Chapter 181 Born to be incompatible
Han Rou curved her lips and smiled sweetly, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "Thank you for your suggestion, Doctor Ye. I will eat more sweets."
Yun Qiao smiled and said nothing more. After stuffing the can into their mouths, he turned and went to the health room.
Yun Qiao no longer paid attention to what happened to Han Shuo and Han Rou, the brother and sister.
I heard that they had a quarrel, and for a while Han Rou came to the clinic to get a sick leave note by herself.
First, she had a stomachache during her period and couldn't work. Then she had diarrhea after eating something cold. Another time, she got a fever after being caught in the rain. Each time was worse than the last. However, after less than half a month, Han Shuo couldn't stand Han Rou's self-torture and reconciled with her. After that, Han Shuo accompanied her to the clinic again.
Of course, that’s a story for later.
That afternoon, Lu Xun came from the field office and brought the flashlight that Yun Qiao wanted.
The bright iron shell feels heavy in the hand.
Lu Xun said that he had put two No. 1 batteries in it, so the light bulb lit up as soon as Yun Qiao turned on the switch. However, Qi Tian couldn't see the brightness, so Yun Qiao took a look to make sure the bulb was good and then turned it off.
"Comrade Lu, this flashlight you bought doesn't look cheap. How much is it in total? Do you need more?"
Lu Xun shook his head and said, "No, the flashlight is exactly ten yuan plus a business voucher. The two No. 1 batteries are free. The money and vouchers you gave are just right."
After saying that, Lu Xun took out the receipt from the supply and marketing cooperative of the field office from his pocket and handed it to Yun Qiao: "Here, this is the receipt, take a look."
Yun Qiao took it and put it in his pocket without even looking at it. He smiled and said, "Comrade Lu, you always do things properly. I'm very relieved."
Lu Xun was very pleased with Yun Qiao's praise.
He smiled, his teeth visible but his eyes unseen, and said, "Then you go ahead and get busy. I'll go report back to Captain Yang."
Yun Qiao nodded: "Then you are busy."
After sending Lu Xun off, Yun Qiao put the flashlight in the drawer, locked the door, and went to the office to find Jiang Ling. He told her that he wanted to learn midwifery from Wang Ying.
Jiang Ling agreed wholeheartedly.
After all, as long as Yun Qiao learned how to deliver babies, the women in her own company would no longer have to travel seven or eight miles to other villages to find a midwife. How convenient that would be!
It sounds good to say it! It can be regarded as their achievement as a leader.
So the next day, around noon, Yun Qiao hung a sign on the door of the clinic, saying that the clinic would open later in the afternoon and asked patients not to worry.
After closing the door, Yun Qiao went to Captain Yang's house and borrowed Qin Guifen's bicycle. Then he bought two cans of malted milk and some candies, cakes and fruits at the company's supply and marketing cooperative. Then he took the gifts and went to Yangjiatun where Wang Ying lived.
Yangjiatun, as its name suggests, is a village where most people have the surname Yang. Wang Ying's husband's family also has the surname Yang.
When Yun Qiao arrived at Yangjiatun, he happened to catch the villagers getting off the boat.
Yun Qiao stopped his car, found a friendly-looking woman, and asked where Wang Ying's house was.
Wang Ying, a rare midwife in the surrounding villages, was a celebrity in Yangjiatun. She was also very popular, and when Yun Qiao asked, the aunties and sisters in the neighborhood volunteered to take her to Wang Ying's house. It was also convenient because everyone lived nearby.
Yun Qiao pulled the bicycle and followed several aunts and sisters to Wang Ying's house.
Several aunties and sisters were also busy chatting and asking about Yun Qiao's situation.
"Miss, are you a relative of Wang Ying's? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Yun Qiao politely said, "Auntie, no. Aunt Wang and I are not relatives. This is my first time in Yangjiatun."
"It's your first time here. Your accent doesn't sound like you're from the Northeast."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Indeed not. I am an educated youth who came here to work in the countryside."
"I immediately guessed you were an educated youth. You look clean and simple, and speak softly, completely different from the loud voices of us Northeastern girls."
"Are you married?"
"Look at what you're asking. He's an educated youth, and he doesn't look very old, so how could he possibly get married? You should be asking, are you 18? Is he dating?"
"Yes, yes, that's the right question."
"So, young educated youth, are you eighteen this year? Are you dating?"
"No. I'm only seventeen, so there's no rush to find a partner."
Yun Qiao was embarrassed for a moment, thinking: I am in contact with someone, but my body is not yet 18 years old, the legal age for marriage. So she always feels like she is having a premature relationship without the knowledge of the adults.
Even though she has no parents.
The aunties and sisters from Northeast China are very talkative, and Yun Qiao can hardly keep up with their chatting.
Fortunately, Wang Ying’s house was not far from the village, and Yun Qiao was quickly liberated by Wang Ying.
After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic aunts and sisters, Yun Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Ying brought Yun Qiao home and saw her leaning her bicycle against the wall of the gatehouse. He asked her with a smile, "Xiao Ye, how come you have time to come today? There aren't many patients in the clinic."
Yun Qiao nodded. "Not many, just two or three people coming to get medicine. I figured I'd have some free time at noon anyway, so I might as well come and get to know you. I hope you won't blame me for coming uninvited."
"Don't blame me, don't blame me. I just like the hustle and bustle." Wang Ying smiled and joked, "Besides, gifts are always welcome. I can't chase you away just because of all these bags, hahahaha. Come in and sit down."
Wang Ying's family has a large yard. Although he grows vegetables and raises two chickens, there is no chicken droppings in the yard and it is kept very clean.
The main room was kept very tidy. It looked clean and tidy at first glance, without a trace of clutter.
Yun Qiao placed the malted milk, candies, and cakes he had brought on the table and asked with a smile, "Auntie, are you alone at home?"
Wang Ying poured Yun Qiao a glass of water, handed it to her, and said, "Your uncle is in charge of the farm tools in the warehouse. He has to wait until all the tools are put back in their places before he can lock the door and come in. As for the children in the family, they separated a few years ago. They were given a separate homestead and built a house. So it's just your uncle and I living here."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "It's good to separate the family. Living separately won't cause conflicts."
"Of course. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are naturally incompatible. Living together is bound to cause conflicts. I just can't stand the whole family living together." Wang Ying said, "We each live our own lives. I can live in peace and quiet, and my daughter-in-law can be at ease too."
