Chapter 354



놊, 놊 is not just talking about women, 놆 there are also many men.

"Arya..."

When Jian Xiu was immersed in her own thoughts, she heard the voice of Zhang Feilan behind her.

Following the direction of the voice, Jian Xiu turned around and saw a skinny little boy walking towards her.

"Mom, Brother Goudan!" Zhang Feilan said excitedly.

Brother Goudan's nickname and full name are both Goudan, and everyone in the village calls him that.

If she hadn't seen him again, Jian Xiu would have almost forgotten about this person.

His family lives in the westernmost part of Zhangjia Village and is also the poorest family in the village.

There are no parents in the family, only my grandmother, who is old.

Looking at the firewood that Goudan had placed on the ground, Jian Xiu probably understood what was going on.

Before he had a family, Goudan liked to play with Zhang Feilan.

On weekdays, he also takes good care of Zhang Feilan.

Thinking of this, she seemed to have not seen Goudan for some time.

Goudan seemed to have called out Zhang Feilan's name on impulse, and was now standing there timidly.

Jian Xiu felt extremely sad when she saw the helpless look and she didn't know why.

Just like Goudan was timid, Zhang Feilan was obviously much more excited when she saw Goudan.

"Brother Goudan, are you going to chop wood again? Are you going to sell it in the county town tomorrow?"

While saying this, Zhang Feilan had already walked towards Goudan.

Jian Xiu didn't say anything to stop him, just looked at Goudan in the distance.

She clearly saw his legs take a small step back, and when she looked at Feilan again, besides envy, there was also something called inferiority in her eyes.

Looking at Feilan again, she was wearing a pink satin dress and a hair accessory on her head.

In addition, because she had been eating well recently, not only her complexion had become rosy, but she had also gained weight.

She looks even more beautiful, and obviously looks like a rich girl.

Thinking this way, it’s no wonder that Goudan has such a mentality.

However, Zhang Feilan did not notice these. She only knew that she was very happy when she saw Goudan!

It was not until Zhang Feilan walked in front of Goudan that she realized that Goudan was no longer looking at her with the same joy as before.

"Brother Goudan, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Feilan asked curiously.

As he said this, he opened his small backpack, took out all the food inside, handed it to Goudan and said:

"These are delicious and sweet. Take some back for Grandma He!"

Seeing this, Goudan looked at Jian Xiu timidly, then lowered his head to look at the dozen or so candies in his pocket.

When I was about to return it, two more buns appeared in my bag.

Goudan looked up suddenly and saw Zhang Feilan looking sideways at him.

Her smile was very bright, but for some reason, Goudan felt as if he was very far away from her.

She still loves her good friend Erya, and still excitedly calls herself Brother Goudan.

But Goudan knew that she was no longer the Erya he knew before.

He wanted to help her with work and collect grass for the pigs, just like he did before, holding her little dog's hand.

But what about now?

He didn't even dare to get close to her or touch her clothes, for fear of getting them dirty...

Thinking of this, Goudan returned the food that Zhang Feilan had just given him!

Turn around and prepare to leave!

Zhang Feilan seemed to have noticed Goudan's alienation from her, her eyes immediately turned red, but she asked in a low voice:

"Brother Goudan, I haven't visited you for a long time. You must be angry. I have been in the county town for some time. I have a lot to learn. I can also read. I will teach you later, okay..."

"Feilan!"

Before Zhang Feilan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jian Xiu beside her.

Zhang Feilan saw the inferiority in Goudan's eyes, but Jian Xiu could see it too.

"Mom, I want to play with Brother Goudan. I haven't played with him for a long time!"

Zhang Feilan, who was interrupted, said with great grievance.

Jian Xiu nodded gently, and took another look at the dark sky. It should be the You hour.

He turned to Xiaohong and ordered, "Go to the storeroom to collect some cloth and some nourishing products, and then go to the kitchen to collect some food!"

"Okay, ma'am!" Xiaohong said respectfully.

After saying this, the man quickly walked towards Zhang's house.

At this time, Goudan had silently picked up the firewood that he had just placed on the ground.

He was very thin, and his clothes were torn and dirty. I guess he had no more clothes to change into.

At that time, it seemed that Goudan always wore the same clothes.

In the whole Zhangjia Village, his family is probably the poorest.

They were even poorer than Jian Xiu's family, who were cut off from their relationship at that time.

Goudan naturally heard what Jian Xiu told Xiaohong just now, but he didn't think those things were given to him.

If he already felt inferior when he saw Erya just now, then he felt even more inferior after hearing Jian Xiu's words.

He had always known that her family was no longer the same as it used to be.

