The vegetables were roasted quickly, and it didn’t take long for them to be cooked. Only the meat took some time. After Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Shen Yuxuan finished roasting the mutton skewers, chicken wings, and meat, they went to the lobby to sit and eat.
When the waiter saw that they had come to the lobby to eat, he quickly served each of them a small bowl of crystal clear, smooth, and tender jelly made from litchi only after they were done eating. It was mixed with sugar water and crushed ice. There was a small spoon in each of them. It was extremely sweet and delicious.
This was because Xue Sifu had instructed them to give the three of them iced jellies only after their meal. He was afraid that the three children would get stomach aches from mixing hot and cold food.
Before giving it to the guests, they would also ask if they wanted to mix hot and cold meals.
This barbecue was Jiang Yue and the others’ lunch. After lunch, they stayed in the shop until four in the afternoon. Seeing that the weather was getting cooler, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan decided to go home. Shen Yuxuan also planned to return to the clinic.
Xue Sifu hailed a carriage to send them off.
Naturally, they had to pa.s.s by the Shen family’s medical center on their way back. In fact, the store was not far from the Shen family’s medical center. It was on the same street and not too far away. However, Shen Yuxuan still followed Jiang Yue and Xue Yan into the carriage. He only got off the carriage when the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Shen family’s medical center.
When they saw Shen Yuxuan carrying the small medicine box into the clinic safely, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan put down the curtain and asked the coachman to drive them home.
In the Shen family clinic, Shen Yuxuan ran to his fathers consultation room as soon as he came back. He thought that his father was giving consultation in the consultation room, but who knew that there was no one in the consultation room?
“Where’s my father?” he asked.
One of the children said, “Zhen Dalang from the neighboring county came. He said that his mother was very ill and he didn’t dare to move her. Once he moved her, she would only scream in pain. He couldn’t bring his mother to see him, so he could only ask him to go over.
“It sounded like his mother’s life was at stake. He insisted on going even though the journey was long. Moreover, Zhen Dalangs father once studied medicine with Doctor Shen, but he died early.
“Having such a deep history convinced Doctor Shen to follow Zhen Dalane.’
“So Zhen Dalang invited him to go. Alright, when will he be back?”
“When he left, he said that he probably wouldn’t be able to come soon. If Zhen Dalangs mother is in bad condition, he would stay longer. Da Yong went with him. If there are any changes, Da Yong will let us know.”
“Does my mother know?”
“When Doctor Shen left, he sent someone home to inform her.’
“Then you guys take care of the clinic. I’m going home.”
“Yes, sir.”
After returning from town, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not let the coachman send them to their doorstep. Instead, they got off the carriage at the village entrance and let the coachman go back.
It was not until the carriage left that Xue Yan led Jiang Yue into the village.
As soon as they entered the village, they saw several people sitting under the big tree in front of Xiulan’s courtyard. Some were twisting gra.s.s ropes, some were mending clothes, and some were doing nothing but talking.
“l think it’s true, my family bought the seeds from the shop in town and planted them on the wasteland. The harvest in the first half of the year was quite good.. It was better than the harvest of things planted on good land in previous years…”
