C22 She Wants to be Beautiful!

Madam Lau was extremely worried about Zhang Family. Old Mrs Zhang ate breakfast and returned, but after a while, she came back with a basket of needle and thread.

He stayed there for a whole day.

Old Mrs Zhang didn't ask about their family's situation, nor did she ask what the two children were doing up the mountain. He just sat on the floor of the courtyard and asked Madam Lau for help.

They said that Elder Zhang was helping people build houses on the mountain, so the soles of their shoes were sharpened extremely quickly.

Madam Lau ordered Zhang Dacheng to cut down the trees and told him to wait for the two children on the road. She told them that Old Mrs Zhang was still at home.

Zhang Qiao was someone with an idea. She would know what to do the moment she heard Zhang Qiao's words.

It was Zhang Qiao's idea that their things were so well hidden and so tight. Their house had dug the cellar and everything was hidden in it.

"Leeding, Qiao."

"Father?" Confused, the siblings asked in unison, "Father, why are you here?"

Zhang Dacheng sized them up, "Are you hurt?"

The first thing he cared about was whether he managed to find any Dendrobium. To him, children were the most important.

The two of them shook their heads.

Zhang Dacheng heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the Bamboo Basket on their back that had pigweed on it, but he couldn't see anything.

"You, Grandma, have been at home for the whole day. Your mother told me to wait here for you. Let me tell you guys first."

Upon hearing that, Zhang Qiao immediately understood Madam Lau's intentions.

She took out a cloth bag and put the Dendrobium inside, telling Zhang Leeding to hide in a big tree and wait until the night to come and get it.

She then took Zhang Leeding to the nearby area to cut two of the Bamboo Basket's mint.

He had to make a mistake.

Otherwise, Old Mrs Zhang wouldn't believe him.

The two of them returned home first, Zhang Dacheng continued to cut down trees. He had seen it earlier, there were so many Dendrobium that it required a lot of stakes to be planted.

"Mother, we are back."

Madam Lau's heart thumped when she heard their voices. She hurriedly put down her sewing and walked over to welcome them.

She didn't know if Zhang Dacheng had met them, if he carried the Dendrobium home, how would she explain it?

Old Mrs Zhang also rushed over to welcome him.

Their eyes were fixated on the thing inside their Bamboo Basket.

Seeing that the Bamboo Basket was not the Dendrobium, Madam Lau felt reassured. She smiled and helped Zhang Qiao put down the Bamboo Basket, "What are you doing? You guys are in my house. "

The two of them called out in unison, "Grandma."

Old Mrs Zhang nodded and pointed to the item inside the Bamboo Basket. "What is this?"

Zhang Qiao responded, "Grandma, this is called mint. Cut it out and clean it up. After drying it, send it to the pharmacy for sale."

Old Mrs Zhang was surprised. "This is medicine?"

"Un, you can add medicine into it." This is the herb Dr. Xu taught me to identify. These days, we have been gathering herbs to send to him. "

Zhang Qiao nodded.

Old Mrs Zhang took a handful of mint from the Bamboo Basket and examined it carefully. She even smelled it and didn't put it back.

Zhang Qiao also pretended that she couldn't see.

"Mom, I'll cut these and spread them out under the sun. You go and cook. Let's have some corn and wild vegetables tonight. I picked some mushrooms on the mountain and put them in it to cook together. It must be delicious. "

Zhang Qiao poured out the mint from the Bamboo Basket. Sure enough, there were some mushrooms underneath.

Madam Lau answered and went into the kitchen to pick up the mushrooms.

Seeing that there was nothing else, Old Mrs Zhang thought to herself, 'This thing is so valuable?' Everyone's days were obviously better than before, the three children had grown up quite a bit, and Madam Lau's complexion was also better than before.

She calmly sat back down.

As Zhang Qiao took in the soles of her shoes, she secretly sized her up.

Zhang Qiao cut mint, dried mint, all without Old Mrs Zhang.

