Manager Zhou received a sudden notice and rushed back from the fields without even having time to change his clothes, so he kept on wearing the same clothes that were already soaked.
At this time, Director Zhou was covered in mud, with his trouser legs rolled up and a pair of shoes of unknown color on his feet. His exposed calves were also covered in mud, and the whole person was unbearable to look at.
But it was this person who, at this moment, was holding a black umbrella, with a warm smile on his face, walked calmly to the entrance of the farm.
The jeep stopped in front of Director Zhou.
The car door opened.
The first person to come down, wearing a clean military uniform and holding an umbrella, saluted Captain Zhou and shouted, "Captain Zhou!"
Director Zhou smiled and said, "Just call me Lao Zhou from now on!"
Zhou Shen wouldn’t dare to do that.
The next person to come down was Chu Nanzhou, who was holding a little baby in his arms and had fallen asleep.
Chu Nanzhou couldn't help but laugh at the inquiring look from the manager last week:
"Why? You're not welcome!"
Director Zhou still had a warm smile on his face:
"How dare I! I'm just wondering, why is the person who said he couldn't come on the phone before coming again now? Did something happen that I don't know about or is there any unexpected situation? I want to hear it."
Chu Nanzhou held Xiaobao in his arms, looked him up and down for a moment, and smiled, "I'll help you, what's there to ask! Hurry up and find someone to get those two pieces of pork off, I've been smelling them all the way!"
"Bought meat! What a relationship!" Even a calm man like Manager Zhou, when he heard that there were two slabs of pork in the car, his eyes narrowed with joy.
"On the way here, I heard that everyone was organizing a rush to harvest, and meat was hard to buy, so I bought five pigs and drove them over here. I had someone kill one first, and the rest will be delivered tomorrow. Oh, and hurry up to set up a few more tents. I borrowed 200 people from Old Wu, and you have to be responsible for their food and lodging!"
Director Zhou was stunned.
Chu Nanzhou took the umbrella from Zhou Shen and walked into the farm holding Xiaobao.
Zhou Shen and the driver helped carry their luggage.
By the time Director Zhou reacted, Chu Nanzhou had already taken four or five steps forward.
"Nanzhou, wait a minute!"
Chu Nanzhou stopped, looked back at Director Zhou and smiled.
"Stinky boy, that's great! You can borrow all of Old Wu's people! This really solves our urgent need! I was just worried about not having enough manpower! You don't know, right now everyone is rushing to harvest, there's really no place to borrow people! But we put all our efforts into reclaiming wasteland last year, and the planted area is the largest, but there are few people! We're finally looking forward to a big harvest!
Who would have thought it would rain? I was worried that I would not be able to harvest the wheat. If it rotted in the fields, the loss would be huge! A new batch of educated youths arrived, but they were all half-grown children who did not know how to do anything. I was really worried!
Nanzhou, you arrived just in time!"
Chu Nanzhou smiled faintly: "Old Wu is doing a training recently, so I can borrow some people out, but the time is not long, just one week! After a week, the troops will have to go deep into the mountains and forests!"
Director Zhou nodded with a smile: "One week is enough! How about you? How long do you plan to stay?"
"If you're so happy, then please keep me here for a while!"
Director Zhou didn't believe it: "Are you really staying?"
Chu Nanzhou hummed: "Let's harvest the wheat first. Things on my side are not that easy to solve. I mean, it's been almost two years, why haven't you built a house yet?"
There were still tents in front of me.
Director Zhou: "You think I don't want to build a house? Building a house requires wood. We need to send people to Baichuan Forest Farm to cut wood and bring wood back. We also need stones and adobe. All these need people to do it. In addition to the task of land reclamation, the staff is limited, so we can only postpone the construction of the house. How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"Depending on the situation, I can only stay for three to five days. I'll leave as soon as I get the call. When the time comes, I'll have to borrow someone from you."
Director Zhou asked curiously, "Borrow someone? Who do you want to borrow?"
"Sheng Kangning!"
Director Zhou frowned and said:
"I remember this little girl was really pretty. She was spotted by Yang Hui right after she arrived! I also heard from Lao Zhang that on her way here, she covered her head and face with clothes and wore gloves to protect her from mosquitoes. She must have done her homework before coming here! Not simple!"
When Chu Nanzhou heard Lao Zhou say that Sheng Kangning was targeted by a man named Yang Hui as soon as he arrived, his eyebrows twitched slightly:
"Her maternal grandfather was an imperial physician. She has been learning medicine from her mother and grandmother since she was a child. Although she is young, her medical skills are quite good!"
"Really? That's great. After the harvest is over, I'll keep her as a doctor at the site!"
Currently the only doctor on site is Zhou Bowen himself.
Zhou Bowen is Director Zhou's cousin from another family. His medical skills are average and he can only treat colds and fevers. He cannot treat patients with more complicated symptoms.
To be honest, Zhou Bowen is not qualified to be a doctor on the spot, but there is really no one among the hundreds of people who can serve as a doctor on the spot, so they can only use him for the time being.
Manager Zhou had wanted to replace someone for a long time, but there was no one available.
There is no point in reporting this to your superiors. Talented people like doctors are in short supply everywhere.
Not to mention those with excellent medical skills.
Chu Nanzhou had already planned to let Sheng Kangning stay in the hospital, but...
"Old Zhou, I'd better ask her about this matter! That girl has her own ideas!"
It would be best if you are willing to be the on-site doctor. If not, Chu Nanzhou will find another way.
Director Zhou smiled and said, "Of course! I have to ask."
However, according to Director Zhou, it has basically been decided.
There was no educated youth who was unwilling to stay in the field office.
Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei each carried a bag of medicinal herbs and walked back.
