Chapter 43: He Lian Meets Two Future Big Shots

Chen Mingchuan glanced at Mrs. Chen indifferently, saying nothing. He carried the bucket to Li Xinyue, “How do you want to eat it? Fried or steamed?”

Li Xinyue’s eyes lit up at the mention of food, “Are there shrimp?”

Chen Mingchuan nodded, “Yeah, quite a few.”

At this time, Chen Yiheng, who had been silent, proudly spoke up, “Mom, my brother, sister, and I found the shrimp, and Dad caught them.”

“I want to eat grilled shrimp, Mom used to grill them for me, they were so delicious.”

Delicious?

Just shrimp sprinkled with salt, how delicious could it be?

The Chen family never allowed this mother and son to taste any meat.

The two were really craving it, so the original owner would also go to the river to catch some fish and shrimp.

But she didn’t dare bring them home to cook, she only dared to steal some salt and grill them for her son outside.

The taste wasn’t really that good.

Holding her son’s hand, Li Xinyue looked at him with a heartbroken expression, “Today, we’ll eat something even better, mint-braised shrimp!”

“Okay, great!”

Mom’s duck soup was so delicious, then Mom’s mint-braised shrimp must be delicious too!

Chen Yiheng was so happy he almost jumped, “Brother Dongzi, Sister Yingzi, we’re having mint-braised shrimp tonight!”

The joy on his child’s face made Li Xinyue feel happy.

She took his hand, “Come on, let’s go pick some mint!”

“Tonight, we’ll go to our elder aunt’s house for dinner!”

“Okay, okay! Dad, let’s go!”

Chen Yiheng was originally a very lively child, but before, no one protected him, he lived like a stray dog.

Now that his dad was back and his mom had become powerful, his true nature returned.

Li Xinyue wanted to go out for a walk, so after Chen Mingchuan put the bucket in the house, she followed the three children out.

The double-harvesting season had just passed, and the late rice in the fields had just turned green.

There were small-leaf mints everywhere in the rural fields, but Li Xinyue preferred large-leaf mint.

“This isn’t fragrant enough, let’s go pick some large-leaf mint in the vegetable garden.”

Chen Mingchuan didn’t have much desire for food.

Since he was young, his biggest dream was to have enough to eat.

In the army, he had full meals every day, he felt so happy, so he fell in love with that place.

But Li Xinyue said large-leaf mint was good, then he would use large-leaf mint, he didn’t say anything as a big man.

Everyone was about to go back when suddenly a scream rang out, “Old Qiu, Old Qiu… wake up, wake up!”

“Something’s wrong!”

Li Xinyue ran towards the riverbank, seeing this, Chen Mingchuan immediately followed with the three children.

On the riverbank, a man in ragged clothes in his forties was squatting on the grass, another man who was a couple of years older was lying on the ground…

Li Xinyue recognized these two people.

These two were “black five categories”, the one lying on the ground was a professor from some university, and the one kneeling was supposedly the descendant of a capitalist.

“What happened to him?”

The middle-aged man turned around, his face full of anxiety, “He’s got heatstroke, he’s been running a high fever for the past few days, and he fainted just now.”

“Let me take a look.”

The middle-aged man immediately stepped aside, Li Xinyue reached out: so hot!

This person should immediately see a doctor!

But she knew that no doctor would dare to treat or prescribe medicine to these people who lived in cowsheds…

“What’s wrong?”

Chen Mingchuan also came down.

Li Xinyue turned back, “Heatstroke causing a high fever, it’s very serious!”

“Do as I say, first go home and get a little vegetable oil and a vegetable bowl.”

“Second, go to the health center and buy some fever-reducing and heat-clearing medicine, Doctor Lin should know what you need.”

Chen Mingchuan didn’t recognize these two: “Don’t take them to the hospital?”

“They live in the cowshed on Xiaogang.”

Now, Chen Mingchuan understood.

Logically, he didn’t need to take care of these people, but he was a soldier, and he couldn’t just stand by and watch them die.

Moreover, the country hadn’t said they wanted these people dead, they just hoped they would reform their thoughts and continue to serve the people.

“Okay, the kids are all here, you watch them.”

“No problem.”

The three children were very well-behaved, and the river wasn’t deep here, so it was safe for them to play here.

Chen Mingchuan quickly ran off, Li Xinyue asked the middle-aged man to carry the professor to the shade of a tree, and pressed his fingers on a few acupoints…

Soon, Chen Mingchuan came back with things.

There was a bowl, medicine, and oil.

“What’s wrong with your face?”

Li Xinyue didn’t expect him to notice her face first. When she pressed the acupoints, she had moved her mind.

However, it was probably because she was saving someone, the backlash this time was very, very small.

“It’s nothing, maybe I just sweated a lot. Give me the bowl and the oil first, I need to scrape the back, otherwise it will be fatal.”

She had opened up his blood vessels, but the fever hadn’t gone down, so she had to be careful of pneumonia.

“I’ll do it.”

Li Xinyue glanced at Chen Mingchuan: “You know how to do it?”

Chen Mingchuan nodded: “Of course I do, how many people in the village don’t know how to scrape the back?”

“When we were on missions in the tropical rainforest, we were most likely to get heatstroke.”

That’s right.

Scraping the back is a traditional rural method.

Li Xinyue directed the middle-aged man to hug the man on the ground from the front, then asked him to take off the patient’s shirt.

“Chen Mingchuan, you sit behind him, start scraping at the acupoints I point out.”

“Okay.”

Soon, everything was ready.

Under Li Xinyue’s instructions, Chen Mingchuan began scraping the back of Professor Qiu…

After ten minutes, the patient leaning in the middle-aged man’s arms let out a long sigh: he woke up.

“Old Qiu, Old Qiu! You’re finally awake, if it wasn’t for this young comrade, you’d be in big trouble!”

The middle-aged man was excited, but the man who had just woken up was confused: “What happened to me?”

“You fainted, you couldn’t be woken up no matter how much we called you!”

“Your temperature was very high just now, this young comrade massaged you, and this People’s Liberation Army comrade scraped your back for you.”

“Now, do you feel a lot better?”

Was it this woman and this soldier who saved him?

“You dare to save me?”

Chen Mingchuan’s expression was calm: “Although you are undergoing reform, it’s just that your thoughts are wrong.”

“The country never gives up on anyone who is seriously reforming.”

The man looked at Chen Mingchuan and Li Xinyue: “My name is Qiu Zhengshan, I will never forget the life-saving grace of the two of you.”

What’s his name?

Hearing this name, Li Xinyue’s heart skipped a beat: “Correct Zheng, Mountain of the Great Mountain?”

Qiu Zhengshan didn’t know why she asked that, but he nodded firmly: “Yes, those are the two characters.”

Oh my god!

Li Xinyue was dumbfounded!

This person… one of the future missile development experts in China, Qiu Zhengshan?

Professor of Physics at G University, doctoral supervisor?

“Then you are?”

Li Xinyue looked at the younger man with a pounding heart.

“My name is Lin Hanqing, Han of the Han people, Qing of youth, from G City.”

Lin Hanqing… Lin Hanqing… founder of China’s future largest financial company, one of the top 100 richest people in the world…

“How old are you?”

Lin Hanqing didn’t know why she asked that: “I’m thirty-eight, Old Qiu is forty-one.”
