As the kang mat was spread out, the children's faces were filled with surprise.
"Wow, this kang mat is so beautiful."
"Yes, it's really beautiful, as beautiful as the sky with stars."
"It's so clean. It feels like the room is clean all of a sudden."
"I really want to lie down on it and try it. Mom, can I lie down on it now?"
Seeing the children so happy, Su Miaomiao was happy too.
She nodded.
"Of course you can. You guys lie down. I'll go get some clean water and wipe the kang mat clean."
"Mom, we can clean it ourselves, you should go and take a rest."
Seeing this, Su Miaomiao nodded and said.
"My dears, you are so sensible. Then you clean it yourselves. I will go and spread the mat for your Uncle Zhang Xing."
As she was speaking, she turned around and found that Zhang Xing was no longer in the room.
After she got off the ground, she quickly walked to the door of Zhang Xing's house and saw that Zhang Xing had already made the bed.
Seeing him coming, Zhang Xing said excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, this thing is really good, I like it."
Zhang Xing kept calling her "sister-in-law," and Su Miaomiao got used to hearing these two words.
"As long as you like it."
Su Miaomiao curled the corners of her mouth, and her gaze fell on Zhang Xing.
She lowered her eyes and said seriously.
"Zhang Xing, our current conditions are not good, and I'm sorry that you and we have suffered, but don't worry, with your eldest brother and I here, our family will live better and better in the future."
Seeing Su Miaomiao's guilty look, the smile on Zhang Xing's face froze.
He reacted and shook his head quickly.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I was the one who insisted on coming here with you. Even if I have to endure hardships, it's not your fault. Besides, I don't feel it's hard. I can ride with you and see the world, eat so many delicious dishes you cook, and especially be by General Xiao's side. I feel very happy."
Zhang Xing spoke sincerely, and he paused before continuing.
"General Xiao is no ordinary man. I believe that no matter where he is, he will live the life he wants on his own. I have great confidence in you and in the future."
When he said this, he raised his head and looked at Su Miaomiao with bright eyes.
"Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter that we're living through hardship now. I'll be looking for places where I can set up a medical stall and provide medical services. I can provide medical care to supplement our family income. Let's save money together to build a house and start a prosperous life."
After listening to Zhang Xing say so much, Su Miaomiao felt warm in her heart.
She said with a curl of her lips.
"Our family isn't that short of money right now, so you don't have to rush to make money. Let's first understand the situation here and take our time."
Su Miaomiao thought that the mountains in the north not only had a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, but also many precious medicinal herbs.
Moreover, in this day and age, there are many herbs that villagers don’t know about, and the mountains have not been damaged, so there may be more good things.
Thinking of this, she decided to go to the back mountain tomorrow to try her luck.
So she said to Zhang Xing.
"I'm going to take a look at the back mountain tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
"Yes, I also plan to go to the back mountain to see if there are any herbs that can be used."
His master said that the conditions in each region are different, and the prescriptions should be adjusted accordingly when treating patients.
There are many herbs that are available in the Central Plains but may not be available here, and there are herbs here that may not be available in the Central Plains.
Most of the medicinal materials in the prescriptions he had written before were commonly found in the Central Plains. They were locally available and did not need to be transported from far away places.
This will reduce the cost of medication, save some money for local people, and allow more people to afford medical treatment.
But now he has come to the north, this bitter and cold place, and he doesn't know if there are any herbs in the mountains here.
He saw that the grass and trees here were growing lushly, and felt that the black soil here must be quite fertile, but he didn't know how the herbs were growing.
Hopefully there are the herbs he wants here.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Miaomiao speaking happily.
"We have the same idea, so let's make it a deal. Let's get up early tomorrow and go up the mountain after dinner."
"Okay, it's a deal."
"Then if you have nothing else to do, go to bed early. Oh, I forgot to ask you, are you hungry now? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"
"I ate a lot tonight, I'm not hungry."
Su Miaomiao left Zhang Xing's room and went to the children's room.
Hearing the children say they were not hungry, she felt relieved. After telling the children to go to bed early, she returned to her and Xiao Yunfei's room.
When Xiao Yunfei saw her come in, he waved at her and said.
"You're back just in time. Come sit on it and try it out. Let's see how this stool I made works."
She looked closely and found that Xiao Yunfei had already made a stool.
The stool looks good, but the surface is not very smooth.
I have to say that Xiao Yunfei works really fast. It only took him a short time to successfully complete it.
Su Miaomiao said in surprise.
"Wow, you made it so quickly, let me try it."
She said as she sat on it.
She felt it, then gave Xiao Yunfei a thumbs up with an exaggerated expression.
"This stool is great. It's the perfect height and size. It's so comfortable to sit on. How are you so good at it? How did you make it?"
It was the first time that Xiao Yunfei was praised by a woman like this, and his face flushed instantly.
He scratched his head and said modestly.
"Actually, making a stool is very simple. I'm not that good at it."
"No, you're just amazing. You're too modest. I can't do it."
Not only could she not do it.
She had never even considered making her own stool.
