The flow of people in the farmhouse at eleven was really large, and Li Manman acted as a firefighter. Seeing that school was about to start the next day, Li Manman begged several times to get a day off from his mother, and was required to be home before four o'clock in the afternoon, because the hotel needed manpower.

Finally to fight for a day of vacation, early in the morning Li Manman went out, sat on the 20 road public car, staggered to the city, at this time the 20 road dilapidated terribly, the big iron car, the car paint mottled, the wooden seat is incomplete, the start of the long and clattering, the speed is also slow to death, from the end point of Taihuang County Road 20 Huaidong City in the west of a district center Xie Yingji, in fact, it is not far, dozens of kilometers only, 20 road ran for an hour.

When he got out of the car, Li Manman felt dizzy, a little uncomfortable in his heart, and wanted to vomit, knowing that he was motion sickness, he walked a few steps away from the flow of people, and took a few breaths of fresh air to suppress the disgusting feeling. I went out and bought a bottle of soda to drink, then I turned back to the station and got on bus No. 3 to the downtown area. The condition of the No. 3 bus is a little better than that of the No. 20, but it is not much better, just a little less bumpy.

Walk from home at half past seven, it was more than nine o'clock, Li Manman arrived at the center of Huaidong City, Huaidong City at this time is much more dilapidated than Huaidong City in Li Manman's impression, there are basically no high-rise buildings, and more than ten years later, it has become an old city, and the city center has moved to the south. There are many high-rise buildings, many modern shopping malls and brands, pedestrian streets, and commercial centers have been built one after another.

According to the impression in his memory, Li Manman found a Chinese medicine store that is still very famous decades later, as soon as he entered the door, it was the fragrance of medicinal herbs, the decoration was antique, making people feel as if he had entered the time tunnel, the store was very quiet, an older old man sat behind a table, dozing off, it should be a sitting doctor, two young people at the counter, one holding a book and reading it with relish, and the other was bored with an abacus.

"Excuse me, do you accept medicinal herbs here?" Li Manman stood in front of the counter and asked cautiously, a little apprehensive about breaking this tranquility in his heart.

"Collect, what medicinal herbs do you have?" The young man who played with the abacus replied nonchalantly.

"There are several kinds, each of which is about ten catties, and there are more than a dozen dendrobiums." Li Manman replied.

"Oh! Do you have dendrobium? Where, take a look! The dozing old man interjected.

"On a tricycle outside." Li Manman pointed to the tricycle at the door, which Li Manman bought secretly, and spent a lot of money, which made Li Manman feel painful.

"Let's go, take me to have a look, Xiao Liu, you go in and call Lao Li to come out and collect medicinal herbs." The old man came out from behind his seat excitedly and instructed the young man who was playing with the abacus.

Li Manman took the old man to the front of the car, took out the bag containing dendrobium from the car, and handed it to the old man, who carefully opened the bag and took out a plant to observe carefully, with a happy expression on his face.

At this time, there was a chubby red-faced old man who walked out of the store, followed by Xiao Liu. "Child, where are the adults in your family?" The red-faced old man asked when he saw a child next to the car.

"My dad has something to do, let me sell these medicinal herbs, he said that your store is a century-old store, honest management, very famous, will not deceive children." Li Manman lied and praised the shop at the same time.

"Haha, your dad is right, we have a century-old reputation!" Lao Li laughed and said to Li Manman, "Which medicinal materials, take them out and show me!" ”

"This is honeysuckle, this is wolfberry, this is Polygonum multiflori, this is cinnamon, this is thistle, this is daylily, banxia, angelica, and dendrobium." Li Manman opened the bag in the car and showed it to Lao Li all the time.

Lao Li opened the bags one by one, took out some of them first, and sniffed them again: "The quality is good, the concoction technique is a little rough, next time I will be more careful." After reading the medicinal materials, Lao Li looked at Li Manman and said: "You are a child, but our store has always valued reputation, I will give you the price of these medicinal materials, what do you think?" ”

Li Manman knew that his method of concocting medicinal materials was not very professional, and it might damage the efficacy of the medicine, so he nodded: "You look at it, I don't understand, my father said, we won't suffer." ”

Lao Li laughed again, and asked Xiao Liu to start weighing, and the doctor who sat in the hall took the dendrobium to watch beside him, and when the weighing was over, these dendrobiums were counted by tree.

