097 Wenjuan
We passed the elementary school, and there were no lights in the school at this time. There was a simple guard room at the door, and the light from the window was dim and warm. It seemed that there was a faint smoke inside, and the smell of food wafted out.
.
Li Hua said: "The teacher who lives there is a school teacher. The couple just got married and are less than thirty. They come from J City."
I said: "We are so close to City W, so aren't we from my hometown?"
He nodded. The couple were talented people. They graduated from a prestigious university and had a good life. They came here to teach together because the scenery was beautiful and the water was beautiful. They were in good spirits.
Such positive energy. I said, "Then can I also come and teach the children?"
Li Huate looked at me disdainfully and said, "You'd better forget it and just stay at home."
I think this statement has a special flavor of caring for a husband and raising his children. This is not how traditional life goes, with men earning money outside to support the family and women taking care of the house at home.
I felt very happy and leaned on Li Hua's shoulder.
Then after passing the infirmary, Li Hua seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, said nothing, and continued walking forward. I didn't pay much attention.
He took me to a small restaurant for dinner. The conditions were very simple. This restaurant was opened here mainly to serve people like them who work outside. The couple must be in their forties or fifty years old, and they are one of the few in the village.
Adults.
I also think that life here is probably very peaceful.
When I went back in the evening and went to bed, I found that the wound on Li Hua's shoulder had a small piece of blood scab. It probably happened when he helped me carry my luggage today and he didn't react and it broke.
He said: "It's okay, it's just a small injury."
In fact, Li Hua has also been unlucky since he met me. First his toe was crushed by his second uncle, and then my head was shot with a wine bottle. But in fact, when he was practicing dance in the past, he suffered many hardships and injuries.
I wonder if Li Hua can stretch out if he is asked to dance now.
Then I stripped off his clothes cleanly, checked for any wounds that I hadn't discovered, and then I safely hugged him and slept together.
In the morning, Li Hua got up and made breakfast himself. I hadn't gotten enough sleep, so he didn't wake me up to eat it. It happened that I didn't have to work at noon, so I just heated it up and ate it. Then he would try to come back as early as possible in the evening.
The place where they work is still some distance away from here, and it's not convenient to drive. I can't come back at noon. I don't blame him.
Today is Valentine's Day. I bought a large box of chocolates when I came here. This is the first Valentine's Day that Li Hua and I have spent together, and I still take it very seriously.
But he was too old to remember Valentine's Day. When he came back with food, I pouted and complained, "You can pick a few wild flowers for me."
Li Hua asked where to find wild flowers in the sky. I thought about it and said, "Anyway, we have such a big flower at home."
Li Hua came over and kissed me.
Another day passed and I began to feel bored. There was no TV, no Internet, and no one to talk to me. I tried to sleep as much as possible to pass the time, but the bed board was a bit hard and my whole body ached after sleeping too much.
After noon, when the sun was not bad, I felt that the quilt was too damp, so I took off the bedding and took it outside to dry in the sun.
In fact, it's just that much more drying. The air here is humid. As a person who grew up with the dry sea breeze, I can't get used to it. I always feel that the quilt covers the sheets, as if they were just taken out of the washing machine.
.
I didn't complain to Li Hua about these things. I think he must not have been used to it when he first came here. It will get better as time goes by.
I was the only person in the two-story building upstairs and downstairs, and everyone else had gone out to work. But Li Hua said that there was no need to worry about security issues. There were only old people and children here, and they couldn't beat me.
In the afternoon I came out to collect the quilts and saw a girl standing in the yard downstairs, holding something in her hand, as if she was waiting for someone.
I ignored her at first, but after collecting all the things, she was still standing there. Then I went downstairs to get water from the pressurized well. The girl looked a little surprised when she saw me, so I was very generous and asked politely.
He said, "Are you looking for someone?"
She said: "Well, look for Li Hua who lives above."
My heart skipped a beat. Then I took another look at the girl. She should be about the same age as Li Hua. She was dressed plainly, but had pretty features. She had a ponytail on her head, and almost every hair was tied up tightly.
No bangs.
In fact, I think she is a kind-faced girl.
I said, "He hasn't come back yet, what can I do for you?"
She hesitated slightly, probably wondering who I was, so I said it myself first, "I'm his girlfriend."
The girl's expression was startled for a moment, then she smiled at me, handed me what she was holding, and said: "He hasn't gone to the infirmary for dressing changes in the past two days, so I sent disinfectant cotton and white medicine over, um, and him
I said before that a worker had eczema, and the medicine was also in it."
