The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 297 Doctor Hu fell

When Grandma Wang took Wang Dalang to the county town, Wang Chuanfu was also working on building a new house.

When the villagers heard that they were going to build a new house for Dalang, everyone who had time came to help.

Early in the morning, a number of people arrived at Old Wang's house one after another, some carrying a few bricks and others carrying a basket of tiles.

"Uncle Wang, this is something left over from when my house was built. Do you think you can use it?"

"Xiao Fu, we still have some left at home, not too much. If everyone pools their money, we shouldn't need to make any new ones."

Hu San also came over carrying a wood-chopping knife: "Eldest son of the Wang family, have you found a suitable beam? I happen to have some free time today, so I'll get a few people to come with me and cut that wood down."

Wang Chuanfu was somewhat flattered: "How can you do that? We can do it ourselves. The grain will be brought in in a few days. There's no need to delay because of us. I'll take my time. Anyway, there's no rush."

Even if Wang Dalang had found a wife he liked, his family wasn't in a hurry to marry her this year. In the past, people married early so that their wives would come to their homes to do chores.

Of course, the earlier the better.

They weren't in a hurry, nor were they lacking in people to get things done, so they naturally let things take their course.

It's not too late for Wang Dalang to get married when he turns 18.

"It's better to do this sooner rather than later. By the time winter comes, it might start snowing again, and who knows what the weather will be like this year. It's better to get the house built before the snow arrives, which will save us a lot of trouble," Hu San said nonchalantly. "Your mother is already planning to sell us new grain seeds. It's nothing if we just do some manual labor."

This left Wang Chuanfu speechless.

On the contrary, little Ayu ran out happily and said to Wang Chuanfu, "Uncle, the teacher said that if you help others, others will help you. That's how you help each other."

"Yes, look how sensible our Ayu is." Hu San smiled, his eyes warming Ayu to the core.

I'm so envious! Why wasn't he the one who went out to pick up baby girls back then? Then they would have such a well-behaved granddaughter.

However, Hu Sanyi thought of his wife, who was somewhat sexist. Although he had never been harsh on his wife and granddaughter at home, he had not given them any extra care either.

He kept saying things that made people uncomfortable, so even if he had picked up a baby girl, his wife probably would have told him to throw her away.

Sigh, all I can do is envy them.

The villagers are all good at working, and they quickly helped clear the land next to them.

Then everyone was busy digging foundations, chopping wood, and arranging stones, bricks, and tiles.

Madam Feng hurriedly went to boil water, and Xiao Ayu was not idle either, helping to hand water to anyone who was thirsty.

Those people who drank Old Wang's water all praised it highly.

"If you ask me, Uncle Wang's water is really different. It tastes sweet. If you didn't know better, you'd think Uncle Wang put sugar in it." Someone said with a laugh, then tilted his head back and took a big gulp, as if to prove his point.

The others nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it tastes even better than spring water."

The villagers had all drunk Xiao Ayu's magic water to some extent, but not as much as the Wang family. So they were just slightly healthier and less prone to illness.

Relatively speaking, perhaps only Dr. Hu's family is affected.

However, Dr. Hu himself doesn't care much about money. A few days ago, while he was out collecting herbs, he found a clump of Paris polyphylla and planned to transplant it to the village to try planting it. Dr. Hu often goes out to collect herbs, while Hu Xiaotong stays in the village to oversee things. Sometimes, no one comes looking for them for more than ten days.

The villagers don't need to see a doctor for minor illnesses or treat serious illnesses unless they have unbearable headaches or fevers, in which case they would call Dr. Hu for a checkup.

Hu Xiaotong heard that Old Wang's family was going to build a new house, and half of the villagers had gone to see it. He also wanted to go and take a look.

Just as I walked over, I saw Tangyuan helping out outside the yard.

The little girl was very thin, and Hu Xiaotong sized her up with his not-so-precise eyesight.

It does appear to be lacking in nutrients, but it's not exactly unhealthy.

A very contradictory constitution.

Speaking of which, she's a bit like Xiao Ayu from back then.

Tangyuan saw Hu Xiaotong and smiled at him, but forgot his name, so she could only give an awkward smile.

"Is Ayu home?" Hu Xiaotong asked her.

Tangyuan nodded: "Yes, what do you need from the young master?"

"I have a small medicine packet here. You can take it to Ayu. Ayu is too delicate. There are still a lot of mosquitoes in the countryside. I'm afraid she might get bitten." After saying that, Hu Xiaotong handed over a packet containing mosquito repellent, mainly mugwort powder.

After Tangyuan took it, she whispered, "Mosquitoes don't bite the little master much, but thank you anyway."

Hu Xiaotong was unaware of this, found it somewhat amusing, and simply listened to it without taking it to heart.

Are there any people in this world who don't get bitten by mosquitoes?
Especially in the countryside, the mosquitoes are so numerous they make your scalp tingle. As the weather gets colder and it snows, the mosquitoes will gradually decrease.

"Just give it to them. If Ayu doesn't need it, let someone else use it. It's always good."

Tangyuan: "How much is it?"

"It's just a little bit, how can I ask you for money? You go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me, I still need to go up the mountain to gather herbs." Hu Xiaotong said and left, taking one last look at Tangyuan before she left.

Why does this new little girl keep calling Ah Yu "Little Master"? Could she be a servant that Old Wang's family bought?
Why buy such a little girl? What can she possibly do?
Even if she went up the mountain with him to gather herbs, she'd probably be scared away by a pheasant.

Of course, this was just something Hu Xiaotong thought about casually. His standard for judging whether someone was healthy or not was whether they could go up the mountain with him to collect herbs.

Tangyuan took the medicine packet back and handed it to Madam Feng. Madam Feng smiled and said, "Xiaotong is a good child. He always thinks of our family and gives us medicine packets from time to time. He doesn't charge us much."

Other villagers laughed and said, "Yes, Dr. Hu and his family are good people. They don't charge us much when we go to them for medical advice and medicine. Come to think of it, we haven't been sick much lately and we're in good health. I'm afraid Dr. Hu and his family won't be able to make any money."

"Haha, Dr. Hu is really happy. I remember one year when many people in our village were sick, Dr. Hu was so busy that he barely had time to eat, and he had to go to other people's homes to see patients."

As the group was chatting, someone suddenly rushed over and said that Dr. Hu had fallen while collecting herbs in the mountains.

"What? Is Dr. Hu alright?!"
