Staring at Lihua, the three of them finished eating the canned food, each of them shared a few pieces of peach cake, a handful of dried mango, and locked the other things back in the cabinet.
They are used to Bai Su making the decision at home, so Lihua and the others don't have any objections.
Lulanhua also accepts well!
But when she went to work, she put a piece of peach cake and a few dried mangoes in her pocket.
Bai Su pulled He Hua: "Keep an eye on your sister for me and see who she will give the peach cakes and dried mangoes to."
It’s not that Bai Su is asking for help!
In this era, peach cakes and dried mangoes are rare things.
It was okay for Lu Lanhua to give it to the little sisters, but if it was used to please the scorekeeper Zhou Yan in order to work with the educated youths, the nature would have changed, and Bai Su would feel awkward.
It is better to give it little by little and watch these things go into the bellies of the daughters.
She is not a stingy person, and Bai Su is very willing to give up to those who help her.
He Yan bought them, and Qin Yanyue also brought a lot of peach cakes and biscuits. Bai Su went to work at the health center and packed some for Zhou Zhiqing, and also stuffed a handful of dried mangoes.
Zhou Zhiqing got up very early today, and someone came to see him early in the morning.
Bai Su walked to the door of the health center and heard Zhou Zhiqing's slightly mocking voice coming from inside: "Sun Mingyuan, thank you for coming early. If you were a step later, the wound would have healed."
"Okay, I've finished applying the medicated oil on you, let's go!"
"Zhou Changqing, where did I offend you? We used to have a good relationship at the educated youth spot."
Bai Su carried the things into the house and saw a fair-looking young man complaining to Zhou Zhiqing. There was a small blood mark on his hand where the tiger's mouth was.
Seeing Bai Su come in, he stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Good morning, Aunt Bai!"
Bai Su recognized it. Isn't this the educated youth Sun Mingyuan?
Talking and laughing with orchids.
This person has never met her before, right?
What are you doing with such enthusiasm?
Bai Su nodded at him and gave Zhou Changqing what he was carrying.
"I gave it to you to cushion your stomach when you're hungry."
Zhou Changqing opened the oil paper and saw that it was peach cake and dried mango, and he was embarrassed to accept it.
"Auntie, how can I ask for your things?"
Forget about peach cakes, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them if you have tickets.
Dried mango is such a rare thing that the supply and marketing cooperative cannot sell it.
Zhou Zhiqing wrapped it in oil paper and stuffed it back into Bai Su's hand: "I'm a grown man and don't like to eat these things. Auntie, take it home and keep it to eat slowly."
Zhou Zhiqing opened the oil paper bag, and Sun Mingyuan's eyes widened.
Different from Zhou Zhiqing's reaction, he swallowed hard when he saw the peach cakes and dried mangoes wrapped in oil paper.
"How can you give something back to someone? It doesn't give Aunt Bai face."
Sun Mingyuan stared at the oil paper bag that Zhou Zhiqing handed back to Bai Su, and suddenly said: "I came to the clinic early in the morning and didn't bother to have breakfast. I have to go to work soon."
Did you hear that right?
Bai Su was shocked by Sun Mingyuan's greedy look!
"Just take it for you, why are you being polite to my aunt?"
Bai Su took the oil paper bag, opened the drawer and stuffed it inside, and then said to Sun Mingyuan: "Is there anything else after Sun Zhiqing took the medicine? You still have time to go back for breakfast. After you finish, go to work as soon as possible."
Sun Mingyuan was stunned and left with an embarrassed look on his face.
Zhou Zhiqing laughed out loud: "Auntie, you are really good at it. He has always been popular with the girls from the recruiting team and the educated youth group. This is the first time I have seen him look so disgraced."
"You also said that he is trying to attract girls, but I am not a little girl."
Bai Su asked him: "Have you ever had any trouble with this Sun Mingyuan?"
"That's not true. I just don't like him. He's tall, he has a small cut on his hand and he still comes to the health center to see a doctor. Also, he's close to every girl in the team and from the educated youth spot.
How many little girls rushed to help him with his work and even gave him food."
"I know Aunt Bai that you work at the brigade health center. He came here early in the morning to find out who drove the car to your house yesterday?"
"It's not good to gossip about people behind their backs. In short, he's not a bad person for the first time, but after getting along for a long time, it becomes very awkward."
"Let's not talk about him. In about ten days, I am going to the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University. Before that, my aunt has to take an exam at the county hospital."
Zhou Changqing asked her: "Auntie, when is the right time to go, I will report this matter."
In fact, to be a health worker in this brigade, you have to go to the county town to study for half a month.
Because Bai Su knew everything, and could get started with the work at the health center without Zhou Zhiqing's guidance, there was no need for this study, and he could just take the exam when the time came.
Only after Bai Su passed the exam and succeeded Zhou Changqing could he leave the brigade and go to the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University.
So he was a little nervous.
Bai Su also thought that Zhou Changqing's heart would be fulfilled if she finished the exam earlier.
"Then go to the county town for the exam next Monday, and you can register for it."
Lihua and her uncle sent so many things, and Bai Su also wanted to get some wild goods to mail to the island troops.
After her original man disappeared, her brother had been subsidizing their orphans and widowed mother. Aunt Lihua never said anything. Bai Su felt that life should not be taken for granted.
No matter whether the thing is good or not, sending it is still considered as a token of appreciation.
Bai Su discussed with Zhou Zhiqing: "While going to the county town, I want to get some dry goods to send to Lihua and her uncle. The spring planting is also finished. Tomorrow I will take Lihua and the others to the mountains to collect herbs."
He can just keep an eye on the health center. With Aunt Bai's abilities, there won't be anything wrong with her going to the county seat for the exam.
He sorted out the content for the county hospital exam for his aunt.
Zhou Zhiqing has no objection: "Okay, Auntie, just go ahead..."
The only mountain products in this season are bamboo shoots all over the mountains and plains, as well as wild cypress flowers, tea tree mushrooms and fir fungi.
The flower has the functions of purging fire and removing troubles, clearing away heat and dampness, cooling blood and detoxifying.
The southern islands are very humid, so I picked some cypress flowers, dried them, and sent them over to make water for her nephew to drink.
It just happened that it had rained in the past few days and the weather had warmed up again, which was suitable for mushroom growth. Bai Su took Lihua and the others into the bamboo forest on the back slope to pull bamboo shoots, and found a few tea tree mushrooms under the camellia oleifera tree nearby.
If there are tea tree mushrooms, there must also be fir fungi.
Bai Su simply divided the work!
Let Lihua and Lanhua go pull bamboo shoots and look for tea tree mushrooms and fir fungi, while she took Lotus to pick gardenias and collect herbs.
He Yan also received the canned food and longan sent by Uncle Lihua. Knowing that Bai Su not only went into the mountains to collect medicine for his mother, but also found dry goods and herbs to send to the island troops, he took Li Xiangyang up the mountain.
The two of them placed animal traps in the mountains and dug a lot of traps. They had to see what they got.
In spring, everything grows hair, and it is also the time when animals come out to be active after hibernation. Next week, He Yan will accompany her Aunt Bai to the county seat for the exam, and He Yan also wants to get a big guy to resell on the black market.
The mountain on the back slope is relatively safe and there won't be any big prey.
Before He Yan went deep into the mountains, he warned: "Auntie, don't go deep. Just wander around the mountain valley outside. I'll pick up any good things for you."
"Xiang Yang and I are going deeper. If anything happens, just shout and we will come back."
