Chapter 640 - 629: Caring
Ms.Fang quickly prepared the meal and then squeezed into the hall to join the fun.
Ms.Qian accepted all the gifts, sending people off, "Alright, alright, it’s too late today. We’ll distribute the items tomorrow, and discuss things then. Let Four and the others eat first. Lixue, first thing tomorrow morning, you go to the county town and close the shop for the day, so your mother and the others can come back."
Zhou Lixue agreed.
Everyone moved the items into the main room, while Ms.Qian took Manbao to have dinner. Manbao said, "Mother, we ate some dry food on the road."
"Dry food is cold, and by now you must be hungry again. You need to eat something, your fourth sister-in-law made noodles for you."
Manbao complied.
Old Zhou and Ms.Qian sat by, watching her eat the noodles. Just three months apart, Manbao had changed quite a bit.
Mainly, she had become paler, her fair complexion resembling the white jade on Young Master Bai’s waist, and her cheeks seemed fuller, she had grown taller...
Ms.Qian watched her with satisfaction and asked softly, "Every time your fourth brother comes back, he says you’ve been studying with Mr. Zhuang and learning medicine at Jishi Hall, but when I ask him for more details, he doesn’t know. Tell me, what have you learned?"
Manbao then enthusiastically shared some interesting events, with stories from the pharmacy being mentioned the most.
There was no choice, as every day, every patient who came for a consultation had a story, and there were always some memorable incidents.
