In the early morning light, bursts of cheerful laughter came from the water's edge.

The sunlight sprinkled on the sparkling water like golden threads, drawing a golden halo on the water. As the waterwheel turned leisurely, the golden light was broken into countless glittering fragments.

"Share the pancakes with everyone." Song Ran was seen holding a steaming pancake in his hand and generously putting it into Song Li's cloth bag.

This pancake was made by Song Ran himself early in the morning and it still exudes an enticing aroma.

Song Li came to the water's edge with this delicious food in her heart.

She counted the people and found that Li Rongrong was the only one who had not arrived yet.

So she kept Li Rongrong's pancake separately and called out loudly, "My sister asked me to bring you these pancakes. Do you want to eat them now?"

Li Zi and Dong Mei jumped off the waterwheel and gathered around Song Li with Miao Zhen and Jin Jiao. When everyone saw the pancakes, they all showed surprise.

"Wow! There's an egg inside!" Li Zi is a little foodie. She knew what was inside as soon as she took a bite of the pancake.

"There are also diced bacon! It smells so good." Dong Mei also agreed.

Just as everyone was eating with gusto, Li Rongrong came running over, panting.

Song Li handed her the reserved pancake. Li Rongrong took the pancake and smiled from ear to ear, "Luckily I saved some food."

After finishing the pancakes, Song Li moved closer to Li Rongrong and whispered, "Take me to find Qin Shiyao later."

"what!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down." Song Li quickly signaled her to keep her voice down. She didn't want too many people to know about this. After all, these kids were careless and thought the hawthorn pills were candy.

If she bought it, Li Zi, a big foodie, would definitely look at her eagerly. If she let it slip in front of her sister, she would be in trouble.

Li Rongrong nodded and whispered, "I understand. This matter cannot be made public. How much money did you take from your sister?"

Song Li:?

Where is this?

Song Li and Li Rongrong were preparing to leave on tiptoe. Their small movements immediately caught Li Dongmei's attention. She suddenly shouted, "Where are you going? Are you going to the toilet? I want to go too."

Her clear and loud voice echoed in the air, immediately attracting the attention of Li Zi and others.

Chestnut echoed, "Me too!"

Song Li looked at Li Dongmei and Li Zi behind her and felt a headache. She held her forehead and sighed helplessly.

It seems that there is no way to get rid of it.

Seeing Song Li's expression, Li Dongmei seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. She said with a sad look, "So, you wanted to secretly go to Qin Shiyao to buy hawthorn pills, why didn't you take us with you?" There was a hint of grievance in her voice.

Li Rongrong is a carefree person, but she can't bear to see her friends cry. Seeing this, she was at a loss and kept waving her hands and saying, "No, no, no."

Song Li had no choice but to explain: "I just picked up two cents, which can buy six hawthorn pills. We will each have one when the time comes."

"Picking up money! Where did you pick it up? I'll go and watch it tomorrow too." Li Zi said.

"It's not feasible to just sit back and wait for something to happen," said Li Dongmei.

Li Zi asked in confusion: "Pig? Why do we have to guard it?"

Li Dongmei explained: "Waiting for the rabbit by the tree is an idiom, which means that people should not always rely on luck when doing things, but should be down-to-earth. Just like waiting for money to fall from your eyes, it is unrealistic."

Li Zi and Miao Zhen were younger, so they looked confused when they heard it.

"Oh, you won't understand even if I tell you. My brother told me. He went to take classes with Master Zhuang and taught me what he learned when he came back." Li Dongmei shook her head helplessly, looking like a little adult.

Li Rongrong asked curiously, "Are you going to a private school next year? I heard that Master Zhuang will question you when you enter the private school."

Li Dongmei replied: "My mother said it depends on whether Master Zhuang wants me, so she told me to listen carefully to my brother so that I can leave a good impression in front of Master Zhuang."

Private schools would accept girls, who would usually study with their teachers until they were around fourteen years old.

Master Zhuang was very strict in accepting students and required them to undergo a series of tests, including idioms, proverbs, historical anecdotes, and most importantly, the Three Character Classic.

It is said that it is to test whether the students have wisdom, but it is also to understand the family background of the students. Master Zhuang believes that a person's growth and development depends not only on personal efforts, but also on the family environment.

Seeing that the topic was getting off track, Song Li quickly got back to the point: "Then do you want to go buy hawthorn pills with me?"

"Go!" Li Dongmei and others answered in unison.

Several people came to Doctor Qin's door.

Doctor Qin was not at home during the day. He was very busy all day. He treated all kinds of diseases and knew a little bit about all of them. He could also treat the sick livestock at home.

Qin Shiyao is not very old, but influenced by his grandfather, he is also quite interested in medicine. At this moment, he is studying the medical book left by his grandfather, picking up the herbs that are drying in the sun, looking very serious.

"Little Doctor Qin." A crisp call interrupted Qin Shiyao's thoughts. He looked up and saw Li Rongrong sticking her head out and waving at him.

Qin Shiyao's eyes lit up, a customer came!

He ran over in a hurry, but found a little girl standing against the wall behind Li Rongrong.

"This!" Qin Shiyao was slightly stunned, then turned back to look at his grandmother in the house, and found that his grandmother was busy preparing lunch. He hurriedly pulled Li Rongrong and the group of little girls to the bamboo forest nearby.

"Why are you bringing so many people?" Qin Shiyao asked helplessly.

"Didn't you ask me to introduce more customers to you?"

"You can't have so many at once. I don't have that many hawthorn pills prepared." Qin Shiyao scratched his head and said awkwardly.

"Song Li is the only one who wants to buy it."

"Okay, then whoever wants to buy one next time, just come to me. And don't tell anyone about this. If my grandfather finds out, you won't be able to eat such cheap hawthorn pills anymore."

"How many to buy?"

Song Li took out two copper coins and said, "Three for one copper coin, right? I want six."

Qin Shiyao accepted the copper coin and said with a smile: "Do you want me to check your pulse? I'll only charge one copper coin."

“I have no money.

"Okay, I'll take the money. Just wait, I'll go back and get it for you." Qin Shiyao said, turned around and ran back into the house.

After a while, he came back with six hawthorn pills in his hand.

"So big!" Song Li looked at the hawthorn pill in her hand in surprise.

"Hey, my stuff is affordable. If you find it hard to swallow, you can pinch a small piece." Qin Shiyao said as he demonstrated.

"Try it."

Song Li looked at the hawthorn pills in Qin Shiyao's hand, feeling a little hesitant.

Did this kid wash his hands?

But think about it, anything is better than that stinky thing.

She pinched a small piece and put it in her mouth.

The taste of hawthorn pills is not strange, with a light sweet and sour taste.

Song Li nodded: "Not bad."

Qin Shiyao also showed a proud smile, "Come back if it's delicious! You can also come to me if you are sick, my place is cheap."
