The weather was getting warmer, and Tang Chunming’s drowsiness had greatly improved. Li Feng left as soon as he said he would, for fear that if he delayed any longer he would miss Tang Chunming’s delivery time. But he was still worried about leaving Ming Ge’er at home alone with a little child like A-Lin.
So before leaving, he asked Zhang Xiu to go and accompany Tang Chunming in the evening when he was away and leave the external affairs to the village head and Dashan to take care of.
Zhang Xiu naturally had no objection, he was also worried about Tang Chunming being alone after Li Feng left. Although Tang Chunming was alone with A-Lin when Li Feng was there, he and Da Shan knew how alert Li Feng was after the last robbery incident.
The other side would rush over if there was any disturbance in the yard
More than 300 chicks were caught in the yard, they only managed to buy them from other villagers’ houses, Tang Chunming had just fed the chickens water and feed and returned to the house.
The two hens were still here at first, and A-Lin still went to pick up eggs every day. When the grown chickens were moved to the chicken coop in the back mountain, A-Lin cried for a while.
Then Tang Chunming remembered he had coaxed A-Lin by promising that he would let him pick up eggs from the chickens and sell them for money. Tang Chunming thought it was no wonder that friends and colleagues who had children in the previous life would say not to make promises to children casually, otherwise, it would give you a headache.
For this reason, Tang Chunming had to catch a few hens from the chicken coop to keep them for laying eggs, finally he was able to coax A-Lin.
Being a parent is not easy, he cannot just focus on making money. In the future, he should save money for selling eggs for A-Lin.
After knowing this, Zhang Xiu secretly laughed at Tang Chunming for spoiling his child too much. Fortunately, A-Lin was a well-behaved child. If it were his two boys, he would have slapped them on the buttocks before they could even get to Da Shan.
Tang Chunming could only explain that he had done something wrong and had broken hes promise..
Xiaohua was lying under the grape rack, while Xiaohei and Xiaodai were staying in the house, but they were also lying there with their tongues sticking out.
The three children were practicing calligraphy in a study room set aside for them, Tang Chunming had given them lessons before.
Zhang Xiu brought embroidery work and talked to Tang Chunming while doing it, and also watched Tang Chunming do needlework, Tang Chunming could only pick up the scissors to cut clothes with great sadness.
Fortunately, after doing it for a while, his hand feeling was slowly recovering. These were all skills left by his original body, he comforted himself in his heart. Those famous designers and tailors were mostly men in his previous life, so making clothes was not a big deal. It didn’t mean that he became emasculate because of this, anyway, he would never touch embroidery.
He had previously made a set of clothes for A-Lin and two small clothes, now he was making clothes for adults, preparing to give Li Feng a surprise when he came back. Tang Chunming thought to himself that he was really heading towards the virtuous path.
”Oh, you may not know what happened that day, I only heard about it from other gers later,” Zhang Xiu recounted. “That day in the threshing ground, what Li Conggen’s husband and his little ger did was really embarrassing.”
”Ah? What else did that Ge’er do?” Did he do something else apart from giving him a lecture?
”That’s right, they really embarrassed themselves,” Zhang Xiu said with contempt, “They went to the soldier’s table and said they were Li Feng’s relatives or something, they went there when Li Feng was not around. They just wanted to use their status to bluff people, and the way that young ge’er behaved, I am a married ge’er but I am too embarrassed to say it out loud.”
Tang Chunming was dumbfounded: “What is he doing? Could it be that he wants to choose one of those people to marry?”
Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes: “He is not stupid, he knows that Yu Mu and the others came from Dingzhou Prefecture and hold an official position. If he really married such a person, wouldn’t he follow him to the city to enjoy a good life?”
“But they shouldn’t treat everyone as fools, they didn’t even get the attention and were ignored, even after they claimed that they were relatives.”
Tang Chunming couldn’t help but chuckle, after staying for a few days, none of those people mentioned this to him and Li Feng, but Zhang Xiu was right.
They really thought that the people who came here would not know about Li Feng’s relationship with those so-called relatives. Not to mention others, Yu Mu, that blabbermouth, must have said everything before he came.
