Chapter 149 Terror
She didn't want to trouble others, but what Ye Xumei said was really scary.
Chen Zhuyi didn't care about these things and turned around to leave. Seeing her somewhat inappropriate behavior, the village chief couldn't help but frown, with a serious look in his eyes, but he just snorted coldly and said nothing more that he and Secretary Chen would take this position.
Commander Zhou was relatively free these two days, but when he thought about Huo Jinzhi's matter, he didn't have much time to rest, so he prepared to find someone to check out the situation.
Some time ago, Lao Zheng just said that everything was fine, but now he sent a message saying that things were not good. This is contradictory in itself, and I don’t know what is going on.
There was a knock on the door. Commander Zhou didn't even raise his head, but he was sure that the person coming was not right from the footsteps. He looked at them with some dissatisfaction, and saw the nervous Chen Zhuyi.
"Comrade Shen, do you have something important to tell me that you must come to me at this time?" Commander Zhou reminded seriously, and then glanced at Ye Xumei who was chasing after him. He vaguely understood the situation and sighed.
"I just want to ask, when will Huo Jinzhi be able to come back?" Chen Zhu paused, took a deep breath, barely controlled his emotions, and spoke in a calm tone.
"He probably won't be back in the short term. A confidential mission won't be leaked so easily." Commander Zhou said firmly with a stern face.
He knew a little about the rumors in the village. Huo Jinzhi's brothers all recognized Chen Zhuyi's identity, so he couldn't let her know the situation.
The educated youth who came to the countryside became a teacher in the school. Recently, they needed manpower, so not only could she not leave, she had to stay here!
"Then...is he okay now? If he really feels unwell, I hope you can let me know. I am also a doctor." Chen Zhuyi asked again, and specifically mentioned his identity.
Even now, in her spare time, Chen Zhuyi would often go to help Dr. Zheng. She had also examined the health of many people and given them advice on fertility.
"There's no need to compete if your medical skills are barely sufficient in the village." Commander Zhou shook his head and didn't believe Chen Zhuyi.
The people on the island only had some common illnesses at most. What's more, Chen Zhuyi was not the main person to treat them. She helped Doctor Zheng, and with some medical skills, she was able to hold on.
If it really was related to Huo Jinzhi, it would be a big deal, maybe a gunshot wound or something like that. She was a little girl and was already panicking right now. If she really got to the scene and saw something, she would probably cry.
"I didn't take it out for competition. I just needed a chance to help him." Chen Zhuyi's expression became increasingly calm, and the sad emotions he had at the beginning had almost disappeared at this moment.
She could guess a little bit by looking at Commander Zhou's reaction when he tried to stop her.
Even if Huo Jinzhi was really injured, her current situation would not threaten her life. Otherwise, she would not have to come here to beg for help. Naturally, there would be someone more anxious than her.
"I hope to be a comrade-in-arms with him." Chen Zhuyi once again put forward his request.
There was only unconcealable determination in those ink-black eyes, which instead made Commander Zhou look a little more admiring. A woman who was easily controlled by her emotions was indeed useless.
But the fact that she was able to adjust herself in just a few words proved that she was capable.
"If you don't cause any trouble, I will find a way to file a report. No matter what, I have to let you meet first." Commander Zhou promised in a deep voice and nodded at her.
"I'm not sure about the situation over there, but it won't be a big deal. Just wait for the news."
These words made Chen Zhuyi feel even more relieved. She took Ye Xumei's hand, and they turned around and walked out together, with a hint of relaxation on their expressions.
"The situation shouldn't be too serious. As for the rest... we can only take it one step at a time." Chen Zhuyi made a simple guess, but he looked worried.
Ye Xumei bit his lip, a hint of self-blame on his face: "If I were more capable, maybe I could find out more information."
"It's okay. It's not your fault. We will get the result soon. There's no need to rush." Chen Zhu held her fingers and after weighing it for a moment, decided to return to his post first.
She discussed it with Teacher Liu and Liu Kexin and grabbed several classes to teach consecutively so that it would be convenient for her to leave later. Summer vacation was about to start and the children's attention was not here. Even Chen Zhuyi herself was a little anxious.
"Zhou Siwei, if you don't listen carefully, I will deprive you of the right to eat snacks."
Chen Zhuyi knocked the table several times with the stick in his hand. His originally kind little face had become cold these days, which was not very flattering.
Zhou Siwei and several other children who were scolded immediately fell silent, but there was indeed not much food left.
Chen Zhu was so worried about Huo Jinzhi's affairs and the non-stop classes that she had no time to prepare anything. Many of the rewards she was supposed to have been promised were also reduced, and her voice gradually became hoarse.
"If you continue to take classes at such a high intensity, you'll probably exhaust yourself. The most important thing is to balance work and rest. The school doesn't need you." Principal Liu stepped in to stop the incident. She had a stern face and a subtle dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"The body is the capital of revolution. You young people are taking advantage of your youth and acting recklessly. Children also need to rest their brains!"
Chen Zhuyi was quite crazy when changing classes. There were only six classes in a day, but she had to teach four or even five classes by herself. No one could compare to her.
"I..." Chen Zhuyi hesitated and explained, "Something happened at home in a while, and I have to go back. If I don't make up for it now, the children will be missing something."
"Then just let other teachers cover for you. Whether it's money or something else, you should think it through. Comrade Chen Zhuyi, you're not the only teacher here. If all else fails, I can cover for you. We're not the kind of capitalists who are harsh on others."
Principal Liu patted her shoulder helplessly and gave her a day off early.
"It's only a few days away. You don't have to come to class. I'll help you. You can rest and come back after summer vacation."
Such a straightforward decision surprised Chen Zhuyi, but it was exactly what she wanted.
"You have already caught up with so many classes, so I don't need to worry too much about you. Just go and rest with peace of mind. You can tell me if you have any urgent matters." Principal Liu waved his hand and left first.
No matter how much they said, they couldn't change Chen Zhuyi's mind. It would be better to let her go, put her worries to rest, and then serve the people with peace of mind.