Not only her family, but even several other families in the village have become better off because of her.

Therefore, he is no longer worthy of being Arya's friend.

Yes, she is no longer called Erya, she is now called Zhang Feilan.

I called her just now, but it just came out of my mouth.

In fact, he had seen her in the village several times, but she didn't see him.

Looking at her innocent and bright smile and her beautiful skirt, he realized that he didn't even have the qualifications to call her that.

Seeing Goudan gone, Zhang Feilan immediately shouted to Jian Xiu: "Mom..."

"Go!" Jian Xiu touched her head and said softly.

Fortunately, I traveled through time. If I hadn't, Feilan would have been having a harder time than Goudan.

After hearing Jian Xiu's words, Erya chased after Goudan without thinking.

"Brother Goudan, wait for me..."

Goudan, who was carrying firewood, obviously stiffened his back for a moment, but he quickly straightened up and continued walking to the other side of the village.

Because she walked slowly with the firewood on her back, Zhang Feilan quickly caught up with Goudan.

"Brother Goudan, I just called you, why did you ignore me?" Zhang Feilan asked impatiently as soon as she caught up with him.

As she said this, she raised the food in her mouth and continued:

"Why do you want to give it back to me? Don't worry, I have a lot of food like this at home now."

In the past, Goudan would pick up pheasant eggs in the mountains or find any other food.

Except for leaving some for Grandma He, all the delicious food would be given to Zhang Feilan.

There was more grass for the pigs, and most of it was picked by Goudan.

When she first moved to the end of the village, she went to look for him several times, but he was always away at home.

Later she went to the county town and hadn't seen him for a long time.

If it was rare to see him again, Zhang Feilan would naturally be willing to miss it.

"Why are you still following me?" After a long time, Goudan asked this question.

"Brother Goudan, what's wrong with you? Are you going to pay attention to me from now on? If you keep doing this, wuwuwu..."

By the end of the story, Zhang Feilan had even started crying.

She never thought that one day, Brother Goudan would pay attention to her.

When Goudan heard Zhang Feilan crying, he immediately panicked.

He quickly put down the firewood, walked to Zhang Feilan, stretched out his hands, and wiped her tears as he did before.

But when I saw my own legs, this thought instantly disappeared.

Look at your own hands. Not only are there small wounds, but they are also very black and dirty......

Looking at Zhang Feilan's cheeks again, they were white and rosy, no longer dirty like before, and no longer cracked like before...

There weren't any wounds.

Very clean and looks moisturized.

Goudan was startled, and immediately retracted his 녿꿛, looking at Zhang Feilan with a wry smile:

"Why are you still following me? You're not picking grass for pigs anymore!"

"But I haven't seen Brother Goudan for a long time. Is it okay for me to go play with Brother Goudan just because I want to?"

"Do you think I have time to play with you? I've been looking for firewood at the foot of the mountain all day, and I'm going to take it to the county town to sell before dawn tomorrow. How about I pick up more firewood in my spare time?"

"Brother Goudan, don't worry, I'll go with you to pick it up, okay?"

While saying these words, Zhang Feilan stuffed the food she had just eaten into Goudan's mouth again, "Brother Goudan, take these and eat them!"

Looking at the little creature stretched out in front of him, Goudan was completely defeated.

"Why are you so stupid? Take these back! Brother Goudan, here!"

This time, Goudan felt really distressed and even without caring about his own dirtiness, he gently wiped the tears from her face.

"These are all given to Brother Goudan by me. Come on, Brother Goudan, I haven't seen Grandma He for a while. I want to see her."

While saying this, Zhang Feilan walked behind the two bundles of firewood, intending to carry some for Goudan.

Seeing this, Goudan hurried forward and carried the firewood up on his back.

When Jian Xiu, who was far away, saw this scene, he did not step forward immediately, but just watched from a distance.

She didn't even notice Xiaohong approaching her.

"Madam?" Xiao Hong called out softly with helplessness.

This sound immediately brought Jian Xiu back to his senses.

The only one she saw now was Goudan, but how many other children like Goudan were there in Zhangjia Village?

Even if she opened a workshop and could solve the problem of food and clothing for most families in the village, it would not be so easy to solve the problem of these children's literacy.

...............................................................................................

The western end of the village.

When Zhang Feilan and Goudan returned, the house was quiet.

It was getting darker and darker inside the house, so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Grandma, I'm back!"

Goudan seemed to have become accustomed to this situation. Even in the dark, he could still find what he wanted accurately.

"Goudan is back... cough..."

There were coughing sounds coming from the room.

