CHAPTER 114: CHAPTER 108: FOOLING AROUND

"He’s really okay, who are you? How do you know? Are you perhaps a doctor? You seem quite knowledgeable."

Mr. Wang asked curiously.

The foreigner’s condition has stabilized now, relieving Mr. Wang. As long as the expert is fine, he’s completed his job.

"I’m Jiang Yue’s sister, Jiang Xiaoxiao, and I came from Kenqing Farm to visit my sister. I know a bit of foreign languages, and of course, a bit about medicine. It’s fine for simple cases, and his condition isn’t very serious.

That’s why I can tell. Normally, after resting for a day or two, he should recover."

Jiang Xiaoxiao explained briefly, thinking that since their family is from the city, she can make up whatever resume she wants.

Who would meticulously check her ancestry?

Jiang Yue didn’t look too pleased.

When did her little sister become so good at foreign languages; none of their siblings were really good at studying.

Although Xiao Xiao studied the best among them, she didn’t graduate high school.

The school didn’t even have a foreign language course.

Most importantly, how did her sister learn medicine?

But wait, they used to have a neighbor who particularly liked her sister, and it seems both were doctors.

Could it be that her sister learned from them?

"Oh my, Jiang Yue, today I’m really grateful to your sister. Without her, I’d have been at a loss, especially with the language barrier. This is an expert from the province; if something happened to him,

I wouldn’t be able to face the consequences. Your sister has saved me."

Mr. Wang was still afraid when he thought about it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled.

Jiang Yue also laughed, "Mr. Wang, just sit here and rest for a while. My sister and I will go cook, and soon there will be a meal ready. If this foreigner eats, he might recover faster."

She gave Jiang Xiaoxiao a meaningful look.

Jiang Xiaoxiao walked out with her sister.

Mr. Wang and the foreigner stared at each other.

Neither could understand the other’s language; they could only stare.

Jiang Yue whispered to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"You mischievous girl, how could you hide this from me? I didn’t know you could do so much now. Not only can you speak foreign languages, but you can also treat patients. Tell me honestly, what have you been doing these past two years while I wasn’t home?"

Pulling Jiang Xiaoxiao’s ear as they entered the kitchen.

Her agility made it hard to believe she was eight months pregnant.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled ruefully, knowing she could fool her parents and elder brother as they lack education, by chance.

They hadn’t noticed.

But she couldn’t fool her older sister; what kind of person was her sister, who studied up to the second year of high school under such conditions?

In their family, the truly educated one was the older sister.

If it weren’t for being taken abroad by her daughter to retire, how could her foreign language be so fluent?

Ultimately, it was a blessing in disguise.

Wealth was accumulated over time.

"Big sis, it hurts, it hurts! Your strength! Oh my, with that belly, how can you be so harsh! It’s as if my nephew matters more than me, your sister. You’re being too hard on me."

She pleaded with a pained smile.

Jiang Yue glanced around before releasing her grip and whispered softly.

"Confess everything honestly, don’t think you can just fool me."

She ducked behind the curtain and entered the kitchen.

Jiang Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose, realizing she was about to be interrogated.

"Sis, you’re overthinking it. I’ve not just been idling these past years; I’ve learned a bit at home. You know how my godfather and godmother genuinely care for me. Learning a trick or two from them was inevitable.

Moreover, I only know a little surface-level stuff. My foreign language was learned from my godparents, who often tested me on it. It came naturally after I spoke enough. I didn’t even realize I became this fluent."

Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged her sister in a show of affection.

"Sis, I never thought these skills would be useful today. I didn’t expect to encounter a foreigner in your production squad.

Using these skills was unexpected, but my godparents’ pranks seem useful."

Jiang Xiaoxiao muddied the waters; after all, who knew what real skills her godparents taught her.

"Alright, you just keep fooling me daily. I know you have godparents. You know the movements aren’t long gone; who knows if there’ll be more later? Keep a low profile; speaking foreign languages isn’t a good thing now. If people label you as a foreign spy, it will be troublesome."

Jiang Yue feared the movement against intellectuals wasn’t that far in the past.

In some places, its effects hadn’t fully dissipated.

Knowing foreign languages wasn’t always a badge of honor; it could lead to severe consequences.

She feared her sister might not understand that, thinking it a great skill.

If she flaunted it everywhere.

It might bring disaster to their family.

Their parents treasured their elder daughter, and if something happened to her, they would be heartbroken.

Jiang Xiaoxiao patted her chest reassuringly, "Don’t worry, sis, I won’t go around bragging about knowing foreign languages. Besides, I’m at the forest station nowadays, not seeing many people, let alone foreigners. Those foreigners wouldn’t come to the forest station."

She reassured her older sister.

Only then did Jiang Yue put her mind at ease.

The sisters were already prepared when they started cooking, and everything went quickly.

Hot noodles with sauce were ready.

Mr. Wang and the foreigner ate the steaming hot noodles.

The foreigner not only ate heartily but also consumed two bowls, leaving not a drop of sauce.

Mr. Wang thoroughly enjoyed it, relishing the warm noodles in the cold weather.

Above all, the taste was excellent.

They both gave thumbs-up.

It was clear the foreigner’s spirit was much better than before, and it seemed recovery would take less than a day.

The two were finishing their third bowl when Qin Ming and Qin Dazhi arrived with the tractor driver.

They needed an introduction letter; without Mr. Wang’s letter, a production squad leader’s wouldn’t suffice.

No one would sell them gasoline.

Tractors run on diesel, different from cars.

As they entered the room and saw Mr. Wang and the foreigner eating heartily on the kang, they were surprised.

"Mr. Wang, I’ve brought the tractor driver to buy gasoline in the county. Please provide an introduction letter; otherwise, we can’t buy the fuel."

Qin Dazhi glanced around, noticing Jiang Yue was considerate enough to serve Mr. Wang and the foreigner white flour from her sister’s supplies.

This wife was sensible and generous.

Mr. Wang finished the last of his noodles, wiped his mouth, and took an introduction letter from his briefcase.

He wrote it quickly and stamped it with his county secretary seal.

The county secretary naturally carried these items, so it wasn’t difficult to write an introduction letter.

"Captain Qin, hurry and get back quickly. This is an expert from the provincial city; I must promptly get him to the county, as the county mayor is waiting. We can’t delay."

Qin Dazhi nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Mr. Wang! I’ll head out right away."

Mr. Wang saw Qin Dazhi about to leave and stopped him,

"Don’t rush; let me accompany you to your team headquarters and call the county. Let’s see what the county mayor says."
