Reborn and hastily married to a military officer, the aloof beauty's medical skills bring prosp

If the county town hasn't changed much, then Zhangjiagou is like a piece of amber frozen in time, unchanged at all.

The road into the village was still as bad as ever, and the bumpy ride made Xiao Wuhui scream excitedly in the back seat. Mu Huaixi held Xiao Heping tightly and gripped the window handle, thinking to herself that she had indeed become more delicate and couldn't even stand this.

Cars were still a rarity in Zhangjiagou, and as soon as they drove in, people curiously gathered around.

"Auntie, is Dr. Mu home today?" Mu Huaixi rolled down the car window and asked the auntie by the roadside.

They didn't tell Uncle San when they came back. I don't know if they were at home or out on a house call today. It's good that they didn't tell Uncle San in advance, otherwise he would have been worried if they delayed him this morning.

"Are you looking for Mu Laosan?" The aunt glanced at her but didn't recognize her. She waved to a group of children circling in front of the car. "Shuiwa, your relative!"

"Shuiwa?" Mu Huaixi looked at the seven or eight-year-old child running over in surprise. When did her third uncle have such a big child?

Behind Shuiwa was a little boy who was eating snot and staring at the handkerchief on Xiao Heping's body, which was printed with a circle of fruit candies.

"What do you want with my father?"

"..." Mu Huaixi hesitated for only a moment before smiling and handing over candy and egg rolls. "Is your dad home?"

"At home," Shuiwa hesitated for a moment, then took the candy, crushed it, and fed a few small pieces to her younger brother who was looking at her expectantly.

Mu Huaixi also noticed that the snotty-nosed child's eyebrows and eyes resembled both her and her third uncle's, so he was probably their biological son. However, the strong-looking water child was probably brought over by her third aunt.

She didn't think any further; everything would be clear once she met her third uncle.

After the car drove away, the aunt belatedly slapped her forehead, "Oh dear! Isn't that the Mu family's little girl who got married!"

The Mu family's little girl was the talk of the town a few years ago because her family was arrested. When they were released, the two of them were devastated and have been living a quiet life in the village ever since.

Last year, Mu Laoda and Mu Laosan met on the street, and after exchanging words, they started fighting.

It's said that it's all because of this girl from the Mu family. Some say she stole things from the Mu family and ran away, ruining her uncle and aunt's lives. Others say she ran away from her arranged marriage and married a soldier, and probably won't come back for the rest of her life. The rumors are all very mysterious.

I never expected him to come back, and he was even driving!

She noticed the man in the driver's seat was wearing a military uniform; he must have married a soldier back then.

Not knowing how the Mu family would react to her return, the aunt rolled her eyes, packed up her grass-cutting tools, and without even taking the grass basket, ran back to report the news.

I lost one of my shoes while running.

The village roads were narrow, and they couldn't reach Uncle San's house. Mu Huaixi had Ying Mingcheng stop by the threshing ground, where the view was wide and good, and they could see Uncle San's house from there.

She held hands with Xiao Wuhui and Xiao Heping, while Ying Mingcheng took out a handful of gifts from the trunk. There were so many that even she glanced at them, let alone the little ones who had followed along.

Fortunately, it was close to noon, and the villagers were either in the fields or at home preparing food, so there weren't many people on the road. However, they still attracted quite a few surprised and envious glances.

"When did you buy so much again?" Mu Huaixi approached and asked in a low voice. She had prepared the gift for her third uncle, but she didn't expect Ying Mingcheng to add so much more.

Ying Mingcheng smiled and said, "Some of them were given to me by Lao Wei. I thought they were hard to store, so I brought them over."

Some of the gifts were bought by Lao Wei on his behalf. He hadn't been back for several years, so he should have brought more gifts to avoid his third uncle kicking him out.

Ying Mingcheng was joking, of course. Before they even entered the house, they were spotted by their third uncle, who was drying medicinal herbs in the yard. He immediately threw down his winnowing basket and came to greet them.

"Oh dear, Xiao Xi is back!" Uncle San walked in a hurry, making his limp even more obvious, and Shuiwa quickly went to help him.

He found the water boy walking too slowly, so he broke free from his grasp and strode forward.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?" Uncle San was very excited, and he was even happier when he saw the two children she was holding. "These must be Heping and Huihui, right? They're so good-looking."

"Third Uncle," Mu Huaixi's eyes welled up with tears, and she gestured for the two little ones to call out to him.

Ying Wuhui immediately called out "Third Grandfather" obediently. Xiao Heping was a little timid in the unfamiliar place, but he also called out after his brother.

"Oh my, oh my, oh my," Uncle San was overjoyed, especially when he saw Xiao Wu Hui's spirited and generous appearance. He reached out to hug him, but then felt that he was not clean, so he quickly wiped his hands on his clothes and led him into the courtyard.

"Come in, come in quickly!" Uncle San greeted the guests warmly, then turned and called to the kitchen, "Baolian! Baolian! Shuiwa's mother! Come out quickly, Xiaoxi is back!"

Standing in front of her third uncle's house, Mu Huaixi noticed that the courtyard was different from before. Her third uncle had difficulty walking, so even when he tried to clean, he would only sweep the yard and not tidy it up as neatly as he did now. It seemed that her third aunt was a capable person.

Two rows of chicken coops were set up in the yard, and a small vegetable garden was opened on the outer side of the yard, which immediately filled the yard with a sense of life.

"Hey," a woman named Baolian responded and came out of the kitchen, her appearance quite striking.

When Mu Huaixi heard about her third uncle's marriage, she sent a gift back home, but she didn't expect her third aunt to be so beautiful.

"Third Aunt," she greeted them, and then told the children to call her Third Grandma. Baolian smiled and welcomed them into the living room, hurriedly serving tea and candy, and then rushing off to cut some meat.

Ying Mingcheng stopped her, saying, "Third Aunt, we've brought meat and vegetables, so don't run away."

Baolian then noticed a pile of boxes and baskets in the corner, and smiled sheepishly, "Why did you bring so much stuff when you went back to your parents' home?"

"It's been a long time since I've been back, and I just couldn't stop buying things," Mu Huaixi said, pulling out three slices of pork belly, three pig tails, a whole pig leg, and several large fish from the basket.

Ying Mingcheng asked Lao Wei to help him buy all of these, along with rice, flour, and two large boxes of apples.

"This, this is too much!" Chen Baolian had heard her husband mention Mu Huaixi, who was a military doctor and very successful!

When they got married, Xiao Mu sent back several gifts, including a wedding quilt and a set of bed sheets and pillowcases, which made her the center of attention.

"Xiaoxi is so filial. Take all the meat she brought and cook some good dishes for lunch so the kids can have a good meal!" Uncle San smiled broadly, chatting and drinking tea with Ying Mingcheng while playing with his grandchildren. He looked even younger than he had a few years ago!

After the meal, Mu Huaixi suggested that she wanted to visit the graves. "Third Uncle, I haven't been back for several years. I want to go and see my parents and grandparents."

“We should go, we should go,” Uncle San nodded, patting his leg. “I haven’t been there in a while, let’s go together this afternoon!”

The Mu family members are all buried on the mountain. Uncle San has difficulty walking and can only go there once every six months. Mu Huaixi was worried that he would be overworked, but he waved his hand and said, "Without me, you probably wouldn't even be able to find the place!"
