Chapter 187: Coming and Going (1)
The next day, the weather was particularly nice. Carolline Ruiz had been here for almost two weeks, and she and Gavin Campbell hadn’t taken a day off. That morning, the three of them had just sat down to have breakfast together, intending to go to work after the meal, when the Village Chief came in.
"Today, the village seeks rain, so there won’t be anyone going to the clinic. You guys should take a day off, especially Dr. Zhang and Carolline, who haven’t had a break since they arrived. Andy Aguirre too, who has only been here a few days and has already encountered such severe situations."
Every year before the busy farming season, under the leadership of the Village Chief, the villagers would follow him to the desolate temple in the village to pray for rain and a good harvest in the coming year. On this day, even if someone had a minor illness or pain, they didn’t need to seek medical help.
His wife, along with several other women, had been busy since five in the morning and wouldn’t have time to cook for them at noon. Therefore, they could only go to the temple to eat at noon.
"At half past twelve, you all should come to the temple for lunch. Your aunt won’t have time to bring you food today. Okay, I have to go out and prepare things now, so make yourselves at home."
After giving instructions, the Village Chief left.
Gavin Campbell ate four big steamed buns. The steamed buns were personally steamed by the Village Chief’s wife and tasted incredibly delicious. Carolline Ruiz could eat two of them, as well as eggs.
"So, how are we going to arrange our day today?" After eating, Carolline Ruiz washed all their dishes. She went to check on the chicken coop and, upon returning, heard Gavin Campbell asking Andy Aguirre excitedly.
