Chapter 375 - 374: Another Farewell

The matter of the Gu Family selecting a homestead was no secret.

Before long, others in the village knew about it too.

Believe it or not, some people actually followed suit, gritted their teeth, and scraped up money to buy homesteads.

When asked, they said they followed the Gu Family’s lead.

That person said, "The Gu Family is full of smart people. My family is a bit dull, but even a fool can follow the smart ones. Whatever they do, we do too."

They believed that whatever the Gu Family did was undoubtedly good.

Thus, they also followed suit and bought a homestead.

However, this time, the villagers didn’t all rush to buy homesteads like they did with contracting.

Some felt that buying a homestead was useless at the moment.

They thought they would wait until their house wasn’t big enough before buying one.

So, while there were followers, there wasn’t a huge wave of people doing the same.

Yet, many years later, as they watched the prices of homesteads skyrocket, with fewer available, and it becoming extremely difficult to acquire one, those people regretted it.

"If only we had bought along with the Gu Family back then."

"Exactly, just look at how high the Gu Family has reached now."

Of course, these remarks were made in hindsight.

After Ningning and Gu Jia Ning returned to their maternal home, they played with their cousin Zhuangzhuang and cousin Qingqing.

As for the newly born cousin from the second aunt, she was about the same age as Tuantuan, too young to play with them.

Cousin Shi Tou and cousin Xinxin were with the eldest uncle and aunt in Hai City, so they couldn’t be seen at the moment.

Soon after learning of Gu Jia Ning’s return, doctors from the county hospital and local leaders came to visit the Gu Family.

They naturally came for Gu Jia Ning.

Some had heard of Gu Jia Ning’s renowned medical skills.

Upon knowing that Gu Jia Ning had finally returned, those who were desperate for medical help came to seek her aid.

Gu Jia Ning returned this time intending to reunite with family, not to get involved with anything else, especially since the stay wasn’t long.

If the stay were longer, she’d have held a charity clinic as she did last time.

However, she couldn’t turn away the patients coming for medical help.

Faced with anxious and worried faces, she couldn’t bear to tell them to leave either.

So, she could only select cases to treat.

For those with minor illnesses, she advised them to seek treatment at the county hospital.

For urgent and severe cases that were difficult to treat during these times, she took them on.

After all, over the years, with her rich clinical experience and continuous learning in the space, Gu Jia Ning believed her medical skills had reached the top level of this era, even surpassing it in some ways.

So, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-storied pagoda; save if you can.

Just consider it as accumulating virtue and good deeds.

The patients and their families were also considerate.

Therefore, after knowing that Gu Jia Ning was willing to see patients, there wasn’t a swarm of people rushing to seek consultation.

Only those with severe symptoms, particularly complex situations, or previously diagnosed as complicated cases in the hospital had to seek her help.

It proved that Gu Jia Ning’s medical skills were indeed exceptional.

Those illnesses deemed extremely difficult or impossible to cure by patients, families, and even county hospital doctors were healed in just a few days with Gu Jia Ning’s medicines or acupuncture.

Gu Jia Ning: Luckily, there wasn’t a cancer-like incurable illness involved, or else I wouldn’t have been able to do much for now.

Yes, it was temporary inability, not forever.

Gu Jia Ning planned to study medicine production and develop good medications when she had time in the future.

She felt that since the system had bound to her, with such magical functions and space, she shouldn’t let it go to waste.

Gu Jia Ning boldly thought, if she might develop a cure for cancer, who knows, people need dreams, in case they come true.

As they planned to go to Hai City, Gu Jia Ning’s family only stayed in Huaihua Village for half a month.

"Leaving so soon?"

"Once you leave, who knows when we’ll meet again."

Before leaving, Gu Jia Ning chose to sleep with her mother, Yao Chunhua.

Yao Chunhua held her daughter, red-eyed and teary, full of reluctance.

Gu Jia Ning snuggled in her mother’s embrace, smelling that unique scent belonging to her mom.

It seems that every mother has a special scent.

And children are always attached to their mother’s embrace and scent.

So was Gu Jia Ning now.

No matter how old she got, even when she reached old age, as long as her parents were around, she could always be a child, always cared for, and always remembered.

"Mom, I probably won’t be living in the military district when I go to Beijing this time."

"In Beijing, we have several properties. I plan to choose a siheyuan (courtyard house) to live in."

"When you and dad find time, you can visit. There are plenty of rooms in the siheyuan, definitely enough for you both."

Yao Chunhua thought it sounded feasible upon hearing this.

If they went to the military district, it might not be that convenient.

After all, even with a high-ranking son-in-law, space in the military residential area was limited, and the allocated space might not be adequate.

But with Ningning not living in the military district, staying in a siheyuan would impose fewer restrictions, and the space would be more spacious.

"That sounds good."

"Of course it does."

Gu Jia Ning held her mother’s arm, imagining, "At that time, you and dad will come."

"I’ll take you and dad to see Tiananmen, see the Chairman’s portrait, visit the Forbidden City, and watch the flag-raising...

Hearing Ningning’s words, Yao Chunhua’s eyes grew brighter, "Alright, that’s settled then. We’ll definitely go when we have time!"

As they spoke of hopes for the future, Yao Chunhua’s sadness over their parting diminished a bit.

The next day, despite the reluctance, Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi’s family left Huaihua Village.

A comrade of Sheng Zexi drove them to the airport.

With Gu Jia Ning leaving, Yao Chunhua appeared a bit down, but Old Gu patted her shoulder, saying, "We will see each other again."

"For now, let’s focus on getting the little western-style house built."

"When Ningning and the others come back next time, they’ll have a spacious and bright new house to stay in."

The old man’s words gave Yao Chunhua a bit of hope.

Yao Chunhua wasn’t a pessimistic person, so upon hearing this from the old man, she also started to get busy with the house construction.

Buying necessary materials, hiring workers, and commencing the house construction...

Over there, as the Gu Jia Ning family boarded the plane, they carried loads of luggage.

It seems like every time children leave their maternal house, it’s like this.

Always carrying big bags given by their parents.
