Chapter 63 Fame

A Hu’s place was indeed a primitive world. In recent times, he had been sending her herbs almost every other day. Each one was pure, natural, unpolluted, and of superior quality. She had specifically instructed A Hu to dig up the whole ginseng for her. As a result, A Hu not only dug up the ginseng with the plant, but also other herbs, except for those that were too tall and couldn’t be dug up, the rest were all dug up with roots and leaves. Qian Xiaolan was very happy and planted them all in her space. To thank A Hu, she asked Wenxuan to download many agricultural planting technology videos, and various vegetable and grain seeds for A Hu. A Hu was desperate to learn so that the people in his tribe could eat their fill.

A Hu studied tirelessly, Qian Xiaolan prepared the goods for the trade and put them on the shelves, ignoring him and doing her own thing. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Qian Xiaolan had treated many patients, and her medical skills had spread throughout Xia Island. The military dependents on the other side of the family compound also came to see her. The more patients Qian Xiaolan treated, the better her medical skills became. Some military dependents’ conditions had not been cured even after going to the county hospital and city hospital, but when they came to Qian Xiaolan, they were completely cured after just a few acupuncture sessions and a few prescriptions. The military dependents were excited and went to the county together to make a banner, and they came to her with great fanfare. Along the way, they displayed the banner so that everyone could see it, and when people were curious, they would talk about Qian Xiaolan’s medical skills. They said that Qian Xiaolan was like Hua Tuo reborn, with superb medical skills.

Qian Xiaolan’s excellent medical skills spread to Bailong Commune and throughout Bailong Island. From then on, Qian Xiaolan became busy, even when she had to go up the mountain to collect herbs, she had to tell her patients two days in advance. She didn’t have to worry about firewood, the aunties in the brigade would bring her some when they went up the mountain to chop wood. Of course, she didn’t take advantage of them, and she would always grab a handful of candy for them.

This day, the postman came to the island again to deliver letters and packages. After delivering things to the family compound and the brigade headquarters, he came directly to the health center with a large package. Seeing the long line of people waiting at the door, he grinned and shouted inside, “Doctor Qian, there’s a letter and package for you.”

Qian Xiaolan inserted the last needle into the patient’s acupoint, whispered a few words to her, and then walked out of the clinic with a smile, “Thank you, Comrade Jiang, for delivering the package to me personally again.”

Jiang, the postman, smiled and waved his hand, “No need to thank me, no need to thank me! We are all serving the people!”

“Yes, we are all serving the people! But Comrade Jiang runs around all day, you work harder, come in and have a cup of tea.”

Comrade Jiang chuckled and didn’t decline, after Qian Xiaolan signed the receipt, he went into the health center with her. He was waiting every day for Qian Xiaolan’s package to arrive, and then he would come over to drink medicinal tea. It has to be said, Qian Xiaolan’s medical skills were really superb, every time he drank a bowl of medicinal tea from here, he could sleep soundly for two days.

When some familiar aunties saw him come in, they joked with a smile, “Postman Jiang, you’re here to mooch tea again. Drink more this time, otherwise, you’ll have to wait another week for Doctor Qian’s next package.”

The aunties finished speaking and laughed, and the others laughed along with them. As they laughed, they were all filled with envy. Doctor Qian received four or five packages from her family every month. What kind of family was this?

Jiang, the postman, didn’t feel embarrassed at all when everyone laughed at him, he enjoyed finishing a bowl of tea and said to everyone with a smile, “You guys, I really look forward to delivering packages to Doctor Qian every day, so I can come in and drink medicinal tea openly.”

“It’s a pity that Doctor Qian doesn’t want to sell medicinal tea, otherwise, I would definitely buy a lot to drink every day.”

Qian Xiaolan smiled when she heard this, “I don’t want to sell medicinal tea, I’m afraid of people like you who think that way. Medicine is three parts poison, how can you drink it every day? It’s enough for you to come to the island to deliver packages and letters and drink a bowl each time.”

Jiang, the postman, mumbled, “You don’t always have letters, it’s so embarrassing for me to come empty-handed.”

Qian Xiaolan was helpless, “My family is just an ordinary family, how can they send me packages every day? Let me take your pulse, you’re running around in the wind and rain, you must have a lot of minor ailments. I’ll give you a few needles and some medicine, and you won’t have to think about my medicinal tea every day.”

This time, Jiang, the postman, didn’t refuse as quickly as he had before, he thought for a while and nodded, “Then I’ll trouble you, Doctor Qian.”

The weather had gradually warmed up recently, but he still felt cold in his legs, and they often ached so badly that he couldn’t sleep at night, and he was scolded by his wife every night. In order to sleep well at night and not be scolded, it was nothing to let someone see his body. At worst, he would just close his eyes.

Qian Xiaolan saw that Jiang, the postman, closed his eyes after finishing his words, and couldn’t help but laugh. The other aunties laughed so hard they couldn’t catch their breath.

“Oh my, Comrade Jiang, you’re almost thirty years old, why are you still so shy?”

“Haha, don’t worry, so many aunties are here, Doctor Qian won’t take advantage of you. Ah,呸呸, no, Doctor Qian is a real doctor, she’s so beautiful, and her husband is handsome too, she won’t like you.”

… Jiang, the postman: Aunties, I’m telling you, I’m not actually afraid of Doctor Qian, I’m afraid of you guys who are shameless, do you believe me?

Qian Xiaolan took Jiang, the postman’s pulse, seeing his look of resignation, she couldn’t help but “pfft” and laugh, comforting him, “Don’t worry, I’ll only give you needles on your hands and below your knees, the aunties won’t see anything.”

Jiang, the postman’s face turned even redder. Of course, he had been running around outside as an adult, his skin was dark, and everyone couldn’t see it.

Qian Xiaolan finished giving Jiang, the postman, needles, looked at her watch, turned around and was busy pulling out the needles for the aunties who had been given needles earlier. One auntie finished, and then the next, she pulled out needles for six people in a row, before she sat back down at the clinic table to see the next auntie. After she finished taking her pulse, writing the prescription, and giving her needles, she had to be busy pulling out needles for others.

Everyone saw that Qian Xiaolan was busy spinning like a top, but she still maintained a smile on her face, and they started to envy Gu Yanqing’s good fortune, marrying such an excellent person home.

After seeing all the patients, Qian Xiaolan collapsed on the chair. Business was too good, she was a little overwhelmed.

She rested for a while, put today’s consultation fees (eggs, duck eggs, dried fish, dried vegetables, dried seaweed, etc.) in her backpack, and went back home. The house was still empty. The person who said he would be back in half a month at the earliest hadn’t come back yet. It seemed that the mission was quite tricky, she wondered how he was doing over there? Recently, she had been hoping every day that he was okay, and also hoping that he would exchange some things in the trading mall.

Perhaps because she was thinking about him during the day, she dreamed about him at night. Qian Xiaolan slept for less than two hours in the space before she was awakened by a nightmare.
