver the meal.

The task of picking vegetables was left to Xu Fuqiang.

It was noon, and there were no buses from the county to the village, but there were five-seat trams that could be shared, and they left when they were full. However, the bus fare was five yuan, and the tram fare was ten yuan, and Xu Fuqiang had been reluctant to spend the money.

This time, Xu Fuqiang weighed the ten yuan in his hand and said, "Ten yuan is not enough, give me twenty yuan, and I will take the tram back!"

Wang Yanmei laughed and took out another ten yuan from her wallet and put it in his hand. "Okay, it's so sunny, you should take the tram back. Otherwise, you won't know how long you will have to wait for the bus at the roundabout. You should pick the vegetables earlier and come back earlier."

Arrived at the hospital.

Wang Kaifu is now able to get out of bed and move around. He not only feels much better than before, but he even looks more energetic than many young people who stay up late. The tumor that was originally pressing on his nerves has actually become smaller.

Although it is very small and insignificant.

However, Wang Kaifu's attending physician would excitedly say a few words every time he came to check on him, saying that it could be called a medical miracle and that he had never seen such a case.

Wang Kaifu said with a smile: "It must be the ginseng my granddaughter bought for me that has good medicinal effects. Since I drank the ginseng water, I enjoy my meals more and my mood has improved a lot."

Xu Qingzhi heard this and smiled helplessly: "Grandpa, the doctor's medical skills are amazing. How can a disease be cured by drinking ginseng water?"

The doctor's smile was filled with pride. He told the old man to eat quickly and left.

Wang Kaifu went to see the doctor and left. He looked at Xu Qingzhi and said firmly in a low voice, "It's because your ginseng water works well. I didn't even have the energy to drink water before, but after drinking ginseng water, I feel energetic all over."

Xu Qingzhi smiled.

After all, it was grown from spiritual medicine seeds, how could it be bad? But if she said it directly, and someone checked the unknown origin of the ginseng, she would be targeted.

She doesn't want to cause any sensation. She just wants to live out her retirement in peace and comfort.

The old man who was admitted to the next bed was a while ago. After hearing what Wang Kaifu said, he was a little tempted by the ginseng and took the initiative to ask, "Brother, is the ginseng your granddaughter bought really that effective?"

"Of course it's true." Wang Kaifu put down his chopsticks and stood up to jump on the ground to show his vitality. "Look, I was lying in bed half a month ago and couldn't move. I couldn't even drink water."

Wang Yanmei quickly held her father down and said, "Just say what you want to say. Don't jump around and be careful not to hurt your waist."

Wang Kaifu had no choice but to sit down and continue eating. Well, this bok choy is really delicious.

The old man next to him thought that what the doctor said couldn't be false, so he continued to ask: "Where did your sister buy the ginseng? How much was it?"

Wang Kaifu took the time to make the number six with his fingers.

"Six thousand?"

Wang Kaifu pursed his lips, "Sixty thousand!"

The old man gasped, "It's so expensive, I can't afford it. My son is getting married at the end of the year, and I have to save the little money I have to buy him a house."

Wang Kaifu doesn't care about other people's affairs.

House is the root of Chinese people, and most people want to buy a new house.

After staying in the hospital for a few hours and waiting for her grandmother to arrive, Xu Qingzhi and her mother went back.

"Even if you sell me, I'm not worth a million. Let him work hard on his own."

Xu Qingzhi joked: "Our family is so poor, so my brother might not be able to find a wife."

"Your brother is still studying, so don't mention these things in front of him. Let him concentrate on his studies."

Xu Qingzhi responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'm just joking."

"Your brother is very busy with his studies right now, so don't dance around in front of him." Wang Yanmei gave another warning and looked in the direction of Meicheng No. 1 Middle School. "I don't know if your brother is doing well in school. I haven't seen him for almost a month."

"Isn't tomorrow the weekend? I remember their school will be closed on Sunday afternoon. If you miss your son, just go and see him." Xu Qingzhi said.

Wang Yanmei grabbed her short-sleeved shirt that had almost turned white from washing, her eyebrows flickering, "No, don't disturb him from studying."

"It's vacation time, there's no need to disturb him. People can't study 24 hours a day. It's a good opportunity for you to go and get him some pocket money. Also, he has only liked cucumbers and doesn't like other fruits since he was a child. It's a good opportunity to bring him some tomorrow."

Wang Yanmei patted Xu Qingzhi's arm and said, "Isn't it embarrassing? Other people's parents gave foreign fruits like cherries as gifts. These small red fruits cost five yuan each. We brought a worthless cucumber to visit your brother. We will be laughed at."

"What a joke! They never eat cucumbers?" Xu Qingzhi shook his head. "The cucumbers I grow are so delicious and can beautify your skin. Don't be stingy. Give some to your brother to get rid of his acne."

She wouldn't reason with her mother because it wouldn't work.

She remembered that her brother had some acne on his face when he was in high school, and later on, he was left with ugly acne scars. Now that there is a chance, he must take good care of himself. After all, the family is poor, and if that handsome face is ruined, no girl will be interested in him.

Wang Yanmei was angry. She was not stingy at all. It was just a worthless cucumber.

No, cucumbers now cost two hundred yuan per pound.

But she just thought...it would embarrass Zijun at school.

Xu Qingzhi didn't listen at all. Wang Yanmei saw that nothing she said was working, so she just sighed and decided to buy some red fruits and send them over tomorrow.

No, when did she say she was going? Before Wang Yanmei could react, Xu Qingzhi had already dragged her to the pedestrian street for shopping.

"Mom, you made money today, you have to buy me two nice sets of clothes, otherwise I won't grow vegetables." Xu Qingzhi said proudly.

Wang Yanmei snorted twice, "Whether you want to plant or not, I don't care."

Xu Qingzhi took her mother to a clothing store and said as she was choosing clothes: "Mom, do you remember when I was a kid, I insisted on getting a dollar of pocket money before I would go to school in the afternoon?"

"Is this true?"

"Yes!" Xu Qingzhi said firmly, "I was throwing a tantrum and rolling on the bed crying, and you said to me, 'I don't care whether you study or not, studying is your own business, not mine,' and then you left."

"Why do you bring this up?"

Xu Qingzhi finally saw a dress she liked, took it off the shelf, and handed it to her mother, "Mom, this dress looks good, go to the fitting room over there and try it on."

"Aren't I buying clothes for you? I don't want to buy them." Wang Yanmei quickly pushed it away.
