Chapter 660: Contentment Brings Lasting Happiness
Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Contentment Brings Lasting Happiness
Thinking of something, she turned and headed to the Youth Office.
Upon learning that the place she was to be sent to the countryside was her stepmother’s cousin’s place, her face immediately darkened. She knew all too well what her stepmother was planning.
He Xiaomiao returned to the Youth Office shortly after leaving, and when no one was around, she slipped a big bag of White Rabbit candy to the staff member there. "Big sister, take these candies home for the kids to enjoy."
The older sister glanced down and quickly noticed a large banknote hidden underneath, causing her heart to race. Yet she still symbolically refused, "Young lady, this isn’t right. You should take these things back."
He Xiaomiao pressed the middle-aged sister’s hand. "Sister, I’m asking for your help. Don’t worry, I won’t let you get into trouble."
This middle-aged sister had seen all sorts of things at the Youth Office, and could pretty much guess what was going on. "Tell me what you need first, and I’ll see if I can help."
Seeing this, He Xiaomiao didn’t hide anything: "Big sister, if it weren’t for my proud stepsister letting it slip, I wouldn’t have known that my stepmother secretly signed me up to go to the countryside. And that place is actually her cousin’s village..."
At this point, there was nothing unclear. After a moment of silence, the sister said, "Alright, since it’s all about going to the countryside, helping you switch places isn’t impossible."
She checked: "There’s a group of youth going to Hei Province, leaving a day later than where you’re going. What do you think?"
He Xiaomiao was thrilled to hear this.
At worst, she could find a place to stay for a day. Since it’s all about going to the countryside, anywhere but the place arranged by her stepmother would do. "Okay, sister, then I’ll trouble you with this."
The sister reminded her, "It’s colder in Hei Province in winter than here, you need to be mentally prepared. Thick quilts and cotton clothes, make sure to prepare in advance, or you could actually freeze to death."
He Xiaomiao thanked her and then left.
Although winters in Ji Province were also very cold, she knew it was nothing compared to Hei Province. It looked like she would have to find a way to get some cotton and add it to her current quilt.
About He Xiaomiao’s subsequent affairs, Yunyi did not pay much attention, only found out a few days later from next-door Sister-in-law Peng that He Xiaomiao had gone to the countryside, and no one from the He family had gone to see her off.
Ever since Yunyi’s medical skills became word of mouth, more and more people came seeking out Yunyi for treatment.
To avoid exhausting herself, Yunyi approached Director Qiao. "Director Qiao, as you know, I practice a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Many patients require acupuncture or for me to specially prepare ointments. So, we need to control the number of registrations."
Director Qiao was naturally aware, as Doctor Chu had been leaving work later and later these days. "Alright, tell me your thoughts."
Finally, after calling in other hospital leaders for discussion, the Workers’ Hospital decided to issue thirty Yunyi appointments per morning, leaving the afternoons for her to arrange freely, given the ointment preparation and other tasks.
And so, the matter was settled.
That day, after Yunyi and Huo Jingrui finished eating, they both entered the space together.
Once inside, they discovered that the space had expanded even further. Yunyi was puzzled, "I haven’t done any good deeds recently, so why has the space expanded?"
Huo Jingrui took her for a walk around the space. "Could it be that the good karma from your recent medical treatments has accumulated to a point where it caused this change?"
Yunyi thought for a moment and nodded. "That’s possible. Oh well, if I can’t figure it out, I won’t think about it. Going with the flow and being content is the key to happiness."
Huo Jingrui hugged her from behind. "You’re right. Overthinking leads to a tired heart. For us, going with the flow is best."
