The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

The huge contrast between Meng Yuanyou's excuse that night and his true identity was like a ripple suddenly appearing on the calm lake, unexpected and intriguing.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the two busy people, adding a bit of warmth to this ordinary scene.

Su Yu noticed that although He Dasao's hands were a little rough, her movements were skillful and powerful. Every time she built a piece of bamboo fence, it seemed like she was writing a footnote of hard work and persistence on the land.

He Dasao's husband - the butcher during the day and the "weak patient" at night - assisted silently and attentively. Occasionally he looked up and exchanged a tacit glance with He Dasao. The warmth that inadvertently revealed made people feel a simple and pure happiness.

The fence gradually took shape, as if it was a protective boundary for this piece of land, isolating it from the outside world while protecting the peace within.

Su Yu looked at this scene and felt inexplicably moved.

In this small village, everyone is working hard to live in his or her own way, and the mutual help and care between each other constitute the most solid foundation of this community.

"Mrs. He, thank you so much," Su Yu expressed her gratitude again sincerely, her voice gentle and sincere, "When the fence is built, I will definitely invite you to my house for a meal, just as a small token of my appreciation."

Xie Qifen smiled brightly, like the warmest spring breeze, "That's great. We villagers all care about helping each other! Don't forget to pick more vegetables from your garden. They're very fresh!"

As she spoke, Xie Qifen lowered her head and continued with the work in her hands, occasionally exchanging tools with her husband or chatting in a low voice. The harmony and tacit understanding between them filled Su Yu's heart with warmth.

At this moment, she seemed to have touched the essence of life - simple, plain, yet full of infinite warmth and strength.

Xier was observing all this curiously from the side, occasionally picking up twigs scattered on the ground and imitating the adults how to make a fence. Her childish smile looked particularly bright in the sun, adding a bit of vitality and hope to this picture of labor.

In this way, time passed quietly in the growth of the fence, and those stories about misunderstanding and understanding, hard work and help were silently woven into the daily life of the village, becoming an unforgettable memory in Su Yu's heart.

Su Yu spoke vaguely and skillfully avoided the secret that Meng Yuanyou went to seek medical treatment privately. After all, this was a matter between husband and wife, and as an outsider, it was naturally not appropriate for her to say too much.

But her eyes revealed more pity and understanding for Xie Qifen.

Recalling that day when I silently observed Director Liu's diagnosis and treatment process, Director Liu didn't even take Meng Yuanyou's pulse carefully, but he was able to tell the hidden illness of Meng Yuanyou based on his experience alone.

The spermatorrhea and lack of energy meant that Sister Xie Qifen had never truly experienced the sweetness and pleasure of married life. This made Su Yu sigh in his heart, and he secretly wondered how Sister Wang had managed to survive all these years.

Although Sister Wang readily agreed to help repair the fence and take care of the vegetable garden, Su Yu knew that this was someone else's business after all, and since she was there, she could not just stand by and watch.

So, as soon as she put down the backpack, she quickly immersed herself in the work.

If you don't participate in it yourself, you really won't understand that weaving a fence is far from as simple as you imagine. It requires the willow branches to be tightly interwoven to form a closed barrier from top to bottom to prevent pheasants from flying in, while also resisting the gaps where cunning rabbits can drill in. It is a job that tests both skill and physical strength.

Without the strength of a man, this task would be difficult to accomplish.

Little Xier was not willing to be left behind. She kept passing the willow branches with her little hands. Although she looked immature, she was enjoying it.

Everyone worked hard until the sun set, and the fence was finally completed with everyone's joint efforts.

Su Yu looked at the sturdy fence in front of him, feeling deeply moved. He thought to himself that if he relied on his own strength, it would take him a long time to complete it, let alone make it so strong.

Su Yu was grateful for the sincere help from Sister Wang and her husband. After feeling a little apologetic, she sincerely invited them, "Why don't you come to my house for dinner? I'll let you taste my cooking skills."

After hearing this, Xie Qifen quickly waved her hands, saying "no need, no need" repeatedly, looking embarrassed.

Su Yu held her hand stubbornly and said with a smile: "Why should we be polite to each other?"

These simple words seemed to instantly eliminate the estrangement between the two people and bring them closer to each other.

Under Su Yu's enthusiastic insistence, Xie Qifen finally couldn't refuse, but she was worried about her elder brother Meng at home who might not be willing to go out.

She turned to look at Meng Yuanyou, her eyes full of questions.

After experiencing his wife's "love education", Meng Yuanyou seemed to have learned a lot and answered casually: "I listen to you."

After these words were spoken, Xie Qifen felt quite proud in front of outsiders, and her heart was also comforted.

She agreed with a smile on her face: "Okay, I'll help you today, and let me taste your cooking skills."

The two families hit it off immediately and set off on their journey home.

When passing by Xie Qifen's house, she used the excuse of going back to pack up her tools, but in fact she thought it would be inappropriate to go to the banquet empty-handed, so she hurried into the vegetable garden and picked some fresh vegetables herself. At the same time, she asked Meng Yuanyou to bring the medicinal wine that he treasured very much as a contribution to the dinner.

Seeing this, Su Yu also felt that he had no decent dishes at home, so he took Xier to the riverside.

Every time a fat fish was caught, Xier would clapped excitedly, and her laughter was as clear and sweet as silver bells.

Today's harvest is quite rich. The fish are not only plump but also tender, making people look forward to the delicious meal in the evening.

On the way back, they passed by a lotus pond, and Su Yuxin picked a few tender green lotus leaf tips to decorate the table. At the same time, he picked a few large round lotus leaves for Xier and gently raised them above his head to block the scorching sun for the child and create a cool shade.

Looking at Xier holding a lotus leaf, jumping, laughing and playing, Su Yu couldn't help but recall his own childhood, when he was also carefree and happy with his master.

However, Xier accidentally slipped and almost fell into the pond. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and stabilized herself.

Even so, Su Yu was still frightened by this scene and hurriedly reminded: "Be careful!" Xier turned around, stuck out her tongue mischievously, with an innocent smile on her face, looking particularly cute and funny.

When I returned to that familiar and warm home, the figures of Xie Qifen and his wife were already in sight. They were sitting on the old wooden chairs in the main room, their eyes full of anticipation and a little uneasiness, as if time had stopped at this moment, just waiting for someone to come.

The light shines softly on their faces, outlining the traces of time, but also adding a bit of homely warmth.
