The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 977 "Zhu'er will remember this kindness in her heart."

Dewdrop's eyes welled up slightly, and she lowered her head: "Aunt, I miss my mother."

Tang Dalang did more than just have lunch at the Li family's house that day; he stayed until evening without leaving.

Finally, he went directly outside and found a henchman to deliver a message to the Tang family, saying that he would not be returning home that day and would be staying at the Li family's house for the night.

Tang Dalang stayed at the Li family's house tonight because Luzhu wanted to go to Yumen Pass to see Li Sanniang.

In the evening, Brother Li, who was returning home after a long day's work, met Brother Tang.

Even Li Erlang and Li Sanlang, who had already separated and lived separately, were summoned back to the Li family, all because of Luzhu'er's trip to Yumen Pass.

Tang Dalang, Li Silang who had returned home from the academy, and Li Wulang and Li Liulang, who were already at home, sat together, listening to Li's father, mother, elder brother Li, and second elder brother Li discuss with Lu Zhu'er how to send Lu Zhu'er to Yumen Pass.

“The elderly couple are getting old, the uncle has to be on duty, and the aunt is busy with the assistance association's work, not to mention taking care of the elderly couple at home;
It was because of her uncle and aunt's kindness that her mother felt at ease leaving home.

Besides, Liu Lang is still young; how could he not have an elder by his side?

Dewdrop slowly looked at Li's father and mother sitting at the head of the main hall of the Li family, and Li's elder brother and sister-in-law sitting at the foot of the hall, and said this.

After saying this, she looked at Li Er, who was sitting opposite Li Da, and said, "Second Uncle has to support the family clinic. Besides, Wu Lang is still young, so someone has to take care of him."

As Brother Shilin said, this journey westward will take at least two months from Chang'an to Yumen Pass. If something happens on the way, it may take up to three months to arrive.

Once I get there, as my mother said in her letter, I must stay with her for at least six months.

In this way, it would probably take a year for this round trip.

Therefore, my second uncle is also not suitable to go with me.

When Li Erxiong heard Lu Zhu'er say this, he had no choice but to nod in agreement, as what Lu Zhu'er said made perfect sense.

“My elder brother is already in Shule. If it’s convenient, I should be able to meet with him and his wife when I go to Yumen.”

Dewdrop looked at Li Erlang and said, "Second brother, you hold a position in the Assistant Administration Department, which is an important one."

After looking at Li Erlang, Lu Zhu'er looked at Li Sanlang and his wife Sun Yanxia with a little embarrassment.

"My fourth brother is going to participate in next year's imperial examination; this matter is of utmost importance."

Goro and Rokuro are still young; they haven't grown to their full size yet.

Thus, besides Brother Shilin, there was no one else at home.

Before Lu Zhu'er could finish speaking, Li Sanlang preemptively said, "Then Yan Niang and I will escort Zhu'er to Yumen!"

After saying this, Li Sanlang turned to look at Sun Yanxia beside him. Sun Yanxia nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right!"
My husband and I will just close the shop.

As for the eldest son and the second son…

"Send them to our home and let them live with Xiao Liu!" Sister-in-law Li interjected directly from the side.

Before Li Sanlang and Sun Yanxia could even speak, the two young boys standing behind them, who looked to be only four or five years old, were overjoyed.

They both let out two loud shouts and ran towards Li Liulang, fawningly calling him "Uncle Liu."

And so it was decided that Li Sanlang, Sun Yanxia and her husband, along with Tang Dalang, would accompany Luzhu'er westward to Yumen to find Li Sanniang.

Li Sanlang and his wife Sun Yanxia ran a medicinal cuisine shop on the main road east of Changshoufang.

The prescription was naturally given by Li's father, and most of the medicinal materials were collected from the mountain people that Li Sanlang knew when he was collecting medicinal materials for his family's medical clinic in his early years.

The family of four is busy all year round thanks to this shop, but they live quite well.

This time, closing the shop to send Luzhu'er to Yumen Pass resulted in a significant loss.

Li's parents secretly discussed giving Li Sanlang an extra sum of money before they left.

Before Li's parents could even approach Li Sanlang, Luzhu'er was already holding Sun Yanxia's hand and talking to her. Today, after finishing her shift, Luzhu'er bought four kinds of cakes and went to Li Sanlang's house.

She took out the wooden box she had prepared beforehand and placed it on the table.

"Third brother and sister-in-law, you not only had to close your successful shops for my sake, but you also had to leave Dalang and Erlang for a long time. I will always remember your kindness."

But I've noted it down; you must accept the money that delayed your business!

Dewdrop pushed the wooden box in front of Sun Yanxia, ​​and before the two could speak, she grabbed Sun Yanxia's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, this is all my fault."

I miss my mother so much!
It's been three years! I haven't seen my mother for three years!
Actually, if it weren't for my family's worries, my brother Shilin and I would have hired a team of镖人 (bodyguards/escorts) to escort us to Yumen Pass.

Although we are not yet married, we are engaged, so walking together like this is not considered overstepping our bounds.

But I also know that Grandma would definitely not agree to that.

Furthermore, the journey to Yumen is indeed long. I want to see my mother, but I want to see her safely.

In that case, I'll have to trouble you and my third brother!

I'm so sorry!

As she finished speaking, Dewdrop stood up formally and bowed deeply to Li Sanlang and Sun Yanxia, ​​who were still in a daze.

"Hey, no, no need, Pearl, you, hey, get up, get up quickly."

Sun Yanxia hurriedly stood up and tried to reach out to help Lu Zhu'er up, but Lu Zhu'er had already finished the ceremony.

"So, sister-in-law, you must take this money!"

Otherwise, I would feel even more guilty!
Moreover, if I ever reach Yumen Pass and see my mother, she will surely scold me.

If you can accept these, then when Mother scolds me, she won't say as many things to me, right?

Having let Lu Zhu'er say everything, Sun Yanxia truly didn't know what to do.

She turned to look at Li Sanlang, and seeing that Li Sanlang nodded slightly, Sun Yanxia also nodded in agreement with Lu Zhu'er's words.

The three chatted for a while longer, and even let Lu Zhu'er stay at their home for dinner. Only then did Li Sanlang personally drive the donkey cart to take Lu Zhu'er home.

As soon as Li Sanlang returned home from Luzhu'er's place, he was grabbed by Sun Yanxia, ​​who had been waiting for him.

"Master!"

"The box Pearl gave us contained three thousand taels of silver notes!"

Li Sanlang, shocked by the amount Sun Yanxia whispered, went into the room himself, took the silver note from Sun Yanxia's hand, looked at it again and again by candlelight, and counted it up. It was three thousand taels!
Three thousand taels is truly a huge sum of money!

Although living in Chang'an is not easy.

But three thousand taels is more than enough to buy a small courtyard in Chang'an.

Not to mention, although Li Sanlang and Sun Yanxia's medicinal cuisine shop could make some money, it was impossible for them to save up three thousand taels a year!
"Master, Pearl has given too much!"

Where would we possibly earn that much money in a year?
"Take this and return it to Pearl quickly."

Li Sanlang took the wooden box containing the silver notes and turned to leave, but he stopped at the door.

Turning around, Li Sanlang shoved the wooden box into Sun Yanxia's hands, saying, "Take this for now!"
Once we return from Yumen Pass, we can decide how much to return to Zhu'er.

Even if I give it to her now, she won't accept it.

She felt bad for delaying our business.

In the end, Sun Yanxia carefully hid the three thousand taels of silver notes, waiting for the time when she returned to Chang'an, and then, depending on the situation, she would return them to Luzhu'er.
