The herbal sachet is designed to be suitable for more people's constitutions, so the formula is quite conventional, with the scents of Ai Cao, ginger slices, and prickly ash taking center stage.

But while the formula is basic, the herbs used are not.

At this moment, a thick bucket of brown herbal soup is poured into the bathtub and mixed with warm water. The children are the first to jump in.

Lun Chuan carried a bucket of herbal soup, checking in the kitchen where Master Chai and Xiaozhou were still preparing the ingredients for tomorrow: after all, there are dozens of people!

Try to use all the good stuff without any waste; definitely requires some extra thought.

Seeing how attentive the young boss is to his friends, he asked, "If we do this every day, hogging the pot isn't okay, right?"

So many people, boiling herbal soup would mean their big pot never stops, which really delays the kitchen prep.

Lun Chuan laughed and said, "No worries, they've all discussed it. If there's an effect tonight, they'll go to the urban area tomorrow to buy industrial-grade hot water buckets, one for each family."

"Then, whoever needs it can fetch it themselves, so I won't have to deliver any more."

Though it's a bit laborious for the adults to carry buckets, it's not impossible. Qin Yun seemed lazy, purely because he loved to slack off.

Only then did Master Chai feel relieved.

And Lun Chuan urged with a smile, "It's okay to have breakfast a bit later. It's already late now, and you both have worked hard. Rest early."

At this moment, the village is silent. Master Chai and Xiaozhou looked at the time; it's just past 9 — at Changleju, they wouldn't be off work yet!

But in the village, thinking of getting up early tomorrow to prepare, the master and apprentice quickly tidied up the kitchen and went back to their room to sleep.

Smelling the strong scent of herbal soup in the air as they walked, they were tempted:

"Why don't we buy some bath sachets tomorrow as well?"

It's inconvenient to soak here, but we can take them home!

Master Xiao Zhou had already planned:

"To open a pharmacy in the village and have a reputation that attracts people from all around, they must have some skill."

"I've already decided, tomorrow I'll buy enough for ten days or half a month, and send them back for my wife to try bathing with. If she likes it, I'll buy more later."

Wow, young people really are quick-witted!

Master Chai also felt tempted instantly.

However, this thing is quite expensive; the sachet doesn't seem to have any precious herbs, yet it costs 80 yuan per packet.

But thinking of the ingredients they've used on this side, he shook his head, pondering discussing it with his wife tonight, and maybe allocate ten thousand or so first?

A peaceful sleep ensued.

By 4:30 the next morning, when the villagers began their day, it was still silent in the guest house.

Master Chai and Xiaozhou were busy in the kitchen, not seeing a single person come down, feeling curious.

Meanwhile, Qiaoqiao joyfully rode her Daduo over, only to find the yard unusually quiet, and went to find Lun Chuan:

"We agreed last night to get the fish trap today! Aren't the kids coming too?"

Lun Chuan laughed and said, "They're probably still sleeping. How about a bit later? You can go play with Chen Chi at Riverside Beach for a while first."

Qiaoqiao shook her head, "Chen Chi slaughtered sheep in the middle of the night, it's tiring work. Let him sleep a bit more this morning. I'll go do my homework first!"

Teacher Xin asked him to think about how to entertain his friends and write out a plan.

The mature vocabulary made him, as a school kid, feel accomplished, so talking about homework, he wasn't resistant but rather eager.

Before leaving, Qiaoqiao gave a worried reminder, "Let me know when they wake up, Brother Lun Chuan."

Lun Chuan nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, they probably won't wake up before 6."

After delivering the herbal soup last night, he washed up briefly and went to bed.

While these adults with children had to take care of the kids as well.

After settling the kids, they had to tend to the elders, with bathing and washing and all that fuss. If they were in bed by 10:30, it was considered efficient.

Plus, they were busy all day yesterday, their energy almost depleted. Barring any unexpected events, this sleep would certainly be a solid seven or eight-hour one.

As expected.

Only after 6 did people start to slowly get up.

Everyone breathed in the fresh morning air, seeing the already bright sky, and felt the gradually rising temperature in the courtyard's flower corridor. Then they contentedly exclaimed:

"This sleep was truly comfortable."

Wasn't it just!

The grandpas and grandmas found a common topic.

At their age, good sleep is rare. Many are taking supplements like oryzanol and melatonin. But after the bath last night, their bodies felt warm and soft, and they quickly fell into a deep sleep, waking up solidly after 8 hours.

For middle-aged and elderly people, this is so rare.

They felt rejuvenated too!

Someone even commented, "I walked over 10,000 steps yesterday, but today my legs aren't sore, nor do my feet hurt, and I feel great."

"Is it the countryside's nurturing or yesterday's bath sachet working?"

But truth be told, the sachet might actually have some effect.

