After work, the group of people who usually rushed home to cook changed their behavior and went straight to Zhou's house. Li Tingman and several other educated youth even ran ahead of a group of aunts and grandmas.
The Zhou family's gate was closed, but Zhou Songbai saw that it was almost time to get off work at noon, and thought of the gossipy nature of the people in the village, so he just locked the gate.
The group of people were anxious all morning and were not willing to leave easily, so they blocked the place and banged on the door and called for help.
Li Tingman smelled the sweaty smell coming from the surroundings and covered her nose with her hands. "Let's go back first and come back after dinner."
Mu Ziwei and the others nodded immediately, held their breath, squeezed out of the crowd, and took a few deep breaths.
Meng Zhiyu was also woken by the knocking at the door. He closed his eyes and turned over, wanting to take another nap, when he heard Zhou's mother's voice, "What are you yelling for? What are you yelling for? Why are you standing at my door instead of going home to cook?"
Mrs. Zhao was the most anxious. "Mrs. Nanzhu, how are your two grandsons?" Are they dead?
Zhou's mother naturally didn't think she was concerned about her grandson, and she didn't give her a good look, "My grandson is naturally fine."
Looking at the crowd outside the door, I knew that even if these people left, they would come back, so I simply told them what they wanted to know, "My sons Tiedan and Donkey are lucky to have met Meng Zhiqing. Meng Zhiqing is also a kind-hearted man. He stayed up all night last night looking for medicine in the mountains. He rushed back early this morning, boiled some medicine for my two grandsons, and made sure they were all right before going to bed."
He glanced at the disappointed Mrs. Zhao and said, "Mrs. Zhao, you seem disappointed that my grandson is fine!"
Mother Zhou snorted coldly, not wanting to listen to what she said anymore. She immediately drove everyone away, "Everyone, go back. After lunch, we have to go to work in the afternoon."
After sending off the group of people with their own thoughts, Zhou's mother turned around and saw Meng Zhiyu, who was washing his face with a ladle in one hand and the other. A smile immediately spread across her face, and she trotted over, "Hey, Meng Zhiqing, let me help you."
Meng Zhiyu wiped the water droplets off her face and said, "No need, Auntie, I'm done washing."
Zhou's mother handed her a towel and said, "This is a new towel. No one has used it before."
Meng Zhiyu thanked him, wiped his face and went to check on Tiedan and the other man. The Zhou family members didn't dare to breathe and just watched Meng Zhiyu take their pulses quietly.
"The pulse is much better. After taking two more doses of medicine, the toxins in the body should be gone." Meng Zhiyu smiled at the Zhou family members who were staring at each other waiting for the result.
She also breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt happy and satisfied.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou Er cried with joy, and Mr. Zhou Lao Da and Mr. Zhou Er also grinned with joy, clenching their fists. Zhou Songbai supported his father and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling suddenly relieved.
Mother Zhou grabbed Meng Zhiyu's hands and choked up, saying, "I don't know how to express my gratitude to you. I really appreciate you."
If these two children really died, Zhou's father, who was in poor health, would definitely not be able to bear it, and the eldest and second sons and their couples would definitely break up.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou Er also came over, hugged Zhou's mother and grabbed Meng Zhiyu's hands, kept thanking them, and bent their legs to kneel down. Meng Zhiyu quickly moved away.
Mother Zhou slapped each of them on the arm and said, "Didn't I tell you not to kneel before Meng Zhiqing? It will shorten his lifespan. You are repaying kindness with enmity."
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou Er were also very happy after being beaten, and quickly got up. "I was so excited that I forgot for a moment."
Meng Zhiyu looked at the Zhou family members who were laughing and crying in the room, and felt sad. "Auntie, Sister Zhou and Sister Zhou, you don't have to be like this. I'm just doing the best I can."
She just wanted to try her best to save two little lives and do it with a clear conscience.
At least Meng Zhiyu had breakfast, but Zhou's mother and the others hadn't had a bite to eat or drink since last night. Zhou's mother specially killed two hens and baked a steamed bun.
"Meng Zhiqing, come and eat chicken legs." Zhou's mother picked up two big chicken legs for Meng Zhiyu.
Zhou Songbai took the other chicken's two legs and said, "There are two more."
Meng Zhiyu looked at the four chicken legs in the bowl and said, "...Auntie, Comrade Zhou, I can't eat so much. Two will be enough."
He then placed one in an empty bowl and returned it to Mother Zhou, "One for you and Uncle Zhou."
It is most suitable for Zhou's father and mother.
Mother Zhou smiled broadly, "Okay."
Father Zhou also smiled and nodded, "Why call me Comrade Zhou? Just call me Zhou San. And the eldest and second brothers, you can treat them like brothers."
Mother Zhou followed up and agreed, "That's right, your uncle Zhou is more careful. Auntie didn't pay attention to this. If you have any problems in the future, just call anyone. If they don't listen, tell Auntie and I will take care of them."
After lunch, Meng Zhiyu went to check on Tiedan and Ludan. Mrs. Zhou smiled, squinting her swollen eyes. "Just now, my second sister-in-law and I fed them a bowl of millet porridge and gave them medicine as you instructed. They fell asleep soon after."
Meng Zhiyu took their pulses and confirmed that their condition had stabilized. "Well, I'll come back to see them tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll be fine after another drink tonight."
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou's eyes narrowed even more. "Oh, okay, okay, thank you very much, Meng Zhiqing. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."
Meng Zhiyu didn't refuse. "If I need help in the future, I will definitely come to my two sisters-in-law."
Declining the Zhou family's invitation to stay, Meng Zhiyu temporarily returned to the educated youth's yard, boiled some water, washed himself, and rolled around on the kang. He felt more comfortable in his own territory.
Meng Zhiyu thought about the unfinished lessons from yesterday and was about to finish them when he heard Wangcai say, "Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for saving two lives and receiving a blind box as a system reward."
Meng Zhiyu was a little surprised, "There's a reward for saving people?"
Wangcai shook his head. "It's also based on the degree. As long as you reach the reward standard, the system will automatically trigger the reward mechanism and then distribute the reward."
Meng Zhiyu opened the blind box and what came into view was a very exquisite three-story villa. He gently touched the roof with his hands, a white light flashed, and he entered a very large room.
"Congratulations, host, for obtaining the right to read freely in the library."
"Library?" Meng Zhiyu carefully looked around the room, which was decorated in a low-key yet elegant style. The four walls were filled with bookshelves, and the bookshelves were neatly displayed.
Wangcai presented a transparent three-dimensional model of a library to Meng Zhiyu. "Yes, pay one gold coin a day and you can browse every book at will. This library has three floors, covering the fields that the host is currently studying: medicine, health preservation, food, art, machinery, breeding, technology... and many other fields. You can find anything you can't imagine."
As he spoke, pictures of different fields switched in front of Meng Zhiyu's eyes.
