Chapter 141 Unofficial Staff
"Oh? You call that good fortune? It hasn't been long, and you two are already in the hospital again. Don't be so pitiful!" Jia Zhenzhen came in from outside, carrying a lunchbox, her tone sarcastic, but her eyes still betrayed her worry.
"Look at you two, one with a limp arm and the other with a limp leg. Do you dare to go out without me again?" she muttered as she opened the lunchbox to serve porridge to the two of them.
Qin Suisui and Su Yunyi exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.
"Zhenzhen, don't be angry. This was an accident. Besides, yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival. You should have gone home to be with your parents. We were just going to town to make a phone call. Who could have predicted something like this would happen?" Su Yunyi gently comforted Jia Zhenzhen, as if stroking the fur of an exploding puppy.
Jia Zhenzhen put her hands on her hips: "I'm not angry with you guys, I'm angry with those Japanese people who dared to come to our country to hold some kind of ritual, and almost got you all killed! But Sui Sui, how did you untie the ritual plate?"
Qin Suisui was stunned: "What do you mean? How do I unlock the sacrificial plate? Does the sacrificial plate need to be unlocked?" She remembered that she rushed up directly at the time and did not see any locks or anything like that.
Jia Zhenzhen nodded: "That's right! I overheard them reporting to my dad. They said that the sacrificial plate was locked with some kind of mechanism, and that even the master craftsman who was good at mechanisms and locks couldn't unlock it easily. How did you unlock it in such a short time and save them?"
Qin Suisui was stunned. She carefully recalled what had happened and did not remember unlocking the mechanism. She seemed to have rushed out of the snake swarm and jumped directly onto the sacrificial plate, waking everyone up. Could it be that she accidentally touched some mechanism and unlocked it?
When Pei Jiuyan returned, Qin Suisui asked him about the mechanism. Pei Jiuyan didn't say anything, only that she might have accidentally touched the unlocking mechanism in her panic, which was the same as Qin Suisui's thought.
Most importantly, the sacrificial plate was made of iron and wood. Now the wooden parts have been burned, and the mechanism has been destroyed and cannot be restored. It will be very difficult to find out the cause.
After another day of observation in the hospital, Qin Suisui and Su Yunyi were both discharged. During this time, the remaining seven people she had previously saved all came to visit Qin Suisui.
Qin Suisui then realized that these women were not all from Jianghui Town; many were from other places as well. She didn't know how these people had tricked them into coming here.
Fortunately, the military has contacted their families, and the seven women have been picked up by their families one after another in the past two days.
Su Yunyi lives alone at the base with no one to take care of her, but fortunately, her leg injury didn't damage her bones; it was mainly a burn on the skin. Xie Ting and Hu Zi are both at the base during the day and can help take care of her.
Since Jia Zhenzhen was injured, Wu Fang ordered her to go home. Qin Suisui wondered if Su Yunyi should invite a fellow educated youth with whom she had a good relationship to come back to the base for a few days so that they could help take care of her at night.
Anyway, the medicinal herb garden is currently being promoted for planting throughout the village, so they will definitely need to gradually increase manpower. To ensure fairness, they will select from both the villagers and the educated youth. Qin Suisui's idea is to take this opportunity to select someone from among the educated youth.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words "educated youth," Su Yunyi quickly waved her hand: "No, no, no, Sui Sui, although I was also an educated youth, I feel that I might clash with educated youth. I dare not invite wolves into my house again."
Qin Suisui was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud. Indeed, from Zhou Zecheng at the beginning to Liu Zhiqiang later, the two biggest dangers in Su Yunyi's life were brought by the educated youth. Now she gets a bit stressed when she hears the word "educated youth".
But when it came to increasing manpower, the first person Su Yunyi thought of was Qian Mei:
“Sui Sui, if you don’t mind that Qian Mei is too young, I think we can hire her. Don’t underestimate her because of her age. She is decisive and organized. Most importantly, she comes to the herb garden to help out whenever she has free time, so she is more familiar with our work than others.”
Qian Mei?
So much has happened lately that Qin Suisui had almost forgotten about this little girl. She had originally planned to recruit her when the time was right, and now the opportunity had arrived!
Qian Mei naturally agreed to join Qin Suisui's medicinal herb garden. So she worked alongside everyone in the garden during the day and slept with Su Yunyi at the base at night. This finally put Qin Suisui at ease, allowing her to focus on recovering at home.
Because this matter involves a wide range of people, Pei Jiuyan went to work early. Fortunately, he doesn't need to go to sea for the time being. He prepares breakfast in the kitchen before going to work in the morning. Qin Suisui sleeps until she wakes up naturally, and then goes to the kitchen to eat breakfast.
Pei Jiuyan would come back to cook lunch and dinner on time, making sure she didn't go hungry.
She didn't have to worry about the child either. Pei Jiuyan would drop the child off at daycare on her way to work in the morning, and Zanzan would come back with Xiaoli and the others in the evening.
Knowing that her mother was injured and recuperating at home, Zan Zan was exceptionally obedient. At lunchtime in the daycare cafeteria, if she ate anything delicious, she would secretly hide it in her little backpack and bring it back for Qin Sui Sui to try.
In just this week, Qin Suisui has eaten dried-out soy-braised eggs, cold roasted ribs, cornbread cakes that have been crumbled, and half a bottle of carrot juice.
Although some of the food didn't look very appetizing, Qin Suisui couldn't bear to refuse because it was the child's good intention. She would eat it with a smile every time, which made the little guy very happy. Every night before going to bed, he would look forward to the next day's lunch and think about what to bring back for his mother.
On Thursday, Pei Jiuyan brought back the money she had earned from translating, which was nearly two thousand yuan this time!
At the same time, Pei Jiuyan also brought good news: because the materials translated by Qin Suisui were of extremely high quality, ranking among the best of all external translators, the Ministry of Foreign Trade planned to hire her as a permanent external translator.
In other words, she is now considered an unofficial staff member of the foreign trade department.
This made Qin Suisui extremely happy. Being able to do the work she loves, and even two jobs, made her feel incredibly lucky!
During her time recuperating at home, Qin Suisui didn't stay idle. She would sleep until she naturally woke up, and after eating and drinking her fill, she would either go to the small vegetable garden by the door to plant vegetables and tidy up fruits and vegetables, or go to her space to tinker with her little pills and study the poisons she had previously confiscated from the old man.
After returning from the hospital, Qin Suisui gave Pei Jiuyan a copy of each type of poison, instructing him to hand them over to the organization. China is full of talented people; perhaps someone knows more about these things than she does.
Too much has happened recently, and Qin Suisui is indeed exhausted. Taking advantage of the fact that her arm injury has not yet healed, she rests at home with a clear conscience.
She had no idea that a large group of people were heading towards her at that moment.
