Chapter 16 State-Owned Hotel
Huo Jinzhi expressionlessly lifted the quilt for An Yu and 'accidentally' touched his calf.
Although I was wearing a splint, I couldn't move for a hundred days because of the broken bones, and any movement was painful to the bone.
"Excuse me."
Huo Jinzhi's apology was insincere.
An Yu gasped and didn't dare to say anything to Huo Jinzhi.
Chen Zhu found this scene funny and stepped forward to check: "Just don't move and you'll be fine."
An Yu looked at Chen Zhuyi with starry eyes the whole time. Huo Jinzhi's face was as dark as it could be. He asked Wang Jiuwang to continue looking after him and took Chen Zhuyi out of the cabin.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Don't worry, I will definitely criticize him harshly when I get back and make him write a self-criticism and apology letter to you."
Huo Jinzhi felt really ashamed that he wanted to say frivolous words to a female comrade he had just met, especially since he was a soldier.
Chen Zhuyi was fine. After all, he was still in his forties at heart. He looked at An Yu like a little kid, and naturally treated his words as childish talk.
In the following time, there was no more noise from An Yu's side. After the boat reached the shore and An Yu was taken to the hospital, Huo Jinzhi looked at Chen Zhuyi after he entered the operating room.
"Thank you very much. I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant for dinner later, and then I'll take you back to the ship in the afternoon."
The boat from the pier should be leaving at this time, so you can only leave in the afternoon.
Chen Zhu nodded: "It's not noon yet and I'm not hungry yet. I want to go out for a walk and buy some things and come back at noon."
"OK."
Chen Zhuyi walked out of the hospital and headed to Tongshi's department store.
The items sold at the supply and marketing cooperative on the island are still not comprehensive, and many items are not available.
As soon as Chen Zhu walked in, he bought shampoo and conditioner.
After buying it, I went out and found an empty corner, took out some things from the space and put them in, then sighed.
There was no chance to take out the things in the space at the educated youth center. Every time I could only put some things in under the pretext of packing. It would be much easier if I could live alone.
In fact, living alone is allowed as long as you pay rent.
But this makes her stand out from the crowd, and a woman living alone is likely to be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
A look of helplessness flashed across Chen Zhu's eyes. Seeing that it was almost time, he took his things and returned to the hospital.
When Huo Jinzhi saw Chen Zhu coming back, he took her to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
An Yu's surgery has been completed. Because the fracture was quite serious, he underwent surgery. The anesthetic has not yet worn off and he is in a coma. Wang Jiuyang stayed to take care of him, and Huo Jinzhi came back to bring him food.
It was noon, and there were not many people in the hotel, even in the state-owned hotel.
When Huo Jinzhi and Shen Zhu entered, the waiters at the window were all dozing off.
"Hello, I want one serving of braised pork, one serving of steamed fish, and one serving of stir-fried pork with razor clams. I also want three bowls of rice, one to go, and one serving of white porridge to go."
Huo Jinzhi stared at the dishes written on the wooden board and ordered all the meat dishes.
The waiter's sleep was interrupted. He frowned, opened his eyes and looked at Huo Jinzhi impatiently, but met his eyes as sharp and deep as an eagle. When he saw that the other party was wearing a military uniform, he looked embarrassed.
"Okay, you ordered all meat dishes, a total of two dollars and thirty cents."
After Huo Jinzhi paid the bill, he sat down face to face with Shen Zhu. While waiting for the food, Shen Zhu remembered what Huang Cuicui said, opened her mouth, but ultimately did not ask.
They are not familiar with each other yet, so asking now seems a bit unreasonable.
After all the dishes were served, he served a portion aside and gave it to Wang Jiuyang to take back later, while the other two ate in silence.
Chen Zhuyi had a small appetite, so Huo Jinzhi took care of the rest.
Chen Zhu stared at Huo Jinzhi, watching him in disbelief as he finished all the remaining food by himself, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at his stomach.
You've eaten so much, but your stomach isn't bloated yet?
When Chen Zhu remembered that Huang Cuicui mentioned that Huo Jinzhi was already 27, he immediately thought of Zhao Anche in his previous life at the age of 27, with a big belly, balding hair, and a greasy face.
