The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 186: Return to the Village_1

The employees at the vegetable shop were mostly recruited from Peach Blossom Village, and earning over a thousand yuan a month, they were already thrilled beyond measure.

They had never expected that there would actually be a bonus at the end of the year.

After making rounds at the three stores, Greg Jensen headed to the Nancheng branch.

Amber Hall was helping the staff clean up when she looked up and saw Greg, and she couldn’t help but stare, thinking she was seeing things.

“Hello, boss!”

“Haha, no need to call me boss, just call me Brother Greg.”

Greg said with a chuckle, “We’re all from the same village, no need to be so formal.”

Big companies talk about systems, small businesses talk about human relationships.

This vegetable shop was not big, and including Amber, there were only six employees. With such a small team, talking about systems to them would only destroy their enthusiasm.

Greg spent some time chatting with the employees downstairs, asking about their living and accommodation conditions, and then followed Amber to the small office upstairs.

As soon as they entered the office, Amber locked the door and then, without a word, threw herself at Greg, kissing him directly.

“Hey, sister-in-law, stop it, this is an office.”

“I can’t help it. Who made you forget people once your pants are back on?”

Amber said with a grievance, “After you’ve had your fill of me, you don’t care anymore, not even a phone call in over a month.”

“I… Ow… ”

Greg quickly transitioned from feeling despondent to an excited state.

Although Amber wasn’t particularly gentle, she was understanding.

Especially that kind of consideration that took his entire being into account, it gave Greg a kind of indescribable satisfaction.

Who knows how long it was before the office finally quieted down, but the air still floated with a provocative scent.

“Stop it now, I have to get back to the village.”

“Can I go back with you?”

“You’d better stay here and watch the shop.”

“Hmph, it’s just that you don’t want to be with me.”

“That’s not true.”

Amber carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on Greg’s clothes and touched up her makeup, then sent him out of the store with a satisfied expression.

“Drive slowly on the way back.”

“I know.”

After leaving the branch, Greg felt a headache coming on. He thought about going by the hotel but, considering that he would have to contribute his share of public grain again, he simply turned the car around and headed straight for Peach Blossom Village.

Lindsey Wolfe’s vegetable shop was as busy as ever, with an endless stream of people coming and going.

When Greg walked in, she was bending over to arrange the vegetables, her full and plump figure tightly wrapped by her trousers, unreservedly displayed in front of him.

He swallowed and said with a smile, “Auntie, I’m back.”

“Ah!”

Lindsey Wolfe was startled, and she straightened up abruptly like she was electrocuted, her large fruits trembling with her movement.

“Greg, when did you get back?”

“Just arrived.”

Greg’s gaze was still somewhat fixed as he blurted out, “Did you miss me?”

Lindsey Wolfe’s face turned red instantly, and she murmured with her head down, “Mmh, I did.”

“Uh, I’m going back to the village first, you should come back early tonight. Isn’t it your birthday today? I bought a cake.”

“Oh, okay… okay,”

Lindsey Wolfe replied without raising her head.

The shop quieted down again, and when she looked up, Greg was already gone.

Her heart suddenly felt a bit empty, but then thinking about seeing him again that evening, she suddenly smiled.

After leaving the vegetable store, Greg Jensen didn’t go straight back to the village, but instead made a detour to visit Old Liu.

Old Liu wasn’t at home at the time, and after asking around, Greg found out that for the past few days, he had been at Peach Blossom Village, supposedly overseeing the medicinal herb base.

Greg smiled and drove back to Peach Blossom Village.

“Greg is back.”

“Well if it isn’t Silly Greg.”

“He’s not silly anymore, you shouldn’t call him that anymore.”

“Right, right, I forgot.”

Peach Blossom Village used to be a poor village, but under the leadership of Lindsey Wolfe, they all started growing medicinal herbs and vegetables.

Now they were earning a lot more money than before.

In the past, it was rare to see meat during the New Year festivities, but now they could afford to eat meat more regularly.

Therefore, the villagers were very grateful to Lindsey Wolfe, and by association, Greg also reaped some benefits. Every villager he met would stop to greet him with incredible warmth.

Seeing the smiling faces of the villagers made Greg himself feel happy and fulfilled.

Back at home, looking at the spacious and well-lit room, with the bed sheet and quilt neatly laid out, Greg felt an indescribable tranquility.

This was a room Lindsey Wolfe had specifically prepared for him.

It was clear, in the time that he had been away, that Lindsey had been cleaning regularly; the room was spotless and there was even a thoughtfully placed wicker chair in the corner.

The wicker chair was a remnant of Greg’s father’s. It had been left at the front door and had not been brought in during the fire, thus sparing it from destruction.

Moreover, the damaged parts of it had already been repaired by someone.

“Greg is back?”

Turning around, Greg saw Second Uncle coming in and he quickly smiled, “Second Uncle, I’m back.”

“Hmm, when did you get back?” Second Uncle asked with a smile.

Greg smiled, “Just got back. It’s Aunt’s birthday today, I came back especially to celebrate with her.”

Second Uncle laughed, “Haha, our Silly Greg is so thoughtful.”

Greg’s face turned red, and he said sheepishly, “Second Uncle, I’m not silly anymore.”

“Hahaha.”

Second Uncle seemed to think of something very amusing and laughed heartily, leaving Greg no choice but to smile along.

“Are you going to leave again this time?” Second Uncle inquired.

“Well, I’ve got some business set up in the city, and we’re about to start work soon,” Greg replied.

Second Uncle hesitated, then sighed, “When you have time, come back to visit more often. It’s not easy for Freya to be taking care of the child alone.”

“I know, Second Uncle.”

Greg smiled somewhat unnaturally. He understood what Second Uncle meant, but he didn’t know how to respond to this kind of matter.

“Second Uncle, come over for dinner tonight, okay? I’ll cook a few dishes, and we can have a drink, just us men.”

“Alright, I’ll let Third Uncle and the others know, too,” Second Uncle agreed.

“Great.”

After sending Second Uncle off, Greg sighed helplessly, took the groceries he had bought from the car, and started preparing dinner.

Greg had quite a talent for cooking, and though he hadn’t cooked much recently, his skills hadn’t dulled in the slightest.

In less than two and a half hours, he had prepared a whole table of dishes.

Esther Jensen had just finished school. Carrying her little backpack, she followed the delicious aroma and walked in, “What smells so good?”

“Is Esther back?”

“Ah, Silly Greg brother.”

Seeing Greg had returned, the little girl’s face broke into a sweet smile. She threw her backpack aside and jumped into Greg’s arms.

Looking up at him with her little head, she asked, “Silly Greg brother, did you bring me something tasty?”

“I did, I brought you a whole bunch of snacks. They’re all in the trunk, you can get them yourself.”

“Okay!”
