Chapter 54 The Convenience Store Owner x The Blind Nouveau Riche Who Has Regained His Sight

There was still no news from Xiao Liu, so just in case, Li Jiaojiao started teaching Niu Dali to read and do math.

To her surprise, Niu Dali was a master of mental arithmetic.

"How much is this soap and two ounces of vinegar combined?"

"Da da da"

"It'll cost 37 cents in total," Niu Dali said, calculating in ten seconds.

Li Jiaojiao nodded: "That's right, Dali is really smart."

Niu Dali is very happy to come to the shop to learn things every day after finishing her farm work. There are people willing to teach her and they don't mind that she learns slowly!

She had attended literacy classes, but the teaching there was too fast; once the blackboard was erased, the teacher would stop teaching.

The dim classroom lights were scattered in every corner, barely illuminating the blackboard; all that could be seen was chalk dust stuck on the mottled blackboard.

After visiting a few times, Niu Dali gave up.

She also wanted to attend the primary school in the next village, but everyone around her was younger than her, and she was afraid of losing face, so she didn't go.

With Niu Dali's help these past two days, Shen Mingrong has had even less to do.

He sat on a deck chair in front of the shop, basking in the sun.

Sometimes, Li Jiaojiao would look up unintentionally and be drawn to him, as if the knots in her heart were being gently soothed.

Li Jiaojiao suddenly realized that she hadn't been tormented by the lingering power of heavenly lightning for a long time.

Tuotuo promptly chimed in: "Host, I reported back to the previous small world. The main system replied that it will use the power of spacetime to help suppress it."

"What is the power of time and space?" Li Jiaojiao asked.

Tuotuo thought for a moment and said, "Host, Tuotuo doesn't know either." It had never seen the power of spacetime.

"Okay," Li Jiaojiao said, uninterested in the unknown. "Never mind if I don't know."

Niu Dali was writing quietly, Shen Mingrong was leisurely basking in the sun, time was ticking away, and Li Jiaojiao was lost in thought, resting her chin on her hand.

She had been in this small world for half a month, and the original owner's wish had not progressed at all.

If they keep running the convenience store, who knows when they'll be able to fulfill Shen Ajiao's wish.

She looked at Niu Dali, who was learning to read, and said, "We need to speed things up. I also want to lie down and not do anything."

"Come on host!"

The new system tutorial on the system forum says to provide timely spiritual support to the host, which I specifically learned today.

A shout of encouragement suddenly came to her mind, startling Li Jiaojiao.

"Tuotuo, don't do that again!" Li Jiaojiao gritted her teeth. "It almost gave me a stress reaction!"

"I'm sorry, host," Tuotuo had been happily waiting for praise.

"Ring ring... Ring ring"

The landline was right next to Li Jiaojiao, and it rang suddenly. She trembled for a moment before answering the call.

Hello? Who is this?

If it weren't for something important, she really wanted to swear.

"Is this Shen's convenience store? I'm Dr. Qi."

This is important! "Yes, Dr. Qi, I am Shen Mingrong's sister."

Dr. Qi kept it brief: "The hospital has been found, the bed and doctor's consultation have been arranged. Come to me before you go to the provincial capital to pick up the referral form."

"Okay, no problem, we'll come tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiaojiao excitedly shook Shen Mingrong awake, "We can go to the provincial hospital for a checkup..."

She suddenly remembered that she had been keeping it from Shen Mingrong, and quickly stopped herself from speaking.

Xu Routing linked arms with He Yueshan, and within a few days, their relationship became very harmonious.

"Shanshan, when are we going to see Mingrong again?"

She wanted to prepare in advance what to bring, because last time she was in too much of a rush and went empty-handed.

He Yueshan didn't want to go at all, but she didn't show it in front of Xu Routing.

"Let's wait a while. His eyes aren't fully healed yet, so going too much of a visit won't leave a good impression," she said, trying to persuade Xu Routing.

The naive Xu Routing had no doubts whatsoever and believed everything she said.

"Then let's wait a while. I asked my dad to inquire about good doctors for eye treatment, but we haven't found anyone yet."

He Yueshan seized the opportunity to ask, "Did you tell your dad about what I told you last time?"

"I already told you," Xu Routing nodded. "My dad will probably tell you when we come to my house for dinner later."

"You are truly my best friend," He Yueshan said with a beaming smile.

After receiving the phone call, Li Jiaojiao found herself wielding a powerful spatula when stir-frying vegetables.

Xiao Liu arrived that evening while she was packing her luggage.

Aren't you afraid of disrupting your work?

Xiao Liu shook his head: "I usually do odd jobs. Sister Jiaojiao, please let me go with you. I can do a lot of things. I've never been to the provincial capital before. I'll pay for my own travel expenses."

He rushed over as soon as he heard the news, afraid that they had already left.

She didn't bring Niu Dali this time. If she left, only Niu Dali's mother would be left. Niu Dali is the one who does all the farm work, so she can't leave.

Thinking that someone could help carry the things, Li Jiaojiao agreed to let him go with her.

But of course, Xiao Liu couldn't possibly pay for the transportation himself.

After finishing her meal, Li Jiaojiao went to find a few close friends under the trees at the entrance of the village.

"Aunt Honghua, the shop is closed for the next few days. I need to take my brother to the provincial capital to get his eyes checked."

Aunt Honghua paused for a moment, then said, "That's great news! That's great news!"

The others heard it too and nodded with smiles.

Shen Mingrong was seen by the villagers as a quiet, upright, brave, and kind-hearted man.

"Don't worry, we'll look after your shop for you."

Aunt Honghua said this in a hearty manner, and then pulled the others to give her their assurances.

Li Jiaojiao gave each child a White Rabbit candy, and the children promised to help her protect the shop. Satisfied, she left.

When they set off early the next morning, Li Jiaojiao posted a "Closed Notice" on the front of the roller shutter door.

Because we needed to bring luggage, Jianzai helped call a van.

The truck was going to the city to pick up goods, and it just happened to be on the way.

Before getting into the car, Li Jiaojiao slipped a ten-yuan red envelope to the driver.

One of the advantages of running a small shop: "Lots of red envelopes (cash gifts)."

The seats in the van are often disassembled, so they are not very stable. When the van goes fast and hits a pothole, the seats will vibrate violently.

Seeing Shen Mingrong's deathly pale face, Li Jiaojiao stepped forward and took his hand. "Don't be afraid, we're almost there."

Xiao Liu was fast asleep in the passenger seat. He often rode in cars like this and was used to it.

Shen Mingrong was trapped in darkness, and he couldn't tell which way was which as he swayed. Fortunately, she held his right hand.

He was like a ship adrift aimlessly in the Black Sea, finally finding someone to steer it.

Shen Mingrong wasn't afraid, but if it made her feel closer to him, it didn't matter if she misunderstood.

The driver stopped in front of the hospital: "Miss Shen, we've arrived at the city hospital."

"Okay, thank you, Master."

Shen Mingrong felt a pang of regret; it had arrived so quickly, and he hadn't had enough time to hold hands with the animals.

Dr. Qi wasn't on duty today, so all his things were left at the security office. Li Jiaojiao signed for them and took them away.

The train station wasn't far from the hospital; the three of them walked there in a short while.

Today is not a holiday, so there weren't many people at the train station entrance, but the exit was packed with people.

Li Jiaojiao knew that these were all migrant workers from other places who had come south to work.

"Xiao Liu, how's the thing you were asking about going?"
