Chapter 444: 444.[(Seeking monthly votes)] _1 Chapter 444: 444.[(Seeking monthly votes)] _1 Guo Dong was awakened by a strange “thump thump thump” sound.

She opened her eyes in confusion and finally pinpointed the source of the sound–it was a bird stepping on the security window, pecking at the thick blue glass inside.

In the village, people liked to use colored glass for building their houses, after all, with an entire courtyard full of sunshine, there was absolutely no need for the transparency that comes with lighting–aunt Lianhua’s curtains were even those plastic printed roll-up blinds!

Guo Dong had forgotten yesterday to roll that curtain only halfway up.

Luckily, the forest was right behind her, and underneath was a layer of fallen leaves of unknown depth. Any slight movement would make a big noise, so she wasn’t worried about anyone peeking into the house.

But this bird, with its sharp beak tapping on the glass thump thump thump, she didn’t know what it was about, but its rhythm was so unique it woke her up…

Wait a second!

Behind the blue glass were the mountains, but why did there seem to be sunlight already?

Guo Dong checked her phone–one saw it was already 9:30?!!

There were also several messages and calls from Song Tan, a recent addition to her contacts.

[Time to eat!]

[Are you still asleep?]

[We’re having such a delicious rice porridge and sour cowpea egg fried rice this morning!]

[Missed call]

[Alright, I saved some food for you, remember to eat when you wake up.]

A wave of warmth first surged in Guo Dong’s heart, and then she remembered–eh? This was the meal I had paid 200 yuan for!

Warmth my foot!

Then she realized–she had slept too well, hadn’t she!

Before, at her family’s home, due to various reasons, she would be anxious and irritable, sleeping no more than six hours at best. Now, last night after dinner and washing up at nine, there wasn’t much entertainment in the village…

She only remembered lying in bed with her mobile phone, the fan blowing whoosh whoosh, seemingly only having watched two videos before losing all memory.

Guo Dong thought about it more and felt that it was because she had left that oppressive home and finally relaxed completely.

But it couldn’t be denied that after a full sleep, she was feeling fresh and invigorated, feeling that she was walking much straighter.

Thinking about the taste of last night’s feast, she now picked up the toiletries by the door, and even her toothbrushing seemed urgent.

But…

The sun at 9:30 was already quite blinding.

…

The sun after 9:00 was not only blinding but also quite ironic.

When Guo Dong arrived at Song Tan’s house, the time had already reached 10:00.

Wu Lan had just returned home with a basket of tea leaves along with Grandma Wang Lifen. The two were removing their straw hats and fanning themselves, all the while looking at her with smiles:

“Did Doctor Guo sleep well?”

Despite being well-traveled, Guo Dong felt her face flush in that moment, “I might have been too tired, I slept really deeply last night.”

“Too tired?”

After Song Tan had made it clear yesterday that she wanted her to stay in the village, Wu Lan had been tirelessly showing off the virtues of the village: “This is clearly because our countryside’s soil and air are nurturing! Day by day, you don’t know how wonderfully we sleep! Look at me, don’t I also seem quite young?”

Guo Dong couldn’t help but laugh.

But then, she looked at Wu Lan seriously and nodded respectfully: “Indeed, auntie, your spirit does seem quite different.”

When Song Tan had just returned, her mother looked just like she did in her memories, short and somewhat plump, with bits of white in her hair.

Her skin, though naturally soft, carried the marks of years and the sallow hue of sun damage, with deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

When she smiled, the corners of her eyes and brows were indescribably weary but peaceful.

But now, after being nourished for just half a year, she was no longer that simple woman!

At this moment, Wu Lan’s hair was jet black and shiny, and although her skin still had a yellowish tint, it was considered fair among the villagers.

The wrinkles on her face may not have lessened, but the relaxed posture and healthy color of her face were undeniably indicative of her current wellbeing.

Wu Lan saw herself every day and hardly noticed any changes. But those who hadn’t seen her in a long while would always offer such compliments.

Now, she unabashedly used it as a petty trick to lure Doctor Guo.

After all, yesterday had only been a matter of testing the waters, speculating in secret.

But ever since Guo Dong, tipsy from having two large bowls of freshly made rice wine egg drop soup at dinner, shared her past medical experiences, her teacher, and the various certifications she possessed…

Wu Lan boasted triumphantly about it, while Yanping searched up the information on her phone right there and then, finding to her surprise that all were quite famous!

Boy, they had stumbled upon a treasure!

No wonder everyone’s intent to have her stay had become so transparent.

Guo Dong had certainly noticed this change of heart, but while she insisted she hadn’t considered it before, it was hard to say she wasn’t swayed after last night.

She picked up the bowl of porridge that had long since gone cold and took a big gulp in the sweltering heat of early July, only to be once again conquered by the sweet fragrance of the rice.

Then she hesitantly asked, “If I decided to stay in the village, would you provide meals like this?”

“We can’t provide that.”

Song Tan had just entered the yard and immediately refused upon hearing this: “This is our family’s specialty dish. Even if you pay for meals, we don’t include this.”

Guo Dong: … Okay, then.

She sighed again, feeling a bit disheartened.

Before eating, all she remembered was the meal cost of two hundred yuan.

After eating, she truly wished she could spend two hundred a day–ah, but not now, she was broke.

At that moment, Qiaoqiao also returned with a basket, and upon seeing her, she sweetly smiled:

“Doctor Sister, sister said you might sleep in, and it would be too late to pick the Golden Sakura, so I picked them for you!”

She handed over the basket: “There are so many thorns! Even wearing thick gloves, I still got pricked several times.”

He stretched out his fair hand, showing several visible red dots, the innocent and pure gaze of the child right in front of her.

Guo Dong: …

She felt a bit embarrassed and also a bit sorry: “Qiaoqiao, you’ve worked hard, I didn’t realize I was such a deep sleeper.”

“It’s fine.” Qiaoqiao candidly said: “I’ve been really busy lately and haven’t had time to play with Daxiong. I just took Daxiong to work at the Golden Sakura spot early this morning.”

“Besides, it didn’t take much effort to pick a pound.”

He had been playing, eating, and accompanying Daxiong, which is why it took him until now.

“Daxiong is?”

Guo Dong was curious.

“Do you want to see?” Qiaoqiao blinked: “It’s off work now, I’ll take you up the hill to see. It’s a really fat, fat honeybee.”

Guo Dong: …

She immediately took a step back, saying sincerely: “I was just casually asking, not really interested.”

“Okay then.”

Qiaoqiao was also considerate: “Do you want to see the honeybees? There’s a lot of them. And you can buy honey.”

Reminded of the taste of the food she had eaten, Guo Dong’s eyes lit up:

“Sure!”

Using honey to make pills or mix with medicine was particularly good – indispensable!

Of course, she didn’t sell the finished medicine to clients; instead, she would diagnose on the spot and then prepare the Chinese medicine based on individual needs.

It was just that some medicines really weren’t suited for brewing, and some people disliked the bitterness, so often, granules were used, or honey was utilized to make honey pills.
