The sky was already dark, and the villagers, busy all day, liked to steal so leisure ti, chatting under the banyan tree in the village. At this ti, several old n and ladies were gathered under the old banyan tree in the village, chatting idly.
"Did you hear? Chen Huzi was stabbed by his own wife and almost died."
"I heard. It seems soone saved him."
"Who has such good dical skill to save soone who almost died?"
"It seems to be Lin Fan."
"What? Da Gui’s son? I haven’t heard he learned dicine, you must be mistaken!"
"No mistake, my old man was watching, personally saw it, it was Lin Fan."
"Tsk tsk, when did this kid learn dicine?"
"Dagui and Ah-Zhen are back, let’s ask them, we’ll know."
They saw a pair of simply dressed elderly people carrying baskets walking over. They were all mud-legged peasants, looked like they just finished working in the fields. The family’s land always had endless work.
These were Lin Fan’s parents.
"Da Gui, Ah-Zhen, you’re back, great. Quickly tell everyone when Lin Fan learned his dical skills, it’s really amazing?"
An old lady pulled Mrs. Lin with a curious face and asked.
This question left the elderly couple stunned. They just ca back from the fields, knowing nothing, suddenly being asked such a question was really baffling.
"Granny Three, what are you talking about? What do you an?" Mrs. Lin asked curiously.
The old lady said, "Didn’t you hear? Today Lin Fan saved Chen Huzi, everyone is curious when he learned dical skills!"
Father Lin shook his head and said, "You must have heard wrong. When did Little Fan learn dical skills? We don’t know either."
Mrs. Lin had a different focus, she said with surprise: "What, Little Fan is back? Why didn’t he co to find us?"
The old lady said, "Look, even the parents don’t know. It seems there is sothing fishy about this. Lin Fan might have been like a blind cat encountering a dead rat, by chance saving Chen Huzi."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, feeling the old lady made sense.
With this explanation, everyone imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relaxed.
There’s no way; if others’ children are too outstanding, they feel pressure. So, they chat back and forth to confirm if it’s true.
When they learned it likely wasn’t true, they all beca happy.
"I was saying, heard Lin Fan went to college, but not a dical college, how could he be good at dical skills?"
"Right, Da Gui, I heard Lin Fan is working in the city as a deliveryman, is it true?"
"What deliveryman, simply put, is just running errands delivering food and drinks for people."
Everyone burst into laughter.
A person running errands delivering food, how could he be good at dical skills? If he were good, would he need to do errands delivering food?
Thus, Lin Fan being good at dical skills is untrue, which makes sense.
Lin Dagui seriously said: "Little Fan is indeed working as a deliveryman, earning money through his labors, nothing shaful about that."
Father Lin and Mrs. Lin were very down-to-earth people. They agreed on the attitude of life, which is to be honest and upright. So Lin Fan working as a deliveryman, honestly earning money, they all felt gratified, though their hearts ached for the hard work of their son, since running errands delivering in wind and rain is indeed quite tiring.
Father Lin’s words, however, made the old n and won laugh together.
"Heard Lin Fan went to college then, Da Gui was happy, held a banquet, entertained relatives, didn’t expect, after college, ended up running errands!"
"Right, was that college attendance a waste?"
"I think it was a waste."
"Look at Chen Datou’s son, didn’t go to college, followed a boss, because he is smart and capable, received the boss’s appreciation, built a new house, bought a car, this is truly successful!"
"Right, Chen Datou’s son is soon to marry, invited the whole village, tsk tsk, truly wealthy!"
"Da Gui, did you receive Chen Datou’s invitation too?"
Father Lin chuckled, "Received it."
Everyone wantonly ridiculed Lin Fan, also comparing him to Chen Datou’s son, which was truly annoying.
What made Father Lin angry, wasn’t that Lin Fan was not as good as Chen Datou’s son, but that he didn’t want others to insult his son like this. In his eyes, Lin Fan was always his pride, no matter what he did, as long as it wasn’t breaking the law, honestly earning, he was satisfied.
"If nothing else, we’ll head ho now."
Father Lin and Mrs. Lin then left, hearing Lin Fan was back, they wanted to see their son soon.
A simple house with a small courtyard, this was their ho, where Lin Fan grew up.
Though it was simple, it was neatly organized, Mrs. Lin was a virtuous wife and managed her ho well.
Lin Fan stepped into his own courtyard, looking at this place, feeling sowhat sentintal.
"Little Fan, you’re back, you really ca back?"
Mrs. Lin walked in, at a glance saw Lin Fan, was overjoyed, earlier when the villagers ntioned it, she dared not believe it.
Father Lin saw Lin Fan, also showed a loving smile.
They all loved Lin Fan very much, Lin Fan has always been their pride.
Even if Lin Fan was delivering in the city, in their view, their son honestly earning, not stealing nor robbing, they felt it was good.
"Yeah, just ca back today, just arrived ho." Lin Fan smiled, seeing his parents, he was genuinely happy, hadn’t been ho for a long ti, hadn’t seen his parents for a long ti.
Father Lin said: "Why didn’t you tell us when you were coming back, I would have killed a chicken, no at tonight."
Lin Fan said: "It’s okay, just eat anything."
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "I always say, Little Fan this child, is easy to feed."
Father Lin curiously said: "Why did you suddenly co back, can you take leave from work in the city?"
Lin Fan said: "Actually, I’m back this ti with Uncle Three."
Father Lin and Mrs. Lin were taken aback: "Where’s your Uncle Three?"
Lin Fan said: "He’s currently getting an infusion in the county hospital, I let Shanshan accompany him, I’ll bring him back in a few days, I returned early to inform everyone."
Father Lin said: "Little Fan, what exactly happened?"
Lin Fan said: "This matter is complicated, I won’t go into detail right now, don’t worry, Uncle Three is fine, he’ll be better soon."
Upon hearing this, the elderly couple was sowhat relieved.
Father Lin said: "Right, Little Fan, how co the villagers are saying you know dical skills, and your skills are really good?"
Mrs. Lin also said: "Yes, heard you saved Chen Huzi, when did you learn dicine?"
Lin Fan smiled and said: "I’m interested in dical skills, just self-studied a bit, didn’t expect today I could help Uncle Hu."
Father Lin said: "So it’s like that, not bad, your hobby is very aningful, hope you keep it up."
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "Don’t stand here talking, co in quickly, Little Fan, you must be hungry, I’ll go cook now."
Mrs. Lin was quick-handed, shortly, cooked the al, the three sat around a small table eating.
