Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
"Please tell me, Doctor Zhou." Li Erlang said sincerely.
"That person is my old wife. Before we moved here, women from the surrounding villages asked her to deliver their babies. She has a lot of experience!" Doctor Zhou introduced.
Upon hearing this, Li Erlang immediately made the decision, "Then I'll trouble you, Auntie, to take care of this matter. I'll have Yan'er discuss this with you later!"
After the consultation, Doctor Zhou stood up to say goodbye. Li Erlang also had to go to supervise the work, so the few of them went together towards Rongcheng.
Lin looked at her brother standing in front of the door and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to come over today? Why are you here? Have you had breakfast?"
Lin Feng shook his head. After getting up, he rode his horse to his sister's house. He wanted to see Doctor Zhou take his sister's pulse in person and hear about his sister's current physical condition with his own ears before he could feel at ease.
Hearing that he had not had breakfast yet, Lin no longer bothered to scold her brother and hurried to serve him breakfast.
"Uncle, after breakfast, are you in a hurry to go to Xingren Hall?" Li Yan asked.
"There's no rush!" Lin Feng replied.
The pharmacy would be busier in the morning. At that time, both Dr. Zhou and Zhou Xun would be busy seeing patients and prescribing medicine. Normally, he would not disturb them at this time.
"But what's the matter?" Lin Feng asked again.
Li Yan nodded frankly: "Uncle, please accompany me to Dr. Zhou's house later."
Lin Feng thought about what Doctor Zhou had just said and nodded.
After the two finished their breakfast, Raymond Lam wanted to go and get the horse but was stopped by Li Yan.
"Uncle, let's go in the donkey cart. If possible, I want to bring Grandma Wang to see Mom!" Li Yan suggested.
Lin Feng thought that this was indeed the safest way to do it, so he took Li Yan and drove the donkey cart towards Zhou's house.
The donkey cart stopped in front of the Zhou family's door. Li Yan knocked on the door and asked, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"
The person who opened the door was Zhou Min, whom he had met once before at Xingren Hall. Zhou Min was also taken aback by the two people standing in front of him, but then he reacted and said, "You are here to look for my grandfather, right? My grandfather has gone to the medical clinic in the city! You can go there to find him."
Li Yan smiled and said, "We're here to look for Grandma Wang. Is she home?"
At this time, a question came from the main room: "Xiao Min, who is it?"
"Grandma, it's Miss Li." Then she led the two of them home.
Li Yan explained her purpose to Wang, hoping that she could go with her family to visit her mother who was about to give birth. Li Yan had heard that experienced midwives could tell whether the fetus was in the right position just by feeling the belly.
After hearing Li Yan's request, Wang realized that it must have been her husband who revealed that she could deliver babies.
Last year, her grandson went south with Miss Li and her group. Wang was very grateful when she heard from her grandson that Miss Li had risked her life to save him. After hearing Li Yan's request, she agreed without any hesitation.
"Xiao Min, close the door of your house and come with me to Lijia Village!" Wang said to her granddaughter.
When they arrived at the Li family, Wang looked at Lin, who was pregnant, and said with a smile, "How many days are left? I see your belly is so round, it looks like you're carrying a boy!"
Lin was delighted by Wang's words and replied, "About a month."
She had lost a boy before, so she wondered if this child could come back into her belly this time to make up for the loss in her heart.
Li Yan saw the two of them standing in the yard talking and hurriedly ushered them into the main hall: "Grandma Wang, please sit down first. I'll go get you some tea!"
After Li Yan left, Wang looked at Lin's complexion carefully, touched Lin's belly, and gave Lin some instructions, such as: Eat less tonic food and walk more in the next few days.
Wang explained everything from daily life to daily routine to Lin's instructions in detail: "You gave birth to a child smoothly before, so this one shouldn't be difficult either. Just relax!"
Lin was a little anxious at first, but with Wang's careful comfort, she gradually calmed down.
When Li Yan came back with the tea, she saw her mother's smiling face, and she must be in a very good mood.
"Grandma Wang, Sister Zhou, have some tea!" Li Yan placed the tea in front of the two of them.
"This tea was brought back from the south last time. If you like it, you can take some back." Lin said with a smile.
Wang picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and smiled as she declined, "Thank you for your kindness, but we're old now, and if we drink too much of this tea, we won't be able to sleep at night. Please don't waste this good thing!"
Wang spoke to Lin for a while, then stood up to leave: "Relax, there won't be any problems during the birth!"
Lin was comforted by Wang, and her anxiety gradually dissipated. She took Wang's hand and said reluctantly, "It's rare for Aunt to come home. Just have a simple meal here before leaving!"
Wang patted Lin's arm and said, "When you give birth to a big fat boy, I will definitely ask you for some wine!"
Seeing that Wang Shi couldn't be kept, Lin Shi had no choice but to send her to the door. At this time, Lin Feng, who had been staying in the courtyard, came up with a donkey cart and said, "Sister, I'll take them back!"
Before Wang could refuse, Lin advised, "Aunt, you don't even want to eat here, so you can't refuse us to give you a ride. We brought you and your grandson here, so you should have us send you back!" After that, she pushed Wang onto the donkey cart.
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so the grandmother and grandson had no choice but to get on the donkey cart.
After everyone was seated, Lin Feng whipped the whip and drove towards the village where the Zhou family lived.
Lin stood by the door for a long time, until she could no longer see the donkey cart. Then she murmured, "I wonder if Zhou Min has been promised to someone?"
This morning, when Mrs. Lin heard that her brother had no breakfast, she was even more determined to find a wife for him. When she saw the granddaughter of the Zhou family just now, she felt that they were a perfect match in terms of both appearance and age, and she even had her eyes on this girl.
There was no conversation along the way. Lin Feng drove the donkey cart and stopped in front of Zhou's house.
Wang: "Young man, please take our grandson and grandson with you today!"
Lin Feng shook his head: "We are the ones who disturbed you!"
After a few greetings, Lin Feng straightened his back and drove away in the donkey cart.
Looking at the young man walking away, Wang couldn't help but sigh: "This young man looks quite good, I wonder if he is married?"
The speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it to heart. Zhou Min, who was standing aside, blushed.
Wang looked at her granddaughter's embarrassed and angry expression, but she didn't say anything. However, her heart was clear as a mirror. Did her granddaughter also have a good impression of this man?
In this case, when the old man comes back in the evening, tell him about this matter and ask him to find out about the man's character.
After all, my granddaughter’s marriage has been delayed for so long because of her parents’ death. It can’t be delayed any longer!
