Chapter 62: Going to the Countryside as Educated Youth in the 1970s 25
[This is a parallel fictional world. Please do not take any similarities between place names and people as they appear.]
The tricycle arrived, but Zhang Xiaojia didn't plan to install the shed himself, so He Fei came back and asked him to do it.
She lay in the rocking chair and chatted with Yanyan about gossip.
"Master, several people in the He family suffered from heatstroke. They were scolded when they returned home and were ordered to drink herbal tea tomorrow."
Zhang Xiaojia smiled. More than 20 people did not drink herbal tea. There were more than 20 bundles of firewood every day, so there was a source of firewood for this winter.
Ping An ran over and called out, "Sister, my uncle is coming the day after tomorrow. He said he's free there. Can you help check his legs?"
Zhang Xiaojia looked at him suspiciously and said, "He's safe! How many times has your uncle said he wants to come here? I still say, if he comes, I will definitely show him."
Ping An excitedly said, "My eldest brother will be back the day after tomorrow."
This is good news. I can see He Fei the day after tomorrow.
Zhang Xiaojia took a look and said, "Why are you alone? Where's Pangpang?"
"Uncle Nineteen is back and went to see Fatty's mother and grandmother. Fatty was worried and went with them."
"How is Pangpang feeling?" Zhang Xiaojia asked a little worriedly.
"Well, Uncle Nineteen was just beaten by Grandpa with a stick. Fatty was in a good mood after seeing it."
Well, I'm glad I didn't get wronged.
Let’s make some mung bean soup! It will be hot when Pangpang comes back from the mountain, and it will be just right to quench his thirst.
Time passed quickly and He Fei came back soon. Zhang Xiaojia was very happy.
Ping'an's uncle was taken to the health center by Ping'an's mother Su Lanhua early in the morning and brought to the temporary clinic. Zhang Xiaojia examined his legs. Fortunately, she had a cheating tool. After Xiao Ai scanned his legs for her, she found out that the connection was not good and the bones did not heal, so re-surgery was needed.
Su Lanhua asked anxiously, "Xiao Jia, can my brother's leg be cured?"
Zhang Xiaojia said, "Your leg was a comminuted fracture and it wasn't properly set. You need surgery to re-set the bones, but it's not a big problem."
Su Lanhua felt relieved and asked, "Xiao Jia, can I have the surgery today?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded. "No problem."
Su Lanhua made the decision and said, "Excuse me, Xiaojia, we will perform the operation immediately."
"Wait..." Su Liang shouted, "Sister, I only have half a month's vacation, and I have to go back to the farm in half a month. I don't have enough time."
Zhang Xiaojia said calmly, "It's not too late. Your leg will be basically healed in ten days. There won't be any big problems." She thought to herself that if there was a medical cabin, it would only take half a day to heal you. However, she had an interstellar bone-setting ointment. As long as the bone was repositioned and the ointment was applied, the bone would be healed in seven days without even requiring rehabilitation.
Su Liang wanted to protest, but Su Lanhua hit him with a pillow, cursing as she hit him, "Am I negotiating with you? I'm ordering you to get treatment whether you want to or not. I'm giving you face, right?"
It looked like surgery was necessary, so Zhang Xiaojia went straight to the operating room to prepare the tools.
An hour later, Su Liang was lying on the operating table. Zhang Xiaojia handed him a glass of water. He drank it and fell down in less than 3 seconds.
"Master, what should I do?"
"Take the patient's pulse. If it's low, just tell me."
Zhang Xiaojia had X-rays of his leg on her computer. She bypassed the meridians and nerves, using acupuncture to seal the blood around the incision site. Then, she carefully cut through the skin and muscle tissue, exposing the comminuted bone fracture. She used various tools to meticulously reposition the broken bones and secured them with Star Bone-setting Ointment. The entire process required a high degree of skill and patience to ensure proper bone healing.
After 2 hours of hard work, the operation was finally completed.
"Yan Yan, how's your pulse?"
“Steady and powerful”
"Do you want to sprinkle hemostatic powder or suture?" Zhang Xiaojia hesitated.
"It will be very painful. Will my uncle move his legs? If he injures his legs again, the surgery will be in vain."
Zhang Xiaojia thought about whether to sprinkle hemostatic powder or suture the wound, and finally decided to suture the wound and cover it with sterile dressing.
"Yan Yan, I've sealed the patient's leg meridians. He can't move or feel anything for six hours. Tell him not to panic."
When Zhang Xiaojia came out of the operating room, he saw Su Lanhua waiting with a bowl of chicken soup. Zhang Xiaojia looked at the oil on the chicken soup and sighed, "Yan Yan, tell your uncle's mother about the diet after the operation. Have someone carry the bed and the patient to the ward. They can be discharged after three days. Please disinfect the operating room. I'm going to take a shower."
"Yes, Master."
When Zhang Xiaojia came out of the shower, she saw a tall man with a crew cut and a military uniform. He looked like a perfect blend of masculinity and femininity. His features were clean-cut, with soft lines, fair skin, and a gentle yet determined gaze.
He Fei walked over, held her in his arms, and whispered, "Xiao Jia, I'm back."
"Welcome back." Zhang Xiaojia said softly.
Zhang Xiaojia added, "I just performed surgery on your uncle, and I'm going to see him now."
He Fei followed her and decided to never come back to this era again, an era where even holding hands in public was not allowed.
Ping An saw his elder brother and rushed to him. "Brother, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Xiaojia, my sister. Sister, this is He Fei, my elder brother."
He Fei said with a wicked smile, "Ping An, if she is your sister, don't call me big brother, please call me brother-in-law, thank you."
He Fei held Zhang Xiaojia's hand.
