"Grandpa Zhao!" Su Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard his words, and she stepped forward and called out.
"Miao girl? Is it really you?" Old man Zhao was delighted.
"Of course it's me."
"Why did you come here so suddenly? The processing should take until the afternoon to arrive at the village." Old man Zhao immediately put down the work in his hands.
"Things were done quickly. I arrived at the village last night." Su Miaomiao briefly explained what happened along the way.
Naturally, she concealed the fact that she was going to deliver a letter to Lu Xiuyuan.
"So that's how it is. You're not a playful girl." Old man Zhao smiled after hearing this.
He originally thought that a little girl like Su Miaomiao who came from Beijing would definitely stay until the last moment before coming back.
Unexpectedly, she came a day earlier.
"What's fun outside?" Su Miaomiao said as she took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it to Old Man Zhao, "Grandpa Zhao, this is the money I earned from selling medicinal herbs this time."
When Old Man Zhao saw the 5 yuan, his cloudy eyes became bright.
"Sold so much?" He originally thought that those herbs were worth only two dollars at most.
"The price here is higher than in the county. That's why I have to go to here." After Su Miaomiao finished speaking, she handed the bag of medicine to Old Man Zhao.
"And these are some medicines I brought from home. They are just for routine use, but I think they are enough for the village."
Before Old Man Zhao could recover from the 5 yuan loss, he was hit hard again.
"You got so many medicines? How much did you sell those herbs for?" Old man Zhao's fingertips were trembling.
"I just exchanged it for these medicines and that 5 dollars." Su Miaomiao said slowly.
Anyway, these medicines were obtained for free by her selling prescriptions, so just let the old man be happy.
"Is it possible to exchange so much? Are the herbs so scarce here?" Old man Zhao was doubting whether he was dreaming.
"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I changed so many. Maybe the herbs we gave are just what the pharmacy needs." Su Miaomiao lied.
"You are indeed the lucky star of our village. If this business is so profitable, it must be developed. I will take you to see the village chief right now, and we will have a good talk with him." Old man Zhao was smart and he immediately grasped the businessman in the middle.
He put away the 5 yuan, picked up the bag of medicine in one hand, held Su Miaomiao in the other, and hurried to the village chief's house.
"Slow down." Su Miaomiao did not refuse, but only reminded Old Man Zhao to slow down and not fall.
The two of them hurried all the way to the village chief's house.
Old man Zhao even forgot to knock on the door and just pushed it open and walked in.
"Hongjie, Hongjie, come out quickly, I have something important to tell you!" Old man Zhao shouted from the house with full energy.
There was no movement in the room.
"The village chief doesn't seem to be home." Su Miaomiao said.
"Impossible, he has been staying here for the past two days." Old man Zhao thought about it and saw nothing to avoid, so he went straight to the inner room.
When I pushed open the door to the inner room, as expected, I saw Wang Hongjie sitting on his own earthen kang, smoking a pipe and staring at the small notebook in front of him with a sad face.
"Wang Hongjie, I knew you were a bad boy. Didn't you hear me calling you from outside just now?" When old man Zhao saw Wang Hongjie, his brows immediately frowned.
Although Wang Hongjie is the village chief, Old Man Zhao is a retired soldier and now manages the pharmacy. He is still very famous in the village.
Wang Hongjie is always respectful to him.
"Uncle Zhao, why are you here? I was thinking about something just now and didn't hear you." Wang Hongjie came to his senses at this moment and immediately put down the pipe in his hand.
