The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 145 - 141: Xiao Chenye: Ranran, I’m Back

The firewood that Wen Ran’s family used up was quickly replenished, and the snow was cleaned up completely.

After finishing the work, the Zhang Family, with nothing else to do, knew that Bao Wenxuan lived next door, so they enthusiastically climbed onto the roof to clear the snow.

Bao Wenxuan: "..."

Too enthusiastic, too terrifying!

At that time, the brown sugar eggs that Hongguo cooked in the big pot were also steaming hot and ready.

After working up a sweat, a bowl of sweet water and a bite of soft-boiled poached egg was simply delicious!

"Why don’t you stay for dinner?"

Aunt Zhang declined, "With so many mouths to feed, we’d eat up your entire household."

They came just to take a look and also to greet the team leader. If they could care more for Wen Ran, that would be even better.

The Zhang Family made Wen Ran a set of thick clothing, all using brand new cotton, and they also brought a lot of mountain goods.

The most eye-catching among them were three bundles of sausages.

Wen Ran’s scalp tingled at the sight, not exaggerated to say that just she and Hongguo could eat for a whole year and still have leftovers.

The Zhang Family came and went in a hurry.

While the weather was still good, they hurried off, but what Wen Ran didn’t know was that before they left, the Zhang Family also stopped by the team leader’s house.

The team leader, confused, was so scared he froze.

Oh my goodness, are people so bold these days?

Coming to pick a group fight?

Only upon seeing the old man of the Zhang Family did the team leader realize, oh~ it must be a misunderstanding, because no one would bring their family’s lucky charm ancestor out to a fight.

The old man of the Zhang Family chatted amicably with the team leader for half an hour, leaving the team leader sweating.

The main topic was about not mistreating Wen Ran.

The team leader thought to himself, who dares to mistreat her?

She’s the type who would dare to use a knife to capture bandits alive.

...

Wen Ran and Hongguo earnestly spent their winter hibernation.

Of course, during the New Year, Wen Ran also added two pieces of furniture.

One was a bed table plus version, the other a bedside cabinet, perfect for storing small items. It was very suitable for the lazy Wen Ran—

Preferring to stay in bed and not want to get down.

Poor Hongguo was busy studying while also serving Wen Ran, bringing tea and water.

To this, Wen Ran could only cross her legs and boast, ah, having a sister is the best~

It’s comfortable to lie in bed eating and drinking, but learning felt a bit cramped, unable to stretch her legs. But it’s fine, the matching desk and chair were being made overtime by the carpenter from the Silly Deer Team.

The footsteps of winter were gentle, and the frozen river seemed to thaw in an instant.

Peeling off the heavy winter clothes and changing into a lighter jacket, Wen Ran collected a large package from the post office.

It was from Chen Wan.

Not only did it contain the books Wen Ran wanted, but also all the reference books were included.

From primary school grade one to high school sophomore textbooks, they were all laid out on the bed, truly a magnificent sight.

"Wow," Hongguo looked at the books on the bed, mouth agape, "Sister, do I have to learn all this?"

She patted Hongguo on the shoulder, like watching a show, "Kiddo, this is just the beginning~"

With five thousand years of Huaxia history, these textbooks are just the start, there’s a lot more to learn.

"Sis," Hongguo hugged Wen Ran’s arm, "Can I discuss something with you?"

"Hmm, go ahead, sis is very democratic, as long as you don’t want to go to the moon or the stars, I have no objections at all."

"Really?"

"Uh," Wen Ran, thinking of rebellious kids, decided to leave herself a way out, "Why don’t you first tell me what it is?"

Hongguo hesitated, "It’s nothing major, I just want to learn some medical skills from Sister Xiao Fang."

Seeing Wen Ran didn’t respond immediately, Hongguo quickly promised, "Sis, I’ve already planned my time well, when to learn medicine, when to study, when to take care of the house, I’ve sorted it all out clearly."

The look in her eyes almost blinded Wen Ran.

To be honest, laid-back person Wen Ran really didn’t understand why Hongguo wanted to exhaust herself like this.

She was momentarily stunned, because she thought of a striking phrase from the past life.

Advising someone to study medicine is like courting disaster.

Those volumes, really not something one can easily read through.

"Sis~"

Wen Ran nodded, "If you want to learn, go ahead, and as for the house, nothing much needs doing, I can handle it smoothly. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, got it?"

"Okay!"

"Why do you want to learn medicine?"

Hongguo smiled shyly, "Because I’m quite interested in it."

"Interest is the best teacher, sis believes in you, you’ll definitely succeed!"

However, for Hongguo at that time, the best teacher was Xiao Fang.

The barefoot doctor of the Silly Deer Team.

To learn a craft, one must have some insight, Wen Ran was not lacking anything, planning to prepare a gift for the teacher, letting Hongguo study under Xiao Fang.

But Xiao Fang was straightforward, refusing to accept anything.

"Oh, come on, we don’t even know who’s teaching whom," looking at the bewildered Wen Ran, Xiao Fang found a place to vent her emotions, "You have no idea how exceptional Hongguo really is.

Anything I mention offhand, she can remember clearly. Moreover, her understanding of herbs is even more uncanny than mine."

Hongguo had been roaming the mountains since childhood, picking wild fruits, naturally seeing herbs.

She knew where certain plants thrived, whether they liked sunlight or dark, damp places.

But she couldn’t match the names to the plants.

Xiao Fang reckoned that, given time, once Hongguo learned to read and chewed through a couple medical books, matching names with plant appearances, there wouldn’t be much left for Xiao Fang to teach her.

Hongguo being praised gave Wen Ran quite some face.

But business is business, "Take it."

"Don’t!" Xiao Fang quickly waved her hand, "Just let Hongguo frequently join me in the mountains to gather herbs."

Xiao Fang scratched her head, "Hmm, with her knowledge of herbs, following her saves me a lot of detours. Then, collecting the herbs and delivering them to the county pharmacy is another source of income."

"Sis, let’s go with Sister Xiao Fang’s plan."

Alright then.

Wen Ran didn’t insist on giving Xiao Fang presents, but she still prepared a quite abundant apprenticeship feast for Xiao Fang in the afternoon.

The three of them had a blissful meal.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door.

The chances of good or bad news were almost fifty-fifty.

Hongguo still had a bun in her mouth, hurriedly said, "Sis, I’ll go."

It was Xiao Chenye.

After a month or so apart, seeing Xiao Chenye again, Wen Ran almost didn’t recognize him.

He was tanner and thinner.

The aura around him had changed, even his eyes were sharper.

However...

He was more handsome.

"Ranran," Xiao Chenye smiled, and his aura disappeared in an instant.

What she saw was still the simple, silly, rugged man who only knew to scratch his head when he saw her.

He smiled, revealing a set of big white teeth, "I’m back!"
