Chapter 56 Asthma
"Okay, now that everyone has no objection, Su Taotao will officially become the accountant of the village office and start working in the office today. The meeting is adjourned." The team leader announced with finality.
"Congratulations, Su Taotao, work hard in the future." The village chief came over and said with a smile. Su Tao gave him too many surprises today.
"Okay, thank you, village chief." Su Tao knew that the village chief had helped a lot today, and he was very grateful in his heart.
After the meeting, people in the square gradually left. The competition took quite a while, so they had to hurry up and get on the court.
He Xinyi still stood in the square, a look of disbelief and hysteria on her face. None of the educated youth dared approach her. Shen Ziqian and Yongmei, who were closer to her, were the only ones who didn't have the heart to comfort her. He Xinyi, lost in her own world, simply wouldn't listen. They had no choice but to give up. They, too, had to earn points. Without them, they couldn't eat. Not everyone had Su Tao's privileges. This was one of the reasons he was often envied.
Su Tao looked at He Xinyi's expression, feeling relieved. If she didn't seek death, she wouldn't die. She didn't offend anyone, but people always tried to offend her. Even a clay Buddha still had some temper. They really thought she, Su Tao, was a soft persimmon that was easy to squeeze.
Su Tao walked briskly towards He Chuan, with her chin slightly raised, looking at He Chuan coquettishly. That little expression was saying, "I can do it, right? Come on, praise me, come on, praise me!"
He Chuan curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile, and reached out to ruffle Su Tao's hair, as if praising a child, "Well, our Su Tao is really capable!"
Su Tao slapped the hands that were messing with his head, straightened his hair, and stared at He Chuan with round eyes, looking like an angry little squirrel. He said coquettishly, "What are you doing? Just praise me, why do you have to use force? I have to go to the office later to report. How can I face people?"
He Chuan laughed even more happily when he heard Su Tao's complaints.
"I'm on duty." Su Tao turned around and walked towards the village office with a proud look on his face.
When Su Tao arrived at the office, he found that there was an old accountant, Sister Jiang, who had heard about Su Tao's deeds and knew that Su Tao had a capable young woman, and did not dare to look down on her.
Jiang explained her job to Su Tao, which primarily involved calculating and collating points and accounting for procurement expenditures. Su Tao wasn't responsible for the actual point registration and review; he only needed to consolidate and calculate the registered points.
Su Tao found the work easier than she'd imagined, and with her efficiency, she could finish the previous day's workload in half a day. She still had half a day to spare, and she remembered that the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination) would be reinstated next year, so she needed to find some high school textbooks to study in advance. After all, it had been so many years since she graduated, and her high school knowledge was a bit fuzzy. Furthermore, the Gaokao, which was decades ago, probably wouldn't be the same as it would be in later generations.
Su Tao's days in the office were comfortable and fulfilling, but the weather turned cold in a blink of an eye.
Late at night, Su Tao was awakened by a violent coughing sound coming from He Yanzhi's room next door. Su Tao put on a piece of clothing and went to He Yanzhi's room. The light was on in He Yanzhi's room. He Chuan had already come over and held the little girl in his arms, patting her back non-stop, trying to help her breathe better.
Su Tao saw that He Yanzhi's face was pale, and her little hands were pressing on her chest. She seemed to be having difficulty breathing, her breathing was becoming more and more rapid, and she was coughing violently.
Su Tao walked forward and asked worriedly, "What happened to Yanzhi?"
He Chuan's face was gloomy, and he whispered, "She has had this disease since she was born. She has been weak since she was a child, and she is prone to illness when the seasons change. I have taken her to see many doctors, but none of them can cure her." It was all his fault for being incompetent. He Chuan clutched his pants tightly, his clenched fists were bulging with veins, and his knuckles were numb.
