Zhao Xiaohua and Liu Hua brought a lot of things over.

An old hen, a basket of eggs, a bag of brown sugar, peanuts, dried fruits, white flour, etc.

"Brother Hua, Xiaohua, why did you bring so many things here? Even if you want to thank us, just show your appreciation. These days, it's not easy for everyone."

Although Zhao Xiaohua's visit to express her gratitude was not within his expectations, it was not too surprising either.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for him, it's not certain whether Zhao Xiaohua would be able to have offspring in the future.

After all, her illness becomes more difficult to treat the longer it lasts.

It will be more difficult to treat when you get older.

He is a health worker and it is his responsibility to treat people.

But the patients he cured, especially those with difficult and complicated diseases, will be grateful as long as they still have a conscience.

Although Zhou Ziwen didn't care, others kept it in mind.

"Team leader, we are here to thank you. If it weren't for you, we don't know what would have happened. If we had delayed any further, our lives would have been over."

Zhao Xiaohua and Liu Hua looked at Zhou Ziwen with gratitude.

What people say is scary. In this era, people have simple ideas. If you don’t have children, there will be no one to take care of you in your old age.

There is no confidence if no one provides for retirement.

Especially in the countryside, if a family doesn't have children, gossip is inevitable.

Isn’t this what those aunties and grandmas talk about when they get together?

Even if there weren't all this gossip, I would still be suspicious when I go out, always feeling that other people's eyes are not right.

This will increase the psychological pressure and have a greater impact on childbirth.

"Even if you want to express your gratitude, there's no need to give so many gifts! Here, you can take the old hen and eggs back later."

"Xiaohua is pregnant. Eat better and supplement your nutrition."

Zhou Ziwen spoke.

"It's okay, we still have some at home."

Zhao Xiaohua waved her hand.

Her family's conditions are really not bad, otherwise she wouldn't have accepted a live-in son-in-law.

"We have some too, Sister Xiaohua. We have a few chicks and some old hens that lay eggs. You don't have to be so polite."

On the side, Chen Qiaoyi also spoke up to persuade.

"What's yours is yours, and what I send is our heartfelt gift."

At this time, Zhao Xiaohua seemed particularly stubborn.

No matter what Zhou Ziwen and the two sisters said, it was useless.

It was dinner time, and after delivering the food, Zhao Xiaohua and Liu Hua prepared to leave.

"Xiaohua, wait a moment. I'll write you a prescription. You can get the medicine yourself later!"

Since Zhao Xiaohua came by herself, Zhou Ziwen simply gave her the prescription for pregnancy-maintaining medicine and asked her to ask Zhu Jianguo to get the medicine.

"Thank you, Team Leader."

Zhao Xiaohua and his wife hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"fine."

Zhou Ziwen waved his hand, then went back into the house and started prescribing medicine.

He had just examined Zhao Xiaohua, so there was no need to re-examine her and he could prescribe the medicine directly.

After writing the prescription, Zhao Xiaohua and his wife expressed their gratitude again, and then left with smiles on their faces.

"Ziwen, Sister Xiaohua sent a lot of things."

After everyone left, Chen Shiying looked at the pile of things and said.

"It's a bit much, but it's okay. I'll just return it when I have the chance."

Zhou Ziwen frowned and thought for a while.

Favors are just a give-and-take thing!

The thank-you gift Zhao Xiaohua sent was a bit too much, but it was no big deal. He would find a way to return it when the child’s hundred-day party came.

And in the future, you can send me some of the wild game that Taoyun catches in the mountains from time to time.

Pregnant women need to ensure their body nutrition.

In this day and age, people don’t usually have much meat to eat, but his family has no shortage of meat, so any help would be appreciated.

Just consider it as a way to repay her for such a generous thank you.

"Well, let's remember it and don't forget it when the time comes."

Chen Shiying nodded.

"Yeah, okay."

Looking at Chen Shiying, who was like a virtuous daughter-in-law, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but feel a surge of love in his heart.

With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

…

It's getting late after delaying for so long.

The two sisters quickened their cooking speed and soon finished lunch.

After lunch, Zhou Ziwen took a nap.

Zhou Ziwen didn't get up from the kang until the announcement for work in the afternoon sounded.

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, he planned to go to a mushroom growing base.

The construction over there is going very fast.

Hundreds of people do this every day, it's impossible not to be fast.

Zhou Ziwen estimated that at the current speed, the project would be completed in about half a month.

After starting work, Zhou Ziwen went to the construction site and checked the progress of the construction.

"Ziwen, are you done with your work?"

After a while, Wu Dagang came over.

He is still very concerned about Captain Zhao's affairs.

"Just a little bit more..."

Zhou Ziwen briefly explained what had happened.

"So, you can perform surgery on people alone?"

Wu Dagang opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"It can be done, but it requires surgical equipment. Our clinic doesn't have the facilities for that."

Zhou Ziwen saw what the old man was thinking at a glance.

"Alas, what a pity."

Wu Dagang sighed.

But at the same time he was relieved.

The more outstanding Zhou Ziwen was, the more worried he became.

It is human nature for people to strive for higher goals.

A talented person like Zhou Ziwen would definitely not stay in the countryside all his life.

Now he only hopes that Zhou Ziwen can complete the mushroom cultivation base before leaving.

Even if Zhou Ziwen leaves in the future, this place will be able to operate normally.

Having reached this level, he will be able to rest in peace even if he goes to the underworld.

"Okay, I'll take care of this. You can go do your thing. I know Zhao Yonghua, he's a good guy. If you can help him, please do so."

Wu Dagang instructed.

"Okay, I'll go back first then."

Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen was delighted.

He didn't expect that Wu Dagang would actually take the initiative to ask him to go back.

"Go!"

Wu Dagang waved his hand.

He also knew that Zhou Ziwen didn't like staying here.

But Wu Dagang also has his own ideas.

First of all, the design of the mushroom cultivation base was made by Zhou Ziwen himself.

Zhou Ziwen knows best what it will look like after it is formed.

Secondly, Zhou Ziwen is the leader of the Mushroom Group. His full participation will also make him more prestigious.

Although Wu Dagang had never told him these things, Zhou Ziwen could guess them.

Zhou Ziwen did not refuse because he knew Wu Dagang had good intentions.

In fact, he didn't attach much importance to mushroom cultivation bases and the like.

After all, the technology of growing mushrooms is just a drop in the bucket for him.

After working in the countryside for so long, my various skills have become mature.

Any one of them can ensure a comfortable life. If it is just for living, he doesn't need to be so busy.

It’s just that life is not easy for everyone these days.

If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.

He thought he had some ability.

If you are able, you can help improve the living conditions in the village. (End of this chapter)
