Chapter 279
One tiger and one monkey, the two children were so happy that neither of them could bear to eat them now, both held them carefully in their hands, preparing to bring them back to share with other little partners to see.
The ones in their hands were a bit sugared on the surface because they had been in contact with the air for too long, the two couldn't eat them in time, Ye Yaodong simply opened his mouth and helped them eat two big mouthfuls, but felt the corners of his mouth were covered with sugar, a bit sticky, but he couldn't lick it no matter how he stretched his tongue.
Lin Xiuqing saw this and pulled them to the corner of the road, "I'll go to the shop next to you and get some clear water to wipe it."
He nodded and waited on the side of the road, having nothing to do, he looked left and right at the shop beside him, but didn't expect to see an old acquaintance in the pharmacy next to him.
When Lin Xiuqing was wiping the corners of his mouth, she saw him staring at the pharmacy, and looked over curiously, "What are you looking at? Know the person inside?"
"Go in and take a look!"
Since they met, they should at least greet each other.
The family of four just walked into the pharmacy and attracted the attention of the people inside, the young man inside was also surprised, "It's you, a bit of a coincidence, bringing your wife and children out to the market?"
"Right, just saw Comrade Hong at the door, so I came in to say hello, are you here to buy medicine?"
Hong Wenle took a small box in his hand and showed it to him, "Asked the pharmacy to help me buy it in advance, came over to get it."
After saying that, he looked at the pharmacy owner, "One hundred and twenty, right?"
"Right, we just earn a bit of hard-earned money for the road."
The couple listened on the side and their eyes widened, what medicine is so expensive as one hundred and twenty?
Ye Yaodong also asked curiously, "What medicine, ginseng? So expensive."
"No, it's Angong Niuhuang Wan, the elderly at home are old, prepare two pills just in case for emergency."
Angong Niuhuang Wan?
He had seen the news about this medicine when he brushed short videos before!
The sky-high price of Angong Niuhuang Wan in the 80s...
This is one of the three life-saving medicines!
No wonder it sells for 120!
His heart moved slightly, Grandma is also old, because of the matter of the eldest cousin and second cousin, Grandma is also uncomfortable and can't eat or sleep, these two days she obviously looked a bit withered, without the spirit of being radiant before.
Sitting at the door basking in the sun, there was no smile, and she fell asleep at every turn, making him worry that the old man's spirit would leak.
"Are there any more?"
He couldn't go to Beijing, this opportunity today was really hard to come by!
Although expensive, it's hard to buy the health of the elderly, this is a medicine that can save lives for the elderly, Angong Niuhuang Wan in the 80s is very precious.
It is a palace secret recipe from the Kangxi period, a royal medicine for the emperor.
Inside there is a very precious medicinal material, called rhinoceros horn, rhinoceros will belong to first-class protected animals in the future, so the medicine in the future cannot contain rhinoceros horn, and the medicine containing rhinoceros horn in the past is naturally regarded as a treasure.
And before 1992, China had not joined the World Animal Protection Organization, this medicine used rhinoceros horn ingredients and natural bezoar, after 1992 it was replaced by buffalo horn, and the efficacy of the medicine was greatly reduced since then.
In the future, this medicine can be speculated to several tens of thousands of yuan a pill, he didn't count on hoarding this medicine to make a fortune, the time cost was too great, and the efficacy of the medicine would be greatly reduced after decades, people who speculate the price so high are generally only for collection, he just wanted to prepare two pills for Grandma and the elderly at home, just in case of emergency.
Hong Wenle raised his eyebrows, "You want to buy?"
This is not cheap, where would ordinary families be willing to buy it?
"My family also has elderly, better safe than sorry."
He could still afford 120 a pill.
The pharmacy owner smiled and said: "Just happened to bring a few more pills, this medicine is very good, the price is high but not worried about selling, how many pills do you want?"
"Two pills... three pills, forget it, forget it... are there five pills?"
He had 3 elderly at home, and also the father-in-law's family, what if he could use it himself? 5 pills are not many, not necessarily meet it next time.
Having died once, he was very afraid of death.
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened as she listened, hurriedly pulled his sleeve, and whispered: "Are you crazy? This medicine is so expensive, and five pills, not allowed to buy even one! What kind of fairy medicine is 120, you are not allowed to make your own claims."
"This is hard to meet, not necessarily have it next time..."
The shopkeeper nodded, "This is the royal medicine used by the palace emperor in the past, used for emergency, it's not that I sell it expensive, this medicine is the secret recipe of Tongrentang in Beijing, Mr. Hong specially asked me to bring it, otherwise there wouldn't be any, he bought two pills, I only have 3 pills here."
He said and took out the medicine and placed it on the counter.
Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing, "Buy it, buy it, life is important, I see Grandma was hit by the matter of the eldest cousin, these few days her spirit is not good, buy two more pills for backup."
Once mentioning Grandma, Lin Xiuqing had no choice, Grandma really held her man in the tip of her heart, it was also right to be filial to the elderly, she didn't want anything to happen to such a good Grandma.
These past few days affected by the matter of the eldest cousin and second cousin, Grandma was also very uncomfortable and worried, that was also her eldest grandson, and she was also old.
"Then buy one?"
"There are only three pills, take them all, for backup." He now had a family foundation that was okay, spending a few hundred to buy a few life-saving medicines was affordable.
【Speaking of which, the best book-chasing app for reading and listening to books at present, the source-switching app, install the latest version of. huanyuanapp.】
"But we didn't bring so much money out..."
Ah!
He forgot this stubble.
Just came out to the market, who brought so much money, afraid of not being enough?
Now he was blind.
