With his nephew leaving today, Doctor Xie wasn't sure when he would see him again. Although Xie Xuanzi was annoying, having him around made his life not so boring.
Not noticing Doctor Xie's reluctance, Pan ijia said, "Doctor Xie, my husband is waiting for at ho. I will head back now."
"Go ahead," Doctor Xie nodded.
After the brief conversation, they parted ways and returned to their hos.
While she was walking back, Pan ijia saw Liu Hua and her son, Xiao Xi, heading toward the Lu family's house. It had been a while since they last t due to her wedding preparations. They had also stopped selling snacks because of Wang Muxiao and Zhang Dongi's pregnancies.
Seeing her friend on the road made Pan ijia happy. She quickened her steps and greeted her, "Sister Ah Hua!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Hua stopped walking and turned around. When she saw it was Pan ijia calling her, a smile appeared on her face as she greeted her back, "ijia, what a coincidence. Are you just coming back from town?"
"I just sent off my friend. Sister Ah Hua, where are you going?" Pan ijia asked.
"I'm going to visit Ah Xiao to talk about sothing."
Hearing this, Pan ijia leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Sister Ah Hua, are you going to talk about business?"
"Well, it couldn't really be called business," Liu Hua replied with a smile.
"Do you need any help? I'm free nowadays and feel bored at ho," Pan ijia asked again.
Hearing this, Liu Hua raised her eyebrows and asked aningfully, "As a newlywed, you feel bored at ho? It seems that your husband didn't perform well."
The mont she heard this, Pan ijia blushed and replied, "Sister Ah Hua, what are you talking about?"
After a mont of hesitation, she added in a soft voice, "M-my husband is really good."
When Liu Hua saw her friend blushing and noticed her radiant complexion, she chuckled and sighed, "Look at how good your skin is. You are indeed well-nourished, ah!"
This ti, Pan ijia ignored her teasing and changed the subject. "Sister Ah Hua, what business are you doing?"
Knowing she could trust her friend, Liu Hua whispered, "I want to ask Ah Xiao if she is willing to sell her wound ointnt to Doctor Xie."
Pan ijia looked at her with surprise and asked, "Sister Ah Hua, isn't that ointnt made by my third sister-in-law? Won't she be angry if she finds out you are selling it?"
"That's why I want to ask Ah Xiao's opinion first. If she is unwilling, then I will go ask Jueyu," Liu Hua explained.
After thinking for a mont, Pan ijia suggested, "Sister Ah Hua, why not go directly to my third sister-in-law?"
Since she would eventually have to talk to Lu Jueyu, it made sense to just find her directly. This would save ti and avoid putting Wang Muxiao in a difficult position if she was unwilling to sell the ointnt.
After considering the pros and cons, Liu Hua nodded and said, "Then I will go find Jueyu."
"Good! Let's go together," Pan ijia nodded.
Since they were heading in the sa direction, they walked together. Xiao Xi walked beside his mother without interrupting the adults' conversation. He held onto a piece of fruit candy given to him by Dong Huang a few days ago and looked around with interest.
He couldn't bear to eat the candy all at once, so he would lick it a few tis whenever he craved it. Afterward, he would wrap it back in the beautiful transparent wrapper and hold it carefully.
Although Liu Hua and Xiao Li's lives were better compared to the villagers, they still owed Li Lingyun so money.
As a result, they continued to live as frugally as other villagers to pay off the debt and save money for their son's future. The main difference was that they now had at every day since Xiao Li would bring so at back every week.
As for buying candies for their son, they would only buy so maltose candies and give a piece to their son once every few days. This was to prevent Xiao Xi from getting cavities and to teach him the value of money and how to live frugally.
After forty minutes of walking, the three of them finally reached Lu Jueyu's house. Pan ijia pulled the bell's handle beside the double gate and waited.
Inside the house, Lu Jueyu was washing vegetables to make pickles when she heard the sound of the bell ringing. She wiped her hands on her apron and went to open the gate.
When she was near the gate, she called out, "Who is it?"
"Third sister-in-law, it's ," Pan ijia replied.
Hearing her voice, Lu Jueyu opened the gate and was surprised to see Liu Hua along with her son were also present. Seeing the obedient Xiao Xi, she smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, Sister Liu Hua, co in, please."
When Xiao Xi saw that the one opening the door was his sister Xiao Huang's mother, he smiled and greeted her in his milky voice, "Hello, Aunty."
Touched by his cuteness, Lu Jueyu couldn't help but reach out to gently rub the boy's head and replied warmly, "Hello, Xiao Xi."
When her gaze swept to the boy's hand, she noticed he was holding a candy made in her space. Knowing that her daughter often went to play with the boy, she knew that the candy was given by her daughter to the boy. She smiled and invited them inside.
As they walked past the vegetable gardens, Liu Hua and Pan ijia noticed that so of the plots had been cleared, and the soil had been turned over.
Seeing the empty plot, Pan ijia asked, "Third sister-in-law, are you planning to change the crops?"
"My husband and I want to build greenhouses before autumn so we can plant sumr vegetables during the winter season," Lu Jueyu explained.
