"Where is the water tank at home?"

As soon as Gu Yu entered the yard with the bucket, he saw Song Yunping running out in a hurry.

It seemed that he remembered that he had left the bucket and Gu Yu alone.

"No, no, I'll take it. Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I was so happy just now.

I was thinking about telling my parents right away and forgot to greet you." Song Yunping said embarrassedly.

"Hello, Writer Gu, please put it down and we will take it."

Song Jishan also followed his daughter out and saw Gu Yu carrying two buckets of water and said quickly.

"Your house is nearby, I know this road.

I felt a little embarrassed to come to visit empty-handed.

Now carrying these two buckets, it seems much heavier.”

Gu Yu made a joke, and Song Yunping's nervousness was relieved a lot after hearing it, and a sweet smile appeared on her innocent face.

However, Gu Yu still listened to the advice and put down the bucket.

"What are you talking about? It's our honor that you agreed to come to our house for dinner.

Pingping, take the water in, and then go call Xiaohui back. We have a distinguished guest today, and we would like to personally thank him."

Song Yunping quickly nodded in agreement, carrying the bucket into the house, not forgetting to glance at Gu Yu again. She felt that it was a sunny day today and she was in a good mood.

"Master Song, I don't want you to address me as such. I am so young that I cannot bear to be addressed as such."

Gu Yu was dragged into the house by Song Jishan and looked around the Song family.

It is a typical "concave"-shaped, three-courtyard Hui-style building. Through the patio is the living room, and the side rooms are bedrooms.

Gu Yu was invited by Song Jishan to sit at the main table to have a rest. Song's mother also brought him tea and some melon seeds snacks at the right time, which were probably the most valuable things in the family.

The newly adjusted salary certainly cannot be reflected in daily life yet, and there should be few visitors to the Song family.

"Auntie, you don't have to bother. I just want to experience the daily three meals of the residents of Hongwei Town." Gu Yu politely stood up and took the teacup, saying with a smile.

"We didn't prepare anything at home. I hope you, Mr. Gu, will forgive me for helping Pingping and Xiaohui solve the college entrance examination problem.

You also spoke up for my Jishan and got him a higher salary. We are very grateful to you.” Mother Song’s expression was full of gratitude.

"Auntie, don't say that. I really don't deserve it. You and Master Song are our elders. If you continue to be so polite, I will leave." Gu Yu said jokingly.

Song Jishan and his wife quickly said okay, and stopped talking about you, and exchanged a few more pleasantries.

"Old lady, go prepare lunch. It's rare that Writer Gu comes to our house for dinner, so cook a few more delicious dishes!" Song Jishan instructed his wife in a firm tone.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Song's mother nodded and replied, then turned and went to the yard, apparently to kill a chicken.

"Master Song, don't be too busy. I'm the only customer, and I won't be able to finish all the food I prepare." Gu Yu sat back in his seat, looked at Song Jishan and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, don't worry. My brother and I will come back to help. It will be ready soon. Have some tea. This tea is made at home."

Song Jishan quickly changed his words, glanced at Gu Yu cautiously, and then continued speaking politely.

To him, Gu Yu was not only the benefactor of his family, but also a great man he needed to look up to, so he could not neglect him.

The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became. I didn't know what to say. The living room was silent for a while.

Song Jishan's hands clenched into fists involuntarily, and he rubbed them on his pants from time to time.

"Master Song should have heard that I came to Hongwei Town, Jinling County this time to help the local area attract foreign investment and set up factories.

After two days of investigation, I found that the local area actually has rich medicinal resources, and the soil temperature and other environments are suitable for the growth of Chinese herbal medicines.

Director Ma of the Herbal Medicine Station told me that you come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and have a deep understanding of Chinese herbal medicine.

So I would like to ask you, what kinds of medicinal herbs can be produced locally, and which ones are of the best quality. "

Seeing this, Gu Yu took the initiative to bring up the topic, giving Song Jishan room to speak.

"We have a lot of local medicinal materials, such as Gastrodia elata, edible fungi, wolfberry, jujube, human body, cooked rehmannia, angelica, and astragalus.

Radix Pseudostellariae, Platycodon grandiflorum, Radix Isatidis, Fructus Cnidium, Radix Scutellariae, Dioscorea opposita, Cassia torae, Rhizoma Cynomorii, Pinellia ternatae,

Fangfeng, rhubarb, adenophora australis, podophyllum, coltsfoot, gardenia, polygonatum, curcuma, polygonatum, aster, etc. can all be found around our Hongwei Town. "

"The best quality ones are Huoshan Dendrobium, Ganoderma Lucidum, White Peony Root, Polygonatum Sinensis, Poria, Papaya, Chrysanthemum, Cortex Moutan, Duanxueliu, and Platycodon.

These have been the most famous medicinal materials in Anhui Province since ancient times. During the feudal dynasties, tributes were selected from us..."

When talking about Chinese herbal medicine, Song Jishan was no longer nervous. He was very enthusiastic and spoke very clearly.

The atmosphere in the living room was no longer awkward, and laughter could be heard from time to time, which made Song's mother, who was preparing lunch in the kitchen, feel relieved.

She knew her husband best. She could get him to work steadily, but it was difficult for him to communicate with others. Fortunately, the writer Gu was a humble person.

Not long after, Song Yunping and Song Yunhui came back. After greeting Gu Yu, they went to the kitchen to help Mother Song.

Song's mother was in charge of the cooking and also prepared some side dishes. Song Yunhui was in charge of washing and peeling the vegetables, while Song Yunping was in charge of cutting and preparing the vegetables.

Soon, his younger brother Song Yunhui discovered that something was wrong with his sister today. No matter what she did, she always had a smile on her face.

Occasionally, he would look towards the front hall, feeling uneasy.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Did you pick up money?" Song Yunhui asked curiously.

"What are you talking about? Have you peeled the potatoes? Mom is going to put them in the pot."

In front of her brother, Song Yunping would not stutter or get nervous. She slapped him on the head, but not hard, very lightly.

"Sister, why did you hit me again? I'm done peeling. I'll go rinse it."

Song Yunhui took the potatoes, scooped a bucket of water from the jar, washed them,

Looking at her busy sister, her eyes rolled and she had the idea of ​​revenge, so she shook her hands, which were still wet, at her.

"Xiao Hui, what are you doing? Are you looking for a fight again?"

Song Yunping stretched out her hand to block it, threatened, and was about to take action.

However, Song Yunhui ran very quickly. After handing the potatoes to Song's mother, he ran to the front hall in a flash to add tea for Song Jishan and Gu Yu.

Song's mother on the side looked at this scene and shook her head with a smile. The brother and sister always fight like this, but they have a really good relationship.

Their family is a rare example in this era in that they do not favor boys over girls.

Even though the family was poor and even during the previous ten years of instability, the siblings were sent to school.

Moreover, from elementary school to junior high school and then to high school, the younger brother gave up the opportunity to go to school in favor of his older sister, but he also insisted on studying.

The harvest season is coming, and all the suffering will be over.

When Song's mother thought of this, a smile appeared on her face. Nothing could make parents feel happier and more at ease than their children being successful and having a future.
