Chapter 299 Can't Sit Still
Who knows, we might even have to blame him and Brother Liu for not taking good care of the child.
Hu Zi didn't want Sister Su to be troubled by these little things.
Hearing Hu Zi say this, Xiao Guai was a little hesitant.
Doctor Su often came to see him during this period, and he noticed how busy he was every time.
He also didn't want her to be too worried and busy because of his illness.
"I understand." Xiaoguai nodded and gave up the idea of taking the job, but then said, "I want to go out and buy some things and send them to Doctor Su to show my gratitude."
It was Doctor Su who cured him of his illness.
He owed a huge favor.
Logically speaking, favors need to be repaid, but as for him now, he is afraid that he is the only one who owes favors to others and has no right to repay them.
Since I can't repay the favor, I can only express my gratitude first.
He had been working at Feimaotui for some time. He had worked day and night taking jobs and running errands, and had saved some money.
Although not much.
"Okay." Liu Tongsheng nodded. "Miss Su has worked hard for a long time, and she doesn't charge for consultation. Even the herbs were given by Zhou's Herbal Medicine Store. It's all for Miss Su's sake. I should thank her."
"Then go ahead. Miss Su lives in the house in Shuanggui Lane. There is a osmanthus tree at the door, the tallest in the whole alley. It is very easy to spot."
"Come back early after you go out." Liu Tong was afraid that Xiaoguai would want to go out to take work again, so he reminded him.
"Yeah." Xiaoguai nodded, "I understand."
Xiaoguai found the two taels of silver he had saved up over the past few days from the pillow in the house and walked out of Feimaotui's door.
After looking around the street for a gift to bring to Dr. Su's house, Xiaoguai hesitated for a long time and finally walked into a spice shop.
Lilac, lily, peach blossom, sandalwood, rose, lotus, agarwood...
Spices were not cheap, so Xiaoguai only bought a little of each and spent all his money.
Xiaoguai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it finally tied up into a square shape and wrapped in small oil paper.
Although the quantity is a bit small and the quality is not very high, I bought all the varieties. Even if the fragrance is not exactly the same when burning, it can be about 70% similar and can be smelled.
Xiaoguai was thinking about this as he walked all the way to Shuanggui Lane, where he found the house with the tall osmanthus tree at the gate that Liu Tongsheng had mentioned.
The gate to the courtyard was ajar.
"Is Doctor Su at home?" Xiaoguai asked as he pushed open the door and walked into the yard.
When they got to the yard, Xiaoguai called out again, "Is Doctor Su here?"
"Doctor Su is not at home." He Yanxiu looked at the child in front of him and answered, "Doctor Su went out after lunch and has not come back since. What do you want to see her for?"
Xiaoguai looked at He Yanxiu, a tall, handsome man with an extraordinary bearing, whom he had never seen before, and subconsciously took a half step back, "Who are you?"
He remembered that Liu Tongsheng and Hu Zige said that Doctor Su was not married and lived here alone. There was Aunt Liu who cooked and Sister Ai Cao who served as a maid at home.
The man in front of him seemed to be very familiar with Doctor Su. Although he looked gentle on the outside, he was actually very imposing...
"I..." He Yanxiu paused, "I am Doctor Su's second cousin, my last name is He."
Turns out they are relatives.
A very young second cousin.
Xiaoguai relaxed his vigilance a little and handed over the oil paper bag in his hand. "I am Xiaoguai from Feimaotu. Doctor Su treated me a few days ago and saved my life. I came here today to thank Doctor Su."
"This is my thank you gift. It's a little small. I hope Mr. He can pass it to Doctor Su for me and tell him that I've been here."
"Okay." He Yanxiu nodded.
Xing'an took the oil paper bag.
As soon as he got it in his hand, Xing'an was attracted by the aroma of the oil paper package and took two deep sniffs, "What a fragrant spice."
Xiaoguai didn't respond, but just bowed to He Yanxiu and said, "Thank you very much. I'll take my leave now."
"Slow down."
After Xiaoguai left the house, Xing'an laughed, "This Xiaoguai is quite grateful. He knew that Miss Su saved him, so he sent a thank-you gift...but he doesn't talk much."
Not only does he talk less, he is even full of arrogance.
And it's not arrogance, but...
He Yanxiu lowered his eyes.
"Second Master, this spice smells really good." Xing An rubbed his nose again, "Just now that little kid said he was one of the best sprinters. Now that sprinters are making so much money, can they afford such nice-smelling spices?"
The aroma of this spice is rich, fresh and elegant, with a long-lasting feeling. It is refreshing and like a hundred flowers blooming. It is really wonderful.
"This incense is called Flower Dew. It is made from the petals of various dried flowers, mixed with agarwood and sandalwood, or made into incense pills with wine, or burned directly as spices. The fragrance it emits is refreshing and long-lasting, but not too strong, and has a moist feeling, a bit like the smell of a flowerbed stained with dew in the early morning of summer, so this is the name of Flower Dew."
He Yanxiu said, "Although the ingredients of this Flower Dew are not complicated and the various spices used are not expensive, the key lies in the ratio of the various flower petals. It can be said that it is quite rare. Even the top spice shops in the capital may not have this Flower Dew. It is rare to find it here in Qinghe."
"I see." Xing'an nodded.
No wonder this spice smells so good.
"I think Miss Su will like it too. This little darling knows how to please her." Xing'an said with a smile.
He Yanxiu nodded, but his smile faded a little.
Little sweetie...
This name has some meaning.
Maybe calling him a little monster would be more suitable.
He Yanxiu picked up the teacup.
The tea in the cup had been drunk up, and Mother Liu came over to add more tea. After hesitating for a long time, she opened her mouth and said, "Is this old servant going to look for the girl?"
He Yanxiu has been waiting for half a day since lunch and has drunk two pots of tea.
"No need. Since your daughter is going out, she must have something to do. Just let her do her thing first."
He didn't want Su Yujin to feel restrained or disturbed because of his visit.
Hearing He Yanxiu say this, Mother Liu stopped trying to persuade him and just stepped back.
He Yanxiu then waited in the hall. When he got tired of waiting, he drank a cup of tea. It was really boring, so he ate a snack while reading...
This went on for countless times. When the sun set and the sky became dark, He Yanxiu still hadn't waited for Su Yujin to come back.
It's so late and you haven't come home yet...
He Yanxiu put down the book.
Even Xing'an was looking forward to it, "Miss Su hasn't come back yet so late, could she have already had dinner outside?"
He Yanxiu sighed.
He thinks so.
After all, Su Yujin didn’t know that he was coming, right?
After waiting for another cup of tea, looking at the moon hanging high outside, He Yanxiu became a little restless.
