Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

The infant Xiao Chen did not reach out his hand directly, but cast his eyes on his great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandfather and father. Seeing that the elders in the family all nodded, he took the red envelope from Song Lan, gave her another kiss, and said in a baby voice: "Thank you, auntie!" His eyes fell on Qin Yanzheng: "Thank you, Uncle Qin!"

Qin Yanzheng touched the top of the child's head and said with a smile: "You're welcome. Uncle wishes you to grow healthily and be safe every year!"

"Thank you Uncle Qin, Chenchen received it!"

Baby Xiao Chen was very happy. He liked this uncle who looked as handsome as his father.

After putting down the things they brought to the Xiao family, Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng were taken by Xiao Yu to the thatched cottage where the Shen family lived. As soon as they entered the house, they greeted the Shen family and then introduced Qin Yanzheng to them.

New Year greetings are naturally also sent.

Qin Yanzheng and Mr. Shen got along well with each other. While Qin Yanzheng and Xiao Yu were chatting with the old people, Song Lan heated up the several hard dishes he brought with him in the pot one after another, and steamed the white flour buns he brought with him in the pot until they were soft, so he didn't stay any longer.

After leaving the thatched hut where Mr. Shen and his family lived, Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng returned to the Xiao family and chatted for about ten minutes. Then they stood up to say goodbye and were sent out by Xiao Yu. They returned to the village along the same route.

"I'll go heat up these dishes and steam the buns until they're soft. That'll be our lunch today. Take a look..."

Old Mrs. Luo asked Old Man Xiao, Xiao's father, and Xiao Yu.

"They are all hard dishes. Save the braised spareribs for dinner, heat up the braised pork and preserved vegetable pork, heat up some steamed buns, and cook a pot of sweet potato porridge."

Mr. Xiao gave his opinion.

"Mom, just do as Dad says. You take a rest. I'll go cook some porridge, hot dishes and steamed buns."

As soon as Xiao's father's voice fell, Xiao Yuyin said: "Let me do it. Dad, you and grandpa and grandma can take a rest." Their stove was in the house. There was no need for wind. The porridge could be cooked quickly by burning firewood picked up from the mountain.

One stove, first cook porridge, then heat up the dishes and steamed buns.

Mrs. Luo: "It's good as long as the milk comes. Just take good care of Chenchen."

Without waiting for Xiao Yu to respond, Old Man Xiao said, "You should just sit down and let Xiao Yu do the work."

"Are you complaining that I'm slow?"

Mrs. Luo rolled her eyes at Mr. Xiao.

"I don't want you to be tired. You know that your health is not very good in winter..."

Before Mr. Xiao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Luo: "Stop it, ever since I took the tonic pills that Lan Lan gave me, I haven't had any problems since the beginning of winter last year."

"Then you have to take care of yourself."

Mr. Xiao replied.

"I am content to live to this age."

What good would it be to live a few more years?

Living in the countryside is unlike her previous life in Beijing, where daily life is comfortable and pleasant. Old Mrs. Luo feels that if she still lives in the countryside for the next ten or eight years, wouldn't it be miserable?

It’s not that she can’t endure hardship, it’s that she doesn’t want to be a burden to her family.

Even though she took nourishing pills and her body didn't get in trouble this winter, it was a fact that she couldn't do heavy work.

When the ice thaws, the villagers will have to go back to work. By then, will she have to continue staying at home, eating white meals, and watching her husband and children and grandchildren go out early and come back late?

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Old Master Xiao's face darkened: "Didn't Lanlan say that we can leave here in three or two years at most?"

"Mom, I believe Lanlan wouldn't say anything nonsense, or just to comfort us. And you should remember that Lanlan's father-in-law was picked up from the forest farm by his former unit before winter. From this, we can see that things in our family will definitely turn around!"

Father Xiao spoke with a firm tone. He truly believed what Song Lan said and hoped that their family would take care of themselves and wait until the day they could return to Beijing.

"Grandma, when I sent Song Lan and her husband off, Song Lan mentioned to me that the country needs talents for development, and that it won't be long before universities resume normal enrollment. I think this is a message, a message that our country is going to change!"

This is a message of change for the better!

Xiao Yu was certain that Song Lan had returned to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, and he had undoubtedly heard the news from relevant channels.

Tell him that he probably just needs to persevere and he will be able to return to his original job soon.

Thinking that the original owner of this body had taught in a university, and recalling that he had once pursued a career in politics, Xiao Yu felt that he needed to think carefully about how to proceed when he returned to Beijing in the future.

Mrs. Luo, Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Xiao were all stunned for a moment. Then, Mrs. Luo came to her senses and said, "The country needs talents, and universities have resumed enrollment. Xiao Yu... will most likely be taken back to Beijing. He used to be a university teacher..."

"Ah."

Mr. Xiao nodded.

Father Xiao also nodded.

The infant Xiao Chen sat on a small stool with his cheek in his hand, listening quietly to the elders talking. He looked very well behaved and cute.

At the same time, Mr. Shen and his friends were in the room.

"I'm afraid we old guys will never be able to repay Lanlan in this lifetime!"

Old Li put a piece of braised pork into his mouth, took a bite of the hot and soft white flour bun, chewed it and swallowed it, then casually said something to the other old friends.

"If I can't repay it in this life, I'll continue to repay it in the next life if I'm lucky enough to meet you."

"That's right. Since we owe you a favor, we'll repay Lanlan when we have the chance."

The other two old men spoke one after another.

At this time, Mr. Shen said, "I'm afraid Lanlan has never thought about asking us old guys for anything in return. In my opinion, it would be better for us to teach our children what we have learned in our life and take care of Lanlan when we can leave here and return to the city in the future."

"Lanlan is a doctor now, and she will pursue a career in medicine in the future. It looks like you should be happy!"

Mr. Li glanced at Mr. Shen and snorted softly.

"Haven't you noticed? Lanlan's talent in medicine is extraordinary. She understood almost all the medical knowledge I taught her right away. And Lanlan is not good at just one subject. She is a generalist in medicine. I've been thinking more than once recently that it won't be long before I have nothing to teach this little girl!"

After a pause, Elder Shen continued, "If conditions permit, I would like to teach Lanlan clinical surgical skills. After all, anatomy is not something that can be learned in detail by just talking about it. It requires on-site teaching by a cadaver teacher, and then the students themselves practice it, combined with specific clinical practice, in order to grow into a qualified doctor."

Mr. Li: "Lanlan is already a qualified doctor."

"I'm talking about Western medicine."

Mr. Shen explained, but he quickly added: "Lanlan's hands are very skillful. I believe that if she is given the opportunity to observe how to operate the knife on the spot, she will be able to master the skills involved in a short time."

"I remember Lanlan once said that she would use rabbits at home to practice dissection."
