After washing up, Qibao came to the yard and found that her uncles were already ready, but the other people in the family had not gotten up yet. Wang was so worried that she couldn't sleep, so she got up. After seeing her granddaughter coming out, she was still worried about letting the two old men take Qibao to town. "Bao'er, grandma is really worried about you. Why don't you stay at home with grandma and I'll make you some steamed egg custard, okay?" Wang said with a worried look on her face.
When Qibao heard what his grandmother said, he immediately said, "Grandma, don't worry! I won't run around. I will follow my uncle closely. We will be back soon. Besides, Qibao has never been to the town in his life. I want to go and take a look."
After hearing what Qibao said, Wang had no choice but to give up. She just repeatedly reminded Xu Yifeng to take good care of Qibao and stuffed twenty coins into his pocket, telling him to buy some buns for Qibao if he was hungry. Only after giving these instructions did Wang let them leave. The two adults and the child left the house under the watchful eyes of their grandmother and mother.
He was carried by his uncle all the way to the oxcart that was used to take villagers to the town. The driver was Xu Dafu, a fellow clan member who was of the same generation as Qibao's grandfather.
Qibao lay in his uncle's arms and greeted him sweetly, "Hello, Grandpa Fu." "Hey, it's Qibao. Are you feeling better? My daughter Huaer heard that you were injured and wanted to go to your house to see you, but her grandmother stopped her because she was afraid to disturb your recuperation. Now it seems that you have recovered well," Xu Dafu said with a naive smile.
Qibao replied, "Thank you, Grandpa Fu, for your concern for Qibao. I'm much better now. I miss Sister Huaer too. I'll definitely go play with Sister Huaer when I have time in a couple of days."
Xu Dafu smiled and nodded, then asked the three of them to get on the ox cart. Xu Yifeng handed over five cents, two cents for the adults and one cent for the children.
There were already several villagers sitting on the ox cart. When they saw the three people from the Xu family get on the ox cart, they all greeted each other. Uncle Xu also echoed them one by one. Qibao called everyone he saw, calling them uncle and aunt, and was very sweet-mouthed. They all loved Qibao very much.
Seeing that the oxcart was full, Xu Dafu whipped the ox lightly on the rear end, and the big black ox clattered off towards the town. Qibao was shaken all the way and his rear end was sore. It was only when his uncle couldn't bear it anymore and held Qibao on his lap that he felt better.
Qibao looked at the bumpy dirt road and thought to himself that when he had money, he would definitely repair this road into a stone road so that his butt would suffer less.
After an hour of driving, the oxcart finally arrived at the town. Qibao looked around curiously. The hawkers' cries were endless. On the left side of the town stood a stone tablet with the words "Huamen Town" written on it. After asking the oxcart's return time, Xu Yifeng got off the car, holding Qibao. Xu Yihua tightly hugged the flowered rag wrapped in ginseng in his arms, looking nervous, afraid that someone would snatch it away. Qibao just wanted to laugh at this. "Uncle, you look so nervous, others will think you have a treasure in your arms. Whatever you usually do, it's just like this now." Xu Yihua heard his niece say this, thinking it made sense, and relaxed.
The three of them walked to the door of a pharmacy called Leshan. The second uncle said, "Brother, this is the pharmacy where we received the ginseng that year. I heard that they have branches in every place in our Dragon Soul Country. Their background is quite extraordinary. Moreover, this pharmacy has a good reputation. They often provide free medical treatment to poor people who can't afford it. They are very popular among the people."
After hearing what his second brother said, Xu Yifeng decided to go to this shop. The three of them walked towards the shop door...
