Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 190: Chapter 189, wow, that’s awesome!

”Cough, cough!”

Xu Wendong cleared his throat, suppressing his inner embarrassment, ”Your milk ducts are much clearer now. Make sure to let the baby nurse more when you go back.”

”Remember not to use a bottle to feed formula during this time, even if the baby cries from hunger, don’t give in.”

”You need to get the baby used to breastfeeding, you have to be a bit tough.”

”It’s not just about saving money on formula, there are plenty of benefits for both you and the baby.”

As a doctor, Xu Wendong knew well the difference between breastfeeding and formula feeding.

”Thank you, Doctor Xu.” Wang Feifei politely said, then buttoned up her shirt and with a blush, ”How much is the cost for the lactation consultation?”

”The hospital pays my salary, you don’t need to give me money, save it to buy some healthy foods to help with milk production!” Xu Wendong said indifferently.

Wang Feifei said another polite word before leaving the village committee.

As soon as she left, Su Li returned to the village committee. She had already sent her cut hair to the Qingshan Village convenience store to be sent back to the provincial capital by the store owner.

Seeing Xu Wendong sitting under the parasol tree, drinking tea and reading a book, she walked over directly, ”Xiao Xu, I have an idea, could you give me some advice?”

”What idea?” Xu Wendong, with nothing else to do, didn’t mind chatting about work with this beautiful Party Secretary. Of course, in his view, it would be even better if they ended up in bed.

Su Li said, ”Our Qingshan Village has many villagers planting persimmons, chestnuts, walnuts, hawthorns, these kinds of economic crops. But because there’s no market for them, they barely make any money each year.”

”Although I want to integrate into this big community as soon as possible, I’m afraid the villagers can’t accept me just yet.”

”I’m thinking of buying these economic crops from the villagers and helping them sell them. This way, the villagers might genuinely accept me.”

Xu Wendong nodded slightly, ”But as far as I know, there are quite a lot of these economic crops in Qingshan Village! Do you have enough money to buy them?”

Su Li smiled slightly, ”It’s alright, I had a scholarship in college and saved some money from part-time jobs. It’s not hard to buy all of the villagers’ economic crops.”

Xu Wendong asked again, ”Even if you can buy everything, then what?”

”Will you let those economic crops rot in your hands?”

Su Li was at a loss for words. She just came to Xu Wendong to discuss this matter and hadn’t thought too much about it.

Xu Wendong took a sip of tea and said, ”I understand you mean well, but if the villagers know about this, they won’t just reject you, they might even hate you more.”

”They do want to escape poverty, but they would never accept your charity.”

”Your goodwill here is the biggest insult to them.”

”Just like you said before, ’A virtuous person does not eat from charity,’ isn’t that the same concept?” He said, raising an eyebrow.

Su Li was deeply ashamed, ”Are you ever going to stop?”

Xu Wendong laughed, ”Actually, you can tell the villagers to gather all their economic crops together, sort them by quality, and then you find a market to help them sell them.”

”This method could work, but... the villagers might not trust me yet!” Su Li looked worried. Although she had been in Qingshan Village for more than half a year, the villagers didn’t take her seriously. Even with her good intentions, she figured no one would pay attention to her.

At this time,

Zhao Ranran walked into the village committee yard wearing a white T-shirt, a black long skirt, a sunhat, and carrying a bamboo basket, ”Doctor Xu, the peaches from my yard are ripe, I picked some for you to try.”

Seeing Su Li with her newly cut short hair, Zhao Ranran showed a surprised expression, then gave a slight smile as a greeting.

Xu Wendong quickly stood up and took the bamboo basket from Zhao Ranran’s hand, ”Sister Ranran, you worked hard to grow these peaches, you should keep them to sell for money. Why bring so much here?”

Seeing this, Su Li showed an expression of resignation, thinking why he was always getting food and peaches. Was it just because Xu Wendong was handsome that he was treated this way?

”Sister Ranran, you came at just the right time.” Xu Wendong gestured for Zhao Ranran to sit down and asked, ”What other fruits does your family grow?”

”We have five acres of persimmons and two acres of hawthorns, why do you ask?” Zhao Ranran asked, full of curiosity.

Xu Wendong explained Su Li’s idea of helping the villagers sell their fruits, which surprised Zhao Ranran. She didn’t expect Su Li to have such thoughts.

Although she didn’t particularly like Su Li, she valued Xu Wendong’s opinion, ”If Secretary Su can help me sell the persimmons and hawthorns, that would be great, saving me the trouble of going to town markets to retail them.”

Su Li stood up excitedly, ”As long as you trust me, I’ll definitely help you sell these fruits.”

Zhao Ranran felt like Su Li had changed.

From being aloof, she had become much more down-to-earth.

After a brief chat, Zhao Ranran left the village committee, while Su Li pondered over how to sell Zhao Ranran’s five acres of persimmons and two acres of hawthorns, ”I’m thinking about contacting some companies that make dried persimmons and those that produce hawthorn preserves and beverages, so I can sell all of Zhao Ranran’s persimmons and hawthorns as soon as possible.”

Xu Wendong, ”Wow, that’s really something.”

”What do you mean by that?” Su Li replied, feeling mocked by Xu Wendong’s sarcasm.

Xu Wendong smiled wryly, ”You know, five acres of persimmons only yield about thirty thousand pounds. That might sound like a lot to you, but for some factories, it’s not even a drop in the bucket. Do you really think they’d care about thirty thousand pounds of persimmons?”

”Not to mention the two acres of hawthorns. Even if you took them to the factory’s doorstep, they probably wouldn’t even glance at them.”

”You, you shouldn’t see things so optimistically.”

”Then what should I do?” Su Li asked, dejected.

Xu Wendong, ”Wait, who exactly is the Party Secretary of Qingshan Village here? This is clearly your job, but you’re asking me what to do?”

”The thing is, I have a feeling you’re a capable person and will come up with a good plan.” Su Li said with a faint smile, ”If you can help me find a good solution, I’ll wash your clothes from now on, how does that sound?”

Xu Wendong pursed his lips, ”I’m already cooking, isn’t it just natural for you to do the laundry?”

Su Li asked, ”Then what do you want?”

Xu Wendong looked up and down at this short-haired, heroic woman, showing a hint of a meaningful smile, ”The weather’s getting colder, and I don’t like an icy bed.”

Su Li looked at him incredulously, ”What are you trying to say?”

Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow, giving her a look full of deep meaning, ”I want you to be my bed-warming maid!”
