In February, the spring cold is severe, and the severe cold days seem to have no end.

For the next three to five days, Xin Yi stayed at the medicine shop every day without leaving the house. He seemed to have lost interest in the lights of Ma Xing Street and the delicious food in Zhouqiao. Even the matter of hurriedly looking for a house in the previous two days,

There is no further text.

Everyone in the medicine shop thought she was a little strange. Xiang Ling and her husband thought that her relationship with Cao Yi had been hit by the twists and turns in their relationship, so they specially invited her to visit the clothing store and jewelry store, but they were all rejected. The three little ones looked at their mother's expression and were also surprised.

Be careful, for fear of doing something wrong and annoying her.

Finally, even the two dullest guys noticed something strange.

The landlady is unhappy all day long and seems to be lazy. She can still put on a happy face when she is sick or has three small children at home. Otherwise, she will droop her eyelids and hold her cheeks to write and draw without knowing what she is doing.

.

A few days ago, the ambitious plan to radically renovate the drug store, build a pharmaceutical research institute, and build a surgical operating room has withered and withered overnight...

No one knows what happened.

No one knows what the boss lady is thinking.

Mrs. An made insinuations and said that Mr. Cao was not in a good mood when he left that day, and asked her if she had any conflict with Mr. Cao.

Xin Yi shook his head and just said he wanted to be quiet.

Finally, Zhou Daozi couldn't hold it in any longer.

His original intention to stay was to set up a pharmaceutical research institute with Xin Yi. How could he allow Xin Yi to give up halfway?

"Ms. Zhang, I don't want to do this business anymore."

Zhou Daozi went directly to Xin Yi and prepared to give up his job.

"You can hire someone else. I'll leave tomorrow... no, I'll leave right away."

Xin Yi looked up at him and raised his eyebrows, "Uncle Zhang caught two chickens yesterday and raised them in the backyard. I roasted beggar's chickens in the backyard at noon."

Zhou Daozi looked at him sideways, his throat moved, he hummed heavily, and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Not to mention the beggar chickens and beggar ducks can't keep me here. At worst, I'll just leave tomorrow."

Xin Yi looked at the old man turning around with his hands behind his back, his white hair shining like silver, and chuckled.

When Sannian saw her mother smiling, she immediately stuck out her tongue like a little rabbit, ran towards Zhou Daozi, grabbed his arm, and shook his head.

"Sir, don't leave. If you leave, there will be no one to teach Sanbao how to read and write. From now on, if Sanbao is blind, he will not be able to find a good family and will be bullied... If people ask me who my husband is, I will tell him who he is.

Damn, people will laugh at you sir..."

Zhou Daozi: "Bah! You little girl, I don't know your little thoughts? You have the same virtues as your mother..."

Sannian giggled, "I'm as cute as my mother."

Zhou Daozi snorted angrily, turned away, and sat down behind the medicine case.

Xin Yi walked over and touched Xiao Sannian's head, sat on the small stool opposite Zhou Daozi's desk, stretched out his wrist and rested it on the pulse pillow.

"Doctor Zhou, please help me check my pulse."

Zhou Daozi squinted, "What's wrong with you?"

Xin Yi: "I feel upset, impatient, restless, and restless at night."

Zhou Daozi lowered his eyelids, "You are lovesick. There is no cure, so just wait to die."

"..."

Xin Yi looked at Zhou Daozi dumbfounded, and then looked back at Mrs. An, her husband, Xiang Ling, the clerk, and Xiao Sannian, who was dragging Zhou Daozi's sleeves eagerly in front of the medicine cabinet.

Only then did she realize, belatedly, that everyone thought she was lovelorn.

Xin Yi sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Zhou, don't leave. If you leave, I won't be able to run this pharmaceutical research institute."

Zhou Daozi stared at her with dissatisfaction and snorted from the wing of his nose: "I thought you were just staring at the three melons and two dates in front of you, and you had forgotten to do serious business..."

"No, no."

Xin Yi quickly denied it and frowned involuntarily.

"Mr. Zhou, it's not that I'm not doing my job, it's that I've encountered a problem."

