"Alas, the land here has been reserved by a few wealthy locals in the county. We can only farm when they tell us to farm. People in the village don't have much money. Except for a few families who have bought land, almost everyone else has.
She belongs to Hu Yuan’s wife’s family in the village.”
"Hu Yuanwai?" An Shuyao asked in confusion.
Aunt Lin nodded: "You are not familiar with it when you first came here. After Hu Yuanwai's family became prosperous, the whole family moved to the county, so his old house is empty."
The ox cart soon arrived at the county. Aunt Lin went to sell the radishes grown at home, while An Shuyao went to Anhe Hall.
Doctor Sun was sitting inside. He didn't expect that the young lady who came yesterday would come again today.
An Shuyao put down the basket on his back. Inside was the prepared wild yam. Because the fried yam had lost some of its moisture, it was reduced from more than fifty kilograms to only about thirty kilograms.
The medicine boy took it and weighed it, which was exactly thirty kilograms. Doctor Sun checked the quality again and nodded: "Young lady has an excellent command of heat. She must be a doctor too?"
An Shuyao was a well-known miracle doctor in China before he came here. Countless people came to visit him. Later, he became tired of it and secluded himself. He began to plant medicinal materials and fruit trees in the mountains, cook delicious food, and create these easy ways to survive.
When Dr. Sun asked, An Shuyao shook his head: "I have only read a few medical books, know a few medicinal materials and know some preparation methods, so I can't be considered a doctor."
Dr. Sun understood that there were indeed some families who only believed in medicine but did not practice medicine.
"Here are one tael of silver plus five hundred coins. Take it, little lady."
An Shuyao walked out of the medicine hall, and a tael of silver dangled in her hand. It was still too little, but for now she could only take it step by step.
She went to the grocery store and bought two kilograms of sugar. The sugar here was somewhat different from the sugar in later generations. It was not only yellowish but also very large.
Then I wandered around for a while and discovered that the restaurant here is actually the best building in Taolin County.
There are two restaurants on one street, and one of them is bustling with business. People come and go, and there are countless people who come to deliver food and game.
There was another one whose business was relatively bleak, and An Shuyao left after taking one look at it.
I spent another four cents to buy two meat buns for Lu Jin, and then I went back to the county gate and waited for the vegetable sellers to come back.
The car set off soon. Everyone came back very early this time. An Shuyao thought she could make lunch earlier.
But as soon as she opened the door to her courtyard, she felt something was wrong. The door was actually open. She walked into the courtyard and heard the sound of someone talking inside.
It's still a woman's voice.
The door was not closed, Lu Jin was sitting on a chair with a cold face, and there was a girl in rose-red clothes on one side, who seemed to be pouring water for Lu Jin.
It's just that this person... isn't he the person I met when I went down the mountain yesterday? Why did she come to her house?
An Shuyao's sudden appearance made the two people inside look over. Lu Jin saw her coming back, and his tense body relaxed. His slender phoenix eyes looked at An Shuyao, and his tone was gentle: "Madam, you
Back."
An Shuyao's face was shocked!
Was she hallucinating? She actually heard Lu Jin calling him "wife"?
Seeing that she didn't move, Lu Jin's face turned cold: "Madam!"
These two words seemed to spill out from between my teeth, full of dissatisfaction.
"Aha? What's wrong with my husband?"
Seeing someone responded to him, Lu Jin calmed down and said, "We have a guest at home." As he said that, he looked at the basket on the table and said, "She brought some sweet potatoes."
An Shuyao understood. Lu Jin asked her to entertain guests?
The woman in rose-red clothes tightened her hands hanging by her side, and then smiled and said: "Hello, Sister An, my name is Shi Huanhuan, and I am also from Rock Village. My home is not far from you. I am here to give you a gift."
Order sweet potatoes.”
It turned out that she was the daughter of Aunt Shi's family. An Shuyao was just puzzled that yesterday this girl was cold and rude to her, but now she was kind and cheerful.
But not reaching out to hit the smiling person, An Shuyao smiled politely at her, and then said: "This humble house is simple and there is nothing to entertain. Let me pour you a cup of hot water."
So she filled a pot with ordinary water and put it on the stove to boil. She used the stove to heat Lu Jin's medicine, and when she walked out, Shi Huanhuan immediately lowered his head.
An Shuyao took out the meat buns and brought them to Lu Jin like a treasure: "Ms. sir, I have the buns in my arms and they are still warm."
Lu Jin smiled at her. It was the first time An Shuyao had seen him smile at her in a long time. When he smiled, he was like the bright moon, so dazzling.
He took it and said: "Thank you for your work, madam."
An Shuyao waved her hands flattered: "It's okay, it should be."
The two of them were talking to each other, and they were so affectionate that it hurt the eyes. Anyway, Shi Huanhuan didn't know why she felt it was an eyesore. They were just two buns, and they weren't a rare thing. If it were her, she would definitely give them to her.
Brother Lu buys better ones.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't come back to her senses until she placed a cup of hot water with white smoke in front of her.
She didn't drink the glass of water, so she stood up and left: "Sister An, Brother Lu, I'll go back if there's nothing else."
An Shuyao stopped her and stuffed her with a piece of yam before letting her go. The yam was a return gift to her family.
It wasn't until Shi Huanhuan disappeared that An Shuyao looked away and muttered: "It's strange, this girl Shi had a cold face when she saw me yesterday, but she changed today."
Lu Jin raised his head and glanced at her, then said quietly: "Have less contact with her."
An Shuyao looked back at him curiously: "Why?"
Lu Jin glanced at her coldly. He had seen many women like Shi Huanhuan, especially when he was in Shengjing. He was extremely handsome and was recognized as the number one young master in Shengjing. He made many women in his boudoir secretly fall in love with him. They
Most of them were like Shi Huanhuan. Although she tried her best to hide it, Lu Jin still felt disgusted.
But there is an exception around him, and that is An Shuyao.
No matter how good-looking he is, he can't seduce her, but she recently changed her gender, and probably found that he looked better than Lu Xian, so he thought she would stay blind forever.
Lu Jin thought indifferently. He had eaten all the buns in his hand. He used to disdain something like this, but now it tastes different. Of course, the most important thing is that An Shuyao bought it.
.
Although it doesn't taste very good, she spent money on it.
An Shuyao heated up the medicine for Lu Jin, then heated the rice on the stove, and went out carrying the hoe.
There was a piece of land in the back yard that was covered with weeds and the soil was very dry. An Shuyao used a hoe to hoe all the weeds and then turned over the mud.
Halfway through the turning, she would go to the house to fetch the spiritual spring water that had been prepared in advance to nourish the soil.
Just as he turned around, he bumped into Lu Jin. He reached out and took the hoe from An Shuyao's hand: "I'll do it."
