Chapter 107 No matter what happens, go to the third palace
The sun gradually rose higher, and Zhou Ruoyu happened to be standing in the sun. She didn't know if it was because of the sun or because Lu Qinchuan was looking at her, but beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and went into the west room. She handed Lu Xiaohua another pill and said, "It seems that we can only live here for now. However, it is unlikely that we can eat and live for free. We can do the basics to the best of our ability. Cooking is still possible."
"Zhou Ruoyu, are you still a human being? I'm in this state, and you still want to treat me like a slave!"
She threw the medicine aside in anger, tears rolling down her face silently again.
"Eat it or not, firstly, I didn't cause your injury, and secondly, we don't seem to have any friendship at all. Why should I support you? If you don't agree to cook, then you can move out."
Zhou Ruoyu's face was gloomy and looked rather frightening. Lu Xiaohua wiped away a tear and looked towards the main hall for help, but her fourth brother was nowhere to be seen.
She had nowhere to go. All the jobs were taken by Su Hongmei, and it was naturally impossible for her to go back to the single dormitory provided by the supply and marketing cooperative.
As for Zhou Ruoyu, she felt that if she could say it, she could do it. Biting her lower lip tightly, she nodded silently, agreeing.
Almost all creatures in nature have natural enemies. Lu Xiaohua felt sadly that her natural enemy might be Zhou Ruoyu. She looked at her injured ankle helplessly, and deeply felt that although she had been trying her best to get rid of the shadow cast by Zhou Ruoyu around her since she was a child, there was always an invisible sense of destiny that made her get closer and closer to Zhou Ruoyu.
Something was stuck in Lu Qinchuan's throat, but before he could ask, the door opened and Gao Weiguo came in: "Commander, someone from the local township commune has arrived. They just arrived at the regiment headquarters."
Lu Qinchuan asked as he put on his military uniform, "Didn't the farm expand and provide them with some jobs? What else do they want to talk about?"
Gao Weiguo replied, "It was the township head who came. I asked him what the matter was, but he seemed uncomfortable telling me and only said he wanted to discuss it with Captain Lu."
He raised an eyebrow, straightened his appearance, and said nothing more.
The local government needs to help them and naturally cannot sit idly by. Only when the army loves the people can the people support the army. The army and the people are one family.
When Lu Qinchuan was first promoted to battalion commander, he saved several local children from the Shepherd Valley wildfire, but was injured himself. Therefore, the name Lu Qinchuan is also very prestigious and respected among the local people.
As soon as I entered the regiment headquarters, the village head Qiao Changsheng came up to me with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Captain Lu. I just heard that you got a promotion. It's really great news!"
Lu Qinchuan had dealt with Mayor Qiao several times before, and he was quite smooth and sophisticated. They had no prior contact, but it was clear he was visiting without a reason. Seeing how earnestly he smiled, he definitely had something to ask.
But one shouldn't hit a smiling face. Although Lu Qinchuan disliked him, he didn't show it. He also extended his hand warmly and shook hands with him vigorously. "Village Head Qiao, you are so polite. What good wind brought you here today?"
"Hey, Captain Lu, I'm here specifically to ask for someone from our army!" Qiao Changsheng lowered his voice, "It's about the construction of our township health center."
Lu Qinchuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile. He shook his head and said, "Village Head Qiao, you really flatter me. The doctors and nurses in the military hospital are directly managed by the Logistics Department. I'm just a small regiment commander, and I don't have the ability to affect their relationships."
After saying this, he shrugged slightly.
When Qiao Changsheng heard this, he immediately put on a frightened look on his face. He waved his hands and said, "Oh, I don't deserve it. How dare we trouble a doctor from the military hospital in this remote place like we are?" As he spoke, he took a few steps back exaggeratedly, as if he was really scared.
The orderly, Xiao Jiang, brought in two cups of tea. Qiao Changsheng stopped talking and greeted Xiao Jiang with a wry smile, "Hello, hello."
Xiao Jiang was smart. When he saw this, he knew that he had something to say and only wanted to talk to Lu Qinchuan alone. He nodded politely, put down the teacup, went out, and closed the door from the outside.
Qiao Changsheng held the teacup in both hands, a smile on his face as he said, "We are very grateful that your group's pig farm was built in Heping Village.
Not only that, they also allocated several positions for us to work at the pig farm. But what the villagers praised most was that you had a temporary female comrade who knew how to dispense medicine and give injections, and she provided great help to the people of Heping Village.
Hearing this, Tan Ying's face immediately appeared in Lu Qinchuan's mind. He knew very well that she would not be content with the status quo, but he did not expect her to act so quickly and seize the opportunity so accurately, setting her sights on supporting the army and loving the people.
"We're planning to build a township health center. I heard she previously worked in a military hospital. The people of Heping Village urged me to recommend her, so I took the trouble to come and discuss this with Captain Lu. Haha."
Qiao Changsheng directly pushed the people of Heping Village to the front to see what Lu Qinchuan would say.
Tan Ying herself wasn't a military member, so at best, her treatment was similar to that of a military dependent. Therefore, there was no need to consult the military district; Lu Qinchuan could make the final decision.
"It is our duty to solve problems for the local residents, and it is also our honor to contribute to the construction of the township health center. She herself has no objection, and the regiment will certainly support it. It will benefit her and the local residents."
It's a favor, so you have to do it.
Qiao Changsheng immediately stood up, his face beaming with joy. "Captain Lu is so forthright! It's a small, poor place like ours where professional doctors are reluctant to come. Having a few more people like her would be a huge help to us. Thank you, Captain Lu."
After saying that, he stretched out his hands and shook them vigorously to show his gratitude.
After seeing Qiao Changsheng off, Lu Qinchuan called over the orderly, Xiao Jiang, and asked, "Any news about Tan Ying since she arrived at the pig farm?"
"Tan Ying? Nurse Tan? No," Xiao Jiang answered firmly. "Chef Qian from the cafeteria often goes to the pig farm and has spoken highly of her. She helps out honestly and doesn't gossip. She's been very good."
Since she was an insignificant person anyway, Xiao Jiang didn't care too much and casually searched for the only remaining memory of her.
"Tell Gao Weiguo to maintain communication with the township and ensure a smooth handover of Tan Ying's position. Arrange for someone else to take over her current position when the time comes."
Xiao Jiang finally came to his senses. "Captain, Township Chief Qiao actually came to you because of her? Is she trying to get close to Township Chief Qiao again?"
Seeing Lu Qinchuan frowning at him, he scratched his head, realizing he had spoken out of turn. He immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, I'll go find Captain Gao right away!"
