The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

The three of them hurriedly finished their meal and drove the ox cart to the largest pawnshop in the city. Cheng Hui carefully took out the small gold bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief. When the shopkeeper saw what she took out, his expression straightened up a little.

He stretched out two fingers, pinched the gold bracelet, and examined it carefully, his eyes full of admiration. "This is a fine piece! I've never seen a gold bracelet with such exquisite workmanship. Are you planning to pawn it alive or dead?"

"Of course I pawned it, Boss. This is something my mother left me. I'll have to redeem it later." Cheng Hui said with a smile, "Boss, if I didn't need it urgently, I wouldn't pawn it. I hope you can give me a good price."

"Well, madam, if I live, I will give you thirty-five taels of silver, and if I die, I will give you fifty taels of silver."

The price was quite reasonable, so Cheng Hui nodded in agreement, took the purse from the boss, and put away the pawn ticket with the pawnshop logo.

"Pawned it for thirty-five taels." Cheng Hui handed the purse to Xie Songlin. Xie Songbai was amazed. He didn't expect that a bracelet worn by a little kid could be pawned for so much money. On the other hand, he was happy because with so much money, redeeming his two little nephews should not be a problem.

Xie Songlin took out fifteen taels of silver and hid it away, leaving only twenty taels of silver in his purse.

At the blacksmith shop, Xie Songlin asked the two to wait for him outside watching the ox cart. He went in, but did not see Xie Lan and Xie Lin. He was about to find someone to ask, but the owner of the blacksmith shop, Zhou the Blacksmith, saw Xie Songlin and rushed over with an angry look on his face.

"Xie Songlin! I didn't come looking for you! How dare you come!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Xie Songlin bowed and wanted to say a few words, but was immediately grabbed by the collar by Zhou the blacksmith. Zhou the blacksmith was so strong that his neck hurt.

"I gave you twenty taels of silver before, and you told me your two sons were strong and capable of working. I really believed you and bought those two skinny kids. Not only can they not do any work, but they're also sick every other day. Return the twenty taels of silver to me and take your two sons back! I don't want them anymore!"

Xie Songlin was stunned when he heard this. He was really sleepy and someone gave him a pillow. He laughed wildly in his heart but looked embarrassed on the surface: "Boss Zhou, I want to go to the gambling house to make a comeback."

Xie Songlin wanted to pretend to be hesitant to make Zhou the blacksmith even more angry.

"What are you looking for? I'm telling you! You have to give me the money today!" Zhou the blacksmith ordered a blacksmith behind him, "Go to the back and bring those two guys out to me."

A moment later, another blacksmith trotted out from behind, carrying two tiny figures in each hand. Xie Lan and Xie Lin were pale as paper, their small bodies drooping limply, their eyes closed, clearly in a coma. Their clothes were worn and stained, their hair disheveled, and their frail appearances filled Xie Songlin with heartache.

The blacksmith roughly placed the two children on the ground, making a slight muffled sound. Xie Songlin's heart tightened, but he could only pretend to sigh helplessly, as if he was afraid of the group of blacksmiths who had gathered around him.

He took out the purse he had just obtained from his pocket and handed it to Zhou the blacksmith reluctantly.

Blacksmith Zhou snatched the purse, opened it, and counted the silver inside. After confirming that everything was correct, he snorted coldly, "Take these two sickly people away quickly, and don't let me see you again."

Xie Songlin nodded repeatedly, as if he was afraid of Zhou the blacksmith, then bent down, picked up the two children and walked out. Seeing him come out, Cheng Hui and Xie Songbai anxiously went forward. When they saw the pale and weak appearance of the two children, their hearts sank suddenly.

"How come these two good kids became like this?" Cheng Hui took the two children and put them on the ox cart.

Xie Songbai's face was also filled with anxiety. He frowned and shook his head repeatedly, "What should we do? How could these two children be so seriously ill? Should we go to the clinic now?"

"No, there's no need to go to the clinic. Take the two children home and have them checked out," Xie Songlin said, giving Cheng Hui a quick look. Cheng Hui instantly grasped the underlying meaning of Xie Songlin's words. Having a doctor at home who had received a modern, formal education was undoubtedly far superior to the so-called barefoot doctors in these ancient clinics.

"Brother, please take my wife and two children home first. There's nothing left at home. I need to go buy some fine grains for the children and also go to the pharmacy to buy some sour plum soup for tomorrow."

Xie Songbai looked at Xie Songlin and nodded slightly. He gently arranged the positions of the two children, making sure they were as comfortable as possible on the ox cart. He held the reins tightly in his hands and drove the cart towards Xiejia Village.

The weight of the goods that came back was much lighter than when we went there in the morning. Both wooden barrels of sour plum soup were sold out, and the ox cart came back much faster.

The wheels were rolling, and Xie Songbai was also anxious. He quickly rushed back to Xie Songlin's thatched cottage. Xie Wanxing and Xie Heng were pulling weeds at the gate of the yard. When they saw their mother coming back, they went to greet her.

"Mom, you're back." Xie Heng called out, and then he saw two unconscious teenagers on the ox cart. Xie Heng's eyes widened, his face full of surprise and worry: "Big brother and second brother are back too! Mom! What happened to them!"

Xie Songbai helped Cheng Hui carry the two boys into the house and laid them flat on the bed. Xie Wanxing also came over, touched their foreheads with her little hands, and then gave her mother a look.

Cheng Hui immediately understood, took out ten cents from her pocket and stuffed it into Xie Songbai's pocket, asking him to return the ox cart to the village chief's house first and settle today's money. She then asked Xie Heng to go to the kitchen to watch the fire and boil water.

After finally getting everyone out of the way, Xie Wanxing said, "It's okay. It's just a common fever, but no one is taking care of it, so it's a little serious. I'll go get some medicine from the space. I remember there's some medicine for children in my pharmacy. Two doses will help dissipate the heat and you'll be fine."

After saying that, she slipped into the space and fiddled with the pharmacy in her room for a while. When she came out, she was holding a box of powder and two fever-reducing patches in her hand.

After thinking about it, she felt that it was not safe. The modern packaging of the powder was still too abrupt. If someone accidentally saw it, there would be no way to explain it. She ran back to the space and found a stack of paper that looked similar to the one in the pharmacy. She cut it into small pieces and folded it into a small paper bag. She changed all the plastic paper packaging of the powder. At least it didn't look so out of place in this environment.

Cheng Hui also filled a basin of water and began to wipe the faces and hands of her two sons. After wiping them clean, she put a fever-reducing patch on each of them, and then took two pieces of cloth to cover their foreheads to cover the fever-reducing patches.

After finishing the cleaning, Cheng Hui began to talk to Xie Wanxing about the hot sales of sour plum soup today. However, Xie Wanxing had already expected that the popularity of iced sour plum soup was inevitable. Sour plum soup can quench thirst and is a very popular drink in summer even in modern times. Adding ice cubes is even more of a cooling artifact. Moreover, the underdeveloped ice-making technology in ancient times led to the high price of ice cubes. Only they could add this thing for free and still sell it so cheaply. However, small amounts add up to a lot, and even if you earn a lot, a business that only makes a penny will not attract attention.
