Chapter 9: The smile I want to protect
Looking for good medicinal materials, Song Xingchen quickly went out to find someone, and sold the medicinal materials before the eldest brother came back, so that the eldest brother could buy some rice and grain to go back.
As for where Song Yang got the money to buy things for her, Song Xingchen really didn't think about it, thinking that no matter how poor the family was, there should always be some money to cross the river.
"Doctor, take a look, how much silver can be sold for such medicinal materials?" Song Xingchen chased to the front yard and took out a few herbs, which were dried in the space before, and they were really impossible to take fresh.
Shen Yi took it and took a look at the herbs, although they were not a precious variety, they were the most commonly used in this town, especially the vintage and quality of the medicinal herbs were excellent.
"It's too little, give fifty wen." Shen Yi didn't just say that he gave the price after a glance, and gave an extra integer of a few cents.
"I still have some such medicinal herbs at home, but after I got sick, I don't know if my family has taken good care of them. But it doesn't matter, there are still ones on the mountain, if you buy them, I can still go into the mountains to collect medicines, and sell them to you when the time comes, okay? Song Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he finally found a job to support his family.
"My pharmacy is small, and I can't eat too many medicinal herbs, if you can find more varieties, each of which guarantees quality, and the number is not much, I can accept it." As soon as Shen finished speaking, he saw a look of disappointment in Song Xingchen's eyes, so he said in a ghostly manner: "If you are looking for a large number of medicinal materials, I can also help you contact the medicinal material dealer, but the price is much cheaper." ”
"Really? Thank you so much. Song Xingchen laughed happily, and said with crooked eyebrows: "By the way, can I learn some simple pharmacology from you?" If it's inconvenient, you can teach me how to identify some herbs, otherwise I will treat herbs as weeds when I go to the mountains, which is really a waste. Don't worry, I don't want the wages of an apprentice. ”
Shen Yi slid three black lines across his forehead, he didn't forget about the apprenticeship, how did he become the one who took advantage?
However, seeing Song Xingchen's incomparably bright eyes, he couldn't say anything to refuse.
"In the past two days, you can learn from me when you have time." As soon as Shen finished saying this, he instructed the guy who was counting the Chinese medicine on the side: "You teach her some herbs, and she will sell the medicine in the future...... Let her find me. ”
Shen instinctively wanted to have more contact with Song Xingchen, turned to look at Song Xingchen with a smile on his face, raised his eyebrows and said: "You are still a patient, you have to rest in bed more, you can only study for one hour a day at most, and if you want to come over to learn pharmacology in the future, you can come over at any time." ”
After finishing speaking, he ignored Song Xingchen and went straight to the back hall, no one knew what he was thinking, but the back made people look at it, and he was inexplicably a little sad.
The guy at the counter looked in disbelief at the direction where Shen Yi had disappeared.
They have few owners, and they have always cherished words like gold, but today's words are more than half a month in the past, so shouldn't they stop talking for most of the next half a month?
The important thing is that the young owner has always been troublesome, even if they will let the patient go to the back hall for treatment, they will let people leave on the same day, and it is really strange to let this poor girl live for two days today.
As for the waiver of medicine and consultation fees, the guy doesn't think it's strange, I've seen a lot of such things, and I am naturally used to it.
Moreover, although I don't know the origin of the Shaodong family, a teenager from the Shaodong family opened a medical clinic in this small town, but no one dared to come to find fault, which shows that the background cloth is small.
The most important thing is that most of the poor people who see a doctor and grab medicine always only charge the cost or free consultation, but there is never a shortage of money in the hands of the owner, and they don't even need to pay for the medicinal materials, as long as they sign.
Song Xingchen didn't know the activities in the young man's heart, otherwise he would only be vigilant, a rich second generation who appeared in the town inexplicably was not something she could befriend.
"Little sister, why did you come out?" As soon as Song Yang entered the medical hall, he saw Song Xingchen standing there, looking up at the medicine cabinet, and asked worriedly, "Did Dr. Shen let you go home?" Are you waiting for Big Brother? ”
"It's not." Song Xingchen shook his head with a smile, and stuffed the fifty yuan that had just arrived in his hand to Song Yang, "Big brother, you take these copper plates and go buy some coarse grains for the family, and then look at buying some salt and oil, it seems that there is nothing at home." ”
"Where did you get the copper coin?" Song Yang's eyes widened, although he was asking about the origin of the copper coin, he did not suspect the source.
Song Xingchen's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "This is given to me by Dr. Shen, he said that my head is good, teach me to know some herbs in the past two days, and when I go home, I can pick medicine and sell it to him, so that he can also save some money, and our family can also have some income, even if this copper coin is a reward for me." ”
"No, you live here, how can you still accept Dr. Song's silver, and send it back quickly." Song Yang immediately retorted.
"Big brother!" Song Xingchen stomped his feet angrily, puffed out his little face and said, "I can't eat at home, and my eldest brother still has to think about these things." If the eldest brother feels that he owes Dr. Shen, when I go home, we will pick more herbs and sell them to Dr. Shen cheaper, are you afraid that you will not be able to repay this favor? Or do you think that our family is the kind of person who owes favors and doesn't pay it back? ”
"That's not what Big Brother meant......" Song Yang wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
Afraid that Song Yang would really go to Shen Yi, Song Xingchen hurriedly pushed him out, and said in his mouth: "Big brother, don't talk about this, you go home immediately, just follow this herb to find it, find as much as you can, and when you pick me up two days later, bring it with you." Remember, the herbs should not be exposed to the sun, but should be kept in a cool and ventilated place. ”
When he came to the door, Song Xingchen handed over a herb that he had hidden in his sleeve early to Song Yang, waved at him vigorously, and then jumped to the back hall.
Song Yang held the medicinal herbs in his hand as if they were weighing a thousand catties.
This is not only a favor, but also the hope of a family's survival.
Taking a deep breath and stuffing the herbs into his arms, Song Yang put the things he bought for Song Xingchen and the thank you gift for Shen Yi on the counter, said a word to his buddy, and left quickly.
If you go home early, maybe you can pick some herbs, but as for the things that Song Xingchen confessed to buy, Song Yang forgot them all.
Let's say that Song Lu took his three children to take the first step, and met Song Sanshan who woke up on the way.
"Daughter-in-law, I don't get along, and I can't let you and the babies be alone, that's going to make people poke their backbones." When Song Sanshan met, he opened his mouth like this, "I was wrong before, let's go home now, I will go to the third master and the village chief, and go to the old mansion to ask for an explanation, if they refuse to give us justice, I will ask for expulsion." Even if I am scolded for a lifetime, I can't watch your mother suffer. ”
Song Lu's eyes turned red instantly, she had been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally waited for this day, but she couldn't say a word, but the relaxed look at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showed her thoughts.
A few small ones on the side laughed loudly, and they finally didn't have to be afraid of being bullied by the people in the old mansion anymore.
A family of five walked briskly towards the village, all eager to finish the work quickly, even if they were all hungry, they didn't feel weak.
