297 Awkward Together
“Hey, where’s the rice noodles that Mother prepared for Yuxuan’s family?” Xue Sifu asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan as he rummaged through the basket.
They were selling rice noodles, so they had to let Shen Yuxuan’s family try it. So, when they went out today, Liu Guixia also put a few stacks of rice noodles in a basket to give it to the Shen family.
“It’s not that wicker basket, it’s this.” Jiang Yue said. At that time, she had seen Liu Guixia put it in the basket and knew which one it was.
Without waiting for Xue Sifu toe and look for her, her small body was almostpletely buried in the wicker basket in front of her. Her two small hands took out the wrapped rice noodles from the bottom of the basket.
“Yeah, this is it.” Xue Sifu hurriedly took it. “This has to be given to Yuxuan’s family, remember where it is. We might forget when the timees. Actually, Xue Yan, you can keep it.”
!!
“Okay.” Xue Yan had no opinion.
“You guys wait here, I’ll go get the ox cart.” With that, Xue Sifu left.
The ce where the ox cart was ced was a little far, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t stand, but sat on the same bench with their legs hanging, waiting quietly.
Xue Yan hesitated for a moment but still opened his mouth, “Do you think he’ll make use again tomorrow?”
“Is there a need to say that?” Jiang Yue nced at him. She obviously knew that he was trying to find a topic to talk about.
“Ahem.” Xue Yan coughed immediately, and then smiled awkwardly, “I feel like it’s fine if I don’te.”
In fact, she was the one who had been shouting just now. She was still the one who was more likable.
“Do you think I should stand there and shout by myself?” Jiang Yue asked.
If she had to do something embarrassing, they would be embarrassed together.
“Oh.” Xue Yan understood what she meant. He coughed and looked away. His voice was weak and helpless. “I’lle tomorrow.”
“Yes. We both will.” Although Jiang Yue didn’t show any expression, she unconsciously shook her short legs.
After Xue Sifu brought the ox cart back, he tied the things back to the cart.
Before he reached the entrance of the Shen Medical Center, he met Doctor Shen who had just returned from a house call.
Xue Yan cupped his hands and saluted him.
“Hello,” Jiang Yue greeted.
Xue Sifu naturally also greeted him.
“Are you going to leave the things here? That’s good to hear. When Yuxuan came backst night, he was still unhappy and asked why you hadn’te to put your things away. He was afraid that you were treating him as an outsider. Now, when hees back from school in the evening, I’ll tell him that you dropped by. He’ll be very happy to see the things here.” Doctor Shen stroked his beard andughed. “Let’s go to the clinic. There’s an empty space behind the clinic and the courtyard. You can put it anywhere you want.”
Doctor Shen also found it novel when he heard that the business was selling rice noodles.
“This is for you and Yuxuan.” Xue Yan handed the rice noodles to Doctor Shen with both hands.
“Thank you. I really wanted to try this new thing. Yuxuan will definitely be happy having something new. Anyway, it’s just like cooking noodles, right?” Doctor Shen smiled as he received it with both hands and then passed it to the servant boy behind him. The servant boy also held it with both hands and was extremely polite as he thanked them with a smile.
“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded.
There was an empty room at the back of the Shen Medical Center for them to put things in, but they did not put things in the empty room. Instead, they put them in the courtyard at the back of the medical center.
The yard was quite big. There were many wooden shelves on one side, where herbs were being dried. On the other side, there were misceneous items. Their things were ced beside the various items.
It just so happened that a shed had been built for the misceneous items, so they could be ced under the shed.
