Chapter 694 Extra - Will I Never Get to Wait?
Looking for someone?
“Yes.” Chen Ci watered the last herb and hung the watering can on the wall. “I don’t know who he’s looking for. I only know that he is a very important person who has been missing for many years.”
"So he's been searching for many years?" Fang Tong suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Chen Ci nodded: "Yes...and he dresses himself up so smartly every day because he wants to be in the best condition to face the person who might appear at any time."
Fang Tong immediately understood that emotion.
Although she didn't know whether Uncle Ren was waiting for a lover, a friend, or a family member.
But she could really empathize with this kind of persistence and expectation.
With a soft sigh, Fang Tong could only offer her silent blessings: "I hope he can find it..."
Chen Ci smiled but didn't say anything.
Isn't he the same?
The person he's waiting for might also be someone he could never meet in his lifetime.
...
After the villagers who had come for their consultations left, Chen Ci and Uncle Ren went into the laboratory to discuss Fang Miao's condition, while Fang Tong, having nothing else to do, sat on the veranda and flipped through a book for a while.
Just as it was getting close to lunchtime, some villagers came to deliver vegetables and were quite surprised to see Fang Tong.
"Are you, little girl, a friend of Dr. Ren?"
"Yes, we've come to visit Dr. Ren."
"I said there were cars parked at the entrance of the compound."
The villagers warmly left the vegetables and said they would bring fish and chicken over that evening: "Since you've brought friends, you should treat them to something nice."
"It's okay, no need to go to such trouble."
"Yes, yes, Dr. Ren never charges for consultations. We don't have much to give as gifts, so we just come over every now and then to bring some vegetables."
After Fang Tong thanked them, the villager hesitated and asked, "You're not going to take over as the doctor and leave this place this time, are you?"
Sensing the worry in her voice, Fang Tong explained, "We're just here to visit."
The villagers were relieved: "Okay, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Stay and celebrate the festival before you leave. The village will be very lively then."
"We're not sure when we'll go back either," Fang Tong said. "But we'll stay if the timing is right."
"good."
The villagers left happily.
Fang Tong carried the vegetables into the kitchen and glanced at the calendar before realizing that this weekend was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Today is Wednesday, there are still four days left.
I don't know if they will have already returned to Qing City or will still be here by then.
Seeing that Chen Ci and Uncle Ren were still busy in the laboratory, Fang Tong started preparing lunch by herself.
Her cooking skills are average; she can't make elaborate meals, but she can still fill your stomach.
The villagers brought fresh cucumbers, eggplants, potatoes, and green vegetables. Fang Tong also took out the shrimp that Chen Ci had brought from the refrigerator to thaw, and planned a few dishes.
About an hour later, Chen Ci and Uncle Ren came out of the laboratory and smelled the aroma of food as soon as they stepped into the courtyard.
Uncle Ren looked quite content: "It feels so good to have a meal right after finishing work."
Smelling the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen, Chen Ci felt a warmth in his heart: "Teacher, please sit down and have some tea. I'll go help in the kitchen."
Uncle Ren sat down leisurely: "Go ahead."
When Chen Ci entered the kitchen, Fang Tong had just finished making the last shredded potato and was turning off the heat to plate it.
"Are you done with work?"
"Yes, we'll continue this afternoon."
Fang Tong wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead with a sense of accomplishment: "I've also cooked the dishes, but I don't know if they'll suit your tastes... after all, my cooking skills are just average."