Look at Huo Jinzhi again. He has thick hair. Although he is wearing clothes, you can still feel the strong muscles underneath. He does not look greasy at all, but rather fresh.
Chen Zhuyi was muttering to himself, not realizing that because he was staring at him, Huo Jinzhi across from him had been eating much slower, and his ears had turned red.
After dinner, Huo Jinzhi first sent Chen Zhuyi to the pier, queued up to buy the ticket and handed it to Chen Zhuyi.
"Thank you so much for today."
"It's okay, I'll leave first."
"Um."
As soon as Chen Zhu got on the boat, he waved to Huo Jinzhi below, and Huo Jinzhi left.
The way back is always extra fast.
As soon as Chen Zhu got off the boat and returned to the educated youth point, everyone excitedly surrounded her when they saw her back.
"Oh my god, Zhuyi, you're so amazing! You even know medical skills! You're such a hidden talent!"
"That's right! You don't know that because of you, the villagers are now much nicer to us. Shen Zhiqing, you are now a famous person in the village!"
Chen Zhu smiled and took out the peach cakes bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and distributed them to everyone.
Huang Cuicui and Liu Zhaodi didn't go over.
When Liu Zhaodi saw the peach cake in Chen Zhu's hand, she swallowed greedily, her eyes full of desire.
There was a flash of displeasure in Huang Cuicui's eyes.
"A peach pastry makes you so greedy!" After saying that, Huang Cuicui took out her small wallet, looked at the balance inside, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth, took out a piece of peach pastry and the snack ticket and handed it to Liu Zhaodi.
"Go buy half a pound of high-quality pastries! I'll give you a piece!"
With the high-end pastries as a comparison, Liu Zhaodi stopped looking at the peach pastries and happily took the money and ticket and left.
Huang Cuicui looked at Chen Zhuyi who was surrounded by everyone, snorted coldly, and turned back to her room.
In the evening, everyone enjoyed the seafood prepared by the educated youth with gusto. After a full and relaxing day, everyone lay down on the bed to rest contentedly. When they opened their eyes tomorrow, it would be another day of hard work.
Ever since Chen Zhuyi saved An Yu, he became famous in the village. In the following days, some villagers would even specifically stop Chen Zhuyi to ask for help with their medical treatment.
Chen Zhu didn't agree to any of them, and all of them answered that they only knew the basics and it was just a coincidence that day. Gradually, no one went to look for her anymore.
In the evening, Chen Zhuyi returned after delivering the pig feed and met a soldier at the door.
The soldier and Huang Cuicui stood together, talking about something, and suddenly Huang Cuicui turned and left.
Chen Zhuyi didn't care and was about to go into the house, but was stopped by a soldier.
"Shen Zhiqing! Commander Lu sent me here. He asked you to come over for dinner tonight."
Chen Zhuyi was a little curious: "Oh, what were you talking about just now, comrade?"
"She asked me who I was looking for, and I said I was looking for you, so she left."
Chen Zhu nodded, asked the soldiers to wait, and went into the house to talk to Ye Xumei.
"Xumei, I won't be eating at the educated youth camp tonight. When you're cooking later, please tell them not to cook for me."
"good!"
After saying that, Chen Zhu turned around and left. When he passed by Huang Cuicui, he glanced at her and saw her looking in the mirror. He then looked away and left.
Not long after she left, Huang Cuicui got out of bed and put on her shoes.
"Oh! I remembered I dropped something on the ground. I'll go get it. Zhaodi, please let me eat my meal. I'll just have some high-end pastries to fill my stomach."
Liu Zhaodi would naturally be happy to eat more.
"OK!"
The days are long in summer. Even after dinner at around seven or eight o'clock, it was not completely dark yet. Chen Zhu was happy to have some free time and walked slowly on the way back to the educated youth site.
Rural people go to bed early, and the location of the educated youth site is a bit remote. Chen Zhu didn't meet anyone along the way and could only hear the chirping of cicadas.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, Chen Zhuyi frowned slightly, her ears moved slightly, and she just stopped and hadn't turned back when a piece of cloth stretched out from behind and quickly covered her face.
