After Li Kaixin entered the house, his mother, Qin Xiuli, took the items out of the sack one by one.

Several middle-aged women nearby saw this and quickly stepped forward to help take it from the bag.

Looking at the chicken, fish, and large piece of meat that had been brought out, Aunt Wang couldn't help but scold:

"Xiuli, didn't we agree that we'd just prepare everything today? Why did you bring so much when you were so happy? Take it back!"

"Yes, Xiuli, this is too much of a waste." The other middle-aged women chimed in, trying to dissuade her.

"Sister Wang, and all the other sisters, please don't say that."

Qin Xiuli continued working, a gentle smile on her face: "Kaixin is the star of today's meal, how can we not show our appreciation?"

"Besides, we've already brought everything here, what would it look like to take it back? Today is a happy day, we can't spoil the fun."

"Alright!" Aunt Wang readily agreed when Qin Xiuli said so, and then smiled as she took the two chickens from her hands: "Xiuli, you can rest here today, we'll take care of it."

"Sister Wang, this won't do! Let's go together!"

Qin Xiuli's smile softened a bit. "These things Kaixin brought back will take a while to sort through. I'll also take this opportunity to chat with you all."

Li Kaixin, who was eating inside, naturally heard the conversation outside and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

That's why he ran into the house so quickly just now.

After finishing their meal, when Li Kaixin went out again, his mother Qin Xiuli and several other women were already cleaning the fish by the sink, and a stove had been set up in the middle of the yard to heat water.

Li Kaixin greeted his mother and several older women, then pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the transport station by bicycle, Zhou Zhiming, who had already repaired the car, immediately ran over.

"Sir, let me help you park the bicycle." He said, reaching out to take the handlebars.

Li Kaixin didn't refuse and let him go, while she walked straight towards the car.

When he got to the car, he picked up his tools and did a routine check, finding that all the necessary maintenance had already been done.

Zhou Zhiming, who had parked his bicycle on the other side, jogged over and pulled a stool from the side: "Sir, please sit down."

Li Kaixin felt that Zhou Zhiming was being a little too attentive today, so she looked up at him and asked, "Zhiming, what's wrong with you?"

"Master, nothing's wrong!" Zhou Zhiming was taken aback by the question.

"Really?" Li Kaixin looked him over. "Then why are you being so proactive today?"

Zhou Zhiming scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "My dad said the other day that I should listen to my master, and I thought I should do my best."

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin was momentarily speechless.

Just then, Station Chief Zhao came out of his office and waved to Li Kaixin: "Kaixin, come to my office."

"Okay, stationmaster, I'm coming right now," Li Kaixin replied.

He then gave Zhou Zhiming a few instructions and quickly walked towards Station Chief Zhao's office.

Pushing open the door, he saw Station Chief Zhao sitting at his desk, a smile on his face, looking at him.

Station Master Zhao pointed to the chair opposite him: "Kaixin, sit down and talk."

Seeing his expression and noticing the tea that had already been poured on the table, Li Kaixin immediately felt alarmed.

The last time Station Chief Zhao was so polite, it was to ask him to give an interview. I wonder what it's for this time.

Li Kaixin slowly sat down in the chair opposite him, forcing a smile: "Station Chief, what can I do for you?"

"Have some tea first, no rush." ​​Station Master Zhao picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Li Kaixin also took a sip, and couldn't help but ask again, "Stationmaster, you should just tell me the truth. I don't feel at ease if you keep talking like this."

"Alright, I'm happy. I won't beat around the bush then." Station Chief Zhao put down his teacup, leaned forward, and asked, "What exactly is the purpose of that pill you took out yesterday?"

When Li Kaixin heard that this was the question, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't hide anything, and said with a smile, "Stationmaster, it's just a health supplement to help boost your energy. But the effects are a bit strong; you took it yesterday, and you should have felt some of the effects."

Station Chief Zhao nodded. He went back to sleep yesterday, and when he woke up this morning, he did feel energetic, as if he had become several years younger.

I usually get a headache and dizziness the day after drinking, but I didn't experience any of that today.

So he leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Kaixin, tell your uncle the truth, do you still have any of this medicine?"

"Stationmaster, I won't lie to you, I do have some!" Li Kaixin paused, looking troubled, "However, that portion is reserved for an elder of mine."

Station Chief Zhao was initially delighted, but his expression softened after hearing the second half of the sentence, and he didn't press the matter.

He then reached into the drawer, took out a rectangular wooden box, and handed it to Li Kaixin, his face showing a hint of reluctance: "Kaixin, take a look, will this work?"

Li Kaixin took the wooden box, opened it, and found a ginseng root inside. Judging from the texture of the rhizome and the shape of the ginseng rootlets, it was at least seventy or eighty years old.

He was somewhat surprised and looked up at Station Chief Zhao.

"How is this ginseng? Is it any good?" Station Chief Zhao asked tentatively.

"Okay, stationmaster, this is enough." Li Kaixin nodded and closed the wooden box.

"That's good." Station Chief Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He continued, "Xingxin, if you need any other medications, just tell me and I'll prepare them."

"No need to trouble the stationmaster. It's just that the main ingredient is precious, but I have all the auxiliary materials readily available," Li Kaixin replied with a smile.

"Okay, Kaixin, I'll leave this to you." Station Chief Zhao said sincerely, "Once it's all done, you can calculate how much it should cost, and I'll pay you every penny."

"Stationmaster, no need for money." Li Kaixin smiled, put away the wooden box in his hand, "Just give me this box."

After hearing this, Station Chief Zhao nodded solemnly: "Kaixin, I owe you a big favor this time."

This medicine wasn't prepared for him either.

His grandfather's health is deteriorating day by day. He personally experienced the effects of this pill today, and that's when he started thinking about it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been willing to take out this treasured ginseng.

"Stationmaster, aren't you my elder? You're being too formal with your words," Li Kaixin said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I was being a bit distant today." Station Master Zhao smiled and gestured, "Come on, Kaixin, have some tea."

Then, the two of them picked up their teacups and slowly sipped their tea.
