Chapter 122 Learned
"Sister Su, are you saying there is medicine that can cure the scars on my body?"
Over the years, the whole family has put a lot of thought into the scars on their bodies and even tried many folk remedies, but to no avail.
Even she herself had already given up any hope, but now Sister Su said that she had a secret recipe passed down from her ancestors that could remove scars?
Even though I had only known her for a short time and didn't know much about her, deep down I inexplicably wanted to trust the person in front of me.
Even if I am disappointed again, I would not let this kindness go to waste.
"Yes, I do."
"Sister Su, I believe you. I...I want to try it."
Somewhat surprised that the little girl trusted him so much, Suning smiled and patted her hands: She would definitely not let him down.
…
"One two, one two three!"
A powerful call was heard.
Net after net was dragged ashore, and the fat fish with their tails wagging in the nets made everyone smile.
The happiest one among them was the team leader Qin Fen, who knew the purchase price. After all, the bigger the fish, the greater their profits.
Casting nets, catching and weighing, everything is proceeding quickly and orderly.
Soon the fish and shrimp on the task list had been properly packaged and loaded onto the tractor. Qin Fen watched the whole process and not only asked people to pick up the biggest and best ones, but also gave them enough weight and even a lot more.
Secretary Xiao Su had given their production team such a generous price, so they certainly couldn't let her suffer a loss or be criticized.
That's how people are, isn't it?
"Hey, Xiao Su, you've come just in time. The goods have been loaded. Let's go and check them out with you!"
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
Seeing that the two of them got down to business as soon as they met, Xiaolian silently swallowed the words on her lips, thought for a moment, and followed them.
After the goods were counted, the two of them signed their names on the list one after another.
Qin Fen winked at the man next to him, and the man wiped his sweat off his forehead and smilingly dragged out a bamboo basket full of fish and shrimps and placed it in front of Suning.
"Captain Qin, what about you?"
"Hahaha, Secretary Su, the fish in our Duyan Reservoir are quite different from those in other places. Especially during the autumn harvest season, they are more delicious. You will know when you go back and taste them!"
Compared to Qin Jianjun, Xiao Su is not only open-minded but also kind-hearted. How could Qin Fen, the team leader who has been in the job for so many years, be ignorant of the ways of the world?
This basket of fish and shrimp only weighs about 10 to 20 pounds. Although it is not much, it is a token of their appreciation.
In the past, Qin Jianjun had been talking so hard that his lips were worn out. No matter how people gave him hints, whether overt or covert, he would just pretend not to understand and just looked unhappy.
If it was Xiao Su, he would have done it without anyone telling him to do it. The difference in treatment between the two is too great.
"Secretary Su, trust me, this fish tastes delicious no matter how it is cooked!"
After a little thought, he understood the implicit meaning of his words. Suning was a little amused and helpless. He really didn't lower the price for this "benefit".
However, she couldn't do something rash like refusing to the other person's face, so she just smiled and said thank you, secretly calculated the price of the bamboo basket of fish and shrimp, and then secretly added the money into the payment.
"Thank you, Captain. I'll have to try it when I get back."
"Well, that's right!"
Seeing her accept it, Qin Fen breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, "Look, it's getting late, Secretary Su, do you want to go back with the tractor driver?"
It wouldn't be bad to have a car to ride on, but...
Su Ning turned his gaze to Xiaolian, who had a very low presence, and said, "Captain, Xiaolian..."
"Dad, come here."
Xiaolian, with a smile in her eyes, nodded at her and indicated that she would speak for herself, and pulled the confused Qin Fen to an open space not far away.
Qin Fen looked at the little girl who was holding his arm and obviously had something to say to him. When his eyes touched the scar on her face, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes.
His expression softened again, "What's wrong, little Lian?"
"Dad, I want to go to Sister Su's house and stay there for a few days."
"Yeah, okay... Ang? Slow down. Who are you going with? Where are you going? How many days?"
