During Lin Qingyan's acupuncture treatment, Old Man Huo's headache gradually subsided until it completely disappeared.
Old Man Huo was very surprised: "Young lady, your acupuncture technique is very skilled. You didn't miss a single spot. You're quite capable at such a young age."
Lin Qingyan said, "A doctor must be 100% certain when treating a patient. There is no room for frivolity. You are not my guinea pig, so I dare not misplace the needle."
Old Man Huo smiled and said, "That's true. If you miss, even if I survive, my head will probably hurt even more."
About half an hour later, Lin Qingyan finally removed the silver needles from Old Man Huo's head.
After the silver needles were removed, Old Man Huo felt refreshed and his mind returned to normal. He couldn't have felt more comfortable.
"Young lady, you're quite skilled. Your technique is excellent, even better than those doctors who have studied for over a decade."
"Perhaps I have a natural talent for this; I can learn it quickly and become proficient in it fast."
"Haha, confident and not humble, speaks the truth, has a straightforward personality."
Lin Qingyan said, "The old gentleman's headache must have been going on for a long time. This acupuncture can only temporarily stop the onset of the disease. To cure it completely, he will need to undergo multiple treatments."
Since she had already helped Old Mrs. Huo once, she didn't mind helping him a few more times.
Old Man Huo and Old Woman Huo fell silent. They couldn't keep letting people come here, given their sensitive identities.
Lin Qingyan said, "I will come to visit you two whenever I have time, and then give the old gentleman acupuncture."
"Young lady, isn't this too much trouble for you?" Old Mrs. Huo said.
"Compared to the old man's suffering when he fell ill, my little troubles are nothing."
"You're so kind." Grandma Huo held Lin Qingyan's hand tightly. "We don't know how to thank you enough."
Lin Qingyan looked down at the silver needles and suddenly remembered that Lin Zhiheng's illness also required acupuncture treatment. However, she did not have any silver needles, so she said to the Huo couple, "Sir, Madam, I have a request. My younger brother suffered a severe head injury, which caused him to develop secondary epilepsy. I do not have any silver needles. Could I borrow your silver needles to treat him?"
"Yes, of course we can," the couple agreed in unison.
Old Man Huo said directly to Old Lady Huo, "Don't we still have a set of silver needles? We'll give it to the young lady."
"good."
Old Mrs. Huo quickly took out a black cloth bag from another hidden corner and handed it to Lin Qingyan.
Lin Qingyan was somewhat flattered. "Sir, madam, I will return it to you after I cure my brother's illness."
"No need," Old Man Huo waved his hand. "I have one set here, that one is a gift for you. I can tell you have some skill and a kind heart. You'll be able to save more people in the future, so take it."
Lin Qingyan was surprised that Old Man Huo could still be so kind and compassionate under such circumstances, remembering those who needed medical treatment. He truly had the heart of a healer.
She took the cloth bag and said, "Then I thank you, Grandma and the old man."
"No need to thank me. You've helped us so much; we should be thanking you."
Lin Qingyan put the silver needles into her pocket (space). "Grandma, old man, I should take my leave." She picked up her bamboo basket: "I still have to deliver pig feed."
"Alright, go ahead and do it."
The two elderly people knew that now was not the time to keep her, so they let Lin Qingyan leave.
When the brigade leader and his family returned home, they were greeted by the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen.
The captain chuckled and said, "It must be Zheng Ting cooking."
Li's mother shook her head as she looked at her two sons: "Look at you, look at you. Zheng Ting can do both men's and women's chores. He does the laundry and cooking all by himself. What about you? If you didn't have us women, you probably wouldn't even be able to eat."
Li Gang scratched his head and didn't say anything. He knew he couldn't compare to his third cousin in any way.
He was also a bit of a chauvinist, thinking that washing clothes and cooking were chores that women should do, and that he, a grown man, shouldn't do them. But he also admired Lu Zhengting, a man who was so capable that he could put aside his pride and do the things that women usually did.
Li Fang chuckled, "Third cousin can be placed anywhere, yet he still can't find a wife."
"It's not that they can't find it, it's that they don't want to."
In the kitchen, Old Mrs. Li sat in front of the stove, tending the fire, while Lu Zhengting, wearing a water skirt made from a snakeskin bag, busied himself around the stove.
Cook corn porridge, smash cucumbers, stir-fry water spinach, and make cornbread pancakes.
Grandma Li watched her grandson busy at work, her smile wide and her eyes narrowed to her teeth.
"My little sister's cooking is so delicious."
"Grandma likes it, so I make it every day here."
"Good, good, that's great."
...
When Lin Qingyan arrived at the pigsty, it was already dark. Wu Fatian saw that she had come so late and said, "Little Lin, if you don't harvest enough pigs in the future, it's okay. Just come back early, otherwise it won't be safe after dark."
Lin Qingyan nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Wu. Today, I was delayed because I couldn't find good pig feed at the beginning. I won't come back this late in the future."
"That's good. Safety is more important than anything else."
"Yes, Uncle, I'm going back."
"Go back, take the main road, and be careful on the way."
"Understood, Uncle."
Lin Qingyan returned to the educated youth settlement. Because everyone finished work late for the autumn harvest, it wasn't lunchtime yet. After waiting for a while, Hu Jiajia called everyone to eat.