The things were handed over to me and I took them. I thought I had to pay for the medicine, so I said, "Wait for me then. I'll go up and get the money."
She waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, just wait until the end of the month to settle it together. That's how it was calculated in the past. I have to go back, so I'll leave first."
The girl spoke Mandarin with local characteristics, turned around and walked quickly.
I took what she gave me and looked in the direction she left. Oh, it was the young doctor from the infirmary next to the school. He was so young...
To be honest, it wouldn't matter if this girl was ugly, but she was quite eye-catching. I couldn't help but start thinking wildly. Do you think Li Hua stayed in such a place all day long and saw a rare big girl?
Should you take a second look? What should you do if you notice the feeling?
That big girl also stays in such a place all day long. A beautiful young man like Li Hua has come to the village. Can you not take a second look and wonder what to do if he takes a look at her?
I felt a little panicked, but I was glad that someone was already here, otherwise I would have let Li Hua run away by being so indifferent.
But when he comes back, I have to pretend that nothing is wrong. My random thoughts are just nonsense and I can't let him see it.
I said: "The girl from the clinic is here today."
"Well, what's wrong?" Li Hua was busy with what he was doing and answered naturally. I observed his every move and found nothing unusual, so I felt relieved.
Then he handed the things given by the clinic girl to Li Hua, and Li Hua just accepted them without saying anything or asking questions. It seemed to be a very natural thing.
I said, "Is there only one small clinic here? Where do you see your patients?"
He said, "For the time being, workers rarely get sick. They just go and get medicine if they have a cold or fever."
In this way, the girl could be regarded as helping Li Hua. I said casually, "That girl is really young."
Li Hua said: "About my age."
I said, "It's a shame to stay here."
Li Hua smiled softly. I asked again: "Then does she have a partner? It's time to get married at this age."
Li Hua glanced at me and said, "You are minding other people's business."
Oops, aren't I bored? As a girl in her early twenties, I can fully understand how bored that girl is here. When I discovered this person, I started to think, if you catch someone of your own age, you will be bored in the future.
Just go and chat with her.
So of course we should pay more attention to her.
That night, I had diarrhea all night due to acclimatization, and was eventually sent to the infirmary.
I was almost exhausted. Li Hua guessed that the infirmary should be opened, so he carried me there early in the morning. The little doctor started working as soon as he got up. According to his experience, he directly prepared medicine to give me water.
She was the only one looking after the infirmary. The money paid by the villagers for medical treatment was enough to support herself. After Li Hua and the others came, the biggest convenience they brought to her was that she could take a ride to the town to get medicine and other things.
.
It seems to me that Li Hua is very familiar with the little doctor, which is understandable, because there are really few young people here, so everyone naturally feels a sense of intimacy when they meet.
Li Hua went out to buy breakfast, and I sat on the only hospital bed, exhausted, watching the little doctor busy himself and tidying up the infirmary in an orderly manner. There was a smell of disinfectant on the floor. After cleaning,
, and put on a white robe worn by a doctor, and arranged the medical supplies on the table.
This is a very serious girl, and I actually quite like her.
Li Hua bought breakfast for the three of us. The girl was not polite and sat eating quietly. Li Hua fed me spoonfuls of millet porridge.
I thought he was so kind to me, even though I couldn’t eat anymore, I ate as hard as I could.
After staying with me for a while, he had to go back to the construction site before the water on my side was finished. I didn't want him to delay anything because of me, so I persuaded him to leave.
Li Hua exchanged a few words with the little doctor, then took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and said, "My wife brought this."
The girl turned to look at me, smiled and said to me, "Thank you."
I forced a smile. Although I brought it, the person who gave it to her was Li Hua. She turned around and thanked me. It was really a very sensible move.
After I finished the water treatment, I just stayed here and didn't rush to leave. It would be boring to go back anyway, and I was so exhausted that I didn't want to go back and endure the loneliness alone.
The little doctor poured hot water for me, took my temperature, and told me to pay attention to my temperature. If I have a fever, don't delay and come see the doctor quickly. The climate here is very hot and humid.
At this time, an old lady came to take medicine for the child. She was an enthusiastic old lady. She casually asked a few questions about me from the little doctor, and then enthusiastically brought back a glass of water.
I saw something like loess at the bottom of the water, and the old lady asked me to drink it. She said to me in awkward Mandarin, "If you are not accustomed to the climate, just drink some of this water and it will be fine. The older generation is like this."
Even though I was so kind, I couldn't drink the water with loess added. I saw the caring expression of the old lady on my side. I held the cup and looked at the little doctor asking for help.
Chapter completed!
