Qiao Nian ignored them and turned around and said to Aunt Chen casually, "I bought some things. They are all Chinese medicinal herbs. You can take them first. I will tell you how to use them at noon."
Although Chinese medicinal herbs such as ginseng and deer antler are nourishing, for people like Uncle Chen who have been bedridden for years, eating too much of them can have the opposite effect.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to dosage.
The same prescription, with different dosages, may have very different final effects.
The people of the Fu family had no idea about these things. They just bought these things from the pharmacy and ran over here eagerly.
A hint of coldness once again enveloped Qiao Nian's brows, but she didn't say much to Madam Fu in front of Aunt Chen.
"I'll help you pack up, and we'll go back first." Qiao Nian spoke in a very soft voice, at least not in the same tone as when she spoke to Mrs. Fu.
Aunt Chen watched the girl swiftly start to help her pack up the stall, and she didn't care what Madam Fu and the others wanted to do. She hurried over and stopped the girl, "No, Nian Nian, you sit aside and rest, I'll do it myself, I'll finish packing in no time."
"It's not like I haven't helped you collect before." Qiao Nian was quite natural. He dodged her hand, bent down to pick up a plastic stool and put them together, then quickly put away the chopstick box and so on.
She was not arrogant and acted very naturally, and she didn't seem to care about her image at all.
Fu Ge saw the girls pick up plastic stools one by one, put the overlapping plastic stools on the cart, and turned around to tidy up the simple wooden table.
He couldn't help but think of Qiao Chen.
Qiao Chen would never do these things, at least outside, she was like a delicate little princess who never had to do any housework. She was delicate and gentle, making people love her.
But as time goes by, he will get tired of this love and affection.
Sometimes he would discover that Qiao Nian was completely different from Qiao Chen, but at that time he didn’t think too much about it and was unwilling to admit that he was blind.
It was not until the end that he understood what everyone meant when they told him not to lose the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds. Mrs. Fu watched the girls pack up Aunt Chen's stall and anxiously said to Fu Ge, "Xiao Ge, what are you still standing there for?"
Fu Ge took a deep breath, and when the girl packed up her things and helped Aunt Chen push the tricycle to leave, he suddenly stopped in front of her. "Qiao Nian, I..."
"Step aside."
The girl looked at him with annoyance.
Fu Ge was unable to breathe for a moment again, but he took a deep breath to calm himself down, and with his still handsome face, he said to the girl with a focused gaze, "Qiao Nian, I want to treat you to a meal."
"… "
What
Qiao Nian narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows.
But in the blink of an eye, she smiled, the corners of her mouth raised wickedly and anxiously: "Fu Ge, are we familiar with each other?"
After she finished speaking, she felt it was quite boring.
Qiao Nian refused succinctly: "No, my boyfriend will mind."
Fu Ge's face changed after hearing her first sentence, and he looked even more embarrassed when he heard the second sentence. He had heard a little bit of the rumor in Tsinghua University, but he couldn't enter the circle in Beijing, so he could only hear some bits and pieces and couldn't know more.
He clenched his hands tightly at his side and lowered his voice: "Ye Wangchuan, he is your..."
Qiao Nian was frank and honest, without hiding anything or avoiding Aunt Chen, and readily admitted: "Ah, he is my boyfriend."
It was as if fireworks exploded in Fu Ge's mind, and after the brilliant display, there was nothing but a blank. His throat was dry and he had nothing to say!
