Her Cultivation Diary

March is warming up, and Qingming is approaching.

At dinner, Liu Liu took vitamin calcium tablets among other new medications she got from Doctor Xiaoguo—small white bottles costing three to five yuan each, pretty effective!

He also offered her acupuncture and medicine to regain her health... but she was reluctant to completely wean her child, and besides, Doctor Xiaoguo seemed too young, so she was hesitant...

While picking up the medication, a tall, strong guy—a boy, really, though he looked grown up—came running into the clinic, looking dopey.

He cheerfully shouted, "Sister Doctor Guo!"

Then, familiarly poured out the medicine from a thermos and downed a whole bowl in one gulp!

His face twisted into a knot, and he complained pathetically, "It's so hard to swallow."

"Hard to drink or not, you have to take it," Doctor Xiaoguo said while organizing the medicine cabinet. "You guys were away for training for so many days, those portable bags of herbal soup aren't as effective as this one."

"Since you've returned, stick with it—your brother spent a lot of money, it'd be wasted if you don't keep it up!"

Chen Chi giggled foolishly and casually said, "I went with my brother to learn, to take exams... the teacher said I could do it."

"Sister Doctor Guo, I can earn money in the future, I'll pay by myself."

"Alright!" Doctor Xiaoguo didn't refuse.

"Then next month when you get your salary, come and give me the money."

In fact, she heard from Zhang Yanping that Chen Xi and Chen Chi, the two brothers, were getting training at another farm, thanks to Professor Song's connections. While Chen Xi was very diligent in his studies, that was to be expected.

What's remarkable is Chen Chi.

He was terrible in academic exams—which was normal. Nowadays, being able to calculate a few simple numbers and understand what's being said was already a significant improvement. Even the little reading he knew, he learned from Qiaoqiao, and it wasn't much.

But when it comes to simple bone setting, manipulating, birthing, and handling external injuries for animals… he could do it all!

Plus, he's tall and strong. While a bleating, struggling sheep might require some skill and strength from Chen Xi, Chen Chi can easily restrain it by clamping his elbow, perfectly suited and adept for the job.

During cattle birthing, with several people tying and holding the legs, tugging and pulling, he could not only help control the situation but also, in urgency, dive in with his hands and fumble around—

And because he has the heart of a child, he wouldn't get frustrated when he doesn't do well; he'd just feel sorry for Niuniu and become even more careful and patient.

So in the end, during the initial training, Chen Chi naturally scored zero on academic tests, but he nearly aced the practical ones.

If it weren't for his peculiar circumstances, being unable to leave his guardian, the farm opposite almost wanted to recruit him!

With this skill set, even if he couldn't get a certificate, just being an [Assistant] was perfect!

As a result, when bidding him farewell, the other party, recognizing his talent, was reluctant to let him go and urged him repeatedly to return in the second half of the year for deeper training.

And now, having finished their studies, the brothers' salaries have gone up again! That's why Chen Chi spoke so confidently.

Hearing this over dinner, Liu Liu showed visible envy in her eyes: "Such high salaries!"

Gastric Bypass Brother had self-awareness: "That requires a lot of strength, which I don't have."

Nian Xu had no particular feelings about salaries; 1,200 or 6,000 yuan all the same, as he couldn't really buy much anyway. But he was content and even advised:

"Sister Liu, take good care of your health first!"

"When your health recovers, you can earn high wages too."

"Look, today's transplanting corn seedlings and sowing melon and bean seeds, 100 yuan a day, so many people went to do it."

"If your health improves, you could do it too, right?"

"Exactly!" Self-taught Sister also persuaded her: "It's time to stop breastfeeding. Your health is poor as it is, breast milk has no nutrition either!"

"Pay more attention to restoring your health and get some treatment from Doctor Guo, that's what really matters."

Nian Xu agreed earnestly with this: "Doctor Guo's skills are good! When we overate at the New Year's pig feast, just a bit of acupuncture, and it was all fine!"

"She also makes Ai Tiao... I must buy one this year!"

Liu Liu was really tempted.

And it wasn't just Liu Liu; everyone around was tempted too—was Doctor Guo's medical skill really that good?

"Of course."

Nian Xu, the employee who's been there two days longer than the others, having visited once before and followed live broadcasts the longest, spending the most money... was particularly convincing at this moment.

"Don't just see Doctor Xiaoguo as a little over twenty, so young—in fact, she's apparently 31 this year!"

"How about that? Isn't she good at health management, isn't she good at staying youthful?"

"Moreover, don't underestimate someone just because she's in the countryside—last year she sold Health Pills, 199 each! I heard they sold out by winter, couldn't meet the demand."

Wow—

All the people present were instantly captivated.

Chinese people, reaching a certain age, tend to awaken to certain interests.

Seeing Chinese medicine, going for fortune-telling. Descendants of dragons love gold, descendants of Shennong want to farm. There's nothing wrong with that.

The only difference is the order in which people awaken.

Especially since you can't see medical skills directly, but Doctor Xiaoguo's youthful face is quite convincing!

Immediately, Self-taught Sister quickly made arrangements: "Hurry up and eat, let's go have a look after dining, okay?"

"Can acupuncture resist aging?"

"I feel a bit anemic and Qi deficient..."

"A mere face is just a passing bloom... but I want to be a shining bone! By the way, can you help with my cervical spondylosis?"

Gastric Bypass Brother, as a big guy on this side, was even more dedicated to wellness: "Why didn't you say sooner? I've got to manage my health for the long haul!"

Everyone was excitedly planning to go, and although Liu Liu hesitated, thinking back to when she didn't trust Doctor Guo, she blushed a bit but still bit her lip and followed.

Just as they stepped out, they saw villagers having finished eating, heading to the mountain to plant beans and melons, chatting loudly as they sauntered up with handy little tools...

Seems like earning 100 yuan is quite relaxed.

She really wanted to do it!

...

The gentle March breeze swept over the silent mountain, awakening the earth's veins.

From high up, new green branches could be seen sprawling everywhere. In comparison, the fruit trees at Song Tan's home bloomed a little earlier.

However, since they were planted in batches, there's a continuous transition between those that bloomed first and those just budding, requiring Lun Chuan to go up the mountain to check daily.

That genuine love for nature can only be appreciated by witnessing the stunning scenery firsthand.

But now...

He and Song Tan carried a bamboo basket, bypassing from behind the inn to arrive at Tea Mountain, which originally belonged to Old Man Li.

For nothing else than the lovely spring warmth—with tasty wild herbs and at the edge of Old Man Li's Tea Mountain, freshly sprouted wild herbs with delicate leaves under ten centimeters long, perfect for picking to eat.