Satisfied, Old Mrs Zhang went to take a look around the kitchen. When she found that Madam Lau was really preparing to cook the corn paste, she gave up on the idea of eating here tonight.

"Cuihua, I'll be leaving first."

Madam Lau quickly stopped, "Mom, let's eat here. After dinner, I will have Dacheng send you there."

Old Mrs Zhang looked down at her cornmeal and waved her hand. "I still have to go back and cook for your father. You guys go ahead. I'll be going now."

Madam Lau walked her out of the courtyard and let out a long sigh as she watched her back.

He finally sent her away.

On the other side of the road, Zhang Dacheng and his son carried the tree back.

Madam Lau waved her hand. "You're back!"

Hearing Madam Lau's tone, Zhang Dacheng knew that his mother had already left.

"He's back!"

In the courtyard, Zhang Qiao couldn't help but smile when she heard her parents mumbling. The mutual understanding between her parents was really enviable.

She washed her hands and went to the kitchen to help.

He scooped a few bowls of flour into the cornpaste and made scallion cake with the noodles. Then he washed the mushrooms and boiled the egg soup.

When night fell, the family stayed in the courtyard to enjoy the cool.

Zhang Leeding walked around to make sure no one was watching, then he went to take the bag of Dendrobium back home.

After dealing with the Dendrobium, it was already midnight.

Zhang Qiao lay awake.

She looked at her hands and frowned. How could he not have a premonition? Old Mrs Zhang wanted to come to her house and stay there all day, so why couldn't she have the slightest premonition?

If he lost his premonition, it would be much less convenient.

Zhang Qiao couldn't sleep, so she took some Dendrobium and went to the kitchen to make some.

They had all been sold, so he was reluctant to part with them.

He left some for his family to soak in water and drink. He wanted everyone to be in good health so that they could stay together.

"..."

In the town, Shi Jin put away the Dendrobium that he had brewed and took a few of them, while carrying the medicine to fry.

"Elder, it's time to drink the medicine."

Gu Qian put down the book and sat up on the soft couch.

Shi Jin handed over the bowl, "If you use the Dendrobium found by Miss Zhang, I'll take a few more of the medicine first to see how effective it is."

Hearing that, Gu Qian was stunned.

"She found the Dendrobium?"

Shi Jin replied, "Yes! Yesterday at the medicine store, I happened to meet Miss Zhang and Wu Mo sending Dendrobium over, so I decided to buy everything there. "I never thought that Miss Zhang was someone who would repay kindness with kindness. It was me who misunderstood her in the past."

Gu Qian finished the medicine in one go. He didn't know if he knew that this medicine contained the Dendrobium that she had found, but he felt like it wasn't as bitter as before.

Shi Jin was also surprised.

Isn't this medicine bitter?

Gu Qian ignored his astonishment and asked, "How did she let you change your opinion?" He still remembered that Shi Jin said a lot of things about being dissatisfied with Zhang Qiao in front of him.

Just because of that time when she was unwilling to take responsibility.

Shi Jin: "I gave three hundred taels to those Dendrobium but she only took two hundred. She said that having a Dendrobium worth a hundred silver would repay Master for saving his life that day. "

Shi Jin wisely chose not to speak the latter part of Zhang Qiao's sentence.

He was afraid that Gu Qian would spit out all the medicine and a mouthful of blood at the same time.

He had clearly saved her, but she still despised him for dragging her down.

Gu Qian was silent. His eyes were gloomy as his fingers lightly rapped on the table beside him. Shi Jin was confused and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Gu Qian smirked, "She's dreaming!"

"…" Shi Jin didn't understand.

Gu Qian raised his hand and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while, you go out first."

Shi Jin agreed and went out with an empty medicine bowl.

Gu Qian's hand landed on his chest, and he whispered: "Girl, you thought it through after a hundred liang? Aren't you a little too naive? "
