Quick mission: We don't make trouble

As soon as Wang Xiangdong entered the city, he waved goodbye to Shopkeeper Yang and headed straight for the Guandi Temple. Along the way, he walked hurriedly, his heart filled with concern for Zhu's father and mother.

As time went on, the conditions of most of the patients gradually improved. The Guandi Temple, once surrounded by crowds, was no longer under lockdown. Numerous elderly people and children emerged from their humble huts to enjoy the warm sunshine. Some sat on small benches, basking in the sun while busily working on their tasks. Others gathered together, chatting about family matters and occasionally bursting into cheerful laughter.

When Wang Xiangdong entered the Guandi Temple, he immediately saw Mother Zhu surrounded by a group of women. They sat in a circle, talking about something, which occasionally caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Elsewhere, Father Zhu sat at an old wooden table, brush in hand, writing intently. The experienced doctor from Huichun Hall and the military medic from the barracks stood to his left and right, their gazes fixed on the papers on the table, expressions of seriousness and earnestness.

Wang Xiangdong didn't rush forward to interrupt Father Zhu, but chose to walk towards Mother Zhu first. When he got closer, he bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Madam, I'm back."

Hearing the voice, Mother Zhu turned around, a kind smile on her face, and responded, "Oh, it's Guard Wang. You're finally back. Tell me quickly, what's the situation over there?"

When everyone saw that Mother Zhu was about to talk to Guard Wang, they all understood what she meant and tactfully bowed and said goodbye before leaving.

Wang Xiangdong stepped forward, approached Mother Zhu, and lowered his voice, saying, "Madam, don't worry, everything is fine over there. Team Leader Yang's injuries are recovering well, and he can now sit up, but his feet still need to be rested and can't move freely. When he heard that the potato and sweet potato yields were quite high, he couldn't hold back any longer and was determined to repair the road as soon as possible so that he could return and try planting! To this end, Shopkeeper Yang has already gone to the county magistrate to request that he send people to repair the road."

Mother Zhu nodded slightly, agreeing, "Yes, this road really needs to be repaired as soon as possible. We shouldn't stay here for too long, or else, if something unexpected happens, we'll be hard-pressed to escape. Look at those two doctors, they're constantly pestering your Uncle Zhu about medicine. Look, your Uncle Zhu has even taken the trouble to write down prescriptions that aren't available in the Great Zhou."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangdong nodded as if suddenly understanding something. "So that's how it is, Father Zhu is actually writing prescriptions for them." After a brief pause, he couldn't help but sigh, "This place is indeed quite backward. Anything we can teach them is naturally the better. After all, every new remedy could save countless lives."

Mother Zhu smiled and agreed, "That's exactly why I'm doing my best to teach the women here some gynecological knowledge and childbirth tips. I think every bit they learn is helpful."

Wang Xiangdong: "I also promised Team Leader Yang to go to the capital to help grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. If we can plant them on a large scale, the grain production of the Great Zhou will increase significantly in the future, and the people will be able to have enough to eat."

Mother Zhu agreed, "Yes, that's true. Qingqing and I have also discussed this issue. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. But it would be best if we could develop in the prefectural capital. The prefectural capital is big, and with the help of the Yang family, some things will be accepted and spread quickly."

Wang Xiangdong: "Yes. Our current goal is the same, which is to quickly build the road and develop in the provincial capital."

Mother Zhu: "Xiao Wang, your Uncle Zhu and I don't need you to guard here, you should go to the caravan and help."

Wang Xiangdong: "I also want to help build the road. Team Leader Yang said that the caravan also needs to start construction at the same time, so we can't just sit and wait. He even arranged for Shopkeeper Yang to buy tools. I'll go over there tomorrow to replace Sister Zhu to come back and accompany you."

Mother Zhu: "That's fine. Let Qingqing come back and help me. You, a man, are not suitable to follow me."
