Li Chu went directly to the kitchen. There were still steamed buns at home, so he would make some porridge for dinner, stir-fry whatever he wanted, and just have some pickles.
When he finished cooking the meal and brought it to the living room, the girl realized that it was time to eat, put down the book and ran to wash her hands.
While eating, Ding Qiunan complained to Li Chu that there was too much to carry.
Li Chu smiled and said to her: "Qiu Nan, you should remember the ones with solid asterisks in the previous catalog first. Those medicines are common medicines in hospitals. Those with empty asterisks need to be understood. The rest will be discussed later.
"
After taking a bite of the food, Li Chu continued: "Starting from tomorrow, I will buy some medicines available in the market outside and in the hospital, and put them in the medicine bucket in the study. Then you can read the book and compare them with the medicines.
Keep studying so that you can remember faster."
The girl was eating a steamed bun in her mouth, and said with a heavy mouth: "There are so many kinds of medicine, it doesn't cost a lot of money."
"No, I don't want to buy more. Just buy a little of each. It doesn't cost much. I'll make a label and stick it on the medicine bucket, so that you can tell which medicine is in which medicine bucket.
When you see the name of a medicine, you should immediately react to its properties and functions."
The girl stuck out her tongue after hearing this, but she didn't say anything about not learning anymore. Since she had already decided, she must study seriously.
After dinner, Ding Qiunan took the initiative to wash the dishes and chopsticks. After cleaning up, Li Chu did not let her continue reading, but took her and took Xiao Hei out for a walk again.
Their house is the second one at the west entrance of the alley. After exiting the alley, you can walk two steps to the front house on the roadside. There are many people sitting under the street lights on the roadside, all residents of the alley.
Everyone also knew that this young couple had just moved here, and they greeted Li Chu and Ding Qiunan warmly.
After chatting with the neighbors in the alley for a while, the two of them led Xiao Hei around.
This alley is close to the department store, and many people living there work in the department store.
"Li Chu, who lives to the west of us? I found that the courtyard door is always locked."
"I asked my sister, and she said that the family is in the south now. It seems that the son is working in the south, and the old couple went to look for him."
The first house on the west side of the alley is a courtyard with two entrances and a garden behind it. It is the family's ancestral property. It is much larger than Li Chu's yard. Li Chu looked at it from the wall and his mouth watered.
The yard next door to his house to the east is as big as his, and there is also a family living there. The couple were returned overseas students in the early years, and are now professors at a well-known university. The eldest daughter just entered normal university this year, and the younger daughter just entered junior high school.
.
Li Chu shook his head when he thought of the couple's identities and professions. He didn't know if they could survive the big times.
After walking around for a while, the two of them walked back. As soon as they entered the alley, Xiao Hei barked in front of them.
Li Chu looked forward and vaguely saw a person sitting on the steps of the courtyard door to the east of his house through the moonlight.
The man was obviously frightened by Xiao Hei's cry. He stood up and was ready to run away at any moment.
After calling Xiao Hei to stop barking, Li Chu saw clearly when he walked to the door of his house. There was a girl standing over there. She looked about ten years old and was about the same age as Wang Jiadong.
It must be the little daughter next door, Li Chu murmured to himself.
Ding Qiunan also noticed the girl. She took a few steps forward and said, "Don't be afraid. Xiaohei doesn't bite. Why are you sitting here?"
Li Chu opened the courtyard door directly and turned on the light on the door.
With the bright light and knowing that she was the neighbor next door, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the beautiful big sister in front of her, the girl pointed to the yard behind her and said: "Hello big sister, my home is right here.
I just went out to play without my keys. When I came back, my parents didn’t know where they were. I couldn’t enter the house, so I sat at the door waiting for them.”
Ding Qiunan looked at the pretty little girl in front of him and smiled: "Hello, my name is Ding Qiunan. I live next door to your house. You can call me Sister Qiunan."
"Hello, Sister Qiunan, my name is Ran Ziye, you can call me Ye Ziye."
