"Nan Yi, Nan Yi." When she was frightened, a voice came from the front.
Very familiar, this is Gu's voice.
She came to pick her up.
To Lin Nanyi, this was like the sound of nature.
"Auntie, I'm here." She hurriedly waved to the dark night, not knowing whether Gu could see her or not.
Mrs. Gu searched for the voice and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw clearly that it was Lin Nan through the light of the moon.
"You girl, why did you go so long? You scared me to death."
While laughing and scolding, he took the backpack from her back.
So heavy.
"Did that thing sell?"
Gu lowered her voice unconsciously, but there was actually no one around.
"We sold it, negotiated a deal, and bought some more things, all in the basket."
Along the way, the two of them talked and walked, recounting what happened in the town.
Mrs. Gu's eyes rolled up with laughter, and she kept saying, "I knew you were a lucky star. Fortunately, there are people who don't know what is good or bad, otherwise it would be my family's turn."
Mrs. Gu was very happy. Now she no longer had to worry about Wen Zhi's medicine.
The two of them talked and laughed, and the road in the dark became not difficult to walk.
Everyone in the village went to bed early to save candles. When they arrived in the village, except for the Yan family, no one had light.
The two of them walked home quickly, and on the table was a meal prepared by Mrs. Gu that had already become cold.
Yan Wenzhi was lying down with his eyes closed and concentrating. When he heard the movement, he sat up and saw two people coming in, talking and laughing.
The moment Lin Nan's eyes met his, she felt the unkindness in his eyes. He was blaming her.
I blame her for coming back so late and asking Gu to pick her up halfway.
She felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she also knew that he was a patient. The biggest patient in the world, he was like this because he was too lonely.
As if he was paralyzed, a few seconds later, he repeated what he had done today with a smile. This time, of course, he told Yan Wenzhi.
As he spoke, he took away the cloth covering the backpack, and on top was the travel diary he bought for him.
"These are the travel notes I bought for you. You are not in good health and can't go out. It will be very boring to stay in this small house every day. You can read these in your spare time, but I can't read, so I don't know how to read them.
What are they talking about? I only bought the ones with a lot of pictures."
"This is the medicine I got for you. The medicine for the next three days is here. Please take the medicine carefully. It's really far to go to town, and my feet hurt to death."
"This is some white flour I bought. Your health is not good to begin with. If you eat these whole grains for a long time, it will be even worse. From now on, you can mix it with white flour and eat it. It will definitely taste good."
…
The couple listened as Lin Nan took out the items one by one from the backpack and explained the reasons and uses for each item.
The tears in Mrs. Gu's eyes could no longer be held back, and they fell down like beads.
Nan Yi is really the lucky star of the Yan family. She has only been here for a few days. Not only has Wen Zhi's health improved significantly, but he can even eat white flour.
God, God, the joke that has been played on our Yan family for so long is finally over.
The Yan family is finally getting better.
Yan Wenzhi looked at the travel notes and medicine on the table, and the emotion in his eyes was incomprehensible.
I took the travelogue and read it casually. It tells the story of a poet's travels, which is equivalent to an autobiography.
Fortunately, life at home was not difficult when my father was still alive. He went to private school for several years, so he understood.
It can be seen that Lin Nanyi chose these carefully.
After taking out the things she bought, she felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing, and the other two were not in a good mood.
He quickly joked, "We are open today. We will make money every day from now on, and our life will get better and better. Believe me, here, to celebrate the deal, I even bought white flour steamed buns."
He forced the steamed buns into their hands and took a bite. He was instantly intoxicated. This is what normal food should taste like.
The ones I ate before almost gave me calluses on my throat.
Mrs. Gu wiped away her tears and took a big bite of the steamed bun. It had been a long time since she had eaten something so delicious.
How long has it been? I haven't eaten since my husband left and never came back.
Yan Wen didn't say a word, not knowing what she was thinking. She ate the steamed buns in small bites and kept staring at the travel notes and medicine she bought.
Lin Nan had been tired all day, so he hurriedly went to bed after eating. Tomorrow he had to go up the mountain to find chicken conongs to deliver to Banshan Restaurant.
With my mind settled and my body exhausted, I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow.
Hearing her long breathing, Gu secretly closed the door and went to Yan Wenzhi's room.
"Son, you are blaming me."
Yan Wenzhi did not reply.
Mrs. Gu sighed, "Mom, there is nothing we can do. When I passed by the door of Lin's house that day, there were constant beatings and scoldings coming from inside, but Nan Yi didn't say a word and just stood there like this. I felt really sad, and
In order to celebrate your happiness, I bought Nan Yi back."
"Originally, this was just a dead horse, but who knew it was really effective? You haven't taken any medicine in the past few days since you woke up, but your body is gradually getting better. This shows that Nan Yi is really the lucky star of our family.
.Today, Nanyi has negotiated a deal again, and our days will be better and better in the future."
