It took 4 days of carpentry for Yang Shifeng and Grandpa Yang to finish the shelves, counters, and all kinds of wooden boxes.
The only thing left to do is to just go to the town to buy the goods and transport them back to their house, and finally, they can now officially open their grocery store.

Grandpa Yang couldn’t wait for their store to open.
In the past few days, many people from their village have come to buy things from them.
When the other villages heard the news, they even came to their houses to buy things.
Almost half of the things brought back by Yang Shifeng from the town had been sold.
They were supposed to be sold when they opened, but now, it seems like they have to buy them again.

A lot of people wanted to buy from them even if they hadn’t opened the shop yet.
They even urged Yang Shifeng to open the store quickly.

Grandpa Yang was so happy with such a good business that he couldn’t shut his mouth.
All his worries about losing money in doing business were gone.
Only his determination to do business well was left.
Now that he knew that everything was ready, he immediately waved his hand and said, “Shifeng, I’m old and can’t stand going to the town.
Take Shiyi to the town to buy goods.
Come back to our house early and start your business early.
By the way, remember to buy some firecrackers to make it livelier.
Opening our store can still be considered a big event.
“

Yang Shifeng nodded, “OK, I’ll go tomorrow morning.”

Grandpa Yang stood up again and walked outside: “I’ll talk to the people in the village and ask if they were going to ride in our donkey cart to go to town tomorrow morning.”

Yang Shifeng could only feel helpless towards Grandpa Yang’s vigor and his ability to not stay idle for a moment.
He shook his head and smiled.
Yang Shifeng went into the house and moved all the things he would take to the town tomorrow into the donkey cart.

Shiyi watched Shifeng as he went about his work, while she wrote down the things they needed to buy tomorrow on the paper.
There were too many miscellaneous things they had to buy.
If she hadn’t written them down, she would have missed a lot of things they had to buy and would have had to make another trip to town.

Shiyi continued to write a lot and wrote down what she remembered.
Seeing that Yang Shifeng was busy, she said to him, “Yang Shifeng, listen to what I wrote down and see if anything is missing.”

Yang Shifeng put down the things in his hand and stopped to listen carefully to Shiyi.
When Shiyi finished reading them to him, Shifeng thought for a moment and added: “We need to buy candles, papyrus, and mosquito repellent cooling oil.
You haven’t written these down.
In addition to that, the firecrackers that Grandpa asked us to buy should also be written.
“

Shiyi understood, and added these four items to the paper.
She raised her head to look at Yang Shifeng and smiled brightly at him.”Your memory is much better than mine.” If he had studied the characters, he should have been able to learn them quickly.

Thinking of this, Shiyi had an idea and immediately patted the table, “Yang Shifeng, come here.”

Yang Shifeng looked at her suspiciously and said, “What’s the matter?”

“Oh, come here first.”

Yang Shifeng had to put down the things in his hands and go to the table to sit down.

Shiyi moved to his side and sat opposite him.
She pointed to the paper in her hand and said, “Hey, how about I teach you how to read later? You have such a good memory.
You’ll be able to learn it quickly.
“

“Read?” Yang Shifeng was slightly surprised because he had never thought about it.
People in the village basically don’t know how to read.
So did Yang Shifeng.
When he was a child, he spent all day thinking about what he could do to fill his stomach.
It was good enough if he could survive.
Where can he get the money and get the mood to study? When he grew up, he naturally wouldn’t think about it.
He never thought he could still learn how to read.

Shiyi really wanted him to be able to read, so she persuaded him.
“It’s much more convenient to learn to read and write.
No one can cheat you when you go to town in the future.
More importantly, we should keep track of the accounts when we do business.
Well, we are busy during the day, so I don’t have time.
Should I teach you for an hour every night? “

Every night? Yang Shifeng’s eyebrows moved and hesitated a little, but looking at the words written by Shiyi on the paper, his heart became excited.
If he could recognize these words, would he be able to write with Shiyi?

“OK, I’ll learn!”

