Chapter 181: Repaying a Favor
Shen Yichuan noticed it first, so he ran over and asked, “Who are you and why are you hiding here secretly?”
The little boy blushed and then came out from behind the wall. He looked about six or seven years old.
The little boy handed the two eggs to Chen Fenghe and said, "Doctor, my mother asked me to bring these to you. She said you can cure my illness. As long as my illness can be cured, I can go to private school again next year."
Chen Fenghe looked at the two eggs held in his two little hands, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.
This time she didn't even prescribe any herbs for them, but simply told them that salt or seafood could cure the disease. She hadn't done anything yet, but the villagers had already sent her gifts of thanks.
It can be seen that the people in this village are simple and honest.
Qin Mengyue also came over and said with a smile: "Hey, what do you mean? Whose child are you?"
When the little boy heard the question, he politely bowed like a scholar and said, "My name is Changlin."
Seeing his formal etiquette, Chen Fenghe smiled and said, "Changlin, right? You can take the eggs back. I want to thank your mother for her kindness, but eggs are so valuable that we can't accept them. Ask your mother to cook them for you. Eat more eggs and other things, and your illness will heal faster. You can also go to private school as soon as possible, right?"
The little boy got anxious and said, "No! My mother said that people should be grateful and repay kindness. Sister, you told us how to cure the disease. These two eggs were meant for you!"
Having said that, he stuffed the egg into Chen Fenghe's hand without saying anything, and then ran away regardless of Chen Fenghe's shouts.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but smile helplessly.
She certainly had no shortage of eggs, but at this moment, these two eggs seemed to be more valuable than all the eggs stored in her space.
Qin Mengyue couldn't help but smile with emotion and said, "I didn't expect that in such a remote place like this, there would be such a bookish and gentlemanly child... But seeing how badly he suffered from this egg, we feel really bad about accepting it."
Chen Fenghe pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Mom, this is his mother's love after all. If we don't accept it, we will be betraying their kindness. I think we should make egg drop soup with these two eggs tonight. Tomorrow, I will go to the market to buy some other things and give them as a return gift."
Qin Mengyue listened, nodded, and said with a smile: "This is a good idea. Feng He, you are very thoughtful. If you insist on not accepting it, it will hurt their friendship. It is better to accept it and then return the gift."
After the two of them agreed, Chen Fenghe rinsed two eggs with boiling water, added a few drops of sesame oil, and made a simple egg drop soup.
After dinner, Chen Fenghe went to deliver medicine to Xiao Yunshuo. Late at night, while Qin Mengyue and the three little ones were asleep, she entered the space and harvested crops and medicinal herbs. By the way, she checked how much seafood she had in her space.
At first glance, it was not a big deal, there were actually not many.
When she was stocking up in Beijing before, because Beijing was originally located inland, although there were seafood stores, the stocks in the stores were not much, and Chen Fenghe bought out all of them but didn't buy much.
Moreover, during the exile, they basically traveled on dry land. She would only secretly take out some dried scallops and other things and put them into the pot to enhance the flavor when making soup. If she took them out openly, it would definitely arouse other people's suspicion.
Therefore, she didn't stock up too much.
However, the amount currently in the space is almost enough.
She brought some kelp, dried shrimps and scallops, planning to give them out as a return gift tomorrow.
