Chapter 72

It took a long time before Gou Wa fell asleep. Shen Qingli gently pulled out her hand, wiped Gou Wa’s face with a wet towel, then got up and walked out.

She had just gone out when Gu Qichuan came back.

Seeing that Shen Qingli had obviously been crying, he hurriedly asked, “What happened?”

“It’s okay. Li Yaozu came to deliver food just now and Ruirui was sad.” Shen Qingli said in a low voice.

Gu Qichuan felt a little guilty. He should have come back with Zhou Yubai at that time, so that he could have stopped that Li Yaozu from outside. Humph, a Li Yaozu actually dared to make their Ruirui sad.

I will find an opportunity to beat him up twice, no, three times in the next two days.

Li Yaozu sneezed several times in succession.

Unlucky child: Is someone scolding me?

“You should go to bed early too. You still have to tidy up the yard tomorrow.” Shen Qingli said gently.

“Yeah.” Gu Qichuan responded, looking up and meeting Zhou Yubai’s eyes. Neither of them spoke, nor did they plan to tell Shen Qingli what happened tonight.

They passed each other and went back to their rooms.

“By the way, I just remembered that Ruirui has to go to school for an exam tomorrow.” Shen Qingli pulled Zhou Yubai’s arm.

“Do you want to go tomorrow or in two days?” Zhou Yubai asked.

“Ruirui is still a child and can’t help much at home. Let’s go tomorrow. I’ll go with him. While he takes the exam, I’ll go shopping and look for Cui Jingqing by the way.” Shen Qingli said.

“That’s fine. Cui Jingqing and Cui Jingming are nice people. You can ask them to help you deliver the things.” Zhou Yubai said. In fact, he didn’t want Shen Qingli to go alone.

But his reason told him that he could trust Shen Qingli.

Most importantly, Shen Qingli needs his trust.

“Well, I’ll take care of it, don’t worry.” Shen Qingli smiled.

The two of them had discussed it, and Shen Qingli wanted to continue drawing the blueprint, but Zhou Yubai snatched the pen from her hand.

“Don’t draw anymore. Do it tomorrow during the day. The light is not good at night. Be careful not to hurt your eyes.” Zhou Yubai said in a gentle voice.

Shen Qingli nodded obediently and went to sleep with Zhou Yubai.

The next morning, after breakfast.

The five men split into two groups.

Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan took Niu Niu to clean up the yard, and Xiao Hei and Da Huang were mainly responsible for playing with Niu Niu.

Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan work together.

Shen Qingli took Gou Wa to school for an exam and did some shopping along the way.

After the tasks are assigned, everyone takes action.

Shen Qingli rode her bicycle and took Gou Wa all the way to the village primary school. There was only one village primary school among the nearby villages, not far from the town.

Shen Qingli took Gou Wa to find the teacher in charge, explained the situation to her, and showed her the letter of introduction.

The teacher in charge immediately gave Gou Wa the test paper and started the test in the office.

Shen Qingli asked the teacher to help look after Gou Wa, and if she came back late, let the child wait for her at school.

Teachers of this era are all very honest and responsible, so let Shen Qingli do the work.

Shen Qingli thanked him and left.

She first rode her bicycle to the health center.

Cui Jingqing was on the night shift last night and was getting ready to get off work when he saw Shen Qingli’s eyes lit up.

“Kiyori!”

“Qingqing.”

After the two greeted each other, Cui Jingqing took Shen Qingli to his dormitory and made her a bowl of sugar water.

“Drink some water and rest for a while.”

The time they agreed to deliver the medicine had not yet arrived, so Cui Jingqing thought that Shen Qingli just came to the town to do some business and came to see her on the way.

Shen Qingli took a sip of water and took out two paper bags from her bag.

There was no other way. In this day and age, using porcelain bottles to package things was too suspicious, so she had to wrap it in paper.

“This is called a heart-saving pill. Carry it with you. If you are in danger and feel unwell, take two pills and you will feel better. Then you can go to the hospital for emergency treatment and save your life.”

“The Jiuxin Pills can be packed in a small porcelain bottle, which can preserve the efficacy better.”

The Cui family is rich, so preparing porcelain vases is not a problem.

“This is what I usually take. It’s a health pill. It’s useful for repairing heart function. The heart is mainly taken care of. It’s very important to be in a good mood and eat a light diet.”

Shen Qingli introduced them one by one.

“Qingli, you are amazing!” Cui Jingqing was full of surprise, “I thought it would take another half a month.”

“I just happened to be in town on some business so I brought it to you. Let your aunt take it for a while and see the effects. Then adjust it.” Shen Qingli said.

“Okay.” Cui Jingqing naturally agreed. She carefully put the medicine into her bag and immediately paid the balance to Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli didn’t hesitate and accepted it directly.

“Do you have anything to do today?” Shen Qingli asked.

“It’s okay, I just got off the night shift, nothing happened. There were no patients last night, and I slept for most of the night, so I’m not sleepy. Just tell me if you have anything to say!” Cui Jingqing said hurriedly.

She was afraid that Shen Qingli would feel embarrassed to trouble her, so she hurriedly emphasized that she was fine and not sleepy.

The corners of Shen Qingli’s lips curled up. She kind of liked Cui Jingqing’s personality.

“Something happened at home, and I need to buy a lot of things. There are too many things to carry back on one bicycle, so I would like to ask you for help.”

“It’s no big deal. I’ll call my brother right now. He has a car and will drive it directly to you.” Cui Jingqing said as he ran out to make a phone call.

Shen Qingli didn’t have time to stop it.

This girl is very impetuous.

Fifteen minutes later, Cui Jingming appeared in front of the hospital driving a car.

“Hello Qingli, I’m free today. If you need anything, I’ll buy it for you.”

“Thank you, Comrade Cui.” Shen Qingli thanked him with a smile, generously. Since she had offered to help and the other party had given help, she should thank him generously and accept it.

Shen Qingli’s frankness made Cui Jingming and his sister feel very comfortable.

“Qingqing and I can go shopping.” Shen Qingli said with a smile.

Cui Jingming knew that he was a man and it would not be good for him to go back and forth with female comrades to buy things, so he nodded in agreement. He would wait near the supply and marketing cooperative first, and then wait near the black market.

After buying things, they can just put them in the car to avoid the trouble of carrying them.

After everything was discussed, Shen Qingli took Cui Jingqing to the supply and marketing cooperative on her bike.

Shen Qingli took out all her tickets.

She needed to buy cloth, a thermos, shoes, and a set of ready-made clothes for each person as a temporary replacement.

She also needed daily necessities such as washbasins and towels, as well as cotton, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Although she had these in the cellar, it would be better to buy some to get by.

Shen Qingli always prepared enough food for five people, but in just ten minutes, she spent a hundred yuan generously.

One hundred dollars is definitely a huge sum of money in this era.

Cui Jingqing was stunned. She had always thought that she spent money lavishly, but after this look, she felt like a small fry.

After Shen Qingli finished shopping, she and Cui Jingqing went to Cui Jingming’s car.

“Is that enough? Do we still need to go to the black market?” Cui Jingqing asked. She felt that the things she bought were enough to fill a new home, but Shen Qingli smiled.

“Not enough, go.”

Cui Jingqing: Qingli’s fighting ability is really strong.

Cui Jingming: She is indeed a powerful woman…

Shen Qingli: Don’t worry, I will show you super purchasing later.
