Chapter 54 Returning Disappointed



Seeing that she accepted it so readily, Hua Zhenghe was momentarily taken aback.

He genuinely wanted to give the money to the girl, but he thought she would refuse a few more times.

But then he thought about it and felt relieved; this girl was always decisive and efficient.

Her behavior is normal; if she were to whine and push things back and forth, he would probably be disappointed.

Little did he know that Liu Shile had no intention of taking his things for free; instead, she had prepared a surprise for him.

The next morning, Liu Shile and her brother left early, carrying large and small bags of things.

Some were prepared for them by Hua Zhenghe, while others were bought by the women themselves.

I didn't realize how much stuff I had when I bought it, but as I was leaving, I was surprised to find that there was so much stuff.

If Liu Shile hadn't been quite strong, Liu Shihua alone wouldn't have been able to take it away.

Liu Shile knew that a gaze had been watching them leave.

She knew that was her master, but she didn't turn around.

"Sister, are we really leaving like this? Aren't we going to say goodbye to Elder Hua?"

Liu Shihua couldn't help but turn around several times, but the courtyard was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

Although he disliked parting, he felt it was inappropriate for him and his sister to leave without saying goodbye after being cared for by Elder Hua for so long.

Liu Shile smiled and said, "Second brother, it's alright. My master doesn't want us to say goodbye to him."

"When we go home later, we'll send him more local produce."

She wouldn't tell her second brother that she had left something good for her master.

She originally intended to give him ginseng and golden-edged lingzhi, but after thinking about it, she decided to keep ginseng and he shou wu instead.

Golden-edged Ganoderma lucidum is very rare; she never even brought it out during the apocalypse.

Having carried so many medical books in this era, she naturally knew that such a thing only existed in legends.

She could produce something like that, but doing so might bring endless trouble.

Although she wasn't afraid of trouble, she didn't like it, especially since she wasn't alone here.

She didn't want to cause trouble for those who were kind to her, so it was better for her to keep a low profile.

"Lele, what you said makes sense. We're not that far from here. It would be good if we could come and visit him more often in the future."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shihua grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

After boarding the ship, Liu Shile glanced back in the direction of Yizhou City.

As she looked away, her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't seem to care and went into the cabin.

The brother and sister encountered no further problems along the way and arrived safely in Chongqing.

Along the way, Liu Shihua also learned that their destination was the city.

He also knew they were going to buy dairy cows, and he was very grateful to Mr. Hua for telling them this.

Their family members actually need to improve their health, and raising dairy cows would save them a lot of trouble.

My third brother can also go up the mountain to herd cattle when he has nothing to do, so he won't add much burden to the family.

At this moment, his mind started to work more efficiently.

He felt that if there was extra milk, he could exchange it for money or grain.

After all, milk is rich in nutrients, and as Mr. Yi Hua said, it is good for the body regardless of age.

The boat swayed gently on the river. Liu Shile looked out the window at the misty river and frowned.

She doesn't like rainy days.

But right now, it's raining heavily outside, and mist is rising from the river.

"Lele, we're about to disembark, and it's getting dark. Why don't we stay the night nearby?"

Liu Shihua knew his younger sister disliked rainy days, and looking at the heavy rain outside, he was also somewhat worried.

They're carrying so many bags and don't have umbrellas. What if their things get wet?

I'm not afraid of anything else, but the books that Mr. Hua gave to my sister must not get wet.

Little did he know that his sister had secretly taken those bulky things to the farm.

So even if you go out and get caught in the rain, it won't really be a problem.

But Liu Shile would never say such a thing.

"Yes, we'll stay nearby for the night. We're not in a hurry."

Liu Shile nodded with a smile, her eyes crinkling as if she wasn't unhappy.

Once the boat came to a steady stop, Liu Shihua helped her younger sister disembark.

Most of the passengers did not have umbrellas, and they all sought shelter from the rain as soon as they got off the ship.

"Lele, you're going to get wet. You stay here and watch over these things. I'll go see if I can buy an umbrella."

Finding shelter from the rain, Liu Shihua put down what she was carrying and rushed into the rain.

He was incredibly fast; the moment the sound ended, he dashed into the rain.

Actually, there are umbrellas on Liu Shile's farm, and she was planning to take them out after going out for a walk.

As it turned out, his second brother rushed out to close the umbrella, not knowing if he could even buy one.

She figured it was impossible; if there were, they'd probably be here selling their umbrellas.

She forgot that there are not many small vendors nowadays, and most businesses have become state-owned.

Moreover, resources are not plentiful these days, and items like umbrellas are probably not very common.

Especially in rural areas, wealthier families would have two or three sets of raincoats and straw hats to keep out the rain.

For families without money, having a straw hat was already a luxury.

Liu Shile thought that if her second brother was lucky, he might find a bamboo hat; if he was unlucky, he probably wouldn't be able to buy anything.

Sure enough, after waiting for about fifteen minutes, Liu Shihua returned dejectedly, soaking wet.

...

"Lele, I'm sorry, your second brother couldn't buy an umbrella, or even a raincoat and straw hat."

His voice was somewhat dejected, and he felt very useless.

His younger sister was very frail and couldn't stand the rain. He had been thinking of buying her an umbrella or anything else that could shield her from the rain.

result……

There was nothing there.

"Second brother, it's alright. Summer rain comes and goes quickly. I guess it won't be long before it stops."

Liu Shile didn't mind; it was just standing there a little longer, it really didn't matter.

She didn't eat those medicinal meals for nothing, nor did she practice her health regimen for nothing.

After the two got together, her physical condition recovered quickly, and she was fine with a little wind and rain.

However, their luggage cannot get wet in the rain, so she is taking shelter here.

"I hope the rain will stop soon." Liu Shihua looked at the large raindrops in front of her, but she was not sure what to expect.

After all, who can say for sure whether it will rain or not?

Liu Shile thought for a moment, then bent down and took out a piece of oilcloth from her luggage.

"Second brother, wait for me here, I'll be right back." Liu Shile didn't say where she was going, and left with the oilcloth over her head.

Liu Shihua panicked at the sight. He knew without a doubt that his sister's purpose in going out was the same as his.

But he had just searched the entire area and couldn't find any umbrellas or straw hats for sale. His sister...