Qin Fen, who always responded to his little daughter's requests, habitually said "OK" but she reacted before he even said "OK", and he stopped in his tracks and asked quickly.
Ever since the scar on Xiaolian's face scared the little boy next door he cried and had a high fever for two or three days.
Xiaolian, feeling full of guilt, became less and less willing to go out.
This time, the whole family took turns to persuade them to go fishing, and my mother even used all her tricks to coax them out to relax, otherwise they were worried that they would be bored at home one day!
But now, what did he hear just now?
My little girl actually took the initiative to say that she wanted to go out, and how many days would she be gone?
Could it be that the incense stick I managed to get this year, the blessing from my ancestors really came true? !
"I said I wanted to go to Sister Su's house for a few days and use medicine to treat the scars on my body."
"ha?"
There was a big question mark in Qin Fen's eyes. Why did he become more confused the more he listened?
When she talked about their previous conversation, and when she heard Su Ning say that there was a secret medicine passed down from ancestors for scar removal, Qin Fen excitedly turned around and left, leaving his daughter behind.
He came to Su Ning with big strides, his eyes red, and he asked incoherently, "Secretary Su, you said there is a secret medicine passed down from your ancestors that can heal scars. Is that true? Can the scar on Xiaolian be removed? How much does it cost?"
"No, I'm not doubting you, Secretary Su. I'm just asking if I can try the secret medicine first."
"I'm worried about Xiaolian being alone. Can we accompany her? We can bring our own food and take care of ourselves..."
Unlike Xiaolian, who had given up hope of removing the scars on her body after repeated disappointments, he and her mother were unwilling and did not want to miss any chance.
The daughter is still so young, fifteen or sixteen years old is the age of a flower. They are willing to raise her for a lifetime. How can parents not hope that she can have a complete life of her own, have someone to love her and have children, and not end up alone in the future.
Besides, Secretary Su is obviously not the kind of person who talks nonsense. If the secret medicine passed down from his ancestors really has the miraculous effect of removing scars, he would be willing to spend any amount of money on it.
"Captain Qin..."
"Let's not be so polite. Just call me uncle."
"Uncle Qin, I do have a scar removal ointment passed down from my ancestors. If you are worried, you can go with Xiaolian. We can try it on our hands first to see the effect. As for the money for the ointment, we can talk about it after Xiaolian is really cured."
"Hey, okay, Xiao Su, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Qin Fen said this as he couldn't wait to run back.
…
Everyone was queuing up to share the fish by the reservoir. Qin Fen quickly looked around the team and found his wife before he immediately stepped forward and dragged her away without saying a word.
"Hey, it seems like it's my turn now, what are you doing, dad?"
"Afen, Afen, go home quickly and pack your things!"
"No, what are you doing? What are you packing? What are you packing for?"
It took a lot of strength to break free from his big, iron-like hands. Gao Fen glared at her man in annoyance, wondering what was wrong with him again.
"Hey, let's talk while we walk!"
"That fish..."
"What fish? The fish has not seen whether you can run or fly. Let the eldest daughter-in-law go!"
The two men rushed back home as quickly as possible, packed some clothes, took a bag of food, explained everything to their disabled mother, and then hurried back to the tractor.
When they arrived at the place and saw Su Ning still standing there waiting, they both gasped for breath at the same time.
After a simple greeting, the group carefully stuck to the truck bed and headed towards Gushi following the roar of the tractor.
No matter how anxious I was, I had to go with her to the textile factory to hand in the task and settle the payment.
After all the procedures were completed, it was already completely dark.
After bringing Qin Fen's family of three back to the courtyard, Suning asked them to rest while she went to prepare dinner.
Unable to resist Xiaolian and her daughter's enthusiasm to help, dinner was quickly prepared by the three equally skillful women.
After dinner, she took a short break and didn't let them wait too long. She got up and went back to her room to get the 'soap'-like jade cream from the Peach Blossom Courtyard.
"Xiao Lian, come with me first and wash your hands."
"Okay, Sister Su."