As they were talking and laughing, someone knocked on the gate. Zhang Xiu put down the work in his hands and went out to open the door.
Tang Chunming didn’t care, but after waiting for a while, Zhang Xiu didn’t return, but a voice was heard.
”…What are you doing here? You are not welcome here, and Ming Ge’er doesn’t have time to entertain you…”
”…You are not Ming Ge’er, and this is not your home, why should I listen to you? After all, my relationship with Ming Ge’er is closer than you since we are relatives…”
The voice behind him sounded familiar, wasn’t he the young ger who lectured him about being virtuous in the threshing yard that day? What was he doing here? Tang Chunming frowned unhappily, held his waist, and walked out.
At the gate of the courtyard, two people, one wanting to go in and the other not letting in, were pushing each other.
The younger ger saw Tang Chunming coming out and shouted: “Brother Ming, I knew cousin Feng was not at home, so I came here specially to talk to you, why is this person stopping me from coming in? Brother Li Feng is my real cousin.”
The implication is that his family has a much closer relationship with him than with Dashan’s.
Tang Chunming and Zhang Xiu really underestimated the thickness of the ger’s skin. Tang Chunming originally thought he was too lazy to argue with a teenager, otherwise, it would seem that he, a grown man, was being unreasonable.
But now he realized that his indifference was seen as a concession in the eyes of others. Or weakness that he can be bullied? So he took advantage of the situation.
Or did he think that his words at the village square that day had worked on him?
”Brother Xiu let him in.” He didn’t care before but, as a grown man, he didn’t think he couldn’t handle such a little child.
”Humph, see, even Ming Ge’er asked me to come in, you really treat this place as your own home.” The little Ge’er glanced at Zhang Xiu proudly and walked around him to the yard, with an obedient smile on his face and immediately said:
“Ming Ge’er, I’ll accompany you, time will pass faster if you have someone to talk to, and I can also help you with some things. It’s not convenient for you now that you are pregnant.”
Zhang Xiu knew that Tang Chunming had no good impression of this young ger, and he did not take his words to heart, but he quickly returned to Tang Chunming, worried that he would do something excessive.
Before leaving, Li Feng entrusted Ming’ge’er over to him, so he stared at the young Ge’er vigilantly, he did not dare to underestimate his thoughts.
Tang Chunming thought this smile was too fake compared to A-Lin’s, and all his thoughts were written on his face.
Looking at the scene of someone despising him and trying to please him simultaneously, he was afraid that his eyes would be damaged if he watched it for too long.
He was waiting for him to say this, even if he didn’t, Tang Chunming would lead him to say it. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Thank goodness you’re thinking of me. It’s inconvenient for me since A Feng left. In the past, A Feng did all those things alone.”
“Now I’m worried that A-Xiu and I can’t finish them, A-Xiu, the sheep pen should be cleaned today. The weather is hot and the smell is strong, we have to clean it every day, as well as the stable and chicken coop. Oh, and we need to tidy up those plots of land as well.”
If Zhang Xiu still couldn’t understand what Tang Chunming meant, then he would really be foolish. Brother Ming was naughty, but this idea was indeed perfect. This little ger was unwilling to do any work at home, he didn’t know that his good brother had already spread his good reputation in the village, saying that he regarded himself as a ger from the city.
So he immediately said: “Yes, I was just about to go to the yard over there to work, Brother came at the right time, I needed a hand.”
The Ge’er’s face suddenly turned pale as if he had eaten a fly, he came here with good intentions to talk to someone, but he was asked to do this dirty work.
The villagers should really see how this shameless ge’er who seduced his cousin treats his cousin, he only acts like a good person in front of others.
Seeing that the ge’er was standing there without moving, Tang Chunming didn’t care, he took the tools and followed Zhang Xiu to the new yard. Zhang Xiu wanted to stop him, how could he let Brother Ming do these jobs with a big belly, but Tang Chunming gave him a look, and he immediately understood
If Tang Chunming didn’t move, how could he have an excuse to order people around, even Tang Chunming was busy, how could you, a young ge’er, have the nerve to sit in someone else’s house and wait to be served?
