Chapter Fourteen: Hawthorn Pills
Perhaps the bag of biscuits was often thrown around by her like this, and most of the biscuits inside were broken, and almost no complete piece was left. Ji Wenyu picked them up and looked at the packaging. Even the shelf life was more than two months, so he would not dare to eat such things.
In desperation, Ji Wenyu had to ask again: "Boss, is there anything else to eat besides these?"
After the two entered the store, Zhang Yang asked for nothing for a long time. Then Ji Wenyu asked several times, but still didn't like anything. In addition, the hot and boring weather, the fat woman finally became impatient and said, "What do you want to eat? I have wheat milk essence, hawthorn pills, and cold medicine. What do you want?"
Is it good to drink wheat milk? Hawthorn pills? It aids digestion. They used to be sold in pharmacies, so the more you eat, the hunger you get. These two things are rare now, and I didn’t expect there are any in this store. As for cold medicine, I didn’t see a doctor, so can I take this thing casually? It seems that this fat woman is really a little impatient with them.
Faced with the anger of the fat woman, Zhang Yang remained calm, but Ji Wenyu was still a little thin-skinned. Forget it, if you don’t know anything like a country woman, you’d better buy it casually. After thinking about it again and again, Ji Wenyu asked the fat woman to take a box of hawthorn pills.
Ji Wenyu took this hawthorn pill when he was a child. Although it was a medicine, it was a rare snack for children born in that era. Now that I see it again, I want to buy it to try it. Moreover, he has a little indigestion these days. He just had a big fish and meat at the house of Village Chief Hu. This hawthorn pill can help digestion.
Seeing that the bucket of hawthorn pills did not exceed the shelf life and the price was not expensive, Ji Wenyu bought them so that the fat woman in the convenience store would not say anything bad.
After leaving the convenience store, Ji Wenyu tore open the packaging of the hawthorn balls and handed them to Zhang Yang two. He also peeled one of them and threw them into his mouth. It was sour and sweet, but it still tasted the same, but unfortunately he couldn't find the feeling he felt when he was a child.
After walking a few more steps, Zhang Yang suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh, I almost forgot that compass has not been returned to others."
Compass? Didn’t I specifically tell Principal Fan to take it back to someone at the end of the line? How could I forget it? You kid didn’t do it on purpose, right? I deliberately hid the compass and gave myself a chance to contact the Tian Xiaomiao again?
Seeing that Ji Wenyu didn't believe it, Zhang Yang explained: "When I went back in the afternoon, a teacher asked Principal Fan to have something to do, so he put the compass on my luggage and asked me to find time to send it. As a result, President Wang came to us to dig a hole, and then went to Village Chief Hu's house for dinner, and forgot about this."
Ji Wenyu said, "What are you waiting for? Go quickly. If you send it late, you should worry. By the way, it's not convenient to go alone at night. I'll save you and accompany you for the hardship."
After hearing Ji Wenyu's words, Zhang Yang smiled sarcastically. He was as dark as a crow in the world. He pointed to Ji Wenyu for a long time and didn't know what to say. So, two young men with bad thoughts turned around and walked towards Principal Fan's home.
When passing by the General Temple, Ji Wenyu handed the hawthorn ball box in his hand to Zhu Laomiao, who was enjoying the cool air at the door, and asked him to help him deliver it back, so it was not convenient to take the things to other people's houses.
Principal Fan’s home is not far from here. The two of them first came to Principal Fan’s home, took the compass, and then asked for the address. Then they went out and walked towards Tian Xiaomiao’s home.
Tian Xiaomiao's home is far away. At the end of the village, it is at least more than 300 meters away from Principal Fan's home. Fortunately, the moon is bright in the sky, so the road is not difficult to walk. More than ten minutes later, they arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.
The old-fashioned earth-breasted wall may be because it was too old and some places had collapsed, but were blocked with branches, which was extremely simple. The courtyard was not big, and you could barely see the situation in the yard in the moonlight, two trees, a small vegetable field, a pigpen and a cowshed in the corner, and occasionally you could hear a few sounds of pigs and cows.
A trace of light came faintly from the room, and someone should be at home. Zhang Yang called out a few times outside, and Tian Xiaomiao and two other figures walked out of the room.
Tian Xiaomiao turned on the electric lights in the corridor and there were dim lights in the yard. Only then did Ji Wenyu see clearly that the other two figures were a middle-aged man and a little boy.
The little boy had a pretty face, about twelve or thirteen years old, a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a clear and slim face, and a little slick. He was dragging one leg behind him when he was walking, and seemed to have suffered some injuries. At the dinner table, he heard from Village Chief Hu that Tian Xiaomiao had a father Tian Qi and a younger brother Tian Xiaoshu at home. The two of them looked a little similar to Tian Xiaomiao, and they probably were them.
Seeing that there were two young men who were completely unaware of him coming to the door outside, the middle-aged man's face suddenly became a little ugly. He looked at the two suspiciously and said, "What are you doing?"
Yes, no matter who is an adult, he would not be happy to see a young man coming to his house to find his daughter at night. Zhang Yang and Ji Wenyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It seems that they don't welcome them. This time they really miscalculated. I forgot that there are other people in Tian Xiaomiao's family. If I had known it, I would have come again tomorrow.
Tian Xiaomiao seemed to see the embarrassment of the two and hurriedly said, "Are you here to send a compass? Dad, they are not outsiders, they are engineers who come to build a school for our village."
Tian Qi's vigilance was reduced a little, but there was no other villagers' enthusiasm when facing the guests. He stood at the door of his house, looked down at Zhang Yang and Ji Wenyu and said, "Are you here to return the compass?"
"Yes, the compass has been used up long ago, but we were busy in the afternoon, so we found an opportunity to send it to us." Zhang Yang said with a tough bullet.
Tian Qi looked up and down at Zhang Yang and Ji Wenyu for a long time, then looked at their empty hands, and said in disgust: "You used my compass for a whole afternoon, right? Just sent it back like that?"
What else can I do if I don’t send it back like this? I just used a worthless compass. Do you still have to buy a generous gift for you to send it? This is a school for the village, and we just work for the boss. We can’t pay for it out of our own pocket, right?
Zhang Yang didn't expect that the problem would come from the compass he sent. He didn't ask Principal Fan to deliver it himself in the afternoon, so that this would not happen. Because he was a stranger, Tian Qi dared to speak like this. If he met Principal Fan and Village Chief Hu, he would probably be spurted out by them.
"This..." Even though Zhang Yang was so worldly, he didn't know what to say at this time.
