Chapter 44
The two of them were chatting enthusiastically in the west room of the Wang family's house.
Bai Xiuxiu looked at Wang Qinghe expectantly: "How was it? Did you run into Fourth Uncle Wu today?"
As she spoke, she handed Wang Qinghe the two meat buns he had bought. "The buns are a little cold, but the weather isn't too cold yet, so they're fine to eat. Eat them quickly!"
Wang Qinghe took the buns given by his wife with a red face, feeling very happy.
But he couldn't help but worry. Ever since his wife fainted on the ground last time, she has been much nicer to him.
Is there really something wrong with her body?
"I ran into Uncle Wu today, and he said he would come and ask us tomorrow.
Give us news in three days at the latest, and we will meet in the mountains by then, and I will find a way to bring it back." Wang Qinghe met his wife's expectant eyes, put his worries aside, and answered her what she wanted to know first.
Then he continued to talk about seeing a doctor: "Xiu Xiu, let's go to the hospital tomorrow?"
Bai Xiuxiu: ...
What's wrong with this man?
Are you hoping she'll get sick every day?
Seeing the silly look on his handsome face, Bai Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at him: "What? Are you hoping that I'll get sick?"
"No, how could I?" Wang Qinghe quickly shook his head to deny it, fearing that she had misunderstood him. He was so anxious that he could hardly speak: "I, I just think you have been too nice to me recently. Xiuxiu, is there really something wrong with you?
Don't worry, no matter what disease you have, I will not ignore you.
As long as I have breath left, I will cure you and will not let you die."
As Wang Qinghe spoke, his eyes turned red.
This person has beautiful eyes and clear gaze.
With her red eyes, she looked a bit like the pitiful person in the novel.
Bai Xiuxiu listened to this man's touching words, and her expression became more and more helpless: "You are about to make me cry. What you said is very good, but I am not sick."
"Really?" Wang Qinghe was still very uneasy.
Bai Xiu Xiu didn't understand. She was just being nice to him, so why did he act like this?
She hugged him and kissed him a few times: "Really!"
"Then why are you suddenly so nice to me... to me? In the past, you ate the buns with the two children, the snacks were yours, and the candy belonged to Mingming and Yueyue. The brown sugar is yours..." Wang Qinghe began to list all the things Bai Xiuxiu had done in the past.
Bai Xiuxiu felt a little guilty after hearing this. Was she like this to him before? She coughed a few times awkwardly: "I just think that you are very important to us. If something happens to you, who will take care of me and the two children? We have to be careful and not let you go hungry."
Wang Qinghe: …
Is that so?
He looked confused.
Bai Xiuxiu said with a fierce look on her face: "Yes, that's right. If you don't like me being nice to you, then I won't be nice to you tomorrow."
You can't tell him that she was moved by the fact that he would avenge her in the next few decades, right?
"No! I like it."
Wang Qinghe blushed and felt relieved that she was fine.
As long as she was okay, he was happy no matter why she was nice to him.
Xiuxiu cares so much about herself. If she doesn't like a man, how could she marry him and have children with him?
He's just quiet, not really stupid.
Thinking of this, Wang Qinghe became excited and came over to kiss her.
Bai Xiuxiu blocked his mouth and said, "Seriously, you should sell our herbs quietly tomorrow. Astragalus is one yuan per pound. If you go to Kangfu Pharmacy, you won't get a ticket. Go to other stores and see if they give a ticket. As for ginseng, I think Kangfu Pharmacy's ten-year-old ginseng will cost you one hundred yuan.
If you go to other places, you will have to pay 100 yuan, and then ask for more tickets.
There are too few honeysuckle flowers, so let’s not move them for now.”
Bai Xiu Xiu discussed serious matters with him in a low voice.
She pushed him away, opening the space for the bracelet.
What appeared in front of her was still the water curtain and the medicine box.
On the water curtain, large gold-plated characters read: The Astragalus is ripe, please harvest it in time.
Bai Xiuxiu clicked on the harvest button, and immediately a pile of fresh astragalus appeared on the ground. These were the seeds she had collected before.
There were far more of them than they had found in the mountains.
New words have appeared on the water curtain: Harvest successful, the space has intercepted 1% of the spiritual energy for upgrading, and another 20,000 points of spiritual energy are needed to reach the next level.
Upgrade?
Bai Xiu Xiu was a little surprised.
Wang Qinghe was surprised by these herbs that appeared out of nowhere. While he was sorting them out, he looked at his wife. Seeing her staring blankly at something, he was a little worried: "Xiu Xiu? What's wrong? You won't have to pay anything for this thing, right?"
Wang Qinghe frowned.
He doesn't believe in free lunches, and he believes that everything has a price.
"It's okay. It just said it could be upgraded, but I thought it was a dead object." Bai Xiu Xiu did not hide it from her man.
She believed she had been watching him for decades.
"Upgrade?" Wang Qinghe's brows furrowed even more, and that sense of urgency came over him again.
"When you go hunting in the mountains, bring me back any medicinal herbs you come across. I think with more kinds of things, it will be upgraded. The honeysuckle before probably didn't make any progress because the quantity was too small." Bai Xiu Xiu thought this thing was very useful.
Wang Qinghe never refused his wife's request. He nodded and said, "Okay, but Xiuxiu, try to use less of this stuff before we separate."
What he actually meant was that he shouldn't use it until he was able to protect her.
But he knew Xiuxiu's temper too well. If he told her, she would definitely refuse.
"Don't worry, I understand. Don't worry about me." Bai Xiu Xiu winked at him.
Evening dinner time.
Bai Xiuxiu and her family of four arrived at the big house.
In the big house, the chicken soup doesn’t taste strong, but it’s fishy after all.
There was no bread in today's meal, and it was replaced with steamed potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Zhao Guifen glanced at her eldest son and daughter-in-law, wishing that the four of them would go hungry and not have to eat! To make up for the little advantage that her eldest son and his family had taken from her.
In the whole family, each person has one sweet potato and two potatoes.
She also served the chicken soup herself, fearing that someone else would have more.
After the meal was distributed, Bai Xiuxiu's eyes fell on Zhou Jiaojiao and she started to attack: "Fifth brother's wife, today our family lost a bag of rags because of you. Now it's time for you to give everyone an explanation, right?"
As soon as Bai Xiuxiu opened her mouth, Zhou Jiaojiao's face turned dark.
When the others heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to Zhou Jiaojiao.
Zhao Cuihua was even more excited: "What rags?"
Her son will be gone next year, and she is in need of cloth to make clothes. Even though it looks ugly when the scraps are stitched together, at least they can be worn!
When she thought of this, Zhao Cuihua's eyes lit up.
Even Chen Fang was very interested in this matter. Although her parents lived in the city, they didn't have many cloth coupons. She wanted to make a small dress!
Zhou Jiaojiao's scalp was tingling with rage, so she almost cried, "Sister-in-law, how could this be my loss?"
"Isn't it?" Bai Xiu Xiu smiled brightly at her: "Didn't you say that? I saw a bag of rags, but because I was in a hurry to get to the county, I hid it first. There are three of us, can't our mother go to the county to join me?
Why do you have to follow?
The things we pick up belong to our family.
Now that the rag is lost, shouldn't you be the one to give everyone the blame? Oh, and you also caused our mom to fall into the dung pit, and the loss of ten dollars.
Fifth brother and sister-in-law, can you give me an explanation first? "
