His predecessor failed

Chapter 127 Meeting with Friends

After hanging up the phone, the captain thought about it for a long time but still felt worried, so he paced to the medicinal materials processing factory, found Peng Aiguo and asked when the county hospital would deliver the goods.

Peng Aiguo thought that the team leader came to check his work, so he immediately took out his delivery registration book for the team leader to review.

Unexpectedly, the captain waved his hand.

"I don't care about your case. You have someone to take care of it. I just want to ask when is the next time we go to the county hospital. If we have something to deal with, we can do it together."

"Last week's medicinal materials have already been delivered. This week's delivery will not be until the day after tomorrow. If it's urgent, you can ask the factory to get off work overtime and deliver it in advance."

"Well, is Zheng Qiwen in the factory? Call him."

"That'll have to wait a moment. Zheng Zhiqing has been called over by the hot sauce factory to help with the packaging change. I'll go and call him now."

As soon as he heard that the team leader was looking for him, Zheng Qiwen immediately followed Peng Aiguo back to the medicinal materials processing factory next door, asking as he walked,

"Brother Aiguo, did the captain say what it was?"

"No, he just asked me when I would go to the county hospital to deliver goods again. He didn't say anything else."

As they were talking, the two of them had already stepped into the gate of the medicinal materials processing factory.

The team leader talked to them and found out that it was Zhuzhu who had returned and was now in the county hospital. However, she was not sick, but was receiving treatment in the hospital and would not return to the team for the time being.

After thinking about it, the captain told them his concerns and asked them to bring Liu Yuanyuan with them when they delivered the medicinal materials the day after tomorrow, to visit Zhuzhu and find out whether her trip to the army went smoothly this time, and to make sure that she had not suffered any grievances.

After the captain said this, the two of them realized that this was right. Before Zhuzhu left, she said that she might be gone for three months and had arranged a lot of work in advance. It has only been such a short time and she has quietly returned to Qingfeng County alone. They have to go and ask her.

The matter of notifying Liu Yuanyuan was left to Zheng Qiwen. There was no need to advance the time, and the delivery would be made the day after tomorrow as originally planned.

Early the next morning, the three men went to the factory to load the truck, and then went all the way to the county hospital.

Liu Yuanyuan hadn't seen Su Zhuzhu for a while and missed her so much. Without Zhuzhu at home, she couldn't even enjoy her meals alone, mainly because her cooking skills were far inferior to Zhuzhu's.

When they arrived at the county hospital, Peng Aiguo went to the warehouse to deliver the goods, while Liu Yuanyuan and Zheng Qiwen asked the nurse about Su Zhuzhu, and then found their way to the dean's office.

"Zhuzhu, you're really back!"

Liu Yuanyuan immediately spotted Su Zhuzhu, who was sitting behind the desk writing materials. She was wearing a white coat, but she seemed a little thinner.

Su Zhuzhu was busy writing down some of her experiences for reference by Dr. Qiao and the others when she heard a familiar voice calling her. She looked up and saw that it was indeed Liu Yuanyuan. She immediately stood up, walked over and held Liu Yuanyuan's hand. She looked back and saw Zheng Qiwen. She was very surprised.

"Yuanyuan, why are you here? Did the captain tell you that I'm here?"

"Who else could it be? Only the captain knows that you are back. That's why he asked us to come and see you when we deliver the herbs to the hospital. Brother Aiguo is at the warehouse to unload the goods, so he won't be here soon."

Su Zhuzhu laughed happily. These were her friends who had come all the way from Suzhou. She was really happy to see them today.

"Hurry up and sit down. Don't think I don't know. You came to see me on the way. Brother Aiguo can deliver the goods. You are not responsible for the delivery. You must have come to see me specially."

Zheng Qiwen took the cup of water from Su Zhuzhu.

"We heard that you're back. We were all worried about you being alone in the county town. But since Aiguo is going to deliver goods today, the team leader approved our leave and asked us to come and see you. We also asked when you will be back so that we can pick you up then."

"Zhuzhu, why do I feel like you've lost weight? Your face has become pointed. Have you not been eating well recently?"

As soon as Liu Yuanyuan arrived, she looked Su Zhuzhu up and down and felt that her own cabbage was not so juicy.

After hearing what Liu Yuanyuan said, Zheng Qiwen, no matter how embarrassed he was, quickly looked at her. It was true. Her chin was pointed, her oval face was more obvious, and there was a faint blue color under her eyes. It was obvious that she didn't get enough rest. He couldn't help but look worried.

"It's okay. I haven't had enough rest recently. I performed two surgeries right after I came back, and I have to lead everyone in practice at night. I'm a bit pressed for time, so I can't help it. I'll have a good rest after I get back, and I'll be able to recover."

