Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she returned home to arrange a marriage with a militar

"What can I do, Sister Niu? I'm not a doctor either."

Shu Yun covered her nose as she spoke, "However, this room is now ventilated. Keeping the doors and windows closed like this can easily breed bacteria, which is not good for the child's recovery."

Niu Quanying quickly did as instructed, "Shu Yun is the best at this."

Shu Yun said helplessly, "Sister-in-law Niu, if you really believe me, you should take the child to the hospital now. It's better than you telling me now."

Niu Quanying clearly didn't believe her. "Don't lie to me. How did you manage to save that child from the Feng family back then? Shu Yun, you don't have some kind of grudge against me, do you? But no matter what, you can't involve the child."

"Yes, Shu Yun, please take a look at the child."

Don't act impulsively.

There were also people nearby egging her on, making Shu Yun's head ache.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that I really don’t have the ability. Leave professional matters to professionals. I’m not a doctor, so it’s no use asking me. And believe it or not, the child is yours anyway. Even if the high fever makes him stupid, it has nothing to do with me.”

As Shu Yun was about to leave, some people tried to stop her. Ah happy, who was in Shu Yun's arms, finally came in handy. She bared her teeth and snarled at anyone who approached, scaring everyone into pulling their hands away.

Shu Yun patted the dog's head with satisfaction and left. Several unfamiliar military wives followed her. One of them said to Shu Yun, "This family is out of their minds. Their child had diarrhea a few days ago, vomiting and having diarrhea. He was probably exhausted from the diarrhea, which is why he started to have a fever. I just brought some fermented rice wine with bayberries, but they didn't even care. They insisted on calling you over to make themselves look capable."

Seeing Shu Yun's curiosity, she immediately introduced herself, "I live in front of the Niu family's house. Look, my house is right in front of you."

“My surname is Shi, and my name is Shi Yan. You can just call me Sister Yan. It’s normal that you don’t know me. I went home to visit my family a few days ago and only got back yesterday. But I think you’re pretty and you speak very frankly. Let’s keep in touch more often in the future.”

She speaks frankly and straightforwardly, and Shu Yun quite enjoys being around her, nodding with a smile.

"Sister Yan, did you bring this bottle of bayberries from your hometown?"

Shi Yan laughed, "Little sister, do you think I'm stupid? I came all the way by train, why would I bring such fragile and heavy bottles and jars? These are bayberries I picked from the back mountain. I soaked them in white wine. When I have diarrhea, eating one is more effective than medicine."

"Are there any on the back mountain?" Shu Yun didn't see any bayberry trees when she went there last time.

"The back mountain is huge; there's an even steeper slope behind the small one."

Shi Yan weighed Shu Yun's small arms and legs in her hand. "Don't go up by yourself. Next time, ask me or have your man go with you."

"However, it's not the season for bayberries to ripen now, but the loquats are turning yellow."

When Shi Yan talked about loquats, she seemed to be able to imagine what they tasted like. Her eyes and eyebrows furrowed. "Don't even think about it. Those things are wild. They look like a bunch of yellow loquats, but actually not a single one is edible. They're all so sour they'll make your teeth fall out. Even the gluttonous kid in the yard wouldn't pick them. The birds would peck them all up."

Shu Yun didn't want to eat it either, but she could make loquat syrup. She could just scoop a spoonful into hot water and it would be so fragrant and sweet!

When Shu Yun got home and opened the door, Tian Xiufen peeked out from behind a side door, winking and saying, "I heard the noise in the yard earlier, and they called you over again."

Shu Yun nodded helplessly, put the dog down, patted its little round bottom, and then Ah happy went off to play by itself.

Tian Xiufen asked, "How many times is this this month?"

Shu Yun held up three fingers. Ever since she saved Xiao Bao from the brink of death, her reputation for bringing the dead back to life had spread throughout the family compound. Everyone seemed to think she was a reclusive miracle doctor, and they would go to her for a look at any problem. In particular, after she discovered that one of them might be allergic to eggs, they became even more obsessed with her.

“I’ve already told them that I’m not a medical student, just an art student. Why would anyone want to see me? How can they be so trusting? Aren’t they afraid that I’ll just say something nonsense and delay treatment?”

Tian Xiufen snorted, "What else could it be? They want you to do things for free, they want you to be available whenever they need them, and they want you to have a good conscience. Mengbai even brings some medicine. What do you think they want from you?"

Shu Yun was embarrassed by what Tian Xiufen said. Well, she thought so too. "Okay, anyway, I will definitely not go see it again."

Tian Xiufen gave her some advice: "If you don't go, people will criticize you and it will hurt your feelings. Next time, take your Gu Jun with you and see if they dare to make trouble for you again. If it happens too many times, they won't dare to come to you anymore."

Back home, Shu Yun mixed flour with water to form a dough and left it in a basin to rise. She then observed the hydroponic cuttings she had placed on the edge of her bed. These were the ones Gu Jun had taken her to collect from the mountain when she first moved in. She had cut a total of ten cuttings, and she changed their water regularly every few days, but there was still no change.

The lush green leaves turned yellow and the branches turned black. Shu Yun threw them all away, leaving only one seedling that was still green with green leaves. White tissue was growing from the cut end of the branch that was submerged in water, which was a sign that the branch was healing. Shu Yun carefully placed it in the sun, hoping that it would grow roots soon.

Roll the dough into a thin sheet, then cut it into long strips evenly. Sprinkle with dry flour to prevent sticking. Boil water in a pot, then add the noodles and stir.

Next, Shu Yun fried two eggs and made two kinds of toppings: shredded pork with garlic sauce and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The kitchen was bustling with activity and the aroma filled the air, much to the dismay of the two neighbors next door.

Gou Dan's drool was almost dripping onto his clothes. He swallowed hard and stared longingly at Tian Xiufen, who was also sniffing the air.

"Mom, it smells so good, I'm hungry."

Tian Xiufen, devoid of any maternal compassion, pushed Gou Dan's dirty little face away, asking, "Are you hungry? Am I not hungry?"

"Alright, your dad's on duty today and won't be home for dinner. It'll just be the two of us tonight. Eat if you're hungry."

Gou Dan looked at the steamed potatoes and pickled vegetables he had eaten for several meals on the table with a gloomy face, and sighed like a little adult.

Tian Xiufen also lost her appetite, but suddenly she sat up and said, "I've got it."

Dog Egg looked at Tian Xiufen in surprise, "What?" There's something delicious?

As it turned out, there was no smell at all. Tian Xiufen gave Gou Dan and her each a piece of cloth to cover their noses, and said in a low voice, "Now you can't smell anything, eat up."

Gu Jun smelled the delicious aroma wafting from his yard even before he got home. "What are you making for dinner today?"

Shu Yun squatted down in front of Gu Jun like she was presenting a treasure, "Longevity noodles, a belated birthday present, I hope it's not too late?"

Gu Jun took her hand. "It's not too late, I like it very much."

Actually, the word "birthday" is quite fashionable for Gu Jun. In rural areas, it's good enough if people can have enough to eat, and few families celebrate their children's birthdays. This is the first time he has heard of it from Zhao Hui.

So, to be precise, this was Gu Jun's first birthday. Although it was a day late, it tasted better than any bowl of noodles he had ever had before, and there was an egg that Shu Yun had fried for him underneath.

Shu Yun assured him, "I will never forget your birthday from now on. If possible, we will celebrate every birthday together."

Gu Jun: "I will celebrate every birthday with you."

Shu Yun glanced at him sideways, "You have to give me a gift."

Gu Jun squeezed her hand. "I know."
