Chapter 120 Chen Anye 16
Inside were a few sausages, a piece of cured pork, and a bag of chestnuts.
This is a thank-you gift she brought to Sister Ziyue, to express her gratitude for Sister Ziyue saving her yesterday.
Ziyue didn't want to accept it. In the rural areas of this era, most families only ate meat a few times a year.
Some people even only dare to cut off a little bit of meat to eat during the Chinese New Year.
To her surprise, the little girl insisted that she accept it, and looked like she was about to cry if she didn't.
Ziyue had no choice but to accept it, and little Chen Sisi then gave a mischievous smile.
Ziyue invited her into the house, made her a cup of brown sugar water, and put some fruits and snacks on the table, telling her not to be shy.
The little girl was initially embarrassed, but Ziyue said that she lived alone and the food would spoil if she couldn't finish it, so she asked Ziyue to help her finish some of it. Only then did the little girl start eating.
Ziyue could tell from her words and actions that little Chen Sisi wasn't craving these things and probably had plenty of snacks on her side.
Ziyue learned that the little girl has an older brother named Chen Siyou, who is 20 years old this year, while she is thirteen years old.
Her parents passed away when she was eight years old, and she was raised by her older brother who acted as both father and mother to her.
She just started junior high school this year and attends a junior high school in the county. Her brother works in a machinery factory in the county.
She had already started school, but things have been chaotic at school lately, so her brother asked for leave for her and is temporarily keeping her from going to school.
Her brother went out yesterday, and she was bored at home, so she went to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables.
The little girl is quite a chatterbox; her eyes sparkle when she talks about her brother, and she speaks with great pride.
She said her brother was incredibly capable, that he had many friends, and that he frequently traveled to other cities, always bringing back some unusual items.
Ziyue thought that the little girl's brother might be doing some small business or something.
However, she thought that in this era, if one were caught engaging in speculation and profiteering, the consequences would be very severe.
So he reminded the little girl never to mention her brother's actions to anyone again.
The little girl blinked her eyes, looking mischievous.
"Don't worry, Sister Ziyue, I'm not stupid. I've never told anyone before. You're the first one, Sister Ziyue."
"You trust me that much? What if I'm a bad person?" Ziyue asked rhetorically.
"No way, Sister Ziyue is a really good person."
The little girl was quite self-righteous, which made Ziyue shake her head and laugh.
The little girl spent the whole morning with Ziyue. Occasionally, when patients came, she would curiously follow behind Ziyue and watch her treat others.
Chen Sisi reluctantly went home when it was lunchtime.
When I got home, I saw a box of White Rabbit milk candy and a packet of osmanthus cake in my basket.
This was put in by Ziyue when she wasn't paying attention.
When Chen Siyou entered the room, she saw her younger sister looking at the basket with a conflicted expression.
He approached, saw the contents of the basket, lowered his gaze in thought, and asked, "Did that Dr. Qing give this to you?"
"Yes, brother, I didn't know. I only saw these two packages when I got home," Chen Sisi quickly explained.
Because she was carrying sausages and cured meat, it wasn't convenient to make a big fuss about it. Just in case, she had laid a pile of dry grass on top of it, so she really didn't notice the difference in weight.
"Then keep it. She probably likes you too, but be careful not to cause trouble for her when you go there." Chen Siyou rubbed her head and then warned her in a deep voice.
"I would never cause trouble for Sister Ziyue. Sister Ziyue is such a kind person. She is not only beautiful but also very capable. With those silver needles, she pinned the snake to the tree in a flash."
Chen Sisi spoke and gestured, her excitement and admiration overflowing.
Looking at his sister's excited expression, Chen Siyou thought about the villagers' comments about Dr. Qing that he had heard when he returned these past two days.
He was told that she was young, had excellent medical skills, was beautiful, and had a good personality. Combined with his sister's evaluation, this aroused his curiosity.
However, this has nothing to do with him.
"Sisi, I might not be home tonight. Your brother An Ye will be coming over. We're going out to do some things. Make sure you lock the door when you're home tonight, okay?"
Chen Sisi nodded, "Don't worry, brother, I'm very capable. Besides, the village chief's house is right next door. If I need anything, I can just shout and he'll hear me."
Chen Siyou nodded and went into the kitchen.

In October, being nestled among the mountains, Dahe Village already felt a bit chilly early on.
No one came to the clinic, so Ziyue closed the clinic door early, locked the room door, and entered the space.
They took out a roast duck from the warehouse, along with shredded scallions, shredded cucumber, spring pancakes, hawthorn strips, and sauce.
I slowly rolled one after another, and all I could say was, they were delicious.
Ziyue ate to her heart's content. After eating, she washed her hands, brushed her teeth, read medical books, and went to sleep when she was tired.
Another leisurely, laid-back, yet fulfilling day.