Su Zhuzhu said so, but Liu Yuanyuan and Zheng Qiwen were still worried. They looked at each other and decided not to ask for the time being. At least it didn't seem like there was any big problem at the moment.

So the two of them tacitly did not mention Su Zhuzhu's involvement in He Qiaojin's army. Instead, Su Zhuzhu did not mention it at all. This made Liu Yuanyuan and Zheng Qiwen feel that something must have happened. Liu Yuanyuan planned to ask Su Zhuzhu privately. After all, Zheng Qiwen was a gay, and some things were difficult to say in front of a gay man.

Su Zhuzhu was very happy to see her friends today. They hadn't seen each other for a while, so there were so many topics to talk about. Su Zhuzhu was mainly asking about everything in the team. She was concerned about everything. Before going to the army, even Ping An's studies were entrusted to the educated youth point. She must pay attention to how Ping An is doing recently, especially his studies, which must not be fallen behind.

Liu Yuanyuan laughed at Su Zhuzhu for being a housekeeper who worried so much!

"We came from Suzhou to the countryside and settled down directly in the Red Star Brigade. The brigade leader and the team members were very good to us educated youth. We have been together for so long that we have developed feelings for each other. This is our second hometown. I like it very much. Even if I leave here in the future, I will find a chance to come back and visit."

Su Zhuzhu's words were unanimously recognized by Liu Yuanyuan and Zheng Qiwen.

When I was in Suzhou, the story of going to the countryside to work was so magical that everyone felt insecure. Families who loved their children tried every means to prevent them from going to the countryside, and those who had no choice sent their children away in tears.

It is not ruled out that the atmosphere in some places is indeed bad, and there are indeed news reports of educated youth who went to the countryside being persecuted, but they were lucky and were assigned to the Red Star Brigade.

Not to mention that the educated youth would be ostracized and persecuted by the villagers, Su Zhuzhu and her friends never even encountered discrimination. Even when they didn't know anything at the beginning when they went to the fields, the team members taught them carefully step by step and did not despise them for being slow and holding them back.

From the team leader to the team members, the ideological awareness of the Red Star Brigade was very high. There was no unhealthy tendencies. Moreover, there were no educated youth like Su Zhuzhu who were cunning and dishonest. Everyone worked hard and naturally won everyone's respect.

What's more, up to now, Su Zhuzhu has led the educated youth to set up a medicinal material processing factory and a hot sauce factory in the brigade. Wow, the Red Star Brigade has suddenly entered a well-off life.

Although the words are a bit exaggerated, the changes are real, and the life there is so good that the surrounding brigades are jealous. It is not just one or two levels lower. Moreover, the Red Star Brigade is willing to spend money on its team members. Most of the income of the brigade is used to improve the lives of the villagers. In addition, the educated youth hold classes every day to improve the knowledge level of the team members. Now when people from the Red Star Brigade go out, everyone gives them a thumbs up. I am embarrassed to say that the team leader looks ten years younger.

Therefore, the educated youth of the Red Star Brigade truly responded to the call of the country and used what they had learned to build a new countryside.

The current Red Star Brigade has been nominated as a model not only in Qingfeng County, but also in the city. According to the estimation of the brigade leader, once all the houses in the brigade are built, it will be the signature of Qingfeng County, and there will not be many of them in the province. At that time, it will have a chance to become a model in the province.

After listening to this, Dean Chen went back to do his own thing for a while. Su Zhuzhu had more time, so the three of them became more and more excited as they talked, and in the blink of an eye it was already eleven o'clock.

"Let's go find Brother Aiguo. It's been a while since we last met, so we don't have to worry about him coming to look for us again. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for lunch. We haven't seen each other for so long, I'll treat you."

Liu Yuanyuan and Zheng Qiwen both agreed, so Su Zhuzhu quickly packed up her things, locked the door, and the three of them walked out together.

Liu Yuanyuan spoke cutely. She hadn't seen Su Zhuzhu for a long time, so she chatted a lot. Zheng Qiwen just followed the two female comrades quietly. This combination was quite eye-catching.

This caught the eye of a man upstairs.

Zhu Ye stood upstairs, squinting his eyes from a distance at the man who had been following Su Zhuzhu. He was polite and kept smiling but didn't speak. It was obvious that he was well-educated. The two girls who were talking in front turned back from time to time to say something to him, but he couldn't hear them because they were too far away, but it was obvious that they had a good relationship.

He gritted his teeth. He hadn't figured out how to act yet. How come such a gentle and polite man appeared next to Dr. Su? If he really had feelings for Dr. Su, then he would have a strong rival.