”Just pretend and don’t really do it.” Zhang Xiu lowered his voice and advised Tang Chunming.
”Do you think he can stay long?” Tang Chunming sneered. He came here in a skirt and put on airs, making people wait on him. It was exhausting to talk to him. Tang Chunming was used to seeing himself and A Xiu wearing shorts and straight pants, he rarely saw people wearing skirts, making him uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the new yard, they saw the young ger following them awkwardly, with a look of disgust, but he couldn’t hide the greed in his eyes.
Everyone in the village knows that the vegetables in this yard are valuable, and the money from selling the vegetables can buy many new clothes and jewelry.
The young ger adjusted the silver hairpin on his hair and tiptoed into the new yard. Because the road had been watered in the morning, some mud was on it, and it accidentally got on his shoes.
The young Ge’er glared at them in disgust, but looking at the two people getting farther and farther away in front of him, he couldn’t go back on his word, otherwise, how could get close to Tang Chunming and improve his relationship with his cousin Feng?
When they arrived at the sheepfold, Zhang Xiu was washing the stone-paved ground with water, the water would carry the dirt down the slope into the manure pit dug on the other side.
There was a lid on it, and flowers and plants planted around it, so the smell was not too strong in the farmyard. However, the water brought the dirt outside and accidentally splashed on the ge’er’s new skirt. The ge’er immediately screamed: “My new skirt!”
Zhang Xiu put down the broom, walked over, and said bluntly,” What’s the matter? Isn’t this how people in the countryside work? If you want to work, hurry up. Can’t you see Ming Ge’er is also working?”
”You! Don’t come over here!” The young ge’er backed away in disgust and accidentally stepped on a ‘booby trap’, which made him scream again. He turned around and ran out quickly.
Zhang Xiu leaned one hand on the broom and bent over with laughter: “I didn’t expect that he couldn’t stand it. The Conggen family wouldn’t be planning to marry a ge’er like this to the town or the city to enjoy a good life.”
“No wonder his relationship with the boy worsened after they moved back. Who can stand this? Humph! let’s see if he dares to come over next time.”
He couldn’t stand it before he did anything, he really thought of himself as an official’s son in the city, he looked down on such contemptuous people.
”Okay, let’s go back after we’re done, but he’s lucky, he still stepped on the booby trap.” Tang Chunming wanted to do it, but Zhang Xiu wouldn’t let him do it, even if it was just a show.
Someone had already cleaned the sheepfold early in the morning, so it was considered clean. Because he knew that Li Feng was leaving, Xiao Zhuzi’s mother came to help every morning and only told Tang Chunming to go to the chicken coop after everything was done.
So Zhang Xiu rewashed the floor until there was no odor, and then he helped Tang Chunming leave.
He raised his sleeves and smelled himself: “There is no smell at all, it’s more like some flower fragrance, you go back to the house first, I’ll close the door and wash my hands and come over.”
In the next few days, the young Ge’er from the Li Conngen family did not show up again. He was afraid that if he came, he would be asked to work again. He was unwilling to do any chores, so how could he go to another family to do dirty and smelly work?
Shen Fulang was also informed of this incident, but it wasn’t Tang Chunming, Tang Chunming had no intention of complaining to him.
Instead, Zhang Xiu felt that this matter should be told to Shen Fulang to prevent Li Conngen’s family from causing any more trouble and to let the elders of the Li family suppress this family. Li Feng is not at home now, so the villagers keep an eye on Tang Chunming.
Shen Fulang had never had time to come to Tang Chunming’s place, it was only after the young Ge’er of the Huang family settled down in Uncle Zhao’s house that he had some free time to walk around. Otherwise, he would have been worried about leaving a child at home alone.
Uncle Zhao wanted to return the money for medical treatment to Shen Fulang, in his opinion, since they had decided to raise the child, they should pay the money for the medicine.
Shen Fulang refused when he bought the medicine, he did not think of asking anyone for it back. Besides, Uncle Zhao’s family solved his big problem by adopting the child.
