Thinking that Ni'er had done him a big favor, he took out a white flour bun from his backpack and handed it to her, "This is a thank you gift."

Nier quickly waved her hand to refuse, "I can't take your things. My grandma still owes you five cents last time."

I didn't expect this girl to have such a good memory. She still remembered this incident, but Zhao Jincheng was also a person who would avenge his enemies and reward his merits. He didn't want to owe others anything. "Then tell me what you want. You helped me a lot, and I don't want to owe you a favor."

Nier said without thinking: "Can you teach me what diseases Ophiopogon japonicus can cure?"

Zhao Jincheng was stunned for a moment. How could a girl of this age who was basically learning how to embroider insoles and picking wild vegetables be interested in pharmacology? Maybe she didn't want to owe him a favor. But if he talked a lot, such a young child might not understand, so he simply said a few words: "Ophiopogon japonicus can treat coughs caused by lung dryness and heat."

Nier nodded. "I'll take note. I won't bother you anymore. My family will be worried if I go back any later."

The two parted ways. Nier exchanged most of the wild vegetables for medicine and only brought back a small portion. However, it was normal for such a young child to pick up so little. It was incomparable to the amount she had picked up before. But the wound on her head had not healed yet, so she could use this as an excuse.

Nier hid the medicine for her father in her clothes so that she could take it whenever she wanted.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back~" Ni'er walked in with a small basket of wild vegetables she had picked up.

"I just asked your father why you haven't come back yet. I wanted Niu Li to find you." Yan Zi looked at Ni'er with a smile.

Seeing her mother lying in bed obediently, Nier felt relieved, "Mom, don't worry, I'm back~"

"Dad, you are cooking again~" Nier looked towards the kitchen. Her father's figure was illuminated by the firelight, and he looked very tall.

"Well, don't come back so late next time. Your mother and I will be worried."

When my father's deep voice reached my ears, I felt an indescribable sense of security.

Nier stuck out her tongue and said, "I know. I won't be so late next time."

By the time the four of them finished dinner, it was already completely dark.

The third child's leg suddenly felt itchy, but he had no way to scratch it because it was in a splint, so he gave up after trying a few times.

Careful Nier observed her father's actions and came up with an idea in her mind, "Dad, do you feel that you can't scratch the itch? Why don't you try to loosen your grip a little? I have small hands and can help you scratch."

The third brother thought that it would only take a little while to loosen it, and it wouldn't take long, so it should be fine to tie it up again, so he agreed to Ni'er's suggestion.

Nier secretly sprinkled the medicine on her hand, reached in to tickle her father while applying the medicine.

"Daddy, is it still itchy?"

"It doesn't itch anymore. You know what, I feel so good after being tickled."

After saying that, he tightened the splint back.

For several days, Ni'er was picking wild vegetables in the mountains and had exchanged the medicine for her mother. Occasionally she would meet Doctor Zhao, and the two of them became more and more familiar with each other.

Ni'er took Doctor Zhao to look for herbs, and Doctor Zhao taught Ni'er some knowledge about herbs.

The medicine given by the system is very effective. After Yan Zi took the pregnancy-preserving pills mixed in porridge for a few days, her complexion became more and more rosy, and she was able to go out to work in the fields. The third child's legs were also getting better day by day. He couldn't wait to remove the splint before three months. The work in the fields really couldn't wait. Although the wasteland could not be reclaimed now, there were at least two acres of good farmland.

Nier saw her father looking up at the sky from time to time and looking at the direction of the fields in the distance, so she knew that her father wanted to go to farm. "Dad, do you want to go to farm?"

The third brother sat at the door and sighed, "That's right. The land is the life of us farmers. It's a little late to sow seeds now, but it doesn't matter. We can still get a harvest."

Ni'er was worried that her father would get sick from staying idle at home. Her leg had almost healed, so she suggested asking Doctor Zhao to take a look. If he said there was no problem, the whole family would feel at ease letting her father go to work in the fields.

Thinking about this, I went to find Doctor Zhao, and happened to meet him at home, "Doctor Zhao, I want you to go see my father~"

Zhao Jincheng was making pills when he saw Ni'er trotting in from the door. He quickly put down his tools, wiped his hands on his clothes, and asked anxiously, "What happened to your father?"

Seeing that Doctor Zhao looked nervous, Nier quickly told him the purpose of her visit. "My father can't stay idle at home. He wants to go to the fields to work. He sighs towards the fields every day. I think he's going to get sick. He always says his legs are fine. If you go, my mother will agree to let my father go out."

Hearing this, Doctor Zhao put down the medicine box and said, "Your father's leg will not be healed for at least three months. It's only been a few days. You don't need to see him. Just keep lying in bed."

But Nier was very sure that her father's leg had healed, and the medicine given by the system was not ordinary medicine, so she pestered Doctor Zhao, "My mother has also felt much better recently, please come and see her."

He had never seen a patient recover so quickly. Could it be that his skills had improved, or was little Ni'er just bragging? Zhao Jincheng was confused and decided to go back with Ni'er to find out what was going on.

The two of them entered the courtyard one after the other. They heard that Lao Niu's family had split up, but the thatched house was too shabby. Zhao Jincheng frowned slightly and quickly let go.

Niu Laosan and Yan Zi quickly invited Doctor Zhao into the house.

Without saying much, he took out the pulse pillow and felt the pulse of the two men. He also carefully examined Niu Laosan's legs. The two men had indeed recovered well and had no problem doing heavy work.

He suppressed his doubts and said to the two of them, "You two have recovered very well and are now no different from normal people. The third child can go out to work."

The four members of Niu Laosan's family were very happy to hear the news. Niu Li grabbed Ni'er's hand and jumped up on the spot.

This is the best news I have heard since the separation.

Yan Zi quickly asked, "Doctor Zhao, how much do you want to pay this time?"

Zhao Jincheng packed up his things and said, "I didn't prescribe any medicine, so I won't charge you."

The third brother thought that Doctor Zhao might sympathize with their poverty and was embarrassed to take the money, but how could he let the other person come for nothing, so he took out ten copper coins and was about to put them in Doctor Zhao's hand.

Doctor Zhao evaded the question, "Your little girl has helped me a lot. She helped me find herbs many times. I won't accept this money."

Hearing this, Niu Laosan did not force money into the other person's arms anymore. The four of them sent Doctor Zhao to the door. Watching his back getting farther and farther away, Niu Laosan and Yan Zi looked at each other and laughed. Hearing their parents' laughter, the two children were also infected by the atmosphere. The four of them laughed heartily and tears flowed out.

After lunch, the third brother went down to the fields. He felt like he had endless energy and he managed to finish the work of two people by himself. Yan Zi, on the other hand, started embroidering insoles at home.
