I practiced medicine in ancient times

Early the next morning, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan packed some clothes, had breakfast at the clinic, and headed for Shili Village.

Before leaving, the clinic also packed ten white flour buns for Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan to take away.

Apprentices have two days of rest and recuperation every month, which are the days for them to go home to visit their families. Before leaving, the clinic will give the apprentices five white flour buns to take back, which can be considered an invisible benefit that the clinic provides to the apprentices.

Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan did not go home in October, so they took their vacations in October and November together to rest. This time they were able to stay at home for four days, and they also advanced their November salary to take home with them.

On the way home, Bai Yan excitedly pulled Xu Qingyi and chatted with her, looking very happy.

In the past, they were not promoted to apprentices and could only go home for a seven-day holiday at the end of the year. Now they have not seen their family members for nearly a year, so it is inevitable that they feel excited and expectant.

After they are promoted to apprentices, they will have time to go home and visit their families every month.

The two walked through the forest path, bathing in the morning light and feeling the fresh air. Although the journey was long, their mood was extremely light.

Shili Village is ten miles away from Qingshui Town. There are dozens of households in the village, and it takes more than an hour to walk.

As Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan waited, Shili Village gradually appeared before their eyes. Seeing the familiar village and home, tears welled up in Bai Yan's eyes.

After not seeing each other for a year, everything in Shili Village looked so familiar. Xu Qingyi was also filled with emotion. She recalled the warm time when her original body was at home, and her heart was filled with emotion.

As soon as they stepped into the village, they were surrounded by a familiar and friendly atmosphere. The children in the village were playing on the roadside, and the laughter was heard one after another.

After the two parted ways, Xu Qingyi unknowingly walked to the door of his home.

In the original body's memory, her grandfather died early, and her grandmother relied on the three acres of thin land in the family to raise her father, uncle and aunt with great difficulty.

In order to find a wife for Xu Qingyi's father, the family spent all their wealth and added her aunt's dowry, which allowed her father to start a family.

As for her uncle, he was even more miserable. His family had no money to marry him off. Fortunately, her grandmother's nephew's family adopted an orphan girl since she was a child and let the orphan marry her uncle so that he could start a family. Even so, her uncle didn't get married until he was in his early twenties.

As for their generation, the eldest son is eleven years old this year, and he has a nine-year-old brother, a six-year-old sister, and a five-year-old cousin and a three-year-old cousin from his uncle's family.

As for Bai Yan's family, it was even worse off than her original family. She was one year older than Xu Qingyi, and her family had been a single-line family for five generations. Her grandfather and father both died of illness at a young age. The whole family relied on Bai Yan's grandmother and mother for support. Fortunately, her seven-year-old brother was left to inherit the family line.

The front door of the Xu family's yard was ajar. Xu Qingyi pushed the door open and walked into the main room. The house was silent.

She looked around at this home that was once familiar yet unfamiliar, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

It was a house with an earthen roof and four rooms in the main hall. There was a kitchen and warehouse in the backyard, as well as a chicken coop and pig house.

Although the furnishings in the house were simple, they were very clean and tidy, and every item was full of traces of life. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner fluctuations.

At this moment, with a creaking sound, an old woman with white hair, wrinkles on her face, and who looked to be in her sixties walked out of the house. It was Xu Qingyi's grandmother, Zhu.

When Zhu saw Xu Qingyi at first, she was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted and shouted with joy on her face: "Qingyi, why are you back? My dear, Qingyi is back."

As soon as Zhu's voice fell, the sound of giggling was heard from several rooms, and two adults and four children ran out of the rooms.

"My daughter, why did you come back at this time? It's not the New Year yet, is it?" After seeing her daughter, Zhang walked up to Xu Qingyi, looked around, touched her, and said with a look of joy on her face.

"Yeah! Why are you back at this time?" Xiao Zhu asked curiously.

"Miss."

"Miss."

After seeing Xu Qingyi, several little kids in the family called out to her happily and snuggled up to her. Only the fifth sister, Xu Qingwen, was only three years old. The last time she saw Xu Qingyi was when she was two years old. She had no impression of her. She was a little shy and hid behind her aunt, staring at Xu Qingyi, as if she was curious about who Xu Qingyi was.

"Grandma, mother, aunt, Bai Yan and I passed the clinic's apprentice assessment last month.

From now on, I will have two days of bathing time every month, and I will also have 50 coins as monthly allowance. "After Xu Qingyi was pulled into the room by her grandmother and sat down, she took out the 100 coins from her bag and handed them to her grandmother, and then took out the white flour buns one by one and gave them to her younger brother and sister-in-law, saying with a smile.

The second brother Xu Qingping was older. He did not eat the white flour bun given by Xu Qingyi, but gave it directly to his mother Zhang.

The third sister Xu Qing'an, the fourth brother Xu Qingwu, and the fifth sister Xu Qingwen were young, and the food they ate in the past was not oily and they could not feel full. This time, after seeing the fragrant and white steamed buns, they stuffed them into their mouths without saying a word, and began to eat them in big mouthfuls. They ate them voraciously, with satisfied expressions on their faces, as if they had never eaten such delicious food before.

The fifth sister had eaten and was not afraid of the stranger. She smiled with her mouth puffed out.

However, when Xu Qingyi saw her younger brothers and sisters-in-law, all of them were skinny and yellow, and looked greedy, she felt very sad.

"Good, my Qingyi has made progress. She passed the clinic's apprentice assessment so quickly. That's great." When Zhu heard that her granddaughter had passed the clinic's apprentice assessment and would have two days of bathing and rest time every month, plus a monthly salary of fifty cents, her wrinkled face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Seeing her grandchildren eating the steamed buns with big mouthfuls, a trace of pain flashed across her face, but she didn't say much.

"Second brother, you eat. I have more here. There's one for each person in our family. Grandma, dad, and uncle all have one." Xu Qingyi touched Xu Qingping's head and handed him a steamed bun.

Xu Qingping looked at his mother sensibly, and when he saw Zhang nodded at him, he began to eat in small bites.

"Qingping, take your younger siblings out to play. Watch them and don't let them get cold while playing in the water. Mother has something to say to your elder sister." At this time, Zhu and Zhang looked at each other, and Zhang sent her son to take the children out.

"Okay, let's go out." Xu Qingping seemed to understand something. After he glanced at his third sister Xu Qing'an, his little face showed reluctance and unwillingness. Then he called his younger brother and sister-in-law to go out and sat on the bench in the main hall. He no longer had the appetite to eat the white flour buns.
