Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Chapter 116 Encountering People Again on the Mountain

While Feng Qingqing and Hu Fangming were having lunch, Grandpa Ge's family was also setting out their lunch on the table.

Grandpa Ge took the seat of honor first, and after his daughter-in-law had set out the food and dishes, he instructed her:

"Eldest daughter, take out one of those two bottles of sauce that Dr. Feng brought over this morning and try it."

Sister-in-law Ge was taken aback when she heard her father-in-law mention this. She didn't expect her husband to still remember it. She had originally planned to eat it for dinner, since he had already made a stew of meat and potatoes at noon. It was fragrant and delicious.

Her family's standard of living was among the best in Lanshan Brigade. Not to mention snacks and other delicacies, they would buy pork every few days to cook for the old man. So when Feng Qingqing brought her two bottles of sauce, she just thought the girl was sensible and polite, and didn't think anything else of it.

But Grandpa Ge was different. He was an old man who had seen it all. He knew that since the little girl could make such an effective ointment at such a young age, and the medicinal materials were only from the nearby mountains and not particularly precious, then this girl was definitely not simple. She had real skills and was not just a show-off. Even if she made just an ordinary sauce, he had been looking forward to it for a long time. Sure enough, as soon as dinner was served, he asked his daughter-in-law to get the bottle of minced meat sauce that he had been longing for.

"Go get that bottle of minced meat flavor."

Sister-in-law Ge was truly puzzled. Judging from the old man's demeanor and the smell of minced meat, he had clearly studied the two bottles of sauce carefully. She was still a bit confused, but she obediently took out the bottle of minced meat sauce and placed it in front of the old man.

The other people at the table, including Ge Wentang and his wife's children, were not very interested when they saw that it was just a bottle of sauce. After all, there was stewed pork with potatoes on the table. Although the children were not particularly fond of meat, they still thought that meat was tastier than sauce.

Grandpa Ge first waved for the others to eat, while he opened the jar of minced meat sauce. As soon as he opened it, a rich aroma wafted out. Grandpa Ge's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked out a small amount with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After smacking his lips, he immediately closed the lid and pulled it closer to himself.

Ge Wentang and his wife had been watching the old man closely. Seeing this, they knew the minced meat sauce must be exceptionally delicious. So, the eldest son of Ge also shamelessly said:

"Dad, does that sauce taste good? Why don't you let your son try some? I just want a little bit, just a tiny bit, to taste it."

He gestured with his hand, but even for this small request, Grandpa Ge shook his head vigorously, clearly indicating that there was no room for negotiation and that it was not worth even thinking about.

The Ge couple exchanged a glance, both thinking to themselves that it was just a bottle of sauce. If the old man liked it, the Ge couple would only ask for a little. There was no real expectation of anything more.

But looking at the old man's expression, well, they can forget about getting a turn at all.

The old man here was overjoyed. This minced meat sauce was so fragrant and delicious. Moreover, since using Feng Qingqing's two kinds of medicine, not only had his ailments improved a lot, but his energy was also different from before. He felt it most deeply himself. Knowing that what this young doctor Feng produced, he inexplicably felt that it was something good and that he had to keep it to himself and not give it to anyone.

If Feng Qingqing were here to find out, she might say, "As expected of an old lady, she is truly wise and insightful with age."

Although Grandpa Ge wouldn't let his son and daughter-in-law taste the sauce, the couple could tell that the old man was visibly in a much better mood. Seeing this, the couple was also very happy, and at the same time, they were even more grateful to Feng Qingqing, feeling that this young doctor Feng was a benefactor to their family.

Since seeing her, not only has the old man's pain improved a lot, but his sleep, energy, and complexion have also improved significantly.

Ge Wentang pondered how to repay Feng Qingqing, after all, this was a big deal and could not be settled with just a little food.

While the Ge family was still eating, Feng Qingqing had already gone out with her basket on her back.

She had to go up the mountain to collect some herbs in the afternoon. She counted and found that she needed to make several batches of ointment and other medicines. The people waiting for treatment were all looking on expectantly. There was no other way but for Feng Qingqing to work hard and make them as soon as possible.

Feng Qingqing walked leisurely up the mountain path. In the distance, she saw someone walking towards her. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Gao Zhilan. Remembering the huge pile of firewood at home, Feng Qingqing immediately went up to greet her.

"Sister-in-law Gao, are you busy?"

Gao Zhilan saw someone greeting her, looked up and saw it was Dr. Feng, so she quickly put on a smile and replied:

"Yes, I went up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and fruits. Dr. Feng, it's still early. Why didn't you rest at home a little longer? I heard your foot was uncomfortable before. You have to be careful. If it's anything serious, you have to wait until it's completely healed."

She rambled on and on, clearly showing her genuine affection for Feng Qingqing, who in turn smiled sincerely and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Sister-in-law Gao. My foot is all better now. As long as I don't run fast, I'll be fine."

He paused, then spoke as if somewhat hesitant:

"Sister-in-law, we already have enough firewood. The yard is overflowing. You can't send any more starting tomorrow."

She knew that Sister-in-law Gao and her husband were honest people, so after thinking for a moment, she continued:

"That's enough. I'll talk to you again if I need to. Besides, it's getting cold soon, so you should all make some preparations."

Seeing Feng Qingqing's words, Gao Zhilan knew that her family really didn't need it recently, so she nodded hesitantly.

The two exchanged a few more words before waving goodbye.

After saying goodbye to Gao Zhilan, Feng Qingqing went to the places she had visited before.

They walked and collected as they went, and soon they had gathered quite a lot. Considering her foot injury, although she was not tired or in pain, Feng Qingqing still found a large rock to sit down and rest for a while to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

Just as Feng Qingqing finished resting and was about to get up, she heard a rustling sound coming from afar. Feng Qingqing was startled. How could she have encountered someone here again?

Feng Qingqing stopped her movement of getting up, and slowly continued to sit down while listening to the sounds coming from her:

"You know, Jiang Yun is really unlucky. He just got beaten up like that and his face is ruined."

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Qingqing wanted to roll her eyes. It was truly a case of enemies meeting again. It turned out to be Lü Yulan outside. Judging from her voice, she seemed to have recovered. She was truly resilient, recovering to full strength so quickly.

But Feng Qingqing sensed it was the sound of two people's footsteps, and wondered who the other person was.

"Yeah, that's pretty unlucky."

Feng Qingqing recognized the familiar voice and was surprised to find it was him.
