The two of them sat in the yard for almost a minute, so Fang Mingxiao went to Qi's house. Jiang Yanqing closed the gate and went back to her room to sleep.
After a good night's sleep, Jiang Yanqing got up early the next morning and made two large bowls of pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles. Each bowl was topped with boiled but still fresh green vegetables, and a fried egg with golden brown on both sides.
Fang Mingxiao seemed to have come on time. Jiang Yanqing had just finished serving two bowls of noodles when he knocked on the gate.
After breakfast, Jiang Yanqing prepared to go to the county town to discuss cooperation with Sister Ahua. When it comes to making money, the sooner the better.
Fang Mingxiao was also going to the county town to buy some medicinal herbs. He didn't know how serious Qi Jiaming's injury was, so he didn't prepare a lot.
Jiang Yanqing put on her own schoolbag and turned to look at Fang Mingxiao's dusty and patched schoolbag, which was an eyesore no matter how she looked at it.
She asked Fang Mingxiao to wait for a while, turned around and went into the bedroom. When she came out, she was holding a brand new army green schoolbag in her hand.
This is a characteristic of this era, so it was not originally in Jiang Yanqing's space. However, Jiang Yanqing has the habit of hoarding things, so he bought several last time and kept them there.
I could just give one to Fang Mingxiao at this moment, so I handed the schoolbag to Fang Mingxiao and said, "Here, this schoolbag is for you."
Fang Mingxiao looked down at his brand new schoolbag. Many of his classmates carried such schoolbags, and they heard that they cost three yuan each. The schoolbag he was carrying now was one of the few things his mother had made for him!
Fang Mingxiao didn't have any special feelings for the schoolbag he was carrying. He was just used to it and was too lazy to change it.
No matter how good the backpacks of other students were, Fang Mingxiao never envied them. He believed that with his own efforts, he would eventually get everything he wanted.
However, Fang Mingxiao naturally reached out to take the backpack in front of him, whispered thank you, took out the things in the original backpack and put them into the new backpack. Looking at the two people carrying the same backpack, Fang Mingxiao's mouth corners curled up unconsciously.
When Jiang Yanqing looked over, she quickly let it go, as if nothing had happened.
The two of them walked out together. When they passed by Aunt Lin's house, Aunt Lin happened to be carrying a basket out of the house, and the two of them bumped into each other.
Since Aunt Lin knew that Qi Jiaming's leg could be cured, her face has returned to its usual smile, especially last night when she secretly went to see him. After her eldest son came back, his legs had been hurting so much that he couldn't sleep. After Fang Mingxiao's treatment, he finally slept well.
Seeing the smiles on Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao's faces widened many times, they complained with a smile, "Tell me, you two, are you dissatisfied with the fact that there are no good things in your aunt's house, so you asked Mingxiao to get some and invite you to come over for dinner, but in the end, both of you disappeared."
Jiang Yanqing smiled and walked forward to take Aunt Lin's hand, wrinkling her nose, acting like a spoiled child in front of her elders. She quickly explained, "No way, Auntie, I woke up early this morning and made noodles. I can't wait to eat Aunt Lin's cooking every day!"
Aunt Lin reached out and tapped Jiang Yanqing's forehead, saying unhappily, "You, you're so cunning! You look like you're going out, are you?"
Jiang Yanqing also smiled mischievously and replied, "I'm going to the county town to meet a friend, and Fang Mingxiao is going to buy some medicinal herbs."
When Aunt Lin heard this, she slapped her forehead as if she remembered something. She pulled Jiang Yanqing's hand away, said nothing, and hurriedly ran into the house.
Jiang Yanqing didn't want to leave either, so the two of them stood at the door and waited for a while. However, in less than a minute, Aunt Lin ran out again.
She was holding a wad of money in her hand and stuffed it into Fang Mingxiao's hand while saying, "Look at my memory. I was so happy last night that I forgot to give it to you. You need to buy some herbs, how can I let you two kids pay for it? If it's not enough, tell me and I'll make up for it."
Fang Mingxiao looked at Jiang Yanqing hesitantly. Jiang Yanqing nodded, indicating that Fang Mingxiao should accept it.
Fang Mingxiao then took the money, and Jiang Yanqing continued, "Then we won't be polite to you, Auntie. Brother Jiaming will be well soon."
At this moment, a woman who was on good terms with Aunt Lin happened to pass by. Seeing Aunt Lin handing money to a strange young man, she came forward and asked curiously, "Cui Xi, is this your relative? I haven't seen him before?"
Aunt Lin was in a good mood at the moment and was happy to explain, "Where is it? This is the doctor I asked to treat Jiaming's legs. He's the grandson of Doctor Xia from Leshan Village. You know Doctor Xia, right?"
This woman is from another place. Although she has been married here for some years, she doesn’t have many friends. When she is sick, she goes directly to the hospital at the mine, so she doesn’t know the local doctors who are passed down by word of mouth.
She shook her head and looked at Fang Mingxiao with some doubt in her eyes. "Cui Xi, I think you're losing your mind. Even the army hospital can't cure Jiaming's leg, so how can such a little kid be cured? You should save your money and buy Jiaming a wife to take care of him!"
In the first few days after Qi Jiaming returned, because of his military status and the good reputation of the Qi family, many people came to act as matchmakers, hoping to marry their daughters or relatives' daughters to him.
Later, Qi Jiaming became tired of being looked at by his matchmaker and said frankly that his legs were broken and he would not be able to walk in the future. As soon as he said this, all the matchmakers were scared away.
Everyone in the mine basically knew that the eldest son of the Qi family, who was a soldier, had a broken leg and had retired from the army.
