"Head Nurse Ge, this is the first draft I wrote. Do you think it's suitable?" Qin Yao called Head Nurse Ge before leaving get off work and handed her the manuscript she wrote. She didn't feel nervous at all. She had seen many clients in modern times and wrote many papers when she was in school. She was used to revising the manuscripts again and again. She had the patience. At most, she would revise it a few more times and she would always be able to satisfy the client.

Head Nurse Ge was stunned: "You've finished writing it already? How many words are there?"

"I wrote 10,000 words, probably more than 10,000 words, I didn't count carefully." Qin Yao said lightly. In her opinion, 10,000 words were nothing. Before she transmigrated into a book, she was an editor and had communicated with many authors.

For future online writers, writing 3,000 words a day is considered slow; those who write 6,000, 10,000, or even 20,000 words a day are numerous.

Writing ten thousand words in a few days is nothing to her.

Qin Yao didn't know what kind of stories Head Nurse Ge liked, so she wrote according to her own ideas, calling it a character story, which was equivalent to a micro-novel, and added some lyricism at the end.

Qin Yao has read too many exciting novels in modern times, so she subconsciously added twists and various exciting points to the story of Head Nurse Ge. She wrote Head Nurse Ge as the heroine of an inspirational novel, and made the 10,000-word plot full of ups and downs.

After reading it, I felt refreshed and moved!

"Let me see..." Head Nurse Ge picked up the manuscript. She didn't have any expectations, but when she finished reading the first page, her anticipation was maxed out. This was clearly a story that happened to her, so why was she so looking forward to what would happen next?

yes! The patient remembered her kindness and came to apologize to her!

That’s right, she is so humble and eager to learn!

"Xiao Qin, you wrote it so well!" Head Nurse Ge held the manuscript in her arms, wishing she could leave it to her children as an heirloom. No wonder the ancients wanted to "write a book and a biography". Such a short ten thousand words is her, Ge Yunxia's life biography.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Head Nurse Ge, is there anything else you want to change?"

"No need to change it, just this one. I have to take it home and show it to my husband." Head Nurse Ge was so excited that she couldn't express it in words. This article was so well written, without any pretentiousness. Instead, it made people feel passionate after reading it. It can be regarded as an inspirational example.

"Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin, wait a minute." Head Nurse Ge quickly opened her drawer, took out a pack of unopened malted milk, and stuffed it into Qin Yao's arms. "Xiao Qin, thank you for your hard work. Take it back and drink it. You have lost weight recently. Thank you for worrying about me."

Qin Yao was extremely embarrassed: "Okay, then I'll keep it."

Why does everyone say she is thin? She is obviously not thin now. At most, she is well-proportioned. There are a lot of girls in the unit who are as skinny as monkeys.

"Head Nurse Ge, please go back and take a closer look. Tell me if there are any problems and I will make some changes."

"Okay." Head Nurse Ge smiled happily. She didn't care about anything else at this moment. She just hoped that her mortal enemy could read this 10,000-word article and know about her heroic deeds. "I'll contact reporter Sun later and use your article and add your name as the correspondent. When it's published in the newspaper, the unit will give you a part of the reward. I'll give it all to you."

Head Nurse Ge's article was published in the newspaper, but the newspaper will not receive any royalties. But the hospital will provide unit rewards. After all, it has been featured in print media and you can get a bonus of a few dollars.

Qin Yao worked so hard to help her write, but only got these few dollars. Ge Yunxia felt extremely guilty. In her opinion, these ten thousand words were "very valuable", at least worth a hundred dollars!

After all, she owed Xiao Qin.

Qin Yao went downstairs holding a bag of malted milk. Gu Cheng came to find her and took her to the grocery store to buy meat. He still remembered what he had said a few days ago, that they should go to Gao's house to buy meat, cook and show off their "skills".

Like most men in this world, Gu Cheng loves to eat pork, especially the fat and lean pork belly. He had asked someone to save two kilograms of it for him.

Qin Yao: "Buy some crabs."

Comrade Xiao Qin didn't have high expectations for Comrade Gu's cooking skills, so he bought some crabs and shrimps, which would not easily go bad whether steamed or blanched.

She doesn't believe that steaming blue crabs can turn out to be a disaster!

Gu Cheng said: "Crabs are cold and not suitable for girls to eat too much."

"I just love eating crabs, buy them."

After buying the crabs, they ordered some grouper, oysters, and clams. The two of them carried a bunch of things to Gao's house. Chen Baozhen had already returned from school. When she saw them, she was happy and surprised, "You're here, and you brought so many things!"

"I bought a chicken today, and Lao Gao said he would make chicken soup for you. You must try Lao Gao's cooking skills. I'll help him."

Gu Cheng said quickly: "You don't need to help. I will be the chef today. You women wait outside."

Chen Baozhen was stunned. Gu Cheng, this devil, came to her house to be the chef? Does he want others to be thrown into the frying pan or walked on the mountain of knives?

"Ask your Lao Gao to help me today, and I'll make chicken soup."

After saying that, Gu Cheng took the initiative and walked into Gao's kitchen with full of vigor.

Chen Baozhen was dumbfounded.

She pulled Qin Yao and whispered to the corner, "What has provoked this guy?"

Qin Yao whispered, "He wants you to praise him."

Chen Baozhen's eyes almost popped out of her head. "Is he crazy? He wants me to praise him?"

"He said that Dr. He came to your house and cooked a meal. You always praised Dr. He before, but never praised him. Next time, just say a few more good things about him in front of him. You know how competitive men are."

Chen Baozhen was in a daze.

