Pei Yao politely thanked him, "Thank you, Dr. Lin. I'll go back and tell my family about this, and then come back to pick up the medicine later."
"Hmm." Doctor Lin was focused on the medicine pot in front of him and answered Pei Yao without looking up. Only after Pei Yao had walked away for a short while did he ask again, "Young lady, where does that young man live?"
Pei Yao immediately understood that Doctor Lin was referring to Shen Yu, and replied, "He is from Liangshui Village in Meiling Town, and his name is Shen Yu."
After Pei Yao finished speaking, she turned around and happened to meet Shen Yu, who was carrying something out. For some reason, Pei Yao felt a little awkward...
After all, she had just revealed Shen Yu's information to Doctor Lin without his consent.
Fortunately, Shen Yu didn't seem to care much, and instead asked, "What did Doctor Lin say?"
"You can go home, just be careful tonight. He'll prescribe some medicine for us later, just take it on time when you get home," Pei Yao explained before going inside.
Pei Yao repeated what she had just said to Shen Yu to everyone. Actually, she didn't really want to stay in the clinic. Although their ward was a private place, it was still three families living together, which was inconvenient in many ways.
The environment at home is definitely much better than this, and we can cook some delicious food for my uncle and his father to nourish them.
Therefore, Pei Yao did not object too much to everyone's desire to go home today.
Qiaohui weakly replied from the side, "It's okay. I know some medical skills. If he has a fever, I can help take care of him."
Pei Yao nodded. Actually, if it was a fever, Pei Yao had some physical methods to lower the fever, so it wasn't a particularly difficult thing to deal with.
After saying that, they helped pack their things. Fortunately, they didn't have much. Yunniang and Pei Yao had brought one or two sets of clothes to change into, but they hadn't used them before, as there was no place to bathe or change clothes in the clinic.
Niu Qingshan didn't sit idle either; he went straight to the place where Zhang San had taken them to rent a carriage and rented one.
By the time he returned with the coachman, Pei Yao and the others had also finished packing.
Pei Erlang's legs made walking very difficult, and he needed Pei Yao and the others to help him walk.
The group boarded the carriage and headed straight home.
When they arrived at Meilin Town, Niu Qingshan got off the bus first. His oxcart was still with his friend, and he had to go and pick it up.
......
Chen Fang didn't go to the dock to set up her stall today because she had too many things to do at home.
She started preparing the goods for the house early this morning. Qiaohui knew that her family was too busy in the morning, so she got up early to come and help.
Even Liu's sisters-in-law came to help. They all knew that the Pei family was short-handed and Chen Fang couldn't manage on her own, so they came to help.
"Luckily we made it in time. Last night I heard some noises outside and I was wondering if your family had come back. I came over this morning to see if we needed any help, and when I arrived I saw the two of you busy in the yard."
Liu's second daughter-in-law, Chunlin, had always been on good terms with Chen Fang. So when she heard the noise last night, she wondered if the Pei family had returned.
However, she was unsure and dared not open the gate to check, since her family consisted of women, and apart from Liu Yu, who was a young man, there were no other men.
The villagers all get up early, so when they go out early in the morning, they will see that the Pei family's courtyard is already busy.
I thought I'd come over this morning to take a look, and when I arrived, I saw Chen Fang and Qiao Hui busy in the yard.
Chen Fang saw the three of them and hurriedly went to greet them.
She didn't argue or try to show off with the three of them. If she and Qiaohui were to do all the work today, they would never know when they would finish. It would be perfect if the three of them could help them.
Chen Fang looked at everyone with emotion, not knowing what to say for a moment, and only said, "Thank you, sisters. I will treat you to tea and snacks when I have time in the future."
Liu's third daughter-in-law, Su Tao, waved her hand with a smile: "Why are you being so polite with us? Your family has helped us so much. If we follow what Madam Chen says, wouldn't we owe you even more favors?"
The Pei family's manual snail-nailing and sea urchin-harvesting activities in the village indirectly helped them, giving them a decent income.
Chen Fang glanced at everyone silently, then stopped being coy and said no more.
Then Aunt Niu Er came over. Her grandson had been delivering goods to the Pei family recently, so she knew that the Pei family was very busy every morning.
So she thought she would come over early today to see if anyone from the Pei family had returned, and to see if she needed any help. Although she looked old, she was still strong after years of doing farm work.
However, no one allowed the elderly Aunt Niu to help with the work, and only let her do some light tasks on the side.
The Pei family courtyard bustled with activity from early morning, filled with the cheerful laughter of a group of women.
Chen Fang delivered the goods to the town today and didn't plan to set up a stall to sell ice jelly anymore, because Qiao Hui still had to go to the county, and she definitely wouldn't be able to manage by herself and Pei Yichen selling ice jelly.
So she simply carried a basket on her back and followed the villagers to the nearby river to pick thunderbolt fruit seeds. Yao'er had mentioned before that the young master Gu had ordered a lot of thunderbolt fruit seeds, so she had to hurry up and pick them these two days.
Once Yao'er returns, we won't have to worry about these things anymore. I just don't know when they'll be back.
Chen Fang looked at the Thunder Fruit in her hand and couldn't help but worry about her husband and second brother's injuries, wondering how they were doing.
When Pei Yao and the others returned, Chen Fang had gone out to pick Thunder Fruit, leaving only Pei Yichen and Pei Xuan at home. When Pei Yichen saw his father, he was stunned for a moment, clearly not quite reacting yet. It was Pei Dalang who called out his name: "Chen'er. Did you miss your father?"
Pei Yichen glanced at his father, then immediately threw himself into Pei Dalang's arms.
Meanwhile, Pei Xuan stared wide-eyed at Pei Erlang, whom Yunniang was supporting, not daring to approach. She just stared at him with her big, round eyes without saying a word, and then silently hid behind Pei Yao.
Pei Erlang pulled his hand away from Yunniang's and opened his arms to his youngest daughter whom he hadn't seen in a long time: "Xuan'er, did you miss your father? Come here and let your father hug you."
Startled by his actions, Pei Xuan hid behind Pei Yao and then burst into tears.
Upon hearing her youngest daughter's cries, Yunniang immediately went to hug her. The little girl hadn't seen her father for several months and was still having trouble accepting it.
That's why he cried, but thankfully he soon reached out his little hands, wanting his dad to hold him.
Pei Dalang searched the yard but couldn't find the figure he longed for day and night. He looked at his son beside him and asked, "Where's your mother?"
Pei Yichen, though young, looked at his father with surprising wisdom and asked, "Father, do you miss Mother?"