”An elder from the Li family has gone to Li Conngen’s home to warn them not to come to your house anymore,” Shen Fulang was not polite after learning what happened, he didn’t need to show mercy to that family.
He immediately found an elder to go to their house to chastise them. “What kind of people are they? After taking advantage of you, they still want you to help them? Are they thinking that others are blind?”
Shen Fulang later learned about what happened on the threshing ground, he was speechless about Li Conggen’s family. If they had known this would happen, why did they do it in the first place? It was already a knot that could not be untied. They thought that if they acted shameless, Feng Xiaozi would forget what they did. How thick-skinned could they be?
”I’m fine he’s just a kid, it’s not worth getting so angry about him.”
Tang Chunming advised. He really thought so, he retaliated immediately when he felt unhappy that day, which was very effective. Even if the Ge’er went out and spread the word, no one would believe him. What was there to complain about in helping his cousin’s future husband with some work?
”If you weren’t pregnant, who would worry about you?” Shen Fulang glared at Tang Chunming unhappily. Tang Chunming could only touch his nose.
“If it were before, I don’t believe that Young Ge’er would have gotten away with it.”
It might be possible if it were in the past, but the current Ming Ge’er is not the kind of person who would suffer losses. Of course, this kind of Ming Ge’er is better.
No matter what, Zhang Xiu and Shen Fulang were looking forward to Li Feng’s quick return. It would be bad if the family were without a man in charge, look, as soon as he left, someone wanted to take advantage of the situation. If Li Feng were here, that Ge’er wouldn’t dare to come to their house.
At last, when they saw a horse-drawn carriage approaching the village entrance, Shen Fulang and his friends breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Chunming couldn’t help but rush to the door, without this person, he felt that someone was missing by his side and things were not going well for him. Could he blame Li Feng for treating him too well? If that were the case, he would have to taunt himself first.
There was no one to help him take care of A-Lin, no one to get him some water and bring it to him, no one to put his favorite dishes in his bowl and watch him eat them, no one to keep reminding him in his ears to be safe at night… He felt uncomfortable in all kinds of ways.
Not to mention him, even A-Lin would ask several times a day when Uncle Feng would come back. He had already learned to count, he counted the days since Uncle Feng left on his fingers every day.
”Mom, should I call Uncle Feng Dad from now on?”
”Why, A-Lin doesn’t want to?” Tang Chunming looked at his son curiously. His son had a confused expression on his face, did he hear something from someone?
”Mom, Uncle Feng is better than Dad.” A-Lin was really conflicted. If Uncle Feng became his father, would he no longer love him, play with him, throw him high, or forbid him to raise the pony?
Tang Chunming couldn’t help laughing when he heard this, and at the same time, he secretly sighed, this was because Zhao Dahu left a bad impression as a father, so that was how A-Lin’s impression of a father.
On the contrary, Li Feng had a better impression, so A Lin was reluctant to let Uncle Feng become his father.
He couldn’t help but hug A-Lin and say, “Then you will continue to call him Uncle Feng, if one-day A-Lin wants to then you can change the way you call him”
”Okay.” A-Lin clapped his hands happily.
At this moment, A-Lin couldn’t wait to run out, followed by Da Mao and Er Mao. They also missed Uncle Feng, although Uncle Feng was very strict with them when he was around, they felt restless now that no one was monitoring them.
A man was riding on the horse, It was Li Feng who had been away for nearly eight or nine days. He was covered in dust, but his black eyes were shining, He immediately noticed the person standing at the courtyard door looking out.
An elderly man was sitting in the carriage stroking his beard, he leaned out of the carriage and looked at the village in front of him curiously. He then inquired about something with Li Feng who was riding on a horse. Li Feng rode his horse slowly beside the carriage, pointing his finger forward as he replied to him.
With a whoosh, the horse stopped in front of the courtyard gate. Li Feng first looked at Tang Chunming who was standing at the gate several times, and only felt relieved after making sure that Tang Chunming did not lose weight and his complexion did not look bad during the days of separation. Then he said greeted others and turned around to help the old man get off the carriage.