Hearing this familiar cough, Zhang Feilan hurried to her bedside and asked with concern:

"Grandma He, my dear Erya, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

As he said this, he found the boiling water as if he was familiar with it, then took out the broken bowl from the side and poured the water into it carefully.

Seeing that the water temperature was just right, he brought it to Old Mrs. He's bed.

"Grandma He, hurry up, drink some water!"

Old Mrs. He didn't show any mercy to her. As the weather turned cold, her health became worse and worse.

It really depends on people.

If she couldn't bear to give up her poor grandson, she really wanted to just die.

Looking at the bowl in front of her, Old Mrs. He didn't bother to be polite with Zhang Feilan and just drank it with her wine.

She knew very well that if she drank some water, she would not be able to stop coughing.

"Little girl, you haven't been here for a long time. What happened at home?"

After stopping her cough, Old Mrs. He immediately asked Erya with concern.

In the past, this girl came to her every now and then.

In the blink of an eye, I haven't been here for a long time.

"Grandma He, I..."

"Grandma, you have to call her little girl now. She has a name now. Her name is Zhang Feilan!"

Before Zhang Feilan could speak, Goudan beside her had already spoken.

Zhang Feilan also knew what was going on. When she heard this, she felt very happy.

Yu 놆 said to Goudan without thinking:

"So what if I changed my name? I'm still that Arya, I...I..."

At this point, Zhang Feilan looked like she was about to cry again.

This is the first time in my life that Brother Goudan has spoken to me in such a tone.

She felt uncomfortable hearing this.

Grandma He, who was standing by, heard this and immediately yelled at Goudan:

"Goudan, how can you talk like that? Look at you, how could you make Erya so angry?"

While saying this, Old He held Zhang Feilan's breasts in her palms and patted them lightly twice.

Only after this touch did Old He realize that her body had changed.

"Oh, my Erya's little feet are all slippery!" said old Mrs. He with a smile.

"Well, Grandma He, my mother asks me to apply this every day. If you like it, I will give it to you!"

After that, she took out a small jar of something from the small cross-body bag she carried with her and handed it to Old He's hand.

With the help of the light, Mrs. He was able to discover what Zhang Feilan was wearing.

Look at the hair accessories on her head, and...

"Er Ya, you... "

Zhang Feilan didn't notice Old He's disagreement, and took out the food that Goudan had wanted just now.

He stuffed it into Old Mrs. He's pocket and said, "Grandma He, these are all for you. This candy is delicious, and this steamed bun..."

"Oh, this is really good, really good, you little girl, what nonsense are you talking about, such a precious thing, how could you just give it to an old woman like me?"

While saying this, he kept stuffing the food in his mouth into Zhang Feilan's mouth.

Her eyesight was very good, but even with her eyesight being very good, she could still see clearly what Zhang Feilan was wearing.

"Grandma He, I have a lot of food at home. These are all for you. Eat these today. I will bring you a lot more tomorrow!"

After hearing what Zhang Feilan said, Grandma He realized that something was wrong.

"Feilan, what's wrong with your house?"

She has been bedridden for the past few months, and she really knows what happened in Jian Xiu's family.

Hearing his grandmother's words, Goudan immediately said, "Grandma..."

"Is anyone there?"

Before Goudan could finish his words, he heard a sound at the door.

"My mother, my mother is here!" Zhang Feilan said with a smile.

While getting up, the food in the mouth was quickly stuffed into Old He's mouth.

The short legs ran out even faster, still shouting: "Mom, Mom..."

Jian Xiu has been busy recently and hasn't been here for a long time.

When she first married into Zhangjia Village, Mrs. He took good care of her.

Old Mrs. He and Goudan in the room also heard Jian Xiu's voice, especially Goudan.

Thinking of what she had just told the maid, she hurried towards the door.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Jian Xiu coming in with both hands full of things.

At this time, there was no maid by her side, probably because she wanted to make Old He and Goudan feel inferior.

After hearing what Zhang Feilan said, Goudan quickly put down his work and walked towards the door cautiously.

But when he saw what was in Jian Xiu's box, he was stunned.

At this time, Old Mrs. He in the room was struggling to get up, because she also heard Jian Xiu's voice.

After struggling twice, he still couldn't get up.

"Mom, why are you here too?" Zhang Feilan was obviously very happy to see Jian Xiu.

Jian Xiu just gently touched the top of Zhang Feilan's head and didn't say anything.

Instead, he looked at Old Mrs. He beside him and asked, "Aunt He, are you feeling better lately?"

When she said this, she had already asked Coco to start scanning Old Mrs. He.

Old Mrs. He's original name was He Cuihua. She was just over fifty years old, but she was bedridden all the year round.

