Chen Xia did not come empty-handed. He was carrying two snakeskin bags full of fruits and was sweating profusely as he stood at the door.
"What are you all standing there for? Come over and help! There are two more bags outside. Who of you can carry them in?"
When Chen Zhenwu saw Chen Xia coming, he was very happy and ran up to him:
"Xiao Xia, you're finally here. Why haven't you been to classes these past few times? Your company said you've been suspended. Are you okay?"
"Dad... put the fruit away. I'm fine, brother. I just had a fight with a reactionary vice president, and he got fired, and I got suspended. During my suspension, I even took advantage of the situation to travel around Nanyun Province. So, I brought you some fruit from Nanyun Province."
Xu Dahong also hurried over: "Student Chen, you got so tanned in Nanyun Province that someone who didn't know you would think you were digging coal in Africa. What kind of fruits are these? Hey, hey, classmates, come over here! Big mangoes, big pineapples, and what are these?"
When the students in the classroom heard that Chen Xia had really brought fruits, they all ran over to watch the fun. Wang Yazhou and several other male students also carried in two large bags of fruits.
As he lifted it up, he said, "This fruit smells so good. I really want to taste it right now."
Chen Xia transformed into a fruit salesman again.
"Look! Have you ever eaten mangoes this big? And pineapples this big too! Let me tell you, these fruits are incredibly sweet and delicious. I guarantee you'll want more. Come on, each student, one mango, one pineapple, and one papaya. I can't carry any more."
Now everyone was excited. No one had ever eaten these fruits before. They only existed in novels.
Xu Dahong was obviously an expert. She was holding a big papaya and saying something mysteriously to Yang Haojie, which made Yang Haojie so embarrassed that she kept hugging her chest and refused to let go.
Seeing Chen Zhenwu approaching, Chen Xia grabbed him and said, "Brother, you don't have to go get it. I've already prepared it for you. I'll send it to Liulang Community when the time comes."
At this time, Jin Xiujie also walked into the classroom. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a fruity fragrance, and then he was surprised to see the noisy appearance in the classroom.
"What's going on? It's a holiday, and the company is giving out benefits?"
Chen Xia quickly ran up like a lackey and grabbed a bag of fruit.
"Teacher Jin, I'm on a business trip and a trip to Nanyun Province, so I brought back some tropical fruits for everyone to enjoy. This bag is for you. Take it back and let your children try it."
As an ordinary teacher, Jin Xiujie's income is not high and he doesn't often have fruits at home, so when he heard that there was a big bag of fruits, he was very happy.
"I'm so embarrassed! Oh, mangoes are this big, and there are pineapples and papayas too? That's great! Thank you, Chen Xia."
Chen Xia thought, what's there to thank me for? Just let me off during class next time. He was also thankful that this batch of fruit was such a steal. They only cost a few cents a pound, so giving it away was a huge favor. Needless to say, the value for money was great.
The outrageous operation of a bag of fruit and the fact that Chen Xia had not attended the previous few classes were lightly revealed, and no one mentioned it.
As for the exam, Chen Xia was not worried at all. As a medical worker, he did not put down his books after graduation. Instead, he spent every day in continuous learning and examination. Therefore, he never gave up the theoretical knowledge of medicine, and there would be no problem with the exam.
Besides, the minimum score for correspondence courses is 60 points, and one more point is a waste.
This class lasted from the afternoon until 9 pm. After class, Chen Zhenwu and Yin Yue'e returned to Liulang Community first. Chen Xia deliberately arrived a little late because she had too much to prepare.
Mango, pineapple, papaya, honey, dried mushrooms, flower cakes, Nuodeng ham, etc. are all specialties of Nanyun Province.
Chen Zhenwu and Chen Xia carried seven or eight boxes up and down before finally moving everything upstairs. Yin Yue'e wiped Chen Xia's sweat with distress while complaining:
"Xiao Xia, you are such a fool. Bringing so many things here must be so heavy and tiring."
Chen Xia enjoyed this feeling of "motherly love" and said with a smile:
"It's okay, sister-in-law. If I wasn't worried that you couldn't carry it, I would have brought some more food. These are all specialties from Nanyun Province. Take them back for Auntie and my two nephews and nieces to try. I'll send another batch over in a few days. Don't be polite with me."
Chen Zhenwu smiled and said, "We have to be polite with others, but we are really not polite with you. Haha, come and sit down. Look at you sweating profusely."
Chen Xia took out a jade pendant from her pocket and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a jade pendant with the image of Buddha. Please give it to Auntie for me. I know she believes in Buddhism the most in her life. You must let her wear it around her neck and don't hide it."
Yin Yue'e picked it up and took a look. The jade pendant was crystal clear without any impurities. It was definitely the best jadeite.
The last time Chen Xia gave their family some jade jewelry, she took it to someone for appraisal, and the reply was that it was definitely a good thing that could be a family heirloom, which made her surprised and happy.
This time it was another jade pendant of the same grade. Yin Yue'e couldn't help but be amazed. How rich must this distant cousin be?
"Okay, I'll thank you on behalf of my mother. I'm sure she will like it."
Chen Xia thought, of course grandma would like it. This is the best-made jade pendant with the image of Buddha that was personally selected by her eldest grandson. The old lady has been a Buddhist all her life, and there is no better gift than this.
Sometimes psychological comfort is also a good medicine. Maybe she feels that Buddha will bless her and that she can live a few more years if she is in a good mood.
Chen Xia took out another box of Moutai liquor and said, "Brother, I know you like it. Let's not stop drinking tonight."
"Good boy, let's have a drinking contest. Haha, Yue'e, go prepare some snacks. Xiaoxia and I are going to get drunk today."
When Chen Xia woke up the next day, he found that Chen Zhenwu and the others had already returned to Jiangzhou. There was a note on the table asking him to take care of himself.
Chen Xia was relieved to see that all the things he brought yesterday had been taken away. He secretly vowed to let his parents and their family in his previous life live the most prosperous life.
The three-month suspension period was over, and Section Chief Chen started his life as an "office dog" again.
In the office of the head of the General Affairs Department.
Yu Hong was reporting on some major and minor events that had occurred in the past three months. In addition, some large expenditures required his signature as the section chief before they could be recorded.
Chen Xia took a look and found that the General Affairs Department had been operating according to the rules he had set before for the past three months without any mistakes.
The two chatted for a long time before Yu Hong brought over another document: "Section Chief, this is a notice. The Regional Health Bureau will be holding a logistics support meeting the day after tomorrow. Both you and Vice President Sun are required to attend."
Chen Xia took it and looked at it, and was a little confused about what the point of holding this meeting was.
The logistics work of the Fourth Hospital has always been self-sufficient, and there is no need for support from higher authorities. Why hold this meeting?
