Lanyang Town, Liujia Village!
Zhou Yueting was sitting at the door of her house and talking to several people in the village.
For most rural areas, if it is not a festival, almost two-thirds of the people in the village will be gone. Most of those who remain in the village are women, children and the elderly. The young people, the main labor force in the family, have gone out to work.
National Day is just a day or two away, and more people are returning to the village. Some young people who work in Xihua City or nearby have also come back during the holiday.
Because it wasn't the official holiday yet, not many people came back, but the village's popularity was slowly increasing.
The women who stayed in the village liked to get together and talk when they had nothing to do, and chat with their parents and talk about family matters.
People who have lived or grown up in the countryside know a phenomenon: usually there are crowds of idle people in the village, and their favorite gathering places are the more lively places in the village, such as the village center, or the homes or doorsteps of some people in the village who have a better life and like to chat with others.
Neighborhood relations in rural areas are more harmonious than those in urban communities, and neighbors visit each other more frequently. However, it is also normal for people to despise the poor and favor the rich, and to join the red and suppress the black.
A poor person in a busy city is ignored by everyone, but a rich person in a remote mountain area has distant relatives. This phenomenon is true everywhere.
The more rural the area, the more serious this phenomenon is.
After all, in the city, everyone is unfamiliar with each other. In a community, the houses are similar. Your house may be a two-bedroom house, and mine may also be a two-bedroom house. Neighbors don’t know much about each other’s jobs or family background.
But in the countryside, everyone has some guesses about which family lives well and which family lives poorly. Some of the houses they live in are small two-story houses, and some are just small bungalows. After living together for so many years, everyone knows what several generations of ancestors did.
It is precisely because we know each other so well that the phenomenon of despising the poor and loving the rich seems to be more serious.
Now many people in the village know that Yun Heng, a descendant of the Yun Tian family, is a doctor at Xihua Hospital and is doing very well. Even Guo Youtang from the county hospital was sent to Xihua City and seems to have gone to a large hospital in Xihua City for further studies.
Guo Youtang went to Xihua City, and Guo Youtang's wife would definitely brag about it to some people and talk about how great Yun Heng was.
Guo Youtang actually works in a community hospital, but the village is far from Xihua City. People who don’t know him don’t know where Guo Youtang works. They only know that he used to work in a county hospital and now he works in the city, which is definitely better than before.
Guo Youtang's wife did not hide the fact that he was studying, which made the villagers speculate about Yun Heng even more.
Now, whenever they have free time, some people will gather in front of Yun Heng's house. Zhou Yueting likes to talk to people, so the front of Yun Heng's house has become the gathering place with the most people in the village.
"Sister Yueting, how about I introduce a date to your Hengheng?"
Someone said to Zhou Yueting with a smile, "One of my third sister's nieces is also a college student. She's quite pretty. I have a photo on my phone. Would you like to take a look first, sister-in-law?"
"No, no!"
Zhou Yueting smiled and said, "Hengheng already has a girlfriend, and he kept it a secret from me before. If my mother hadn't been hospitalized a while ago and I hadn't gone to Xihua, I wouldn't have known about it."
"Hengheng has a girlfriend?"
Many people around asked with a smile.
"Given our Hengheng's looks, his girlfriend must be pretty good."
"That's right, our Hengheng is not only handsome, but also a doctor in a big hospital with a good job. He's going to be very picky when it comes to finding a girlfriend."
A group of people were speaking flattering words.
Yun Heng is now a doctor in Xihua City. His income is naturally not the highest in the village, and the Yun family is not rich now. However, the profession of doctor inevitably makes some people want to please and curry favor with him.
In the future, if someone in my family gets sick or something, I can save a lot of trouble by going to an acquaintance in Xihua City.
Wasn’t it Yun Heng who helped Liu Dafei and his wife get an appointment with a specialist at Xihua Hospital?
The child is almost half a year old now.
Zhou Yueting's mother was hospitalized a while ago, and many people in the village heard about it. The old lady was over 90 years old, and some people speculated that she might not be able to make it. As a result, she arrived in Xihua City. It was said that she was personally treated by a famous Chinese medicine master, who was Yun Heng's teacher. He was extremely good. The old lady stayed in Xihua City for a week, and after a few days of recuperation after returning, she was able to get out of bed and walk.
Some people are rich, and they may not lend you money even if you flatter them. But for someone like Yun Heng, if you have a good relationship with them and really need the money, even if you give them a gift or ask them to introduce you to an expert, it will usually be useful.
The fear these days is not that you can’t afford to give gifts, but that you can’t even find the temple gate with the gifts.
A group of people were chattering at the door when Zhou Yueting's cell phone rang.
"Hey, son!"
Zhou Yueting answered the phone in a loud voice, afraid that people around her would not know that it was her son calling.
"You want to come back and be with Linlin?"
Zhou Yueting's voice became louder: "Are we almost getting off the highway?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, kid? Mom wasn't prepared at all."
"Yeah, okay, going to visit your grandma?"
"Okay, then Mom will clean it up."
After a few words, when Zhou Yueting hung up the phone, someone next to her asked, "Sister-in-law, is Hengheng coming back?"
"Yes, he brought his girlfriend with him, and he didn't tell me in advance. He called me when we were about to get off the highway. I was completely unprepared."
Zhou Yueting stood up as she spoke: "The house is a mess, I'll clean it up first."