”This must be Doctor He, my surname is Shen, I’m the head of the village and also A-Feng’s uncle. A-Feng told us when he came back that he was fortunate to have Doctor He take care of him when he was outside, you are his great benefactor.” Shen Fulang was very grateful to the old man.
Doctor He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, but his face was ruddy and he didn’t look tired from traveling. His eyes were bright, and he stroked his beard and said to Shen Fulang with a smile, “Shen Fulang, you’re too polite. I initially only intended to lend a hand, but I didn’t expect that we would have such a fate. I will ask Shen Fulang to take care of me in the future.”
He turned around and said to Li Feng, “You kid, why don’t you bring your future husband here so I can see him? I don’t know what kind of person can win your heart.”
Li Feng smiled and walked towards Tang Chunming while Shen Fulang was talking to Doctor He, When Doctor He finished speaking, he had already put his hand on Tang Chunming’s arm. In this way, Li Feng didn’t need to say anything, as Dr He now knew who the “Ge’er” he was talking about, and a surprise flashed in his eyes.
Even though Li Feng had told him before, he still couldn’t figure out what kind of Ge’er could hold this kid’s heart until he met him, especially a ger who was in mourning and pregnant.
Now, seeing this Ge’er walking towards him with a calm and open mind, without a trace of awkwardness, and Li Feng also holding a little ge’er in his arms, there was no mistaking how gentle his expression was.
”Doctor He, I’m Tang Chunming, you’ve worked hard on the journey. Come in and take a rest first.”
”Okay, okay.” Doctor He smiled, he was a straightforward ger and the first impression was good.
Of course, he was not Feng Xiaozi’s real elder and would not interfere with his choice of a Ge’er. But he also hoped to see Feng Xiaozi live happily with his Ge’er.
The ger before him had clear eyes and a generous attitude, without the reticent impression of other countryside gers. As for observing mourning and being pregnant, it was really not a big deal for the elder who had experienced many ups and downs and seen countless storms.
Seeing Dr. He’s expression, Li Feng knew he was satisfied with Ming Ge’er, he curled his lips and said to A-Lin who was acting like a spoiled child to him, “Call him Grandpa He, Grandpa He will live in our house from now on.”
”Hello, Grandpa He,” A-Lin called sweetly while hugging Uncle Feng’s neck.
”This must be little A-Lin, right? Well, Grandpa is fine, here, this is the gift Grandpa He is giving A-Lin.” He took out a Jade pendant from somewhere and stuffed it into A-Lin’s hand.
A-Lin looked at his mother first, then at Uncle Feng, neither of them objected, so A-Lin thanked them happily.
Tang Chunming only glanced at it and saw that the jade pendant was transparent and looked like a good piece of jade, but he did not say anything to refuse, because Li Feng treated Dr He as an elder.
He bid goodbye to Shen Fulang and Zhang Xiu and took Dr He into the house. Shen Fulang and his friends did not follow him in, giving them space to reunite as a family.
Li Feng arranged for Old He to live directly in Tang Chunming’s house, he deliberated that Dr He was too old to attract other people’s gossip. In addition, he was a doctor who could take care of Ming’er nearby, which made him feel at ease.
Doctor He was not dissatisfied with this arrangement, Ming’er’s farmyard was much more comfortable than Li Feng’s shabby yard. He felt that even the air was good and the water was sweet.
That’s why he didn’t consider following Feng Xiaozi to suffer back in his yard. Moreover, he had a grandson to take care of him, he liked the environment here as soon as he arrived.
The house originally had three large rooms, except for the main hall in the middle, Tang Chunming’s room was used as a study, and the remaining third room was given to Dr He.
Li Feng then immediately went to the county to bring back the furniture, because he wasn’t sure that he could convince Dr He to come over.
However, seeing that the house would become too small after the marriage, Li Feng had already considered building another house. It didn’t cross his mind that there was anything wrong with living in Mingge’er’s house after the marriage. All his possessions were handed over to Mingge’er, so he would live wherever Mingge’er went.
