Xiao Ling said somewhat unhappily, "They're so irresponsible, leaving the child to me to take care of.!"
Qibao laughed and said, "Yes, yes, Bai Shuang and Bai Xue are really something. They actually let our smart and cute little spirits look after the children. It's really abominable. Next time I will bring them in and let you teach them a lesson!"
Xiao Ling then became happy and said, "Master, last time you said you would plant some medicinal herbs, I have already planted several waves. Do you want to continue planting?"
Qibao said, "I want to grow some medicinal herbs and sell them!"
Xiao Ling said, "Master, you can make them into pills and sell them. They are much more valuable than herbs!"
Qibao said, "But I don't know how to make pills!"
Xiao Ling said, "I can teach you. The herbs grown in the space are all spiritual herbs. If you add some spiritual spring water, the effect will be comparable to no other pills out there!"
Qibao touched his chin and said, "Okay, since I don't have anything to do anyway, I'll just follow you and learn!"
Xiao Ling said: "Then let's start with the simplest healing medicine. We need to use Corydalis, Curcuma, Turmeric, Frankincense, Wulingzhi, Poria, etc.
It is mainly used to treat internal injuries, blood stasis, and pain caused by qi stagnation."
Qibao listened carefully to Xiaoling's story, wrote down the names of the medicines, and then began to practice, using the pressure cooker in the kitchen instead.
With Xiao Ling giving instructions, the water in the pressure cooker evaporated, leaving only a black ointment. The color was not very pretty, but it was not unpleasant to the touch, and there was even a hint of herbal fragrance.
Xiao Ling said, "Just squeeze the ointment into pills and let them dry."
Qibao let the ointment cool down and started to knead it. There were a total of twenty-five pieces in one pot.
Xiao Ling said, "Once the owner is familiar with it, more will come out of the pot!"
Qibao practiced cooking for several pots in the space before coming out, falling on the bed and falling asleep.
The next day, the sky was still drizzling. The old man said worriedly, "I don't know what's happening with the greenhouse. No, I have to go check it out!"
Boss Xu stopped him and said, "Dad, let me go and see. The roads are slippery due to the rain. You should just stay home and watch. I'll go!"
After saying that, Uncle Xu picked up the straw raincoat hanging on the wall, put it on and ran outside.
When Uncle Xu arrived at the greenhouse, he saw a figure wearing a straw raincoat bending over and fiddling with something.
Uncle Xu came closer and asked in surprise, "Chunsheng, why are you here?"
Xu Chunsheng smiled and said, "It rained intermittently all night last night. I was a little worried about this area, so I came to take a look. There was a lot of rainwater accumulated in some low-lying areas. I just cleared them, and everything else is fine!"
Uncle Xu was a little moved and said, "Thank you, Chunsheng. It's raining so hard, and you're still thinking about the greenhouse. Go back quickly. Your clothes are wet. Don't catch a cold! Go back and ask Auntie to make you a bowl of ginger soup. Come to my house for dinner with the village chief in a few days!"
Xu Chunsheng smiled and said, "Okay, my dad said last time that he wanted to have a drink with your old man! Now that things are done here, I'll go back first. You should go back too. It's still very cold outside!"
After Uncle Xu finished talking to Chunsheng, he watched Chunsheng walk away and looked at the greenhouse. There were indeed several places where water had accumulated. There was a newly dug gap next to it, and the rainwater just flowed out from there.
Uncle Xu returned home, took off his raincoat and hung it up. The old man asked, "Why are you back so soon? How's the greenhouse?"
Uncle Xu recounted his encounter with Chunsheng.
The old man smiled and said, "Chunsheng is a good boy. He cares about our family's affairs. He is a kind-hearted boy!"
Wang smiled and replied, "We watched Chunsheng grow up. He's a very kind-hearted person. The village chief's family are all good people, so the children they raise won't be bad either!"
The old man said, "When the wages are paid, give Chunsheng more. Hard work must be rewarded."
Wang agreed.
…………
The rain finally stopped on the third day. The dirt road at the door was covered with mud, but fortunately the sun came out in the morning.
Qibao was too lazy to go out at this time, and she didn't want to step in the mud. She took out some fruit from the space and sat in the yard, eating the fruit while reading a book. Xiaoba was lying at Qibao's feet watching her eat, and Qibao would occasionally feed Xiaoba a grape.
Xiaoliu was also practicing calligraphy seriously with a brush. His handwriting was very good. Although Xiaoliu was a bit playful at ordinary times, he was still very serious in doing things.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zhang ran to open the door. It happened to be the village chief with Chunsheng. Zhang quickly invited them in.
He led the person into the main room, called his father-in-law, and poured two glasses of water and brought them over.
The old man politely greeted the village chief and asked, "Why are you here today? Is there something going on?"
The village chief said, "The villagers came to me, asking if they could go to work now that the rain has stopped. They couldn't afford to not work and just get paid! So they asked Chunsheng to ask, and I came along too!"
This was ordered by the old man. Those who were unable to go to work due to weather conditions will still be paid, which can be considered a kind of welfare for the villagers.
The old man said, "What do I think? You can see the roads in the village. I can't even drag the mud off my shoes after a few steps. It's not convenient to work. There's mud everywhere."
The village chief also knew the situation and was helpless. He sighed. As long as it rained, it would be really troublesome for the villagers to go out.
The old man smiled and said, "But soon our roads will not be like this anymore!"
The village chief asked in confusion, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
The old man said, "After our family's decision, we plan to pay for the road construction for the village. We will also repair the dirt road to the town."
The village chief stood up suddenly, his face a little excited and said, "Brother, please don't frame me, is this true?"
The old man said, "Don't you know what kind of person I am? When have I ever lied to you? Everything I said is true!"
The village chief's hands were shaking slightly as he bowed deeply to the old man.
The old man quickly reached out to stop him and said, "Village Chief, what are you doing?"
The village chief's voice trembled as he said, "I want to thank your family for their generosity on behalf of all the villagers!"
The old man said: "Don't say that, I made this decision for the convenience of my family in the future!"
The village chief said, "With your family's current financial situation, buying a house in town is no problem. Why spend so much money on road construction? Aren't you worried about the villagers?"
The old man said, "I have lived in Xujia Village all my life. Even if I die in the future, I will be buried in Xujia Village. I can do something for the future generations while I am still alive, and then I will have no regrets in my life!"
At this time, Xu Chunsheng knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old man.
The old man didn't react at all. When he finally did, he quickly grabbed Chunsheng and asked, "Chunsheng, what are you doing?"
