My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

For lunch, Huaying made a dish of cold-mixed black fungus, stir-fried mushrooms, and steamed rice, and invited Dongxue to eat at home. Dongxue took a bite and said it was delicious, "Sister Huaying, these black fungus are so big, and the mushrooms are so fresh."

I originally wanted to tell Dongxue that these were dug in the scary back mountain, but then I thought that if Dongxue went to the back mountain alone, she would not be able to bear the consequences if something happened.

"Dongxue, come home for dinner." Aunt Zhang's voice calling Dongxue was heard at the door.

"I'm coming." Dongxue responded. She turned to Huaying and said embarrassedly, "Sister Huaying, I'm leaving now. If my mother knew I ate at your house, she would definitely scold me again."

Huaying was amused by her and looked at Xiao Dongxue lovingly and said, "Okay, I'll save some delicious food for you next time."

Fu Shiyan came over and tasted the mushroom, "Well, the mushrooms in the back mountain taste good."

"How do you know I went to the back mountain? Hey, Fu Shiyan, you are using my chopsticks." Huaying was stunned that Fu Shiyan was using her own chopsticks.

"I know, there are still chopsticks." Fu Shiyan ate in a very polite manner and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Upon closer inspection, a hint of triumph appeared in his eyes.

Jacaranda......

Yue Niang waited for Huaying at the intersection for a long time, and finally saw Huaying walking towards them leisurely with a small bamboo basket on her back.

Yue Niang stepped forward quickly and pulled Huaying aside, "Yuen Niang, why are you here?" Huaying looked at Yue Niang in surprise, who looked anxious.

"Girl, have you offended anyone? Today someone came to my shop with your portrait. Fortunately, I was smart enough to lead the person to Bali Town for you." Yue Niang narrated the whole story.

Huaying was a little surprised after hearing this. Could it be that the masked brother she had saved before came to repay her?

"Yueniang, do you know what that person looks like?" Huaying asked gently.

Yue Niang thought for a moment and gestured, "From his accent, he sounds a bit like someone from the capital."

Huaying searched her mind and found that the original owner's memory was chaotic and she couldn't remember anything, so she gave up.

"You should be careful recently and don't go anywhere alone." Yue Niang looked at her worriedly.

Huaying nodded and thanked Yue Niang. Yue Niang waved goodbye and left.

Huaying carried the bamboo basket to Tongxin Hall. Shi Nuan, who was pounding medicine, was the first to find her. She ran over to hug her in surprise and said, "Sister Huaying, are you here to see me?"

"Half and half, this is the sticky rice dumplings I made for you, try it." Huaying took out a cloth bag with residual warmth from the bamboo basket and handed it to Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan wiped her hands, opened the cloth bag, took a bite, and it was so sweet. This was the first time she had eaten sweets since the accident at home. After chewing it twice, tears came to her eyes.

Huaying knew that she was homesick. She was still a child after all. She squatted down to wipe away the tears on her face and teased her, "What's wrong? Did our little Nuannuan cry because the bean buns are so unpalatable?"

When Shi Nuan heard her nickname, she couldn't help but hug Hua Ying and started crying.

Fu Shiyan happened to see this scene when he came from Xindian. He saw Huaying patting her little sister's back, comforting her, and said, "Go home if you miss home. You are studying medicine, not selling yourself here. How can you be so honest?"

It would have been better if he didn't coax her. The more he coaxed Shi Nuan, the more painful her tears became. Fu Yi heard the noise and rushed over, thinking that someone had bullied his beloved disciple.

He walked over and saw that his master and his beloved disciple were both fine. He wanted to pay his respects, but because Huaying was there, he went back to the inner room to continue his work.

Shi Nuan cried enough, raised her little face and looked at Huaying's clothes embarrassedly, "It's okay, eat it, and try if it tastes good." Huaying said to her gently.

Shi Nuan nodded and began to eat in small bites. "Sister Huaying, why are you carrying all this grass?"

Huaying was stunned. "Grass? Aren't these medicinal herbs?"

Shi Nuan came over to check them one by one, shook her head and said, "These are all grass. But it is also possible that I am seeing things wrong. I will call Master to come and take a look."

The little medicine boy at the side said seriously, "No need to call me Master, I'm sure these are all grasses."

Jacaranda......

Fu Shiyan, who had been sitting in the back, chuckled. Huaying turned around, glared at him, and said, "Don't laugh."

Fu Shiyan laughed out loud. He thought Huaying knew that she was carrying grass, so he didn't ask her because she always did things that ordinary people didn't do. Now seeing her confused expression, he couldn't help laughing.

Shi Nuan laughed when she saw her brother laughing. Her brother rarely laughed like that.

Huaying looked at what she had worked so hard to carry back home and then to town, and found that it was just a pile of waste grass. She couldn't help but laugh at her own stupidity.
