Chapter 62: Planting Medicinal Herbs in Space
Sun Kang smiled throughout the entire process, never growing tired or impatient, patiently answering every question Zhao Zhitong had. Even when she asked the same question multiple times, he still patiently explained it to her.
"Grandfather! Grandfather!"
At this point, Zhao Zhitong, holding a freshly dug herb, ran towards Sun Kang, proudly saying, "Grandfather, look what I dug up! I recognize this. This is Ge Gen."
Sun Kang put the harvested herbs into his basket, smiled, and nodded. "That’s correct. Do you remember the annotations about Ge Gen in *Essence of Medicinal Properties*?"
Zhao Zhitong nodded her little head, reciting in a childish voice, "I remember, I remember. It’s cold in nature. The book says, ’It cures muscles and relieves the exterior; Ge Gen is the first choice, followed by Chai Hu.’"
As Sun Kang stroked his beard, he became even more satisfied with his granddaughter. At such a young age, she could recite it and accurately recall it from memory. Her talent was indeed high.
In the end, he sighed with emotion. "Young girl, why weren’t you born a boy? Sigh!"
Zhao Zhitong tilted her head and asked, "Why does Grandfather say that? I don’t want to be a boy. Boys aren’t clean; they stink, love to have runny noses, and are just little snotty bugs."
The stinky, snotty-nosed boy she mentioned was none other than Zhao Yue, who always liked to go against her.
Sun Kang was momentarily stunned, then burst into hearty laughter. "Right, right. Girls are good too, girls are good too."
