"Hey~ you actually guessed right, kid." Hu Jiuyuan raised one eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Then can you tell what illness he has?"
Lin Ziqiu shook his little head like a rattle drum.
He just guessed randomly; the man and woman both looked quite healthy, not sick.
But since his master insisted that he answer, he could only guess randomly.
But I never expected that he would actually be right.
"Master, these two don't seem sick to me. What illness do they have?" Lin Ziqiu asked honestly.
Hu Jiuyuan stroked his beard and said with a somewhat malicious smile, "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring. People are just sick of being unfilial."
"Huh? He can't have babies?" Lin Ziqiu was somewhat surprised.
However, his voice was a little too loud, and the couple who were on their way to get medicine from Doctor Wang heard it, and they immediately panicked.
Looking around, I realized it was a little kid playing in front of the pharmacy, who looked no more than five or six years old.
The two relaxed and, not daring to linger for fear of being overheard, quickly ran into the pharmacy.
Could it be that their problems are already that obvious?
It's amazing that they can even tell the difference from such a small baby!
Doctor Wang is so much older than this little kid, surely he can cure them, right?
"You're a stubborn one too," Hu Jiuyuan said with a smirk.
Speaking so loudly, aren't you afraid of being chased and beaten?
The couple who came for the treatment left in a hurry. Lin Ziqiu covered his mouth and asked softly, "Master, can they be cured?"
"Hehe~" Hu Jiuyuan laughed smugly, "If it were here with me, it would naturally be able to cure it, but it might not be so elsewhere."
Lin Ziqiu continued, "I heard that there's a doctor named Wang at this pharmacy who's quite skilled; maybe he can cure it too?"
"Hmph, just watch, with his pathetic skills?" Hu Jiuyuan was full of disdain when he heard his apprentice praising someone else.
"..." Lin Ziqiu dared not say anything more, and remained squatting at the entrance of the pharmacy, pointing and commenting on everyone who came to get medicine.
...
As usual, Lin Ji Restaurant sold out of roasted sweet potato noodles, but there was still some fruit salad left. Young Master Liu and Jiang Yongqiang rushed to pack up all the remaining fruit salad.
Jiang Yongqiang was still a little angry because he had missed out on two portions.
Liu Junlan originally didn't have a good impression of this boy who dared to humiliate her Wanwan, but now that he was calling her "great-grandmother" all the time, she couldn't help but advise, "His family has more people, so it's fine if he buys it and shares it. Your family isn't that big, and this stuff is a bit cold, so be careful not to get diarrhea if you eat too much."
"Thank you for your concern, Great-Grandma. Actually, I have a lot of family members. Those boys probably ate more than pigs! But for your sake, I'll let Uncle Liu have his way!" Jiang Yongqiang carried the packed fruit and got into his carriage.
Young Master Liu: "..."
Where is my uncle?!
Before leaving, Jiang Yongqiang didn't forget to lift the curtain and call out to Lin Wanyue, "Grandma, I'll pick you up in a couple of days to go play on the pleasure boat. It'll be cooler on the boat and not so hot!"
"Okay." Lin Wanyue had never been on a pleasure boat before, and finding it interesting, she nodded.
Seeing that Lin Wanyue agreed, Jiang Yongqiang left happily.
...
But this sweltering heat didn't last long. As the night fell and dark clouds obscured the stars, Lin Wanyue ran over to her parents and said, "Dad, shall we not make fruit tomorrow? I think it's going to rain."
"It's so hot, it's about time for some rain. If it doesn't rain soon, I don't know how dry the fields will become." Lin Weiming casually wiped the sweat from his forehead with his clothes. He was busy preparing for tomorrow and couldn't even use a fan because of the heat.
Laifu took the opportunity to run out and peek, then quickly ran back to help with a skewer for peeling sweet potato skins.
Since arriving in the county town, the Lin family has been too busy with their shop, so Lin Wanyue set her sights on him.
Lai Fu's wonderful life of eating and sleeping on the rooftop every day, enjoying candy and basking in the moonlight, is gone forever. During the day, he has to be busy steaming sweet potato skins, and at night he has to help peel skewers. He even has to wash the lotus leaves for making fruit salad!
To prevent Laifu's bad luck from spreading to others, Lin Wanyue specially prepared gloves and a mask for him, just like the staff at a milk tea shop in later generations.
Laifu felt that he had never felt so wronged as a ghost.
But every time Lai Fu was about to give up and sneak off to someone else's house, Lin Wanyue would just bring him a handful of candy, stopping him from sneaking off to someone else's house.
After all, this little girl has been quite good to him, and she even registered her name in the underworld for his sake. It wouldn't be good if he harmed her.
Laifu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to stay.
Liu Junlan washed the lotus leaves in her hands, trimmed part of the edges with a pair of scissors to leave a suitable size, and said, "It would be good if it rained soon. If it rains in May and it's still around the Dragon Boat Festival, then there will be another drought. We suffered enough from drought in the past two years, but in the countryside, we could always find some wild vegetables to fill our stomachs. But here in the city, there are so many people. If there is a drought, we probably won't even be able to find hot food."
"Grandma~" Lin Wanyue rushed over and hugged Liu Junlan's leg, acting coquettishly, "We don't eat poop!"
Her villa has plenty of delicious food, enough to keep the whole family well-fed.
"Good Wanwan, our Wanwan is the best. Even if Grandma only has a sip of soup, Wanwan will definitely have a bite of meat." Liu Junlan felt happy looking at her little granddaughter.
