The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.
Chapter 14 Strange old man
Dr. Huang lives in two adobe and thatched houses halfway up the mountain in Hongxing Village, two kilometers away from the nearest household.
It was just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather was clear and crisp. Doctor Huang was drying herbs in several round winnowing baskets on the flat ground in front of his house.
But the door was closed, so it was obvious that no one was home.
Grandma actually didn't want to come here at all. She felt that it would be unlucky for her to come here since she was healthy and had no trouble with it, so she said, "Doctor Huang must have gone out. Why don't we go back?"
Grandpa also said: "You are not dark at all. Girls like you are healthy."
Grandma: "That's right, look at those young women who just came to our village. What's the use of being white? They can't lift anything with their hands or shoulders. They can't even work and have nothing to eat. Their backs are also turning black, which means they have strength. Don't listen to what that jerk Jiang Wei says. I want to see him..."
The following words made Xu Yu deeply realize the richness and profoundness of the Chinese language.
After grandma had scolded her enough, Xu Yu said, "Grandpa and grandma, why don't you go back first? I'll wait here for Doctor Huang to come back."
"No, no, no."
The two elders would definitely not leave her here alone.
What if she can't get over it?
The third brother's family has only this precious granddaughter, so they must take good care of her.
Xu Yu was feeling helpless when he saw Dr. Huang coming out from behind the house.
When he saw the three people standing there, he said without any further ado, "Come and help me. If you help me for a day, I'll give you a prescription."
Grandpa and grandma frowned.
Is Dr. Huang planning to use their granddaughter as a laborer?
How can this work!
Just as the two elders were about to speak, Dr. Huang rudely dismissed them: "Other people should do what they need to do, and don't hang around here."
Grandpa and grandma: “…”
Grandpa said unhappily, "We exchanged our things with you for herbs, and that's why the little fish got injured and can't work."
Grandma also said: "That's right, you didn't ask my granddaughter to help you yesterday."
Doctor Huang glanced at the two elders and walked into the house with a cold expression, as if he was not going to see them off.
Xu Yu hurriedly said to his grandparents, "Grandpa and grandma, I want to stay. You can go back first."
After saying that, he called out to Dr. Huang: "Dr. Huang, what do you want me to do?"
"Xiaoyu, you..."
Grandpa and grandma wanted to persuade her.
Xu Yu then said to them, "I'm staying at Dr. Huang's place today and won't be going anywhere. I won't have any random thoughts if I have something to do. Don't worry about me."
The two elders paused, and suddenly thought that their granddaughter was upset, so it would be best to let her do whatever she wanted.
It's better for my granddaughter to work for Dr. Huang than to be depressed.
Thinking of this, the two elders shut their mouths, but they were still worried.
Since Dr. Huang didn't let them stay here, they decided to wait nearby.
They have to watch people to feel at ease.
After the two elders left, Xu Yu asked Dr. Huang: "Dr. Huang, what do I need to do?"
Doctor Huang glanced at her, then turned around and went into the house to get a herbal scissors. He pointed at the herbs in the dustpan and said bluntly, "Cut all these herbs."
If it were anyone else, they would definitely say that Dr. Huang was deliberately making things difficult for them. After all, there were quite a lot of herbs in the six or seven winnowing baskets, including many vines and roots as thick as wrists, and the guillotine looked particularly old.
Xu Yu didn't complain at all. He sat in the shade and started cutting herbs.
Dr. Huang brought a recliner from inside the house and sat down under the shade of the tree to take a nap.
Xu Yu actually likes cutting herbs very much. After she was adopted by an old Chinese doctor, she spent several years cutting herbs, identifying herbs and memorizing the medicinal properties of various herbs. This way, the little girl would not have extra time to be sad for her parents who died in an accident.
Unfortunately, the old man died early, and Chinese medicine has gradually withdrawn from the mainstream with the increasingly advanced medical level. She considers herself an ordinary person and cannot endure decades of experience and wait until she is in her forties or fifties to become a recognized Chinese medicine practitioner, so she has been working in the medical beauty industry since she was in college.
Her wish is to earn money to buy a house, have her own home, and make more people beautiful.
As fate would have it, she had just bought a house when she came to this era.
