Honestly speaking, Guo Dong felt very complicated when talking about the troubles at home.
But all these complexities, after facing Wulan Qiqi Aiai's hint, turned into a helpless smile.
"Auntie, you think too much. I look a lot like my parents."
Besides, based on her experience growing up in the village, even if her parents really couldn't have children and needed to adopt a child, they would definitely not raise a girl for a long time.
“Oh…oh…”
Wu Lan responded awkwardly, but then her expression turned blank: "If it's her biological child, why is she so upset?"
Urging children to get married is considered normal in the eyes of their generation. When children grow up, they should get married and have children.
But when buying a pig, you have to look at the pen. When choosing a man for your daughter, don’t you have to be even more selective? What kind of person did Dr. Guo’s mother choose
Listen to what Xiao Guo said, he is a gambler and an alcoholic... That's it, isn't it obvious that he is making his daughter suffer!
However, with thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, Wulan became more confident about persuading people to stay in the village.
Otherwise, why would such a young girl with such good conditions be so desperate as to settle down in this strange and remote place
Guo Dong thought to himself: If you talk about things when you are sad, you will feel better.
As a result, her mood was much relieved at this moment, and she turned around to comfort Wulan:
"It's okay, Auntie. I couldn't get over it at first. It was very painful. Later I understood that she called me selfish because of her extreme behavior, which happened to be her true selfishness."
This was only because she and Wulan got along well, otherwise she would never have said this.
"If they don't get along, then they don't get along. Some people are just not born with the right parents."
Listen, listen!
Is this something a young girl should say
Wulan then felt even more sympathetic.
"If you ask me, it must be the bad morals in your village. How dare a matchmaker like this come to our house and say - let her go to our village, and I'll see if they don't beat her out with a big broom!"
Guo Dong chuckled: "Really? Your village is so good?"
Wulan also told the truth: "It wasn't so good before. You don't know, when I was a daughter-in-law, I don't know why, several families around me gave birth to girls in succession - what should I do? I have to feel sorry for my own children."
"Besides, our village is poor, there is nothing to compare. Children don't have to pay to go to school, so we can just compare the certificates!"
Speaking of this, Wulan's face was full of pride: her son Tantan brought back awards every semester.
"When the children grow up, your family sends the daughter to college, and my family has to work hard to send one too. This way, we compete with each other, and won't we all be affected?"
Guo Dong was stunned.
Then he sighed with regret, his eyes showing a hint of yearning:
"That's great. It's a competition of colleges, not dowry."
"cough."
Wulan's expression became even weirder:
"Well... the main thing is that the kids are not doing well and they can't get into college..."
She smiled awkwardly: "You know, the education level in our village is just like this."
For example, their daughter Tan Tan, when she was in junior high school, students in the town could read English passages right away, but she hadn’t even learned her ABCs yet.
Others go to cram school during holidays, but she comes back to pick tea leaves and carry firewood during holidays...
Well, to be honest, the child is not a genius, nor is he the type who studies hard... So in the whole village, let alone those with outstanding academic qualifications, there are not many who can get into university.
Ah this.
This is quite true.
Guo Dong didn't know what to say.
She originally wanted to say that being able to get out was a good thing. However, all the far-reaching words of consolation gradually lost their soul in Wulan's unreasonable responses...
In the end, she could only laugh dryly:
"Auntie, this place is really interesting."
Wu Lan became excited and slapped his thigh:
"Right! I told you that our village is so good, but it's a pity that you, Doctor Guo, are so capable now and you must go to the big city to work hard. If there is a chance, I really want to keep you in the village - not to mention anything else, it's so convenient to have a doctor!"
"My old man and old lady don't have to worry about conditioning their bodies anymore."
"That's not worth anything."
Guo Dong laughed and said, "Auntie, if you trust me, I will take their pulses and write them a prescription. You can just go to the pharmacy to get the medicine."
"But Chinese medicine is a long process, so don't be impatient."
She was quite touched - because she was a woman, so young, and it took her a lot of effort to gain people's trust when she first opened her own clinic.
I didn't expect that this aunt I just met trusts me so much!
Ulan: …
She realized it—oh boy, we had gone too far.
So he quickly pulled himself back and said, "Hey, why doesn't the county arrange a doctor like you for our village? Our village doctor is going to live in the town soon. After that, dozens of elderly people in the village will be without a doctor."
She sighed quietly, her expression looking very distant and filled with worry about the future of the mountain village.
Guo Dong: …
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the aunt in front of her seemed to have a hidden meaning in her words, but what did it mean
Does Rosa rugosa want to raise the price again
No. The price of 200 is already scary enough, if it goes up further, there will be no way out.
Or... are you afraid she won't buy it, so you want to give her some room to bargain
She was a little undecided for a moment.
Song Tan, who was listening nearby, could not help but sigh silently - that is to say, communication among contemporary young people must be done by young people!
So he walked over and asked directly, "Doctor Guo, have you found a place to live?"
“No!”
Guo Dong answered subconsciously.
Then he came to his senses and said, "I plan to rent a house downtown tomorrow. The rent here should be about the same as ours."
Anyway, both sides are 18th-tier small cities with similar consumption levels.
"Oh, you really don't know how to live."
Song Tan also picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it slowly: "Didn't you leave home? Now you have no income, and you still have to spend money to buy medicinal materials - the money is used to rent a house, what should I do if it is inconvenient to purchase the goods myself?"
She suddenly thought so carefully that Guo Dong was a little uncomfortable. He could only answer tentatively:
“I can usually use Huabei credit card…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Tan looked at her disapprovingly: "In life, the most important thing is to increase income and reduce expenditure! Don't you want to pay back the credit card debt? You have to find a way to save money!"
Guo Dong finally understood.
She thought to herself: Everyone in this family is more tactful than the other in their words. Wouldn't it be enough to just say it directly
"Do you have a house in the city that you want to rent to me?"
"Let me make this clear first. I can't afford to rent an expensive place for now. I can't even afford to rent a storefront. I have to go somewhere remote, far from the school district hospital. It'd be better if it's smaller."
Song Tan: …
