My village can't be like this

Chapter 649 Send
By the afternoon, Zhang An had spent most of the day and had already completed three windows, and the fourth one was about to be completed.

And I don't know when little Siqi ran over, frowned and asked in a hurry.

"Dad, when are we going to Aunt Sissi's house?"

Zhang An couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. His son was good in every way except that he was too greedy.

In the past, Yan Qian would not only come to play with him often, but would also often take him to her home.

And every time I went there, if there were any delicious snacks at home, Mei Jingya and Yan Qian, the mother and daughter, would take them out and feed them to the little one.

After a few visits, little Siqi knew that when he went to his aunt Xixi's house, there would be endless snacks to eat.

So ever since Yan Qian came over to invite him yesterday, the little guy has been thinking about it and has never forgotten it.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there right away. Go call mom first."

Seeing his son asking the same question several times throughout the afternoon, and seeing that it was already four or five in the afternoon, Zhang An finished the window in his hand and prepared to go over.

Because Yan Qian's family is not from the village and is not very close to the villagers, the meal will not be too late.

As a guest, you naturally have to go earlier and not make others wait or call you again.

Zhang An returned to his room, changed his clothes that were covered in sawdust, washed them briefly, and went downstairs with the wooden box he had prepared last night.

At this moment, little Siqi was already holding his mother's hand, waiting in the yard.

"Is this the gift you prepared for Sissi? Let me see what it is."

Su Ying looked at the wooden box that her man was holding with one hand. She was very curious about what was inside and wanted to take it and open it to take a look.

"No, this is a medicinal herb prepared for Yan Qian's treatment. It's something you really don't like, so don't open it."

Seeing his wife reaching out her hand, Zhang An quickly took it away and explained.

Although he had already dealt with the centipede in the box when it was in the space, its ferocious look still existed.

Su Ying has always been afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants. If she saw a centipede that was more than one meter long, Zhang An was worried that she would be so scared that she wouldn't be able to sleep for a long time.

"Oh, then I won't watch it."

Although women are very curious, when Su Ying heard Zhang An say this, she gave up the idea and immediately withdrew her hand without even looking at the wooden box in Zhang An's hand.

When Zhang An was studying medicine with Zhang Yixing, she also learned from him.

She often saw this when Zhang An was handling various medicinal materials, and she knew that Chinese medicinal materials were not just some herbs. At least they included all the snakes, insects, rats and ants that she was afraid of.

Moreover, she also knew that Zhang Yixing had prescribed an extremely rare prescription for Yan Qian, and few of the medicinal ingredients in it were normal.

"By the way, don't mention this matter when you go to Xixi's house later, especially in front of Aunt Mei and Xixi, because I will give this thing to Uncle Yan separately."

Seeing that Su Ying seemed to have guessed something, Zhang An quickly gave her a warning.

"Yeah, I know."

Su Ying immediately nodded to show that she understood. She knew that Zhang An was afraid that Yan Qian and her daughter would be frightened after knowing it.

"Dad, Mom, it's almost time, let's go over there."

Then Zhang An called his parents at home because Yan Qian came over and invited their family yesterday.

"Xiao An, you guys take Qiqi with you. Your dad and I won't go."

After hearing this, Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo smiled and shook their heads. If they were neighbors in the village, they might go and join in the fun.

But if they had to go to Yan Qian's house, they didn't really want to go.

Although the two families have a good relationship, the Yan family is different from other neighbors after all, so they still feel uncomfortable when they go there.

"Well, Qiqi, say goodbye to grandpa and grandma."

Zhang An knew clearly what his parents were thinking, so he didn't force it.

"Grandpa, grandma, Qiqi will be back soon."

When little Siqi heard what his father said, he immediately ran to the two elders and acted like a good boy.

"Okay, okay, go now, remember to be obedient and don't act naughty."

Wang Fang rubbed her grandson's hair, her face full of love for the little guy.

When Zhang An and his family of three arrived at the Dongli courtyard, Yan Qian was already waiting at the door.

"Qiqi, come quickly."

Seeing little Siqi, Yan Qian immediately squatted on the ground and waved at the little guy.

"Happy birthday, Aunt Sissi."