However, she is not the kind of person who complains about everything. She plans to formulate some beauty products and health-care medicines in the next two years, and then find a way to let the educated youth in the surrounding villages help her promote them. When the policies are relaxed, she will immediately go to the big cities to capture the market.
As long as she seizes the market opportunity, why would she be worried about not making money?
She has always believed that luck favors those who work particularly hard.
Of course, if you want to develop your career, the most important thing is to find a reliable teammate.
The Xu family is very nice, but she is not the original owner, so she always feels guilty when she sees them. She can help them get rich together in the future, but now, she dare not have too much contact with them.
So Jiang Yi is her first choice.
The first time she saw him, she subconsciously felt that he was the one!
Just as Xu Yu was enjoying the future, Dr. Huang's voice suddenly came: "I'm hungry, go cook."
Xu Yu was stunned at first, then he realized that an entire morning had passed.
She stopped what she was doing, stretched her arms and fingers, which had become sore from the movement, and asked, "Where are the firewood, rice, oil, salt, and vegetables?"
Doctor Huang: "Go find it yourself."
Xu Yu: “…”
Xu Yu stood there staring at Doctor Huang for a while. Seeing him close his eyes and look like he was asleep, he couldn't help but mutter, "What a weird old man."
After saying that, he simply went to find it himself.
Fortunately, the original owner had the ability to make fire and cook, otherwise Xu Yuzhen would have no way to deal with this simple wood stove made of a few stones.
Even so, when she lit the fire, she still made herself look like a clown.
Doctor Huang's things are clearly visible here. There are not many things, but there is a wild rabbit hanging there that was obviously killed not long ago.
Xu Yu didn't hesitate and took the rabbit meat down directly. She then looked for seasonings, but to no avail. She then turned her attention to the medicinal herbs, as many of them were also seasonings.
When she was taking the herbs, Mr. Huang didn't open his eyes, as if he was fast asleep.
Just when the meal was almost ready, the voices of Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei suddenly came from outside the door.
The two were obviously worried about Xu Yu and came to find her.
Xu Kui said very politely: "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry to bother you, Doctor Huang. We have prepared the meal, please come and eat with us, Doctor Huang."
When Xu Yu heard this, he hurried out of the kitchen.
At this time, grandparents, parents were all standing in front of Dr. Huang.
Dr. Huang was still sitting on the recliner, looking unhappy that his sleep had been disturbed.
Xu Yu hurriedly called them: "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom."
The four of them turned around at the same time, and when they saw her covered in dust, their expressions were a little complicated.
Xu Yu smiled at them: "I'll be at Mr. Huang's..." She suddenly didn't want to call him Doctor Huang anymore, so she changed her words: "Grandpa Huang, I'll eat here. I still have work to do in the afternoon."
Hearing the name "Grandpa Huang", Dr. Huang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her.
Xu Yu pretended not to see it, walked up to the four of them, and said, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, don't worry. As long as I work for Grandpa Huang for one day, he will give me a whitening medicine. Just wait for me to become whiter."
The four people's expressions became more complicated.
Xu Yu added, "You guys go back and have dinner. I've already prepared the meal here. I'll be back after I finish my work this afternoon."
Zhang Hongmei opened her mouth and wanted to say something as she looked at her daughter whose personality had changed so much in just one day, but her eyes turned red before she could open her mouth.
Xu Kui also frowned.
At this time, Dr. Huang suddenly stood up and said, "She is safest here. You can do whatever you need to do."
This sentence is like a guarantee.
After hearing what Dr. Huang said, Xu Kui looked at his daughter who was determined to have her skin white, and asked his parents and wife to go back with him.
Looking at the departing figure, before Xu Yu had time to feel anything, Dr. Huang walked up to her with his hands behind his back and said to her, "What are you doing standing here? Go get some food and continue working after you finish eating."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen first.
Xu Yu subconsciously looked at his back and felt that this old man was even more weird.
"What are you still standing there for? Do you need me to help you with the food?"
Dr. Huang, who had walked to the kitchen, suddenly turned around and glared at her.
Xu Yu smiled very sweetly: "Here I come."
No matter whether he sees it or not, as long as this old man doesn't expose her, she can still use him to help her get into medical beauty in the future, so why not?
