"Haha, good, good. Si Ni'er is really a talent. You, Si Ni'er's mother, are blessed." Doctor Sun stroked his beard and said with a laugh.
"What do you mean, Doctor Sun?"
"These are all herbs. You can dry them and sell them to the herbal medicine shop. I don't need them here, but this is wild Ganoderma lucidum, which can be sold for some silver. I'd like to ask, isn't it a blessing for your family to have such a little herbalist like you?"
"Doctor Sun, after hearing what you said, it is really a blessing for our family." Xia Manni picked up Si Ni'er and kissed her forehead. She said that Si Ni'er was a little angel.
She thought of something and said, "Doctor Sun, can I discuss something with you? Hehe."
Xia Manni's smile made Doctor Sun feel that it was not a good thing. Although Xia Manni had not been in Shizai Village for a long time, her glorious deeds were enough to prove that she was not someone who would suffer any loss.
"You tell me first, I have no money."
"Haha, Doctor Sun, you look so scared. Our Sun family is not the kind of family that borrows money. What I want to talk about is Si Ni'er's matter."
As she spoke, she observed Doctor Sun's expression and continued, "Doctor Sun, you should also think that our Si Ni'er has some talent in this area. I see that she is interested in herbal medicine. Why not let her come here to help you?"
Doctor Sun shook his head without even thinking. No matter how much he needed help, he would never ask a two-year-old medicine boy for help.
Xia Manni saw that Doctor Sun was refusing, so she said, "Doctor Sun, my Si Ni'er can do anything. It's no problem for her to take care of the herbs for you. Besides, we don't want any wages. Si Ni'er will only come for half a day, so you can just take care of Si Ni's lunch. How about I give you half of these herbs?"
Doctor Sun was so angry at Xia Manni that he laughed. He said, "You don't want my wages, but you want to give me my things? What do you want?"
According to his understanding, everyone in the Xia family had to work, and sometimes they would take the mountain products and medicinal herbs they collected to the market to sell.
If Si Ni'er was placed with him, wouldn't there be one less person to do the work? This made him a little confused about Xia Manni's thoughts.
Xia Manni also understood Doctor Sun's doubts. She explained, "Si Ni'er is very interested in herbs. Since she likes it, as a mother, I must support her. Since Si Ni'er is a girl and young, I am a little worried about her going up the mountain with us every day."
Doctor Sun looked at Xia Manni's calculating expression. For some reason, he didn't feel disgusted. What was disgusting about a mother making plans for her child?
"Oh, if that's the case, your half bag of herbs is really worth a fortune. Okay, starting tomorrow, Si Ni'er will be my medicine boy."
"Come here, Si Ni'er, why don't you kneel down in front of Doctor Sun and thank him for teaching you medical skills." Xia Manni was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and pulled Si Ni'er over. This might be a fate-changing moment for Si Ni'er, and they must seize it.
"Thank you, Grandpa Sun." Si Ni'er knelt down and kowtowed obediently.
"Aren't you supposed to be a medicine boy? How did you become a medical student?" Doctor Sun's beard was twisted with anger. This Xia Manni really is...
"Oh, Doctor Sun, please don't be angry. I'm just a vulgar country woman who knows nothing. I'm just talking nonsense, haha." Xia Manni said it as if it were true. In the end, Doctor Sun just snorted, left half a bag of herbs and sent the guest away.
"Haha, Si Ni'er, are you happy? You'll be able to study medicine with Doctor Sun in the future. When the time comes, just read and learn more. You can read those medical books anytime. If you don't understand something, just ask Doctor Sun directly. Do you understand?"
As soon as the two of them left the hospital, Xia Manni took Si Ni'er aside and talked about what they needed to pay attention to in the future.
"Mom, did Doctor Sun ask me to read his medical books?" Si Nier remembered that this was not what Doctor Sun meant.
"Oh, Si Ni'er, you can't see for yourself. It's okay if you learn more and ask more questions. Doctor Sun may be old, but he's still not confused."
"Ahem, ahem, can you please go a little further away before you talk? I can hear everything. I'm not deaf..."
The sudden voice scared Xia Manier and Sinier.
"Oh my God, hurry up and go, hahaha, otherwise it will be bad if you lose the job that I just found for Ni." After saying that, she pulled Si Ni'er and ran back home.
Doctor Sun, who was in the courtyard, couldn't help but smile when he heard the two people's voices. The Xia family had such a mother, and the children were lucky.
When the two returned to the yard, it was still early, so they began to prepare the various herbs and food that needed to be dried, washing them and then drying them.
Led by the eldest son, the three boys of the Xia family searched the mountain for everything they could find. They did not give up until they had found almost everything, mainly because the weather on the mountain was a bit cold at that time.
The Xia family's life went on as usual, but unexpectedly, Xia's dog Potato did something big.
That evening, after the Xia family of five finished their dinner, they started their meetings and study activities.
The meeting was held as usual with the four children in the rotation order that Xia Manni had previously set. Even though Sinier could not say much, Xia Manni insisted on letting her participate.
Xia Manni personally prepared the learning activities. Whether it was learning to write, read, or even learn to use an abacus to keep accounts, there was always something new to learn every day.
Today's meeting is hosted by Erwa. Erwa's general style of holding meetings can be summed up in one word: fast.
The matter can be explained in just a few sentences. Although it may not be detailed enough, the general direction is not missed.
"Today we collected a total of fifty kilograms of things. We counted them according to the method mother taught us. Twenty kilograms of dried fruits, twenty kilograms of grains, and ten kilograms of herbs. Si Ni'er only has half a day to collect herbs now, so it's already a lot for her to take us with her."
