The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1299 Cooperative Society

Ling Feng was taken aback, then laughed, "Really? Did they purposely give us some alone time?"

"Of course not!"

Mu Lingling blushed, quickly shaking her head in denial!

She continued, "My parents took the money from the apples to pay off a debt at my grandfather’s place!"

"Oh?"

Ling Feng was surprised and quickly asked, "Your family still has debts?"

"Yes, last year my mother fell ill and we spent a lot of money in the hospital. Thankfully, we sold the apples this year; otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to repay this money now," Mu Lingling said.

Ling Feng sighed upon hearing this, then said, "Your parents aren’t young anymore, yet they still have to run such a large orchard. They haven’t had a break all year."

"Right, managing an orchard is even more tiring than farming crops." Mu Lingling nodded.

Hearing this, Ling Feng frowned and thought for a moment, "How about this, since the winter break is approaching, why don’t you take a longer leave?"

"Huh?"

Mu Lingling was stunned and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Ling Feng chuckled, "I suddenly feel that simply increasing the planting area isn’t the solution. It consumes too much manpower, so why not adopt a modern planting management model? Anyway, I have money I got from Yangjing County, let’s hire some experts to help us with this?"

"How do you modernize planting? And why do you want me to stay?" Mu Lingling still didn’t understand.

"It’s about mechanization—using machines for irrigation, pest control, weeding, and harvesting. Wouldn’t that make things much easier?"

Ling Feng smiled and continued, "The locals might find it hard to operate the machines, so I want you to stay and guide them."

"Oh."

Only then did Mu Lingling realize, and she asked, "But for such a large area, how many machines would we need to buy?"

"I have plenty of money, so we don’t need to worry about that. Just tell me if you’re willing to help with the guidance!" Ling Feng said with a smile.

Mu Lingling nodded, "Of course I’m willing, but Ling, we should agree that I won’t stay in the village for a long time. I can’t bear to leave the kids at Tang Family Village!"

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment after hearing this, "Then come back with me, and we can have the manufacturers send experts to the village for guidance instead!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingling quickly nodded, "That would be the best!"

Seeing her smile like that, Ling Feng said, "Actually, you’re mainly worried that if I don’t come here, you won’t get to see me, right?"

"Uh..."

Mu Lingling, caught off guard, shyly lowered her head.

Ling Feng smiled, walked up, and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "It’s not too early now, do you want to rest early?"

"Okay...."

Mu Lingling was flustered yet secretly happy inside, and she nodded slightly.

No matter if Mu Guocai and his wife did it intentionally, things had come to fruition, and there was no need for Ling Feng to make a fuss over it.

Maybe with the nourishment of love, the shadow within Mu Lingling’s heart would disappear completely?

...

...

Early the next morning, before the sun was up, Ling Feng woke up.

Looking at Mu Lingling sleeping soundly in his arms, he smiled silently.

Then Ling Feng carefully let go and slipped out of bed quietly.

When Mu Lingling woke up, he had already prepared breakfast, making a pot of steaming white porridge and two small pickles on the side.

Seeing this, Mu Lingling felt very touched, suppressing her shyness as she nestled into Ling Feng’s arms, "Thank you, Ling."

"What are you saying? No need to be so formal, right?"

Ling Feng chuckled, patting her back gently, "Alright, go freshen up and then eat; we have tasks to do today!"

"Okay, got it!"

Mu Lingling walked with a spring in her step and quickly went to wash her face.

During breakfast, they discussed and thought that since they were going big on the apple business, they might as well establish a cooperative. This would make management easier and safeguard the villagers’ interests.

Since it was her hometown’s business, Mu Lingling was particularly serious, offering Ling Feng lots of suggestions.

Then they drove directly to the county to register the cooperative and consulted fruit tree experts at the agricultural college.

The result was that the Mu Family Village’s apple farming cooperative signed a cooperation agreement with the agricultural college. Before spring next year, experts would go to the village to conduct fruit tree planting technique seminars and bring the most advanced technologies and machines.

With that, Ling Feng didn’t have to worry about the orchard as someone else was handling it.

After wrapping up these tasks, he drove back with Mu Lingling.

When he returned to Tang Family Village, Ling Feng specifically visited the distillery and saw that the apples had been put into the cellar.

The apple cider production line was also under construction and would soon be ready for production.

After busying himself for several days, with everything progressing smoothly, Ling Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, he didn’t leave and stayed at Tang Xiaoqian’s house.

After a burst of passion, Tang Xiaoqian snuggled against Ling Feng, whispering, "I noticed Lingling seems different; have you two...?"

Ling Feng laughed and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "Yes."

There was nothing to hide about this; she was originally the one who brought him and Mu Lingling together, so naturally, with their relationship now official, he had to tell her.

Tang Xiaoqian smiled upon hearing this and said, "Then I’m relieved. It looks like Lingling has finally let go of her burdens!"

"Yes, that’s exactly what I wanted. It’s good enough if she can live happily!" Ling Feng said.

Tang Xiaoqian looked up at him, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, but don’t worry, I won’t be gone forever; I’ll come back in a few days!" Ling Feng replied with a smile.

"Alright, even if you don’t return, it doesn’t matter. If I miss you, I can find you!" Tang Xiaoqian laughed.

Though she said that, it was just her way of comforting herself because Tang Xiaoqian knew that if Ling Feng got busy, it wouldn’t help to go find him.

Ling Feng didn’t say much else, just held her tightly, "No matter what happens in the future, let’s cherish the present!"

"I..."

Before Tang Xiaoqian could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed.

After such a passionate night, when the day had just broken, Ling Feng left Tang Family Village.

The urgency was because something had come up in Yangjing County.

Through teleportation, the sun had just risen on this side.

Ling Feng left the hotel and went straight to the police station, quickly meeting Chen Fei in her office.

"Did calling you over in such a hurry disrupt your schedule?"

Seeing Ling Feng, Chen Fei displayed a gentle smile and asked softly.

"It’s okay; I just finished dealing with the apple cider business!"

Ling Feng chuckled, sat down, and continued to ask, "Could you tell me the detailed case information?"

"Sure."

Chen Fei nodded and recounted what had happened in Yangjing County yesterday.
