"Captain, that's not what we meant. It's like this."
Our teacher is in poor health and has a bad stomach; he can't digest these whole grains well.
So we're thinking of buying some fine grains. You see, we have both money and grain coupons.
We just wanted to buy some flour, eggs, and the like.
He Xincheng quickly came up with an excuse. It would be inappropriate to say that they wanted to indulge in their appetites, so he came up with a perfectly legitimate and reasonable excuse.
Even if the production team leader was blind, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to ask Dr. Chen and the others.
Sure enough, the production team leader looked ashamed upon hearing this.
So that's how it is.
Dr. Chen is not in good health, so I won't say anything more. Just look at him. Even we roughnecks can't digest this coarse grain, let alone him.
Don't worry, leave this to me.
Dr. Chen and his team come to our village every year to provide assistance, saving many people in our village.
How could we stand by and watch Dr. Chen suffer? He's really something; he never complains, no matter how great the difficulties he faces.
Give me the flour and eggs; why would I let you kids pay? Don't worry, we won't take any money.
I'll discuss it with the villagers right away.
He Xincheng hadn't expected the production team leader to be so honest.
He believes everything I say.
But they were also worried that the production team leader was too stubborn and might prepare the supplies and send them directly to Dr. Chen, which would expose the deception.
"Captain, our teacher will absolutely not agree to you taking out these fine grains and eggs."
If you can give us this grain, you must accept the money.
However, you should still hand over these grains to us. We can tell others that we bought them.
Otherwise, our teacher would absolutely refuse to eat it.
Upon hearing this, the production team leader patted his chest and said,
"Don't worry, kids, we know how to do this."
Do you think we don't know Old Chen well?
Don't worry, we'll find the item and give it to you quietly.
We absolutely will not tell Lao Chen that it was us who took it out.
Remember to keep this a secret, and whatever you do, don't let Old Chen find out, otherwise, with his stubborn temper, he'll definitely send everything back to us.
This was exactly what He Xincheng and his team wanted, and the four interns went back.
The next morning, to their surprise, the production team leader secretly delivered the items to them.
Looking at the large basket of eggs that were delivered, which contained at least fifty or sixty eggs, and the small bag of flour, I saw...
Although there isn't much flour, it's definitely white flour.
I lifted the bag and it weighed about fifty or sixty pounds.
The production team leader whispered.
"I'm really sorry. This is all we have right now. Otherwise, in a couple of days, when the market opens, we'll definitely have more food."
We're trying to find a way to get you some more.
"No need, no need, Captain, this is enough. Just call us when the market is in a couple of days. We have money and food coupons, we'll buy it ourselves, how could we take advantage of you?"
He Xincheng felt guilty looking at the simple and honest production team leader. He had lied and deceived people, but the other party had really brought the things.
It's easy to imagine how much effort went into making this.
"Aren't you slapping me in the face?"
Dr. Chen, they're not outsiders at all.
They've saved so many people in our village every year. Even if it's just repaying a debt of gratitude, what's a bite of our flour and eggs compared to that?"
"Alright, we definitely won't take the money. You can just keep this to yourselves."
The production team leader left, and the four men, who had been starving all night, were ravenously hungry.
Now that they had white flour and eggs, they didn't hesitate.
They started a fire in the earthen stove, and although it was a difficult process, they finally got the fire going.
There were two eggs and some flour in the pot for each person.
After fiddling around for a long time, I finally made a pot of white flour dumpling soup.
Although their cooking skills were really not up to par, at least the big bowl of noodle soup with a poached egg was enough to fill their stomachs.
After finishing their meal, the four of them felt like they had finally recovered; this was what life should be like.
Although the taste is a little off, it's still much better than the pig slop we ate yesterday.
After they finished eating, they heard Dr. Chen and the others calling them from outside.
"Let's go, we have to make house calls today."
They set up a table at the threshing ground at the village entrance.
Villagers have started to appear one after another, and everyone is quietly queuing up to see a doctor.
The villagers actually suffer from a variety of illnesses, many of which are underlying conditions. To be precise, they have difficulty seeing clearly, feel dizzy and nauseous when standing up, and have suffered various injuries.
In He Xincheng's eyes, this was just a trivial problem.
Headaches, fevers, colds, stomach aches, and the like are simply a waste of their talents for doctors who specialize in neurosurgery.
But I never expected that Dr. Chen and his team would be so dedicated to treating each patient.
They take even a baby who is only a few months old very seriously.
They didn't understand why Dr. Chen was doing these trivial things; if it were left unattended, they wouldn't be willing to treat these country bumpkins.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
They have treated almost all the diseases in the village. Dr. Chen and his team treated each patient patiently and prescribed appropriate medications and provided treatment for each one.
He Xincheng and the other three also ended up with very full bellies.
With the help of those white flour and eggs, they managed to get by for the week.
