An old man grabbed the ginseng on the table and said, "What a waste! You're going to make chicken soup with authentic Changbai Mountain ginseng?"
"Doctor Cao?" Zhou's mother was surprised.
"It's me. Today is Saturday. I finally caught someone, right?"
Seeing the old man coming again, Zhou Yu said, "My sister is definitely not at home. Didn't she just come back from outside?"
Father Zhou also nodded, indicating that his eldest daughter was right, "I just came into the house and had dinner."
Doctor Cao looked at Zhou Xiang and asked, "Did the girl run off to Changbai Mountain?"
Zhou Xiang nodded.
"Can you give me this ginseng?"
"cannot!"
"I'll give you double the money."
"Calculate the round-trip fare, accommodation, and food expenses. This is all I brought. It's a gift for my family!"
Doctor Cao felt embarrassed. "My son is much better now and can use some supplements. This is just right for me. I will, I will..."
Zhou Xiang couldn't bear to see the old man's expression, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, put down five, and I'll give you the remaining five, okay? If it weren't for your fatherly kindness, I would never have given away the gift I brought back with so much effort."
"Okay, okay! Thank you! You saved my son, and that's also how you saved me!"
"Oh! Do you still want ginseng? Don't say such things. I depend on my mood."
"Think about it!" Zhou's mother shouted at her. Everyone in the town knew about Doctor Cao's son's illness and felt sorry for him. Now he could be saved, which was a good thing!
"It's okay, it's okay. I was just being too demanding. Xiao Jiang, please don't talk about the child."
"Good! Doctor Cao, congratulations! When your son gets better, we'll go see him again. We won't disturb him from recuperating now."
"Okay, okay! Thank you! Thank you!"
There was a glint in Doctor Cao's eyes. Zhou wondered why he came here for something else, as his only dealings with him were regarding the medicinal herbs that time.
"Let's talk outside!" Zhou wanted to get up and go out.
Doctor Cao took out a handkerchief, carefully wrapped the ginseng, and followed him out.
Zhou Xiang was waiting for him in the pavilion outside.
"Speak!"
"My son is well now, but the herbs I bought that time are almost gone. I came to you in a hurry because I still want them. If you can dig some more, I'll pay you."
"Don't talk about giving money. When I hear that, it always feels like it's unjust to take your money."
"Then you'll give it to me for free?"
Ugh! Zhou Xiang choked.
Doctor Cao said seriously, "I'll give it to you according to the market price, and I'll also give you the ginseng according to the market price. Could you please go back to the place where you dug herbs last time and dig some more?"
"I have conditions."
"you say."
"You are not allowed to tell anyone about the medicinal herbs. I don't want to attract attention."
"Haven't you done enough eye-catching things?"
"Do you agree or not?"
Doctor Cao saw that she was unhappy and nodded quickly, "I agree. Only my son and I know about the medicinal materials. I won't tell anyone else!"
"I'm worried that there are other people with the same condition as your son, so you come to me. Where do I get so much?"
"Okay! I understand. When are you going to dig?"
"I'll go tomorrow, okay? I'll dig it up and send it to you."
"Okay, okay! Thank you! Thank you!"
Watching his staggering steps as he left, Zhou Xiang felt very sad. People can neither choose their own birth nor control their own aging. Especially what kind of old age they will face is unpredictable.
When Zhou's mother came out, she saw the sadness on her little girl's face.
I walked over to her and patted her shoulder. "You've been working hard to change. You definitely won't go down that path again. Don't keep thinking about it."
Zhou Xiang looked up and smiled at his mother, "Okay!"
When the mother and daughter entered the house, Zhou Niao was fighting with her elder sister for ginseng. "You have one. Mom and Dad used two to make wine for Dad. I have one, and my sister has one."
"And Zhu Hang!"
"Isn't it in your hand?"
"This is mine. Zhu Hang should have one too."
"Second sister, you are so boring. Why are you arguing with eldest brother? Even if you give it to me, can't we keep it at home and eat it together?"
"It's different. This is the first time your brother-in-law has received a gift from you."
"Okay! You're right. Big brother, you're the boss, give her some space. One is enough for the two of us."
"Okay! After all, she is smaller than me. Give it to her! Sister, this one is all yours."
"Okay! Let's put it at home and make chicken soup together."
"Okay! Big sister, I'll give it all to you!"
Zhou Yu looked at the ginseng thrown back in front of him and wondered what he was fighting for.
Zhu Hang patted her shoulder and said, like a child, what you fight for is good, and if you stop fighting, it doesn't matter.
Father Zhou also pushed his two penises in front of her and said, "Get some wine tomorrow and soak them."
Yes, all five are in front of me.
Zhou's father asked Doctor Cao why he came.
"I dug up some medicinal herbs that looked like sweet potatoes and ginger, so I showed them to him. He said they were good things and kept them for his son. When they weren't enough, he asked me to dig for him again. If it weren't for his fatherly love, I wouldn't have made this trip for him!"
Mother Zhou sighed and said, "Doctor Cao is a pitiful man. His wife and children died during the war, and he picked up this son. I heard that the child's physique was weakened because he was left to freeze on the ground overnight. Doctor Cao spent a lot of energy and used fine herbs to nurse him back to health."
Zhou Xiang blinked. It seemed like a familiar recipe. Where had he heard of it before?
"How old is Doctor Cao's son?"
"Over thirty."
