After seeing Chen Fengxia off through the front door, Yun Qiao locked the door again. When she returned to the living quarters at the back of the house, Zheng Wenjing had already put the food on the table.
"This Chen Fengxia is really weird! She hasn't even caught a cold yet, but she's already sneezed multiple times. Is it worth braving the blizzard in the middle of the night to get medicine?" Zheng Wenjing snorted coldly and said with a pursed lip, "She's not afraid of making this trip, only to get sick from the cold wind."
"Maybe there's something else she doesn't want to talk about." Yun Qiao actually noticed that something was wrong with Chen Fengxia, but she pretended nothing happened and didn't say anything. She didn't want to ask directly, so she just kept it to herself.
"Could it be because I'm here with you that she didn't tell me?" Thinking of this, Zheng Wenjing hissed, "So I ruined her plans after all this time?"
"Who knows? It's not certain." Yun Qiao tugged at her sleeve and asked her to sit down. "Wen Jing, don't worry about her. If she really has something to do, she will definitely come back another day. You are just guessing. Let's eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold again."
"Who cares about her!" Zheng Wenjing said awkwardly: "I don't care about her!"
"Yes, yes, you don't care about her at all."
Yun Qiao saw through it but didn't say anything.

After dinner, Zheng Wenjing took the initiative to wash the dishes and then started to boil water and heat the kang.
Yun Qiao looked at her busying around and said with some disapproval, "Wen Jing, you don't have to help me with so much work. I'm sick, not broken. I can do these little things myself."
Zheng Wenjing waved her hand: "It's just a small job, something that happens easily. It won't tire me out."
"Besides, you're sick, so you'd better take a rest. I can only help you if I'm not busy today. Tomorrow, even if you want me to help you with the work, I won't be able to come."
Yun Qiao couldn't persuade her, so he had to let her help with all the work.
Finally, Zheng Wenjing helped Yun Qiao heat up the kang, boiled a pot of water and filled the thermos, and placed it at the head of the bed where Yun Qiao could reach it. After tidying up everything, she left the clinic and returned to the educated youth compound.
After Zheng Wenjing left, Yun Qiao didn't stay up late. After a simple wash, he soaked his feet in hot water, turned off the lights and went to rest.
After a night, Yun Qiao took his temperature again and found that he was no longer feverish. However, his nose was still a little stuffy and he had a runny nose. He also felt lazy and had no strength. He had to rest for a few more days.
After breakfast, the heavy snow finally stopped. Captain Yang and the instructor organized people to come out and sweep the snow. Lu Xun, who lived next door, and Lin Tao and others from the transport team behind were assigned to clean the entire team compound. The few acres of land in front of and behind the clinic were assigned to Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao was a little worried.
If it was in other times, she would have done this snow-sweeping job without hesitation. Unfortunately, she was still sick at that time, and her hands and feet were weak. She didn't even have the strength to hold a shovel, let alone shovel more than ten kilometers of snow.
Yun Qiao stood at the bottom of the corridor, feeling worried. At that moment, Lu Xun, who lived next door, came over carrying a shovel. Seeing Yun Qiao's pale face, he asked worriedly, "Doctor Ye, are you feeling any worse? I heard from Comrade Zheng Wenjing yesterday that you had a fever of over 39 degrees."
Yun Qiao smiled politely: "Thank you for your concern, Comrade Lu. I'm fine now. I didn't have a fever when I woke up the next day."
"If you are not feeling well and can't work, just leave the snow in front of and behind the house for now and don't force yourself. We will clear all the snow in the team compound later and clear the snow for you as well." Lu Xun said with a smile.
"No..." Yun Qiao was about to refuse by waving his hands, when he suddenly saw a military jeep parked outside the team headquarters. Then, a familiar figure in a military coat opened the driver's door and jumped out of the car.
The white snow reflected a dazzling white light in the sunlight. Lu Xun narrowed his eyes and asked uncertainly, "Is that... Comrade He?"
Yun Qiao was stunned for a long moment before he nodded as if he had lost his voice. He uttered a hoarse "hmm," "It seems so."
She had never thought that with so much snow on the road, He Tingjun would still come from dozens of miles away to find her. For a moment, she was deeply moved.
After He Tingjun got out of the car, he did not come over immediately. Instead, he turned around and said something to the people in the car. Then a young comrade in military uniform got out from the back seat of the car, got in, took the driver's seat, and restarted the car.
Yun Qiao saw He Tingjun waving to the people in the car, and then the military jeep turned a corner and slowly drove away from the team headquarters.
After watching the jeep leave, He Tingjun strode towards Yun Qiao, a doting smile on his tough, cold face: "Yun Qiao."
As soon as she saw He Tingjun's handsome face, Yun Qiao felt happy, and a smile appeared unconsciously in her eyes: "You are here."
"Um."
Walking in front of Yun Qiao, He Tingjun's eyes fell on the tip of Yun Qiao's nose, which was red from the cold. "It's so cold outside, why don't you come inside?"
Yun Qiao pointed to the snow in front of the house and said, "We need to sweep the snow."
He Tingjun: "Come in, I'll sweep."
"Tuo."
He Tingjun picked up the shovel standing on the wall and said with a smile as if he had just seen Lu Xun, "Comrade Lu is here too."
Lu Xun's heart was filled with sourness, and he cast a resentful look at him: "Comrade He, I was standing here the whole time."
