Zeng Wenjuan was patrolling the mountain when she saw Hu Guiying, a comrade with elegance in her bones. She opened her mouth and wanted to call her, but seeing Hu Guiying's delicate skin, which was especially white and tender, she didn't know whether to call her sister or auntie.
"Auntie, you look really young. Are you this grandfather's daughter-in-law?" Zeng Wenjuan was still struggling, but Goudan had already taken action and hugged Hu Guiying's thigh.
Zeng Wenjuan was frightened by this. She hurried over and pulled Goudan away. She smiled apologetically at Hu Guiying and said, "I'm sorry! This is the first time my son has seen someone as elegant as you. He was too happy and hugged your thigh. I hope he didn't stain your clothes!"
"It's okay, it's okay. I like children so much at my age, let him hold her." Hu Guiying smiled indifferently. She usually envied others who had grandchildren. Today, she also has one. Hu Guiying squatted down and took a piece of cake from the plate. She said to Goudan, "Little kid, your face is so white. Come, grandma will give you a piece of mung bean cake. If it's not enough, you can get more for yourself."
Then Hu Guiying put the plate in front of Zeng Wenjuan. She smiled and said, "Here, this is the mung bean cake I made today. It has a light fragrance of mung beans and melts in your mouth. It's delicious. Try it."
Chen Yitang also sat beside them and said, "Nannan! Try the mung bean cake made by your aunt Hu. She is an expert at cooking. Take two pieces with you to try on the way. We will pack up and go to the village for the free clinic."
Zeng Wenjuan tasted a piece of mung bean cake. She smiled and nodded to Hu Guiying and said, "Aunt, the mung bean cake you made is really delicious. If I didn't have much time today, I would have wanted to learn how to make it from you."
"If you like it, I'll bring you the whole plate. I make a lot of it in my kitchen anyway." Hu Guiying said happily when she heard someone praising the pastries she made.
"Thank you, Auntie." Zeng Wenjuan thanked him with a smile, then lowered her head and said to Goudan, "You can stay at your grandparents' house for the next two days, okay? Mom will come back to pick you up tomorrow."
Goudan nodded very sensibly: "Okay, I will be obedient. When mom comes back, we will go home together."

After packing up, Chen Yitang and Zeng Wenjuan each rode a bicycle to the countryside. This time they went to a village called Hulu Village.
"Didn't they say that there was only one doctor, Dr. Lin, who was providing free medical services? Why are you two here?" The head of Hulu Village, an old man in his sixties, asked Chen Yitang and Zeng Wenjuan when he saw them.
"I recently accepted a little apprentice, so I brought her out to see the world. Besides, I haven't been to your village for a long time." Chen Yintang had previously come to the village to provide free medical treatment on behalf of Lin Baixiang, so he also knew the village chief.
Yu Xinnian, the head of Hulu Village, looked at Zeng Wenjuan and snorted with disdain: "This woman doesn't look like a city girl. She must be from the village. How long has she studied medicine? If she misdiagnoses, it will be bad."
Chen Yitang straightened his face and said to Yu Xinnian: "Doesn't Village Chief Yu believe in my ability? As long as I can bring my apprentice out, I will never let her lose face for me."
Yu Xinnian didn't dare to offend Chen Yitang, so he just said in a gentle voice, "It just so happens that the clinic has two rooms. I've had them all packed up. You guys come with me first and put your things down."
Following Yu Xinnian, we came to a small, low house. Their clinic was actually just an old man living in it, who only knew a few basic things, such as treating colds, stopping bleeding from abrasions, or giving injections. For more, you could only go to the town hospital or the county hospital.
"Do you want to take a break in the morning and start the free clinic in the afternoon, or should I arrange for people to line up now?" Yu Xinnian asked Chen Yintang.
Chen Yitang looked at Zeng Wenjuan and said to Xinnian: "You can just ask my apprentice. I am not doing free medical consultation today. I will just sit by and take charge, so that no one will say that my apprentice will make a mistake. As his master, I have to support him and keep an eye on him."
Yu Xinnian was a little embarrassed by this. He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry. I just said that and didn't mean anything else."
"It's no use saying anything now. I can prove myself with my strength. We don't have anything to clean up. Just gather everyone over here, and I'll sit at the door and check their pulse one by one." Zeng Wenjuan said to Yu Xinnian.
Nodding to Xinnian, a group of elderly people soon came. Behind them were women and children, while the men were all strong laborers and were still working in the fields. They could only wait for the next group, which saved them the time of queuing. Of course, some women also continued to work in the back, waiting for the ones in front. The elderly who could not work had free medical treatment first.
The first elderly person Zeng Wenjuan saw during her free consultation was a grandmother. As soon as she sat down, Zeng Wenjuan could tell what the grandmother was suffering from. But she was afraid that she was not experienced enough, so she took the grandmother's hand and began to feel her pulse: "Grandma, do you always feel palpitations? Difficulty breathing? Chest pain?"
"Oh, yes, yes. My heart is always uncomfortable and I don't know what's going on. It must be because I'm getting old!" The old lady nodded seriously, and was a little excited to have her symptoms diagnosed.
"Coronary heart disease is a common cardiovascular disease. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on overall conditioning and syndrome differentiation and treatment in the treatment of coronary heart disease. I will prescribe a Chinese medicine for you, just take it. If it doesn't work, you can go to Bai Shanxiang in the county town and see Doctor Lin." Zeng Wenjuan said to the old lady, and then wrote a prescription on paper and got the medicine for the old lady.
The old lady watched Zeng Wenjuan write on the paper. She couldn't understand what she was saying, so she asked, "What kind of herbs do you want? I can't eat some of them."
"There are several Chinese medicinal herbs in it, including cinnamon twig, ophiopogon japonicus, angelica sinensis, tangerine peel, poria cocos, and Chuanxiong. They are all good things. You can take them with confidence! Do you know how to decoct the medicine? Or should I tell you more?" Zeng Wenjuan asked gently again.
The old lady waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I used to take Chinese medicine when I was sick. I just boiled some medicine. I can do it myself. Your Chinese medicine is free, right? I don't have money to give you."
"It's free. This is our Bai Shanxiang's free medical consultation in the countryside. As long as everyone gets better after treatment, then what we do will be meaningful." Zeng Wenjuan said to the old lady with a smile.
