The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Finally, she couldn't suppress her eagerness to try anymore, so she carefully picked up a new medicine twist and began to grind the medicine like an adult. Her serious little look made her undoubtedly Su Yu's most capable little helper.

Time flies, and there are only ten days left before the follow-up visit for the wife of the Grand Marshal. Su Yu knows that he must speed up and prepare several more effective medicines in advance so that he can bring them all at once.

With Xier as a little helper, the efficiency of pharmaceutical production has been greatly improved.

On a stormy night, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating everything in the house. Immediately afterwards, deafening thunder rolled in, foreshadowing the coming of a heavy rain.

During this period, the rain seemed to be particularly fond of this land, falling almost every day.

Su Yu suddenly had an idea and thought that he should add a rainproof roof to the carriage at home to prevent it from getting wet and becoming a drowned chicken when traveling.

The forest after the rain is a good time for mushrooms to grow. Once those small mushrooms hidden under the dead leaves are picked and stewed with tender chicken, the taste will definitely make you forget the trivialities of the world.

Just as she was immersed in this wonderful reverie, Jiang Ziling suddenly mentioned: "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon."

These five simple words instantly aroused Su Yu's interest - this was the first traditional festival she had spent in another world, and it was of great significance.

"What are the customs for the Dragon Boat Festival here?"

She asked with anticipation, already eager to experience the festive atmosphere of this other world.

Su Yu's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she cautiously inquired with Jiang Ziling, trying to unearth the unique features of the festival customs of this time and space, secretly expecting to discover wonderful traditions that were different from the later generations she knew.

Jiang Ziling smiled and explained calmly, "In fact, there is nothing new. Every household just hangs mugwort and calamus on the lintel, with the simple wish to avoid evil. Another way is to collect herbs from the mountains, boil them into pots of medicinal soup with natural fragrance, and bathe the whole body, which means being strong and healthy all year round."

There were slight pauses in his words as he spoke, as if behind those simple actions, there were more complex emotions.

Noticing Jiang Ziling's silence, Su Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, and his eyes were full of confusion about this simple festival celebration.

"Is there no longer a custom of eating rice dumplings? No more exciting dragon boat races?"

She asked, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

In her opinion, rice dumplings and dragon boats, the traditional symbols of the Dragon Boat Festival, are almost an indispensable part of the festival.

Jiang Ziling rubbed his nose awkwardly and said frankly, "Zongzi was a must-eat every year in the past, but the family has been in a difficult situation in recent years, so we gradually skipped it. As for the dragon boat race, it's just a memory of watching it in town with my brother when I was young."

There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up by the helplessness of reality.

Su Yu nodded silently, already knowing in his heart how difficult their life had been over the years.

For families who can barely fill their stomachs, precious ingredients such as glutinous rice are undoubtedly a luxury.

She said softly as if she had made up her mind: "Then, this year we will celebrate a real Dragon Boat Festival."

She recalled the glutinous rice she had specially bought when she was stockpiling food, which she had not touched until now. Now that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming, that bag of glutinous rice would play a key role, adding a strong touch to the warmth that this festival should have.

The raindrops of the rainy season arrived as expected, hitting the roof densely and making crisp sounds.

Xier's sleepy little face was full of fatigue, and her continuous yawns revealed her strong sleepiness.

Su Yu gently washed her and then carried her into the bedroom. He watched the little girl quickly fall asleep, his heart filled with tenderness.

Then, Su Yu stood up and continued his work - grinding the medicine powder.

This tedious task took a lot of time, but she and Jiang Ziling both understood that they had to seize the time.

A plan to make more beauty creams emerged in her mind, which would not only maintain the skin but also whiten and remove spots. She believed that they would be very popular in the market.

It was late at night and the two of them worked hard until their eyelids were so heavy that they could hardly support themselves. The candle burned out in the night, leaving only a flickering flame.

The next morning, Su Yu's biological clock faithfully woke him up.

She planned to take a walk along the river, hoping to catch some fresh fish, and also wanted to visit the two paddy fields allocated to them.

Although the exact location is still unknown, and it is inconvenient to ask Jiang Xunzhong and Zhao directly due to past disputes, there must be someone in this small village who knows.

When passing by the lotus pond on the way, I happened to meet Xie Qifen who was busy picking lotus leaf tips.

"The tips of lotus leaves are the freshest and most delicious in the early morning. Once the sun is high and the leaves are fully unfolded, the freshness is greatly reduced."

As Xie Qifen spoke, she moved skillfully among the lotus leaves.

Hearing Su Yu's voice, Xie Qifen quickly raised her head with a simple smile on her face, "Hey, big sister, are you here to pick lotus leaves so early?"

Su Yu smiled and denied it, and stated his purpose: "No, I want to confirm the location of the two paddy fields that the Jiang family allocated to us. Do you know which two fields they are?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Qifen immediately agreed enthusiastically: "Oh, I know, I know, please wait for me for a moment, I will take you there when I am done."

"That's great. Since you're picking them, why don't you help me pick some more."

Su Yu took the opportunity to make the request, looking forward to the new day that was about to begin.

Su Yu's unceremonious look made Xie Qifen laugh out loud, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to hide warmth: "Girl, you really have your own lazy philosophy."

Su Yu smiled brightly in response, thinking, since it's easy to do, why not? After all, if you want to go down to the pond to pick those elegant lotus leaves, you have to step into the black and slippery mud.

Although the sludge is not difficult to wash off, it is still a big trouble.

Thinking of this, she followed Xie Qifen's figure and saw her step out of the pond. Her feet were covered with black mud, which made her particularly eye-catching.

The two of them came to the river side by side, only to find that the water level had risen a lot more than usual. The usually crystal clear river had now become a little muddy and yellow, like the reflection of the heavy clouds in the sky.

Xie Qifen took off her shoes and socks without a care in the world, and used the turbid air to easily wash off the mud on her shoes. She then put them on swiftly, leading the way on the path ahead with an unspoken familiarity and comfort.

"Auntie, don't you feel cold walking barefoot like this?"

Su Yu asked with concern.

"Cold? How can it be cold in this hot weather?"
