Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"A doctor is like a caring person. Let me do it." Cheng Suying pushed Du Wenxiu aside and handed the medicine bag to her.

"Please help me to boil medicine for him. You should know how to do it, right?" Du Wenxiu couldn't help but glare at her. Who doesn't know how to boil medicine?

Cheng Suying smiled and called Cheng Xiaomei: "Go and help watch over the medicine, don't let it run dry."

Cheng Xiaomei turned and walked out the door, followed closely by Du Wenxiu.

Although Cheng Xiaomei was still a child, in the ancient times where people under the age of seven were not allowed to sit at the same table, she still had to avoid men from other families, so Cheng Suying sent her out without showing it.

Du Wenxiu took a clean medicine jar and poured the herbs from the paper bag into it, then looked at Cheng Xiaomei eagerly:

"How much water should I pour?"

Cheng Xiaomei smiled, picked up the medicine jar to add water, and Du Wenxiu had to do the work of making a fire.

The fire was lit, and Cheng Xiaomei came back with the medicine jar filled with water and placed it on the stove.

"How old is your little sister this year?" Du Wenxiu sat aside, doing nothing, chatting with her little sister in a random manner.

Cheng Xiaomei smiled and said openly, "I will be nine years old soon."

"Immediately?" Du Wenxiu became interested. "When?"

Cheng Xiaomei's face, which had gained some weight, was also full of energy:

"Mom said that I will be nine next month, and two years later I will be eleven. I can no longer act like a child."

Du Wenxiu laughed and echoed:

"You are indeed a big boy now. Since you are a big boy, you should celebrate your birthday well. Is there anything you want, little sister?"

Cheng Xiaomei thought for a moment and shook her head again: "I have enough food and clothing now, and there is nothing I want."

Du Wenxiu wanted to tease her more and more: "When the time comes, will your aunt invite you to the restaurant for dinner?"

Cheng Xiaomei's eyes lit up, then dimmed again:

"Mother said that no one's money comes from the wind, and one should do things within one's ability. Going to restaurants is still too extravagant for us."

"But I only go there once on my birthday, so why not?" Du Wenxiu squatted on the ground, hugged his knees, and looked at her with a smile.

Cheng Xiaomei shook her head slowly and stopped talking.

Outside the busy door of Wenyuefang, an old woman came sliding along the wall from the door. Cheng Xiaomei looked up and saw her, then quickly turned around and lowered her head.

Du Wenxiu turned his head and felt that the old woman looked somewhat familiar.

"Why is she here?" Du Wenxiu asked curiously.

It turned out that the old woman was Cheng Suying's ex-mother-in-law and Cheng Xiaomei's grandmother.

After making a commotion at the door of the pharmacy, the old woman and her husband went back dejectedly, and Du Wenxiu thought they had never come again.

Now looking at Cheng Xiaomei's reaction, it is not the case at all.

"How many times has she come?" Du Wenxiu asked.

Cheng Xiaomei turned her head and glanced at her, then straightened the medicine jar and said:

"She came here quite often in the past month and brought me some pear jelly candies. But if mother didn't ask me to take any, I wouldn't take any and ignored her."

Then, he said with a distressed look, "I didn't want it, but she forced it on me. I was afraid that my mother would be angry and sad, so I threw it away secretly every time."

"What else did she say besides giving you things when she came?" Du Wenxiu asked with a frown.

Cheng Xiaomei lowered her head with a bit of grievance: "It means that I must not forget that she is my grandmother. She and I are the closest people. I cannot deny her, but I feel uncomfortable."

The old woman had bound feet, but she still walked very fast, and soon she was close to the two men.

At first, she didn't recognize Du Wenxiu, thinking she was a customer who came to get medicine, and she smiled and approached Cheng Xiaomei:

"My dear, grandma is here to see you again. My dear has really become fairer and fairer."

"Come with me someday and let your grandfather take a look at our precious child. He is so beautiful now."

Cheng Xiaomei just lowered her head and ignored her.

The old woman took out some mud from her arms and stuffed it into Cheng Xiaomei's hands.

"Come here, my dear, look at what fun things grandma has brought you. It makes a sound when you blow it. It's really interesting. Try it. I guarantee you'll like it very much."

Cheng Xiaomei dodged left and right, afraid of knocking over the medicine jar and wasting the medicine, but also didn't want to have any contact with her.

For a moment, her little face turned red and she looked like she was about to cry.

Du Wenxiu picked up the fire poker and waved it twice in front of the old woman seemingly casually, scaring her so much that she stepped back.

We did have dealings at that time, but at that time Du Wenxiu was pregnant and her face was swollen.

Now, half a year has passed, and the old woman's eyesight is blurry, so she can't remember a little bit, she just feels that the face is familiar.

"You are here to see a doctor, right? Let me tell you, the doctor here is my daughter-in-law. If you are so rude, I will tell her to ignore you."

The old woman took two steps back, put her hands on her hips, and her sharp voice became more and more shrill.

Du Wenxiu smiled slightly: "Old man, I am not here to see a doctor. I am the owner of Wenyuefang. I came to see if Madam Cheng is being lazy."

The old woman was startled at first, then she grinned and showed her yellow teeth and walked forward: "Oh, so you are the boss, no wonder I thought you were different from others."

"Mrs. Zicheng is busy right now, so her family came to find her. She told me originally that she had no family except her child, so she stayed."

Du Wenxiu ignored her and continued talking to herself.

The old woman laughed and said, "It's my daughter-in-law who is angry with us. Look, this little girl is the daughter she gave birth to with my son. She looks like me, you can tell at a glance."

Du Wenxiu opened his mouth slightly, but was speechless for a long time.

Cheng Xiaomei pursed her lips, looking bitter.

The old woman was quite pretty, but her eyes were filled with viciousness, which made her whole face look hateful.

"Whether what you said is true or not, this is my family's workshop. Madam Cheng works in my house. If you have something to ask her, wait until she finishes work and then talk to her outside the door."

Du Wenxiu placed the fire stick under the medicine jar and produced a spark.

"Boss, I'm not here to look for her this time. I want to take my granddaughter home to have a good meal. Her grandfather has bought a lot of pear jelly candies and left them at home for her return."

The old woman bent down and said in a low voice, looking at Cheng Xiaomei: "Child, please say something."

Having said that, he reached out to pull it.

Du Wenxiu suddenly pulled out the fire poker, waved it with a bunch of sparks, and scared the old woman back again.

"Oh, if you burn me, I will depend on you for the rest of my life." She knew that Du Wenxiu did it on purpose, so she became a little angry and growled.

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "Yes, I did it on purpose. Go and sue the government. If you win, not only will it be my fault, but even after I die, my son will support you."

The old woman's face immediately turned red with anger. Her son had died a long time ago and she had no one to support her. Du Wenxiu's words were like a stab in the heart.

The old woman sat down on the ground and started wailing, her voice almost heard two miles away.
