Chapter 5

There were footsteps, rustling sounds on the wheat.

Zhao Nianhui opened her eyes.

I saw Qin Hongyuan standing not far away.

She picked up the now empty kettle and shook it.

“Sorry, I drank your water.”

It was this action that made Qin Hongyuan notice her injured hand.

His brows furrowed, his voice a little heavy, “If you don’t bandage it, it will get infected.”

Zhao Nianhui smiled faintly, of course she knew this.

If this had happened before, it would have had to be disinfected and bandaged.

But right now, the conditions are not that good.

“It’s okay. I saw it.”

Qin Hongyuan obviously didn’t like this statement.

But he did not stubbornly ask the reason.

He came over and picked up the packed lunch box.

The heavy weight made Qin Hongyuan’s eyes focus.

“Why don’t you eat it? It’s cold.”

Zhao Nianhui was a little stunned. “Is this for me?”

She pointed at herself in disbelief.

Qin Hongyuan nodded and handed the lunch box to her again.

“Eat it.”

He seemed to know that Zhao Nianhui still had concerns.

“I’ll just eat this.” He took out the cloth bag in his hand.

Inside was the big steamed bun that had been rejected before.

“How is this enough to eat?”

Looking at what he held in his hand, Zhao Nianhui felt a little uncomfortable.

A strong young man who had worked all morning.

I’m afraid that eating so little is not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.

“I ate a lot for breakfast and it hasn’t been digested yet.”

Staring at Zhao Nianhui with a suspicious look.

Qin Hongyuan’s expression was very calm, and it seemed that what he said was true.

But soon, the lie was exposed.

“Brother Qin, grandma asked me to bring some cakes. She said that you came to the field without having breakfast, and she was worried that you would not have enough to eat.”

A little boy came running over, skipping and jumping.

Because of the two people’s positions.

The tall Qin Hongyuan blocked Zhao Nianhui tightly.

It was not until they were very close that the boy realized there was another person.

Instantly he became restrained.

After stuffing the cornmeal pancake into Qin Hongyuan’s hand, he wanted to run away.

A large hand grasped his collar firmly.

“You forgot what I told you, didn’t you?”

Qin Hongyuan is very handsome, but his temperament is very intimidating.

He looks like the kind of person who is not easy to mess with.

The little boy obediently called Zhao Nianhui “sister”.

Look at how reluctant he is.

Zhao Nianhui almost laughed out loud and handed over the two eggs in her hand.

This was something Qin Hongyuan had forced upon her before.

“Here, little brother.”

The little boy looked up in shock.

He had seen this sister before. She was quiet and kept her head down all day.

Once I met someone and said hello, but he ignored me.

I didn’t expect that he would be given eggs to eat this time.

“Xiaohu, be polite to your sister.”

Qin Hongyuan touched the boy’s head lovingly.

The child called Xiaohu is a little shy.

But he still took the egg from Zhao Nianhui.

“Thank you, sister.”

After he finished speaking, he left like a flash.

Qin Hongyuan was left shaking his head helplessly.

“This child…”

There is not much description of Qin Hongyuan in the article.

It was only introduced that his family background was mysterious and that he had served in the army.

I don’t know why I chose to come to this small mountain village.

Currently, he is staying at the home of Xiaohu and his grandmother.

I remembered that Xiaohu’s brother was also a soldier.

This made Zhao Nianhui have a guess in her mind.

“Let’s eat together.”

“Um.”

Maybe it’s because the lie was exposed.

Qin Hongyuan did not refuse Zhao Nianhui’s invitation again.

But he was just nibbling on the tortilla in his hand.

Eaten with two bites of pickled vegetables in a red plastic bag.

His eyes never looked towards the lunch box.

Zhao Nianhui felt helpless. It seemed that this man had made up his mind to leave the meat for her.

She has always hated eating fatty meat, thinking it was greasy and tasteless.

Now I feel the braised pork in my mouth is very delicious.

Qin Hongyuan worked very efficiently. Before the sun set, he had harvested both plots of land.

The bundles of wheat were transported to the drying yard allocated by the commune and spread out.

It is easier to thresh the wheat after it has been dried in the sun, and then pull it to the winnowing ground to separate the grains.

In this weather, it will be almost dry after two or three days of sun exposure.

The donkey cart carrying wheat left, and Qin Hongyuan showed no sign of leaving.

“Let’s go to the health center.”

Zhao Nianhui couldn’t refuse and could only follow the man.

There is a clinic in the village.

She didn’t want to go for two reasons.

One is that there is not enough money.

When the original owner came to the countryside, he had dozens of dollars on him.

After all, I worked in a factory for a year, so of course I have some savings.

But Shen Meizhu borrowed a lot of it openly and secretly.

Until now, he has not asked for it back, and the original owner is too embarrassed to ask his friends for it.

The second reason is that it is unnecessary.

Zhao Nianhui had no one to rely on in her previous life. Her parents didn’t care about her and only wanted a son.

Unfortunately, they were never able to achieve their wish and they were displeased with their only daughter.

I would rather spend more time with my nephews and try to please them with gifts.

Because they are men and can carry on the family line, it doesn’t matter even if they are not biological children.

It’s a ridiculous and sad reason, but it’s the reality faced by many girls in the mountains.

Fortunately, she had a grandfather who loved her very much and taught Zhao Nianhui all the medical skills he had learned throughout his life.

This allowed Zhao Nianhui to learn a lot of good skills.

It’s quite easy to find some basic herbs to heal wounds.

But since I’m here now, I might as well take a look at the health center here.

If possible, she would like to find a job that can earn money.

If possible, she would like to find a job that can earn money.

The funds on hand are limited at the moment, and it’s true that a penny can make a hero fall.

By the time we arrived at the village clinic, the idea had failed.

Although I didn’t have much hope for the village clinic at the beginning.

It was still beyond her expectation to actually get here.

A civilian tile-roofed house was converted into a clinic.

There was a sign written in calligraphy at the door.

Some of the medicines on the cabinet were covered with a thick layer of dust.

When they arrived, the doctor had just finished treating a cow.

The reason was that the cow had not eaten for several days, and the owner was worried, so he brought it over to check on it.

“Don’t worry, it’s just food accumulation. Just take it back and feed it to the dog. Don’t feed it anything for three days.”

Zhao Nianhui glanced at the medicine in the man’s hand.

Several white pills wrapped in newspaper.

If I’m not mistaken, that was poured out of a vitamin bottle.

If the cow really has indigestion, it won’t matter even if it takes medicine.

You can recover just by starving yourself for a few days, right?

But she is not a nosy person.

“Hey, you two, what’s going on?”

The middle-aged man in his fifties adjusted his glasses.

He looked up and down at the two people in front of him.

Qin Hongyuan narrowed his eyes, “To disinfect, and to make the wound heal faster.”

The middle-aged man swallowed in fear.

The words that were about to come out of my mouth were stuck in my throat.

“Oh, sorry, we only have disinfectant in this small place.”

“Okay, I want it.”

When I came out of the clinic, it was almost dark.

Qin Hongyuan sent her to the vicinity of the educated youth site.

“Thank you for today.”

Zhao Nianhui lowered her head and clenched the potion in her hand.

It was dark, but she was not afraid.

The gaze disappeared only when we entered the yard.

As soon as I opened the gate, I saw clothes in a mess.

“Xiaohui, did you take Xiaoyue’s things?”
