Chapter 11 Entering the City
As dusk fell, Qin Xian squatted by the well and killed fish.

Li Yingtang accompanied him by eating melon seeds, and occasionally put a peeled one to his mouth.

"Hey! Eat it yourself." Can't you see he is busy?

Li Yingtang scratched his head and took out the small mirror he carried with him to look left and right, and asked him as if to verify: "Am I ugly? Am I ugly?"

Qin Xian: “……………………………………”

"You are ugly. There are no handsome people in the village. What's the matter?"

Li Yingtang put away the mirror and smiled politely: "Hello, Aunt Liu, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Aunt Liu weighed the basket in her hand and said, "I'm bringing you some shepherd's purse. You caught all of this. I never knew a little girl like you could be so capable."

Li Yingtang's favorability towards Aunt Liu has now dropped to zero, and her behavior is even more speculative.

She was delivering the food for no reason, maybe she wanted to exchange it for her fish!
No way! "Thank you for your trouble, but I don't like shepherd's purse."

"You don't even like to eat shepherd's purse. You city girls are really picky."

"Put it down." Qin Xian looked at Li Yingtang. If he always called her by her full name in front of outsiders, would they think that he didn't care about her and thus didn't take her seriously? He paused for a moment and said, "Tangtang is not picky. She caught a lot of fish. You take this one."

Li Yingtang's pupils dilated.

Call her Tangtang?

It sounds so nice.

"I'm so sorry." Aunt Liu was delighted and said polite words, but her hands were not idle. She poured out the shepherd's purse, picked up the fish Qin Xian had specified and put it into the bamboo basket: "It's getting late, I'll leave first."

Li Yingtang watched Aunt Liu walk away and complained quietly, "It's so hard to catch wild perch. I was lucky enough to catch one, and I want to steam it. These wild vegetables are worthless. I lost a lot in exchange for a perch. You like shepherd's purse, I'll get you a cart of it tomorrow. You can eat it cold, stir-fry, or make dumplings. You can eat it as much as you want. Why do you want hers?"

Qin Xian couldn't help laughing: "Can I take her home?"

Li Yingtang didn't understand, but he respected her and stopped nagging about it: "Okay."

.........

For the fish stew for dinner, a circle of thin pancakes was made with batter on the edge of the pot. Sweet potatoes were roasting at the bottom of the pot. After eating the fish, Li Yingtang dug out the sweet potatoes, peeled them, and blew them cool before eating.

So sweet.

If I can't go home, it seems like it's not bad to maintain my current life.

No need to worry about the rise and fall of the family, no need to engage in intrigue.

Simple and easy.

bang bang bang!
There was a banging on the door.

"Doctor Qin, Doctor Qin, help me."

Qin Xian took two steps at a time and opened the kitchen door: "What's going on?"

The woman ran out of the infirmary and said, "My son's head was broken by his wife, and blood is flowing out. Look, it's such a big wound. That vicious woman was so cruel. Marrying her is really unlucky for my family."

Qin Xian stepped forward to check the wound and asked the man a few questions.

The man answered fluently and with clear ideas.

Qin Xian said: "It's not a big problem. Just sew up the wound and go home to rest for a few days and you will be fine."

While thanking her, the woman cursed her daughter-in-law in the most shameless and vulgar language.

Li Yingtang couldn't listen any more. His daughter-in-law was too kind. She should beat the evil mother-in-law as well. "Ah Xian, I'm going to sleep first. I want to go to the city tomorrow. You can wake me up early."

Although a comfortable life is comfortable and free, it can also make people lose their fighting spirit.

She eats and lives in someone else's house, and even if they don't say anything, she can't pretend not to know.

What's more, she wanted to date him and taste the sweetness of love, but how could it be sweet without money?

She has to earn a lot of money to dress herself up.

How could he look upon you with favor when you are always covered in dirt?

Qin Xian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Go home?"