Ping An was stunned and suddenly shouted, "You are the bad guy who took my sister away. Sister, my eldest brother is 25 years old. He is not worthy of you at this age."
He Fei slapped Ping An on the head, the unlucky kid.
Zhang Xiaojia was too lazy to care about the brothers' lawsuit. He took Su Liang's pulse and found it steady and strong. The patient was estimated to need another two hours to wake up.
Zhang Xiaojia asked, "Ping An, are you alone?"
"Yeah, my mother took my second cousin home and asked her to teach her how to make nutritious meals after the operation. My eldest sister and my father have to go to work and will come at noon."
"Just watch, your uncle will probably need two hours."
Zhang Xiaojia turned to He Fei and said, "Let's go. Accompany me to the mountains to collect herbs."
He Fei said to Ping An proudly, "Take good care of your uncle."
Zhang Xiaojia called Xiaoyi and told him that she was going to the mountain to collect herbs. If there was anything in the bathroom, she should go next door to call Yanyan first and then come to find her.
Xiaoyi didn't hear what Zhang Xiaojia said at all. He kept staring at He Fei fiercely, wishing he could kick him out.
Zhang Xiaojia left Xiaoai behind and told it to notify her if any patient came.
Zhang Xiaojia pulled He Fei away directly.
He Fei was familiar with this mountain. During those difficult three years, he went up the mountain every day to look for caves to store food. He took Xiao Jia directly to a secret cave.
He Fei took Zhang Xiaojia in. There was an invisible cave inside the cave. Zhang Xiaojia handed the space button to He Fei, and He Fei directly took out a table and a sofa.
"Brother He, take out the mini light energy machine"
He Fei immediately took it out and put it on her.
Zhang Xiaojia leaned on He Fei's shoulder and said softly, "Why didn't you tell me that you already knew I was a time traveler."
"I'm afraid, but I don't want you to be sad or embarrassed. I don't want you to feel that I'm wronged or sorry for having such a bad idea. I'm afraid that you will fall in love with someone else in the future, and I'm even more afraid that you will be alone in the future. It's great that I can accompany you." He Fei said, hugging her.
"Have you been living well since I left?"
He Fei didn't say anything, but the expression on his face told Zhang Xiaojia clearly.
Zhang Xiaojia leaned against him, crying silently.
He Fei wiped her tears in a hurry and said, "I'm here. I will always be by your side."
Zhang Xiaojia choked up and said, "Okay, He Fei, since you've come after me, don't back down. You said you would always be behind me, and likewise, I will always be by your side."
"Okay." He Fei said affirmatively.
After Zhang Xiaojia recovered, He Fei asked, "Xiaojia, you have a system, why don't I have one? The jade pendant that makes your wish come true has become a mark on my arm."
"My system said that it is impossible for Dream Come True to take you through time travel. It said that you might also be a senior who traveled through time and space and likes to play in small worlds without any memories." Zhang Xiaojia told He Fei what 3095 told her.
He Fei thought for a second, then couldn't remember anything, so he said, "Xiao Jia, next time your system comes, call me and I'll see if I can communicate with it."
"Then I'll try calling it." Xiao Jia said, and called 3095 desperately, but 3095 was as if it had never appeared, and there was no response at all.
Zhang Xiaojia whispered, "It ignores me"
"It doesn't matter. There's still a long way to go. By the way, what was your original owner's wish?"
Zhang Xiaojia then told the original owner a brief introduction and the original owner's wishes.
He Fei thought for a moment and said, "Except for the main quest, the other three are all long-term quests. If you die, your father will definitely collapse. Once your father collapses, Ms. Zhu will definitely not be happy. I will avenge Zhang Xiaoli. I heard your introduction. Ms. Zhu would rather jump into the river with her daughter to commit suicide in order to escape from her first husband's family. It shows that she hates that place to death. What if Zhang Xiaoli recognizes her biological father's family? If she says that it was Ms. Zhu who prevented her from recognizing them, Ms. Zhu will be heartbroken!"
Zhang Xiaojia looked at He Fei with a smile and said, "Brother He, what you think is exactly the same as what I think, but I can't go back to Zhongcheng Pingyuan."
He Fei smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I'm going to Zhongcheng Pingzhiyuan for a meeting during the National Day month."
"What a coincidence! My dad is also going to a meeting in Nakajo Hirahara."
He Fei's mouth twitched, future father-in-law!
Zhang Xiaojia burst into laughter when he saw He Fei's expression.
He Fei took out all his supplies and gave them to Zhang Xiaojia, saying, "Xiaojia, in this era, men have to give their wages to their wives. You see, these are my wages, and I used my vacation time to use my mental power to change other people's nerves so that they can't see me clearly. I used the money I earned to buy the food I grew in the space."
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the two stacks of money and was about to put them together, but was stopped by He Fei. Zhang Xiaojia immediately glared at him.
He Fei immediately explained, "Xiao Jia, this smaller amount of money is my salary and bonus, and this larger amount is what I earned from selling grain. I'll give it to you. Buy whatever you want."
Zhang Xiaojia asked tentatively, "In your previous life, did you care what others said about you?"
He Fei smiled and shook his head. "If you want to be a gigolo, then be a gigolo. Aren't you, my dad, and the Crown Prince also cheating each other all day long? I don't care. You cheated my dad, and I don't care. My dad cheated you, and you told me, and I pretended not to know. You just need to know that no matter what you do, I'm behind you."
"Of course, you don't need to worry about it. I can handle it myself. Just focus on your research. Besides, the three of you are not doing this for yourself. You all have your own responsibilities. You are working for the benefit of the country. How could you possibly give up the national interest for personal connections? That's why you say playing politics is really dirty."