In the past, Jian Xiu might have felt that she was never full, which led to malnutrition.

But now I find that good nutrition will really make her like this.

She suspected that she had consumption, which was what she called tuberculosis in her previous life.

Because every time she came over, I would occasionally hear her coughing.

But it's too serious.

Just like this time...

When she saw herself coming in, she got excited.

Once I get excited, I start coughing non-stop.

"Grandma, come on, drink some water!" Goudan, who was standing aside, also paid attention to Jian Xiu and handed the wooden bowl in his mouth to Old He's.

It wasn't until she took a sip of water that Coco got the answer.

Sure enough, it was just as I had guessed.

Cocoa scanned it and it was not sick.

"Is it still possible to recuperate now?" Jian Xiu couldn't help but ask.

"Of course you can, just use the potion in your mouth!" Coco said clearly.

"But if I give it to her, what about Chi Zijin?"

"You have a big bottle. She only needs a few drops to detoxify. Are you worried that it's not enough?"

“So little?”

"Where is Ran?" Coco asked curiously.

After asking this question, Coco seemed to remember something and asked in surprise:

"You should have poured more than half of the water into Chi Zijin's bowl, right?"

Jian Xiu: “…” She could say that she really fell down a lot.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt distressed.

Seeing Jian Xiu like this, Keke had an even bigger headache, "Really? You actually fell down."

"I didn't pour enough. I thought that bottle of potion could only cure one person, so I poured a little more the first time."

Coco: “…” What’s this pig-headed thing?

"So what should we do now? If she drinks so much, will the effect be the same as if she drinks just a little?"

"Of course. You know, the human body functions like this. She can only consume so much in a day. What's the use of feeding her more?"

Coco said unhappily.

She was really angry. How could she have such a stupid master?

"I've already fed it, so I just need to save it in the future. How much should I put in this for Old Lady He?"

Holding back her heartache, Jian Xiu asked Coco again.

So what if I feel bad, the money has been spent and she has vomited it out, so I can only work harder to earn some money in the future.

"You only need to put a few drops here, and then drink it for a week, and it will basically be cured."

"So fast?" Jian Xiu asked with eyes wide open.

"Of course it's not that easy. Do you have to prescribe some medicine for me?"

After finishing speaking, he read out He Cuihua's prescription.

Jian Xiu was stunned by this. "How many days do you need to take the medicine? Is the medicine in the supermarket enough?"

"You really think you are a god. Besides, He Cuihua has some health problems besides her illness. She still needs to be treated, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Jian Xiu was choked.

That's right. For people like He Cuihua, it's obvious that this is caused by years of poor nutrition.

Therefore, even if her tuberculosis was cured, she would not last long.

Tuberculosis is most likely to relapse, so a strong resistance is required.

Thinking of this, Jian Xiu hurriedly pretended to walk to He Cuihua's bed.

Sitting on a small stool with a broken leg, he said to He Cuihua:

"Aunt He, please hold out your hand and let me take your pulse!"

"You can treat?" He Cuihua asked in surprise.

Jian Xiu was naturally not a stranger to her. In the past, only Jian Xiu would come over from time to time to help take care of the two of them, a grandparent and a grandchild.

But they had known each other for such a long time, and she didn't really know that she was a doctor.

"Well, come, let me show you!" Jian Xiu said bluntly.

When she said this, she had already gone up to the bed and took He Cuihua's bed.

Then he began to diagnose her in a similar manner.

After a while, he said to Goudan in a familiar manner:

"Her condition is difficult to cure. Come with me to my place later and I'll give you some medicine."

In their situation, not to mention medicine, even being able to swallow food has become a problem.

Jian Xiu knew very well that their only income came from the firewood that Goudan chopped in the mountains every day.

Thinking of this, he naturally took the bowl with a hole in it from He Cuihua's mouth.

Pour the medicine in front of them and add a little warm water.

Then he handed it to He Cuihua and said:

"This is the potion I specially prepared. Drink it! If you follow my prescription in the future, I guarantee that your illness will be cured."

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, He Cuihua's eyes lit up.

But she quickly hid it well again.

"I'm sick, old lady. I know I'm going to get better soon. I don't want to waste money on medicine anymore."

"Grandma, how can you say such a thing? Auntie said that your illness can be cured. Don't worry, firewood is easy to collect now. I will definitely earn the money for your medicinal herbs."

Goudan looked at He Cuihua and said very firmly.

Listening to what the grandparents and grandchildren said, Jian Xiu handed the bowl in her mouth to He Cuihua without thinking.

"Aunt He, drink this potion first! It will be more effective. Drink it, and I'll ask Goudan to come to me for more medicine later!"

