In an instant, the unique sweet fragrance of honey spread, making Guo Dong's throat roll involuntarily.
The slightly orange honey flowed down the spoon in strands, like nectar containing the essence of heaven and earth.
She stared at the spoon of honey in Qiao Qiao's hand, and finally coughed dryly and sat up straight:
"I won't believe it unless you ask me to taste it."
…
After a while.
When Wu Lan came into the living room to pour a glass of water, she saw Guo Dong sitting upright on the sofa, staring at the half-empty bottle of honey on the table.
And Qiao Qiao was blinking, looking at her very seriously.
"What's wrong?" Wu Lan was a little curious.
But Guo Dong suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth: "Isn't it just 1,000 yuan a bottle? I'll buy it!"
Guo Dong's words were so powerful that it seemed as if the 1,000 yuan was a knife digging into her flesh.
But just as she finished her words, Wu Lan laughed: "What are you buying? No need to buy!"
She was excited, and then looked over expectantly—
"We don't have honey at home." Wulan said calmly.
Guo Dong: ... How could this be? !
"Nothing at all?"
She looked at the half bottle of honey, and Wulan also looked away, then quickly shook her head: "No, no, this is for our family to eat, there is only this half bottle, if it is really gone - how about you wait a little longer?"
"It will definitely be available in two days, but if you really want it, you have to pay a deposit first. I have several people waiting here."
Good job!
Guo Dong really believed that someone was waiting for this. Without saying anything, he immediately took out his mobile phone and said, "Auntie, I'll transfer the money to you right away!"
While transferring the money, Wu Lan still refused to give up: "Doctor Guo, don't you really consider staying in our village?"
"Look, if you become the doctor in our village, you can live in Lao Li's clinic as you like. I can slowly equip you with furniture and even give you a quilt."
By the way, we can also take care of the old couple's health - it's not that we don't want to pay for the medicine, we just pay more attention to it, it's not a loss.
Wu Lan's abacus was clacking.
As for the quilts, they were all cotton quilts that my family spent a huge amount of money to make when I got married. Over the years, they have been modified and remade, and only now that we have moved to a new home have they been worn out.
But I haven’t used them all up. Many of them were bought by my children. I can’t cover them all. I have to play them again from time to time... It’s very time-consuming and costly.
Guo Dong: …
It was with great difficulty that she refused again: "No. I'm going to the city."
Wu Lan sighed, and seeing that he failed to persuade the man, he had to go out again.
Secretary Zhu listened at the door for a while, then came in with a smile on his face, and suddenly asked casually, "By the way, Doctor Guo, have you decided which neighborhood to rent in?"
"It's best to find a remote place with few neighbors. After all, you are making Chinese medicine. The noise is loud and the smell is unpleasant."
"If a neighbor complains, even though it won't cause any trouble for you, it's still unavoidable to be upset when encountering such a situation..."
After all, other people only need to boil the medicine once a day, but she must smell the smell of Chinese medicine all day long.
Guo Dong's heart skipped a beat.
really!
She first opened a clinic in a village in the city. Not only did she have no money, but also because of the environment, she could make medicine however she wanted in the clinic and no one would complain.
But once you move to a new residence, who can stand the smell of Chinese medicine in their home every day
The smell is so strong that even with a range hood, it is impossible to completely stop it. Moreover, a range hood cannot be turned on 24 hours a day.
There is also the powdering of Chinese medicine - the noise of the wall-breaking machine nowadays is well known to those who understand. It takes half an hour or an hour for others to make soy milk, but she is rolling meatballs on such a large scale...
Guo Dong became nervous.
At this time, Secretary Xiao Zhu sighed again:
"You have to choose carefully! As a single girl living in such a remote place, you may run into trouble."
Although the public security is not that bad nowadays, extreme things always happen.
Just think about this situation...
Guo Dong's scalp was numb.
She is not a weak person, but that is different from being able to fight.
"Also," Secretary Xiao Zhu said with a worried look on his face, "You live in a remote place. Do you cook all three meals a day by yourself? The food will taste bad if it smells like medicine."
It's not just not tasty!
At this moment, Guo Dong’s hair was about to stand up!
Her cooking skills are mediocre at best, just edible.
But if you boil the Chinese medicine and cook at the same time, all three meals will be soaked in the smell of medicine. Not to mention whether it will affect your appetite - the key is that the medicinal fumigation also has a certain therapeutic effect!
And that's not directed at your own body!
At this moment, even though she had been through many battles, she was still a little numb.
"Then... Secretary Zhu, do you have any recommended communities?"
Secretary Zhu smiled harmoniously: "Oh, I was transferred from another place, so how can I know which community in the city is suitable? I think our vacant clinic is good."
Doctor Li moved his things out a few days ago, and now there is only an empty house and others guarding it - after all, there are still two patients who need intravenous drips, and he can only leave after they are finished. He is anxious all day long.
Secretary Zhu continued to talk: "… We can apply for equipment for cutting and beating herbs from the village office for a yard as big as the clinic. We also have beds. Although Lao Li has moved all the furniture away, we can still use the beds first. We don't even need to buy extra beds."
"I don't say there's everything in the kitchen, but you can buy a small pot and pick some vegetables from the field without spending any money..."
"Besides, our village is vast and sparsely populated. No one would say anything if you used a powder grinder all day long, let alone boiled medicine all day long. This house doesn't even cost money. As long as you take on the identity of our village doctor, the government will give you money every month!"
"Oh my God!" She said with an exaggerated look of regret: "Why didn't I study medicine in the first place?!"
Guo Dong: … Not really.
But... what to do
Her heart was already beginning to waver wildly.
Could it be that Secretary Zhu had been undercover in a pyramid scheme company? How come every word he said hit home with her? Isn't this too fitting
It’s as if this position was tailor-made for me!
No! Guo Dong thought: I need to stay calm!
She escaped from one village, not to settle down in another!
Only an indifferent city can be more tolerant to single women!
Can…
She silently opened her phone and checked her balance:... (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ) What should I do? It seems that I really don’t have much money...
Guo Dong sat there anxiously, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Secretary Xiao Zhu looked at the bright sun outside, put on his straw hat skillfully, and had another idea:
"Qiao Qiao, do you have iced Tremella soup today? Bring me a bowl."
