When Feng Qingqing heard that the loudest cheerer was actually Ye Dahua, the brigade leader's wife, she was taken aback. She hadn't offended Ye Dahua at all.

Feng Qingqing hadn't offended Ye Dahua, but that didn't stop Ye Dahua from making things up in her head. Ever since her son was injured, seeing her once lively and active son now confined to bed every day, she hadn't had a single good day.

Although Jiang Yun was dismissed from her position as a scorekeeper, it didn't quell her resentment. Furthermore, Jiang Yun and Feng Qingqing were relatives, which inevitably implicated those unaware of the situation. Coupled with her son's instigation, their impression of Feng Qingqing only worsened.

So, when Ye Dahua heard Aunt Tao and Auntie Tao praising the new sanitation worker in the field today, she reflexively refuted them with strong words.

What are you talking about? She's just a young girl who just came to the countryside. What does she know? She's supposed to be better than Doctor Wang? She's only been learning for three days. How good can her medical skills be?

Everyone agreed with what the team leader's wife said, but since she was a medic, they didn't want to offend her too much, so the smart ones kept quiet.

Aside from Ye Dahua's relatives and friends who spoke up for her, everyone else present watched from the sidelines. After all, in this day and age, you can't afford to offend a doctor.

Finally, Hu Fangming stammered:

"Qingqing, Qingqing, I was right here today. I think the brigade leader's wife seems to have a lot of opinions about you. After all, she is the brigade leader's wife. I think you should be careful."

Feng Qingqing knew that this girl genuinely cared about her, so she nodded seriously.

Meanwhile, Hu Fangming rummaged in her pocket and finally pulled out a small cloth bag. She opened it and took out five yuan, which she handed to Feng Qingqing. Then she took out three yuan. The five yuan was for building the stove, and she would pay half of it. The other three yuan was for her monthly food allowance, since they didn't live together and this needed to be settled.

Feng Qingqing thought about it for a moment and decided to accept it, since what she said was true, but Hu Fangming needed to bring the grain over himself.

The two spent almost an hour eating and talking. After finishing their meal, they tidied up together, and Hu Fangming prepared to go back.

Suddenly, Hu Fangming remembered Jiang Hongjun, who said that after being in pain all night, he was actually fine the next day. The people in the educated youth compound were also puzzled and didn't know what had happened.

Feng Qingqing listened silently, nodding slightly without commenting, but inwardly added with a cold laugh: Of course, the first time was short; let's see what happens next.

After Hu Fangming left, Feng Qingqing sat quietly behind the counter, tidying up the items in her space. These were mainly mountain products and salted goods she had obtained from Jiang Hongjun. She couldn't eat them all by herself, so she decided to sell them on the black market or to someone in her area.

Around eight o'clock, there was a soft knock on the door. Feng Qingqing went over and gently asked:

"Who?"

A familiar male voice came from over there:

"I."

Upon hearing that it was He Yong'an, Feng Qingqing quickly opened and closed the door.

After entering the room, Feng Qingqing first took a closer look at He Yong'an under the kerosene lamp and found that his complexion had returned to normal compared to before, which reassured her somewhat.

Feng Qingqing went into the inner room, put all the items she had packed earlier into a large bag, and handed it to He Yong'an.

After giving a brief explanation, He Yong'an prepared to leave, but suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned to Feng Qingqing and said:

"I've been keeping an eye on that person you asked me to keep an eye on, and it seems like the two of them have made some moves today."

Feng Qingqing paused for a moment, then nodded to indicate that she understood.

I didn't say much else, and then I saw him out.

Feng Qingqing knew that his health was gradually improving and that he was working hard for their future.

After He Yong'an left, Feng Qingqing fetched water to wash up and then lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Feng Qingqing habitually checked her space before going to sleep, and to her surprise, the Chinese herbs she had planted were ripe. The screen asked if she wanted to harvest and sell them with one click, and Feng Qingqing answered yes to all of them.

She's currently short on points, and she wonders how many points these Chinese medicines can be exchanged for.

Two minutes later, her points account showed an increase of 200 points. Seeing the points, Feng Qingqing was still a little disappointed, but at least the maturation time this time exceeded her expectations.

In the breeding area, Feng Qingqing harvested another batch of chicken and duck eggs, which she exchanged for 80 points. Her total points are now 370.

Seeing this, Feng Qingqing finally smiled.

Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Qingqing quickly exited the spatial dimension and went to sleep.

The next day, Feng Qingqing got up early. Today she planned to go to the commune to buy some Chinese medicinal seeds and other daily necessities.

Feng Qingqing only needs to inform the brigade cadres before going out. When she arrived at the brigade headquarters, she happened to run into the oxcart that was taking people to the commune. Feng Qingqing quickly greeted them, went to the brigade office to give Director Zhang a brief explanation, and then went out to get on the oxcart.

At this time, several elderly women were already sitting on the bus, and coincidentally, Ye Dahua, the wife of the brigade leader, was among them.

Lately, Ye Dahua has been going to the commune every now and then, either to buy meat or bones, or to buy steamed buns at the state-run canteen or chicken cakes at the supply and marketing cooperative to supplement her youngest son's diet. Today, she came out because the family hasn't eaten meat for two or three days.

Not long after getting on the bus, they saw the medic Feng Qingqing. Before Feng Qingqing could even sit down properly, someone came running up from a distance, panting. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Aunt Wu.

Upon seeing this, Feng Qingqing was secretly delighted; it seemed like fate had brought them together.

Ye Dahua, whose expression was already not good when she saw Feng Qingqing coming over, looked even worse when she saw that the person who came was Zhang Aping.

Feng Qingqing quickly squeezed to the side to make room for Aunt Wu to sit down.

After Aunt Wu got on the cart, the driver cracked his whip and slowly headed towards the commune.

Zhang Aping was afraid of missing the oxcart, so she rushed all the way. She hadn't even caught her breath after getting on the cart when she saw Feng Qingqing and Ye Dahua, whom she had argued with the day before.

Upon seeing Ye Dahua, Zhang Aping reflexively sat up straight, her eyes darting around before she looked at Feng Qingqing with a beaming smile and said:

"I was saying, 'Dr. Feng is going to the commune too? What a coincidence! Do you know why I'm late today?'"

Without waiting for Feng Qingqing to reply, she continued speaking on her own:

"That's because my husband, Lao Wu, I don't know if he's never had a good night's sleep or what, he actually slept until six o'clock this morning and still hadn't woken up. I was so happy. It turns out that his leg pain often keeps him up all night. This time, we really have to thank you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Dahua, her expression full of provocation, leaving Feng Qingqing feeling helpless.
