Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Chapter 113 Walking in the Team

After Xiong Lao Er and his wife left, although it was still early, Feng Qingqing didn't plan to sleep, as she had a lot to do today.

After getting up in the morning, Feng Qingqing tested her foot again and found that it was completely fine, but she still planned to walk slowly when she went out today.

Feng Qingqing walked out of the courtyard and opened the gate wide. She saw several more bundles of firewood piled up at the entrance and sighed slightly. Gao Zhilan and her husband were really honest. It seemed she would have to talk to them tomorrow and tell them that they already had enough firewood and didn't need any more to be sent.

After getting up in the morning, Feng Qingqing swept the yard inside and out, and also cleaned the two large vats that had been there when Dr. Wang was alive, so that they could be used later.

For breakfast, Feng Qingqing made a bowl of vegetable dumpling soup. After eating it hot, she felt much more comfortable.

Feng Qingqing checked the time; it was almost seven o'clock. She put the two bottles of sauce into the small basket she carried with her, locked both the inner and outer doors, and then walked out.

This morning, Feng Qingqing planned to go to Sister-in-law Ge's house to let them try the two jars of mushroom sauce and diced meat sauce she made yesterday, as freshly made ones taste even better.

Sister-in-law Ge's house wasn't far from the brigade headquarters, near the north side of the brigade. About ten minutes later, Feng Qingqing arrived in front of a house with blue bricks and tiles. In the countryside nowadays, if a family built a house like this, it would be the envy of many people. Not to mention, the blue bricks and tiles themselves were not easy to come by.

Just as he reached the door, he saw Ge Wentang preparing to leave. Seeing Feng Qingqing standing at the door, about to knock, his expression was one of disbelief mixed with surprise.

"Dr. Feng, it's you so early in the morning! Come in, come in and sit down. Have you eaten yet? If not, I made breakfast at home."

Ge Wentang quickly ushered Feng Qingqing into the courtyard, while shouting loudly:

"Honey, Dr. Feng is here. Come out and greet him."

After saying that, he didn't go out. He put the tools in his hand in the corner and accompanied Feng Qingqing inside.

Hearing the commotion, Sister-in-law Ge and Uncle Ge, who were already in the yard, also warmly gathered around. They all assumed that Feng Qingqing had come so early in the morning because she had something urgent to ask them for help or something else. Little did they know that Feng Qingqing had simply gotten up early and come over.

Looking at the enthusiastic family, Feng Qingqing said somewhat awkwardly:

"Uncle, Brother Ge, Sister-in-law Ge, I've already eaten. I just stopped by on the way. It's nothing serious."

After saying that, he quickly turned to Ge Wentang and said:

"If you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it. I don't have anything to do, so I just came to check on you. Also, I made two bottles of sauce myself, and I think the taste is alright, so I thought I'd bring them over for you to try. That's all."

After she finished speaking, the Ge family members felt relieved. At the same time, they thought to themselves that this girl was really thoughtful. She had just sent them some food yesterday, and today she came to return the favor. She was a sensible girl, and they should get to know her better in the future.

Sister-in-law Ge grabbed Feng Qingqing's right hand, insisting that she sit in the courtyard a little longer. Feng Qingqing had no choice but to sit down and chat with them for a while.

During the conversation, it was learned that since using the joint ointment and cough ointment given by Feng Qingqing, Grandpa Ge's cough had improved significantly, and his joints had also improved. At this point, Grandpa Ge laughed heartily. Now he liked Feng Qingqing very much. He felt that this young girl was not old, had good medical skills, and was not arrogant or impatient. He thought she would achieve great things in the future.

Feng Qingqing was also delighted by the old man's reaction, and then she saw Sister-in-law Ge looking at Feng Qingqing with a smile and saying:

"Dr. Feng's medical skills are excellent. Look, the old man's two ointments are almost used up. I was even thinking of coming to you if you hadn't come. When can you make some more?"

Actually, yesterday when Sister-in-law Ge went to see Feng Qingqing, she wanted to mention that Uncle Ge's ointment was almost gone, but she was too embarrassed to bring it up because she thought Feng Qingqing's foot injury hadn't healed yet. Today, seeing that Feng Qingqing was able to go out, she finally mustered up the courage to speak up.

Feng Qingqing understood their feelings and immediately and readily agreed:

"It should have been done in the last two days, but my foot has delayed me. I'll go up the mountain to collect herbs today, and you can go to the clinic tomorrow afternoon, sister-in-law."

Sister-in-law Ge readily agreed and repeatedly expressed her gratitude. Feng Qingqing couldn't bear it, so she quickly said she had something to do and left the Ge family.

After leaving the Ge family's house, Feng Qingqing thought for a moment and decided to go to the old lady's house where she had exchanged vegetables before becoming a sanitation worker. A few minutes later, she knocked on the door, and the old lady, seeing that it was Feng Qingqing, immediately greeted her warmly:

"Oh, it's Dr. Feng. What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you have any extra cabbage or bok choy to exchange. I'd like to take some home and pickle them to eat during the winter."

The old woman's face crinkled with laughter upon hearing this, and as she ushered Feng Qingqing inside, she happily replied:

"Yes, yes, yes, there's plenty. We have green vegetables, cabbages, and radishes in the field. Just pick out as much as you need."

Feng Qingqing was also quite happy. She had come here to exchange vegetables before, and the two of them knew the way well. They arrived at the old lady's vegetable garden and chatted while picking vegetables, looking at the lush green vegetables.

The old lady did most of the talking, and Feng Qingqing would occasionally reply, mostly about the gossip in the village.

"Dr. Feng, you don't know, I saw it. That educated youth Jiang's face is ruined. She took leave yesterday to go to the commune hospital to have her face checked, and I happened to run into her on her way back. Her face was covered in... tsk tsk tsk, it was disgusting. Even if she recovers, her face will still be unbearable to look at."

"You don't know, that Jiang Zhiqing is not the same as before. When he saw me, he glared at me fiercely. His eyes were terrifying."

"And there's more..."

She suddenly looked around and her voice became much softer.

“I heard from my dog, Gou Dan, that the brigade leader’s youngest son, Xiong Baoguo, somehow found out that Jiang Yun’s face hadn’t healed after his mother hit him. This angered Xiong Baoguo, and he argued with his mother. Ye Dahua was so angry that she couldn’t get out of bed.”

"Oh, this is too tragic. Raising such a son, he only recognizes his wife and not his mother. He's like this before they're even married. I wonder what he'll be like after they get married."

Perhaps because she was also a mother, the old woman still expressed deep sympathy for Ye Dahua.

The old woman sighed twice, then, as if she had thought of something, suddenly stared at Feng Qingqing and said:

"Dr. Feng, there are rumors in the village that you and the eldest son of the He family are dating. Is that true?"

Feng Qingqing smiled and nodded. Seeing Feng Qingqing nod, the old woman clapped her hands and said happily:

"That's great! Xiao He is a good kid, but he just didn't have good parents. However, they've already separated from their families and have no burdens. As long as the two of them work hard, their lives won't be bad."

"but..."

She hesitated for a moment, then, considering Feng Qingqing's character, cautiously replied:

"Xiao He is a good person, but his mother, although they have separated from the family, is unreasonable and you can't do anything about her. You have to be careful and not let her target you."

Feng Qingqing knew she meant well, and smiled as she agreed.
