Farmhouse Green Plum

After a pause, Xiaoxiang added, "We will feed the cows."

There was no need to farm in winter, so Yang was very happy: "Okay! I'll go and tie it for you!"

A few days later, the snow melted and many villagers went out to work again, and girls like Daya were no exception.

After several days of extreme cold, most of the firewood in each household was used up, and pine needles were in short supply for emergency use.

As soon as Daya arrived at Songlinpo, Zhao Xiaocui came to greet her and asked expectantly, "Going to the county?"

"Xiaoxiang, will your mother go to see Doctor Ma today?" Daya asked, tilting her head.

If the villagers saw that she was familiar with the clinic's medicine boy, it would be difficult to hide it.

"No, my mother plans to finish taking the medicine she got last time. If I go to get more medicine, my father will make a fuss again."

That day, Xiaoxiang's uncles came and made a big fuss. They even beat up her father. Her father finally agreed to treat her mother, but only agreed to prescribe some medicine.

Daya nodded, "Then let's pack up and go early and come back early."

She was also in a hurry to go to the clinic. After what happened on her birthday, her urgency to make money increased even more.

In the cold winter, there are far fewer people going out than in summer and autumn, and they didn't meet many people along the way.

"Brother Lin, are you still pounding medicine in such a cold day?" As soon as she entered the clinic, Daya saw Lin Wenxuan still sitting at the door of the pharmacy pounding medicine.

"Song family girl!" Lin Wenxuan was very surprised to see her, "You haven't been here for a while!"

Daya smiled and said, "I wanted to come here some time ago, but it snowed and the road was difficult to walk on, so I had to give up."

"That's right. A few days ago, our clinic admitted a lot of patients who were injured in the snow. Hey, what happened to your face? Did you fall too?" As they approached, Lin Wenxuan saw the scratch on Daya's lower left face and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Did you apply medicine?"

Of course, no medicine was applied. How could one afford to buy medicine for such a skin injury? Daya smiled and answered his questions one by one: "I accidentally stepped on the ice. It's just a few scratches. It's healing already. It should be all healed in a few days."

Lin Wenxuan shook his head, "How can I wait for my injury to heal? Wait for me."

As he said this, he put down the copper pestle and mortar, turned around and went into the pharmacy. After a while, he came out with a small white porcelain jar and handed it to Daya: "It's for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Just rub it on the wound."

"No, it's just a minor injury." Daya politely declined.

Lai Di at the side pointed out without hesitation: "What minor injuries? You have large abrasions on your back and legs, some of which are almost full of pus."

After saying that, she looked at Lin Wenxuan and said, "Doctor Lin, how much is this bottle of medicine? Let's buy it."

Daya thought that she was sleeping with Li, and she would be able to smell the medicine when she applied it, so she planned to refuse. But when she thought of the abrasions all over her body, she felt that her health was more important, so she took out copper coins from her pocket and waited for Lin Wenxuan to name the price.

"There are also scratches on your back and legs?" Lin Wenxuan was stunned. "How many times did you fall?"

"I stepped on two pieces of ice in a row." Daya explained briefly, shook the porcelain bottle in her hand, and asked again, "How much is this medicine?"

Lin Wenxuan waved his hand: "It's just some medicine for the wound, why bother talking about money?"

"How can that be possible? You guys need to make money by running a clinic, so how can I take it for free?"

"It's okay. I made this bottle for my own use. It contains very common medicinal materials and is not worth much. We are so close that it's not appropriate to talk about money."

"Then I won't be polite to you." After he said that, Daya couldn't refuse. She planned to go to the market to buy him a basket of buns next time she came, so that it could be considered a give and take.

Lin Wenxuan smiled and looked at Lai Di and Zhao Xiaocui, "Are these two your friends?"

"Yes, they will probably come with me to sell medicine more often in the future."

Lai Di and Zhao Xiaocui quickly greeted him: "Doctor Lin."

Lin Wenxuan's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "I'm just a medicine boy, I can't be called a doctor by you."

Lai Di was a very outgoing person, and because she had been selling herbs to Lin Wenxuan, she had a very good impression of him, so she immediately said, "Then we will do the same as Daya and call you Brother Lin."

Lin Wenxuan couldn't help but look at Daya, and thought to himself: So her name is Daya, this name is so perfunctory, no wonder she was reluctant to say it before.

When she met his gaze, Daya realized that Lai Di had said her name, and she felt embarrassed.

Lin Wenxuan quickly looked away, as if he hadn't heard Daya's name, and said very naturally: "You carry her to the backyard first, I'll go get the scale."

Having said that, he turned and went into the pharmacy.

Daya let out a light breath, led Lai Di and the other two to the backyard of the pharmacy, and took the opportunity to warn them: "Don't mention my name in front of Brother Lin."

"Oh, I forgot!" Lai Di covered her mouth in annoyance, "I'm sorry, Daya, I speak without thinking when I'm excited."

Zhao Xiaocui was very confused: "Why can't I mention your name in front of him?"

Zhao Xiaocui was not Lai Di or Xiao Xiang, and Daya was not that close to her. She did not want to tell her about her inferiority complex about the name 'Daya', so she only said vaguely, "I plan to change my name in the future."

"Change your name? Why did your grandma change your name?" Zhao Xiaocui didn't catch her subtle emotional changes and asked again curiously.

"Not my grandma. I plan to change my name myself."

"You changed your name yourself?" Zhao Xiaocui was stunned. "Does a name you change yourself count?"

Daya glanced behind her and lowered her voice and said, "At least it counts in this clinic, and I will find a way to make my new name count in the village too!"

Zhao Xiaocui was so shocked that she was speechless. They worked together every day and saw each other every day. How come she had never noticed before that this little girl had such bold ideas!

Is this still the sensible, well-behaved and gentle Daya?

"I want to change my name too!" Lai Di said quickly, and then told the two, "Don't tell them my name later, and don't tell them later. Oh, I have to think of a name to change to."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Daya nodded in agreement, but she also reminded her worriedly, "Don't mention my name again."

Soon, Lin Wenxuan came in with a scale, weighed the herbs neatly, and quickly calculated the price.

Looking at the few copper coins in her hand, Zhao Xiaocui felt disillusioned. Such a large basket of herbs was only exchanged for twenty copper coins, while any prescription in the clinic would cost at least a dozen coins, and could cost as much as several taels.

"Oh, by the way, I have a favor to ask of you. A lot of people have caught colds recently, and our clinic is short of pinellia. Could you please go find some? We'll charge you three times the price. But pinellia is usually picked in summer and autumn, so it's hard to find at this time of year."

"Pinellia? Isn't ephedra used to treat colds?" Lai Di looked at Daya in astonishment, full of confusion, "Did you remember it wrong?"
