As expected, Li Aimei was kept.

She did not go back to her parents' home, but stayed directly in the small clinic. Seeing that there were not many patients that day, she could not help but borrow the sickle from the Pei family and went out to cut grass.

The dry grass in autumn can be cut to make firewood. She cut a large bundle by herself, and also carried a bundle of dry firewood and some wild vegetables in her hands.

Jiang Xi couldn't help but admire this ability.

So strong!

She had no food, so Jiang Xi lent her ten kilograms of coarse grains and gave her the kitchen to use. Li Aimei did not refuse, but when the Pei family left some dishes for her, she refused.

Having received so much kindness, she felt embarrassed to eat their food again.

Jiang Xi didn't force herself to do it. She just helped when she was able to and didn't really want to support another person.

However, at dinner that day, many people came to Pei's house with their bowls in hand to watch the excitement.

Because Jiang Xi was selected to go for further studies.

This was a great thing, especially since they had surpassed the unprofessional team doctor Li Quan. Everyone was very happy and talked happily until one day when everyone was about to leave. A man came hurriedly and brought a piece of gossip: "Did you know? Doctor Li is gone!"

Everyone was shocked: "What? Who left?"

"Is it true that Doctor Li has passed away?"

One by one they just stopped moving and sat back, staring at her as she spoke.

The man grinned, proud that he had gotten the first-hand news: "Really, I just came back from there. Didn't I buy some heat-relieving soup from Dr. Jiang? I sent it to my daughter. I heard that she had a heat stroke in the afternoon. What happened? She told me that she had been sitting in the clinic for a long time in the afternoon, but she didn't wait for Mrs. Li!"

"Hiss! Are you really leaving? Just for further studies?"

The villagers didn't quite understand. This was a lucrative job. Although they had to work occasionally, it wasn't hard work. Six centimeters a day, how good was it? Why did they want to leave?

If we ask for them, they will definitely stay there till death.

The man laughed sarcastically: "How can you not leave? How dare you stay there when you are useless? If it weren't for him, my daughter would have come to Dr. Jiang."

Now, since I am not from Peijia Village, I need money to see a doctor. It would be fine if I just wanted to see a doctor, but it would cost a lot more money to get medicine. If Jiang Xi was the team doctor, the situation would be different.

"Yes, my relatives in Linjia Village envy us. Not only is the medical treatment cheap, but the doctors are also very good."

"Yes, to be honest, my relatives also wanted to come and see the doctor, but when they heard that they were not from the same village and would be charged a higher fee, they decided not to come. They were really stupid. Although it costs money, it is still quite cheap. Besides, Doctor Jiang can cure diseases with his medicine, unlike Li Quan!"

"Hasn't this been experienced before? Now that he's gone, the team doctor position is vacant? Is Dr. Jiang going to be the team doctor?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Xi listened and didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

Be happy, there will be more patients soon.

Since the Sixth Brigade has no doctor, it is very likely that she will become the team doctor.

But she can no longer use the system as she pleases, so what is the point of these points? !

Jiang Xi thought with regret, but this was indeed happy news. Although she didn't like the team doctor very much, she still felt annoyed.

Inside the house, there was a lot of noise outside, but the father and son, who didn't like the hustle and bustle, sat together playing chess.

This is one of the gifts sent by one of Pei Hejun's comrades.

Now there are two patients, just in time to relieve their fatigue.

The two of them played chess and chatted at the same time, mainly for Pei Hejun to understand what happened during his coma for the past few months.

He had just woken up two days ago, and there were many people coming to see the excitement. He had very little time to spend with his family, and Jiang Xi also had a lot of things he didn't know and couldn't tell, so he took this opportunity to ask his father.

"Boss, why haven't I seen you in the past few days?"

When Pei Hejun asked, Pei's father's hand holding the chess piece trembled, and his thumb rubbed the chess piece. It seemed that he was thinking about where to move, but in fact he was depressed and guilty.

The third child was a very capable and filial child, so he always looked down on his two older brothers.

In the past, whenever the eldest and second oldest did something wrong, they would always be scolded by the third oldest. They were quite honest. But since the third oldest got into trouble, the situation has changed. If we tell these things out, the third oldest will definitely hold a grudge, but why don't we just say it?