Zhu Ye felt that he could not endure it any longer, so he told Jiang Jun not to wait for him for lunch, and walked quickly downstairs. According to his pace, Dr. Su would pass by here soon, and they would meet by chance.

Just as I stepped down the last step, I saw Su Zhuzhu and her three companions walking up to me. I have to say that the judgment of those who come out of the army is extraordinary.

"Doctor Su, what a coincidence, are you getting ready to go out?"

Su Zhuzhu turned around and saw that it was Zhu Lao's grandson, Captain Zhu. She had seen him quite a lot in the past few days, so he was considered an acquaintance.

"Captain Zhu, I'm here to accompany the old man. How is Mr. Zhu today?"

"The old man has recovered well. Thanks to Dr. Su, he recovered so quickly. Now he no longer has chest pains.

Su Zhuzhu smiled politely, "That's because the old man is in good health, so he can recover quickly. I will come to check on him again tomorrow. He should be able to be discharged from the hospital after a few days of rest."

"Doctor Su, who are these two?"

Su Zhuzhu then remembered that she hadn't introduced everyone to each other yet.

"These two are the educated youth who went to the countryside with me. The female comrade is Liu Yuanyuan and the male comrade is Zheng Qiwen. We are both in the Red Star Brigade now. They came to see me today."

After introducing his friends, he started to introduce Captain Zhu.

"I am performing surgery on a retired comrade in the hospital this time. This is the grandson of the retired comrade, named Zhu Ye, the commander. Coincidentally, Zhu Ye is also in the 624th Army, which is the military region behind our back mountain, and he is also Lin Wu's leader.

After hearing Su Zhuzhu's introduction, Zheng Qiwen and Liu Yuanyuan immediately greeted Zhu Ye. There was nothing they could do about it. They had been trained by Su Zhuzhu during this period of time. Whenever their parents who provided them with food and clothing were in front of them, they had to be extremely enthusiastic. Su Zhuzhu called this the spirit of service.

So now, when they heard that the extremely aggressive man with a strong presence in front of them was an officer of the 624th Unit, the two of them instantly adopted the attitude that should be shown to God.

Zhu Ye also greeted Su Zhuzhu's friends politely. It was obvious that Dr. Su cared about these two people very much and their friendship was very deep. Zheng Qiwen looked at Su Zhuzhu with eyes full of doting. Sure enough, he guessed it right.

"Doctor Su, are you guys going out to eat?"

"Well, it's a rare occasion for them to come and see me, so let's go to the state-owned restaurant to have lunch together. Is Captain Zhu going out too?"

Zhu Ye was waiting for this sentence, and he made up an excuse.

"I'm going out to eat too, but it's hard to order food by myself. Would you mind taking me along?"

Su Zhuzhu originally planned to refuse. They were old friends, so why would she bring Captain Zhu along? Besides, would Captain Zhu let him go without a meal?

As a result, before Su Zhuzhu could speak, Liu Yuanyuan enthusiastically invited Zhu Ye to have lunch together. In Su Zhuzhu's words, such a handsome guy could make you eat two bowls of rice just by looking at him. Moreover, he was an acquaintance and the leader of a major customer of their brigade's hot sauce factory. Having a meal together was no small matter.

Su Zhuzhu didn't know what to say when she saw that Liu Yuanyuan agreed so quickly. Without waiting for her to say anything, Zhu Ye readily said that he would treat everyone to dinner.

After several rounds of pushing and pulling, Zhu Ye finally won and won the right to treat everyone. Su Zhuzhu was really troubled by these three people. Is it necessary to treat a meal like this? They almost took out the money first.

Fortunately, the four of them set off together quickly, went to find Peng Aiguo first, parked the car at the hospital, and came back after dinner.

Zhu Ye's plan was to find out Zheng Qiwen's situation first, so now he, Zheng Qiwen, Peng Aiguo and the three grown men were sitting together chatting and smoking. Zheng Qiwen didn't smoke, but he couldn't stand the other two being too enthusiastic, and it was not good to ignore them, so he squeezed over to Su Zhuzhu and Liu Yuanyuan.

Besides, there was no way to squeeze in there with the two girls, they were chatting animatedly.

Zhu Ye had been from a well-off family since he was young, and he was also born in a wealthy family. Since he said he would treat everyone, he was very clear about it. He ordered several main dishes, soup and cold dishes, and most of the dishes were based on Su Zhuzhu's taste. He had carefully observed Zhu's meal on the day of his surgery, and he even thoughtfully ordered soda for the female comrade.

Su Zhuzhu was actually a little worried. If she didn't react at first, then Zhu Ye's various behaviors in the past two days were obviously aimed at her.
