The lively Shangguan Lan left Xiangxue Village, and Zhou Xiaoxi's home was no longer as lively as before.

At first everyone was a little uncomfortable, but as many things in the village were carried out in full swing, everyone was busy and soon returned to normal life.

One day, Zhou Xiaoxi followed the villagers to the mountain to sow honeysuckle seeds and accidentally discovered rose branches. In addition, there are also wild roses growing in many places.

In her previous life, the most common flower she planted was roses, and she felt particularly close to them when she saw them.

Zhang Daniu, who was following beside him, noticed that Zhou Xiaoxi suddenly stopped and looked at him carefully before asking:

"Xiaoxi, why are you staring at this red thorn? This wild flower looks okay when it blooms, but the branches are full of thorns. If you are not careful, you will prick your hand."

"Big girl, I want to dig a few and plant them back home. Do you have a shovel?"

Although she didn't understand why the wild flowers and streams that could be seen everywhere on the mountain should be moved back home, she still obediently took out a shovel from her backpack, squatted down and started working.

As he started, he said:

"Xiaoxi, just stand there and watch. I'll do the digging. There are thorns all over here, so make sure you don't get pricked."

Ever since Zhang Da Nv was bought home by Zhou Xiaoxi, although she did not change the name, she had already recognized Zhou Xiaoxi as her master in her heart.

She and her mother took care of almost all the work in Zhao's family. In order to make the meals delicious, Da Niu's mother now helped Zhao every day.

The purpose is to take over the work in the kitchen in the future. How can the master cook while the servants wait for the food?

In terms of ability, Zhou Xiaoxi could not compare with Zhang Danniu, so he didn't say anything more and just stood aside and gave orders with his mouth.

On the way back, I happened to meet Li Shoucai. Now that our two families have become relatives, they get along more comfortably.

"Little brook girl, why did you break off so many red thorny branches? Be careful not to prick your hands."

Zhou Xiaoxi smiled and said:

"Grandpa, I plan to take them home and plant them. When these red thorn branches grow roots, I will transplant them to the inn. When they cover the entire fence, they will definitely look beautiful when they bloom!"

Li Shoucai has lived in the village for decades, and has never thought that the flowers and plants are beautiful. The fragrance they emit makes him feel dizzy after smelling it for a long time.

But since he knew that these fruit trees could make money, he liked them more and more. Sometimes he would stare at the flower buds on the trees for a long time, and he liked them very much.

Therefore, when Zhou Xiaoxi mentioned it, Li Shoucai was very much looking forward to it. It would be great if the flowers bloomed everywhere in their village, which would attract more people to come and enjoy them.

With so many people here, do you still worry about not being able to make money?

"Haha, you are really smart, girl. Then take good care of it, and I will go plant it with you when the time comes. By the way, I don't know if the branches of the pear tree we pressed down last year have grown roots yet. When is the right time to transplant them?"

When Zhou Xiaoxi was mentioned, he slapped his forehead.

"Oh, thanks to you for mentioning it. How could I have forgotten about Grandpa Liu? Since he knows how to prune fruit trees, he must also know how to plant them. I have to ask him for help with this matter."

Zhang Daniu didn't care about the fruit trees. She looked at Zhou Xiaoxi's red forehead and said distressedly:

"Xiaoxi, why did you hit me so hard? My forehead is red! If you do this again next time, I will stop you!"

"Sister Big Girl, I'm not that delicate. This red mark will disappear in a short while."

Looking at Zhang Da Nv now, Li Shoucai sighed. This girl has finally gotten her happy ending after all the suffering she has endured!

When the three of them came to Old Man Liu's place, they happened to meet Widow Zhang. She was a little embarrassed to see them, and her ears were red.

"Head, Xiaoxi, I'm here to deliver the basket to Brother Liu. I'll be leaving now so as not to interrupt your conversation."

Before Zhou Xiaoxi had the chance to say hello, Widow Zhang left quickly after she finished speaking.

Several people watched her leave, and then turned their eyes to Old Man Liu tacitly.

Li Shoucai said with a smile:

"Brother Liu, it's not a good idea for you to be single all the time. You should find someone who understands you and lives your life with you. That will make your life more meaningful."

Zhou Xiaoxi also laughed and joked along.

"Yes, yes, Grandpa Liu, if you had a partner, you wouldn't have suffered so much these days. If you like someone, please ask a matchmaker to come to your house and propose marriage!"

Speaking of this, recalling the situation at that time, it was still very dangerous.

A few days ago, Old Man Liu accidentally slipped and fell in the yard, unable to move for a long time. He lived in a remote place, where few people would pass by. He really cried out to the heavens and the earth for help but no one answered.

Thanks also to Widow Zhang, who happened to come to ask Old Man Liu for help in delivering the ordered baskets to the city. When she saw Old Man Liu lying on the ground, she quickly ran to find someone to help.

It was on that day that Zhou Xiaonan used a silver needle to prick Old Man Liu's legs, quickly restoring sensation in both legs, and became famous overnight.

Almost everyone in the village knew that Zhou Xiaonan was studying medicine in the city, but no one took it seriously.

When someone in the village falls ill, if the illness is not serious, they will ask a barefoot doctor to prescribe some medicine. If the illness is serious, they will go to the clinic in the city. No one will ask Zhou Xiaonan for help.

She is just a little girl, and she is spoiled by her family members so they allow her to do whatever she wants. How could she really cure diseases?

Unexpectedly, not only can he do it, but he also seems to be very good at it!

Since then, the reputation of "Little Doctor Zhou" has spread in the village and is showing signs of spreading to nearby villages.

In addition, the fact that Widow Zhang was Old Man Liu's lifesaver became a hot topic among the villagers. Everyone was curious about how Old Man Liu would repay her.

Widow Zhang was very good at weaving baskets, and inspired by Zhou Xiaoxi, her small business was booming.

She has been living alone ever since her only daughter got married. During this period, many matchmakers came to propose marriage to her, but she rejected them all.

Li Shoucai continued to add fuel to the fire and said:

"The widow Zhang in our village has matchmakers coming to her house every few days to propose marriage. In my opinion, they are all people with bad intentions who are just after her ability to make money. I hope she can open her eyes and choose a reliable one, and don't let herself be deceived."

Old Man Liu was annoyed by what the two said and said unhappily:

"If you have something to say, please speak up. If you don't have anything to say, please leave now! My legs and feet are not fully recovered yet. I need to go back to the house to rest."

"Oh, no, no, no, I really have something important to say! I was just feeling emotional for a moment, why are you so anxious? It's not enough to just be anxious, the right thing to do is to act quickly. Hey, Brother Liu, don't leave, I really have something to say!"

Seeing that Old Man Liu was really angry, Li Shoucai immediately stopped joking and said seriously:

"Brother, when can we transplant the branches of the pear trees in our village that were crushed last year? I have to trouble you with this matter. We are all laymen."

Old man Liu sat back on the stool in the yard again, basking in the sun while leisurely drinking the tea that Zhou Xiaoxi poured for him.

It was not until Li Shoucai became impatient that he spoke:

"Why rush? Wait a little longer. The roots will grow deeper when the weather gets warmer, and it will be easier to transplant them."