"She is not from the Yan family after all."
They are just pretending to be a happy couple, but in fact they have no relationship.
"She has already married, and she belongs to the Yan family. If we don't want her anymore, she will really have no place to go, and she will have no home."
Yan Wenzhi suddenly thought of the situation when Ms. Liu came to her door during the day. She had already beaten Ms. Liu violently. The Lin family would definitely not be able to go back. She really only had them.
Seeing Yan Wenzhi's indifferent expression, Mrs. Gu was a little angry, "Anyway, it's not Nan Yi who needs us now, and our Yan family needs her. I won't send her away."
After that, regardless of Yan Wenzhi's reaction, he stood up and went out.
Yan Wenzhi twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly. He really hated Lin Nanyi before, but after getting along with him day and night in the past few days, he found that Lin Nanyi was not what he imagined.
Although I grew up in the Lin family, I didn't learn anything about the Lin family's style. On the contrary, I was very open-minded and upright in whatever I did. I was not afraid of being criticized. This can be seen from today's falling out with the Liu family.
Looking at the book on the table, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. When did he stop hating her.
…
I picked up a travel journal and read each page carefully. I fell into it unknowingly. Time passed quickly, and the lights in Yan Wenzhi's room were turned off at midnight.
The second day.
It was dawn, and the sound of Mr. Gu getting up to feed chickens and pigs woke up Lin Nanyi. He glanced at the time by the window and then got out of bed.
The chicken berries in the morning are the freshest, plump and as bright as jade.
"Hey, I've disturbed you. You slept late last night, so go get some sleep." Seeing her coming out, Mrs. Gu subconsciously relaxed her hands and feet.
Lin Nan casually washed his face, picked up his backpack and walked out, "I won't go to sleep anymore. The chicken berries are the freshest at this time. Find them quickly and deliver them to the restaurant."
Mrs. Gu woke up very early, just waiting to go find Jicong with her. There was no reason for an adult to rest at home and let a child work.
Quickly putting down what they were doing, the two of them walked towards the mountain.
Along the way, we also met some people who were going out to work. After greeting each other, the two of them went straight to the mountain without stopping.
When we arrived at the place where Jicong was found yesterday, the morning glow gradually appeared on the horizon.
After telling Mr. Gu about the hidden location and characteristics of chicken fir trees as well as the picking techniques, the two of them split up, one heading north and the other facing south, and agreed to meet here after an hour.
The further you go, the greater the humidity, the more rotten the leaves on the ground are, and the greater the possibility of chicken fir trees.
really.
It didn't take long for Lin Nan to find several clusters of chicken fir trees. Each cluster contained more than a dozen flowers, and they were quite large. After a while, the backpack was half full.
Guessing that time was almost up, we walked back and gathered at the base area.
The two of them came back together and gained a lot. They hurried home without making any further stops.
Yan Wenzhi read an entire travel journal last night and went to bed in the middle of the night, so he was not awake yet.
Mrs. Gu baked some pancakes with white flour for breakfast for the two of them. She didn't have time, so she took them on the road to eat.
Yesterday, Lin Nanyi took the official road to Banshan Town, which was quite a long way. Today, Mrs. Gu specially took her to take a small road. Although it was quite bumpy, the distance was reduced by nearly half.
The two of them had company together, chatting and laughing, and arrived in the town without feeling tired.
At Banshan Restaurant, the shopkeeper had been looking at the door for a long time. Finally he saw Lin Nanyi's figure and hurriedly welcomed him in with a smile.
This morning, Mrs. Gu and Lin Nanyi picked twelve kilograms of chicken fir trees together and received six taels of silver.
After removing the 500 cash deposit given yesterday, Mrs. Gu was holding five and a half taels of silver in her hands and was so excited that she could not speak.
She had never seen so much money, five and a half taels of silver, and she earned it back in one morning.
As soon as Lin Nan pulled her out of the restaurant, she didn't even react.
Seeing her like this, Lin Nan felt a little distressed but also a little amused. He leaned over and whispered, "If you don't put the money away, you may be robbed by others."
Frightened, Mrs. Gu quickly put the money into the pocket of her coat.
Looking at Lin Nanyi with tears in her eyes, she is really a lucky star, a lucky star.
Since she came to the Yan family, the Yan family's life has become better and better. Not only does Wen Zhi's medicine not stop, she even eats white flour, and now she can earn money.
God opened his eyes at noon.
None of them had anything suitable to wear. Lin Nanyi suggested buying some ready-made clothes, and Gu was naturally willing. Nanyi earned the money, so she naturally listened to him how she wanted to spend it.
I bought two sets of ready-made clothes for each person, and I also pulled out a lot of fabrics and went back to make them myself.
She passed by the bookstore yesterday and bought Yan Wenzhi pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Although the quality was not high quality, it was the best she could afford now.
After buying everything they needed, the two of them went back via the path they came from in the morning. This chapter has been completed!
