After placing the bamboo basket in the grass, Shen Jianmin carried the unconscious old man on his back and ran straight to the clinic, with Shen Qingmiao following behind him.
Not daring to delay any further, Shen Jianmin rushed straight to the clinic. Soon, the two of them arrived.
"Doctor, help me, come and take a look."
There was only a barefoot doctor in the clinic. He hurried out after hearing the noise, and instructed Shen Jianmin to put the unconscious old man on the bed, and then began to examine him.
"How is the doctor? Is this old man okay?" Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin asked worriedly.
The doctor didn't answer them and continued to examine him. After a while, he said, "It's okay. He fainted from hunger."
"That's good, that's good." The brother and sister both patted their chests with relieved expressions on their faces.
I'm glad you're okay.
"If you have nothing else to do, old man, just stay in the clinic first. Just tell the doctor how much he needs."
Shen Jianmin looked at Shen Qingmiao in surprise, as if to say, "You have a secret fund."
The brother and sister also recognized that the unconscious old man was one of the old men living in the cowshed. Shen Qingmiao thought that the old man probably had no money to pay for the medical expenses, so she simply paid for him.
Others may not know, but she, having traveled from the future, doesn't know either. These old men are all treasures, and their future use will not be in this small river village.
There was no way she could help them more, but this little thing was okay.
After paying, the brother and sister left the clinic, leaving their dates in the grass by the roadside, wondering if anyone would pick them up.
The brother and sister hurried back and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the bamboo basket.
Fortunately, the afternoon’s effort was not wasted.
He picked up the bamboo basket and continued walking home.
As the sky gradually darkened, smoke rose from every household, and as I walked along the street I could even smell the aroma of food coming from some houses.
At the Shen family, Mother Shen looked at the sky outside and saw that it was already dark. Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin had not returned yet, and she was worried to death.
Mother Shen kept muttering, "Why haven't Qingmiao and Jianmin come back yet? Should I go look for them? I shouldn't have let them go to the mountains."
Father Shen sat there smoking a cigarette, and after a moment of silence he stood up and said, “I’ll go find it.”
"Hey, wait. Where are you going to find it?" Mother Shen pulled Father Shen and asked.
"Let's go to the other side of the mountain and take a look."
"Then be careful on the road."
Mother Shen let go of Father Shen and let him leave.
As soon as Father Shen walked to the door, he heard a voice coming from outside, “Dad, Mom, we’re back!”
The sound arrives before the person arrives.
Mother Shen looked at Father Shen, "Is it Qingmiao and Jianmin who are back? I seem to hear their voices."
"It's them."
"Let's go out and take a look." As she said that, Mother Shen hurried out of the yard to see if Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin had returned.
Father and Mother Shen stood outside the yard, stretching their necks to look at the way home, their eyes full of anticipation.
Before they had to wait for a few seconds, Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin appeared in front of them.
"It's Qingmiao and Jianmin." As he said this, he walked towards Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin.
After coming to them, Shen's mother pretended to be angry and said, "Where have you two been? Why are you home so late?"
Father Shen also said: "Can you two stop worrying about it? Look how worried your mother is. If you two don't come back, I'm going to look for you two."
In response to Shen's mother's questioning, Shen Qingmiao smiled and said, "Mom, don't be angry first. I will tell you a good news when I go back."
What’s the good news?
With doubts in mind, Shen's mother followed them back to the Shen family.
After closing the courtyard door, Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin put down the bamboo basket. The other members of the Shen family gathered around worriedly.
Shen Jianjun, who was always serious and solemn, asked with a stern face, "Next time you two go out, be careful about the time and go home when it's time. Don't stay out too late."
"Yes, I understand. We promise to be home on time from now on."*2
After saying this, Shen Qingmiao removed the dead leaves from the bamboo basket, revealing the dates underneath. He excitedly said, "Look, my third brother and I were lucky today. We found a wild date tree with ripe dates. My third brother and I brought them back, and we can dry them out to make candied dates on a sunny day."
Seeing the two bamboo baskets full of dates, the Shen family's eyes flashed with surprise. Li Zhaodi even picked up one and put it in her mouth. Xiaojie naturally couldn't help himself either.
"Mom and Dad, big brother and second brother, you can try it too. These dates are so sweet." Shen Qingmiao grabbed a handful of dates and handed them to them.
Everyone picked up one and tasted it. It was quite sweet.
"Wait, there's a surprise!"
There are more surprises. The Shen family members are staring at Shen Qingmiao, wanting to see what other surprises she can come up with.
