"Why is it not suitable? Doesn't she like Wei Xiao?"
Chen Tan looked at their appearance and thought they were a good match.
"Our two families don't have a good relationship. If we get together, when will our grandchildren be able to have a big future?"
The helplessness in Wu Xia's tone was heartbreaking. "But Xiaozi is obsessed with her, sending her gifts every now and then. I'm really afraid of being reported and accused of being a hooligan."
"Aunt, I don't think status is a problem. Instead, whether two people truly love each other is the most important thing." Chen Tan thought that in another five years, everything would be better, and continued to persuade, "Marrying someone you don't love, or marrying someone you don't like, will make you feel uncomfortable for the rest of your life, and that would be painful."
Wu Xia thought about it and felt that what Chen Tan said was correct.
It's already like this, how much worse can it get?
If the two of them were together, Qin Wuqiang would not have provoked Liang Zhiqing.
She also didn't have to worry about her son getting into trouble because of Liang Zhiqing, so she had the best of both worlds.
She suddenly understood and said, "Auntie is narrow-minded. From now on, I won't stop them. When they are determined, I will treat you to the wedding."
The two of them were chatting when they arrived at the sanitation station. Xie Shuijun, who was in the room, heard the noise and ran out, "Auntie, Sister Tan, I want to attend the wedding too."
"Haha, okay, I'll give you plenty to drink when Xiaozi gets married," Wu Xia walked over and straightened his clothes. "Do you have any meat left?"
"Yes, Brother Li gave me a big one," Xie Shuijun nodded heavily and pulled Wu Xia into the house. "Aunt, come in and sit down. Sister, come in too."
Chen Tan followed the two of them with a smile, while Xie Junqian was still playing chess.
She handed the book over and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I've finished reading the book."
"Have you finished copying it so quickly?" Xie Junqian took the book and carefully put it in the medicine cabinet.
"Brother Qin helped me draw this, but I've memorized all the medicinal herbs in the book," Chen Tan smiled and took out a large pottery jar from the basket.
"I used the recipe in the book to make a jar of frostbite cream. Can you take a look? Is it up to standard?"
Xie Junqian looked at her for a moment, then took the pot, opened it and took a sniff. "It's definitely medicine. You made so much, are you planning on having me sell it?"
This girl made so many frostbite creams, definitely not for him to taste.
He is such a bold man. He dares to do anything just by reading a few pages of a book.
Xie Junqian was a casual person, but he was very serious about medical skills, and he suddenly felt a little angry.
Chen Tan pretended not to notice the anger on his face and said, "When I went to the county town a few days ago, I heard the educated youth say their hands were frostbitten, so I did some more."
"Learning medicine requires diligent practice over time. You can't just read a few books and start making medicine and make money. You're just kidding!" Xie Junqian became even more annoyed, his voice suddenly rising, "How much more have you done?"
"Thirteen pounds and eight ounces." Chen Tan replied weakly.
She knew that the more she talked, the more angry Xie Junqian would become.
He couldn't bear to see her waste the medicine.
"You, you, you..." Xie Junqian's beard curled up in anger. He raised his hand and tapped Chen Tan's forehead. "Can Qin Li indulge you like this?"
He practically yelled.
Xie Shuijun and Wu Xia were both shocked.
Xie Shuijun hugged his grandfather's arm and said, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Sister Tan is not sensible. We will teach her slowly."
Wu Xia quickly stretched out her hand and said, "Grandpa, this frostbite cream made by Tan Nier is very effective. Look at my hands. I've only been using it for two days and the cuts are gone."
Chen Tan understood Xie Junqian's feelings. If she wasn't waiting for the money, she wouldn't have taken such a risk to get the frostbite cream.
She just stood there obediently, waiting for Xie Junqian to continue scolding her.
Xie Junqian picked up a lump with a piece of wood and smeared it on his hands. His tone softened considerably. "Let me try it for two days and then we'll tell you what the price is."
"Two yuan an ounce, plus one ounce of sugar or oil coupons. If you don't have coupons, it's two yuan and a half an ounce."
Chen Tan replied calmly.
She used honey in the chilblain ointment.
Tea bran soap requires coconut oil.
If you just sell money without tickets, you won’t be able to do anything else.
"What did you say?" Xie Junqian's eyes widened. "Someone bought it for ten cents and one ounce, and you laughed."
No one comes here to buy medicine, and it's so expensive, who would be stupid enough to buy it?
Xie Shuijun also said: "Sister Tan, it's too expensive, no one buys it."
Chen Tan took out a pack of flower-shaped tea bran soap from the basket.
"Thank you, Grandpa Shuijun. You can give this tea bran soap to the first three people who buy it. If anyone else wants tea bran soap, they have to buy half a pound of chilblain cream. As for the price of chilblain cream, it's two dollars and fifty cents per two ounces. Not a cent less."
The medicine is not worth the price, but the spiritual spring water is.
"Okay, if you can't sell it, you can take it back."
Xie Junqian didn't have much confidence in this frostbite cream.
It’s so expensive, who would be willing to buy it?
"Okay." Chen Tan did not argue.
"Well, go back quickly. It's an eyesore," Xie Junqian said with disdain, but he still took out a book from the bookcase. It was a circle larger than the last book. "You draw the picture yourself this time. When you're done, bring it to me and see it."
"good."
Chen Tan took it and saw that it was a book on acupuncture points. Her smile became even brighter.
"Grandpa, you and Shui Jun, take care of yourselves. Let's go."
Wu Xia, who was standing by, saw that everything was fine, so she pulled Chen Tan and walked out quickly.
She wanted to go back and discuss her son's marriage with Liang Zhiqing with the head of the family.
When the two returned home, Chen Tan saw that Qin Li had not returned yet, and he became worried.
She went to the backyard and got some frostbite cream, whitening and freckle-removing mask, and tea bran soap for Wu Xia.
Wu Xia thought about the price of the sandalwood and didn't dare to take it. "I am old and shameless, why would I need such a precious thing?"
"Auntie, don't be so quick to refuse," Chen Tan put the things into her basket, "I want to use your old, yellow, and spotted face to test the effect of my facial mask. If it works, Grandpa Xie will praise me."
"Tsk tsk, you devilish girl, I have to accept it, thank you." Wu Xia was holding the basket, smiling from ear to ear, "Aunt, I'm leaving now."
"Let's go, let's go back and see Xiaozi's father."
Qin Qiuniang was reading a book in a recliner under the eaves and waved her hand gracefully.
Chen Tan looked at the leisurely old lady and couldn't help but sigh that after getting rid of all the worldly desires, there was nothing wrong with this slow-paced life.
She took out the soles and wool and started crocheting shoes.
In the mountains, the veterinary medicine Qin Li brought back from the county cured the old sow's illness, and the three of them were very happy.
Wei Xiao caught a big goose and cleaned it. Song Che took charge of the cooking and stewed a pot of goose soup.
Qin Li took out a bottle of white wine, and the three of them gathered around the earthenware pot on the fire and started eating.
"Oh, I've been so worried about you these past few days. I need to replenish my energy," Wei Xiao said as he picked up two large goose legs, wrapped them in oil paper, and put them in his arms. "I'll eat them tonight."
Qin Li glanced at him with disgust, "Look at your useless look. If you like a woman, just say it directly and do it openly. It's embarrassing to sneak around."
