An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 18 Medical Clinic
Two trucks drove one after another to the entrance of Jinsui Village, where they could see a group of people waiting under the big locust tree at the village entrance.

The soldiers disembarked in an orderly fashion, each one well-trained and in perfect formation.

Huo Qingshan stood tall and straight at the front of the group, his eyes sharp and his posture upright, scrutinizing his team.

"Salute!" he commanded, his firm and powerful voice echoing at the village entrance like the dawn bell, extremely penetrating.

In an instant, the soldiers raised their hands in unison to salute. The arc of their arms and the strength of their hands, precise and powerful, all demonstrated the discipline of soldiers.

The sunlight shone precisely on each of them, as if they were draped in a golden armor.

The atmosphere at the scene was solemn and dignified, with an overwhelming momentum that moved everyone present.

Meng Youyou stood alone outside the line, dressed in casual clothes. She didn't react in time when everyone else was saluting, which made her seem particularly out of place.

Meng Youyou was a little stunned, her face instantly flushed red, and she lowered her head, biting her lip helplessly, trying to hide her embarrassment.

The assistance team was warmly welcomed by the villagers of Jinsui Village, which is mainly inhabited by the Que ethnic group, with a small number of Han and other ethnic groups living together harmoniously.

The Sparrow culture dominates here, and many customs and habits reflect the characteristics of the Sparrow people.

Just like right now, the hospitable Sparrow villagers are using their most traditional welcoming ceremony.

At the entrance of the village stands a rustic wooden table, upon which are rows of bamboo tubes filled with wine, the aroma of which permeates the air.

With a kind smile, the village chief welcomed the soldiers who had come to help the people. He then invited the soldiers to drink the wine together, explaining that it was a unique wine of their Sparrow tribe, brewed from grains and fruits through a complex process, and was the highest form of hospitality reserved for distinguished guests.

With a smile, Huo Qingshan stepped forward and respectfully explained to the village chief, "Village chief, thank you for your warm hospitality, but we are soldiers. There are strict disciplinary requirements in the army, and we are not allowed to drink alcohol while on duty."

He then emphasized, "Nevertheless, we still deeply respect the culture and customs of the Sparrow people."

After speaking, Huo Qingshan bent down slightly, picked up a piece of bamboo tube, and gently touched it to his lips. He then gestured for the soldiers to do the same, and the soldiers followed suit.

Seeing this, the villagers all smiled understandingly, and the welcoming ceremony continued, creating an even more harmonious atmosphere.

……

Throughout the day, everyone was busy. Some were helping villagers harvest wheat in the autumn, some were repairing old houses for elderly people living alone, and some were repairing the village's dikes and rural roads... No one had a moment to rest.

The makeshift medical clinic at the village entrance was also extremely busy. Even though it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, villagers continued to come after hearing the call, especially a long queue formed in front of the table where Chu Yao was sitting.

Finding a moment to catch his breath, Huo Qingshan grabbed the water bottle at his feet and gulped down the water into his parched throat.

Water poured from the spout, a little flowing down the man's strong jaw, over his rising and falling Adam's apple, down to the back of his neck, and finally wetting his collar.

Huo Qingshan casually wiped his mouth, and inadvertently glanced at Meng Youyou in the corner. Just moments before, he had been earnestly explaining to the elderly about preventative measures for high blood pressure and diabetes, dietary precautions, reminding pregnant women of the precautions and nutritional needs at different stages of pregnancy, and instructing children to wash their hands frequently and brush their teeth morning and night...

In the blink of an eye, she's now enthusiastically giving "mini-lessons on puberty physiology and hygiene" to a bunch of teenage girls.

Some of the younger girls stared at her with curious and confused eyes, completely absorbed. However, the older girls all blushed, their eyes darting around, not daring to look directly at Meng Youyou. Huo Qingshan could tell that although they were a little embarrassed, none of them intended to leave.

Huo Qingshan's lips curled into a very faint smile.

As evening approached, the crowd gradually dispersed. Chu Yao rubbed her aching shoulders and neck, and then saw a round bamboo kettle wrapped with colorful silk threads in front of her.

Chu Yao's gaze slowly moved upwards along the kettle, and she saw Meng Youyou with a smile on her lips: "You've worked hard today. I see that you've already finished the water in your kettle. I still have some left here. Would you like some?"

Chu Yao was somewhat surprised and taken aback. Perhaps it was the girl's bright smile and the obvious concern and kindness in her eyes that infected her. Before she could even react, she had already subconsciously reached out and taken the water bottle from her.

Huo Qingshan stood not far away, watching this scene, his thoughts becoming increasingly blocked and chaotic...

Looking away, Huo Qingshan keenly noticed a little boy about ten meters away, hiding behind a banyan tree with only half his head peeking out.

The little boy met Huo Qingshan's sharp and terrifying gaze and immediately shrank back behind the tree trunk in fright.

Huo Qingshan frowned, his doubts deepening, and he cautiously took a step towards the banyan tree.

Huo Qingshan walked to the banyan tree, looked at the corner of a garment peeking out from behind the trunk, and asked in a serious tone, "What are you doing here?"

When the little boy heard the voice of the imposing uncle who had just spoken questioning him, his small body began to tremble, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Huo Qingshan took another step closer to the person, his gaze scrutinizing and imposing.

Upon seeing this, the little boy's body began to tremble even more violently.

Meng Youyou, who was organizing medical supplies, noticed the commotion out of the corner of her eye, put down what she was holding, and ran over.

As she approached, she saw a little boy looking frightened and nervous, trembling like a leaf in front of Huo Qingshan.

She took a few steps forward, glared at Huo Qingshan disapprovingly, and then gently pushed the man's strong arm back with her elbow, using her body to block Huo Qingshan's overly direct gaze.

Meng Youyou squatted down in front of the little boy and said softly, "Little friend, your sister is here. Don't be afraid. What are you doing here? Is there something you need to talk to us about? You can tell your sister."

The little boy cautiously raised his head and saw Meng Youyou's gentle smile and kind eyes. The fear on his face gradually lessened.

Meng Youyou continued to coax her gently, "Do you want to tell me now? After you tell me, I can help you think of a solution."

The little boy hesitated for a few seconds, glancing at Huo Qingshan every now and then, before stammering in a low voice, "Grandma...Grandma...she...hasn't come back yet today, I'm...worried about her."
