Chapter 160 I'm Looking for Anan
On the way home, Xiao Yuanzi chattered and recited to his elder brother all the words he had learned that day.
He was quite excited at first, but when he got to the doorstep, he suddenly thought of his grandma and fell silent.
The two brothers stopped at the door, and Lian Yue did not open it.
"Little Yuanzi, did you hear me talking to grandma about seeing a doctor?"
The young man said nothing.
If you keep silent, it's true.
Lian Yue rubbed his little brother's head, squatted down and said seriously: "Don't worry about this. I took grandma to see several doctors in the city today. The doctors all said that grandma only has a minor illness. She will be fine after taking medicine for a few days."
"Really?"
"Really! That's what the doctors I saw today all said. I won't lie to you, brother."
What Lian Yue said was indeed the truth. He saw several doctors today and they all said that grandma's illness could be cured by drinking some herbal medicine. He even bought seven days' worth of medicine at a high price.
Although these doctors said exactly the same thing, he still couldn't be completely reassured in his heart, because he had never forgotten what Doctor Yin said that day.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.
Let's give grandma the medicine for a few days and see if she gets better. If not, then he'll go see Doctor Yin.
Of course Lian Yue would not explain all these twists and turns to his brother in detail. He just made a few promises to make the little guy happy again.
"Grandma! I'm back!"
Seeing her grandson return home happily, the old lady felt very happy and her pain was alleviated.
"Grandma, I learned a few more sentences today. I'll recite them to you!"
"Okay, okay, recite it to grandma and I'll make you something delicious."
Soon, the sound of childish recitation could be heard in the yard.
Lian Yue saw that the old and the child were very happy, so he turned around and went about his own business.
At this time, many children in the village were reciting the text. Most people could not understand it, but it did not prevent them from being proud and happy for their children.
I heard that the school selects the five best students every month and they receive rewards prepared by the teacher himself. It’s exciting just to think about it.
I don't know what the reward will be...
——————————
Yin Huaishan had actually prepared it a long time ago, but before the end of the month, the reward was temporarily stored in the old house.
"Uncle, how many days will it take for your house to be built?"
"It will be done soon. I heard from the villagers who are building the houses that they will be finished once the last batch of mud bricks are dry."
The village had just experienced a typhoon a while ago, and all the mud blocks stored in the houses were used up. To build a house, we had to make the mud blocks ourselves, which took a long time.
Yin Huaishan had a lot to say about the house, especially the yard, which was designed by his wife and daughter. He would brag about it every time he talked about the house.
The listeners didn't think there was anything wrong, but Song Wenhui felt her face getting hot and quickly changed the subject.
"Wanwan, you said you would teach me how to make new food today. What did you use to make it?"
"Hmmm... use that squid!"
Jiang Wan pointed to two buckets of squid at the door, which Lian Qiao had just delivered.
He didn't encounter any squid today, so he bought these for himself at the dock.
"Aunt, let's eat first, and then I'll teach you how to make it."
Jiang Wan placed the cleaned coconut snails on the chopping board and began to cut the snail meat into thin slices.
Song Wenhui's heart trembled every time she cut the vegetables. She didn't trust Jiang Wan to cut the vegetables, so she quickly took the job.
Jiang Wan didn't insist. It didn't matter who was cutting it. Just cut the meat into thin slices.
At this time, the porridge was already cooked, and the blue crabs and conchs were also steamed. My aunt was good at making dipping sauces, so Jiang Wan only needed to fry the coconut conch meat and then she could eat.
Tonight's meal seems a little small, but there is no way, because there is so much meat in the coconut snails. If we cut it up and stir-fry it, we can fill two large plates and still have one plate left for cold salad.
I can’t let it sit in this weather, so I might as well eat it all tonight.
Jiang Wan asked Baozhu and Xiaohua to stay at home for dinner, but Xiaohua insisted on going home to eat, so Jiang Wan did not force her to stay.
I don't know why this girl always seems to be cautious when interacting with them, even though she and her mother are quite friendly.
I don't understand.
"Xiao Wan, come here and wash your hands!"
Hearing Baozhu calling her, Jiang Wan answered and ran over. The two of them washed their hands together before sitting down at the table to eat.
Jiang Wan noticed that A Niang seemed a little absent-minded. Could it be that she had encountered a difficult patient?
Before going to bed at night, she saw her mother still in this state and couldn't help but ask a question.
"What are you worried about, mother?"
"I'm not worried about anything. I'm just thinking about that girl Li Anan."
Yin Huaixi really wanted to know where those datura plants grew, and the other herbs that Li Anan brought were also very good. It was conceivable that there were many good herbs in their mountains that no one had picked.
This feeling of having one's appetite hooked is really frustrating. Yin Huaixi looked at the gate several times today, but Li Anan didn't show up until the evening.
"I think I should go up the mountain to pick some herbs tomorrow. It will be easier to meet her there."
"Is the mandragora so attractive? Last time I caught a horseshoe crab for you, you didn't react this much."
Jiang Wan pouted and tried to move, but was immediately grabbed back by her cousin behind her.
Who told her to say she wanted to do a bun? Yin Ning just wanted to practice on her.
Yin Huaixi felt a little guilty after hearing what her daughter said.
It seems that I am indeed more passionate about Mandragora.
You can't blame her for this.
Although Chinese horseshoe crab is precious, some of its medicinal value can only be fully extracted by Western medicine. Since she is not good at this and does not have the conditions, it is natural that the mandrake, which has more uses, wins her heart more.
Deep in the mountains, just thinking about the various medicinal herbs inside made her so excited that she couldn't sleep.
Why didn’t that girl Anan come?
As soon as this thought came to my mind, there was a knock on the door outside.
It wasn't too late now, Yin Huaixi thought it was his elder brother and sister-in-law coming over again, so he went out directly to open the door.
But when she reached the door, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
If it were my eldest brother and his wife, there would definitely be the sound of them talking outside at this time. How could it be so quiet?
"Brother and sister-in-law?"
"I'm looking for Anan..."
There was a man's voice outside the door with an accent even more awkward than Anan's!
They are the Li people living in the mountains.
etc!
He is looking for Anan?
Anan didn’t come home today!
