Together With the System to Become a Pharmacist at Once a Doctor
Chapter 78's
Wang Yao decided to stay in the cottage instead of going home. He made a simple dinner for himself. It was getting dark and the snow was not stopping. Wang Yao went to sleep after reading the scriptures for a while.
The next day, the snow did not stop. Wang Yao thought of a poem as he opened the door.
I opened the door in the morning and found the hill completely covered in snow!
Just as it is described in the poem. Wang Yao opened the door and found the hill covered in snow, like wearing a white coat.
Due to the snow, Wang Yao simply watered the licorice root. He did not water any other plants or go to practice on the hilltop. He sat in front of the house and practiced breathing instead.
Suddenly he heard footsteps.
Who'sis that?
Wang Yao opened his eyes and got up. He saw a shadow coming towards him. It was very visible in the snow.
Who will come to the hill at this time?
When that person approached, Wang Yao recognized that it was Wang Mingbao. He was in a hurry — it seemed like he had something urgent to tell Wang Yao. Wang Yao noticed that Wang Mingbao was very happy and excited.
“What's up? Come to the hills in such bad weather?” asked Wang Yao. “Don't say you're getting married?”
“No. It's my dad! He's gonna be mayor!" w.a.n.g Mingbao said excitedly.
“Really? Congratulations!" laughing Wang Yao. He had not expected Tian Tuyuan to be able to resolve this so quickly. This shows that Tian Tuyuan's good relations with the decision makers in the local government are really paying off.
“I have to thank you for this. The person you spoke to made it work,” Wang Mingbao said.
Wang Mingbao's father was greatly shocked and perplexed when he mentioned his new position to Wang Mingbao. He was almost certain he was not a candidate to take up the position of mayor. He believes senior officials in the local government have already made a decision on the appointment. They just haven't officially announced it yet. Only a very influential person can change that decision.
But Wang Mingbao's father definitely did not know who was helping him. And that's not a good time to ask. He decided to thank whoever helped him after he was appointed.
Wang Yao did not realize that Wang Mingbao suspected he was behind it all because Wang Mingbao had only told him about his father's potential promotion. Wang Mingbao recalled that Wang Yao promised him to ask someone for help.
“I'm not sure, he didn't tell me anything,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
“I really need to thank you for this!” wang Mingbao said, “Tell Me how much did you spend?”
As a businessman, Wang Mingbao suspected that Wang Yao had paid someone to help his father obtain the position of mayor. No one will help you for nothing. The more help, the more you have to pay.
“No, I didn't spend a dime. But I owe him a favor,” Wang Yao said.
“True!” Wang Mingbao frowned.
To some, help meant nothing, but to a person like Wang Yao, help was the hardest thing to reply to. Wang Mingbao knew Wang Yao well. Wang Yao was the honest person who valued friendship the most. He knew Wang Yao would try his best to return the favor.
“Let's talk about it later. Let me make you a cup of tea, "Wang Yao made a cup of black tea for Wang Mingbao. It is good to drink tea in winter.
“You don't get cold in the cottage? Inside it freezes, ” said Wang Mingbao. He looked around and found no heating.
“I'm used to it,” said Wang Yao. He's getting very fit.
“Above the hill it was very quiet. Do you really want to be a hermit? ” ask Wang Mingbao.
“Of course not,” laughter Wang Yao.
Wang Yao still had family, relatives, and friends. She also wants to get married and have children of her own in the future someday. He is still quite involved in the community. He won't be a hermit—it's impossible. He just likes a peaceful and slow lifestyle.
“I plan to decorate your new apartment after becoming warmer,” Wang Mingbao said.
“That sounds good. Not in a hurry at all. I am not a person who moves in any way, ” Wang Yao said.
“True,” said Wang Mingbao.
Even a fit person like Wang Mingbao began to shiver after sitting in the hut for a while. In fact, it was very cold in the cottage.
“I have to go. It's too cold in here. Come to my house for lunch. I have prepared food,” Wang Mingbao said.
“OK,” said Wang Yao.
Wang Yao locked the door of his cottage before heading to Wang Mingbao's house during the day. Wang Mingbao lived in the city most of the time while his parents lived in the village. His grandparents also lived in the village and Wang Mingbao visited them regularly.
Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao ate well with wine. They chatted and did not realize that it was already 1pm.
“Are you back on the hill in the afternoon?” ask Wang Mingbao.
“Yes, but don't be in a hurry,” Wang Yao looked outside. Snow is still coming down.
No one will go to the hills on a snowy day, let alone go to the hills. Most people don't even want to go out at all. It was cold and windy and it was much better to stay home watching TV and have some snacks. So, Wang Yao was in no hurry to return to the hill at all.