-
The sky was dark, moonlight shone down, and countless stars twinkled.
Chen Siyou followed the figure ahead. The two walked along a little-known path, through dense undergrowth, and not far over the mountain, they saw several blurry figures waiting ahead.
Chen Anye waved his hand, and Chen Siyou immediately stopped as well. Both of them had sharp eyes and followed the agreed signal...
-
For the next period of time, little Chen Sisi often came to the clinic to play with Ziyue and often brought her some dried meat.
In return, Ziyue would give her some candy, snacks, fruit, and the like.
Seeing that she was very interested in treating illnesses, Ziyue would teach her to recognize some herbs, how to observe, smell, inquire, and palpate, and some simple prescriptions.
The little girl started going to the clinic even more frequently, practically treating it as her home. Sometimes she would even go with Ziyue to the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs.
When Chen Siyou learned that her younger sister was learning some basic medical skills from Dr. Qing, she encouraged her to follow along and learn diligently.
She also asked her younger sister to bring more cured meat and dried meat from home to give to Ziyue.
Since she's a girl, it wasn't really appropriate for him to go directly to her to express his gratitude, so he had his sister do it instead.
They didn't lack these things at home. He would occasionally go to the mountains to hunt some wild game when he had time. He also had some connections in the city, so he knew all about these transactions.
-
In late October, just before November, the sky was foggy and a bit chilly when I woke up early.
That morning, Ziyue arrived at the village entrance early as well, greeted Uncle Zhang, and got on the oxcart.
Sister-in-law Wang took Zhiyong and Deshan back to her parents' home to visit her sister-in-law, who had just finished her postpartum confinement. She lent her bicycle to Sister-in-law Wang.
She had barely sat down when she saw a tall, handsome man walk toward the oxcart and sit down opposite her.
He has handsome, resolute features and a healthy wheat-colored complexion.
He wore a white shirt with slightly flattened cuffs and green military trousers, looking like a tall, handsome man with long legs and a neat, clean appearance.
This was the most handsome boy she had seen since she went to the countryside.
Chen Anye looked at the girl sitting opposite him, wearing a dark green shirt-style velvet dress. The long skirt, reaching her ankles, was decorated with delicate embroidery, and the cinched waist design showed off her slender and delicate waist.
He wore a long black trench coat and a pair of black leather shoes.
Her long, jet-black hair was loosely braided and hung diagonally across her chest. She had fair skin and large, expressive eyes that seemed to sparkle.
She had a small, delicate nose, pink lips, and dimples that were faintly visible on her face.
A glint flashed in Chen Anye's eyes. Sisi was right; this Dr. Qing was indeed very beautiful.
This wasn't even yesterday when he stayed at Ayou and Sisi's house. During breakfast this morning, Sisi kept saying that she couldn't go to the clinic today, saying that her sister Ziyue was going to the county today, and how wonderful and outstanding her sister Ziyue was...
A burst of incessant chatter...
Chen Siyou had gotten used to it. Ever since he met this Qing Zhiqing, the person his sister liked the most had to step down and take second place.
Chen Anye originally intended to ride his bicycle back to the city, but before leaving, he inexplicably left his bicycle at Ayou's house and walked to the oxcart at the village entrance.
Chen Anye felt that something was wrong with him.
He felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
The sound of his heartbeat seemed to be right next to his ear, and he was afraid that the person sitting opposite him would hear it.
Although he knew it was impossible, he still quickly turned his head to look elsewhere.
Ziyue glanced at the person opposite her and noticed their bright red ears. She wondered what was wrong with this person, why did their ears turn red so easily?
So, along the way, I would occasionally glance at his ears to see if they were still red.
Not many people went to the county today. Besides Ziyue and the boy across the street, there were two other women from the village.
Chen Anye noticed that the girl opposite him kept glancing in his direction, as if she was looking at his ears.
He couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his ears or what.
Gradually, realizing what was happening, she quickly lowered her head, her ears turning even redder.
Every time Ziyue glanced at him, his heart would beat faster uncontrollably.
Even after arriving in the county town, his heart was still pounding.
Ziyue watched the man jump out of the car in a panic, wondering to herself: Was she that scary that she could frighten him away so fast?
Chen Anye jumped out of the car and ran into an alley. It took him a long time for his heartbeat to calm down.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that Dr. Qing was dressed so beautifully, and that there were quite a few thugs and ruffians in the county. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly went out of the alley to look for Ziyue.
What he didn't know was that Ziyue had encountered those so-called thugs and ruffians when she first came to the county.
However, she gave those people a good beating, and from then on, those "thugs" turned over a new leaf and would avoid her whenever they saw her.
Chen Anye suddenly remembered that Sisi had said that Dr. Qing went to the post office every week to mail letters and pick up packages, so he turned around and strode towards the post office.