Li Chu stood aside and said nothing. Now that he heard this little girl's name, he felt that it sounded very familiar. He thought about it for a long time but had no clue.
"Zi Zi, come to our house and wait for your parents. It's too dark outside." Ding Qiunan invited Ran Ziye.
The little girl was a little hesitant. Although she was a neighbor, it was her first time meeting her, but it was really dark outside. She was a little scared sitting alone on the steps just now.
"Let's go, our door is open like this, your parents will see you when they come back soon." Ding Qiunan walked over, took Ran Ziye's hand, and walked into his yard.
Seeing them both go in, Li Chu turned off the light on the outside door and followed him into the house.
Ran Ziye entered the yard and looked around curiously. Her family knew when the yard next door was being cleaned up, but they had never seen this neighbor before. Today was her first time entering the yard.
The size of the yard is the same as theirs, but it looks much cleaner and tidier than theirs. There are trees in the yard and a swing.
After following Ding Qiunan into the living room and sitting on the sofa, Ran Ziye saw the book Ding Qiunan was reading.
"It's so thick," she secretly smacked her lips. Her parents also had many books, but none of them were so thick.
Seeing the male host bringing her a glass of water, Ran Ziye hurriedly stood up and took it: "Thank you, brother."
"Zi Zi, his name is Li Chu, you can just call him Brother Xiao Chu from now on." Ding Qiunan introduced Ran Ziye.
Ran Ziye smiled sweetly at Li Chu and called, "Brother Chu."
Li Chu smiled and nodded, pointing to the coffee table: "There is sugar on the coffee table. You can eat the leaves."
Then he said to Ding Qiunan: "Qiunan, you two sit here while I prepare Xiaohei's nest in the yard."
After saying that, Li Chu went to the yard and put the cotton mats in the box where Xiao Hei lived there into this new nest.
I pulled Xiao Hei and told him about his new home. Xiao Hei stood outside the new nest and smelled it for a while. He smelled the familiar smell on the mats inside, and then got in.
Li Chu filled the basin with water and put it outside. When it gets cold in a while, he would still have to let Xiao Hei live in the living room.
Seeing Xiao Hei familiar with its new home, Li Chu clapped his hands and stood up, went to the kitchen and sealed the stove.
As soon as I came out of the kitchen, I heard a voice calling Ran Ziye from the alley outside.
Li Chu looked back at the living room. The two people were chatting animatedly. He didn't hear any shouts from outside, so he walked directly to the door and turned on the light at the door.
The bright lights attracted the attention of the two people outside.
Li Chu stood at the door and looked at the middle-aged couple, who should be Ran Ziye's parents.
The man looks about fifty years old, with black-framed eyes, and is elegant. The woman must be in her early forties at most, dignified and beautiful.
Li Chu looked at the two people who were looking over and said, "Hello, are you calling Ran Ziye?"
"Yes, yes, do you know where she is?" Upon hearing their daughter's name, the two of them looked obviously excited, and the man asked hurriedly.
"You must be Ran Ziye's parents, right? My name is Li Chu, and I am your neighbor. I just moved here today. When my wife and I came back just now, we saw her sitting alone on the steps in front of your house. My wife
Invite her to my home to wait for you, she is at my home now, you can come in."
"Oh, Comrade Li, thank you so much. My name is Ran Xiuchen, and this is my wife Zhang Dongmei. We didn't see the child after we came back, and we were almost dying of anxiety. It's too late and we won't go in. You can just call her out."
Seeing that they didn't want to go in, Li Chu didn't force them and asked them to wait before going in.
Soon Ran Ziye ran out, followed by Li Chu and Ding Qiunan.
Ran Ziye ran out and hugged her mother's arm tightly, talking loudly.
"Mom, I forgot to pick up the key when I went out. When I came back, I couldn't get in without anyone at home. Where have you been? I was sitting alone at the door. It was so dark that it scared me to death. Fortunately, Sister Qiu Nan and Brother Xiao Chu let me in.
