The longed-for village system

Chapter 172 Recovery
Ha Wen, Zhu Xun, and Li Yong also greeted Chen Qing warmly. Zhu Xun's husband had temporarily left this morning due to work, and he was relieved to see his wife's current condition.

After the group finished greeting Chen Qing, Teacher He introduced Peng Peng and his sister to them, saying, "Peng Peng, sister, please greet the teachers."

"Hello, teachers. I am Peng Peng (Zhang Zifeng)."

"Hello, I know you are all very talented actors. Keep up the good work in the future and learn more from Teacher He, Teacher Huang and Xiao Chen. I believe you will go even further."

Dong Qing, as their representative, greeted the two warmly and offered them some encouragement.

“Yes! We will continue to work hard.” Peng Peng nodded in response.

As for using Chen Qing as a role model, they didn't see any problem with it. In their minds, Chen Qing had an extraordinary life, knowing more than Teacher He and Teacher Huang. So the two siblings also studied hard, taking Chen Qing as their role model.

Li Yong nodded to the two of them, then stood up and greeted Chen Qing, "Thank you for your trouble, Teacher Chen Qing."

Teacher He and Teacher Huang were extremely surprised when Li Yong got up and walked out. They had only ever seen Li Yong speak before, but they had never seen him get up and walk. However, this was not surprising to Chen Qing at all.

The system said that Li Yong would be able to get up and walk in at most half a month, so it would be half a month. Moreover, Chen Qing had seen Li Yong struggling to get up before, and after these few days of treatment, he is now able to get up and walk normally, so it is naturally normal.

"No need to be so polite. Since we're all Teacher He's friends, I'll naturally do my best to help. Let's go back to our rooms first!" Chen Qing still tried to shift the favor to Teacher He.

Back in his room upstairs, Chen Qing was very satisfied with Li Yong's current condition after taking his pulse. Indeed, century-old medicinal herbs were much better than fifty-year-old ones. At this rate of recovery, he could leave Manyuan Village after staying for a month.

"How is Mr. Chen Qing?"

Ha Wen couldn't wait to ask Chen Qing why they spent so much money to buy century-old medicinal herbs when fifty-year-old herbs would have been sufficient. They hoped to achieve the best possible effect.

"Don't worry, you're recovering very well. Just continue taking the medication as I instruct you," Chen Qing replied with a smile to Ha Wen's concerns.

After performing acupuncture on Li Yong, Chen Qing also treated Zhu Xun. He was more satisfied with the results of Zhu Xun's treatment, since her condition was much milder than Li Yong's.

"You're recovering very well. You won't need acupuncture anymore. Just continue taking your medication for the next month. If you want to leave, you can do so. Come back in a month and I'll check on you."

"Xiao Chen, do you mean I'm cured? And that I won't relapse?" Zhu Xun asked excitedly.

"Yes! You're cured. If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital for a checkup."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Seeing Zhu Xun reach out to hug him but hesitate, Chen Qing stepped forward and gave him a gentle hug, reassuring him, "Don't get too excited, it was just a small favor."

Having experienced many big events, Zhu Xun regained his composure and spoke again, "It's just a small favor for you, but for us it's a life-saving grace."

“Look at Yong, he’s only in his early fifties. If he were to die at this age, he would have countless regrets: the debt he owes to Sister Hawen, the debt he owes to Li, and the unfilial act of causing his parents to bury their child.” Zhu Xun smiled again as he said this, and his tone became more relaxed. “But your appearance changed him. Although twenty or thirty years doesn’t sound like a long time, it’s enough time for him to fulfill his filial duty to his parents, accompany his wife, and see Li get married and have children. At that time, he may still have regrets in his life, but these regrets will not make him uneasy or resentful.”

When Chen Qing heard Zhu Xun say that, he felt that his personality had been elevated. He just wanted to get some system rewards, but he never thought of becoming a doctor who saves lives or a dream builder who helps others fulfill their regrets.

"Sister Xun, please don't flatter me. I'm just a nobody who happens to have this one skill. It's nothing as noble as you make it out to be."

We can't let her keep praising him like this; if she keeps talking like this, he'll be too embarrassed to ask for treatment fees.

After spending so many days together, Zhu Xun had a general understanding of Chen Qing's personality. So when he saw Chen Qing being humble again, he just smiled knowingly and said, "The future of China belongs to you, and you will definitely be one of the best. Let's go to Yong Ge's room!"

Chen Qing remained noncommittal regarding Zhu Xun's evaluation. He believed that with the system by his side, Zhu Xun would be able to live a stable life in this world. As for whether he would become a leader, he said that it remained to be evaluated, as the system's constraints were too strong.

"Dog system!"

As usual, the two cursed the system. They left their room and went to Li Yong's room. Dong Qing saw them come in and immediately asked, "How is it?"

Li Yong's condition was so serious that he's almost fully recovered; Zhu Xun's condition is so much milder, he should recover even faster.

Regardless of gender or age, everyone is the same in front of their best friends. Zhu Xun stepped forward and hugged Dong Qing's arm, excitedly saying, "I'm cured! Xiao Chen said I'm healed. I just need to take medicine every day to regulate my body. I can even leave Manyuan Village if I want."

"Really? That's great!" Dong Qing was also overjoyed. She was happy for her friend, and then turned to Chen Qing to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Xiao Chen. I owe you a big favor this time."

"Alright, you don't all need to thank me. It's making things too formal."

"Yes! We're all friends. It's only right that Xiao Chen helps you. If you ever need anything in the future, you can think of him, or maybe give it to our younger brother and sister-in-law, Xiao Gu."

Teacher He also spoke up, not only to help Chen Qing out of the predicament, but also to hope that Dong Qing and others would think more about the benefits for Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu in the future, and preferably get them into the Spring Festival Gala this year, which would greatly help their popularity and reputation.

"No, don't consider me. If there's a real chance, you can consider my Xiao Gu."

Chen Qing hurriedly spoke up to stop him. He didn't want to waste the opportunity to leave the village that he had worked so hard to get on the way to record the show. Wouldn't it be better to save this opportunity for a romantic getaway with his wife?

Teacher He was truly helpless with Chen Qing's lazy and irresponsible personality. He couldn't understand why Chen Qing didn't leave the village to develop his career properly. With his abilities and talents, becoming famous in the area would have been a piece of cake.

Anyone with his talent would have become famous long ago, instead of staying in a small village. Are talented people really that strange?

"Fine, I can't persuade you. It's just a pity about your abilities." Teacher He sighed deeply in the end, admitting defeat.
