Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Midterm Exams Are Coming Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Midterm Exams Are Coming As the working day was nearly over, the neighboring village’s doctor, who worked at the commune’s health clinic, took a detour to the Qingshan Village headquarters to relay Stone’s situation to the branch secretary and the village head, explaining that he ca on the orders of the clinic’s director.
The doctor said, “The twenty yuan that was paid has already been spent, and now there are outstanding dical fees. If the fees are not replenished, the clinic won’t be able to continue giving Stone IV drips for the inflammation, and the consequences could be unimaginable.”
The Sun Family was called back from the fields early. Both the branch secretary and the village head were in a headache-inducing dilemma, as they hadn’t co up with a solution by the ti work in the fields ended for the day.
The Sun Family Main Wife and the third wife started to bla the second wife. If it weren’t for the incident they caused, they wouldn’t be in such an embarrassing situation.
After finishing work, Luo Qiao went straight ho to cook. Today she made mung bean porridge, stead two sugar-filled buns and flower rolls, stir-fried a dish of anise hyssop, and smashed a cucumber.
No sooner had she finished cooking than she heard soone calling from outside the front door. Luo Qiao washed her hands quickly and stepped outside.
It was Qiao Ruii, the sa student who had visited last ti: “Ruii, hello there.”
Qiao Ruii looked at Luo Qiao and said, “Next Monday, the teacher wants you to co to school early. The middle school exams are on Wednesday.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “I know, thank you. Having you co all this way again in such hot weather, please wait a mont.”
She quickly picked a sweet lon and a cucumber from the backyard, washed them in the kitchen, and then ca out to hand them to Qiao Ruii: “It’s so hot, and you’ve co all this way again. Take these to quench your thirst on the road.”
Qiao Ruii felt sowhat embarrassed. Last ti they had given her dates, and now they were giving her lons. She wanted to say that it really wasn’t necessary, but the sweet lon looked truly delicious.
Without allowing for any argunt, Luo Qiao placed the items in her hands: “They’re all grown by ; they’re not worth much.”
Blushing, Qiao Ruii said, “Thank you.”
Luo Qiao said, “No need to thank —it’s who keeps bothering you.”
After seeing off Qiao Ruii, Luo Qiao noted that Lu Yichen hadn’t returned yet. She thought that if he didn’t co back soon, she would go to the clinic to bring food herself.
Just as she was about to fill the bamboo tube with porridge, she heard the front gate; soone had entered the courtyard.
Poking her head out, she saw Lu Yichen had returned, his lunchbox already washed, but Luo Qiao still scalded it with boiling water before she began to fill it with food.
After finishing the food, she set it aside, letting Lu Yichen eat first while she prepared to deliver the al shortly.
Lu Yichen ca carrying a bag of rice, intending to put it in the kitchen, but then he noticed the pile of items on the ground.
Pointing at the items on the ground, Lu Yichen asked, “Did you go to the commune this morning?”
“No,” Luo Qiao replied, “these were thank-you gifts from others.”
Luo Qiao intentionally hadn’t put away these items, thinking that in the future, if she needed to add so extra food to their storage, she would have a pretext.
She then briefly ntioned the events that had happened in town that day. Lu Yichen tapped Luo Qiao’s forehead, saying, “You’re getting bolder, but you did well.”
Luo Qiao covered the spot where he had tapped and said, “That hurt.”
Nonchalantly, Lu Yichen replied, “Without a little pain, you won’t rember.”
After eating, Lu Yichen left with Stone’s al, but it wasn’t long before he returned.
Upon hearing the noise and coming out, Luo Qiao was montarily stunned, “Why are you back again?”
Lu Yichen asked, “Can you ride a bicycle?”
Luo Qiao nodded, “I can. Why, sothing ca up and you can’t go?”
Lu Yichen made sure the bicycle was steady: “Go ahead and deliver Stone’s al for . I just went down there, and the Sun Family people were at the headquarters. It’s almost turned into a full-blown quarrel, I’m going in to see if we can sort out Stone’s issue quickly.”
