  "Don't talk nonsense, this place is crowded." You Tian's mother led Zi Juan and said in a low voice: "He is the best doctor in the county."

  Meng You Tian opened his mouth, but still reluctantly swallowed back even more unpleasant words.

  "Hey, let's go to the market with Ah Xiu and buy some useful things." Yu Niang stopped in front of Lao Yuan's cart and said: "It's crowded and noisy there, Zijuan is afraid of that, it's not convenient for me to bring Zijuan either, let's find a quiet place to wait for the two!"

  This sounds like no big deal, but Tian Niang actually has some deep meaning. As a veteran, Tian Niang has quite an accurate judgment of Ah Xiu's behavior at this age. Ah Xiu often gets distracted and often smiles foolishly when she is distracted, which all shows that she indeed starts to think about romance just like other girls of the same age. After Zi Juan's illness was diagnosed, her thoughts became active again, intentionally creating opportunities for Meng You Tian and Ah Xiu to be together.

  "Let's have lunch together first!" Meng You Tian suggested somewhat gloomily after glancing at the sky.

  "Mother is right, it's better not to let Zijuan stay in crowded places. We can buy some food and deal with it on the carriage." Lao Yuan was a man, of course he didn't have such delicate thoughts about these things.

  Meng You Tian nodded slightly and called out to Xiao Yan, who was poking her head out of the car, "Xiao Yan, come on too!"

  "Look at the kids running around, aren't they a nuisance?" Yitian's wife hurriedly stopped her and coaxed Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, stay with Auntie and Zijuan, I'll buy you some treats later."

  "Fried dough sticks, liangfen, sesame seed cakes..." Xiaoyan wanted to list a few more, but seeing her sister glare at her, she quickly shut her mouth.

  "Mother, I also want to eat." Zi Juan hugged You Tian's arm and shook it, saying in a childish tone: " Fried dough cake, liangfen. Sesame seed pastry."

  "Alright, get in the car and sit properly, we'll all buy some, let's all buy!" Yitian's mother coaxed the two girls as they got into the sedan. She didn't forget to remind Meng You Tian, "You guys find a place to eat something too, don't rush, it's still early when you get home!"

  Meng You Tian nodded and picked up the basket, taking Ah Xiu to the market. There were many things to buy, mostly in preparation for moving to Tumen Village.

  There are many people in the market, and it's very noisy. The cattle traders have a mysterious look on their faces as they stroke their beards and fingers, while the grain sellers enthusiastically scoop and pour grains into baskets, singing and shouting at the same time. In front of the stalls, there are all sorts of customers. The hawkers' cries and vendors' calls resound through the market, filling the air with the enticing aroma that stimulates people's appetite.

  "A Xiu, what do you want to eat?" Meng You Tian bought two bowls of iced water, both to quench A Xiu's thirst and to calm his own heart fire, asking casually as he drank.

  "I can eat anything." Ah Xiu said with a lowered head and downcast eyes, looking somewhat shy and secretly pleased when she was alone with Meng You Tian.

  It's only natural, everyone has it, and it's not something unusual. Even if she is kind and innocent. But knowing that Zijuan's illness is difficult to cure, or rather, it's a long shot, the thoughts that have been in my mind before involuntarily emerged.

  Meng You Tian put down his bowl and said: "I also can't think of what to eat for the time being, let's go for a walk first!"

  "I'm not very hungry either, it's good to buy things first." Ah Xiu immediately agreed.

  As they walked further in, there were more street stalls, vendors carrying firewood and vegetables on poles, and itinerant barbers. There were people selling sugar figurines and mud dolls, as well as those offering to write letters or paint for customers. As they strolled along, Meng You-tian's expression gradually calmed down. They stopped in front of a book stall, where a middle-aged man with a worried look on his face was squatting on the ground, surrounded by a disorderly array of books.

  Meng You Tian was attracted by the title of a book, he squatted down and started to flip through it casually. Hmm? It turned out to be really about agriculture, which made him feel very surprised. Although in his opinion they were all relatively old books, they gave him a sense of familiarity.

  The book seller saw a rustic fellow looking at books, and initially didn't pay much attention. Later, seeing Meng You Tian seemed to be in a state of relishing the taste, he also felt quite strange, raised his chin, and tentatively said: "Young man, if you can understand it, buy a few copies! If I hadn't been robbed by thieves and was anxious to return home to southern China, I wouldn't have sold them!"

  Meng You Tian looked him up and down, like a cultured person who had fallen on hard times, and smiled faintly. "Sir, let's wrap up these books and talk about the price."

  "Can you all understand?" The book seller was really surprised this time, two of the books were in English, which he had bought while studying abroad!

  "Agricultural technology? I'm a farmer, it's just right." Meng You Tian smiled with his mouth open.

  The book seller gazed at Meng You Tian, who met his gaze calmly. After a long while, the book seller let out a deep breath and said: "I'm from Nanjing Jinling University, stationed at the Huabei wheat experimental field. These things are usually my treasures. Now, heh heh, selling them to someone who appreciates them isn't a waste of knowledge. Just for this, I'll only ask for three dollars, enough for me to eat on the road."

  Nanjing's Jinling University is the earliest institution to carry out wheat breeding. In 1914, a superior wheat plant was discovered in a wheat field in the suburbs of Nanjing, and it was immediately transplanted back to the school. For eight consecutive years, the "pure line ear row breeding method" was used for purification and selection, until 1922, when a high-quality wheat variety that met the breeding goal was finally obtained, named "Jin Da 26". This is the first high-quality wheat variety successfully cultivated in China using modern scientific breeding techniques. Encouraged by this success, Jinling University set up eight wheat experimental stations in various provinces of North China from 1925, and successively bred a batch of high-quality wheat varieties.

  It turned out to be a fellow, Meng You Tian nodded and took out 10 yuan from his pocket, put it in the book seller's hand, saying: "Take it, go back early, continue studying, this is a great thing for future generations, don't waste it. As for the books, I'll only take these three, leave the rest."

  "Thank you, thank you." The bookseller was moved to tears, blew his nose, took out a string and tied up the books that Meng You Tian had picked out. "These books are very useful, very useful."

  Meng You Tian smiled faintly and said that, to be honest, these books were not of much practical use to him, but in other aspects they were extremely useful, which was his long-term consideration.

  "Brother You, you're really impressive, being able to understand such a thick book. Me, I can only recognize over a hundred characters now." Ah Xiu was half praising Meng You and half trying to show that she could also read, not just blindly staring.

  "Over a hundred characters, well, with some more effort, you'll be able to read the newspaper." Meng You Tian encouraged: "It's not easy at all, having to work and learn to recognize characters too."
