Chapter 149 Lin Huanhuan Comes to the Door

The captain walked briskly home, his hands casually behind his back, humming a cheerful tune from time to time. He was in high spirits, as if the surrounding scenery had become exceptionally beautiful.

Not long after, the brigade leader arrived home. As soon as he entered, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Old woman, I'm home! Is dinner ready?"

Lin Xier, who was busy in the kitchen, came out when she heard the noise and said reproachfully, "It's been ready for a long time. We've been waiting for you, the head of the household, to come back and serve dinner!"

"Where have you been all afternoon? If you hadn't come back any later, the food would have gotten cold!"

The brigade leader chuckled and explained, "I went to deliver something to the little girl in our village."

"I have good news for you! Our village will have its own barefoot doctor from now on!" As he spoke, the brigade leader's smile grew even brighter, almost overflowing.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xier's eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed with delight, "Really? That's wonderful! Now it will be so much more convenient for the villagers to see a doctor!"

Just as the couple were happily preparing to head to the dinner table, a sudden, urgent knocking sounded at the door—"Bang, bang, bang!" The sound was particularly loud in the quiet night.

"Oh, it's so late, who could it be?" Lin Xi'er muttered to herself, turning around and walking quickly toward the door.

As she walked, she secretly wondered who the newcomer was.

When Lin Xier opened the door, she saw a strange little girl standing timidly at the door.

By the faint moonlight, one could see that the little girl had delicate features, but her expression was slightly nervous.

She was still clutching a bag of brown sugar tightly in her hand, seemingly at a loss.

Lin Xier looked at the unfamiliar young girl with a puzzled expression and asked softly, "Miss, who are you...?"

"Auntie, hello! I'm Lin Huanhuan, a former educated youth who just arrived in our village a few days ago. I'm really a little embarrassed to come and visit you and the brigade leader today."

"This little gift is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it," Lin Huanhuan said with a sweet smile and graceful demeanor.

Lin Xier was very tempted when she saw that there was about a pound of brown sugar. Her niece-in-law was about to give birth and needed brown sugar water.

Just then, the captain, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the noise outside and asked curiously, "Old woman, who's here?"

"It's that girl from the educated youth compound who's here to see you." Lin Xier responded to the brigade leader's words while warmly leading Lin Huanhuan into the house.

Upon seeing the brigade leader, Lin Huanhuan quickly stepped forward and politely said, "Brigade leader, hello! I am Lin Huanhuan, the newly arrived educated youth. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The brigade leader looked the young and lively girl up and down, smiled and nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "Lin Zhiqing, is there something you need to see me about today?"

Hearing the brigade leader ask this, Lin Huanhuan's eyes lit up immediately. She excitedly said, "Brigade leader, it's like this. I heard that a health clinic was recently established in our village, is that right?"

Before the captain could answer, he continued, "Actually, I've been learning medicine from my mother since I was little. Although I wouldn't dare say I'm that good, I'm quite confident I can cure some simple minor illnesses."

"So I wanted to ask if I could help out at the health center? The thought of using my knowledge to serve my fellow villagers makes me so proud!"

As she spoke, a proud expression involuntarily appeared on Lin Huanhuan's face.

Upon hearing this, the brigade leader paused for a moment, a look of doubt on his face: "Who told you that? Actually, it's just that a little girl in our village passed the barefoot doctor exam, so our village brigade is planning to create such a position."

However, for now, it seems that she alone is enough to meet the village's basic medical needs.

Upon hearing this, Lin Huanhuan immediately became anxious and quickly explained, "Captain, my medical skills are really quite good. Please, have mercy and give me a fair chance to compete."

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with anticipation and anxiety.

The captain pondered for a moment, then replied, "Hmm... how about this? You go to town first and try to find some connections to get that barefoot doctor's certificate. Once you have the certificate, come back and talk to me."

"At that time, we can arrange for the two of you to take turns being on duty at our village clinic. What do you think of this idea?"

Hearing this, Lin Huanhuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up to thank the captain: "Thank you so much, Captain!"

The captain waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hey, this is nothing serious."

"As long as you can pass the barefoot doctor certificate exam, even if you don't need my help, other villages might be vying to have you work for them."

As he spoke, he took out paper and pen from the drawer and carefully wrote a letter of introduction for Lin Huanhuan.

Thank you for your love and support!!
