Chapter 69 Stay



Her lips trembled as she opened her mouth wide. She looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao, but was so scared that she couldn't speak.

Zhang Dazui was just that kind of person, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, especially those with power and money. In her eyes, the educated youth were city dwellers, people who were "superior" to her country folk.

If Jiang Xiaoqiao ignored her or showed weakness to her, Zhang Dazui would have a strange sense of vanity that she was superior to others.

But now Jiang Xiaoqiao was more powerful than her, so she opened her mouth but dared not speak, and shrank back like a quail.

Jiang Xiaoqiao glanced at Zhang Dazui and the few people who had just gathered with her to gossip, snorted coldly, and then continued walking towards the brigade clinic.

After Jiang Xiaoqiao walked away, Zhang Dazui dared to whisper, "Bah, a slut dares to show off in front of me!"

Of course, Zhang Dazui didn't dare say this too loudly, for fear that Jiang Xiaoqiao would hear it and really drag her to do PD.

Jiang Xiaoqiao arrived at the clinic and found Mr. Zhou still basking in the sun in the backyard.

"Mr. Zhou? Are you there?"

The old man came out from behind with his hands behind his back, looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao, and said, "Where are you hurt?"

Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm not injured."

Hearing this, the old man put his hands behind his back and wanted to go back to the backyard.

Jiang Xiaoqiao quickly stated her purpose, otherwise she was afraid that Mr. Zhou would not even want to pay attention to her.

"Mr. Zhou, the captain asked me to be your assistant. I wanted to ask what your plans are."

"Assistant?" Mr. Zhou frowned and said, "I don't lack people."

This is true. Although Mr. Zhou has superb medical skills, the number of members in the forward team is also quite large.

But in this day and age, who would seek medical help for a minor injury or pain? People would endure minor injuries and illnesses, and would only come to the clinic for a checkup when they really couldn't bear it anymore.

Therefore, Mr. Zhou is quite free on weekdays.

He has only rescued people three times this year. Once, Jiang Xiaoqiao fainted after fighting with human traffickers on the mountain, and was carried to Gu Xiangbei for medical treatment. Another time, Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei encountered gangsters on the mountain, one injured his foot and the other injured his hand. Another time was when he went to see Gu Xiangbei's leg yesterday.

Jiang Xiaoqiao also knew that the clinic was not short of staff. If Mr. Zhou didn't want to accept her, she could go and talk to the team leader, and she could then continue to ask for leave.

Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "The captain told me to come here, and also said that if you have any ideas, Mr. Zhou, you can go to him."

Go find the captain, go find the captain, go find the captain...

Jiang Xiaoqiao began to pray three times in her heart. Old Zhou stopped, turned around, and looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao seriously.

He said, "Then stay."

Jiang Xiaoqiao's eyes widened, "Huh?"

Mr. Zhou said unhappily, "What? Come in."

Jiang Xiaoqiao followed him into the backyard, and Old Zhou sat back in his recliner, swaying back and forth.

"Move those herbs out to dry, making sure they're all exposed to the sun. Collect them in half an hour and put them in the herbal medicine room over there."

"By the way, come back an hour after work every morning, and come back at noon and in the afternoon according to your work schedule."

"you……"

Mr. Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Just dry the herbs for the next few days and cook for me."

Old Zhou thought secretly: It can be considered as a treat from Old Gu. Sending a young man here is not useless. At least I can cook for him.

He really couldn't eat the food he cooked himself. Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao and asked, "Can you cook?"

Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "I will."

Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "Okay."

It’s enough if you can cook. At least your cooking skills are better than his.

Jiang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips. Seeing that Mr. Zhou had no intention of continuing to speak, she took two steps forward and wanted to put forward her own small request.

"Mr. Zhou..."

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Mr. Zhou lazily responded, and Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Can I cook medicinal food for Gu Xiangbei here every day, and then go to deliver it to him at one o'clock in the afternoon? I promise to be back within half an hour."

"What medicinal food should I cook?"

"I stumbled across a recipe in a book for nourishing Qi and blood, and regulating the body."

"Okay, if you need any herbs, feel free to take them."

Mr. Zhou didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just an ordinary medicinal soup to nourish yin and tonify the kidneys.

On Jiang Xiaoqiao's first day as an assistant at the clinic, she spent half an hour turning over and drying the herbs, and then twenty minutes collecting them.

Then, Jiang Xiaoqiao cooked a pot of mushroom noodle soup for Mr. Zhou in the kitchen in the backyard.

Mr. Zhou asked her to fill a lunch box before leaving, as a reward for Jiang Xiaoqiao's drying of herbs and cooking this afternoon.

"Mr. Zhou, the team leader has already said he will give me five work points a day."

"What he gave was what he gave, and what I gave was what I gave." Zhou Laodao said, "You are my assistant, so of course you have to listen to me."

Jiang Xiaoqiao returned to the educated youth site carrying an enamel pot of mushroom soup noodles. Zhou Yan and the others had just returned.

"It smells so good!" Fan Jiabao was the first to speak, his eyes fixed on the enamel pot in Jiang Xiaoqiao's hand.

"Xiao Qiao, you're back? Did you go to work in the afternoon?" Zheng Shengnan asked with concern.

Zhou Yan and He Huaijun were preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Jiang Xiaoqiao said: "Yes, I went to work this afternoon."

Although I only worked for less than an hour, it was still work.

"I'm an assistant at the clinic now. If you feel unwell, please tell me and I can buy you some medicine."

"Health clinic assistant?"

Fan Jiabao was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why the gap was so big, but he still gave Jiang Xiaoqiao a thumbs up.

"Xiao Qiao, good job!"

Zheng Shengnan was obviously much more excited. "Ah, really? Xiao Qiao, you are so promising!"

When Jiang Xiaoqiao was praised by the four educated youth for becoming an assistant in the clinic, Gu Xiangbei was "playing like a mushroom" in the room.

Gu Yuting was also in Gu Xiangbei's room, sitting next to him.

Gu Yuting didn't say anything, but just quietly accompanied Gu Xiangbei in a daze.

Gu Jinhua served two bowls of rice separately, one was a large bowl, full of rice, and the other was a small bowl. Gu Yuting didn't have a big appetite, so she couldn't eat too much.

“It’s time to eat!”

Gu Jinhua said, "Old Four, you must not lead our Yuting astray. She eats little to begin with. Take her along for dinner."

"Okay." Gu Xiangbei responded in a muffled voice.

He picked up the chopsticks and mechanically went through the motions of eating and swallowing.

Gu Yuting, who was standing next to him, watched him and slowly moved to the small table on the bed, then started eating in small bites.

Gu Jinhua stood in the room watching the two, one big and one small, eating. For some reason, she felt sad.

She turned her back, wiped her eyes with her hand, and left the room.

"How is it? Is the fourth brother willing to eat?" Gu Weimin asked with concern.

No one else in the yard picked up their chopsticks. They were all waiting for Gu Jinhua's answer.