Of course, he had discussed it with Tang Chunming, he planned to build a house in the backyard after Tang Chunming gave birth to a child, and then he and Tang Chunming would live in the new house in the back.
Tang Chunming also thought this was a good idea after living with Li Feng, it would be impossible for him to sleep in the same bed as A-Lin. Even if he agreed, Li Feng would not agree. He was also a little restless, and it would be normal to do something at that time.
Doctor He quickly integrated into the family, perhaps because he had experienced a lot, it was easier for him to adjust himself and know how to enjoy life to the fullest. Besides, such a simple life was what he had always wanted. He asked Li Feng to buy a recliner and put it under the grape arbor, he chatted with Tang Chunming while rocking in the recliner.
”Feng Xiaozi must have told you my good deeds, actually, although I felt sorry for this kid and saved him, I also relied on him to survive in the North. The situation in the north was not good at first, people could die at any time.”
“Even doctors like us had to escape. If we were not careful, the babarians would catch up to us. If we were slow, no one would care about our life or death, not to mention my age, so don’t believe everything he said.”
”No, he didn’t tell me much, he only said that if it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have been able to reach the north and would have died on the way. And if you hadn’t taught him the skills to save his life, he wouldn’t have been able to save you on the battlefield even if he wanted to. So it’s all because of you, now that his life is finally accomplished, of course, it’s right to think of you.”
Tang Chunming said what he thought in his heart, even if this was the case, there is a cause for every effect. Without Dr. He’s kindness, what happened later on wouldn’t have been possible, it’s all because he had helped.
Especially when comparing this stranger with whom he has no blood relationship, is there any need to tell which people Li Feng should side with?
”Haha…” Old He laughed heartily, “You have such a good temper, no wonder this kid has tried his best to persuade me to come here. Don’t worry, you will definitely give birth smoothly this time.” It’s because Feng Xiaozi was going to start a family, and that’s why he was willing to come along at first.
Tang Chunming looked at his big belly with an embarrassed face, he didn’t want to know this at all. He couldn’t help but say, “I heard it’s very painful, is there any way to relieve the pain? Or just cut the belly and take the baby out?”
”Hahaha …” Dr He laughed even more heartily, After talking for a long time, it turned out that this ger was afraid of giving birth. “Don’t worry, the baby is in the right position, and you have taken good care of yourself. It won’t take long for you to give birth, with me here, what do you have to worry about? If I were to cut your stomach, I guess that kid would break my old bones first.”
Tang Chunming was uneasy.
There was a a big technological gap, and there was no way to communicate, Having children was fine, but even cesarean sections only existed in his imagination.
After Tang Chunming’s last bit of fantasy was extinguished, his stomach finally started to ache in the hottest weather.
”Damn it, it hurts so much, what on earth is coming out of this little devil? I will never forgive him when it comes out, Ahhh!” His room was directly used as a delivery room. The people who were waiting anxiously outside the room could hear Tang Chunming yelling and cursing inside.
Shen Fulang, Zhang Xiu, and Wang Mo, who came to help were all sweating. They were also there when Mingge’er gave birth to the child last time, and they had never heard Mingge’er scream like this. This time, he called the child a little bastard before he was even born, they didn’t know whether they should speak up for the child.
Many people gathered in the main room waiting, Li Feng panicked when Tang Chunming suddenly complained of stomachache while having breakfast. If Dr He, who was also having breakfast, hadn’t reminded him that Ming’er might be having labor pains, he would still be worried that something went wrong that caused the stomachache.
After Dr He’s reminder, he quickly rode his horse to pick up the physician, the physician also experienced riding a flying horse, and almost couldn’t stand after getting off the horse.
Before this, with Dr. He here, all the preparations for the birth had been made, and they were just waiting for the delivery day.
Old He had nothing to worry about, he had checked Ming Ge’er’s pulse when he first arrived it was true that Ming Ge’er had been in poor health before, but he had taken good care of himself during pregnancy, so much so that it was beyond his expectations.