Shiyi smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
“Then you should study hard in the future.
If you can’t learn well, I’ll hit your palm.
By the way, I don’t have a stick.
You can make one for me.
It’s especially used to hit the palm.
I heard that this was painful.

Yang Shifeng glanced at Shiyi, stood up silently, and went to work.

Shiyi laughed in the back, imagining in her head that she was beating Yang Shifeng with a stick.
The scene of Yang Shifeng being wronged was really funny.

“What are you laughing at, girl?” Shiyi laughed.
Grandpa Yang, who came in from the outside, saw Shiyi laughing, and became puzzled, so he asked Shiyi.

Shiyi immediately stopped laughing and decided to save face for Yang Shifeng.
“Nothing.
I couldn’t help feeling happy when I thought of the store’s opening.
“

“Oh, oh.
It’s a joyous event indeed.
” Grandpa Yang didn’t doubt her and said to Yang Shifeng, “Shifeng, I went out to tell everyone in the village. Your fourth aunt’s family will go to town with you tomorrow.
They have a lot of things; and your fifth Uncle Zhang will also go.
“

Yang Shifeng nodded, did not look at Shiyi, and silently took four benches next to her and put them in the donkey cart, where people could sit.

Shiyi poked his waist and whispered in his ear, “I don’t want to sit in the carriage.
I want to sit next to you and drive the donkey with you.”

Yang Shifeng took the bench once, put down one of the benches in his hand, and finally took three and put them into the carriage.

Shiyi quietly raised the corners of her lips.

……………

The next day, Shiyi got up early and was ready to go with Yang Shifeng.
The three people who wanted to ride in their donkey cart to go to town also arrived at Yang’s house before dawn.
Yang Shifeng was sitting in front of the cart while Shiyi was sitting next to him.
Two people sitting in front of the cart were not too crowded at all. 

“Grandpa, we’re leaving.” Yang Shifeng drove the donkey cart and set off after he said his goodbyes to Grandpa Yang, who was standing at the door. 

Shiyi also waved her hand to Grandpa Yang as the donkey started to run, but before the donkey cart could take its first step, someone chased after the donkey cart to stop it.

“Doctor Shiyi, fortunately, you haven’t left yet, or it’ll be over.” The man who stopped the carriage was someone from the village.
Yang Shifeng calls him Uncle Liang.
Uncle Liang was sweating after he ran here early in the morning.
This must mean that he was in a hurry.

Shiyi knew at first glance that he was looking for her.
He had probably run to their side because someone needed immediate medical attention; otherwise, he wouldn’t have run to their side when the sun hadn’t even risen.

Ai, it seems that I can’t go to town today.

Shiyi looked at Yang Shifeng and got down from the cart.
Yang Shifeng also got out of the cart and asked, “Uncle Liang, what’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

Uncle Liang gasped and replied, “Shifeng, your second brother Liang is sick.
He has had a fever since midnight.
Not only has his fever not subsided, but it is worsening.
I was really afraid he’d overheat, so I quickly ran to find Doctor Shiyi.” Then he turned to Shiyi and begged, “Doctor Shiyi, please help me.
My second son was really burning up so much.
Please check him out quickly.
“

Yang Shifeng immediately looked at Shiyi.

Shiyi handed Yang Shifeng the written list of goods from her sleeve, “Go to the town by yourself, I can’t go today, I’ll have a look at the patient.” If this were to happen in the past, Shiyi didn’t need to look at the patient.
At that time, she thought it had nothing to do with her, and besides, she was not a warmhearted person.
But now, it’s different.
She wants to have a good life here and she is willing to be a doctor for the people in this village.

She is willing to take the initiative to approach Yang Shifeng’s life.

Yang Shifeng did not take the paper.
He was standing still, looking a little hesitant.

Shiyi saw Yang Shifeng’s reaction, so she immediately put the paper into Yang Shifeng’s hand and pushed it to him again, “OK, go.
Next time you go to town, I’ll go with you.
Don’t delay things this time.
I’ll wait for you to come back.
“

Yang Shifeng looked at the three people waiting to go to town in the carriage.
Then he put the paper into his sleeve, looked deeply at Shiyi, and drove away with the donkey cart.