Ye Yaodong said embarrassedly: "We came out to the market, didn't bring so much money, can we come back in the afternoon?"
"Can, but can't guarantee you'll have it when you come, and I can't keep it for you just because of your empty words."
Just when he was thinking that he could only wait for the afternoon to come back and try his luck, Hong Wenle spoke, "I can help you buy these three pills first, and then go to the hotel to find me after you get the money in the afternoon."
Ye Yaodong was surprised by his help, and instantly full of gratitude, "Then thank you very much, I will definitely take the money over."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you don't come, I don't mind having more."
"Then I want it, I will go to the hotel to take it after lunch."
Hong Wenle laughed indifferently, took the medicine and identified it carefully, and gave the medicine to him to look at carefully, only after there was no problem did he pay all the money.
After walking out of the pharmacy, Ye Yaodong said he would definitely go to take it and then said goodbye.
Having dealt with each other a few times, he still believed in this person's character, originally he didn't need to take on things.
After the family of four came out of the pharmacy, they strolled along the market again, as long as it was something the children were interested in, they stopped and tried their best to satisfy the two children's requests, originally they were brought out to have a good time.
After they strolled down the whole market, Lin Xiuqing also had a lot of snacks in her hands, like maltose, light cakes, oil cakes, flour tea cakes, blown sugar figures, candied haws, rice sticks, etc.
She had a headache, never knew Adong was quite indulgent to children, usually he shouted and scolded every day, now that they were out, he couldn't stop his hands when buying for them.
Seeing the two clamoring for jumping toads again, Lin Xiuqing suddenly straightened her face, "This is not allowed to be bought after buying, look at my hands full, all are yours."
"Couplets and Fu characters are not bought by us! Wool is not, melon seeds and walnuts are not, red dates are not."
Walnuts and red dates were bought by Ye Yaodong for his wife to eat.
"Just these are not, others are yours."
Ye Yaodong also laughed and said: "Alright, your mother has spoken, then don't buy another jumping toad."
"Then go see a movie!"
"Haven't forgotten yet, I thought you were so happy that you forgot."
"Hehe, of course I didn't forget, everyone is waiting for me to tell them if the cinema is good after watching the movie."
"If I don't take you, then this bragging won't be broken?" Ye Yaodong flicked the eldest son's head, "Don't be so high-profile, don't take things at home out to talk, know?"
"Know!"
The family went to the cinema excitedly again.
The cinema is a five-story old-fashioned building, in his opinion the house is slightly old, green paint walls, but in this era where there are low one or two-story tile houses everywhere, it is already a high-rise.
For people now, going to the cinema to watch a movie is the newest and most trendy, in an era without mobile phones, without wifi, and televisions have not yet entered ordinary people's homes, the cinema is simply the cultural sanctuary in people's hearts.
Country people generally wait for mobile movie projection teams to go to the countryside, and few are willing to go to the cinema, but during the New Year, everyone is willing to go to the city to watch a movie.
There is a ticket window on the first floor of the cinema, the ticket window is very small, iron railings are erected there, and you can only reach in to buy tickets.
Around the window are also posted movie posters with a sense of the era, and there are various era slogans on the surrounding walls.
Ye Yaodong saw the crowd at the ticket window, and the crowd buying, changing, and returning tickets was endless.
Near the end of the year, many families are willing to spend money, and the surging crowd even surrounded the cinema entrance.
Many scalpers mixed in the crowd holding tickets "turning somersaults", calling out constantly: "Want tickets? Want tickets?"
Ye Yaodong didn't go to the window to queue for tickets, but went to ask scalpers to buy tickets for this morning, the session that can be watched immediately, otherwise the cinema entrance is crowded, don't know when it will be queued.
And now the activity of watching movies has to be completed in two parts. Because there are few movies and many audiences, generally pre-sale tickets are bought, and then wait for a day or two or longer to watch.
A one-cent movie ticket brings people happiness that can last for a long time.
Because of having movie tickets, having the expectation of watching movies, it also suddenly increased a bit of happiness, a bit of excitement, a bit of longing, and felt that the days passed very fast and very fulfilled.
Those under 1.3 meters don't need to buy tickets, of course, the seat must be used with adults, so Ye Yaodong only bought two, the movie is called Shaolin Temple, a new film released this year, has been playing in a loop, and the popularity does not decrease.
After the movie tickets were in hand, the two children couldn't wait to stand on tiptoe, grabbing his hand, "Let me see, let me see, what does the movie ticket look like..."
"I want to see too..."
Ye Yaodong handed the tickets in his hand to the two children, "Don't break it, if you break it, you can't watch the movie, go home directly."
"Won't."
The two carefully held the movie tickets with their hands and smiled until their teeth couldn't be seen, "Finally can watch a movie!"
"Go, wait at the entrance, check the tickets when the time comes." Ye Yaodong held the small one, pulled the big one, and let his wife grab his hem to follow.
There is a section of iron fence at the entrance of the cinema, and ticket-holding audiences need to stand in line to check tickets before they can enter.
When the time came, they went up to queue and enter.
In the simple screening hall, rows of wooden chairs were full of traces of years, the crowd was surging, many adults and children had already come in, everyone's faces were filled with happiness and joy, and they were all discussing there, talking about happy things.
They searched for a circle with effort, found their seats, and then sat down happily, eating snacks while waiting, the melon seeds bought before also came in handy.
Having something to eat and something to watch, the novel experience made the adults and children in the cinema chatter without stopping.
It wasn't until it was about to start playing that the scene quieted down.
Everyone looked at the screen without blinking, and the corners of Lin Xiuqing's mouth were always raised, the crystal brightness in her eyes could perhaps be called happiness.
