Chapter 539 Return to the Village

Han Li said goodbye to Hou Xiujuan and her family at the platform. After he took his internal documents and sat in the dining car, he was interested in looking at what was in the travel bag.

After opening it, he found Lao Maosheng's candy, elm dried tofu, red stone millet, and several enamel products that he had not bought in the mall because he felt they were not practical, such as vegetable plates, cups and saucers, gold wire bowls, tea trays, etc.

But why did they give him these beautiful but not very practical things? Han Li then thought of the imitation porcelain cups and a soup pot that Niu Dahai saw when he brought them back, and he understood. They probably thought that he was reluctant to buy or did not have enough tickets.

After Han Li got off the train in Bingcheng this time, he did not go back to Shanghe Village directly. Instead, he found a guesthouse to stay, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then called Fu Weihong, his pen pal at the Bingcheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

Last time, she worked hard for a long time to help him find medicinal materials back and forth. This time, Han Li came to Bingcheng and had to thank her.

Although Fu Weihong has a face similar to that of a demon, Han Li and her are now just pen pals and stamp collectors.

However, this time, Han Li took out an enamel imitation porcelain cup and a cup and saucer from the harvest in Chuncheng as a gift to thank her.

Later, the two of them talked about stamp collecting while eating, and they just brushed aside other issues.

After dinner, due to time constraints, there was no car, so Fu Weihong rode a bicycle to take Han Li to the guesthouse.

In the evening, Han Li went to the black market and exchanged the most gold in his hand for some money and tickets. These were all reserved for the sales outlets this year, as well as Han Li's family's expenses for returning to the city. The most important thing was to give some help to those who had physical contact, because he couldn't always give them things like vanishing cream and Harry oil.

Early the next morning, Han Li set out on his journey back to Shanghe Village.

However, after Han Li returned to the county, he first went to Director Niu's house to tell him about the situation this time and that Niu Dahai and his wife would be back a few days later.

However, Niu Dahai should have called Director Niu. At this moment, he was very enthusiastic about Han Li, who could make him proud.

So when Han Li came out, he had another cloth bag in his hand, which was full of Hericium erinaceus.

Han Li then went to Aunt Liu's place and gave Aunt Liu two cups he bought from Chuncheng. The jewelry such as head flowers were given to Ding Yulan.

Han Li listened to Aunt Liu's nagging. After coming out, he took back his tanned leather and wrote a letter to his mother at the post office saying that he might bring two companions home this year. He simply described the situation of He Mi and Qi Zhaodi. After doing all this, he really got on the carriage back to Shanghe Village.

At this time, the autumn harvest in Shanghe Village had completely ended, but it was still a busy scene.

Picking mountain products, finding field mouse holes, burning charcoal, and preparing firewood for wintering, whether adults or children, villagers or educated youth, they were all busy.

Especially the group of children from Shanghe Village, who swept through the nearby villages last year under the leadership of Han Li. This year, their first target is the fields of other villages, leaving the fields of their own village for last.

Sister Yun and her sister have been collecting mountain products and medicinal materials handed over by the villagers these two days, and exchanging some charcoal and firewood with everyone.

In addition to preparing mountain products every day, Qi Zhaodi and Hou Yuhua also have to bring back as many tender branches as possible.

In addition to feeding the flying dragon at home, He Mi also has to dry all the tender branches and insects and put them away, waiting for Han Li to come back and let him mix them. The rest of the time is spent processing and making clothes for Han Li's family.

Zhang Yaozu followed the villagers in the last hunt before returning home this year. He hoped to catch another fox before returning home, so that he could take it home just enough to share.

Hao Hongmin, Yang Xiuying, Zhang Shulan, Meng Zaihong and others went into the mountains to pick up mountain products. They could take some of these mountain products home, and the rest could be kept for next year's consumption, or sent to the sales outlets for money. In short, they were all preparing to go home.

There were also educated youth who took the initiative not to go home this year, such as Zhang Xiangjun and his wife, as well as Wu Lili, Qi Ruying and Yuan Hongying.

Because Yin Lanfen could not go back this year, Zhang Xiangjun had to stay here to celebrate the New Year with his wife, and they also raised pigs this year, and they would slaughter and divide the meat before the New Year. In this case, he could not go back.

Wu Lili was unwilling to go home because of the condition on her face, and now she was like the Wangfu Stone. The most thing she did every day was to look at the entrance of the village, hoping to see Han Li coming back.

Qi Ruying and Yuan Hongying were short of money, and their food had been eaten before the autumn harvest, but they were embarrassed to ask Han Li for help, so they borrowed food from Wu Lili to get through the autumn harvest.

In the past, Wu Lili would never lend them money, but she thought about her situation among the educated youth, and she had almost no one like her except Niu Dechang, so she had to bite her teeth and lend it out.