Gao Jianguo came back carrying a basket of onions, ginger and garlic. Today he and Chen Baozhen had agreed that they would open a husband-and-wife shop. The two of them were busy in the kitchen, he as the chef and Chen Baozhen as his assistant. The couple cooked happily together.

Let Captain Gu and Xiao Qin know what a sweet couple it is, with the husband singing and the wife following their lead.

"Baozhen, I'm back. Xiao Qin is here too? He's here, just in time. You and Captain Gu sit outside. Is the tea ready? Where's Captain Gu?" Gao Jianguo gave the two women an honest smile.

Chen Baozhen's mouth twitched: "Captain Gu is in the kitchen."

"Why is he in the kitchen?"

Gao Jianguo rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen. Gu Cheng glanced back and saw him, and immediately called out, "Here I am. You're out of onions, ginger, and garlic. Have you bought the garlic? Go and smash the garlic."

Gu Cheng was busy all the time, directing Gao Jianguo to make preparations.

Gao Jianguo stood stupidly at the kitchen door, almost thinking that he had entered the wrong house. Who was this man in front of him, with his sleeves rolled up, wearing an apron, and ruthlessly slashing with a knife?

Gu Cheng cut the crab shell in two with one knife, revealing the orange crab roe. He cleaned out the internal organs and moved on to the next one.

Gu Cheng frowned and asked, "Your yard is so big? Haven't you thought of growing some onions, ginger and garlic?"

Captain Gu never expected that there was a family in the staff compound who had no onions, ginger, or garlic in their kitchen. It would have been fine if there were no onions, ginger, or garlic in the kitchen, but there were none in the yard either.

Gao Jianguo felt aggrieved: "I planted it on the second-floor balcony, but it didn't grow well." Now it has become a pot.

His Baozhen is so unreasonable. She never likes to water the plants. The plants planted in the ground are fine, but the plants planted in pots are all ruined.

Gu Cheng shook his head and gave the couple a “failed” rating in his heart.

"Hurry up and crush the garlic. Crush more garlic so that you can help me later."

Gao Jianguo subconsciously reached for the kitchen knife to smash the garlic. After smashing one garlic, he felt something was wrong. Why should he listen to Gu Cheng?

Whose house is this?

Gao Jianguo put down the kitchen knife and said, "Captain Gu, why did you come to my house?"

Gu Cheng: "Cooking."

"Why?"

Gu Cheng paused: "In order to let your wife praise me in front of Yaoyao."

"A man's desire to get married - can you understand that?"

Gao Jianguo picked up the kitchen knife. He was going crazy: "..."

He doesn't understand, please get married quickly!

Qin Yao and Chen Baozhen were sitting in the yard. Chen Baozhen was cutting a pineapple with a knife. This was a scented pineapple, a very sweet variety of pineapple that did not need to be soaked in salt water. Chen Baozhen loved it very much.

What satisfied her most on this island was the fruit. No matter what kind of fruit it was, it was so sweet that it was deadly sweet.

Some fruits are so sweet that they seem to taste like fermented wine.

Qin Yao laughed at her: "Why don't you let me do it, your skin looks like it was chewed by a dog."

"Your captain Gu is busy in the kitchen, so let me help you outside." Chen Baozhen said, and then continued: "Today, Lao Gao and I want to thank you for your advice. Wang Chunhua has paid back the money, and everyone has paid back the money."

The last time Chen Baozhen told the women's director about Wang Chunhua, a few days later, Wang Chunhua came to her house to pay back the money and all the other debts.

"I heard from some sisters-in-law that Wang Chunhua hid a lot of money at home and didn't give it to her husband's family or her own family. The director sent someone to her hometown to investigate, and now her true colors are exposed."

"She borrowed a total of one or two thousand. I guess she plans to borrow another sum and leave with her children. By then, will she have to pay back the money in the future?"

No matter how far away they are, these creditors on the island cannot go all the way to the home of their comrade's widow to ask for money just for a few dozen or two hundred dollars.

One or two thousand was equivalent to her three years' salary. Chen Baozhen was convinced by Wang Chunhua and almost made her succeed.

"The money has been returned, and the director told us not to make a big deal out of it, so we just talked about it privately."

"She also said that we have lent out too much money, and the others are only a few dozen yuan..."

Qin Yao laughed: "I said you two are stupid and have a lot of money."

"That's strange. Lao Gao's family doesn't have much money."

The two were talking in the yard when a piece of mud suddenly hit them, followed by the noisy sounds of children, "Ohhhhh!!!"

"Teacher Chen, smile! Teacher Chen, smile!"

Chen Baozhen frowned, she was annoyed: "The old and the young are here, they are all shameless."

Qin Yao: "What?"

"The leader was the widow's child. After the money was paid back, her child led other children to quarrel outside my yard. They didn't do anything but quarrel and throw mud and stones."

"Lao Gao told me to be patient, but I can't bear it anymore. I'm still going to endure it. What kind of mother will raise what kind of child."

Seeing Chen Baozhen rushing forward aggressively, Qin Yao quickly stopped her and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Chen Baozhen said angrily: "I scolded them away."

Qin Yao laughed: "You are an elementary school teacher, but these little kids are unreasonable. The more you scold them, the more they laugh at you."

Chen Baozhen was silent for three seconds. She pulled Qin Yao's sleeve and said, "Yaoyao, you are right. It is useless for me to scold you. Go to the kitchen and call your captain Gu to come out."

"I don't believe these kids are afraid of him."

Qin Yao: “…”

"Yaoyao, you don't have to worry about this in the future. Your Captain Gu's cold face is unbearable for not only children but also adults."

To be honest, Qin Yao doesn’t really think that Gu Cheng has a bad temper now. She thinks it’s all Chen Baozhen’s misunderstanding.

"Baozhen, how about we try another method first?"
