Chapter 630 Gifts

Man Bao gave away all the gifts he bought, even the youngest five and six had gifts, a pair of particularly beautiful tiger-toed shoes, and some small toys.

The whole old Zhou family is as happy as Chinese New Year.

Xiaoqian and Zhou Xi soon came back with Datou and Daya, and Man Bao threw himself into Xiaoqian's arms, "Sister-in-law, I miss you so much."

Zhou Xi who was on the side couldn't help but nodded her head and thought, "Don't you only want to be a big sister, not a big sister?"

"Think about it, think about it, big sister, are you taking the medicine that I asked the fourth brother to bring you?"

Zhou Xi blushed slightly, nodded, and asked in a low voice, "Does that medicine really work?"

"Of course, that's a palace secret recipe."

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, the patient has to believe that it is useful.

Zhou Xi's eyes lit up. Although his fourth brother had also said this, it was more believable when Man Bao said it.

Man Bao's gifts to Xiao Qian's family were similar to those of the sisters-in-law, so today the old Zhou's family is very friendly and happy.

Even the jealous old Zhou Tou felt balanced after seeing that his sons lost a pair of shoe uppers compared to him.

Anyway, he is much better than his sons, isn't he?

Old Zhou said: "The selected day is the twelfth of June. I thought it would be good if you could come back on the tenth day of the lunar new year. Who knew you would come back on the sixth day."

Man Bao said: "Bai Shanchu's second-year senior high school entrance examination, we are going to come back after the examination, and there are only ten days of vacation in total."

Old Zhou asked, "He's going to school, so he follows the schedule. If you don't go to some government school, can't you take a few more days off with Mr. Zhuang?"

Zhou Zhoulang on the side said: "Father, besides Mr. Zhuang's, there is also the pharmacy. Now Manbao is very powerful. I asked the old shopkeeper Zheng. With the intelligence and talent of our family, Manbao will definitely be a very powerful man in the future." the doctor."

Zhou Zhoulang moved towards his father, and said, "Father, think about it, you are a very powerful doctor, when Man Bao returns to the county town to open a pharmacy..."

Old Zhou Tou was shocked, and immediately said: "Okay, Man Bao, you have to study hard. In fact, I think it is enough to learn characters from Mr. Zhuang. The most important thing is to learn a craft."

"Father, Mr. Zhuang knows a lot more than Mr. Ji," Man Bao said, "But don't worry, I will learn everything without delay."

She asked about Zhou Xi's marriage, "Eldest sister is about to get married, why do you still work in the shop?"

Old Zhou frowned, "She can't be free, and she won't listen to her when I tell her. What can we do?"

Zhou Xi is getting married for the second time this time, and she herself is not happy about it. Old Zhou Tou and Qian's are not very restrictive about her, and they don't plan to invite many people anyway.

Except for some relatives, only some relatives and good neighbors in the village will come to have a meal.

Lao Zhoutou and Qian Shi also took out some private houses to prepare a dowry for her, which was almost comparable to the dowry she had when she first got married.

People outside are very envious, but the people in Lao Zhou's family don't take it seriously, because judging from their current family background, this dowry is nothing.

So no one has an opinion.

The parents gave the dowry, and the brothers and sisters added more dowry, and there were more things.

For example, Zhou Dalang gave her a tael of silver, Zhou Zhoulang also used the money to build a cabinet for her, Zhou Zhoulang went up the mountain to cut trees, and paid a carpenter to build two cages...

Even Zhou Lijun knew that he wanted to give his aunt a quilt, let alone Da Ya and Da Tou, there are a lot of things piled up together.

Man Bao sent medicine and a handbook of assisted pregnancy, which was a booklet she wrote based on what Teacher Mo said.

Fearing that Zhou Xi didn't know some words, Man Bao read them one by one and explained them to her.

Seeing Man Bao with a tender face, Zhou Xi's whole face was on fire, how old is her younger sister...

Man Bao finished teaching Eldest Sister with an expressionless face, then stuffed the booklet into her arms and said, "Eldest Sister, this is my gift for you."

Zhou Xi coughed lightly and said, "Man Bao, you can also write me the prescription of the palace's secret recipe. In the future, you don't need to buy medicine for me from Yizhou City. I will buy it in the county town myself."

Man Bao said: "Elder Sister, you can stop taking that medicine. After taking the ones I caught for you, you are almost done. You can't take that medicine when you are officially expecting a child."

She thought for a while and said, "But it's fine if you want the prescription. I'll write it to you later, and you keep it. Maybe it can be a family heirloom in the future."

During the period of studying in the pharmacy, Man Bao realized how precious some secret recipes are, and some doctors may be able to gain a foothold in the world just by relying on a prescription.

So now she pays special attention to secret recipes, especially palace secret recipes and ancient secret recipes.

But Zhou Xi muttered, "I don't want such a family heirloom, I would rather not have it for future generations."

Man Bao heard it and nodded approvingly, "Isn't it, but if all wishes come true, then there will be no doctors in this world. So the preparations that should be made still need to be done."

Zhou Xi: ...

Man Bao had already memorized that prescription, after all, she had to grab the medicine herself the last two times.

Man Bao took out the prescription silently, dried the ink, handed it to Zhou Xi, and said: "Sister, you have to keep it."

Zhou Xi put it together with the booklet, nodded and said, "I know."

She still knows what to buy. Although she doesn't want to use this thing in the future, it is really rare.

Man Bao sat cross-legged on her bed, propped his chin and looked at her curiously, "Sister, don't you want to get married? Why did you agree to marry Guan Xin?"

Zhou Xi was silent for a while and then said, "Because he didn't underestimate me?"

"Huh?" Man Bao tilted his head and asked, "Who underestimated you?"

Zhou Xi smiled, there were only the two of them in the room, and she let go a little bit. She couldn't tell her parents some things, let alone her sister-in-law and younger siblings, but Man Bao was the best listener.

She whispered: "Except for the people in our family, who doesn't look down on me?"

Man Bao frowned and said nothing.

"In the beginning, people outside didn't know that Liu Dalang couldn't bear the child, so they thought it was me who couldn't bear the child. The marriages they came to tell their parents were widowers with children," Zhou Xi said, "It's nothing. Those who came back are similar to widows, but who are those people..."

"Later, my father and mother said that my illness was cured, and the news about Liu Dalang spread, and my grievances were cleared, but when it comes to my marriage here, I am still a widower, or it is because of a disability, or because of some bad things. The reason is that I can’t marry a daughter-in-law.”

"But no matter who comes to me, whether it's a matchmaker or a blind date, they don't see me in their eyes. Even if they behaved well at the beginning, they have come twice, and the contempt and suspicion in their eyes will be gone. You can’t even hide it.”

Zhou Xidao: "I know, no matter whether I can have children or not, if I get divorced, it's because of them that I'm at fault. If that's the case, why should I marry?"

In fact, she wanted to marry at the beginning, thinking that it would be good to marry anyone, and she couldn't depend on her parents and brother's house for the rest of her life.

But the life at home is so good. At first, she was discouraged and didn't want to marry, but then she slowly came out, but the family vacated a room for her and opened up a piece of wasteland...

Then she found that even if she didn't get married, even if she lived in the home of her parents and brothers, her life was not bad, and she didn't even feel that kind of sojourn for a while.

So she thought, in that case, why should she marry?

Good night
