Reborn! I Ditched the Run and Married the Heir-Chapter 328: You Have to See with Your Heart
"I’ve been standing here the whole time!" Yang Wangcheng said as he handed an orange to Yue Wenwen, "Doctor Yue, have an orange."
He said this while handing the orange to Yue Wenwen, then gave one to Zeng Yuanyuan as well, and went off with the oranges to find Xiao Li.
"Teacher Xiao, Professor Qin, have an orange."
Xiao Li took the orange and handed one to Qin Xiao, "Fruits are so heavy, why did you bring fruit along?"
Yang Wangcheng laughed, "I originally bought them to eat on the car, because I get car sick.
But I took some motion sickness medicine before getting on, and it worked so well, I forgot to eat them. Once we arrived, I couldn’t just waste them, so I brought them along.
I left them in the tent last night and forgot to eat them until I packed the tent this morning."
Zeng Yuanyuan watched Yang Wangcheng, who was chatting and joking with Doctor Xiao, and felt something was off.
How come Yang Wangcheng and Doctor Xiao are getting along so well? Didn’t I hear their relationship was strained, and that Doctor Xiao doesn’t like Yang Wangcheng, the medical student?
How is this so different from the rumors?
Seeing her daydreaming, Yue Wenwen waved a hand in front of her face, "What are you daydreaming about?"
Zeng Yuanyuan snapped back, "Doctor Yue, are you all on good terms with Yang Wangcheng?"
Yue Wenwen smiled, "Yes, we are! Were you going to mention that everyone heard the rumor that Doctor Xiao doesn’t like Yang Wangcheng, and gave him a bad evaluation on purpose during his rotation?"
"I... I didn’t say that..." Zeng Yuanyuan lowered her head.
Yue Wenwen chuckled, "The truth of the matter can only be discovered by yourself.
There’s a saying, ’Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing,’ right? So keep your eyes open from now on!"
Yue Wenwen said this while lightly patting Zeng Yuanyuan on the shoulder, and Zeng Yuanyuan nodded, still a bit confused.
After eating, Director Du asked everyone to start preparing for the free clinic, and soon they encountered another headache, there were no tables!
In past clinics, local organizers would arrange tables for them, but this was the first time there weren’t any. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Well! Since arriving here, they’ve experienced so many firsts.
Director Du could only let everyone check the medical supplies first, while he went to communicate with Village Chief Gu.
Qin Xiao happened to also need to see Village Chief Gu, so they both went together.
Upon reaching Village Chief Gu’s house, Village Chief Gu was eating. Director Du was about to discuss the tables and arranging villagers for the free clinic, but before he could speak, Qin Xiao spoke up first.
"Village Chief Gu, good morning! I have something to discuss with you. Before coming to our village, I learned about our conditions, knowing our situation isn’t great. So, I prepared some items for the villagers, which will be delivered shortly.
When the time comes, please don’t stop people from entering the village, and please organize the villagers to go to the drying yard to receive them.
Additionally, does the village have any tables we could borrow to set things up? We can’t just leave everything on the ground!"
Director Du understood after hearing Qin Xiao, and promptly closed his mouth.
Village Chief Gu, hearing about the items for Qin Xiao, thanked him with a smile, then took them to open the village’s ancestral hall, and called some young lads to help move tables to the drying yard.
Indeed, this village was economically backward and occasionally received donations from the outside world. So, upon hearing about the items, Village Chief Gu was actually happier than hearing about the free clinic.
Watching those lads move tables and chairs, Director Du curiously asked, "Village Chief Gu, it’s not the weekend today, how come these kids aren’t in school?"
"It’s cold now, so they don’t go!" Village Chief Gu said indifferently.
"Why don’t they go when it’s cold?" Director Du was perplexed.
"The kids here have to walk dozens of kilometers of mountain roads to get to the school at the mountain’s foot. They can go when the weather is good, but when it’s cold, snowing, or during the rainy season, the roads are tough, so they don’t go." Village Chief Gu explained.
"They have to walk such a long distance to attend school, what do they do at noon? Do they come back?"
Village Chief Gu chuckled, "How could they come back? All the time would be wasted going back and forth. It’s better not to go.
At noon, the kids don’t return; at most, they bring a couple of homemade flatbreads. Some don’t bring anything and wait until the evening to eat."
Director Du was taken aback, "How is this even possible? Wouldn’t the kids starve?"
Village Chief Gu said nonchalantly, "What’s the big deal? Generations have lived this way, and the villagers are still robust."
If there’s something doctors dread hearing from patients, it’s what Village Chief Gu just said. Many people believe ancestral habits are the best.
Some patients fall ill due to poor lifestyle habits, like eating oily or overly seasoned food, and when the doctor advises a lighter diet, they might retort, "What’s wrong with it? My family has always eaten like this, never had problems."
Doctors feel most helpless with such patients!
Poor eating habits are definitely not good, and the fact that the older generation had no problems is not entirely true.
After all, medical equipment wasn’t as advanced back then, and diseases like diabetes or hypertension couldn’t be diagnosed then.
If the older generation had minor ailments, they would endure them, but if they had severe illness, they could only wait for death.
Didn’t people from the past have a lower average life expectancy than today?
Moreover, leaving aside medical advancement, when patients say their family’s diet has always been like this, it’s not entirely true.
Universal sufficiency in food is only a few decades old in this country. Prior, many couldn’t even eat enough, let alone enjoy rich, flavorful food.
Yet many young people don’t understand and assume their family’s diet has always been this good because it was like that during their childhood.
Director Du, reminiscing about the diverse patients he had treated, sighed inwardly.
He sensed the upcoming days of the clinic wouldn’t be easy. If Village Chief Gu’s statement held any truth, even the village’s children, let alone the elders, were likely riddled with illnesses. Simply consider their erratic eating; even their gastrointestinal health would suffer.
Qin Xiao patted Director Du on the shoulder, "Let’s go!"
As fellow healthcare workers, Qin Xiao understood Director Du’s feelings.
As they were about to leave the ancestral hall, they noticed a woman hurriedly running over, "Chief, Chief, are you here?"
Village Chief Gu responded, "Here, what’s up, Aunt Hua?"
