In the clinic, Dr. Ding, who was wearing glasses, was sorting medicines. When he looked up and saw Wei Miao, a smile appeared on his gentle face.

"Ah Miao, I heard your father is much better."

Wei Miao put the chestnut cake in his hand on the counter and said:

"My father's wounds are no longer festering, and he doesn't have a fever... Apart from being weak, there are no other obvious symptoms."

Doctor Ding listened to the ten-year-old child who was able to describe the patient's symptoms in detail, then looked at his distant nephew who was eating secretly while sitting at the door of the clinic, and sighed softly.

Wei Miao is the smartest child he has ever met. If his family conditions are better and he can go to school, he will definitely become a great person in the future.

"Doctor Ding, this chestnut cake was made last night. I came back too late, so it wasn't delivered. You must eat it today."

Dr. Ding’s daughter Huihui’s favorite dish is the chestnut cake from Wenchang Cafe.

"Okay, when Huihui comes back from school, she will be so happy. I will tell her that it was given to her by her brother A Miao."

Because there are many children in the family, Wei Miao also likes the quirky Ding Hui.

The two of them often spent a long time thinking about certain puzzles written in tabloids.

Although Wei Miao is smart, she has only been a human for two years. Naturally, she cannot compare to Ding Hui, who has been a human for eight years.

Later, the more she understood human knowledge and thinking, and the more things accumulated in her mind, Ding Hui was no longer her opponent.

"Doctor Ding, what happened to Huihui's diarrhea last time?"

Doctor Ding put away the chestnut cake and smiled when he heard Wei Miao's concern for his daughter:

"The little girl was greedy and ate unclean things from the stall. She took medicine and recovered only yesterday. I said I would go to your house to see your father today."

When Wei Ada was just sent back, Xu Ayu came to ask Dr. Ding to see him.

He visited the patient once, and although he was helpless and asked Xu Ayu to prepare for his funeral, he did not charge a penny for the consultation.

Although Xu Ayu is aggressive, she is a very particular person. Now everyone in the family, big and small, needs someone to stay with them, otherwise she would have come in person.

Doctor Ding smiled happily after hearing what Wei Miao said:

"Go back and tell your mother to take good care of your father. I will go again when I have time."

Wei Miao asked Dr. Ding to buy a bottle of painkillers and asked for some plasters for rheumatism. Looking at Dr. Ding's busy back, she finally spoke.

"Doctor Ding, if I have a batch of sulfa, do you have any connections?"

Doctor Ding was stunned. He had already known that Wei Ada's recovery was due to the drug sulfa, and was wondering when this miraculous drug became available in the country.

The young boy in front of me said, "This kind of life-saving medicine is probably more expensive than gold."

He did not ask Wei Miao where he got the medicine, but he did not expect that he would mention it on his own initiative and quickly think of maximizing the profits from the medicine.

Doctor Ding did not treat Wei Miao as a teenager, but replied solemnly:

"I need to see the medicine and confirm its efficacy before I can give you an answer."

After Wei Miao understood, he took the purchased medicine and left.

Looking at the young boy walking in the sunshine, with his thin and straight back, Dr. Ding once again refreshed his opinion of Wei Miao.

He had to believe that some people were smart from childhood.

Xiao Ding came in from outside, holding half a croissant in his hand, and handed it to him with a grin:

"Uncle, you eat."

Doctor Ding glared at him and said seriously:

"How many times have I told you that you can't eat in the clinic?"

Xiao Ding shrank his neck.

Doctor Ding suddenly felt even worse. He picked up the magazine that Wei Miao had just found and went to study it on his own.

Xiao Ding wrapped the croissants and thought about bringing them back to give to the little girl Huihui. She would definitely be happy.

The Suzhou River stretches for 18 kilometers in Putuo District, so it is known as the "Half-Mahjong Suzhou River", with a total of bays.

There are many people who make a living on the water. Most of them are born and die on the water.

Looking around, densely packed ships were crowded on the river, leaving only a very narrow waterway, just like the crowded cars parked on both sides of the road in the previous life.

Because he received one thousand US dollars yesterday, Wei Miao finally had a relatively complete way to make money, so he dared to spend money more lavishly.

She planned to spend all the silver dollar Xu Ayu gave her.

She walked and laughed. Who could have thought that the Lion King, who had no worries about food and drink in his previous life, would spend money lavishly in this world with the standard of a silver dollar?

Wei Miao put the medicine in his cloth bag and walked into a market near his uncle's boat to start shopping.

She spent fifty-six cents to buy two pounds of fat meat. Because she was about to close the stall, she spent another five cents to buy the remaining few large bones without meat.

She spent 1.9 cents on a pound of soybean oil, 4.3 cents on a pound of salt, 0.96 cents on a pound of sugar, 27 cents on ten eggs, and the rest on flour. She felt it was enough when she could no longer carry it.

Thinking of her three cousins, she spent a penny and bought a few pieces of maltose, which made her feel perfect.

Wei Miao looked at the pile of things and regretted that he was so busy buying them that he forgot that he was too weak.

All in all, it weighed more than ten pounds, and it was a bit difficult for her little hands to carry it.

"Ah, you thief, how dare you steal my lotus roots? I'll beat you to death, you little bastard."

There were screaming and scolding coming from the vegetable stall in the distance.

"I didn't! You dropped it on the ground, and I picked it up and wanted to give it back to you, and you scolded me!"

The girl's voice is crisp and very penetrating.

The harsh voice spat:

"That's because I saw it, so you're saying that. If I didn't see it, you would have stolen it. These are lotus roots I just bought from the countryside, and they're very expensive."

“You are not a good person!”

The girl was angry and made faces while throwing the black mud on her hands away.

"what!"

The female stall owner screamed and her body and face were covered with mud.

The girl was very relieved when she saw the female stall owner chasing after her. She made a face and said:

"As soon as you came out, all the precious lotus roots were stolen!"

The female stall owner was so angry that her face turned red like a toad, her chest heaving, and she pointed at the girl who was making faces and cursed:

"You little bastard, poor devil on the water, don't let me meet you next time."

The little girl showed no weakness and cursed with her hands on her hips:

"You old fool, I'll throw mud all over you next time!"

Wei Miao thought the person sounded familiar, so he looked through the crowd of people pointing and watching the fun, and saw that it was none other than his youngest cousin.

"Lots of fish."
