Zhou Silang prepared to return to Qili Village the next day. He had already signed a contract with County Magistrate Tang, and he needed a large quantity of seeds; he had to head back early to make purchases throughout the village. Otherwise, if people sold all their wheat seeds or ate them, where would he find so many for them?
So, early in the morning, he climbed out of bed, put the leg of lamb he had wrapped up the night before onto the cart, and after packing some steamed buns and pastries from the kitchen, he set off.
Manbao and the rest had also gotten up, and seeing this, they bid him goodbye as usual. "Silang, have a safe trip," they waved.
Zhou Silang waved back at them.
With Zhou Silang gone, Zhou Lijun found herself with nothing to do, so Manbao enthusiastically invited her, "Lijun, come with me to see patients outside the city."
Zhou Lijun thought about it. Since she had nothing else to do that day, she nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll assist my cousin."
