Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 730: Chapter 82: Capital City Turmoil

Covered in snow, Changbai Mountain was as bright as day even at night. Around six or seven in the morning, things outside the cabin became lively.

The military helicopters that had left yesterday returned, accompanied by Wang Zhonghe and his son who had rushed over from Beijing overnight.

Wang Fenglei saw his own son and grandson but didn’t show a welcoming face. When he took the initiative to contact the Northern Military Region to request the use of supply helicopters, he had anticipated that his whereabouts would be revealed. That woman Zhang Lvxiao really never allowed for peace of mind.

"Dad, why are you holed up in a place like this," Wang Zhonghe complained when he saw his father’s living conditions and the small cabin crowded like boiling dumplings.

"What’s wrong with this place? I’m happy to be holed up here. Get lost, I’m not going back," Wang Fenglei growled at Wang Zhonghe, and Wang Shuai, seeing that Zhou Ziang and Xiao Xian were also present, winked at them and then put on the act of a good grandson.

Having only been in a position to train others since joining the military, Wang Zhonghe was not used to being scolded like this, his face flushed red with embarrassment.

"Grandpa, it’s a special situation this time. Auntie has a grandson now, you’ve been promoted to great-grandfather, you should come back and take a look." Grandsons always have a way with words that pleases more than sons do, so Wang Shuai explained for a bit.

Wang Fenglei’s expression eased somewhat upon hearing his grandson Wang Shuai’s words.

"Hmph, look at you, your cousin is already married and has children. When are you going to bring a granddaughter-in-law home for your grandpa, let me truly be a great-grandpa," Wang Zhonghe, seeing his own grandson, was very satisfied. More communicative than Wang Zhonghe and yet not losing the bearing of a military family—that’s what his real grandson looked like.

"Grandpa, I’m still young..." Wang Shuai said, putting on the act of a good grandson, but his lips curled slightly when he caught sight of Xu Lan Ya, who had just come out of the cabin after hearing the commotion.

"Lan Ya, you’re here too? And Researcher Zhou, and all the classmates?" Wang Zhonghe, seeing such an unlikely gathering of people in one room, was full of doubts. But in the presence of his father, he couldn’t behave with the usual severity he had when questioning people.

"Babble on. Everyone in the house is my guest. Since when is it your turn to interrupt? There are two sick people inside, and a madman. Send some people to get them down the mountain." Wang Fenglei, in his family, cherished his youngest daughter the most. Hearing that she had become a grandmother made him somewhat inclined to descend the mountain.

Xiao Que hadn’t woken up yet, it was better to send her directly to Beijing rather than just to the city since there were available helicopters.

Several people were split among the helicopters, with each of the three patients occupying one helicopter. The remaining helicopters each carried a few people flying towards Beijing.

After a flight of half the day, the helicopters arrived in Beijing. Yezi accompanied Sister Meixin to pick up Huang Teng Chong.

Aisha and Xu Lan Ya each returned to their hotels and families to report on the situation.

Xiao Que was settled in the 411 Hospital by Wang Fenglei, waiting for a consultation.

The good news was that Mei Nian had woken up on the flight back to Beijing, and although she was still very weak, her condition was relatively good. Xiao Xian had used Spiritual Energy to clear the cold from her body, then brought her back to "Plum Rice Ball."

Upon receiving the news, Yu Gang rushed over immediately. Seeing Mei Nian looking frail, he was extremely distressed.

"It’s fine, I’ve checked the boss lady’s pulse, there’s nothing serious. Just need some ginseng to replenish her qi, she’ll recover by spring," Mei Nian returning was joyous for no one more than for Huang Yaoshi.

After Xiao Xian left, the old pharmacist had to worry about both Mei Nian and Xiao Xian, and it made him so anxious that he lost a good deal of his eyebrows and hair.

After comforting Huang Yaoshi, Xiao Xian hurried to the 411 Hospital to see Zhuo Feng.

Zhuo Feng had gained weight compared to before Xiao Xian "returned to school," and Zhou Ziang had brought over some improved antiemetic medicine before he left. It worked well. Her appetite improved, and she appeared more plump.

To Xiao Xian’s surprise, she also saw the long-missed Grandma Feng in the hospital room.

"Xiao Xian, let Grandma take a look, you’ve grown taller, faster than the chicks we raise at home. I just saw your boyfriend, he’s really handsome, even better-looking than the stars on TV," Grandma Feng started joking, making Xiao Xian smile squinty-eyed, but the second half of the sentence made her sense something was amiss.

"Kids these days mature early, but I think Dr. Zhou is a good guy, polite and reliable," Grandma Feng continued cheerfully, while Feng Xing quickly pulled her out of the room.
