Chapter 50: How can I repay your kindness?
Zhou Tingyue's handsome face appeared outside the door.
But there was a hint of anxiety on his face.
When he saw it was Song Shiwei, his heart instantly settled down.
Zhou Cheng was following behind him. The moment Zhou Cheng saw Song Shiwei, he pursed his lips, lowered his head, and let out a long sigh.
Song Shiwei then remembered that she had been busy until this hour today. If Zhou Tingyue came home and didn't see her, he would definitely be worried!
I quickly apologized: "I'm sorry for making you worry!"
Zhou Tingyue smiled and shook his head.
"Why are you apologizing to me? As long as you are okay, that's all that matters!"
He and Zhou Cheng found this place by asking along the way. They originally went to Xiao Cui's house first after entering the village, but Xiaojun said that his sister and sister Weiwei had gone into the mountains and had not returned yet.
Zhou Tingyue was terrified. It was almost dark and he hadn't come back yet. Maybe he had encountered some danger.
They were hurriedly heading to the back mountain, luckily they met a villager halfway who said that he seemed to have seen Xiao Cui and Song Shiwei go to Doctor Sun's house, and that's how they found this place.
Sun Boan saw the two people talking, but he felt a little anxious.
"Hey, when are we going to go into the mountains?"
Only then did Zhou Tingyue notice Sun Boan standing beside him.
"Into the mountains?"
Song Shiwei hurriedly explained: "By the way, Tingyue, this is Doctor Sun. Xiaocui and I dug up a lot of Polygonum multiflorum in the mountains today. Doctor Sun is going to collect it at four yuan per pound, so we have to take him to the mountains to have a look!"
Zhou Tingyue was a little surprised when he heard this.
“He Shou Wu?”
He had heard of this Chinese medicine, but had never seen it. If he really came across it, he probably wouldn't recognize it. At this time, he didn't think that it was Song Shiwei who recognized it. He just thought that Xiao Cui went into the mountains all year round, so she must have recognized it. The two of them dug up the Polygonum multiflorum and sold it for money.
But he really didn't expect it to be sold at four yuan per pound. How could it be sold so expensively?
What he didn't expect was that when he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw such a large area of Polygonum multiflorum, which looked like sweet potatoes!
This, this must weigh at least two or three hundred kilograms, right? ?
Zhou Cheng also opened his eyes wide in surprise!
Sun Boan was almost going crazy with joy! !
It’s true! There really are so many Polygonum multiflorum, and they are all from the 50s or 60s! !
If he could resell these medicinal herbs, he would definitely make a lot of money! !
I guess it won’t be a problem for me to flip my house!
He came up with bags and a weighing rod. If Zhou Tingyue hadn't helped him with so many Polygonum multiflorum, he really wouldn't have been able to handle it all by himself.
In this way, it was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that I finally finished weighing so much Polygonum multiflorum.
The total weight is two hundred and eighty-six kilograms! Calculated at four yuan per pound, it is about one thousand one hundred and forty-four yuan!
Sun Bo'an doesn't have that much money.
"Xiao Cui, Comrade Song, can you let me pay a deposit first and write an IOU? I'll give you the money after I deliver these Polygonum multiflorum to the people over there!"
Xiao Cui looked at Song Shiwei. Song Shiwei thought for a moment and asked Xiao Cui softly, "Can this Doctor Sun be trusted?"
Xiao Cui nodded.
"I think Madam Sun is very nice. She has been treating my grandparents all the time. Sometimes when we don't have money, she even gives us money on credit. She also treats the villagers!"
"Moreover, Doctor Sun's ancestors were from our Jiabei Village, and he is considered an old household in the village. All his relatives are here!"
Hearing her say this, Song Shiwei felt relieved.
"Okay, then, let's do as you say!"
When Sun Boan saw that she agreed, he slapped his thigh happily.
"Okay! Let's go down the mountain. I'll go home and give you some. Then we have to arrange for someone to go up the mountain and carry the stuff down. Otherwise, if some blind beasts take it away at night, it will be a disaster!"
Song Shiwei nodded: "Okay!"
So the group went back to Sun Bo'an's house. He only had more than 200 yuan in his hand, so he gave them a deposit of 200 yuan.
"I have to save some for travel expenses!"
Song Shiwei also understood.
Sun Boan wrote them an IOU, signed his name and put his fingerprints on it.
Only then did they quickly arrange for people to go up the mountain to carry things.
Song Shiwei handed the IOU to Xiao Cui.
"Please keep this IOU. When Doctor Sun comes back, you can take it to him!"
Song Shiwei also gave her the two hundred yuan.
"Use this money to buy food for your grandparents, and nourish Xiaojun's body!"
Seeing Xiao Cui desperately shaking her head to push the money out, Song Shiwei said again: "This money is not only for you, you should also think about your grandparents and Xiaojun. Xiaojun is still young. If he doesn't take good care of his body, he will be left with a chronic disease, which will be a lifelong problem! Be obedient and take this money!"
Hearing her words, Xiao Cui's tears fell "click! click!"
"Sister Weiwei, how can I repay your kindness? You are so good to me, I will feel guilty!"
Song Shiwei touched her hair braids which were a little messy from catching pheasants with a look of heartache.
"I don't need you to repay me, and don't feel guilty. I may need your help in the future! Just take good care of your grandparents and your brother! When you get the money, you and Xiaojun can go to school to register and start school! If you want to study hard, work hard to get into university!"
Xiao Cui shook her head.
"I don't want to go to school. The school is far from the village and requires accommodation. If I go to school, there will be no one to take care of my grandparents! If there is a chance, I will send Xiaojun to school. My younger brother has always envied others who can go to school, but our family has no money for him to go..."
As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent, even Zhou Chengdu secretly clenched his hands hanging by his sides.
He had never cared about studying and was always among the last few in school. He also got into fights and skipped school a lot, so Zhou Tingyue's parents were often called to the hospital!
Now, he realized that for some children, going to school is a dream come true.
They are eager to read and learn to read, and are eager to change their own destiny by getting into college and leaving the mountains!
What about him?
He seems to have never thought about what he will do in the future?
I have never thought about what kind of person I want to be in the future!
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to think carefully about how his life would go in the future!
No one knew that Xiao Cui's words would make the half-grown child reflect on life.
If Song Shiwei knew this, he would definitely be ecstatic!
But at this moment, she just felt sorry for the brother and sister.
How can a family that can’t even get enough food have the money to send their children to school? Even though I have money, there are still two bedridden elderly people at home.
She thought Xiao Cui should also like reading. When she said that just now, there was a deep reluctance and envy in her eyes.
After thinking for a while, Song Shiwei said, "How about this, Xiao Cui, starting from tomorrow, you come to the beach every afternoon, and after you go fishing, I will teach you how to read, how about that?"
