Zhou Tingyue's handsome face appeared outside the door.
But there was a hint of anxiety on his face.
When he saw it was Song Shiwei, his heart instantly settled down.
Zhou Cheng was following behind him. The moment Zhou Cheng saw Song Shiwei, he pursed his lips, lowered his head, and let out a long sigh.
Song Shiwei then remembered that she had been busy until this hour today. If Zhou Tingyue didn't see her when he came home, he would definitely be worried!
I quickly apologized, "I'm sorry for making you worry!"
Zhou Tingyue smiled and shook his head.
"Why are you apologizing to me? As long as you are okay, that's all that matters!"
He and Zhou Cheng found this place by asking along the way. They originally went to Xiao Cui's house after entering the village, but Xiao Jun said that his sister and sister Weiwei had gone into the mountains and had not returned yet.
Zhou Tingyue was scared. It was almost dark and he hadn't come back yet. He wondered if he had encountered any danger.
They were hurriedly heading to the back mountain, but luckily they met a villager on the way who said that he seemed to have seen Xiao Cui and Song Shiwei go to Doctor Sun's house. That's how they found this place.
Sun Boan saw the two people talking, but he felt a little anxious.
"Hey, when are we going into the mountains?"
Only then did Zhou Tingyue notice Sun Boan standing beside him.
"Into the mountains?"
Song Shiwei hurriedly explained, "Oh, Tingyue, this is Doctor Sun. Xiao Cui and I dug up a lot of Polygonum multiflorum in the mountains today. Doctor Sun is selling it for four yuan a pound, so we have to take him to the mountains to have a look!"
Zhou Tingyue was a little surprised when he heard this.
"He Shou Wu?"
He had heard of this Chinese medicine, but had never seen it. If he really came across it, he probably wouldn't recognize it. At this time, he didn't think that it was Song Shiwei who recognized it. He just thought that Xiao Cui went into the mountains all year round, and she must have recognized it. The two of them dug up the Polygonum multiflorum and sold it for money.
But he really didn't expect it to be sold at four yuan per pound. How could it be sold so expensively?
What he didn't expect was that when he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw such a large area of Polygonum multiflorum, which looked like sweet potatoes!
This, this must weigh at least 200 to 300 kilograms, right?
Zhou Cheng also opened his eyes wide in surprise!
Sun Boan was almost going crazy with joy!!
It’s true! There really are so many Polygonum multiflorum, and they’re all from 50 or 60 years old!
If he could resell these herbs, he would definitely make a ton of money! !
I guess flipping the house at home is no longer a problem!
He came up with a bag and a weighing rod. If it weren't for Zhou Tingyue's help, he really wouldn't be able to handle so many Polygonum multiflorum by himself.
In this way, it was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that I finally finished weighing so much Polygonum multiflorum.
That's a total of 286 kilograms! At 4 yuan per kilogram, that's about 1,144 yuan!
Sun Bo'an doesn't have that much money.
"Xiao Cui, Comrade Song, can you please let me pay a deposit first and write an IOU? I'll give you the money after I deliver these Polygonum multiflorum to the people over there and get the money!"
Xiao Cui looked at Song Shiwei. Song Shiwei thought for a moment and asked Xiao Cui softly, "Can this Doctor Sun be trusted?"
Xiao Cui nodded.
"I think Madam Sun is very good. She has always helped my grandparents with their medical treatment. Sometimes when we don't have money, she even gives us medical treatment on credit. She also does the same for the villagers!"
"Besides, Doctor Sun's ancestors are from our Jiabei Village. He is considered an old family in the village. All his relatives are here!"
Hearing her say this, Song Shiwei felt relieved.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say!"
Seeing that she agreed, Sun Boan slapped his thigh happily.
"Okay! Let's go down the mountain. I'll give you some when I get home. Then I'll have to arrange for someone to go up the mountain and carry the stuff down. Otherwise, if some blind beasts steal it at night, it will be a disaster!"
Song Shiwei nodded: "Okay!"
So the group went back to Sun Bo'an's house. He only had more than 200 yuan in his hand, so he gave them a deposit of 200 yuan.
"I have to save some for travel expenses!"
Song Shiwei also understood.
Sun Boan wrote an IOU to them, signed his name on it, and put his fingerprints on it.
Only then did they quickly arrange for people to go up the mountain to carry things.
Song Shiwei handed the IOU to Xiao Cui.
"Keep this IOU. When Doctor Sun comes back, take it to him!"
Song Shiwei also gave her the two hundred yuan.
"Use this money to buy food for your grandparents, and also nourish Xiaojun's body!"
Seeing Xiao Cui desperately shaking her head to push the money away, Song Shiwei continued, "This money isn't just for you. You should also think about your grandparents and Xiaojun. Xiaojun is still young. If he doesn't take good care of his health and develops a chronic illness, it will be a lifelong problem! Be obedient and take this money!"
Hearing her words, Xiao Cui's tears fell "click! click!"
"Sister Weiwei, how can I ever repay your kindness? You've been so good to me, I'll feel guilty!"
Song Shiwei touched her hair braids which were a little messy from catching pheasants with a look of heartache.
"I don't need you to repay me, and don't feel guilty. I might need your help in the future! Just take good care of grandpa, grandma, and your brother! Once you get the money, you and Xiaojun can go to school to register and start attending! If you want to study hard, work hard to get into university!"
Xiao Cui shook her head.
"I don't want to go to school. The school is far from the village and requires accommodation. If I go to school, there will be no one to take care of my grandparents! If there is a chance, I will send Xiaojun to school. My younger brother has always envied others who can go to school, but our family doesn't have the money for him to go..."
As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent, even Zhou Chengdu secretly clenched his hands hanging by his sides.
He had never cared about studying and always ranked at the bottom of the class in school. He also got into fights and skipped school a lot, so Zhou Tingyue's parents were often called to school!
Now, he realized that for some children, going to school is a dream come true.
They are eager to read and learn to read, and are eager to change their destiny by getting into college and leaving the mountains!
What about him?
He seems to have never thought about what he will do in the future?
I have never thought about what kind of person I want to be in the future!
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to think carefully about how his life would go in the future!
No one knew that Xiao Cui's words would make the half-grown child think about life.
If Song Shiwei knew this, she would definitely be ecstatic!
But at this moment, she just felt sorry for the brother and sister.
How can a family that can barely afford to eat afford to send their children to school? Even if they did have money, they still have two bedridden elderly people at home.
She thought Xiao Cui should also like reading. When she said that just now, there was a deep reluctance and envy in her eyes.
After thinking for a while, Song Shiwei said, "How about this, Xiao Cui, starting from tomorrow, you come to the beach every afternoon. After you go to the beach, I will teach you how to read. How about that?"
