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

Chapter 118 Digging Lotus Roots

The two chatted and laughed happily for a while, and Hu Fangming suggested that they have a nice meal tonight. Feng Qingqing felt guilty about what Lu Yulan and Feng Qingqing had discussed that afternoon, so she naturally had no objection.

As usual, they cooked dinner together that evening, with Feng Qingqing as the head chef and Hu Fangming assisting. After some deliberation, they finally decided to have eggplant and minced meat rice.

They both loved this dish, but while it was delicious, it used a lot of oil and meat, so they usually couldn't bring themselves to make it. Today, however, they were happy and decided to have it together.

The meat was the cured pork that Feng Qingqing and Hu Fangming had mentioned bringing from home. As for why they could eat it for so long, Hu Fangming didn't care. As long as there was something to eat, that was fine. She always felt that Feng Qingqing's place was a treasure chest. Whenever you wanted something, it would definitely be there. Over time, Hu Fangming got used to it.

The two of them made mixed grain rice, and they were already quite satisfied with that.

A spoonful of eggplant with minced meat, served with mixed grain rice, was devoured by the two of them as soon as they picked it up, without even having time to say a word.

Before long, the two finished their meal, leaving not a drop of soup. Satisfied, they slumped in their chairs, thinking to themselves, "This is so delicious! I wish I could eat this every day."

After resting for a while, the two slowly got up and began to tidy up.

After packing up, Hu Fangming said goodbye to Feng Qingqing and returned to the educated youth compound.

Feng Qingqing hesitated for a moment as she watched her leave, but finally spoke up:

"You'd better be careful in the youth settlement in the future, especially with Lü Yulan and Jiang Yun."

After speaking, she looked at Hu Fangming with some concern, but Hu Fangming casually replied:

"Don't worry, I won't provoke them. I'll be fine. I'm going back now."

Feng Qingqing thought to herself: Silly girl, it's not that you'll be fine just because you don't cause trouble. Sometimes trouble will come your way.

But Feng Qingqing couldn't say much right now. She could only take it one step at a time and try to bring her plans forward to avoid them causing trouble for Hu Fangming.

After Hu Fangming returned, Feng Qingqing quickly washed up and, seeing that it was still early, sat down and began to think about things.

She first entered the spatial mall, hoping to find some 'good stuff' that could be used on Lü Yulan. This time, she decided to go all out, to stop her from always being unruly.

After spending a considerable amount of time, Feng Qingqing discovered a drug that could cause mental instability. However, the onset of the disorder was gradual, with the mental state deteriorating little by little. The person taking the drug would be lucid at times and abnormal at others. When lucid, they would know what they were doing when they were abnormal, which made the person taking the drug even more miserable. She knew that in other people's eyes, she must be a mentally unstable person.

After a moment's consideration, Feng Qingqing finally decided to use it on Lü Yulan.

She considered her plan to deal with Lü Yulan, taking into account the activities currently being organized by the brigade. Checking the time, she realized it wasn't too late, so she continued reading the book she had obtained from her spatial storage.

Recently, Feng Qingqing has been reading a book called "Human Acupoints and Meridians," which has deeply resonated with her. Moreover, perhaps because she redeemed it from her spatial dimension, she feels that after finishing the book, her understanding of human acupoints and meridians has advanced by leaps and bounds. She not only understands the origins and development of these meridians but also has a deeper understanding of their applications in various situations.

And for some reason, when she thinks of a certain type of disease, she naturally knows how to insert and remove the needles, as if someone is guiding her.

She was amazed, unsure whether it was due to the space's production or her own special circumstances. Feng Qingqing waited for the right opportunity to give it a try.

Feng Qingqing patiently began her third round of study.

Before she knew it, it was late at night. Feng Qingqing rubbed her eyes, put down her book, got up, and went to rest on the kang (a heated brick bed).

All night until dawn.

The next morning, Feng Qingqing got up early and, seeing the sunrise, knew that the weather would be great that day.

Not long after, Feng Qingqing heard a commotion coming from the brigade headquarters. She guessed that it might be related to the lotus root digging that Hu Fangming had mentioned yesterday.

Feng Qingqing guessed correctly. As soon as the busy farming season ended, the brigade organized lotus root digging. The brigade members were enthusiastic and full of energy. Sure enough, many people had already come to the brigade headquarters early in the morning to wait for the brigade cadres to arrange today's activities.

Feng Qingqing didn't join in the fun right now. She still had to make several boxes of ointment that morning, which she had promised to do, and she needed to finish it as soon as possible.

After finishing the ointment in the afternoon, she would go for a walk by the pond.

Without thinking too much about it, Feng Qingqing simply heated up two steamed buns in the morning and ate them with the soybean paste she had made earlier, which she found quite delicious.

After eating, they began making the ointment.

The first two types of ointments she made were cough syrup and joint ointment. Since she had made these two types of ointments before, Feng Qingqing was very skilled at them and made them quickly. Moreover, they looked much more professional.

Because many people in Lanshan Brigade suffer from the symptoms that this type of ointment addresses, Feng Qingqing made several extra bottles this time.

Next, we need to prepare the medicinal herbs that Aunt Luo needs. The herbs are divided into two categories: one is to be boiled and drunk directly, and the other is to be boiled and used to clean the injured area.

Aunt Luo's medicinal herbs were relatively simple, but she added a few drops of water from her spatial well while preparing them. Aunt Luo's illness had been going on for a long time, and she was worried that without the spatial water, the effect would not be obvious.

After all the ointments and other medicines were prepared, it was already noon.

Hu Fangming returned breathless, covered in mud, but in good spirits. The two chatted briefly. Hu Fangming, eager to get back to the pond, had a quick bite at noon before joining the team to watch the others dig lotus roots.

Although Feng Qingqing is now a medic, she is still a former educated youth. Hu Fangming went to the former educated youth first. Feng Qingqing had something on her mind, so she went with Hu Fangming.

The two first arrived at the spot where the male educated youth were digging lotus roots. As they walked, Feng Qingqing noticed that the male educated youth, whether by luck or something else, had dug up more than some of the commune members. This excited the educated youth, who greeted the two warmly when they saw them coming.

In particular, Miao Qiucui, the female leader in charge of the educated youth, repeatedly invited Feng Qingqing to have a lotus root feast at the educated youth compound that evening.

Feng Qingqing's eyes flickered. She hadn't expected to be so lucky. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy. She got it without any effort. So she immediately agreed happily, saying that she would definitely go and have a good meal.

The educated youth around them had nothing to do with Miao Qiucui's demands on Feng Qingqing, but since someone had brought it up, no one showed any displeasure. Especially now that Feng Qingqing was a medic, no one would offend someone for no reason.

Seeing that things were settled, Feng Qingqing felt a great weight lifted from her shoulders.

She was still worried about delivering her ointment. After taking a walk around and settling her own affairs, she said goodbye and went back to the clinic.