Little Siqi broke away from his mother's hand, ran to Yan Qian, and actually said something seriously.

"Um, thank you Qiqi. Here, I'll give you something delicious."

The little girl obviously didn't expect Xiao Siqi to say this to her, and she was visibly stunned.

But after she realized what was happening the next second, she immediately became happy. Because of her physical condition, her family had always celebrated her birthday for her since she was a child.

No one other than her family has ever said happy birthday to her, so little Siqi was definitely the first one to say that.

Then she immediately took out some beef cubes made of beef jerky from her pocket and handed them to the little guy as a return gift.

"Sissi, happy birthday."

After Zhang An and Su Ying walked over, he added another sentence.

Zhang An still held the wooden box behind his back, intending to give it directly to Yan Peifeng later.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang An and Sister Su Ying."

The little girl was very happy to receive blessings from three people on her birthday at once. This was something she had never dared to imagine before.

"Sister Su Ying, did you teach Qiqi to say that?"

Yan Qian knew that although little Siqi was very smart, he couldn't have known the words to wish her a happy birthday on his own. He must have been taught by someone else.

"Yeah, I told him once when we were at home, but I didn't expect he would remember it."

Sure enough, Su Ying smiled and nodded.

"Then let's go, let's go inside first. By the way, aren't uncle and aunt here yet?"

After getting the answer, the little girl's smile grew larger. She took Xiao Siqi, Zhang An and Su Ying home, and also asked about Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo who were not there.

"Several villagers were visiting at home, so they couldn't come."

Zhang An made an excuse and said that he would definitely not tell them directly that his parents didn't come because they were feeling uncomfortable.

The little girl didn't doubt it, because when she went to Zhang An's house before, people from the village often came to visit.

"Zhang An and Xiaoying are here. Come and sit down. The food will be ready soon."

Mei Jingya and Yan Peifeng saw Zhang An and his family come in and hurried to greet them.

Today is their baby daughter’s birthday, but they only invited Zhang An’s family to come.

It’s not that their family has a bad relationship with the neighbors nearby. On the contrary, they get along very well with each other on weekdays. It’s just that Yan Qian’s situation does not allow it, so no one else was invited. It’s naturally best if one fewer person knows about it.

However, Zhang An's family was not included in this, because Zhang An really helped a lot with Yan Qian's illness, and they would definitely not forget it. Speaking of which, they also went to Sanqing Temple to invite Zhang Yihang, but the old man liked quietness, and except for Zhang An's family, he basically didn't invite anyone else.

The one busy in the kitchen at the moment is Yan Qian's nanny, because although Mrs. Mei Jingya knows some cooking skills, they are not many.

In order to take care of Yan Qian, after they settled down here, their family called the nanny over.

Seeing Mei Jingya going in and out to help the nanny, Su Ying was not idle either and took the initiative to help, while Yan Qian was responsible for taking the little guy to play in the yard.

So only Zhang An and Yan Peifeng were left in the living room.

"Uncle Yan, let's go to your study."

Zhang An raised the wooden box in his hand and said to Yan Peifeng.

"This... Could this be..."

As soon as Yan Peifeng saw the box in Zhang An's hand, his eyes widened immediately. If he hadn't considered his family, he might have asked out loud.

Seeing him like this, Zhang An smiled and nodded at him a few times to show his affirmation.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the study and talk."

Seeing Zhang An like this, Yan Peifeng's shock turned into surprise, and he took Zhang An to the study on the second floor.

"Zhang An, have you really found it?"

As soon as he entered the study and closed the door, Yan Peifeng couldn't wait to ask.

"Uncle Yan, I have accomplished my mission. I asked many friends in the mountains for help and finally found it. Three hundred and two legs, with one extra pair."

Zhang An did not pretend to take credit for it. He just opened the wooden box and said.

"Good, very good, very good, it's a big, beautiful thing."

Yan Peifeng had no doubt about Zhang An's words. At this moment, there was no room for anything else in his eyes.

In fact, there is nothing beautiful about this pitch-black centipede. What he meant was the new life his daughter was about to have.

"One, two, three, four, five..."

Afterwards, Yan Peifeng's attention was completely focused on the big guy lying quietly in the wooden box. Then the sound of counting began. Seeing this, Zhang An did not make a sound to disturb him and waited quietly for him to finish counting.

