Chapter 62: Generous Expression
The next day, Li Yingtang was originally planning to go into the city, but she had just had her period and it was too uncomfortable for her to ride a bike, so she had to stay at home.

Qin Xian was unable to accompany her due to work, and she had nothing to talk about with her neighbors. She was too bored to sit still, so she put on her waders, took a small hoe and wandered into the mountains, trying to dig up two yams to eat.

The weather has been warming up recently, and the snow at the foot of the mountain has melted, revealing a narrow path.

She walked along the path and after walking for a while she heard deliberately suppressed voices.

Who is it?

What are you doing secretly?
Li Yingtang tiptoed closer. It was Cheng Fang's mother Hu Ping and Old Man Cheng's brother, Cheng Xiaode.

After a while of pulling and tugging, the man suddenly untied his belt and pushed the woman against the stone.

"What are you doing, you bastard?"

"Fuck you."

Li Yingtang didn't want to watch, let alone listen. The two were too old, and it was irritating to the ears and eyes!

Fearing that they would discover her, she walked further into the mountain until she could no longer hear any sound.

When turning, he tripped and fell because the road was uneven. He did not hold the small hoe in his hand tightly and it flew two meters away.

It fell to the ground with a slight muffled sound.

She was wearing a cotton coat, cotton pants and thick cotton shoes today, so it didn't hurt after falling. She quickly got up and cleaned the leaves and grass debris on her body, then picked up the small hoe. She unexpectedly saw two tiny whiskers on the place where the hoe hit her.

Ginseng?

Very similar.

Li Yingtang dug carefully, and became more and more excited the more he dug.

Yo yo yo!
Why didn’t I know I was so lucky before?

If you can pick up ginseng, you might win the first prize if you buy a lottery ticket.

She dug out a whole ginseng root, the size of a palm.

There are a lot of whiskers.

It’s wild and this big, so it should be considered top quality, right?
Just right for stewing soup.

Li Yingtang was about to go to Wu Hong's house to buy an old hen, but then she changed her mind because she thought Wu Hong would not take her money.

We are all ordinary poor people. We would like to make every penny count. There is no need to take advantage of others.

Let’s buy some pig’s trotters. The second place in the village is where the pigs are slaughtered.

Li Yingtang went down the mountain, went home to store the ginseng, and then went to Cheng Er's house to buy a big pig's trotter for three yuan.

"It's from Doctor Qin's family. Here you go." Cheng Er tied it up with straw and handed it to her.

Li Yingtang turned around and met Cheng Fang, who was accompanied by a man in his thirties, of medium build, who looked very much like Cheng Fang.

Because there was a conflict between the two parties, no one paid any attention to each other.

Li Yingtang walked on, and when he passed Wu Hong's house, she called him, "Doctor Qin's, your shoes are ready."

"So fast."

Wu Hong said, "I got it done overnight. I'm impatient and I can't sleep if I don't do something. I bought pig's trotters. Do you have soybeans? I have some."

"Yes." Li Yingtang took the shoes. Although they were made overnight, the stitches were dense and compact, and the workmanship was meticulous. "Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."

"You're welcome."

"It's as it should be." Li Yingtang suddenly gossiped in a low voice: "I just saw Cheng Fang, and there was an older man beside her. Who was that man? Didn't Cheng Fang fall into the toilet and is recuperating now?"

"It's already been a while. The man you mentioned is the one Cheng Fang just got engaged to. He's from Qingshi Village. His wife died three months ago. He has a son who is said to be a director of the village. Hu Ping has been so cocky these days. You haven't seen her like that. She's so cocky." Li Yingtang thought to herself, I saw her having fun with a man in the mountains. "They look alike. I thought she was her eldest cousin or younger uncle."

"That big cousin and uncle is her man. It's good to look like him, to prevent him from cheating on her."

"What do you mean?" Li Yingtang didn't understand.

