Modern Couples' Life in Women's Society

Chapter 86 Lycium barbarum
"What's your wife's name?" Xiao Tong asked with a frown. Does everyone know about her travels?
"My name is Li Yu, and I'm the chef in the kitchen." The man agreed, with an uncontrollable pride on his face, and then he said anxiously, "I'm from the Wangfu Zhuangzi. If I have something urgent to find my wife, please help me." , there is a master inside, I am afraid of collision."

"...Qingsheng, go and help me." Xiao Tong was a little speechless, but still quickly ordered, judging by the man's expression, he must be in a hurry.

"Yes" Qingsheng suppressed a smile and quickly entered the teahouse. The man repeated his thanks, but his eyes were already chasing Qingsheng.Xiao Tong chuckled, and turned his gaze to the group of children.

The children scrambled to look at the carriage first, but most of them surrounded Xiao Tong and the others. The merchants who were driving the carriage stared at them, and the children ran yelling, throwing the branches in their hands along the way.Xiao Tong glanced at the branches on the ground casually, and there were some red fruits on the branches.

Hmm...somewhat familiar...Xiao Tong thought, no, familiar, that fruit!
Xiao Tong's expression changed, and he quickly walked to the discarded branch, picked it up, carefully observed the red fruit on it, looked at it, smelled it, peeled it off carefully, and looked at it carefully, some couldn't believe it.

The eyes of everyone driving the carriage followed Xiao Tong's gaze, full of puzzlement.Those children also noticed Xiao Tong's actions, they gathered around and looked at Xiao Tong with puzzled eyes.

Xiao Tong showed a smile, and asked the children watching in the most affectionate voice she thought, "Where did this branch come from?"

"Drag over there..."

"Drag on the hillside..." The answer was a little uneven.

"Are there many trees like this?" Xiao Tong asked again.

"A lot, a lot, it's all over the mountain." This time the answer was a bit complete.

"Don't the adults scold you for dragging you?" This is a good thing, why would you let a child drag you at will?
"Ha ha…"

"Hee hee..." The children laughed together and shouted "No"

"Miss, what's the matter?" Qingsheng walked quickly to Xiao Tong and asked, followed by a middle-aged man and a fat woman who was about the same age. The woman should be the chef Li Yu. The middle-aged man's face was full of surprise and fear , not daring to look at Xiao Tong.

"I've seen Miss before, so I'm a slut and ignorant, and I offended Miss, please punish her." Before Xiao Tong could speak, Li Yu knelt down on his knees and said in a trembling voice, and the man did the same thing, prostrate on the ground.Seeing this scene, the children watching hurriedly moved away from Xiao Tong's surroundings, children are always the most sensitive.

Xiao Tong took a step back, avoiding the big gift, but her expression was a bit ugly, she was really not used to this, "Get up, get up and talk."

"Nujia..." Li Yu didn't listen, and continued to kneel, wanting to make an apology, but before he thought about it, Qingsheng pulled her up forcefully, and motioned for her to help the man up.

Li Yu didn't dare to disobey, and obeyed obediently, but she was a little puzzled. She didn't have many chances to see Xiao Tong, and she had only seen him a few times from a distance before.

"What's going on? Qingsheng" Xiao Tong was relieved to see them standing up, and hurriedly asked Qingsheng.

"It was Li Yu's father who started to get sick last night. When he woke up today, his condition suddenly worsened. He had to send it to the hospital but had no money. Her husband came to try his luck and see if he could stop his wife. That's why I knew that the wife-master would go to Maoling with the young lady, and I guessed that the lunch would be served in this teahouse, but I didn't know anything else." Qing Sheng answered carefully, and she still knew what Xiao Tong wanted to know.

"Well, Li Yu, do you have a solution?"

"Yes, there is a farmer in Zhuangzi who borrowed a sum of money from their family. Now they should have some spare money, so they can go to their family to ask for medical treatment for their father." Li Yu replied hurriedly.

"That's good, Li Yu, do you recognize this tree?" Xiao Tong handed the branch to Li Yu.

"I know, I know, there are many trees in Zhuangzi, and this is the only tree on the hillside." Li Yu was puzzled but replied seriously.

"Okay, you guys wait first, I'll take you to Zhuangzi, and I have something to do." Xiao Tong quickly made a decision, leaving the two stunned, and brought Qingsheng back to the teahouse. A group of people in the teahouse were also preparing to come out. Seeing Xiao Tong walking quickly, he hurriedly quickened his pace, thinking that Xiao Tong was impatient to wait.

Never thought that Xiao Tong was going to act alone, and explained to the person in charge of this trip, let them go forward according to the plan, and waited for Xiao Tong to find them in the agreed inn after arriving in Maoling.

Xiao Tong's decision was met with fierce opposition, but the opposition was ineffective, because Xiao Tong was the master at this time, and the two bodyguards were also separated, Zigui followed Xiao Tong, and Ziqi was appointed to protect the safety of other personnel.Zigui Ziqi and others objected to be invalid and had no choice but to obey.

Afterwards, Xiao Tong took Qingsheng, Zigui, and Li Yu and hurried to Zhuangzi in a carriage, but the man who reported the letter had to go back to Zhuangzi on foot because he wanted to take the group of children with him.

Because this Zhuangzi is far away from Citong City, and because of geological reasons, the yield of what is planted is not high, and it is only enough for the people in the Zhuangzi to eat. Watching the father and two little daughters together.

The carriage drove fast, and arrived at Zhuangzi in a short while. Xiao Tong asked Li Yu to go to work by herself, but she got off the carriage and wandered around. Qingsheng and Zigui followed behind suspiciously, watching Xiao Tong keep looking around, according to Li Yu Follow the route at your fingertips, all the way to the hillside full of trees.

Saying it is a hillside is really a good description. Erythrina is more of a plain, and there are few hills. Real mountains are really rare.The hillside is full of dense or taunting bushes, scattered and disorganized. Except for the bright red fruit, there seems to be nothing to see.

But Xiao Tong quickly ran over to check it out. After watching for a while, Qingsheng and Zigui saw Xiao Tong smiling.

Can Xiao Tong not laugh?I was still a little uncertain just now, but now I am really sure, this is a wolfberry tree!

She just thought about it in the morning, the climate and terrain of Erythrina chinensis are a bit like the one in Ningxia, Shaanxi and Gansu. Now, looking at the soil and thinking about the climate, it is indeed suitable for growing wolfberry trees.Xiao Tong knew wolfberry because her father in her previous life was a doctor. Although she had not received orthodox education, she knew more about medicine than ordinary people. What's more, she had always taken over from her father. It is normal to have a desire for a career and to be interested in medicine.

And she can recognize the wolfberry that is still growing on the tree, not the finished product, because when she was in college, her best roommate was from Ningxia, and the wolfberry in Ningxia is famous all over the country. The roommate went to Ningxia.During the summer vacation, goji berries have entered the harvest season, and she helped her roommate's family harvest a lot of goji berries.It was a hectic but happy holiday. Although I gave up my summer job, I gained a lot.
