Chapter 581 A thief broke into the house
"Fubao, my daughter Lai Di also wants to learn medicine. I heard that Hongxia has chosen you as her teacher. You should take her in as your daughter. Although she can't read, she is obedient. Can she learn medicine from you? Don't worry, Lai Di is diligent and smart. She will learn it as soon as you teach her. You can even let her never get married for the rest of her life, let alone when she is 18."
"My eldest granddaughter also wants to learn, Fubao, you should accept her as your apprentice. I hesitated before, fearing that she would not learn well, so I delayed telling you now. I have thought it through. If the child wants to learn, let her learn. Can I still hold her back?"
"Fubao, look at me. Although I don't have a daughter, I know a few words. Let me be your apprentice. I want to learn medicine."
"Ms. Liu, why are you learning medicine at your age? You fart when you bend your waist. Be careful not to make Fubao feel bad. Also, how come I didn't know you can read? Don't try to deceive our Fubao."
"Who said I can't read? I know Liu and the character Jiang in Jiangjia Village. How could I not know? You are the one who is slandering others."
"Hahaha, you're going to make me laugh so hard. Knowing two characters is also called knowing characters? Then I also know characters. I know the Chinese character for happiness that is posted on the door when a couple gets married. Then I will also become your disciple, okay?"
"You two old guys should stop interfering and stop hindering my granddaughter from becoming my disciple."
"......"
The voices of the villagers mixed together, chirping, like the sparrows on the treetops in midsummer, very noisy.
Jiang Fubao didn't know who to reply to first.
"Everyone be quiet. I only have one mouth and cannot answer you all at once." Jiang Fubao shouted at the top of his voice.
These people shut up.
"I'm really busy. My eldest sister is getting married at the end of the year, and I have to harvest the herbs from the fields and prepare them. I don't have any free time at all, so I don't plan to accept any apprentices. I'm going to go home."
After saying that, Jiang Fubao pushed through the crowd and ran back home, while Pan Erya closed the door.
The villagers were kept out.
"Oh, I'm really impressed. Why do all these people come to me to become my disciples? I'm almost squeezed into a meat pie." Jiang Fubao sat on a stool in the yard, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and said helplessly.
"If it was an outsider, I would have taken action just now. Miss, next time something like this happens, I will block them and you can just run away, so that we won't both be blocked. Don't worry, I won't hurt them."
Pan Erya said this with concern, walked into the kitchen and poured her a glass of water.
I guess it was cooked this morning and is still warm.
"The villagers have no ill intentions. It's okay. I've already said that I won't accept any disciples in the future. They won't bother me anymore." Jiang Fubao now deeply regrets why he released the news.
When she takes in disciples in the future, she will only choose those who she likes.
Those people outside the door don't want to study medicine. I'm afraid they are attracted by the free food and accommodation in her clinic.
After settling the accounts, he realized that he would not suffer any loss, so he changed his attitude.
"Let's take a break first. We'll go back to town after they leave." Jiang Fubao finished drinking the water, got up and went to the backyard, ready to see if the chickens that Jiang Chengjiang had raised had grown fat. In autumn, drinking a bowl of fragrant mushroom and chicken soup would be so delicious.
A few years ago, before we moved out, the chickens we raised in our backyard were all eaten by them.
Nowadays, several generations have passed.
The squad size has also tripled.
“Gugugugu——”
“Ohhhh—”
Seeing Jiang Fubao coming, the roosters and hens ran away, still shouting at the top of their lungs.
At a glance, in the backyard vegetable garden, besides unripe vegetables, there were actually a few eggs scattered around.
"No wonder they all started chirping when they saw me coming. It turns out they were laying eggs." Jiang Fubao said to himself.
She picked up the bamboo basket in the corner and started playing the egg-hunting game.
A quarter of an hour later, the originally empty bamboo basket was now filled with ten eggs.
Jiang Fubao smiled and opened the shield.
Wanted to see if the hen had scolded her secretly.
However, I heard something unexpected.
[It's ok that someone climbed over the wall to steal the eggs at night, but why is there someone stealing during the day? Who is this woman? I seem to have seen her before, she looks so familiar~]
"Someone stole the eggs?" Jiang Fubao frowned.
Near noon, Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng came back.
Jiang Fubao mentioned it bluntly.
"I saw footprints on the corner of the backyard wall. I'm afraid there was a thief in the house at night. You should be careful when you sleep at night and don't sleep too deeply."
"What? Is this true? I know about it. I will definitely catch the thief during this period of time." Jiang Cheng was stunned when he heard that there was a thief in the house, and then he replied angrily.
"Well, I won't eat here at noon. You guys can take care of it yourselves. Erya, let's go back."
After Jiang Fubao finished speaking, he picked up the bamboo basket and left.
She picked the eggs inside and took them home to have the backyard cook fry them into poached eggs the next morning.
Fresh eggs are best.
The door was open.
The villagers all went home to cook, and Jiang Fubao got on the carriage and left Jiangjia Village.
When she arrived in town, she didn't rush home, but went to the hospital first.
There weren't many people here today, and she went home only after curing the patients that her three apprentices couldn't cure.
He didn't have lunch, so when he got home, it was only afternoon and there was still an hour before dinner, but Jiang Fubao was already starving.
She took the eggs she brought back to the backyard and asked the cook to make her a bowl of pork noodles. The hand-rolled noodles were paired with salty, spicy and slightly sweet pork, and topped with two golden fried eggs.
Jiang Fubao couldn't even wait to go back to the house to eat.
Sitting on the stone table in the backyard, she held the bowl and took a sip of the dark brown noodle soup. She let out a comfortable sigh, then picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and slurped it into her mouth.
"The noodles are kneaded well, great." Jiang Fubao saw the cook leaning against the doorpost and looking at her while kneading the noodles, and simply praised her.
The cook was immediately delighted.
Before he could swallow the noodles, Jiang Fubao took another bite of the meat. It was fatty but not greasy, lean but not dry, and even the meat inside was very flavorful.
Mixed with the fragrant fried egg, swallow it in one gulp.
It flew straight away.
Jiang Fubao ate a big bowl of noodles with soup cleanly.
When she left, her lips were still shiny, as if they were covered with a layer of colorless lip balm.
"Xuehuan, go get my handkerchief from the carriage. I forgot to get it when I got off. I'm going to take a walk in the yard. After you get the handkerchief, get me a bucket of bath water. I walked in the fields today and I still feel smelly."
Jiang Fubao smelled it and felt a little disgusted.
I don’t know if the hem of her skirt touched the medicinal herbs that had been soaked in feces.
Since she was going to take a shower, she had to change both her inner and outer clothes. She simply wiped her mouth with her sleeve, looking so generous that she didn't seem like a rich girl at all.
