Chapter 239 A Secret Meeting
Jiang Zhizhi was so startled that she almost dropped the garlic in her hand: "Mom, don't worry, I just started learning today. Wait until I've learned it."
Fang Hua didn't mind: "It's okay, just try pricking me, and then put a plaster on me."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I can put a plaster on you, but I can't do acupuncture. My teacher said that acupuncture can save lives or kill with one needle. I dare not. I'll talk about it after I learn it."
Fang Hua glanced at Jiang Zhizhi, who was peeling garlic with her sleeves rolled up, revealing a section of her fair arm dotted with tiny red spots.
"Then practice with my arm; it's much more effective than this cabbage stalk."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't dare: "Mom, let's talk about it later. Let me study it first. I'll learn something simple first."
Fang Hua had high hopes for Jiang Zhizhi: "Studying medicine requires courage, but you don't need to be afraid. Many barefoot doctors can go to the countryside to treat patients after attending a seven-day training course. And in our hospital, many people who haven't studied medicine dare to give injections."
Jiang Zhizhi knew that the current medical environment was like this: many people had never learned how to give intramuscular injections, yet they still dared to pick up a syringe and inject into their buttocks, which could easily damage the sciatic nerve.
For dinner, Fang Hua cooked rice, stir-fried pickled cabbage and glass noodles with lard, and added some dried chili peppers.
It's sour and spicy, and goes very well with rice.
When Zhou Chengzhi returned and saw the food, he frowned: "Why have we been eating rice all the time these past few days? Aren't there any noodles?"
Fang Hua was still giving him the cold shoulder, her face hardening: "No, eat it or don't, it's up to you."
Zhou Chengzhi didn't yell at Fang Hua today. He turned to look at Zhou Xiaochuan, who was eating in silence, and asked, "Your hand is almost healed. What are you planning to do during this time before the New Year?"
Zhou Xiaochuan remained silent; he really had no idea.
Since Wang Xiaoliu got into trouble, he definitely can't go to customs.
He's not happy about going to Xinjiang after the New Year. He agreed readily, but now he's hesitant. He's heard that Xinjiang has nothing, and if he wants to go to the city to buy things, he has to travel a long way.
They didn't even have a decent house; many people were still living in dugouts.
He... didn't really want to go.
Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan's pathetic state, Zhou Chengzhi couldn't help but get angry: "I'm asking you a question, and you can't even utter a fart. Before the New Year, you should think about what to do. You can't just lie at home every day and wait for your mother to cook for you."
Zhou Xiaochuan's face flushed red, but he dared not refute Zhou Chengzhi.
Fang Hua surprisingly remained silent, and placed a piece of vermicelli on Jiang Zhizhi's plate: "There's a cold front these days, the weather's bad, so don't ride your bike, I'll call a car to take you."
Jiang Zhizhi felt that it was okay to use some of the resources of the compound occasionally, but it was too special to be picked up and dropped off by car every day: "I'll see tomorrow. If the weather is good, I'll ride my bike and treat it as exercise."
After hearing this, Zhou Chengzhi suddenly thought of something: "Old Jiang's house has been allocated, and he's moving back soon. We should have a meal together then."
Speaking of this, Fang Hua seemed to have forgotten about her cold war with Zhou Chengzhi and took the initiative to talk to him: "Aren't Jiang Zhenhua and Song Wanying confused? Why did they keep Sun Xiaoyue by their side? Didn't they say that Sun Xiaoyue wasn't their biological daughter?"
"Tell me who was behind this back then, and where is their biological daughter?"
Zhou Chengzhi had obviously heard about this as well, and he couldn't figure it out either: "Who could Jiang Zhenhua have offended to set up such a big trap?"
Fang Hua was also puzzled: "And this Sun Xiaoyue..."
He glared at Zhou Xiaochuan and said, "You should stay away from her. That girl could sell you out in a heartbeat. If you don't listen, then you can marry her and live separately."
Zhou Xiaochuan felt a little wronged: "I didn't say anything, so why are you talking about me?"
Fang Hua frowned: "You used to listen to her a lot. I'm just giving you a heads-up, so you don't end up being sold off and then eagerly counting the money."
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't say anything more, he just didn't understand why Fang Hua had such a big problem with Sun Xiaoyue.
Sun Xiaoyue grew up in the countryside and suffered so much. Now that she's thinking more about herself, it doesn't seem wrong, does it?
Aren't all people selfish?
Fang Hua's words reminded Jiang Zhizhi that the person behind Sun Xiaoyue had not yet come out and had not made a sound.
She is now extremely curious about what the person behind Sun Xiaoyue is up to.
They switched the child and brought Sun Xiaoyue in to cause trouble for everyone.
Just to see Sun Xiaoyue act like a green tea bitch everywhere?
...
Zhou Xiye still hadn't returned by the day before New Year's Day.
I haven't called home either.
Jiang Zhizhi plans to use her New Year's Day holiday to visit Zhou Xiye, even if it's just to have a meal together.
It's been almost twenty days since I last saw him, and I still miss him a lot.
I was thinking about this during class, which is why I didn't hear the teacher praising Sun Xiaoyue.
It wasn't until Sun Xiaoyue stood up and turned to bow shyly to everyone that Jiang Zhizhi came to her senses and asked Ge Qinghua in surprise, "Why did she stand up?"
Ge Qinghua leaned closer and whispered, "We have an anatomy class, and she said she could get a few rabbits for everyone."
Jiang Zhizhi paused for a moment, then muttered softly, "She's quite resourceful."
Ge Qinghua nodded: "Yes, and the teachers didn't mention retaking the exam for her. Maybe her parents used their connections?"
Jiang Zhizhi frowned. Jiang Zhenhua shouldn't be like that. Although Jiang Zhenhua usually acts like a nice guy, he can still distinguish right from wrong very clearly.
He might use his connections to get Sun Xiaoyue into school, but he would never help her cheat.
It's also unlikely that Song Wanying has that many connections.
So, whose relationship did Sun Xiaoyue use?
It's obvious that it's the person behind her.
Due to the cold weather, fog rolled in early in the afternoon when school was over.
Everything was a white expanse, with visibility less than ten meters.
Jiang Zhizhi pushed the cart and Ge Qinghua out of the school gate. She vaguely saw Sun Xiaoyue get into a car, which drove away quickly and disappeared into the thick fog.
...
Zhou Xiye still hadn't returned by New Year's Day.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't leave until almost noon, afraid that if she went too early, Zhou Xiye and the others would still be training or in class. She could only meet them during lunchtime.
Before leaving, I also packed a few pumpkin sugar pancakes that Fang Hua had fried that morning. They were still sweet and delicious even when they were cold.
The school where Zhou Xiye was studying was not far from his home, only five or six kilometers away.
The area in the direction of Phoenix Ridge is somewhat remote, and there are few pedestrians on the road.
Jiang Zhizhi rode her bicycle along the tire tracks. When she was almost at school, she saw Sun Xiaoyue carrying a bag of things and walking towards the school.
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then got out of the car with some confusion. She watched as Sun Xiaoyue went to the gatehouse and then waited, stamping her feet.
A short while later, Zhou Xiye came out and walked towards Sun Xiaoyue.
Jiang Zhizhi: ? ? ?
