After eating, the two returned to the acquisition station. After coming to the Chinese medicine collection counter, Chen Guoliang asked Old Man Qin: "Uncle, I want to ask you about the book you gave us, do you accept all the medicinal materials here?"

Old man Qin replied: "All are charged, but the price is different." ”

Chen Guoliang asked again: "How much is a catty of lily of the valley?"

Old man Qin returned: "Lily of the valley, we will collect the roots and dry them for a penny and a catty." And like this time, clean up and don't bring sand. ”

Chen Guoliang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he said without revealing his face: "Don't worry, uncle, as long as we pick the herbs, we will definitely clean it up." ”

After asking, the two returned to the ox cart and continued to read the "Compendium of Herbs". At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Changshan returned here and got on the ox cart, and said to Grandpa Chen: "Uncle let's go, let's go back to the village." ”

After staggering for more than an hour to the entrance of Guangming Village, Chen Changshan led Chen Guoliang and Song Xiaoling out of the car, and Grandpa Chen drove the ox cart back to the animal husbandry team.

Chen Changshan thought about it and decided to go to Song's house with Song Xiaoling, Chen Guoliang and Song Xiaoling walked in front and chattered and studied the herbs in the "Compendium of Herbs", Chen Changshan's heavy mood unconsciously relaxed a little when he saw this warm scene, and he was not so nervous.

When he arrived at Song's house, Song's father happened to be at home, and when he saw Chen Changshan coming, he greeted him, came out and said, "Changshan is here!"

Chen Changshan replied: "Is Zhiyuan free? Let's talk." ”

Father Song saw Chen Changshan's solemn expression and knew that something must have happened, after all, the two had been friends for many years. So he led Chen Changshan to Song Xiaoling's West House.

And Song Xiaoling and Chen Guoliang divided the money in the hall. Song Xiaoling said: "Brother Guoliang, we sold a total of nine yuan and three yuan per person this time, which is just right." ”

And Chen Guoliang said: "No, you found that piece of schisandra, so this time I will give you four pieces, and I and Guodong will have five pieces." I'll give you two more dollars, and the copy of "Compendium of Herbs" is considered to have been bought by me. ”

Song Xiaoling replied: "No, it was said that it would be divided equally, and the money for the book "Compendium of Herbs" that I wanted to buy would be paid by me." It just so happens that I will go to school this fall, and I can use it to know some words in advance, and then Brother Guoliang will have to teach me you. ”

In the end, after negotiation between the two, it was decided that the nine yuan earned from selling herbs, Song Xiaoling would get four yuan, and Chen Guoliang and Chen Guodong would get five yuan. The book "Compendium of Herbs" was bought by Song Xiaoling.

After dividing the money, the two continued to lie on the table, reading the herbs on the book.

After entering the house, I don't know what the two of them said? When they came out, Chen Changshan's face had relaxed a lot. At this time, Chen Changshan said: "Zhiyuan, if it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

Father Song replied: "Okay, if it's nothing, you can go back first! This matter will be done according to what we say, you can rest assured!"

After hearing this, Chen Changshan said to Chen Guoliang: "Guoliang, have you finished studying with Lingzi?"

Chen Guoliang returned: "Dad, we are all ready, do you want to go home? ”

Chen Changshan said: "Okay, then you quickly pack up, let's go home together!"

Chen Guoliang said to Song Xiaoling: "Lingzi, let's go up the mountain tomorrow, right?"
