"Just come to work at the store tomorrow. It's 9:30 in the morning. Don't get the time wrong. People will start coming in after 10:30. If you're late, it'll be too late." Qiao Xiaoni took out paper and pen from her pocket. She had been doing the accounts every day recently, so she kept the paper and pen in her pocket. She wrote down the recipes for the medicinal cuisine based on her memory.
As far as she knew, the medicinal herbs weren't too expensive and wouldn't cause her family any financial burden.
Ma Yulan watched from the side. The little girl had beautiful handwriting and quickly filled a large sheet of paper with her writing.
Qiao Xiaoni stopped writing after finishing the last word.
"The dosage is written on it. Do not add too much of the medicinal materials. Please remember that."
The medicine is too strong; the body can't absorb it, and it will have the opposite effect.
Ma Yulan accepted the order with both hands.
"Okay, I've got that in mind."
Qiao Xiaoni stood up and said, "If you experience any discomfort after taking the medicinal diet, don't stay at home. Go to the hospital to get a checkup and confirm your condition."
After all, I'm not exactly a proper doctor, so I don't want to delay the treatment.
If you don't have enough money, just tell me, and I can advance your salary to cover your medical expenses.
As long as the medicinal diet is taken on time, the old lady's condition will definitely improve quickly. She couldn't guarantee it; if something went wrong, she would be in trouble.
At this moment, the little girl was already a living Bodhisattva in Ma Yulan's heart.
"Girl, I've remembered everything you said. I'll definitely work hard at the store to repay you."
However, from the perspective of filial piety, Qiao Xiaoni felt that Ma Yulan was really good. If she and her second brother could get together, it would be a good match. The only problem was that she was afraid it would be difficult to explain to their parents.
It was almost time, so I said goodbye to them again and left. When I got back to the shop, everyone was already heading back.
There was a house being built nearby, and the workers complained about the poor food. The foreman consulted with his superiors and decided not to hire anyone to cook. Instead, he subsidized their meals so that their families could come over for noodles or spicy hot pot at noon.
Customers find it a good deal to get free steamed buns when they eat mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot), and they also enjoy it occasionally to satisfy their cravings. If they have a little extra money, they can also order a plate of blood sausage, which will definitely fill them up.
When Qiao Xiaoshan saw his younger sister return, he rushed over after serving the noodles to the guests.
"So? Did she agree?"
Qiao Xiaoni saw the old man sitting not far away smoking, nodded to her second brother, and didn't say anything more.
While they were talking, the old man went to gather firewood and wasn't in the shop. It's best not to let him know about this.
If the old man gets angry, the whole town might find out about it.
There's always trouble around a widow's door. Who's right and who's wrong? Rumors spread and you never know how far they'll go.
Qiao Xiaoshan understood and breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't exchanged more than ten sentences with Ma Yulan in total. When he first moved in, he had nothing to eat or drink, so he went to borrow some things.
It was only through the children's words that I learned her family was struggling financially, but she always had a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened.
I was inwardly impressed by how strong this woman was. I'd found myself paying more and more attention to her without even realizing it. Now that her job was settled, her family's life should be fine, and I should settle down. Like my sister said, if you're not sure of your own feelings, don't interfere in other people's lives…
