Days passed by like this, seemingly without any change. However, Yu Mingxiang knew that some things had indeed changed.
Aside from the three children occasionally mentioning Uncle Gu, even she could clearly feel the impact of his departure.
For example, when she serves rice, she subconsciously counts five bowls.
When calling someone to dinner, I would subconsciously glance at Gu Guanhai's room...
However, Yu Mingxiang attributed it to habit.
However, it seemed that Gu's mother really took Gu Guanhai's instructions to heart. She would come to their house every now and then, bringing a few mountain eggs one day and some pickled vegetables the next. If she saw that Yu Mingxiang's family was lacking anything, she would bring it over as soon as possible.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
I felt really embarrassed.
On the contrary, Old Mrs. Gu, seeing that she was embarrassed, comforted her and said, "Dr. Yu, don't overthink it. I know my son is not good enough for you. I'm just thanking you for the ointment."
“My leg pain is so bad. My daughter often takes me to the town hospital, and Guanhai has also brought me medicine from outside. But it only helps temporarily. Once the medicine wears off, my leg still hurts. The plaster you made yourself is the most effective. It stopped hurting after I applied it.”
Yu Mingxiang didn't know how to respond to topics related to Gu Guanhai, so she could only say, "If Aunt Gu finds it useful, that's good. I'll get it for you after I've finished applying it. With time, it might be able to get rid of the problem completely."
In fact, her plasters were just ordinary plaster recipes.
The medicinal herbs were ordinary herbs she gathered from the mountains, which she processed herself, but...
When she was making medicinal plasters for her fellow villagers, she secretly added a little bit of the sacred spring water. To avoid attracting attention, she didn't dare add too much, but the plasters for Gu's mother…
She remembered the favor she owed Gu Guanhai, so she specially brewed a pot of it with spiritual spring water, which is why the medicine was so effective.
Grandma Gu was overjoyed to hear that her chronic leg pain could be cured, and she praised Yu Mingxiang repeatedly.
However, she was also very sensible. Whenever she came to Yu Mingxiang's house, she would not stay for too long, and would leave after saying only a few words.
Yu Mingxiang really couldn't bring herself to dislike such an old lady.
Time flew by, and it was already the end of July.
An autumn wind blew by, and the wheat in the field turned completely golden brown and ripened.
In the frigid Northeast, crops can only be planted once a year, which is crucial for the entire village's food supply for the year, making the harvest the top priority.
Sun Fenglan was going to harvest the crops, and Yu Mingxiang also stopped going up the mountain to collect herbs.
With the harvest so urgent, Yu Mingxiang had originally planned to close the clinic and go to the fields to help, but...
The busier the farming season, the busier the clinic becomes.
Some people cut their hands while harvesting wheat, some fell from stacks of wheat straw and broke their legs, and others strained their backs while winnowing wheat...
Anyway, everyone in the surrounding villages knows that Hedao Village has opened a health clinic, and people rush there whenever something happens because it's convenient.
Yu Mingxiang and her daughter-in-law were also extremely busy. Occasionally, they would take a break to go to the fields to lend a hand, but the villagers who saw them would chase them away.
"Dr. Yu, stop worrying about the fields and go to the clinic to keep watch."
“If you hadn’t stopped Wang Ergou’s bleeding yesterday, he would have bled to death in town. We’ll take care of the work in the fields; it was you who saved his life.”
"..."
With the busy autumn harvest season, Yu Mingxiang's medical skills spread far and wide, and more and more people came to her for treatment.
This year, Hedao Village had a bumper harvest. Except for Zhao Tiezhu's family, who didn't contribute many work points or get much grain, everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
Once the grain is dried, it's almost time to hand over the grain to the state.
That day, the oxcarts, handcarts, and wheelbarrows of Hedao Village...
Trucks of all sizes set out, loaded with public grain from Hedao Village, to be delivered to the town.
Yu Mingxiang stood at the door of the clinic, smiling as she watched this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, when suddenly...
She heard someone calling her name.
"Dr. Yu!"
"Dr. Yu, I'm here."
Yu Mingxiang turned around and couldn't help but laugh.