This time, He Cuihua did not refuse and drank it in small sips from the bowl.

As soon as He Cuihua drank the potion, her eyes widened.

"Jian Xiu, your medicine... this medicine... cough..."

He Cuihua started coughing again because of this excitement.

This time he only coughed a few times, and then stopped naturally.

There is no more breathless feeling in the chest.

"Jian Xiu, tell your aunt honestly, this medicine is very expensive?" He Cuihua asked immediately after she stopped coughing.

She has been ill for several years, and the feeling in her body just now was deceiving.

She clearly felt that her breathing had become much smoother.

Just like what happened just now, if it were normal, I would not be able to stop coughing at all.

Even if the coughing stops, it will take a long time.

But what about just now?

She coughed a few times and then stopped naturally.

Jian Xiu knew she would say this, Yu 놆 said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Aunt He. This medicine is expensive. I made it myself. From now on, just ask Goudan to get it from me every day. Drink it for a few days, and with my herbs, you will recover soon."

After hearing Jian Xiu's words, He Cuihua didn't speak for a long time.

She also knew the reason for the potion just now. She even seemed to see things in front of her more clearly.

Because of this, she felt that the Jian Xiu in front of her was too similar to the Jian Xiu she had seen before.

Then look at Arya who is following her.

The clothes worn by the mother and daughter were completely different from before.

Looking up from the direction of what the mother and daughter were wearing, I saw that the other hair accessories on the second girl's head were also very delicate.

I still remember the pile of things Jian Xiu brought in when she came in just now...

All this was telling He Cuihua that the Jian Xiu in front of her was no longer the same Jian Xiu as before.

After enduring for a while, He Cuihua couldn't help but asked Jian Xiu: "Jian Xiu, what are you doing..."

"Grandma, does the workshop in the village want to hire workers? I didn't tell you that the workshop was actually opened by Aunt Jian."

Before He Cuihua could finish her words, she was interrupted by Goudan beside her.

After hearing this, it took He Cuihua a while to react.

"Jian Xiu, you...I..."

"Don't worry, Auntie. Even if I open a workshop, I will still be that Jian Xiu!"

Listening to He Cuihua's stuttering, Jian Xiu couldn't help but speak.

After saying this, Jian Xiu took out the food that Xiao Hong had prepared for her from the pile of things she had just brought over.

When I opened the oil paper, there were several meat buns and even some steamed buns inside.

He took out two meat buns and stuffed one into Goudan's mouth without thinking.

The other one was stuffed into He Cuihua's pocket, "Take these foods, don't be polite to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the grandfather and grandson both shook their heads.

"This meat bun..."

"If you really want to repay me, then you should quickly get well and go up the mountain to collect herbs. Then you can return the food to me, right?"

Jian Xiu had already thought of these words before coming here.

If she said that, given He Cuihua's personality, she would definitely accept it.

But if I said that, she would definitely accept it.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, He Cuihua no longer refused.

In fact, how could she understand Jian Xiu's good intentions?

He just looked at his skinny, sallow grandson looking at him eagerly.

He Cuihua knew that if she refused to accept it, she and her grandson might starve to death here.

"Jian Xiu, Auntie thanks you in advance for this meat bun..."

"Aunt, you eat first. Only when you are full can you think about the future."

After saying this, Jian Xiu prepared the potion for Goudan to drink tomorrow, and then followed Zhang Feilan out.

Before going back, Jian Xiu repeatedly told Goudan to come to their Zhang's house tomorrow to get a prescription.

I drank the medicine today and should feel better this evening. As for the medicinal herbs, I will start boiling them tomorrow.

"Brother Goudan, remember to come over tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you at home!"

When they reached the door, Zhang Feilan gave Goudan repeated instructions.

Seeing the reluctant look on her face, Jian Xiu kept shaking her head.

When we returned to Zhang's house, Chi Zijin and his friends had just arrived.

Seeing Jian Xiu, Chi Zijin was obviously surprised.

After her previous treatment, Chi Zijin's affection for her could be said to be overflowing.

In the past, she would feel out of breath even if she walked a few more steps, let alone such a long distance.

And what about Japan?

She actually walked around the village like this, panting.

"Sister-in-law, you're back?" Chi Zijin asked first.

Jian Xiu said "hmm" lightly, and then her eyes fell on her face.

She looked pretty good, with even a tiny bit of sweat on her forehead.

It looks like there shouldn't be any problem.

"Come in, dinner will be soon!" Jian Xiu said lightly.

"Well, okay!" Chi Zijin said with a smile.

She knew why, even though it was only her first day here, she felt extremely comfortable.
