Chapter 193 Both Parents Died
"What's wrong?" Seeing Huo Min's expression suddenly freeze.
Mu Yuan's face was filled with doubt.
The sharp intent in Huo Min's eyes faded in an instant.
He lowered his narrow, auspicious eyes and said softly, "It's okay. Don't you still need to collect data tonight? Go take a shower first and then do the calculations."
Mu Yuan's eyes widened slightly as she also remembered this important matter and hurriedly sat up: "Oh, and the fertilizer I buried a few days ago has almost fermented. I forgot to check it today. After all, it's new fertilizer, and I don't know if it will be useful."
Huo Min chuckled: "Go and take a look?"
Mu Yuan got off the bed.
I looked back at him while putting on my shoes and asked casually, "Are you going?"
Huo Min supported himself with his arms behind his back, leaning back with a lazy look on his face. "I need to make a phone call. I'll come accompany you after that."
Mu Yuan blinked her eyelashes and said hurriedly, "If you are busy, don't come to me. I will be back soon anyway."
"good."
The casual smile on Huo Min's face suddenly disappeared when she turned around.
He glared at the place where he had just touched the camera, his expression becoming increasingly cold and vicious.
After all, it is a Chinese medicine planting area.
To protect the naturalness of plants.
The use of artificial fertilizers is prohibited.
The expert group specially dug several large pits in this slightly remote location.
Then they buried all the collected Chinese medicinal herbs and the bodies of dozens of piglets that had unfortunately died in the earthquake and were provided by the villagers.
Generally speaking.
Fresh meat should be buried in the ground.
But this is a disaster area, and supplies are already scarce. It is naturally impossible to use edible fresh meat in such a place.
Too luxurious.
So it was Mu Yuan who came up with the idea of using animal corpses.
Conditions are limited, so this is all we can do.
Mu Yuan put on a mask and was shoveling the soil with a grunt.
I heard the sound of something falling to the ground nearby.
She stopped shoveling the soil and looked to the side in confusion.
"Wow, wow, wow." It turned out to be a little girl who was no more than 5 years old. She fell to the ground and cried loudly.
Mu Yuan quickly threw away the shovel, tore off his gloves, ran over and picked her up.
"Little sister, where did you get hurt from the fall? Let me take a look."
She half-knelt on the ground and let the little girl sit on her thighs.
She held the crying little girl in her arms and comforted her gently: "Don't cry, don't cry, let your sister see."
"Ouch, my hand hurts."
Mu Yuan hurried to check her arm and found that her elbow was bruised.
"Okay, I've seen it. I'll take you to get some medicine, okay? The pain won't go away after you apply the medicine."
The little girl had two small buns on her head and a round face. Her eyes and nose were red from crying. She looked cute and pitiful. She nodded slightly to show her agreement: "Woo woo woo."
Look at her crying so miserably.
I don’t know whose child this is.
Now he's still injured.
She frowned slightly and could only choose to carry the child back to the meeting room first.
As soon as we arrived at the meeting room.
However, an expert recognized the little girl.
"Oh, isn't this Xiaotong?"
Mu Yuan took a cotton swab dipped in iodine and gently smeared it on the little girl's elbow, blowing on it as she did so, comforting her: "It's okay, don't cry, don't cry. Look, is it cool after rubbing it?"
Facing the children.
She subconsciously lowered her tone.
After she finished wiping, she looked up at the expert: "Do you have her parents' phone number? Or do you know where her home is? I'll take her back."
The expert looked a little embarrassed for a moment.
Mu Yuan saw it and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
He glanced at Xiaotong and lowered his voice: "Her parents died in the earthquake."
Mu Yuan was shocked: "Then... who else is in her family?"
"There's only one little aunt left. I don't know the exact location of her home. Let me call Miss Zhao."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan hurriedly suggested, "How about we just call the village chief? I need his help with the fertilizer issue."
Expert: "Okay, I'll contact the village chief now."
When the village chief came with Aunt Xiaotong.
Mu Yuan's cold face was filled with tenderness as she was using a tissue to blow Xiao Tong's nose: "Come on, one, two, three, harder!"
Xiaotong's eyes were red and she cooperated obediently.
After she finished blowing her hair, she saw someone familiar and called out, "Auntie!"
Mu Yuan followed her gaze.
She saw a girl who looked like a college student with a young face, looking at her nervously and curiously.
She smiled and took the initiative: "Hello, you are Xiaotong's aunt?"
Aunt Xiaotong hurried forward: "Hello, hello, I am."
Mu Yuan picked up Xiaotong and put her in her arms.
Xiaotong almost immediately put her arms around her aunt's neck, buried her head in her neck and rubbed it aggrievedly, saying in a baby voice: "Aunt, I fell down."
Look at Xiaotong snuggling up to her aunt affectionately.
Mu Yuan's almond-shaped eyes curved slightly, looking gentle.
"Xiaotong's elbow was slightly scratched, but it's nothing serious. I've already applied medicine. Be careful to avoid it when you go back and take a shower."
Aunt Xiaotong expressed gratitude: "Thank you."
Mu Yuan raised her lip: "You're welcome, it's just a small favor."
She looked at the village chief beside her and said in a clear voice, "Village chief, can we talk for a moment?"
The village chief smiled and replied, "Okay, Mu Gong."
Mu Yuan's gaze returned to Aunt Xiaotong, who was still looking at her: "Take her back to rest first. She must be tired of crying."
Aunt Xiaotong: "Okay, okay, thank you."
Mu Yuan responded with a faint smile, and then walked out of the meeting room with the village chief.
Under the moonlight.
Mu Yuan looked at the frail girl holding Xiaotong as she walked westward. She narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and said, "Village Chief, Xiaotong's aunt should be in college now, right?"
The village chief sighed, "She just got in this year and is the second top student in our village to be admitted to a 211 university. Her parents passed away early, and she used to depend on her brother and sister-in-law for support. But then the earthquake happened, and they died, leaving behind her niece, Xiaotong. She's having trouble making ends meet now, let alone raising a child."
"So if she gets into university, will she have money for her university tuition?"
The village chief shook his head. "Not yet. Before her brother and sister-in-law left, their business failed and they were already heavily in debt. So she borrowed money from everywhere to pay for her tuition. But as you know, after the earthquake, everyone was broke. Who would have extra money to lend her? She had no choice but to apply for a tuition loan."
Mu Yuan thought for a few seconds and decided gently, "I will cover her tuition, and Xiaotong's as well."
The village chief was surprised: "Mu Gong, are you serious?"
Mu Yuan looked back at the thin figure again, and suddenly had a hallucination of her former self.
Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with determination. She turned back with a bright smile and said in a clear voice, "Well, but please keep this matter a secret for me."
-
This is good news.
The village chief couldn't wait to tell Aunt Xiaotong.
Unexpectedly, she instantly guessed that the person who sponsored her was Mu Yuan.
The village chief was surprised. Seeing her very confident look, he knew that she could no longer hide it. He could only ask curiously, "How did you know?"
She got up from the kang and took out a few red RMB notes folded into a small circle from a faded and worn drawer.
She looked at the village chief, her eyes reddened: "I just took this out of Xiaotong's pocket. It was stuffed in by that beautiful sister."