Father Pei glanced at his third son. His eyes looked dark and deep in the dim light, as if he could see what was in his mind at a glance.

He coughed lightly and explained, "He is too embarrassed to come."

"How can you be so shameless?" Pei Hejun waited patiently, his thin and strong face looking calm.

Father Pei silently told the story of the eldest and second sons' recent attempts to get pensions. The most recent one was his hospitalization. After that, he whispered, "The eldest son has been corrupted by his wife. He was not so unreasonable before."

Pei Hejun said coldly: "He was corrupted by his grandmother. How could he be corrupted by his sister-in-law? They just happened to get together!"

Father Pei remained silent.

Parents usually have filters on their children, so he made that statement. But when his son exposed it, he remained silent. It was also his fault that the child was not taught well. If he had not been a little cowardly at the beginning and let the child's grandmother take the child away to raise him, this would not have happened.

He was in a panic and didn't play chess very well, and suddenly lost his position as the leader.

Pei Hejun saw this and attacked without hesitation, defeating Pei's father in one fell swoop. Three moves later, he captured Pei's father's main chess piece and uttered two words from his thin lips: "General."

"Kid, you win again so quickly." Pei's father sighed.

Pei Hejun said calmly: "It should be."

It's a habit to find the broken one and kill him with one blow, otherwise how did he survive?

"Are you coming yet?" Father Pei didn't mind. He put away the chess pieces and asked.

"No." Pei Hejun shook his head and looked outside.

The people who came to chat finished talking about the last bit of gossip and left with a feeling of not having finished. Only Jiang Xi and her two sisters were left to clean the house, while Pei's mother went to boil some hot water.

Jiang Xi immediately went into the house to rest.

What else?

Father Pei smiled, put away the chessboard, and was about to pick up his walking stick and go into the house to rest for a while when he saw a family coming in from outside.

Pei Deming, Xu Cui, and their three children: Chunhong, Fenghua, and Qiuhong.

The family came over at night.

Pei Hejun's eyes darkened, and he quickly caught the guilty look on their faces, and his eyes became colder.

"Call me uncle quickly." Pei Deming tried to act calm. He strode in and saw his third brother sitting in the main room. He looked very well, and except for being a little thinner, he looked no different from when he was in good health. His heart skipped a beat and he slapped his son, urging him to hurry up.

His three children, the oldest is fifteen, the youngest is twenty-three, and the oldest is thirty, are all sensible enough to know what their parents have been doing recently. Therefore, their faces are red, and when they are urged, they call out to him obediently: "Hello, uncle."

Xu Cui was also smiling at the side, looking very amiable.

Pei Hejun said nothing, glanced at them, and drank his tea.

Pei Deming's family was left out in the cold, and their faces looked a little unhappy, but they came over to show their respect, so they took a deep breath and held back. Pei Deming found a chair and sat down, smiling, "Third brother, you look really well. I've been too busy these past two days. I have three children to take care of at home, and I was afraid that my work points would not be enough, so I didn't dare to rest or come to see you. Third brother, don't blame your elder brother."

Jiang Xi finished his work, stretched his back and walked in when he heard these words and burst out laughing.

She was originally tired and wanted to go into the house to lie down for a while, but now she didn't want to leave. She waved to her two sisters, and Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi also came over. The three sisters sat on a bench, and one of them took out melon seeds from the drawer and started cracking them.

She had to see how thick-skinned this family was and how much they could say. It was also a good opportunity to see Pei Hejun's character. If he was soft-hearted and believed that the family was connected by bones, then she should consider what to do next.

Pei Deming was annoyed and his face darkened, especially when he saw that Jiang Xi not only did not leave after laughing, but also found a seat and looked at them with a smile as if he was watching a play, which made him even more angry.

However, when he turned around, his mother was outside ignoring him, his father was sitting there quietly, and the third child acted as if he didn't see anything. No one cared about Jiang Xi's excessive behavior, and he felt disappointed again.

Pei Hejun still saw it, but he didn't show it. He took another sip of tea, then put down the teacup with dignity, and his eyes unconsciously turned to Jiang Xi.

Does she like eating melon seeds?

He looks very skilled and can crack out a lot of melon seeds with just a few "crunch, crunch" sounds.

