After riding a carriage for more than two days, they arrived at a small village this afternoon. The village was very remote, but not dilapidated.
An Ran stood in a small courtyard and looked around. Sister Chen said: "Grandma, what on earth is this place? Why did the young master come here?"
An Ran shook his head, "I don't know either, but the uncle said that Xiao Shitou will definitely come."
As soon as they arrived at the place, Dashan pulled Ding Changhe aside, wondering what the two of them were talking about.
An Ran took Sister Chen and was about to take down the luggage from the carriage. Ding Changhe saw it and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll let Dashan take it later."
An Ran said: "I'll take the box with the medicine in, and let Dashan carry the heavy stuff."
An Ran made the hemostatic medicine that Ding Changhe needed. When he came out this time, Ding Changhe asked An Ran to take it all with him. ?.?????.???
Ding Changhe found the medicinal seeds. An Ran mixed them several times based on his impressions and wasted a lot before he mixed them to his satisfaction.
For this reason, An Ran went to the drugstore to ask Mr. Liu, the shopkeeper, and got a lot of advice.
Dashan moved all the luggage into the house, and Ding Changhe walked to Anran and said, "Put your luggage away. I have to go out to do something and I may not come back until tomorrow."
An Ran was not happy for a moment. Why, after riding a carriage for two days and throwing himself into a small village, he walked away.
Before An Ran could complain, Ding Changhe said again: "I just found a woman. She will come over soon to help with cooking and cleaning. If you don't know anything, just ask her. I will come back after I finish the work and give me the hemostatic medicine. "
An Ran seemed to understand a little bit. He might want to find someone to test the effect of the medicine.
He handed the box containing the medicine to Ding Changhe from the table and said, "There are only so many, and there is also a gauze inside. Are you going to test the effect of this medicine?"
Ding Changhe smiled and said, "I've tried everything. I leave it to others. The main thing is to take care of other things and save me from bothering me during the New Year."
After picking up the things, Ding Changhe left the house, taking Da Shan and a young man who appeared out of nowhere, and rode away.
Sister Chen said: "Grandma, isn't the injury on your body not healed yet? Why are you still riding a horse?"
"Don't worry, he's not afraid of pain, just let him ride."
An Ran applied medicine to Ding Changhe every night, knowing that there was nothing wrong with the injury on his leg, but the injury on his back was not healed yet.
But in Ding Changhe's eyes, this is called injury?
Sister Chen put her things away and walked out of the house to look around.
There are three main rooms and two side rooms, which are all kept clean.
Sister Chen put the things away, came out with the teapot and said, "Grandma, I'm going to boil some water to drink. It's cold outside, so you can sit in the room first."
Sister Chen saw An Ran entering the house, took a look, and went to the kitchen.
An Ran entered the east bedroom and took out her and Ding Changhe's clothes first. He took out another package from the box, which was full of clothes and shoes made by An Ran for Xiao Shitou.
An Ran pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't know how much this kid had grown. He had been spending money on clothes and shoes since he was a child, and he didn't know if anyone outside took care of him.
But thinking about it makes my eyes sore.
At this moment, she heard someone talking outside the room. An Ran blinked and waited until the fog in her eyes dissipated before she walked out of the room.
Sister Chen walked in with women who were not tall and looked neat.
"Grandma, this is Aunt Zhang who came to help. She also brought us a lot of meat and vegetables. Aunt Zhang, this is my grandma."
Aunt Zhang took two steps forward with a kind smile on her face, "Hello, grandma."
An Ran smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, I'm going to trouble you in the next few days."
Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Grandma, don't be so polite. It's not troublesome for me to boil water for cooking. Grandma, you sit down first and I'll prepare it in the kitchen. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"It doesn't have to be too much trouble. Just do whatever is available."
"Well, I'll go first then."
After Aunt Zhang went out, Sister Chen poured a cup of tea for An Ran from the teapot, "Grandma, have a cup of hot tea first. I just looked and found that the kitchen is quite complete, but there isn't that much firewood."
An Ran glanced at the room and said, "It's all beds, and there's no need to burn a kang. Just cooking doesn't require so much firewood."
"I'm going to help in the kitchen. By the way, what is this place?"
An Ran smiled, she just wanted to ask Aunt Zhang, "Go ahead."
Aunt Zhang was very quick with her hands and feet. With the help of Sister Chen, she quickly cooked three dishes and brought a basin of soup to the main room.
Sister Chen asked Aunt Zhang to eat here, but Aunt Zhang refused. When An Ran saw that there were so many dishes, she and Sister Chen couldn't finish them, so she took a big bowl and gave Aunt Zhang some to take away.
"Grandma, I had dinner early today. The water in my pot is still warm. I'm so tired from the car ride all the way. I'm going to wash up after eating and rest early."
An Ran nodded, "Have you asked Aunt Zhang where this place is?"
"I asked, the people living here are quite mixed, it's called Dingjia Village. Does this have something to do with the uncle's family?"
"I don't know either. Forget it, I'll ask him directly when he comes back."
After eating and washing up, An Ran went back to the house. She felt uncomfortable after sitting in the car for two days, but this bed was not as comfortable as sleeping on the kang.
Mainly cold, no warmth from the kang.
The next morning, Sister Chen helped Aunt Zhang make breakfast, walked An Ran outside the yard, and looked along the road.
Upon taking a look, I realized that the village was mostly filled with elderly women and children, and most of the men were elderly or disabled.