Wu Hong covered her mouth and said, "It's nothing." If Doctor Qin knew that she told this to the young wife, he would be dissatisfied. She changed the subject: "It's not easy to be a stepmother. I don't know what Hu Ping is thinking, pushing her daughter into the fire pit. It's better to marry the third son. Although the third son is a little lazy, he has no bad habits. He doesn't smoke or drink."

Because Wu Hong and Cheng San are relatives.

Li Yingtang was embarrassed to say that marrying Cheng San was worse than being a stepmother.

Cheng San’s mother is so awesome.

However, most of the mothers-in-law in the village are very powerful. When the daughter-in-law is not at home, they will take care of everything at home. After the daughter-in-law comes home, the people who have always been healthy and efficient suddenly feel pain here and there, can't cook, and can't work. The family has to pay off the foreign debts owed for many years, and they don't allow the daughter-in-law to eat an extra piece of meat or buy an extra piece of clothing.

The most pitiful one was Cheng Xiaoxiu, who was killed by her in-laws.

Fortunately, the laws are strict these days and the process is fast.

The old man who killed people is already eating peanuts.

The execution was carried out at the village's vegetable market, and many people from the village went to watch. She was about to go over, but Qin Xian did not allow her.

The two chatted for a while and then separated. Li Yingtang took the pig's trotter home.

There are only a few patients in the health station today, and they are all staying in the ward.

Qin Xian's office was empty and very quiet. She put away the pig's trotters, opened the door and said, "I bought some pig's trotters and dug a wild ginseng today to nourish your body."

Qin Xian shifted his attention away from the paper: "Wild ginseng? Really?"

"You're lying, little dog." Li Yingtang looked at the thick stack of papers Qin Xian had written. "So much again? It's so well written. How come you wrote it so quickly and so well?"

No one doesn't like to hear compliments. Qin Xian smiled and said, "I hope I can pass the manuscript in one go."

Li Yingtang thought: "Is there a professor named Tong Yushu in your school? He looks to be in his seventies."

"You know him?" Qin Xian was quite surprised. "There is such a person, quite famous, who developed a special medicine for treating tinea. But he had retired when I was in college. It is said that the school rehired him to teach for a period of time, but due to poor health, he had to retire again. During the years of school, I only heard of him but never saw him. How do you know him?"

Li Yingtang vaguely felt that this person might become Qin Xian's benefactor. "Your schoolmate recommended him to me. I asked him about international submission channels. He was very happy to hear that and said he could help me review the paper. When you finish writing this paper, send it to him for review."

Qin Xian was also emotional: "Tangtang, why do you treat me so attentively?"

"Because I like you and I love you."

Qin Xian: “.” He couldn’t help but blush. Why could she always express herself so directly and generously?
"I'll follow you when you go, after all, I was the one who met him at the beginning." Li Yingtang prepared to make some easy-to-chew snacks by himself.

Her grandfather is also of the same age and loves to eat snacks without any restrictions.

He said, he is so old, how many meals can he still eat?
He gets angry with anyone who talks about him.

"Let me tell you a gossip. Cheng Fang is engaged. The man looks a lot like her. Wu Hong said to prevent cheating. What is cheating?" Li Yingtang was curious about the baby. She wanted to ask Wu Hong, but she was afraid that people would laugh at her for being ignorant.

Qin Xian: "." The women in the village didn't teach her the good things, but only talked about the messy things. "That's it." He hesitated for a moment: "The couple looks alike, so they went to the hospital to give birth to prevent the wrong baby from being taken away."

"Really?" Li Yingtang was a little skeptical: "We don't look alike. Will I be cheated on when I go to the hospital to give birth?"

Qin Xian almost choked on his saliva.

"Doctor Qin, I'll run out of water soon."

When Qin Xian stood up, he reminded her: "What's gray? Don't go out and talk nonsense, or people will laugh at you."

Li Yingtang curled her lips, what's so funny about giving birth to a child?
