Chapter 148 - You Can Live Until 100 Years Old! (1/2)
Chapter 148 You Can Live Until 100 Years Old!Hearing that, Fang Qiu immediately became speechless.
“Why tell him about the spending and purchasing?”
Shortly.
The car threaded and came into a shanty area.
The shanty town was an urban area within the city district with a large density of the bungalows with a long shelf-life. The quality of the houses was poor, and the construction area per capita was small. The infrastructure was incomplete with inconvenient transportation, it had huge public security and fire hazard and the environment was impoverished, dirty and chaotic.
This place was similar to the slums within developing countries such as Brazil and India.
Upon arrival.
Fang Qiu was very surprised.
He did not even know that there was such a shanty area in Jiangjing.
Although the traffic was not convenient, Xu Miaolin managed to familiarize the way and came to a slightly broader site that looked like a garbage dumpsite.
The car just arrived.
Fang Qiu saw a big group of children immediately surrounding them.
“Doctor Xu, Doctor Xu…”
The children were hopping around and yelling happily to see Xu Miaolin.
Looking at these children.
Xu Miaolin smiled and got out of the car. She walked to the back of the vehicle with the children surrounding her, opened the trunk and took out an enormous bag.
There were all kinds of toys in the bag.
It consisted of toys as big as a doll and as small as a car.
Xu Miaolin opened the sack with a smile and distributed a toy to each kid.
These children were different from children from ordinary families in the city. They would not fight nor claim for extra but only one toy in each of their hands. They would not cry even if the toy was not their favorite. Instead, they would surround each other and shared their toys.
Fang Qiu got off the car.
He could feel the warmth in his heart while looking at the happy faces of the children with the toys in their hands.
“Thank you, Doctor Xu!”
“Thank you, Doctor Xu!”
The children were also very polite after receiving the toys, they smiled shyly and thanked Xu Miaolin.
Xu Miaolin was the same.
She smiled happily.
Just like the kids.
Fang Qiu walked forward.
“This is the slum area of the Jiangjing city.”
Looking at the children around her, Xu Miaolin said, “It is also the place I volunteer to treat.”
To have heard what was said.
Fang Qiu was awfully inspired.
Xu Miaolin turned her head around and pointed at the two sacks of rice in the trunk and said, “One sack each, can?”
“I can do it alone.”
Fang Qiu said.
“Yeah?”
Xu Miaolin was shocked.
Fang Qiu directly reached out to grab a sack of rice with one hand, swinging it onto his shoulder and carried it.
“So strong of you!”
Xu Miaolin looked at Fang Qiu in awe for a while and said, “Let’s go. Visit an old man with me.”
Finished saying that.
Both of them stepped out and walked on the muddy road.
There were indiscriminately-built houses on both sides.
There was a simple homemade stove in front of almost every house.
Some of them were making a fire to cook while some were chopping the firewood.
They barely took a few steps.
A voice came in.
“Doctor Xu, you’re here early?”
An extremely thin middle-aged man whose bone could be seen happily greeted Xu Miaolin.
“I’m here.”
Xu Miaolin responded with a smile.
“I will call for you when the meal is ready!”
The middle-aged man said.
“Haha, thank you!”
Xu Miaolin said with a smile, “I just ate something, and I have to hurry up for the consultation!”
“Doesn’t matter. Eat more!”
The middle-aged man warmly invited again, and Xu Miaolin rejected again with a smile.
It was difficult for these people to have a full meal. How would she bear to eat?
Along the way.
Many of them immediately stopped their work and greeted Xu Miaolin with a smile when they saw her. Everyone called her Doctor Xu and she would also chat with them with a smile.
Not too far away.
Walking for around 10 minutes.
10 minutes later.
Fang Qiu came to a shack with the guidance of Xu Miaolin.
That was right.
It was a shack.
This place could not be considered as a house at all.
There was no wall, and the broken tarpaulin was supported by bamboo rafts and wood on all four sides. Looking around, he could see the holes in this tarpaulin.
There was a simple wooden bracket on the top, holding the tarpaulin and there were also a few planks used to hold the tarpaulin.
Looking into the shack again.
There were a few pieces of broken sheets covering the cotton wadding on a very narrow wooden bed with a cotton cover that did not even have a quilt.
In the middle.
There was a fire with a black lacquered teapot hanging over the fire.
There was an older woman with a long hair and a white beard who dressed thickly in a worn cotton cap, sitting in front of the fire.
On closer observation.
The older woman was skinny in full attire. Perhaps she was afraid of the cold.
“Doctor Xu, you’re here?”
The old woman smiled happily when she saw Xu Miaolin and Fang Qiu.
“Well, I brought you two bags of rice today. You don’t eat only one meal a day anymore. It is hard to labor with an empty stomach. You need to have enough food.”
Xu Miaolin persuaded with a smile while directing Fang Qiu to put the rice down.
But here.
The older woman stood up in trepidation.
“Young man, you’re really strong!”
After Fang Qiu let go of the rice, the old woman praised with a smile. “When I was young, I was as capable as you. But, I’m old now!”
