Chapter 157 This day is impossible to talk about.
As for Xiao Taohua, the junior doctor at the clinic, well, people usually don't go to her when they're sick, since there's an older doctor at the clinic. Xiao Taohua's only purpose is to clock in regularly and collect her salary.
Yes, she has a fixed salary of eight yuan every month, which is quite impressive for someone her age to earn a salary, but no one is jealous of her, and she does a very leisurely job.
The villagers they encountered saw Little Peach Blossom carrying a medicine basket coming down the mountain and laughed, "Little Peach Blossom, you've gone up the mountain to gather herbs, haven't you?"
Little Peach Blossom greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Auntie."
"Good, very polite." The other person smiled and watched Little Peach Blossom leave.
Honestly, I wonder which family will be able to marry this lucky baby in the future. But they certainly don't dare to even think about it.
Smiling, the man continued working, carrying his hoe.
Many people greeted Xiao Taohua as she walked back to the clinic.
"Little Peach Blossom, come here quickly," Lin Aisheng's wife, Wang Dongqin, called out.
"Aunt Dongqin." Little Peach Blossom walked over with a smile.
"Look what this is?" Wang Dongqin asked with a smile, opening her arms wide.
"Red eggs!"
"Of course, I saved this for you, take it quickly!"
"I can't accept this." Little Peach Blossom put her hands behind her back.
"You'll get angry if you don't take it?" the other person said, feigning anger.
Little Peach Blossom had no choice but to accept it: "Whose red eggs are these?" She hadn't heard of any family in the production team having a baby.
"From my maternal family."
"Xiaowang Village?"
"Yes, she had a big, healthy boy!"
"Good."
"It's really good. They've been waiting for this for many years, it must have been tough. But let's not talk about that anymore, I have to go back now."
"Yes, Aunt Dongqin, take care."
"It won't be long, the little rascal will be back for dinner soon."
Little Peach Blossom held the red egg and hummed happily. Everyone is in a good mood when a new life arrives, even if she doesn't know the new life.
The clinic currently only has two people: a young woman named Taohua and an old doctor.
The old doctor had a deep understanding of Xiao Taohua's medical skills back then, but the Lin family did not want to publicize it, and the old doctor did not do such a thing, so he treated Xiao Taohua as a junior.
"You're back?" Hearing the noise, the old doctor looked up with a smile.
"Yes, Grandpa Lin, please take it easy."
"I'm not so old that I can't walk. You seem to have had a good day."
"I'm reaping good results every day."
"Children should learn to be humble."
“Dad said there’s no need to be modest; being too modest is hypocritical.”
The old doctor choked for a moment: "Alright, hurry up and organize the medicinal herbs."
"Yes, Grandpa Lin!"
The old doctor smiled and then said, "I've put all the food on the table for you. Eat first and then you can clean up."
"I knew Grandpa Lin was the best."
"Sweet talk!" The old doctor had long since stopped falling for that kind of thing, but he was still secretly pleased.
"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Lin, my master said he has a good medicinal wine, would you like some?"
"want!"
"My master said that if you want it, you have to promise to bring him what he wants."
"That old geezer!" The old doctor snorted, but he was still incredibly envious of Tieguai Li's things. That guy's medical skills were far superior to his, yet no one had known about them all these years.
Thinking of his pitiful medical skills, and then of Xiao Taohua's medical skills, the old doctor sighed deeply.
There is no comparison.
However, as an elderly man living alone in the village, he is still very content. He has an old friend, Xiao Taohua by his side, and occasionally he can see a doctor and prescribe medicine. If he can't treat someone, he can send them to town. It's quite good.
"By the way, there are some new educated youths arriving upstairs. You can go and see what's going on after you finish eating."
"Here we go again?" Little Peach Blossom looked over, holding her rice bowl.
In recent years, apart from the first three or four years when educated youth would always come, there has been no one after that. Even now, when I hear that educated youth are coming, I feel a sense of disbelief.
The former educated youth settlement has long been abandoned. Those educated youth who came here in those years have either married or returned to the city. Now the educated youth settlement is a wasteland, surrounded by weeds that no one has cleared.
"Yes, I received the news a few days ago. These past two days, Tiangen has been arranging for people to clean up the educated youth settlement." Lin Tiangen is definitely doing a better job as the team leader than Lin Guangyi. Anyway, the people of Xiaolin Village have long forgotten about Lin Guangyi and are all enthusiastically following Lin Tiangen's lead!
"I have no idea."
"You spend all your time either gathering herbs in the mountains or processing medicinal materials, how would you know about these things?"
"Hehe." Little Peach Blossom chuckled twice.
"You're not a child anymore, hasn't your mother ever suggested you find someone to marry?"
"Grandpa Lin, my mom said there's no rush, I'm not even twenty yet."
The old doctor nodded: "Indeed, you need to be careful with your choices. Don't accept the ones you don't like. I heard that Song Yi's father went to propose marriage to him?"
At this point, Little Peach Blossom looked at the old doctor speechlessly: "Grandpa Lin, what do you want to say?"
"Song Yi is a pretty good kid, and we know him well."
“Grandpa, I’ve always considered Song Yi my older brother.”
"Oh, is that so? Can't we change it a bit?"
"cannot."
"Oh, never mind then, it's up to you to like him. When it comes to marriage, you should marry someone you like. But poor Song Yi."
Little Peach Blossom: ...
"Grandpa Lin, why do you keep bringing this up? I remember Dad saying you never got married in your whole life, why are you urging me to get married?"
The old doctor pretended to be angry: "You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics."
"Ah, I'm eating, I'm eating..."
Old doctor: ...
He wasn't really angry. With Xiao Taohua by his side, to be honest, the old doctor has been much happier over the years.
After lunch, Xiao Taohua sorted out the medicinal herbs she had collected in the morning. Before she could finish, she heard a sound coming from the village entrance.
The tractors rumbled along.
The old doctor looked at Little Peach Blossom: "Looks like they've brought someone back. Aren't you going?"
"Grandpa Lin, the rest is up to you!" Little Peach Blossom, of course, loved watching the excitement, and couldn't wait to run off.
The old doctor shook his head helplessly and took over the follow-up work on Xiao Taohua.
On the tractor, the educated youth looked alright; at least the people around them they had seen along the way seemed to be in good spirits.
Those who are able to come here are from families with some means. Except for one or two who are randomly assigned, everyone else knows what kind of place they will end up in.
"I heard that Xiaolin Village is considered wealthy in the surrounding area. As long as you work hard there, you won't lack food or drink. It's even more comfortable than the city."
"Where did you hear that?" one of the female educated youths asked her curiously.
The other person proudly raised his head: "My dad asked around, otherwise he wouldn't have used his connections to get me here."
Upon hearing this, the educated youth's eyes widened: "You got here through connections? Wasn't it supposed to be random?"
The other person glanced at her and said, "You're too naive. How could such a good place be random? They'd fight tooth and nail for it."
"I am random."
...
Okay, we can't talk about this anymore.
