To be honest, Guo Dong's mood is very complicated when talking about the mess at home.
But all the complexity turned into a helpless smile after facing Wulan Qiqi Aiai's hint -
"Auntie, you are overthinking. I still look a lot like my parents."
Besides, based on her experience growing up in the village, even if her parents really couldn't give birth and needed to raise a child, they would definitely not be able to raise a girl for a long time.
"Oh...oh..."
Wulan responded nonchalantly, but then her expression became confused: "Then if it's her biological child, why can't she think about it so hard?"
Urging marriage is quite normal in the eyes of people of their generation. They should get married and have children when their children are older.
But when buying a pig, you still have to look at the pen, and when you want to choose a man for your daughter, don’t you have to choose from thousands of people? Dr. Guo’s mother is looking for everyone!
Listen to what Xiao Guo said, he is a gambler and an alcoholic... Just like this, isn't it obvious that his daughter will suffer!
However, with thousands of thoughts running through his mind, Wulan felt more confident about persuading her to stay in the village.
Otherwise, why would this young girl with such good conditions be so reluctant to take root in this strange and remote place?
But Guo Dong thought to himself: If you talk about things when you are sad, it will be much better.
No, her mood relaxed a lot now, and she turned to comfort Ulan:
"It's okay, auntie. I couldn't think about it at first. It was very painful. Later I realized that she was scolding me for being selfish. It was actually because of her extreme behavior, which happened to be the real selfish self."
This is how she got along with Ulan, otherwise she would never have been able to say this.
"If they don't get along, they don't get along. Some people are born with parents whose fate is not enough."
Listen, listen!
Is this what a young girl should say?
Ulan felt even more pity for him.
"If you ask me, it must be that the atmosphere in your village is not good. A matchmaker dares to come to someone like this and say - Let our village go, until they don't beat her out with a big broom!"
Guo Dong gasped: "Really? Is your village so nice?"
Ulan also told the truth: "My children weren't that good earlier. You don't know, when I became a daughter-in-law, for some reason, I gave birth to several girls in a row - what should I do? My own children are my own."
I feel bad."
"Besides, the village is poor, so there's nothing to compare it to. Children can go to school for free, so it's just like a certificate!"
Speaking of this, Wulan's face was full of pride: Her Tantan came back with a certificate every semester.
"When the children get older, your family will have to send girls to college, and my family will have to work hard to send girls to other places - back and forth, competing with each other, won't this affect both of us?"
Guo Dong was stunned.
Then he sighed sadly, with a hint of yearning in his eyes:
"It's great. It's a competition for university, not a wedding gift."
"cough."
Ulan's expression was even weirder:
"Then...the main reason is that the children are not up to par, and they have not been able to get into college..."
She smiled coquettishly: "You also know that the education level in our village is just like this."
For example, Tantan, when she was in junior high school, the students in the town could read short English passages, but she had not learned ABC yet.
She went to a cram school during the holidays, and she came back from the holidays to pick tea and carry firewood...
Just, to be honest, the child is not a genius, nor is he the kind of person who has a beam on his head and a cone on his butt... So in the whole village, not to mention how outstanding the academic qualifications are, there are not many serious ones who have been admitted to university.
Ah this.
This is quite real.
Guo Dong didn't know what to say.
She originally wanted to say that it would be a good thing to be able to go out. But all the words of consolation with great intentions gradually lost their souls in Wulan's various replies that were out of common sense...
In the end she could only laugh dryly:
"Auntie, it's really interesting here."
Ulan became excited and slapped his thigh:
"That's right! I told you that our village is so good, but it's a pity that Dr. Guo, if you have the ability now, you must go to a big city to work hard. If there is a chance, I really want to keep you in the village - if nothing else, there is a doctor
, how convenient!”
"My old man and my old lady don't have to worry about taking care of themselves."
"That's not worth anything."
Guo Dong laughed: "Auntie, if you can trust me, I can check their pulse later and prescribe a prescription. You can just go to the pharmacy to get the medicine."
"But Chinese medicine is a long-term process, so you can't be impatient."
She was quite touched - because she was a woman and so young, it took 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 would trust me so much!
Ulan:……
She came to her senses - my dear, the topic has gone too far.
So he quickly tried to pull him back: "Hey, why doesn't the county arrange a doctor like you for our village? The doctor in our village is going to live in the town soon. From now on, there will be no doctor for dozens of elderly households in the village.
.”
She sighed sadly, her expression infinitely distant, full of worries about the future of the mountain village.
Guo Dong:……
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt as if the aunt in front of her meant something when she spoke, but what did it mean?
Does Jinyingzi still want to increase the price?
No. The price of 200 is already scary enough. If it goes up any higher, there is really no way to survive.
Or...are you afraid that she won't buy it, and want to give you a step up first to give yourself room to bargain?
She was a little undecided for a moment.
Song Tan listened to the side and couldn't help but sigh silently - that is to say, communication among contemporary young people still needs young people!
So he walked over and asked directly: "Dr. Guo, have you found a place to live?"
"No ah!"
Guo Dong answered subconsciously.
Then he calmed down and said, "I plan to rent a house in the city tomorrow. The rent here should be about the same as ours."
Anyway, both sides are 18th-tier small towns, and their consumption levels are similar.
"Oh, you really don't know how to live."
Song Tan also held a piece of watermelon and ate it slowly: "Didn't you come out from home? Now that you have no income, you still have to spend money to buy medicinal materials - the money has been used to rent a house. What should I do if it is inconvenient to buy the goods myself?
?”
She suddenly thought so thoughtfully that Guo Dong felt a little uncomfortable. He could only answer tentatively:
"I can usually use my credit card to spend money..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Tan looked at her disapprovingly: "The most important thing in life is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure! Don't you want to pay back the credit card money? You have to find ways to save money!"
Guo Dong finally understood.
She thought to herself: Each member of the family speaks more tactfully than the other, can't it be enough to just say no?
"Do you have a house in the city that you want to rent to me?"
"Let's talk about it first. I can't afford to rent an expensive one for the time being - I can't even rent a front-end house. It needs to be a little remote, far away from the school district hospital. It's better to be smaller."