Jiang Xi blinked: "You want it?"

She generously grabbed a handful and passed it over: "It's quite delicious."

Pei Hejun took it subconsciously, was silent for a moment, put the melon seeds on the table, picked up one, and peeled it carefully.

He doesn't have much strength yet, so he has to do things slowly and accumulate strength. He is also slow in peeling the melon seeds, but he is extremely serious.

This family's disregard was too shameful. Pei Deming laughed dryly: "Third brother, are you blaming your eldest brother?"

Pei Hejun peeled melon seeds and raised his eyes with a cold expression: "Shouldn't I be blamed?"

Pei Deming's face flushed, but he still nodded: "It's my fault! It's my fault, but we all thought you were hopeless. You were a vegetable, and you needed someone to take care of you. You know the situation in our family, and you still need someone to take care of you. How can that be possible?"

Pei Hejun asked: "My pension is not money? Is it not enough?"

Pei Deming muttered: "How long can it last? I can't eat it for a lifetime, right?"

Pei Hejun said coldly: "You can't go without food for several months, right? Why are you so anxious? What's wrong with waiting for a few more months, or two years? Will there be no money left?"

If it was his parents who were complaining, he would definitely not say these words.

But this person did nothing but think about money.

Ugly eating manners!

Pei Deming was speechless. He had no feelings for his younger brother. When something happened to him, the first thing he worried about was his parents' support in their old age. He wanted to get the money over to him so that he wouldn't suffer any loss.

But he would wake up.

He never thought that this man would survive.

It led to such an embarrassing situation.

Pei Hejun said disappointedly: "Although I look down on you two, I always thought that we are a family after all, so every time I came back, I would bring something for the children. But now it seems that I thought too much. You should go back and stay with your distant relatives in the future. Don't come over here so often."

"Third brother!" Pei Deming was startled and stood up.

Xu Cui's expression also changed slightly, and she said anxiously: "We did go a little too far, but we are a family after all."

Pei Hejun said in a deep voice: "So I didn't do anything to you! What? You still want me to be like before and take care of your children when buying food? Forget it!"

"Uncle San, you can't say that. We were wrong, but the child is innocent, right?" Xu Cui stomped her feet in anger and wanted to fight. She could be ignored, but she still wanted her son to join the army in the future!

But she was pulled by the two children, and Fenghua whispered, "Mom, let's go."

As children grow older, they also begin to feel ashamed.

Pei Hejun just glanced at it and ignored it.

Pei Deming felt cold in his heart. He didn't expect Pei Hejun to be so cold-hearted that he made such a decision. He reminded him, "Third brother, do you really think so? We are brothers!"

Pei Hejun looked at him and said firmly: "Get out!"

"Dad!" Pei Deming was completely panicked and looked to Pei Zhong for help.

Pei Zhong waved his hands and said, "Go away, go away! I've been sitting here for a long time and you haven't asked me a single question. How can you regard me as your father? Forget it!"

Pei Deming: “…”

His face turned blue.

Damn it, he really ignored his biological father and only cared about Pei Hejun, because he knew that the third brother was a promising man and should not be offended. But now the more he offended him, the worse it got.

Seeing the disdain in his father's eyes, the indifference in his brother's eyes, and the three people who were eating melon seeds and watching the show, he could no longer stay there and strode away. Xu Cui followed him in a panic, and the three children trotted out.

So embarrassing!

The annoying family left, and Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi looked at each other quietly and smiled.

Jiang Xi also smiled with satisfaction. Very good. Pei Hejun did not forgive this group of people. She hated the eldest family more than the second family. At least the second family didn't cause much trouble, but the eldest family was different. They couldn't get along peacefully.

She put away the melon seeds and patted her two sisters on the head: "Okay, go brush your teeth and wash your face."

"Got it!" the two of them said crisply, picked up the melon seed shells on the table, and skipped out to wash up.

Pei Hejun lowered his eyes and sighed.

Suddenly, I felt a heavy feeling on my head.

A gentle female voice said, "Blood ties don't mean everything. Some people are better off staying away from them. It's okay."

Pei Hejun's face flushed, and he forgot all about his disappointment. He just looked at the person in front of him, his eyes slightly curved, clear and beautiful.
