Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, pulling a prescription from her pocket and handing it to Grandpa Li. "Grandpa Li, this prescription is good for your chronic cold legs. Go to the pharmacy and get two courses of treatment according to the medicine on the prescription. I guarantee that your legs will be pain-free all winter." That morning, when she returned from the hospital after helping Sanni with surgery, Grandpa Li chatted with her and mentioned his chronic cold legs. It reminded her of a prescription she had found in her previous life that was very effective for treating chronic cold legs. On her way out today, it suddenly occurred to her and she wrote it down.
"Thank you, Dr. Su," Mr. Li said, smiling as he took the prescription. He'd been driving his car year-round, exposed to the elements, and his health had long since deteriorated. Especially in the winter, his cold legs would ache and keep him awake all night. If it weren't for the medication Dr. Xu had prescribed, he wouldn't have been able to drive anymore.
After getting in the car, the group chatted and laughed as they headed towards the county.
"Doctor Su, when do you and Brother Zhan plan to get married?" Liu Daya asked. She and Doctor Su were about the same age, having grown up together. She had seen Zhan Yihan when he returned, and he looked even better now than before he went to the army. But for some reason, she felt breathless whenever he was near her. Perhaps it was the aura of a king, as the old folks often called it.
"Yes, Dr. Su, we're still waiting to eat your wedding candy." Wang Xiaofang agreed with a smile. She felt that Dr. Su and Zhan Yihan were a perfect match, a true match made in heaven.
Thinking of Zhan Yihan, Su Jinyue couldn't help but raise a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "We should probably wait a few years." As for marriage, even if it is to be brought up, it should be Yihan who brings it up first.
"Why do you have to wait a few more years? You are not young anymore. Wouldn't it be better to get married and have children earlier? Like me, I married my old man at the age of sixteen." Aunt Wu said with a smile.
"Aunt Wu, times have changed now. Even if you want to get married, you have to reach the legal age." Liu Daya retorted.
"Okay, okay, you all have new ideas. I won't argue with you about my old ideas. I'll just wait to eat Dr. Su's wedding candy." Aunt Wu laughed.
While a few people were chatting, the car arrived at the county. There were many more people on the streets today than usual.
Wang Xiaofang excitedly jumped off the ox cart and looked at the people coming and going on the street, "It's so lively! Doctor Su, let's go to the market." She had to fight with her brothers and sisters for the opportunity to come to the market, and she had to have a good look around today.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue nodded and followed Wang Xiaofang and others towards the market.
Shu'an Street is the longest and busiest street in Yanting County. Even when there's no market going on, many people set up stalls here. With the reform and opening up, people's thinking has gradually changed, and the number of people setting up stalls has increased.
Before entering Shu'an Street, I heard a burst of hawking sounds.
"Come and try some delicious crabapple!"
"Picture books! Picture books! Ten cents a copy, so cheap!"
"Jeans, jeans, don't miss them if you pass by."
“…”
When Liu Daya saw the stall selling jeans, her eyes immediately lit up. She pulled Wang Xiaofang and Su Jinyue and ran towards the jeans stall, "There really are jeans for sale. Let's go over and take a look." She must buy a pair of jeans today.
Aunt Wu curled her lips and walked towards a cloth stall. Nowadays, if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth, you still need cloth coupons to buy it. I don't know how the cloth is sold here.
Su Jinyue was pulled by Liu Daya to a stall selling jeans. There were many people gathered in front of the stall, most of them were young girls.
Liu Daya excitedly squatted down in front of the stall and reached out to flip through the pile of jeans on the stall. After a while, she picked up a pair of dark blue flared jeans and waved them in front of the stall owner. "Boss, how much are these jeans?"
The boss took one look and said, "Eighteen!"
Liu Daya thought about it and bargained, "It's too expensive. Give it to me for ten yuan." She only had twelve yuan on her, which she had saved for a long time.
The boss smiled and shook his head. "Little girl, your bargaining is too high. I bought these jeans from Guangzhou. They are the latest styles. They are not available in Licheng. If you really want them, you can get them for 15 yuan a pair."
Liu Daya bit her lip and looked at the boss with a pleading look in her eyes, "Boss, just sell it to me for ten dollars. I really like this pair of pants." She only had twelve dollars on her, where would she get fifteen dollars from? And if she spent the remaining two dollars, how would she pay for the bus fare and meals?
"Ten yuan is not enough for the fare from Guangzhou to here, little girl. Since you like it so much, I'll give you another yuan, making it fourteen yuan. I won't sell it to you for a penny less." The boss said in a firm tone.
Liu Daya looked at the jeans in her hand, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Twelve dollars!" She was willing to risk it all for the jeans.
"This pair of jeans is nice. Boss, do you have my size?" The boss was about to speak when a fashionable woman pointed at the jeans in Liu Daya's hand and asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The boss nodded with a smile and lowered his head to look through the stall. After a while, he looked up at the woman and pointed at the jeans in Liu Daya's hand. "The jeans in this girl's hand are your size. This is the only pair left."
"Then I'll take them. How much?" the woman decided. She had seen her favorite celebrity wearing these pants on TV, and she'd searched the county and city stores for them, but couldn't find them. Today, a friend dragged her out to the market, and she unexpectedly saw them.
"Fifteen dollars. I have some jeans here. Miss, would you like to take a look? They're the latest from Guangzhou. The celebrities in Hong Kong are wearing them too." The boss said with a smile. He knew the man was wealthy just by looking at his clothes.
"Boss, wait a minute, I want this pair of pants." Liu Daya said anxiously.
"Do you have fifteen dollars?" A long-haired woman next to the fashionable woman looked at Liu Daya with disdain.
"I..." Liu Daya lowered her head in disappointment, looking at the jeans in her hand reluctantly. She really couldn't afford fifteen yuan, but she really liked this pair of jeans.
At this moment, a ten-yuan note appeared in front of her.
Liu Daya looked up in surprise and saw Su Jinyue looking at her with a smile.
"Take it." Su Jinyue said.
Liu Daya hesitated for a long time, then reached out to take the money. "Thank you, Doctor Su! I will return it to you as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. She certainly wouldn't ask Liu Daya to pay back the money. Liu Daya was a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, and doing so would be an insult to her.
