Early on the weekend morning, after the couple finished breakfast, Han Yixian loaded all the things He Yuhan had prepared into the car and then took her out.
He Yuhan brought quite a lot of things with her this time. She planned to first visit her adoptive parents and Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang in Laohewan Village, give them some things, and then go to Liujiatun.
Moreover, He Yuhan also plans to visit Laohewan Village to check on the situation. If the drought is not too severe and Laohewan Village can plant fruit trees this year, she plans to directly hand over the fruit tree seedlings to Uncle Liang.
She had prepared the fruit tree saplings a long time ago, but the drought is so severe now that even if she planted them, there's no guarantee they would survive. So she'll have to wait and see.
It was mid-April, and the weather was gradually warming up. The trees on both sides of the road had begun to bud, and tender grass sprouts had emerged from the ground, giving people a feeling of vitality.
He Yuhan opened the car window and breathed in the fresh air of the countryside, feeling refreshed and invigorated. This era lacked the industrial pollution of later generations; the air seemed to carry a delicate fragrance.
He Yuhan gazed at the distant fields, feeling relaxed and content. She turned to her husband, who was focused on driving, and said, "Brother Han, let's come to the suburbs often in the future. It's good for cultivating our minds and regulating our mood."
Han Yixian sensed his wife's joy and said with a smile, "I'll come with you anytime you want. This is your first time back to Laohewan Village since we got married. You definitely can't go back to Laohewan Village as a village doctor anymore. What are you going to do about this? Should I find someone to take your place?"
He Yuhan replied, "That's also why I'm going to Liujiatun this time. The Aunt Liu I know actually knows medicine; I met her when I was collecting herbs in the mountains. I don't know why, but Aunt Liu hasn't revealed her medical skills to anyone, otherwise their lives wouldn't be so difficult. I always feel like they're hiding from someone."
My purpose in going there was to ask Aunt Liu if she would be willing to move to Laohewan Village and take my place. I think Uncle Liang would definitely be willing to accept them.
That way, Uncle Liang can help them out in Laohewan Village. Aunt Liu can also serve the villagers and earn work points, and with my help, their lives will be a little easier.
The siblings are both quite old; Uncle Liu is much older than Aunt Liu, and he's still managing to work in the fields to earn work points.
Now that they've adopted another child, their conditions are definitely worse. If Aunt Liu worked as a village doctor and earned work points, Uncle Liu wouldn't have to work so hard. That's why I went there this time to discuss this matter with them.
Han Yi nodded and said, "Since this Aunt Liu has medical skills but hasn't shown them, there must be some unspeakable reason. We need to find out the truth so as not to put her in a difficult position."
If all else fails, I'll try to find someone to replace you.
He Yuhan sighed and said, "It's not that easy. Who would want to work in the countryside if they weren't a local? And Laohewan is so remote."
I never expected to marry you so soon. I was even planning to use the years before our marriage to train one or two barefoot doctors. Now I'm truly letting down the villagers' enthusiasm."
Han Yixian laughed and said, "This is my fault. I couldn't wait to marry you. I already talked to Uncle Liang about this at the last wedding, and he understood. We can't be separated just because you're going to be a village doctor. I can't stand that."
I feel lost if I don't see you for a day, and I'd have a nervous breakdown if I didn't see you for several days. You're like my sleeping pill; I can only sleep soundly when you're by my side.
He Yuhan was amused by Han Yixian and laughed. She patted Han Yixian on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You have so many reasons. People will think you're obsessed with your wife and can't be without her for a day."
Han Yixian, however, said righteously, "I'm a wife-obsessed person. My goal is to be with you every day and spoil you rotten. As for what others say, let them say what they want."
He Yuhan blushed instantly after being teased by Han Yixian and glared at him reproachfully, "You're talking nonsense again. What if others hear this and it damages your wise and mighty image? Be more careful in front of others in the future."
Han Yixian turned his head and looked at his wife affectionately before looking at the road ahead and said, "I'm not afraid of what others think of me, but what my wife says is law, and I will obey her without question."
The couple chatted and laughed all the way, and it felt like the time flew by before they arrived at Laohewan Village.
Han Yixian did not go to He Yuhan's house first, but drove directly to the Du family's house.
The three Du brothers were all at home. When they saw their sister and brother-in-law arrive, the eldest brother, Du Haifeng, quickly boiled water to make tea, while the second brother, Du Haichao, went to the fields to call their parents back.
He Yuhan asked her second brother to call Uncle Liang back as well, saying she had something to discuss.
At He Yuhan's wedding, Du Lianqiao and his wife, fearing that their eldest and second sons would affect their daughter and son-in-law's lives, insisted on bringing both children home despite Du Yuhan's attempts to persuade them to stay.
The two children have already finished their elementary school curriculum, so getting into junior high school shouldn't be a problem. They can review at home without any issues. They just need to take the junior high entrance exam together.
Now that the solar term is almost here, it's time to plant crops, and Liang Shouzhen has already started leading the villagers in their work on the land.
The early bird catches the worm; the village had already organized villagers to irrigate and prepare the land for spring planting.
Spring plowing will begin in a couple of days, and we've been preparing the land these past few days.
Following their daughter's advice, Du Lianqiao and his wife did not send their two sons to work in the fields to earn work points. Instead, they let them study at home so that they could get good grades when they took the junior high school entrance exam and have a good start.
Soon, Du Lianqiao and his wife, along with Liang Shouzhen, returned.
Looking at her daughter's rosy complexion and energetic appearance, Wang Yuqiao knew that her daughter was living a good life after marriage. She also noticed that her son-in-law's gaze often followed her daughter, and the young couple frequently exchanged loving glances, which indicated that their relationship was very good.
That put her mind at ease. Besides, Yuhan's biological parents were in the city to take care of her, so her daughter wouldn't suffer any mistreatment.
He Yuhan poured a cup of tea for Uncle Liang and her adoptive father and explained her idea of having Liu Jin replace her.
Upon hearing this, Liang Shouzhen said, "Yixian told me about this when I attended your wedding last time. Now that you're married, it's obviously no longer appropriate for you to be a village doctor."
I've heard a little about Liu Jin from Liujiatun that you mentioned. I only know that they came from other places, and I've never heard that Liu Jin knew medicine. I suppose he has some unspeakable secret that he doesn't want to reveal.
Go ask them if they'd like to. Of course, I'd welcome them. Having a doctor in the village who knows medicine is a huge help. Transferring their household registration to our village is no problem either; we have two old, uninhabited houses. We can just pick one they like, renovate it, and give it to them to live in.”
