030 System: I am not an alarm clock
Gao Qingmiao didn't really leave.
He was not a fool and could feel that the elder sister's mood was obviously not right.
Fearing that something unexpected might happen, I put my ear to the door and eavesdropped.
Strangely, there was no movement in the eldest sister's room.
After a while, the door suddenly opened.
Gao Qingmiao was startled, then smiled awkwardly: "Sister, hey~"
Gao Qinghe knew he was eavesdropping, and was not surprised at all to see the boy when he opened the door.
Calmly handed him a piece of paper and said, "Go to the village doctor and buy these things according to the quantity written on it."
"Ah?" Gao Qingmiao took the note in confusion, thinking that his elder sister's mood changed too quickly.
The last Miao still looked like he wanted to eat someone.
The next second everything was fine.
But as his sister's most loyal servant, Gao Qingmiao was very self-aware and immediately ran out with the note.
I was halfway through running when I remembered to take a look at what was written on the paper.
These are the names of several common Chinese herbal medicines, as well as the weight in grams to be purchased.
"What is that?" Gao Qingmiao muttered.
Never mind, just do whatever the elder sister asks me to do.
Gao Qingmiao was very efficient and came back with a paper bag of Chinese herbal medicine in less than 20 minutes.
Old Mrs. Tian and Huang Ying were both out, leaving only the brother and sister at home.
Gao Qinghe instructed his younger brother to take out the stone mortar used to pound sesame seeds at home, crush all the medicinal herbs he had bought and mix them together, add water to make them into a paste, and then take them out and put them in a clean bowl.
There was only two spoonfuls of the medicinal paste, but the whole room was filled with the unique bitter smell of Chinese herbal medicine.
Gao Qingmiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, watched Gao Qinghe take out the mirror, and asked doubtfully:
"Sister, you're not going to put this on your face, are you?"
Gao Qinghe said "hmm", but still cautiously applied some medicinal mud on the back of his brother's hand to test it.
Gao Qingmiao: “…”
Ten minutes later, Gao Qingmiao didn't feel anything unusual.
Gao Qinghe then held the mirror in one hand and smeared the medicinal mud on her red face with the other.
After wiping it, he told Gao Qingmiao to clean up all these things and go back to the house to lie down.
Throughout the entire process, the system was well-behaved, sensible, and didn't dare to make a sound.
It was not until an hour later that Gao Qinghe, who was already asleep, was woken up by the alarm clock to wash his face.
After applying the mud for an hour, it was already half dry.
Gao Qinghe wiped it clean bit by bit with a towel, revealing the skin on his face.
Gao Qingmiao, who was standing nearby, suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Amazing!"
There is no red mark left, just like a peeled egg, white and tender.
Afraid that Gao Qinghe wouldn't believe him, Gao Qingmiao quickly held the mirror in front of her.
"Look, sister, who can tell that you were pinched hard just now?"
The woman in the mirror had rosy, fair cheeks, and a lustrous glow.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Gao Qinghe even feels that the side of her face where the medicinal mud was applied is more delicate.
She looked around with satisfaction, hummed in her heart, and said:
"Little system, couldn't you have said earlier that you had this ability? It's quite useful."
The system is weeping without tears: weak, pitiful, and helpless...
When the family sits together for dinner.
Gao Qinghe's face was no different from usual.
Except Gao Qingmiao, no one in the family knew that she had just had a fight with Huang Yanqiu.
After dinner, Gao Qingmiao washed the dishes.
Huang Ying waved to the brother and sister to come over.
Gao Qinghe and her brother looked at each other, guessing what was going to happen next, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Huang Ying took out a handkerchief bag from the inner pocket of her clothes and opened it layer by layer. There was a layer of newspaper and a layer of plastic inside.
Finally, there are neatly rolled up rolls of money.
The money was in both small and large amounts. Huang Ying counted it in front of him and it was exactly five hundred yuan.
"Mom?" Gao Qinghe was a little surprised.
She expected her parents to give her some financial support, but she didn't expect it to be so much.
Huang Ying shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to say anything extra, and just handed the money over.
The rough but warm and generous palm tightly grasped his daughter's hand. "It doesn't matter if we lose money. At worst, your father and I can save more later."
"Go ahead and try it out." Gao Chongyi said with a smile behind him.
Gao Qingmiao's eyes instantly turned red. He took a deep breath and promised seriously:
"Dad, Mom, when you're old, my sister and I will definitely take care of you until the end of your life!"
Gao Chongyi and Huang Ying's smiles froze on their faces in an instant.
That's true, but it always sounds weird. What's going on?
Gao Qinghe suppressed his laughter.
I've lived two lifetimes, and I'm touched, but not to the point of crying.
"Mom, Dad, Grandma, don't worry, we will be back in two or three days."
Gao Chongyi began to worry because the siblings had never left the county since they were young.
He wanted to take a day off tomorrow and send the two of them to the car.
Gao Qinghe shook his head. "No need. If we encounter something we don't know, we will ask others."
"Yes." Gao Qingmiao also said: "Mom and Dad, we have mouths."
"Okay." The couple didn't say anything more.
Huang Ying was concerned about the brother and sister's luggage.
Gao Qinghe planned to put on the clothes he was wearing and prepare a pot of hot water.
"I'll be staying in the provincial capital for two nights at most. When I return, I'll have a lot of luggage, so I'll keep it simple."
Gao Qingmiao nodded and agreed to listen to her elder sister.
Seeing that their daughter was so resourceful, Gao Chongyi and his wife felt relieved.
"Then go wash up and go to bed early. I'll get up early tomorrow and make some extra food for you to eat on the road."
Old Mrs. Tian smiled and patted her granddaughter and grandson's arms, letting them rest.
There is no direct train from Qing County to the provincial capital.
There is only a direct bus, and the journey takes a full eight hours.
It will be three years before Qing County will be connected to the railway, and the railway station has not yet been built.
If you take the train, you have to take a one-hour drive from Qing County to Lin County Railway Station, and then take a three-hour train to the provincial capital.
Gao Qinghe prefers the latter.
Although changing buses is troublesome, taking long-distance buses at this time is almost like suffering.
But if she wants to take the train, she has to see if she can buy a ticket tomorrow.
There is a train ticket purchasing point in Qing County. If you don’t have a ticket, you can take the bus.
Before going to bed, Gao Qinghe counted the money in his hand again.
The red envelope of 400 yuan plus the 500 yuan given by my parents makes a total of 900 yuan.
Apart from that, the private money she and Gao Qingmiao had in total was less than five yuan.
After deducting the cost of travel tickets and accommodation, there will still be 800 yuan left to purchase goods.
The security at the station is very poor these days. It would be troublesome if the 800 yuan "huge sum" was stolen.
Gao Qinghe asked her grandmother to sew the 800 yuan purchase money onto her inner garment.
The remaining one hundred yuan in change was divided into two parts. Gao Qingmiao kept fifty yuan and used the rest to buy tickets and accommodation.
If it were yesterday, Gao Qinghe would probably have to worry even more.
But after sorting out the small system this afternoon, she felt much more at ease.
"If you see any suspicious person approaching, alert me immediately." Gao Qinghe ordered.
System: [...Oh.]
Gao Qinghe: [Wake me up at five in the morning.]
System: [Got it.]
Muttering to himself: I told you I’m not an alarm clock!
