Li Weidong and Yang Shumei, being relatively sensible, knew that Xie Yuyao's reputation alone was not enough to make the people from the county town let her go so easily; it was more likely that Zhao Honghui had given prior notice.
After Xie Yuyao returned, Yu Wenbo, who had been waiting at the educated youth compound, immediately thanked her and asked if she had given him any gifts so he could make up for it.
"It has little to do with me. If you want to thank someone, wait until Zhao Honghui comes back and thank him." Xie Yuyao said calmly, and then she brought up the matter of the physical examination, "When you go to the county hospital tomorrow, go directly to Dr. Huo to get you an examination and explain the situation to him. If there are any problems, call the brigade headquarters to let me know."
Xie Yuyao will be accompanying Elder Sun to a follow-up appointment with a patient who came from afar for medical treatment tomorrow, so she will not be going to the county town with him.
Yu Wenbo nodded, "I still want to thank you."
His health has improved a lot recently, largely thanks to the medicinal wine Xie Yuyao secretly gave him. Without her, he definitely wouldn't have made it through this ordeal.
After he registered, Xie Yuyao secretly gave him a bottle of medicinal wine and told him not to tell anyone, including his family.
Yu Wenbo guessed that the problem lay with the source of the medicinal wine, so he naturally wouldn't want to cause trouble for his benefactor. He took it back to his residence, hid it, and secretly drank it when no one was around.
This medicinal wine was specially prepared with spiritual spring water according to his physical condition. If he can take care of himself for a long time, his body will be as healthy as that of other ordinary men in less than half a year.
Xie Yuyao was worried that he would take the medicinal wine with him, so she wanted him to take good care of himself during his time away from Qingshan Village. If everything went smoothly, his body could recover within a year.
The next day, Xie Yuwenbo arrived at the county hospital. Because Dr. Huo had several surgeries in the morning, he didn't meet with Yuwenbo until the afternoon. After hearing his purpose, Dr. Huo readily gave him a test order.
He was also very curious about Yu Wenbo's recovery. He remembered that he almost lost his life, but in less than a year, he was able to walk freely and take care of himself. It was no exaggeration to call it a miracle in the medical field.
After expedited internal processing, the results of various tests came out, and Dr. Huo carefully reviewed them. The recovery was even better than he had imagined!
"Besides me, have you seen any other doctors? Or taken any other medicine?" Dr. Huo asked.
Yu Wenbo downplayed Xie Yuyao's influence: "There is a great traditional Chinese medicine doctor in my village, Qingshantun. He helped me regulate my body. Many people in our neighborhood seek his medical advice."
"Are you talking about Old Master Sun?"
Yu Wenbo asked in surprise, "Yes, you know Old Sun?"
Dr. Huo certainly recognized him; the two had even worked together to treat Zhao Honghui before. It wouldn't be surprising if Elder Sun were to intervene.
Although he studied Western medicine, he had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and had long heard of its various wonders.
He also lamented the undeserved calamities suffered by the TCM community in recent years, with many truly skilled TCM masters being demoted and forgotten. Some persevered silently, while others disappeared in this catastrophe.
"If this recovery progresses at this rate, you should be able to fully recover to your pre-injury state in less than six months," Dr. Huo said, before issuing a medical examination report and diagnosis.
After expressing his gratitude, Yu Wenbo went to the Revolutionary Committee to submit his documents. As he was leaving, he bumped into Ren Fei, who was returning from her shift.
After not seeing her for many days, Ren Fei looked much worse, and her energy was nothing compared to when she was in Qingshantun.
Ren Fei saw her former colleague, pulled him aside, and asked about the investigation against him: "I heard from them that Director Su has determined that you were framed. Is it confirmed that there are no problems now?"
"It's hard to say yet. I just submitted my medical examination report, and I hope I'll pass." Yu Wenbo shook his head and asked about her recent situation.
Ren Fei sighed, her mood low, and said, "The situation here is too complicated, it's not easy to get by. I wanted to say a few words for you, but I'm just a nobody, so it's better not to say anything."
She looked at the sunset in the distance and said, "There are no more buses going back to Hongqi Commune. Why don't you stay in the county town for the night? Wait for me, I'll go with you to the guesthouse."
Given Yu Wenbo's physical condition, he couldn't walk that far back to Qingshan Village, so before setting off, he told his family that he might stay overnight and also obtained a letter of introduction from the brigade headquarters.
"No need, I can go to the guesthouse myself."
"Can you find it? Let me go in and let you know, we can go together, I'm off work too." It was a rare treat to see her former teammate so innocent and unpretentious, and she regained her usual enthusiasm.
Not long after Ren Fei went in, she came out with her bag slung over her shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to the guesthouse to settle in first, and then have dinner together. Let me tell you, there are many delicious dishes in the state-run restaurants in the county town, let's have a good meal."
Unable to argue with her, Yu Wenbo sat down in a chair at the state-run restaurant half an hour later and exclaimed, "Don't order so many dishes, the two of us can't finish them."
Ren Fei still ordered three dishes and a soup, and said with a smile, "You don't know, I've wanted to eat these dishes for a long time, but I can't finish them by myself. Now that you're here, you can help solve the problem."
Yu Wenbo sensed from her words that she probably didn't have many friends. Indeed, given her straightforward and outspoken nature, among the shrewd people in her workplace, she was only good for being used and then discarded; who would dare to confide in her?
After the food was served, Ren Fei inquired about the recent situation of the educated youth team in Qingshantun. In high spirits, she ordered a few bottles of beer and started drinking with Yu Wenbo.
Ren Fei accidentally got drunk and said, "It's so good that you're all doing well."
As she said this, Ren Fei's flushed face revealed an expression that seemed to be both happy and sad, and her eyes were as red as a little rabbit's.
"Do you want to go back to Qingshantun?" Yu Wenbo blurted out.
Although it is very likely that Ren Fei reported Jiang Yan, if we really want to investigate, Jiang Yan has only herself to blame, and Ren Fei did not harm any other educated youth.
While he was receiving treatment in the hospital, Ren Fei donated money to the best of her ability. Yu Wenbo was grateful to her, and seeing that she was not doing well, he asked her this question.
Ren Fei asked pitifully, "Can I still go back?"
"Well... if you're interested, I'll ask the brigade leader tomorrow." Yu Wenbo didn't make any grand promises, and hesitated before adding, "But if you leave, you'll definitely have to give up your job as a red armband wearer. Are you willing to do that?"
“What’s there to be reluctant about? This is a big melting pot. It’s all my fault for being too naive back then, mistakenly thinking that this place would allow me to shine for the country and the people. In reality…” Ren Fei kept shaking her head, regretting her past actions.
Yu Wenbo owes so many people a debt of gratitude; he hopes everyone is doing well. Ren Fei is so unhappy right now; if she could return to Qingshantun, things certainly wouldn't be any worse.
“If you’re sure, I’ll talk to the brigade leader and Secretary Liu,” Yu Wenbo said. “Qingshan Village is in great need of labor right now. As long as you work hard, you’ll definitely do well.”
He didn't mention the future college entrance exam because Ren Fei's current status is sensitive, and she has a criminal record, and their relationship isn't at that level yet.