Li Yingtang hummed vaguely.

It was dark the next day.

Li Yingtang was called by Qin Xian.

She got dressed and went out, feeling extremely cold. She found a half-new bicycle parked in the yard and asked, "Where did you get this bicycle? Is it for me to ride?" "I'll give it to you for a ride."

Li Yingtang smiled and said, "I want to sit in the front, so you can hug me while you ride the bike."

Qin Xian was startled, his eyes tinged with embarrassment: "Talking nonsense again!" He turned and went into the kitchen.

Li Yingtang sniffed at his back. Who was talking nonsense?
If she doesn't want to hear it, she won't say it.

As for being angry?
Miser, drink cold water!
After packing up, Li Yingtang got on the back seat of Qin Xian's bicycle.

She hugged his waist from behind and chatted with him casually. "Were you a top student when you were in school?"

"A bully? I never bully my classmates."

puff!
Li Yingtang laughed so hard that he almost choked: "To me, a top student means someone who is very good at studying."

"Not the best, just average."

Li Yingtang thought he was being modest. She had a friend from a medical family who ranked first in every subject when he was studying and was a first-year graduate student at the age of 23. However, he had already been working for two years at the age of 23 and was not only good at acupuncture but also at bone setting.

Suturing someone's wound is also easy.

His talent and understanding are much higher than her friend's.

His direct elder should also be a very capable doctor, right?
A relative gave him guidance.
wrong.

If he had an elder with superb medical skills, how could he have ended up being a village doctor?
It is urgent to understand his family situation.

Thinking of this, he said, "Do you want to say hello to your father? I'll pass on the message for you. How do you get to your house? I'm a bit directionally challenged."

With her social skills, it is not impossible for her to gain his father's approval by being his girlfriend.

Qin Xian turned around and looked at her: "Directionally challenged?" Is there such a disease?
Li Yingtang: ".Yeah, it's not good if I can't remember the way."

"No need to greet."

Li Yingtang was disappointed: "Oh."

At dawn, Qin Xian's car stopped at the bus stop in the village. He took off his coat and handed it to her, saying in an intriguing tone: "Wear it when you sleep. Be smart this time, don't let anyone steal your shoes and socks."

Li Yingtang smiled foolishly: "I know."

When the minibus comes.

Li Yingtang hugged him quickly, turned around and got on the bus, looking at him from a distance through the glass window. The conductor patted her shoulder and asked, "Where are you going?"

"city center."

"Sixty cents." The ticket seller spread his hands to collect the money. Seeing that Li Yingtang's face was turned away, he pulled her shoulder and said, "Sixty cents, you give it to me."

Li Yingtang slapped the other person's hand away: "I'm here, how can you run away? Don't delay me from seeing the beauty."

The conductor: “.” Hi! This is the first time I’ve met someone who dares to confront her on the bus.

She grabbed Li Yingtang's scarf and was about to pull it.

Li Yingtang turned around, snatched the scarf back from the conductor, took out the money and slapped it hard into the conductor's palm: "Isn't this given to me?!"

The ticket seller was stunned by her aura. After he came to his senses, he counted some money and sat behind the door.

Li Yingtang glared at the other person fiercely and closed his eyes to catch up on his sleep.

When I woke up, even the aisle of the car was packed with people.

She asked the woman sitting next to her, "Auntie, where are we?"

"In the city."

Li Yingtang looked around. Compared with the sparsely populated countryside, the city was very lively.

There are very few tall buildings.

Most of them are three or four-story houses with storefronts.

The streets are crowded with people, almost all dressed in the same uniform: navy blue cotton jackets, matching trousers, handmade black cotton shoes, and the Lei Feng hats that only appear in elementary school textbooks and TV dramas.

No one plays with their cell phones while walking. Everyone holds their heads high and looks full of energy and spirit.

It's exciting at first glance.

If we open a factory here, the efficiency will definitely be very high.