On the one hand, the pharmaceutical research institute had no clues, and on the other hand, she was troubled by the matter at the drug store.

If he directly asked Fu Jiuqu if it was the drug store he rented, he might not admit it. The most important thing is that Fu Jiuqu gave money and money to the store. She received the favor for nothing and was short-handed, but she couldn't repay it now.

…

It makes sense to use Zhang Lu's compensation money to repay Cao Yi first.

Now if we use this money to repay Fu Jiuqu, wouldn't it be equivalent to using Fu Jiuqu's own money to pay him back?

Xin Yi felt troubled, feeling as if there were ants crawling around all day long, and felt very uncomfortable.

However, when she told Zhou Daozi in a roundabout way, Zhou Daozi laughed.

"I thought that the young lady was open-minded and open-minded, but I didn't expect that the young daughter would have such thoughts. Madam, don't worry about such a trivial matter. The Prince of Guangling County is such a person. The more you owe him, the more comfortable he will be. Why don't you owe him

If you ask him to order something, he will be covered in lice. Not only will he be unhappy, but he will also be on guard against you..."

Xin Yi was stunned.

What logic is this.

Is the Prince of Guangling County so weird?

Seeing her confused look, Zhou Daozi stroked his beard and smiled heartily, "Madam, just put your heart in your belly. I owe him much more than you. How can I not live a good life as usual? What's more, the store is also good.

, regardless of the compensation, he didn’t give it to you. Aren’t there still three little cubs? This is his affection for Zhang Sanlang. In order to let Zhang Sanlang’s children have a good life, how can you worry about it? "

"That being said..."

"Hey, please be at ease and listen to what I say. The more you owe him, the more you owe him. The more you owe him, the more at ease he will feel. If you don't owe him a day, he will feel uncomfortable."

"puff!"

He glanced at the old man with a bitter smile.

"Lao Zhou really knows how to comfort people."

"Everything the old man said is true, and there is absolutely no lie."

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows, smiled involuntarily, and the dark clouds disappeared.

"Okay, then I owe you a little more."

After saying that, he leaned over, winked at Zhou Daozi, and said with a smile in a voice that only he could hear: "When I cure his illness, I will repay you in return."

Zhou Daozi stroked his beard and nodded happily, his tone even choked with sobs.

"You should hurry up. He doesn't have much time left. Two years go by in a blink of an eye. I have been waiting for so many years, and I can't wait much longer. I never know when I will close my eyes and go to see the Lord of Hell for tea...

…”

Xin Yi's heart sank and she looked at him with a smile.

This old man smiles playfully all the time, but rarely does he look so serious.

"No, Zhou Lao Taoist Bone Divine Wind, protected by the gods, will definitely live a long life..."

"Hehehe." Zhou Daozi smiled with satisfaction, "It doesn't matter if I don't live long, I just want to see the county prince Kang recover while I'm alive..."

"Yes." Xin Yi nodded cautiously towards him.

In fact, during these days when everyone thought she was trapped by love, her mind was not idle at all. She had been thinking about how to start a pharmaceutical research institute, the conditions and possible risks of surgical operations, and she had drawn more than a dozen sketches on her desk.

I was nervous, but I just didn’t tell anyone else...

She wanted to do something for Fu Jiuqu, but if she wanted to set up a pharmaceutical research institute, the next door would be the best place... Otherwise, if she had to find a place to relocate, she would have to make a big fuss, waste money and manpower, and it might not necessarily have good results.

.

Xin Yi is very conflicted.

I don't understand why Du Zhongqing would rather leave it empty than rent it.

What's the inconvenience?

~

In the afternoon, there were no patients in the medicine shop. With some free time, Xin Yi suddenly called his husband.

"Let's go to the market."

The beloved said "ah".

Madam An and Xiang Ling also looked over.

"Is there anything missing in Madam's room?" Madam An asked cautiously, fearing that she, the "housekeeper", would not be able to settle Madam's affairs.

"Tell me what you need, madam, and I will buy it for you."

Xin Yi smiled and said, "I am short of cats."
