"Brother Xiao Hu, are you okay?"

When she arrived at Li Fengjuan's house, Wang Xiaohua could no longer hold back her urge to complain, so she pinched her throat and imitated Tang Xiaotang's speech, then pouted in unbearable pain.

Li Fengjuan smiled but didn't say anything. She pursed her lips and called Mu Huaixi with the bowl in hand, "Doctor Mu, come and have dinner."

"Hey, why don't you pay attention to me?" Wang Xiaohua pouted unhappily, but soon a voice calling her came from the kitchen. She immediately answered loudly and rushed to the kitchen to help with a smile.

Li Fengxia couldn't help but curl her lips as she watched her walk like a lamb. She looked at Mu Huaixi, who was also smiling, and came closer with a bit of embarrassment. "Hey, Xiaohua thought I had something against Xiaohu. I heard that Xiaohu and Tang Xiaotang are about to get engaged. I hope she doesn't stand up for me. How can I live my life if this gets out?"

"Don't you understand Xiaohua's personality yet? Just explain it to her later." Mu Huaixi knew that Li Fengxia was not complaining, it was just a little annoyance between best friends. Even if Fengxia was no longer interested in Xiao Hu, it was impossible for Xiaohua, as her best friend, to like him.

The Li family was very hospitable to her. Mother Li cooked a large table of dishes, including stewed chicken, stewed fish, and twice-cooked pork, as well as various wild vegetables that she liked, and even made three large baskets of wild vegetable buns.

"Come on, come on, Dr. Mu, try this," Mother Li smiled and served her some food. Soon the bowl in front of her was full. Still feeling it was not enough, she stuffed another bun into her hand.

"Alas, there's not much good food in the mountains. Doctor Mu, just make do with what you have."

Mu Huaixi looked at the table full of dishes and took a bite of the bun with a smile. "I've heard that your cooking is delicious, Auntie. When I got home today, I smelled the aroma. Mm, it's so delicious!"

"It's delicious! I haven't eaten such delicious buns in a long time!" After praising, Mu Huaixi tasted the dish and gave a thumbs up to Mother Li.

"As long as you like it, Doctor Mu," Mother Li smiled exactly like Fengjuan.

"Mother Fengjuan has been wanting to invite you to dinner for a long time," Wang Xiaohua smiled and took a bite of the bun. "Here, how about your favorite wild vegetable and oil residue filling?"

"Xiaohua suggested it. She said you like fat residue buns, so we made them."

"tasty!"

"If it tastes good, eat more!" The more Li Fengjuan's mother looked at Mu Huaixi, the more she liked him. The two plasters applied by Doctor Mu made her spend the most relaxing winter in the past five years. Her legs didn't even hurt when the cold snap hit this spring!

"Xiao Mu, eat more!" Feng Juan's mother smiled and picked up some food for her, which made Mu Huaixi feel a little embarrassed.

Li Fengjuan has always been perceptive. She noticed that Mu Huaixi was a little uncomfortable and came over to explain, "These wild vegetables were picked by my mother. Because of your plaster, she can go up the mountain this spring and no longer has to lean on crutches and bend over, staying at home all day."

"It's not just me. Your Aunt Wang, Miss Hu, and Uncle Hu next door have all used the plaster, making spring plowing much easier this year," Fengjuan's mother smiled and patted her legs. "I can say I haven't fallen behind this year."

People in the mountains rely on the weather and the land for their livelihood. Even if they have difficulty walking, they cannot waste time. Many people used to drag their legs to go to the fields, and their legs became worse year by year.

This year, many people have come to tell her that they felt much more relaxed after applying the plaster. Everyone who comes would praise Fengjuan, and some even wanted to be a matchmaker for Juaner.

This made Fengjuan's mother very happy. She had previously decided to send Fengjuan to medical school. People outside gossiped that it was useless to let a girl study, and her family did not support it. But the facts proved that Fengjuan was good at studying and had good luck. She would be able to find a decent job when she returned to the mountains. She was better than the team leader's son!

When Fengjuan entered the health center, she was praised by people outside. Now, the praise from relatives and friends is even more sincere and heartfelt. Fengjuan's mother also found that her daughter has become more and more concerned about her work in the past six months. When she comes home, she will look through textbooks with Xiaohua, discuss and take notes. All of this is brought by Doctor Mu.

"Xiao Mu, please take good care of Fengjuan and Xiaohua in the clinic. Let them handle anything and take care of yourself." After dinner, Fengjuan's mother sent them up the mountain and held Mu Huaixi's hand tightly, refusing to let go. "Come back home when you come down the mountain. We have a lot of buns. Take some back for your family to try!"

"Fengjuan and Xiaohua take care of me on weekdays. They are so important in the health center." Mu Huaixi had been numb after listening to Fengjuan's mother praising him for the whole afternoon, but he still responded to every word of her praise.

She actually felt a little envious in her heart. This was all the love a mother has for her children, and she would never be able to have it in this life or the previous one. She even had a blurry memory of her parents' appearance.

Therefore, she was willing to say a few more words to make Fengjuan's mother happy and reassure her.

Originally, she went up the mountain with the two of them today to take them to continue identifying herbs, but she was sleep deprived and had eaten a lot after Fengjuan's mother fed her. Now, under the warm afternoon sun, she felt very sleepy.

Li Fengjuan asked her to go home and sleep, but she squinted her eyes and waved her hand, asking the two of them to go up the mountain for a walk first. She then found a short tree with lush branches and leaves and climbed up in no time.

If Fengjuan and Xiaohua saw this, they would definitely yell at her to come down, but in fact she often read in the tree in the morning. It was a good time of spring now. The thick green leaves blocked the sun, but could not block the breeze warmed by the sun. The fragrance of flowers and leaves came together, making people feel particularly refreshed.

Mu Huaixi lay down in the hollow of a tree branch. When she was drowsy from the warm breeze, she heard a familiar voice coming from beside her.

"I only know that they're on a mission and haven't returned yet. I don't know if it's the mission you're talking about."

"You don't know? I told you to be smarter and not waste your time on a soldier. What kind of information can a medic possibly find out?!"

"He...I..."

The familiar female voice was a little weak, but soon became strong again. "How can a farmer like me get close to the company commander or the battalion commander? I'm lucky that I can find out this information."

“…”

“…”

After a moment of silence, the man's voice, which had been furious just now, became gentle. "Thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for... I wouldn't have made you work so hard. You should find another opportunity, preferably to visit the military camp."

"Humph, I'm going to get married soon, so when the time comes, you'll just beg me to send you news!"

The two of them huddled together for a while and didn't leave until a long time later. Mu Huaixi, who had been covering his mouth and nose against the tree, didn't breathe again until there was no more movement beside him.

She seemed to have stumbled upon some big secret.