Coming out of the Chinese medicine store, Li Manman put the money into the space and left quickly on a tricycle, although they are not precious medicinal materials, some of them are dug back by Li Manman in the field, but the price of selling is a lot. When settling the money, Lao Li also instructed Li Manman to hide the money well, and the security in Huaidong City at this time was not very good. Although Li Manman is a master of art and bold, he is also grateful to Lao Li for his kindness.

Finding a hidden place, Li Manman put the tricycle into the space, and then walked along the road, slowly strolling, to the time-honored dim sum shop, weighing a few catties of mung bean cake for his grandmother, and then to the toy store to buy a toy pistol for Taotao children, Xiao Yongzi and his cousin's Dong Dong. Finally, I went to the bookstore to see what good books there were, and I was going to buy a few business management books for my father and sister-in-law.

At noon, Li Manman went to the beef soup restaurant to eat a bowl of spicy beef soup, which is a famous snack that has been famous throughout the country for more than ten years, and this shop has been selected as the most mellow and authentic beef soup shop, with branches all over the province.

"Li Manman, Li Manman!" Li Manman was strolling around the park with the things in his hand, when he heard someone shouting about himself, and when he turned around, he saw a very handsome boy, smiling at him.

Li Manman's careful liver was excited, when did he know such a handsome guy? I must have heard it wrong!

"Li Manman, is it really you?" Just as he was about to turn around, he was patted on the shoulder, and now Li Manman recognized the person who patted him, what a coincidence, he didn't expect to meet Jiang Lizhou, his appearance has not changed, I can't see if he has lost weight, but he has grown a lot taller.

"Jiang Lizhou, what a coincidence!" Li Manman also laughed, grabbed his hand that still wanted to clap himself, and shook it vigorously. Since the end of the summer camp four years ago, Li Manman and several of him have kept in contact, but they have not seen each other again, but they have exchanged photos with each other, which is also one of the popular at this time.

"Who are you coming with? Why don't you come to us? Jiang Lizhou looked at Li Manman happily and asked.

"I came by myself, and I heard others say that Longhu Park is very fun, so I came to see it." Li Manman smiled and explained, "What about you? Did you come by yourself? ”

"No, I'm here with my brother." Jiang Li turned around and pointed to the handsome guy just now and said, "That's my brother." ”

"It's not my brother, is it?" Li Manman leaned over to Jiang Lizhou and whispered.

"How do you know? That's my cousin. Jiang Lizhou looked at Li Manman curiously.

"It's not easy to guess, people are so handsome, and your image!" Li Manman pointed at Jiang Lizhou and said jokingly.

"Cut, you look down on people, every fat person is a potential stock!" Jiang Lizhou retorted to Li Manman.

Li Man smiled and said nothing, it is true that Jiang Lizhou was a handsome guy later, but he couldn't see that he was handsome at this time.

"Xiaozhou, don't you want to introduce me?" Jiang Lizhou's cousin looked at his cousin with a smile, only cared about talking to the girl, and threw his brother aside.

"Brother, this is my friend Li Manman, I met at the summer camp four years ago," Jiang Lizhou pulled Li Manman in front of his cousin, and introduced Li Manman, "This is my cousin, Zhou Shengwen, who is studying in college in Pingjing." ”

"Hello." Li Manman smiled politely at Zhou Shengwen.

"Hello, long admiration of the daimyo!" Zhou Shengwen said to Li Manman with a smile.

"Since we are destined to meet, let's play together!" Zhou Shengwen invited.

Jiang Lizhou looked at Li Manman happily, Li Manman didn't squirm, nodded and agreed, but also said that he had to get home before four o'clock, so he could only play for a while, Jiang Lizhou felt very regretful, and the best choice according to the time was to go boating.
