Marry a rough man!I became the stepmother of the soft and cute dumpling

Chapter 42 Encountering a Mysterious Man

Uncle An's efficiency was faster than An Xiaoxiao thought. Before noon, Uncle An knocked on her door, "Girl, I, open the door."

An Xiaoxiao rubbed her tense forehead, shook off the complicated dreams that remained in her mind all night, put on some clothes and opened the door.As soon as he opened the door, Second Uncle An frowned and scolded, "What does it look like!"

What's wrong with me?An Xiaoxiao was stunned, looking at herself and Uncle An.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, I'll wait for you in the backyard." Second Uncle An quickly finished a few words, then gave her a reproachful look, turned around and left.

Help, what kind of fatherly love is this!An Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, not understanding why Uncle An's attitude towards her changed so much overnight.

After she finished washing and changing her clothes, Uncle An was already sitting at the wooden table in the backyard smoking a cigarette. It looks soft and delicious.

"Girl, come over for dinner." Second Uncle An knocked off the cigarette ash, showing dissatisfaction, "Why don't you eat in the morning..."

"Eat, eat, eat!" An Xiaoxiao sat down quickly, stuffed the steamed bun into her mouth, but choked on her throat because she ate too fast, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pour down the rice paste, only to be relieved.

Uncle An frowned and said nothing.

"Second Uncle, smoke less, it's not good for your health." An Xiaoxiao hammered her chest hard a few times, barely swallowed the food in her mouth, and then said: "If others ask too much, they will easily get the smell of cigarettes." Cough."

Uncle An was even more displeased now, he snorted heavily, and slapped the pipe on the table.

"The shop has already been found. It is the second shop from the east to the west of the village. Fifty cash per month, use it as you like." Seeing that An Xiaoxiao was almost full, he reached out and took out a notebook and handed it to her, saying: "This It contains the items I listed, you can see if it fits."

"So cheap?" An Xiaoxiao widened her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Second Uncle, I'm not short of money, so don't bully others."

"Talking nonsense!" Second Uncle An was so angry that he slapped his palms and nearly overturned the table. An Xiaoxiao sighed and secretly tried to hold on.

An Xiaoxiao coaxed Second Uncle An a few words in a soft voice, and when he saw his complexion turned dark, he opened the book and looked through it carefully.

This book carefully lists the materials needed to open a pharmacy. Each item clearly states the purpose and required expenses, followed by a detailed timetable, including preparation time, required personnel, etc.Uncle An wrote everything he could think of on it, and even included the transportation of medicinal materials and the cost of hiring a doctor that An Xiaoxiao needed to consider.

An Xiaoxiao was more and more surprised as she watched, and she was amazed in her heart.

This is not something that an ordinary farmer can make at all, and Jiang Chao really did not recommend the wrong person.

She didn't expect Uncle An to be able to write at all, and his writing was not bad at all.

It is considered good for ordinary farmers to be able to read, not to mention that they need to write with a pen.

An image flashed in An Xiaoxiao's mind, and he suddenly thought of the pen and ink he saw in Uncle An's room yesterday.

Ordinary peasant families always keep pens and ink at home?A trace of doubt flashed in her heart, and An Xiaoxiao's eyes revealed the meaning of inquiry.

"For medicinal materials, I can borrow an ox cart and go to the town to buy medicinal materials every few days, so that the transportation fee can be saved." Uncle An didn't notice the small change in An at all, and subconsciously reached out to the table He paused for a moment, then shrank back, and said, "The wooden table and wooden cabinet can be moved from my farmhouse, and I don't use it on weekdays, and it can save money here."

"Second Uncle An, you can't help it. You have to rest from farming on weekdays." An Xiaoxiao shook her head and refused.

"We can't grow anything in this land. It's one season a year, so we have more free time."

Uncle An's words made An Xiaoxin agitated, but she didn't show it on her face, she just continued to answer: "When the pharmacy first opened, there might only be you and a doctor. When it is stable, I will send an apprentice over. Mr. Accountant..."

"Don't be so troublesome." Uncle An waved his hand, "You are responsible for telling me where to purchase medicinal materials, and where to pick up the doctor. I will arrange the rest."

"Do you need to rent another room for the doctor?" Second Uncle An seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "It's not easy for the doctor outside the village to go back on weekdays. How often do you go back for him on weekdays, seven days?"

"I made an agreement with Jiang Chao. He has a back room vacant in the backyard of the inn, which can be used by the doctor. Five days off and two days off." An Xiaoxiao answered Uncle An's question with a smile, took out a money bag from her arms and handed it to the doctor. over him.

Uncle An, who was still thinking about it, straightened his face and pushed the money bag back, "What is this for?"

"I'm going back in a few days, and there are still many things that Second Uncle An needs to take care of. You take these first, and when the pharmacy is stable, you can return the extra money to me."

An Xiao's novel was so earnest, Second Uncle An barely softened his expression, and put the money bag into his arms.

After the two agreed on all the details, after Second Uncle An took her to see the shop, An Xiaoxiao went to the farmhouse to give Second Sister An an injection, and left with peace of mind after seeing that she had finished drinking the medicine.

"The pharmacy hasn't opened yet, so you have to work harder to collect herbs around. When the pharmacy opens, you can grab Second Aunt An's medicine directly in the store." An Xiaoxiao said worriedly: "I'll go Finally, don’t stop this prescription, just drink it as water after you boil it every day. You can drink it even if you have nothing to do.

"Understood." Second Uncle An waved his hand and sent An Xiaoxiao away.

Finally finished a big thing on her mind, An Xiaoxiao finally had the leisure to wander the streets, and this time she walked again to the places that she didn't have time to look at last time.

In all fairness, the environment of Anjia Village is not bad, it is a clean place surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Along the way, An Xiaoxiao met villagers who were either downcast or depressed. Even the children on the side of the road were unusually quiet, just sitting obediently beside the house in a daze, neither crying nor making noise.

The sour emotion in her chest surged up again uncontrollably, An Xiaoxiao frowned, covered her chest and sighed.

Isn't the original owner a little too sentimental?

As the sun gradually set, An Xiaoxiao casually found a small restaurant to barely deal with a bowl, threw the broken silver in her arms to the smoking boss, turned a corner, and walked towards the west of the village.

Get one other thing done before you go.

A black shadow fell on the house with the highest eaves at the west end of the village.He bent down and looked into the house, and got into the house along the window.

someone!

An Xiaoxiao was still rummaging for something in the closet, when she suddenly noticed that there was an extra person, she made a quick decision, and immediately slid to retreat out of the window.The visitor was also taken aback, stretched out his arm, and was about to clamp her arm, An Xiaoxiao turned around and joined hands with him.

The two wrestled with each other for a few moves. An Xiaoxiao realized that the other party had no intention of hurting anyone. She stepped back and opened the distance. With a lift of her palm, a silver light flew past the other party's scalp, forcing him to take a few steps back. .An Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to flip out of the window, a few ups and downs, and jumped a few feet away in the blink of an eye.

An Xiaoxiao hid in the dark and walked towards the inn, touched the mask that was almost removed, and raised her eyebrows.

This Anjia Village is interesting.
