LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 16: Don’t you understand nothing?
Chapter 16 Don’t you understand nothing?
Renxintang is full of people. They all come to Dr. Chen for medical treatment. Renxintang is a time-honored brand. Not to mention people in the town, even people from the city will rush here to seek medical treatment from Dr. Chen. .
Dr. Chen was busy. Lu Nan greeted him and directed Ning Xi to push him to the pharmacy.
There were two aunts taking medicine in the pharmacy. Aunt He and Aunt Yang were both familiar with Lu Nan. Lu Nan greeted them and introduced Ning Xi to them.
With a smile on her face, Ning Xi greeted them obediently, "Hello, Aunt He and Aunt Yang."
"I heard your dad said you were married. We still blame him for not telling us." Aunt He said with a smile and stopped what she was doing to look at Ning Xi. "Look at the pretty girl. No wonder Lao Lu I am full of praise when I mention you as my eldest daughter-in-law.”
Lu Zhenghai even mentioned her as his daughter-in-law outside and was full of praise for her.
Ning Xi blinked, a little unbelievable. In her impression, Lu Zhenghai's father-in-law looked very gentle to everyone except Yang Yufeng.
For her, the way he looked at her, especially every time she made trouble at home, there was always an incomprehensible look of disappointment in his eyes.
Aunt Yang was taking medicine. She responded with a smile and asked with a smile, "Has your dad gone back? I met him a few days ago and he said that the school work has not been completed yet."
“No, I won’t go back until I get my transcripts in a few days.”
After a few pleasantries, Lu Nan explained his intention.
Aunt Yang asked Ning Xi to take the herbs in and take a look.
Aunt Yang picked it up and looked at it, then asked with a smile, "Nizi, do you know about herbal medicine?"
Ning Xi nodded quickly, "Yes! I have studied medicine for several years and am very familiar with herbal medicine."
Aunt Yang checked all the herbs and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the herbs are all handled well and divided. I don't even have to divide them myself."
Aunt Yang gave Lu Zhenghai a very high price to recycle Ning Xi's medicinal materials for Lu Zhenghai's sake.
A basket of medicinal materials was sold for a total of 10 yuan.
10 yuan can be described as worthless compared to 700. In this era, ten yuan is less than half a month's salary for a worker and several months of living expenses for an ordinary family.
Ning Xi didn’t accept the money Aunt Yang handed her. “Aunt Yang, I also want to buy a pair of silver needles.”
Aunt Yang didn't ask any more questions, "Silver needle, we'll get it for 15, you can just give me 15."
After coming out of Renxintang, the two went to the farmer's market to buy some seasonings. There was no seasoning at home except salt. Ning Xi didn't care about this before. As long as she ate something, it didn't matter whether it tasted good or not, but in the future she would eat it every day. Make lots and lots of delicious food.
They say that if you want to keep a man, you need to keep his stomach. If you want to conquer Lu Nan, the first step is to keep his stomach.
After buying the seasonings, Ning Xi walked to the chicken stall nearby and said, "Master, how do you sell hens?"
The uncle raised his head and glanced at her, "One yuan and two pounds."
“Can it be less?”
The uncle shook his head, "Indispensable, this is raised from pure food at home."
“If you want to eat, buy it.” Lu Nan took out the money from his pocket and said, “Here’s one.”
The uncle quickly stood up, picked out a chicken, tied it up and handed it to Ning Xi.
This chicken is full of energy. When it was caught, it immediately flapped its wings and scratched with its two claws. Ning Xi was still a little afraid of this thing and didn't dare to reach out to grab it. Lu Nan caught it in his hand.
Then I went to buy a pound of pork and some suet to make lard.
After opening the farmer's market, the two went to the Zhenghua Garment Factory on the outskirts of Yao Township. This factory was opened by Lu Nan's uncle, Lu Zhenghua. At first, their factory was engaged in contract processing. Lu Zhenghua's eldest son, Lu Xu, graduated from university three years ago. He came back to take over the garment factory and slowly established his own brand.
Lu Nan would come over for lunch every time he went to the market before going back.
When the two of them entered, Zhou Hui just put the food on the table. After saying hello, Zhou Huiyi glared at Lu Nan reproachfully, "Didn't I tell you before? Come over and say hello when we get to the market." , I’ll make some soup for you, what kind of mother do you think you are? If your son is so seriously injured, he doesn’t know how to replenish his body. How long will it take for your body to recover if you eat some nutritious food every day?”
While talking, Zhou Hui glanced at Ning Xi intentionally or unintentionally. She didn't want to see Ning Xi, not because she looked down upon her, but simply because Ning Xi was not good to her children.
Ning Xi touched her nose in embarrassment. If she hadn't come, Yang Yufeng wouldn't be the only one who would be criticized. She, the daughter-in-law, would also be criticized.
"Auntie, my body has recovered a long time ago. My second aunt will help me make some soup from time to time. My dad will buy bones and other things for me to make soup every time he goes back. Today, when I went to the market, Xiao Xi even bought a chicken to take home. Make me some soup."
“Sit down first. Your uncle and the others will be back soon. I’ll go get some more bowls and chopsticks.” When he heard that Ning Xi had bought chicken, Zhou Hui’s face looked better, and the way he looked at Ning Xi also improved a little.
When Zhou Hui entered the kitchen, Lu Nan said softly, "Auntie, you don't mean any harm."
“I know that my aunt feels sorry for you. I was ignorant and failed to take good care of you before.”
Lu Nan glanced at her lightly, "I am a grown man and don't need you to take care of a child?"
He also said she was a child.
He is only 5 years older than her, but he always calls her a child.
Ning Xi rolled her eyes and suddenly had an idea in her mind. She leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, "Oh! I am a child, so what you did to me a few days ago is what a grown man should do to a child. Did you do it?”
“It’s not...” Don’t you understand anything?
Before Lu Nan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Xi.
Seeing Lu Zhenghua and Lu Xu enter the house, Ning Xi quickly stood up straight and said hello, "Uncle, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law."
Lu Zhenghua smiled and responded, "Yes! Sit down first."
After lunch, when Ning Xi went to the toilet and came out, Chen Jing waved to her, "Ning Xi, let's go."
Ning Xi followed Chen Jing out of the house and asked, "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
“Xiao Nan asked me to help you choose some sets of clothes.” Chen Jing took Ning Xi and walked towards the warehouse.
“I have clothes to wear.” They are short of money now, so why sell clothes?
"Are they all like this?" Chen Jing pulled the clothes on Ning Xi's body. I don't know how many years she has worn these clothes. They are as hard as starched and covered with patches. This kind of clothes is not suitable for others. Speaking of her, even people in the countryside with slightly better conditions don't know how to wear them.
Ning Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "Isn't this good? It will be fine if I wear it for another year or two."
Speaking of clothes, she has not worn new clothes since her grandparents passed away. All the clothes were picked up by Ning Hong. In recent years, Ning Hong has not even given her old clothes, and she has indeed not changed them for several years. Out of clothes.
All women love beauty, but what she lacks most now is money and she doesn’t want to waste it on buying clothes.
“You are a girl, why don’t you know how to dress yourself up?” Chen Jing pulled Ning Xi into the warehouse and rummaged through a pile of new clothes that had not been packed yet, looking for clothes that fit Ning Xi.
