Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. She took out a prescription from her pocket and handed it to Uncle Li. “Uncle Li, this prescription is good for your rheumatoid arthritis in your legs. Go to the pharmacy and get the medicine according to the prescription for two treatments. I guarantee that your legs won't
hurt for the entire winter.” After helping San Ni with her surgery that day, when she came back from the hospital in the morning, Uncle Li had chatted with her about his rheumatism. At that time, she remembered that there was a prescription that was very effective for rheumatism in her previous life.
'When she went out today, she suddenly thought of it and wrote it down.

“Thank you, Dr. Su.” Grandpa Li took the prescription with a smile. He drove bullock carts all year round, and his body was no longer as strong as before. Especially in winter, his old legs hurt so much that he could not sleep all night. All these years, if not for Dr.r Xu prescribing medicine for him, he would
not have been able to pull the cart.

After getting into the cart, the group of people chatted and laughed as they headed towards the county.

“Dr. Su, when do you and Big Brother Zhan plan to get married?” Liu Daya asked. She was about the same age as Dr. Su, and they had played together since they were young. She had seen Zhan Yihan when he came back the previous time, and he looked even better than before he joined the army. However,
for some reason, whenever she got close to him, she felt breathless. Perhaps that was the domineering aura that the elders always talked about.

“Yes, Dr. Su, we are still waiting for your wedding candy,” Wang Xiaofang smiled and added on. She felt that Dr. Su and Zhan Yihan were quite compatible. They were a perfect match.
At the thought of Zhan Yihan, the corners of Su Jinyue's lips could not help but curl up into a faint smile. “We will probably wait a few more years.” Even if they wanted to talk about marriage, it should be Yihan who brought it up first.

“Why wait a few more years? You're not young anymore. Isn't it good to get married and have children early? Back then, I married my husband when I was sixteen,” Auntie Wu said with a smile.

“Auntie Wa, times are different now. Even if you want to get married, you have to be of legal age,” Liu Daya retorted.

“Alright, alright. All of you have new ideas. I won't argue with you. I'll just wait for Dr. Su's wedding candy,” Auntie Wu said as she laughed.

As they chatted, the cart arrived in the county. There were more people on the streets today than before.

Excitedly, Wang Xiaofang jumped off the bullock cart and looked at the people on the streets. “It's so lively! Dr. Su, let's go to the market.” She had fought hard with her siblings for this opportunity to come to the market. She had to shop the whole market today.

“Okay!” Su Jinyue nodded and followed Wang Xiaofang and the others to the market.

Shu'an Street was the longest and most bustling street in Yanting County. Usually, when there was no market, there would be many people setting up stalls there. Due to the reform and opening up, people's thoughts gradually changed and the number of people setting up stalls also increased.
Before entering Shu'an Street, they already heard a wave of peddling.

“Come and try this delicious crabapple fruit!”

“Children's picture story book! Children's picture story book! One book for ten cents, sold cheaply.”

“Jeans, jeans. Don't miss anything you pass by.”

'When Liu Daya saw the stall selling jeans, her eyes lit up. She pulled Wang Xiaofang and Su Jinyue towards the stall selling jeans. “There are really jeans for sale. Let's go take a look.” She must buy a pair of jeans today.

Auntie Wu pursed her lips and walked towards a stall selling cloth. If she wanted to buy cloth from the supply cooperative store, she needed a cloth coupon to buy it. She wondered how much the cloth was sold for here.

Liu Daya pulled Su Jinyue to a stall selling jeans. There were many people around the stall and most of them were young girls.

Liu Daya excitedly squatted down in front of the stall and reached out to rummage through the pile of jeans at the stall. Not long after, she picked up a pair of dark blue bell-bottomed jeans and waved it in front of the stall owner. “Boss, how much is this pair of jeans?”

The boss took a look and said, “Eighteen!”

Liu Daya pondered for a moment before bargaining, “It's too expensive. Sell it to me for ten yuan.” She only had twelve yuan on her, which she had saved up for a long time.

The boss smiled and shook his head. “Young lady, you're bargaining is ruthless, All these jeans of mine came from Guang City. They're the latest style, and they're not available in Li City. If you're really sincere, you can have one pair for fifteen dollars.”

Liu Daya bit her lip and looked at the owner pleadingly. “Boss, just sell it to me for ten yuan. I really like this pair of pants.” She only had twelve yuan on her. How could she have fifteen yuan? If she spent the remaining two yuan as well, how could she pay for the cart and food?

“Ten yuan isn't even enough to cover the travel expenses from Guang City to here. Young lady, since you like it so much, I'll reduce it by another one yuan. Fourteen yuan. I won't sell it even if it's one cent less,” the owner said in a firm tone.

Liu Daya looked at the jeans in her hand and hesitated for a moment. She gritted her teeth and said, “Twelve yuan then!” She was willing to risk it all for the jeans.

“This pair of jeans is not bad. Boss, do you have my size?” Just as the boss was about to speak, a fashionable lady pointed at the pair of jeans in Liu Daya's hands and asked.

“Yes, yes, yes!” The boss smiled and nodded. He lowered his head and started flipping through the stall. After flipping for a while, he raised his head to look at the woman and pointed at the jeans in Liu Daya's hands. “The jeans in this lady's hands are your size. There's only one pair left.”

“In that case, I'll take it. How much is it?” the woman decided. She had seen on television that her favorite celebrity had worn a pair of pants like that. She had searched the shops in the county and the city, but she had not found this style. Today, a friend had pulled her to shop at the market, but she did
not expect to see it.

“Fifteen yuan. I still have some cowboy clothes here. Miss, do you want to take a look too? They are all the latest products from Guang City. Nowadays, even the celebrities from Hong Kong wear this kind of clothes,” the owner said with a smile. He could tell that the other party was rich just by looking at
her clothes.

“Boss, wait a moment. I want this pair of pants,” Liu Daya said anxiously.
“Do you have fifteen yuan?” A long-haired woman next to the fashionable woman looked at Liu Daya in disdain.

“L…” Liu Daya lowered her head in disappointment as she looked at the pair of jeans in her hands. She really couldn't fork out fifteen dollars, but she really liked this pair of jeans.
Just then, a ten yuan bill appeared before her eyes.

Liu Daya looked up in surprise and saw Su Jinyue smiling at her.

“Take it,” Su Jinyue said.

Liu Daya hesitated for a long time before accepting the money. “Thank you, Dr. Su! I'll return it to you as soon as possible.”

“Okay!” Su Jinyue smiled and nodded her head. She naturally wouldn't say that she didn't want Liu Daya to return the money. Liu Daya was a person with a strong sense of self-esteem. If she did that, it would be an insult to her..