As for Wang Kai, Niu Dechang, Yan Weimin, Xu Yongjian and others, they were unsure whether they could go home this year. It depends on how much money and grain they can get when the grain is distributed. Only then can they know whether they can go home for the New Year.

As for the newcomers Wang Congfei, Sun Yingming, Liu Liyan, and Ma Runping, they are not eligible to go home this year.

Han Li returned to Shanghe Village in the afterglow of the setting sun, carrying a large travel bag and a shoulder bag across his body.

However, there were almost no idle people in the village at this time. The young people went to the mountains, the children went to the fields to dig food, and even the elderly with inconvenient hands and feet were mostly burning charcoal by the river. The old ladies were busy drying mountain products and cleaning the cellar. In short, everyone was busy.

Han Li didn't meet anyone until he was almost at the door of the agency. The Yun sisters saw the dog humming and wagging its tail and ran out. They immediately knew that Han Li was back, and they saw the familiar figure when they walked out of the door.

"Brother Li (Han Li), you are back."

There is no need to describe the situation in detail. After the three of them entered the agency, they played for a while, and Han Li took Yun Yingying home first.

Han Li didn't go out after returning home. After dinner, the street door of their house was closed early.

So the night in their house today was destined to be lively, and Han Li found that the sisters' physical strength seemed to have improved a little. Could it be that the powerful pills had taken effect? ​​In the end, the roof was emitting a hot breath.

Han Li got up early the next morning. The sisters were too tired last night, so they were sleeping soundly at the moment.

After Han Li came to the yard, he stretched all the muscles and bones that had not been exercised in the past few days and started the previous exercises.

The family had a harmonious breakfast. Han Li sent the sisters to the agency point, first went to the homes of Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang, left a small gift he bought from Chuncheng, and then opened the door of the clinic to tell everyone that he was back, and then secretly went to He Mi's house. As a result, his lock was not completely opened, and Wu Lili ran over in surprise.

"Han Li, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you these days."

"Wu Lili, please don't say that. If others hear what you said just now, they will think that there is something going on between us."

When Wu Lili was at a loss of words after being rebuked by Han Li, Ma Runping's laughter came from the side.

"It's okay. I can prove that there is nothing between you."

Han Li didn't even bother to reply and just gave them a slap on the back of his head, pushed the door open and walked in.

When Wu Lili was about to come in, she suddenly thought of something and said something inside.

"I will go home and wash myself before coming back."

Ma Runping blushed when she heard this, because she also washed herself every day and waited for Han Li to help her bleed.

The health room was usually not cleaned by the two sisters, but by Hou Yuhua and Qi Zhaodi, so it was very clean inside.

After Han Li went in, he only needed to light the stove and boil water. After the water boiled, he could make tea and start his salted fish life for the day.

At this time, Ma Runping followed in from behind. She wanted to help but was rejected by Han Li.

"Han Li, did you go out a long way a few days ago?"

"Yes, I went to see patients."

"The farthest I have been since I came here is to the county town. I was almost suffocated. Can you tell me where you went? Can you tell me what you saw on the way?"

"Comrade Ma Runping, I'm really sorry. It's about the patient's privacy and I can't tell anyone."

"You can't even tell us about our relationship?"

"First of all, we are just comrades who went to the countryside to work in the fields at the same time, and this involves a doctor's basic ethics. Otherwise, your things, including your appearance, would have been known to everyone a long time ago."

Han Li's words embarrassed Ma Runping. She couldn't put her head in her crotch at this moment, but it happened that Wu Lili came in at home after washing her face, so she had to forcefully ease her embarrassment.

"Han Li, I've already washed it. When do we start?"

After Han Li nodded, he reached out to check the situation of the originally treated area. After a while, Wu Lili's screams were heard again in the health room.

This sound scared Ma Runping. If she heard it outside, she would think they were doing something inside.

However, Wu Lili's sensitive skin made her do very little treatment at a time. Even if she said she was not afraid of pain, Han Li refused to do more.

"Your face must wait for these swollen areas to completely recover before the next treatment can be carried out. Otherwise, it may become bumpy. I think you must not want to see such a situation, right?"

Wu Lili was very concerned about her face. Of course, she would not see such a situation, but she still said worriedly.

"The food will be distributed soon. You will definitely go home for the New Year. But if we continue the treatment at this speed, we won't be able to get rid of all these disgusting things this year?"

"If you want the best results, don't be impatient. If you can't finish it this year, you can continue next year. It's not like I won't go back to Shanghe Village next year."

After Han Li said this, he found that the two people still had no intention of leaving the clinic, so he found an excuse to drive them away.

But good things always take time. After the two people left, Han Li had just packed up and was about to go to He Mi, when the door of the clinic was pushed open again, but this time it was Yin Lanfen from Zhang Xiangjun's family who came in.

PS: Some big guys said they didn't know what black and white cabbage was. In fact, it is a cold dish made by mixing black fungus and cabbage together.