But he did not think of probing for the reasons, he only rechecked Ming Ge’er’s pulse after a few days and knew that Ming Ge’er’s physical condition was good enough to survive this delivery, he realized that Ming Ge’er was very energetic.
Looking at Li Feng who was anxious, he never saw him panic or be afraid when he was on the battlefield. Even when the last blow of the knife almost chopped off his head, he didn’t change his expression. But now he just froze there. Others might not be able to see anything, but he knew clearly that this kid was really anxious and didn’t know what to do.
After the shouting and cursing, there was no sound in the house, Li Feng felt that every minute of waiting was like a year. Before, he thought that the baby coming out earlier would mean Ming Ge’er could finish mourning earlier, and their wedding would be closer.
But now he was scared, growing up in the village, he knew that a ge’er giving birth was like going through the gates of hell. There was a Ge’er in the same village who died during childbirth, when he thought of Ming Ge’er suffering in there, his eyes went dark.
”You kid, go and make me a pot of tea, don’t let anyone else do it for you. Just do it yourself, I want to drink the tea you make.”
Old He instructed Li Feng, and he didn’t want anyone else to do it. He wanted Li Feng to do it. As for why he only wanted tea, he had brought a lot when he came here, how could a tea lover do without that sip of tea?
”Ah…” Li Feng, whose mind was in the house, turned his head blankly and looked at Dr He who was sitting there, he didn’t hear clearly what he said.
He Lao was so disappointed that he picked up something and threw it at him: “Go, get a pot of tea. I’ll have a drink with the head of the village.”
”Oh, oh, I’ll go right away.” Li Feng, who didn’t realize that he had neglected the guest, replied dryly and then walked to the other side of the main hall. He walked with his hands and feet trembling and was very stiff, the village head didn’t know whether to laugh or go up to comfort him.
”Let him go, the person who can calm him down is still in there, he will be normal after the baby is born. Now we should find him something to do to pass the time. I should ask those soldiers who used to work under him to come and see what he looks like.” Old He shook his head and sighed.
”Why isn’t Ming’ge’er screaming anymore? Hopefully, nothing has happened to him?” The village head was also worried, he was screaming so loudly before but now there was no sound, he was also getting nervous.
”Ming’ge’er looks easy to talk to, but he is also stubborn and strong-willed. I’m afraid he won’t be able to scream out now if I were to guess, he must be eager to give birth as soon as possible to end the pain.”
Old He said with a smile, after getting along with him for a while, with his experienced eyes, he could certainly see Ming’ge’ers personality. He can’t relate him to the previous Ming’er he heard from others. If he were to say, they are like two different people. Even if he became strong because of misfortune, he can’t change this much.
But this kind of temperament is still good, which is more suitable for Feng Xiaozi. If he changes to his previous temperament, he will be afraid of dragging Feng Xiaozi down, but Li Feng himself probably doesn’t like it. He heard Yu Mu mention that when they first met, he saw him beat a half-grown child with a stick. Li Feng might like this kind of temperament that protects his shortcomings but is not unreasonable and daring.
Before Li Feng finished brewing tea, Doctor Hu came over after hearing the news. He had become a frequent visitor since Old He came. Doctor Hu was a good doctor, not necessarily worse than the doctors in the town.
After learning that Old He was a doctor, he couldn’t wait to come over and discuss with him. However, after the discussion, Doctor Hu immediately bowed down to Doctor He’s medical skills and wished he could continue staying in Tang Chunming’s house so that he could come here daily.
If he hadn’t asked, he would never have known that He Lao was an imperial physician in the palace. However, he had offended a noble in the palace during the previous emperor’s reign and was sent to the border to serve as a military doctor.
The truth of his injustice was revealed when the current emperor came to power, the new emperor wanted to restore his position as an imperial physician, but he was unwilling to continue. It was easier to stay in the army and treat soldiers than return to the palace to serve those nobles.
The new emperor had received He Lao’s kindness during the previous emperor’s reign. Although he felt a little sorry, he was unwilling to force him, so he gave him privileges and let him come and go as he pleases.