Mr. Yun felt his belly, which overnight had reduced from round and firm to comfortably soft:

"Bathroom visits were smooth this morning! Comfortable!"

No matter if it was due to the sachet, the main thing is he found it useful.

When he said this, everyone else agreed.

Isn't that right!

Woke up in the morning with a stomach ache, sat in the bathroom, and it was over in no time.

Those with constipation or frequent diarrhea, in general, everyone doesn't take this long in the bathroom.

Now solve everything in a minute...

Oh my!

Oh my!

In life, the four essential things - eating, drinking, excreting, and sleeping - are all resolved here...

This is too comfortable!

Thinking of this, everyone got excited again, especially looking forward to today's clinic visit.

But Doctor Xiaoguo hasn't started work yet, and since they got a special session, it's naturally a bit embarrassing to go too early in the morning.

At this moment, as adults and children gradually washed up and came downstairs, each snacking a bit to keep the stomach satisfied, Lun Chuan finally showed up:

"Beibei, Danqing, He Luo, Brother Qiaoqiao said you all agreed yesterday to go check the fish trap today. He's been waiting for you to get up for a long time. Are you going?"

"Yes, yes, let's go!"

He Tuo was the first to jump up!

The furry touch on the exposed calf flashed and disappeared, and something warm stuck to his side.

He turned his head, and Little Ten's familiar dog face was still pressed tightly against him.

He Tuo's bouncing shrank a lot.

After a while, he said, "Once I've had enough to eat, I'll have plenty of strength!"

If only his voice were louder, so others could hear it better.

The kids already knew what a fish trap was.

Yesterday, they watched as Qiaoqiao placed some crushed snail meat inside, and then slowly lowered the trap to the riverside beach.

They heard that if you get up early, don't let others take the trap first, you'll reap a bounty of fish and shrimp.

They didn't know only Lao Song's family went to this part of the riverbank, but upon hearing Qiaoqiao had been waiting for so long, they got very anxious: Could it have been taken away by someone else already?

Brother Qiaoqiao, so mysterious, so amazing!

Everyone woke up with full energy; there's no reason not to go, right?

Not just the kids, even the adults who had never seen it were curious, so they all crowded around.

Watching Lun Chuan inform Qiaoqiao, they began heading to the fork in the road.

Qin Yun and to mention a few were particularly excited, even photographing mountains, waters, and scenes, capturing everything, even the wild grass.

Lun Chuan helplessly said, "It's not your first time here, is it?"

Qin Yun got even more excited, "What do you know? Do you understand the joy of waking up spiritedly, only to find it's just 6 a.m.? It feels like I've got double the time in my day!"

"If you put it that way..." He Kuang said gloomily:

"After finishing up at 10 last night, with my efficiency, I could have done another solid round, written five or six thousand words..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yun's expression also turned peculiar.

He quickly took out his phone to check the writer's dashboard, realizing he hadn't posted a leave notice, so complaints flooded in.

Looking at He Kuang, his latest leave chapter had been posted just 10 minutes earlier, unsurprisingly blaming Lun Chuan for being too hospitable, making him eat and play till exhaustion, accidentally falling asleep. If anything, blame him...

Oh, good heavens!

He jotted it down mentally, then turned around to post an identical leave note!

Seeing them messing with their phones, Lun Chuan had a premonition.

When checking the book reviews, seeing complaints from readers and then glance at the two thick-browed, nonchalant grown men, he sneered:

"I asked Doctor Guo to contact familiar medicinal and equipment suppliers. They have a big pot for brewing this kind of medicinal soup, which will be delivered by noon."

"Tonight, as robust men, you should contribute a bit for the family."

Yun Feng was confused for a moment: "How did I get involved? My old back can't take all that up and down."

"Besides, haven't I been good enough? I haven't pressed you for drafts, and I didn't say anything about your leave..."

It's not that exaggerated, there's an elevator, you know?

Most of this was in jest, but everyone knew Yun Feng's back wasn't good.

Lun Chuan wasn't in a rush: "No worries, Doctor Xiaoguo is excellent at conditioning. After seeing him today, carrying a few buckets of medicinal soup tonight will be no problem."

As for taking a leave...

"I don't have money, so say whatever you want."

Oh, good heavens! Thick-browed, and he's got drafts stashed behind their backs!

Qin Yun, to mention a few, felt a burst of frustration.

But being embarrassed after eating their food, and unable to beat their arguments, they had to retreat in grievance.

Meanwhile, the children had no interest in adult conversations.

They were fascinated by the new countryside, loving the dew on the grass, grasshoppers, and dragonflies with damp wings alike.

Until Qiaoqiao also arrived at the crossroad.

He originally wanted to ride Daduo with the three kids, but his sister said the kids were too small and might not be able to hold onto the handlebars, so they had to give up.

However, the morning wasn't so hot that they couldn't walk and chat happily!

He smiled brightly as he quickly ran over.