"Two hundred and ninety-eight, two hundred and ninety-nine, three hundred..."

By the time the number three hundred came out, although he hadn't finished counting, Pei Feng's voice was already trembling and tears of joy were streaming down his square face.

"Zhang An, our family has made note of this."

Wiping away the tears in his eyes, Yan Peifeng bowed solemnly to Zhang An.

The daughter has suffered from this strange disease since she was young, and her family has been moving around for more than ten years without any hope.

Fortunately, God has a good vision and they were guided and finally found the old Taoist priest Zhang Yixing.

Then there was indeed a glimmer of hope, but the things required in the prescription were not ordinary at all.

Yan Peifeng was indeed full of hope at the beginning, but later through his search, he understood what it meant that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

At the same time, he also knows that there are still many things in this world that cannot be solved by money alone.

At this moment, Zhang An's ability to find this thing has gone beyond normal kindness and is completely worthy of his promise.

"Uncle Yan, you are too polite. Although our two families have not known each other for a long time, Xixi is like a sister to me. I also hope that she can get out of this suffering as soon as possible."

Naturally, Zhang An would not accept Yan Peifeng's gift. He quickly leaned aside and helped him up.

"Okay, I won't say any more Uncle Yan. We still have plenty of time in the future."

Seeing Zhang An like this, Yan Peifeng did not make any promises. He knew that sometimes actions are more practical than words.

"Xixi's father, Xiao An, stop talking and come down to prepare for dinner."

Just then, Mei Jingya's voice came from outside.

After hearing this, the two realized that a long time had passed.

"Okay, here we come."

After agreeing, Yan Peifeng opened a safe in front of Zhang An and put the wooden box that Zhang An had sent him into it.

For him, this is his daughter's hope and he cannot ignore it.

Although Zhang An had been to Yan Peifeng's study several times, it was the first time he knew there was a safe here.

There wasn't a lot of money in it like in the movies. There wasn't even anything inside. It was completely empty.

"Come on, Xiao An, let's go eat. Let's have a good drink tonight."

After putting the wooden box away, Yan Peifeng took out a jar of wine from the cabinet next to him and said to Zhang An.

"Okay, then I will risk my life to accompany you today and make sure Uncle Yan has a good time drinking."

Zhang An was not a person who would easily lose interest. Knowing that Yan Peifeng was very happy, he agreed very readily.

This jar of wine is not big, it looks like it weighs only a little over one or two kilograms, but the mouth of the jar is sealed very well, and the body of the jar shows signs of age.

Zhang An knew that this wine was probably an antique-level treasure.

When they got downstairs, Yan Peifeng called Zhang An to the table and put the wine on it.

"Her dad, why did you take this out today?"

Looking at the old and inconspicuous wine jar, Mei Jingya asked in surprise.

Others may not know, but she knows it very clearly in her heart. This wine was obtained by chance when Yan Peifeng was young, but he is older than the two of them combined.

The husband of their family had said at the beginning that he would wait until his daughter's wedding day before taking it out.

Unexpectedly, it was taken out today. Mei Jingya felt that something big must have happened today.

"Hahaha, today is Xixi's twentieth birthday, of course we have to be happy."

Yan Peifeng looked at the look his wife gave him and immediately said something with a smile.

Then when he approached Mei Jingya, he whispered something.

When Mei Jingya heard this, her eyes widened instantly and she glanced towards Zhang An.

Although Yan Peifeng spoke very quietly and no one else heard it, Zhang An heard some of it from a distance.

Even if he couldn't hear it, he could roughly know what Yan Peifeng said.

So when he saw the look Aunt Mei gave him, he immediately nodded and smiled back.

"Xiao An, all this time, thanks to your family's help, come, uncle will toast you a glass."

Yan Peifeng opened the wine, and since Su Ying didn't drink, he only poured one glass for the two of them, and then said.

When Mei Jingya heard this, she also poured a glass of wine and raised it up.

"Uncle Yan and Aunt Mei, please don't be polite to me."

Of course Zhang An knew that these words not only referred to the daily help, but also the big guy that had just been delivered.
