Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1909 - 1703: Good News, Bad News

He Tuo became much quieter.

Even though he clearly carried a heavy burden, and even having Little Eleven arranged by Lao Song’s family to accompany him couldn’t cheer him up.

But to He Kuang’s family, now this truly feels like a vacation!

Not only are the young couple so happy they don’t want to return home, but the elderly at home are also enjoying the rare freedom, admiring the flowers and scenery, even establishing a good rapport with Wu Lan, borrowing more than a dozen silk scarves!

Every day there’s a variety of photos taken, not needing more professional cameras as their own phones and Douyin can post over a dozen videos a day.

If they weren’t really unpopular, they would surely have promoted Lao Song’s place quite well.

Even better is, the Peaceful Mountain Village is not just peaceful—over time, it might become a bit boring.

But every weekend, people from the city, men and women, young and old, drive over, the first thing they do is go to Aunt Zhang Hong’s house to reserve some tofu.

Then they buy vegetables from each family’s plot.

Some even come early in the morning to queue at Doctor Xiaoguo’s place... However, these people are fewer.

After all, everyone knows that there are more people on weekends, so generally locals prefer to visit during weekdays.

The liveliest scenes are local small company team-building events choosing this cost-effective rural area, watching young people chatting, performing, playing ball, and exercising...

When they occasionally join in, they feel quite invigorated!

But the world is always balanced; happiness is also balanced.

Those on vacation are happy, but those working are not.

For instance, Doctor Wu Guo, who just joined Doctor Xiaoguo’s clinic, along with nurses Xiaoxiao and Sun Wenwu.

Before applying: A small rural clinic—if it weren’t for wanting to get a job first, and the fact that the salary here is decent, I wouldn’t have considered it at all! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Just a temporary measure!

After joining: Why is it so busy?! Why is a rural clinic so busy?! Is it true that Doctor Guo used to handle everything alone here?

They came to work at 8 a.m. on their first day; Doctor Xiaoguo had already mentioned in the group chat they could have a quick bite since the canteen up the mountain opens at 9, leaving them with little time to eat.

Well, all bosses seem to be like this, squeezing out the meal times, which is something everyone has come to accept.

At 7:30, they all bought breakfast and took the shuttle bus to the village.

Without even entering the clinic, they saw a line of cars already parked outside, taking up half of the parking lot.

Entering the courtyard, more than a dozen people were already seated, with roughly 80% being male.

Because there weren’t enough chairs, everyone cobbled together seats from what was available, including household chairs with backs, small stools, simple folding stools, and even plastic stools typically used in village banquets.

In one corner, two people were each sitting on different ends of what hadn’t been seen in years—a long wooden bench.

Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but look again more intently.

The long wooden bench was something she hadn’t seen in years, vaguely remembering that if two people were sitting and one got up, the other end...

Just as she was pondering,

someone stood up from the bench, which tipped like a seesaw, nearly causing the person seated at the other end to fall!

Regaining composure, the person quickly smiled and apologized:

"Sorry, sorry, it’s been a long time since I used this, I forgot..."

The other person waved it off: "No problem, if you hadn’t gotten up, I would have forgotten too."

But aside from the amusement, why are there so many people here?!

Doctor Xiaoguo was equally troubled.

In the countryside, the morning air is so fresh, yet due to the many people lining up here, if one doesn’t want to work day and night, they won’t dare open the main door before 8 a.m.

Allowing them into the courtyard is purely out of concern for the hot weather; the courtyard has a canopy, providing some shade for the patients.

Now seeing the staff arriving and the time being about right, she hurriedly waved to open the door.

The patients surged forward in a rush, and Doctor Xiaoguo skillfully whipped out a piece of paper and stuck it on the doorframe:

"These are yesterday’s appointments, the times are posted, those here in the morning can wait a little longer."

After saying the hard words, she had to add some soft ones:

"Please bear with us, as I’m the only one here, it’s hard to keep up, so we’ll have to manage as best as we can. But don’t worry, I’ve hired staff today; in the future, with help, we’ll be much faster, and you won’t have to wait so long."

Alongside, people were snapping photos, messaging in several village team chat groups:

[Dear villagers, the clinic now has a professional doctor specially hired from the hospital. For common ailments like diabetes, hypertension, various fevers, and colds, and to pick up medications, please refer to this newly arrived male doctor.]
