Chapter 11 Visiting a Patient Chapter 11 Visiting a Patient
The sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing, the wind is blowing gently, in the picturesque village, at the foot of the mountain that holds endless treasures. Ningjing's first new house in this life is built! After three days, all the villagers who came to build a house for Ningjing gave Ningjing a thumbs up.

There are three reasons:

The food at Ningjing is good and the meals are delicious.

Ningjing is beautiful, kind and sincere to others!
Ningjing’s rewards are generous, it’s worth coming here to help!
The villagers who didn't come regretted hearing that Ning Jing's family gave them half a pound of brown sugar, half a pound of pork, and three feet of cloth as a return gift! In that era, it was considered a heavy gift!
It is worth mentioning that while Ning Jing's family was busy building a house, no one showed up at the old house! How cold!

Three new tiled houses were built. The two square houses in the south were used for living, each with a kang. The rectangular house at the back was divided into two small rooms, one for the kitchen and the other for the bathroom! It will take another half a month before the new house can be occupied.

After the house was built, Ning Jing led her family to the valley. There were a lot of herbs. Grandpa Ning led everyone to collect the precious herbs and store them. The rest could only be collected slowly! They also collected some game in the trap!
Brother Ning Jing took advantage of this time to make a small kang table, a desk, a dining table, a few chairs, and three shelves for Ning Jing. Ning Jing is almost done with her work! Mother Ning is about to take her son and daughter-in-law back. Ning Jing is in good health now and does not need her mother to accompany her! Grandpa Ning decided to stay here with Ning Jing and pick herbs!
Ning Jing packed five pheasants, six wild rabbits, and a pile of dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots for her family. There were a lot of fish on the beach, so Ning Jing didn't take any. She also braised a large pot of pig offal for her family to take back. Then she said goodbye to her family reluctantly!

"My dear girl, I will come to see you after the busy farming season! Be careful in daily life, don't go up the mountain too often, and don't go fishing. It's dangerous by the river. Take good care of grandpa. If the Xu family dares to bully you, just write to me and I will support you!" Mother Ning held Ning Jing's hand and said a lot of things, with tears in her eyes.

The elder brother and his wife were reluctant to look at Ning Jing! Ning Jing nestled in her mother's arms and cried like a tearful person. Ning Jing didn't want to cry, but she didn't know if it was because of the pregnancy or some other reason, she was particularly sad now!

After seeing her family off, Ning Jing sat alone in a chair, still feeling depressed and sad!

"Jing girl, I, your old man, am still here with you. Why are you being so squeamish? Besides, it's not that I can't see you! Look at what you have become!" Grandpa was very upset when he saw Ning Jing like this!

"Use this time to study hard!" He then handed a illustrated book of Chinese herbal medicine to Ning Jing.

"Hurry up and study hard, and follow me into the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow!"

Ning Jing weakly took the book and replied, "Got it!"

"Is anyone home?" At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the yard!

Ning Jing opened the gate and saw a young woman in her twenties standing outside. She had two pigtails, a red top, and black trousers. She was dressed very fashionably. She had beautiful features and looked youthful!
"Who are you? What's the matter?" Ning Jing asked puzzledly!
