Manbao's eyes shone brightly, clutching the two vitex seeds she had found without speaking.
Old Zhou and Ms. Qian sat by the bed, and in the light of the fire, they saw the brightness in their daughter's eyes, shining like Venus in the sky, leaving the couple somewhat dazed and silent.
Manbao happily raised her head and stretched out her little hand to show Old Zhou and Ms. Qian, "Dad, Mom, look what this is?"
Ms. Qian slightly returned to her senses and asked with a smile, "What is it?"
"It's vitex seeds! Today, Fifth Brother picked two strings for me. They look like this when they're dried, and can even treat Mom's illness."
Ms. Qian, smiling, touched Manbao's head and watched as she knelt on the floor, excitedly telling her that from now on, they could buy one less herb when they went shopping for medicines.
Ms. Qian listened with a smile and did not tell her that the medicines were prescribed in complete sets, not individually.
