It was already 4pm when I got home.

I was busy at Li's house all morning, and chatted with Jiang Surao all the way in the carriage in the afternoon. I was really tired when I got home.

After asking Nian'er to go next door and ask Mrs. Wu to prepare more food, he lay down on the bed with his clothes on, thinking that he could take a short nap to rest his mind. However, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

It is winter now and the weather is very cold.

When Xu Qingye returned home, he saw that Song Yuntang's breathing was steady and knew that she was asleep. He frowned slightly, walked forward, pulled the quilt that was neatly folded on the inside of the bed and gently put it on her.

Song Yuntang was a light sleeper at the moment, and she would wake up at the slightest noise.

When he opened his eyes and saw Xu Qingye, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"You're back."

There was a slight nasal tone in his voice.

After sleeping for a while, my nose was already a little blocked.

Xu Qingye looked at her and said, "If you feel sleepy, you can sleep for a while."

Song Yuntang shook his head, sat up from the bed, and pinched his nose which felt a little uncomfortable.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'll go to sleep after I eat and wash up, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."

The man bent down and brought her shoes to her feet.

"Didn't you sleep well outside these two nights?"

"A little." Song Yuntang looked at Xu Qingye with some surprise as he helped her with things like tidying up her shoes. "I just arrived in an unfamiliar environment, and you're not around. I'm a little reluctant to get a bed."

The man was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to the backyard. "It's windy outside, stay in the room and don't come out. I'll make you a bowl of ginger sugar water first."

As he walked, the corners of his lips began to rise uncontrollably.

Looking at the man's back, Song Yuntang tilted his head, puzzled.

She said that just now and thought the man would respond, but she didn't expect him to just ignore her?

I sighed helplessly in my heart.

Suddenly she felt that it was too difficult to have a relationship, so she decided to focus on making money and practicing medicine.

...

After drinking a large bowl of ginger sugar water, Song Yuntang felt warm all over and his nose suddenly felt much clearer.

Xu Qingye heated up another hot water bottle for her.

"You must keep warm these days and not catch a cold again."

Song Yuntang held the hot water bottle and counted the days in his mind. Those few days of every month were coming again. He had been in Cile Town for half a month, and had been taking conditioning soups and medicines for ten days. Although he stopped taking the medicine later, he continued to eat medicinal food.

I think when my period comes again, it shouldn't be as painful as before.

"I see."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xu Wencheng ran out of the house, opened the gate, took the food brought by Wu, and turned to walk towards the main hall.

"Brother and sister-in-law, it's time to eat."

Knowing that Song Yuntang was going home, Xu Qingye specifically asked Wu to kill a chicken and stew some red dates in it. When taking the dish out of the pot, he sprinkled a handful of wolfberries on it, and the taste smelled especially sweet.

Xu Qingye took the bowl and first filled Song Yuntang with half a bowl of hot chicken soup and a few pieces of chicken.

"Have some soup first."

Seeing this, Xu Wencheng hurriedly pushed his bowl over.

"Brother, I want one too."

Xu Qingye shook his head helplessly, then picked up his bowl and served him a bowl of soup.

Xu Wencheng laughed, looking like the silly son of a landlord.

While drinking his soup, Song Yuntang looked at the two brothers with completely different personalities, and suddenly felt that it would be perfect if their personalities could be more balanced.

In this way, Xu Qingye's temperament would not be so dull.

Xu Wencheng is lively but also steady.

After all, her personality was a bit cold, and Xu Qingye was the type who couldn't muster a few words for a long time. Unless there were many people at home, the conversation between the two of them would often be awkward when they were alone together.

Suddenly thinking of something, Song Yuntang looked at Xu Wencheng.

"Wencheng, if you're free tomorrow, please help me transport some herbs to the farm. That will free up the middle room so that grandpa and grandma will have somewhere to stay when they come over."

In the past, whenever Zhuangzi came to deliver goods, he would always fill up the carriage when he returned. As time went by, there were not many medicinal herbs left in the house.

Xu Wencheng nodded.

"Okay, then tomorrow after I load the herbs into the car, I'll go to the clinic and call Changgen. It will be safer for the two of us to go together. Anyway, we'll go there tomorrow morning and return to Lushan Village at noon. Then we'll go back to the county town in the afternoon. I'll return him to my sister-in-law then."

Xu Qingye, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but slap him when he heard the last sentence.

After being slapped for no apparent reason, Xu Wencheng touched his head and looked at Xu Qingye with a face full of grievance.

"Brother, why did you hit me?"

In my impression, my eldest brother was a very tolerant person. Even when he was a child and was tearing off the tiles on the roof, my eldest brother never hit him.

Why did you suddenly get so angry today?

There was a warning in Xu Qingye's eyes.

"speak nicely."

Recalling what he had just said, Xu Wencheng slapped his mouth belatedly.

It turned out that he had just said something wrong and made his elder brother jealous.

Song Yuntang pursed his lips and smiled.

"Since we are going back to Lushan Village, if my parents and grandparents come, we can bring them over tomorrow."

Xu Wencheng was obedient this time. He just said "OK" and stopped talking.

……

The next day, Xu Wencheng and Xu Changgen went to Cile Town to deliver goods, and Song Yuntang took Shunzi and Nian'er to work in the clinic.

The screens, tables and chairs were placed, several pharmacies were decorated, and all the medicinal materials piled behind the counter were sorted into the medicine cabinet. A morning had already passed.

I have to come over again in the afternoon.

The pots, pans, and medicine jars in the kitchen need to be cleaned, and the entire clinic needs to be swept and wiped.

When he returned home, Xu Wencheng had already brought his parents-in-law and grandparents over, and Jiang was tidying up the wing room reserved for Xu Yuande and Hu.

Xu Yuande clasped his hands behind his back, walked around the front and back yards, nodded and said, "This yard is really nice."

Mrs. Hu smiled and looked at him.

"How can it be bad if the children picked it themselves?"

Xu Yuande chuckled and turned to look at Xu Qingye.

"Qingye, how are your studies going? Are you confident in passing the Autumn Examination next year?"

Xu Qingye didn't say he was sure, nor did he say he was not sure.

"Hard to say."

Xu Yuande continued, "Just do your best in everything. Don't force it. Even if it doesn't work out next year, there are still the next three years. You're still young, so don't be impatient."

Xu Qingye hummed, "I understand."

Song Yuntang heard the voices in the yard from a distance. She led Nian'er into the yard and said, "Grandpa, Mom, and Dad, are you okay on the road?"

Xu Yuande looked back at the courtyard gate and said with a smile, "Everything is fine."

Seeing that she and Nian'er were both covered in dust, Mrs. Hu came forward with her cane and helped them brush off the dust, as patiently as if she were treating a young tiger.

And he smiled kindly.

"What have you been doing? Why did you get yourself so dirty?"
