Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth
Chapter 35 Borrowing Medicine from Xiahe Village
Zhao Baogen heard the noise outside and quickly stood up and walked out.
Seeing this, the others didn't care whether they were still discussing Gu Zhan's private change of the type of medicine he bought. They left their seats and ran out to stand far away to watch the fun.
As soon as Zhao Baogen went out, he saw Li Quan, the team leader of Xiahe Village, standing at the entrance of the team office.
Zhao Baogen was very puzzled. Why did Li Quan come here at this time?
"Oh, Brother Zhao, I finally see you."
Zhao Baogen was a little overwhelmed by Li Quan's sudden enthusiasm.
"Captain Li, what are you doing?"
"I heard that the cows in Shanghe Village are also sick?"
Zhao Baogen frowned, not knowing what Li Quan was up to, and said truthfully, "Yes."
When Li Quan heard what Zhao Baogen said, his expression became even more excited than before: "I also heard that the cows in our village are almost recovered."
"Things have just started to improve in the past few days."
"Oh, Brother Zhao, our Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village are closely connected. You must help me this time."
In recent years, the production of Xiahe Village has not been as good as that of Shanghe Village. The people of Xiahe Village unanimously compare themselves with the people of Shanghe Village. In addition, several people in the village are now eyeing Li Quan's position, waiting for Li Quan to make a mistake and kick him down.
So much so that in the past two years, in addition to working diligently, Li Quan also had an indescribable hostility towards Zhao Baogen.
Hearing this, Zhao Baogen also saw Li Quan's purpose. However, this person in front of him usually liked to put on airs. Now Zhao Baogen simply did not take the initiative to speak, and waited for the other party to make it clear: "Brother, what you said is true. As long as I can help, just tell me."
"That's right, brother." Li Quan glanced at the people around him who were openly eavesdropping, then pulled Zhao Baogen to an open area not far away and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhao, all the cattle in our team are sick, and two of them are dying. You know, oxen are the lifeblood of our production team, and we simply can't afford to lose any."
As he spoke, tears welled up in Li Quan's eyes.
Even if Zhao Baogen was satisfied with Li Quan, he could still feel the same way. It was really hard for farmers to live these days.
After much thought, Zhao Baogen still couldn't bear it, so he asked, "How do you want me to help you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Quan's eyes were filled with hope: "Brother, I didn't come here for any other reason. I just wanted to ask you how you cured this cow."
Zhao Baogen briefly described the Shanghe Village production team's cows' illness and treatment. Li Quan frowned after listening and said, "Brother, I'm afraid it's too late to go to the city now. Those two cows are almost dying."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Quan continued, "Brother, how about this? Can you give us a few of your medicines? We'll return you in full when we get some medicine from the city?"
Zhao Baogen hesitated. Among the six cows in Shanghe Village, the three with milder symptoms have basically recovered to normal now, but it is still uncertain how many days the three with more serious conditions will need to take medication. It is really hard to say whether there will be any left in the end.
But seeing Li Quan like this, Zhao Baogen couldn't bear it.
With a heavy sigh, Zhao Baogen turned around and called out to Gu Zhan, who was about to go back: "Gu Zhan, don't go back yet, come here."
Gu Zhan was worried that Liu Xiaoxi was worried about him. Seeing that they had almost finished talking about the matter and there was nothing else for him to do, he turned around and went home.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, he heard Zhao Baogen's voice and turned back.
"Captain."
"This is Captain Li from Xiahe Village, the one you met last time."
"Hello, Comrade Gu Zhan."
Li Quan changed his previous hesitation and arrogance and took the initiative to greet Gu Zhan enthusiastically.
"Gu family boy, Captain Li asked if we could spare some medicine for them. Two of their cows are seriously ill."
Gu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "It should be enough for two cows a day. I'm afraid it won't be enough for more."
After hearing what Gu Zhan said, Li Quan felt relieved despite his worries. It was good to be able to hold on for one day. They sent someone to the city to buy medicine tonight, so it should be in time.
"Thank you, thank you Brother Zhao and Comrade Gu Zhan."
Li Quan took the medicine, got on his bicycle and left quickly.
Gu Zhan was silent for a long time as he watched Li Quan's disappearing figure. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Zhao Baogen took out a piece of paper and handed it to Gu Zhan: "Gu family boy, this is the approval document for the homestead. The place approved by the brigade is at the east end of the village, which is also close to the well. Do you think it's okay?"
Gu Zhan thought about it and realized that the east end of the village was close to the road and the water source. He believed that Zhao Baogen must have put a lot of thought into choosing this address.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao."
"You kid, why are you being so polite to your Uncle Zhao? Go home quickly, it's almost dark."
Seeing Li Quan crying today because of the oxen, and Zhao Baogen's previous cherishment of the oxen, Gu Zhan felt mixed emotions.
On the way back, he kept thinking about how to save these oxen that shoulder important production responsibilities.
After thinking about it over and over again, I still couldn't figure it out, so I just gave up for the time being.
The two of them were tired after a day of work and didn't want to move at this moment. Gu Zhan's arms were very sore from carrying things all the way, so he simply hugged Liu Xiaoxi and lay on the kang to rest for a while.
Gu Zhan woke up around nine in the evening. The curtains were not drawn, and the faint moonlight shone through the window into the room, making the room, which should have been pitch black, a little bright.
Gu Zhan felt unusually calm, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. Before long, he fell into a deep sleep again.
The next morning, when Liu Xiaoxi woke up, Gu Zhan was already sitting at the only table in the room and started working.
Liu Xiaoxi was afraid of disturbing Gu Zhan, so she tiptoed to put on her clothes and was about to get off the kang when she heard Gu Zhan suddenly say, "Awake?"
Liu Xiaoxi was startled by the sudden sound. She stopped her funny movements, put on her shoes, and ran to Gu Zhan's side: "How did you know I was up?"
Gu Zhan took the time to look away from the book and glanced at Liu Xiaoxi: "Hmm... maybe I have eyes in the back of my head too."
Liu Xiaoxi was amused by his serious words and laughed for a long time before she stopped.
Liu Xiaoxi's eyes accidentally swept across the English book that Gu Zhanping had spread out on the table. Pointing at the words in surprise, she said, "Such densely packed words, and you can actually understand them?"
Gu Zhan looked up and met Liu Xiaoxi's admiring expression. He pretended to be proud and said, "What do you think? Do you think your man is amazing?"
"What..." Liu Xiaoxi was stunned by Gu Zhan's confidence. She opened her mouth for a moment, not knowing how to answer. How could someone praise her like that?
