Chapter 258 Unwilling to Separate
We were separated by misunderstanding and missed each other because of the cruel tricks of fate.
Now that we've finally reunited, how could we bear to waste even a second?
Zhou Shufen is so busy during the day that she barely has time to rest.
I get up at five in the morning to check on the seedlings, set off at seven to deliver goods, and visit wholesalers at nine to discuss cooperation.
In the afternoon, I have to go back to the greenhouse to direct the operations, and in the evening, I have to sort out the accounts and study the market.
There's hardly a moment of rest throughout the day.
He became more and more energetic, his waist became firm, and his skin became shiny.
Long-term labor has made her arms strong and powerful.
Her complexion was rosy and healthy, and although there were some fine lines around her eyes, it did not diminish her charm.
Guo Zhenyi simply couldn't stop.
His heart felt as if it were ablaze, making him restless and unable to sit still.
Whether at the company, in the car, or alone, Zhou Shufen's image is always on my mind.
Once they meet, they don't want to be apart.
He had thought more than once that he should just take a few days off, ignore everything else, and stay by her side.
Once the greenhouse situation was settled, Zhou Shufen moved back to the Guo family's house.
Only after the steel-framed vegetable greenhouses were finally built on that land, equipped with irrigation systems and temperature control equipment, and the planting plan was on track, did she feel at ease to end her temporary residence in Ningcheng.
Zhou Lijuan and Qi Changyu left before the start of the semester, taking the train directly to Beijing.
On the morning of her departure, Zhou Lijuan, with tears in her eyes, hugged Zhou Shufen and repeatedly told her to take care of herself.
Qi Changyu stood to the side, silently carrying his suitcase.
The two didn't say much, just nodded gently in farewell.
He then boarded a green train bound for the capital, and his figure gradually disappeared into the morning mist.
Zhou Liya and Yang Qingyan also returned to Hong Kong.
Although the Zhou sisters were reluctant to part ways, they both understood that their respective careers and lives had to move forward.
As Zhou Liya pulled her suitcase out the door, she turned back and waved with a smile.
"I'll come back to see you all once I'm done with this busy period!"
Yang Qingyan gently patted her shoulder, her eyes filled with a smile.
The two boarded the bus for their return journey, heading towards that familiar yet bustling port city.
Once the greenhouse is set up, the supermarket will need to expand.
Having just secured a stable source of vegetable supply, Zhou Shufen immediately began planning for the next step.
The supermarket's current size is no longer sufficient to support the growing customer flow and demand.
The shelves are often very empty.
Especially in the fresh produce section, demand always exceeds supply.
She began to examine new shop locations, review contract terms, and discuss layouts with designers.
Her time is fully scheduled from morning till night.
Even while lying in bed, I was still thinking about tomorrow's shopping list.
The trip to the port city was delayed again and again, until mid-April.
It wasn't until April 12th that Zhou Shufen finally found the time to personally bring the documents to the Port City Commerce Bureau to submit the application.
Zhou Shufen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That evening, she sat on the balcony, holding a cup of warm honey water.
Looking at the city lights in the distance, I let out a long breath.
I had barely relaxed for half a day when my phone started ringing non-stop.
Yang Qingshan was so anxious on the other end of the phone that he kept stamping his feet.
"Sister, we've almost sold out of rice, flour, and cooking oil, and there are only two bottles of soy sauce left!"
Kang Liangwen's voice was trembling.
"Shufen, the children's clothing section is completely cleared out, and customers are starting to complain."
As she listened, her brows furrowed unconsciously.
She went back to Yuxin.
The next morning, she boarded the bus back to Yuxin.
The scenery outside the car window rushed past, and she leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes to rest.
She had to resolve the inventory problem once and for all, and prevent the stores from running out of stock again.
The goods I brought this time were piled up to the brim, enough to sell for more than half a year.
When they set off from Yu Xin's warehouse, three large trucks were lined up neatly in a row.
Rice, flour, cooking oil, daily necessities, seasonings, children's clothing, small appliances...
A dazzling array of goods, everything imaginable.
The drivers said with a smile, "This time we've even stocked up on goods for next year's Spring Festival."
This time when he returned, Li Kangjun had completed all the necessary procedures.
She had just returned to Ningcheng when she received a call from the hospital.
"Mr. Li's medical insurance, hospitalization, and surgical pre-approval have all been approved."
Zhou Shufen immediately drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau and the police station.
After confirming that all the files were correct, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This means that Li Kangjun's treatment has truly gotten back on track.
When Zhou Shufen left, she took him with her.
Without hesitation, she pushed Li Kangjun's wheelchair out of the temporary hut and put it in the back seat of the car.
"Isn't this... too much trouble for you?"
She turned around and smiled.
"Dad, don't be so formal, let's go home."
Guo Zhenyi helped him obtain the necessary documents to travel to Gangcheng, and Zhou Yujie contacted the hospital and arranged for a caregiver.
Li Kangjun was successfully admitted to the hospital to prepare for eye surgery.
The day I was admitted to the hospital, the sun was shining brightly.
The nurse pushed him in a wheelchair through the long corridor.
Although he couldn't see, he could feel the warmth of the voices around him.
The ward was spacious and bright, with the hospital garden visible from the window.
He sat on the edge of the bed, his hands gripping the corner of the blanket tightly.
The attending physician held the examination report.
"The cataract has been diagnosed. The surgery is not difficult, and the postoperative vision is expected to recover to above 0.8."
He paused, then added.
"As long as there are no complications, your chances of regaining your sight are very high."
Upon hearing this, Li Kangjun's lips trembled.
His eyes instantly reddened, and his trembling hands gripped the bedsheets.
For decades, he has become accustomed to the darkness, to groping his way around, and to recognizing people by their voices.
But now, someone is telling him that he can see it now.
In his entire life, he never dared to imagine that he would ever see the light again.
But now, fate has given him a chance to open his eyes again.
When I called Li Huachen, he kept saying thank you.
Li Huachen was in tears on the other end of the phone, but she forced a smile and comforted him.
"Dad, please don't say that. I am your daughter."
He said he owed this daughter a debt he could never repay in his lifetime.
After hanging up the phone, he leaned against the pillow and remained silent for a long time.
He muttered to himself.
“As her father, I’ve given her nothing and have been a burden to her for so many years… yet she treats me like a treasure.”
Son, he's not looking anymore.
He knew his son had always resented his favoritism, complaining that he only cared about Li Huachen and neglected the family.
But now, Li Huachen is doing well.
He couldn't let the resentment of the past ruin her current life.
Why bring it back?
He closed his eyes and slowly said, "Never mind, let him be."
Li Kangjun is hospitalized due to high blood pressure.
The doctor advised that I need to recuperate for a period of time before I can have surgery.
Therefore, Li Kangjun took his medicine on time every day, measured his temperature regularly, and strictly followed the doctor's orders regarding his diet, daring not to be careless in the slightest.
He actively cooperated with the treatment, and even the caregiver couldn't help but praise him.
"The old man has a really good attitude; he's even more obedient than young people."
He just smiled and didn't say anything.
But no one knew that he prayed silently every night as he fell asleep.
Upon hearing that her eyes could be healed, Li Huachen secretly cried outside the ward.
Only after she calmed down did she wipe away her tears, straighten her clothes, and push the door open with a smile.
"Dad, I bought your favorite mung bean cakes."
The Zhou siblings share a deep and profound bond.
She will remember this kindness for the rest of her life.
