CHAPTER 933: CHAPTER 631: KNOWING WHEN TO ADAPT

The second watch is here.

---------

When Chuxia first came to this era, she found it hard to understand why people would turn their backs and lose their temper over a bit of food. But now, she completely understands.

People in later times, unless in particularly impoverished places, basically do not say they can’t get a meal. But in this era, only a very few can eat their fill and eat well.

Even doctors can’t live a life of eating white steamed buns, vegetables, and meat every day, so these large buns and dumplings that improve life are still very rare.

That’s why she immediately understood Dr. Luo’s attitude. Because Zhang Erniu’s parents had mentioned that when the Director of the Red Heart Commune came to deliver dumplings, they were intercepted by this chief physician.

Sometime this afternoon, everyone in this hospital room gathered together to eat buns, which surely reached the ears of this chief physician, who waited a long time for food that never arrived, fueling his anger?

No matter the era, there are good doctors and bad doctors, upright doctors, and doctors like Dr. Luo, full of twists and turns.

Zhang Erniu’s parents, of course, understood Dr. Luo’s intentions, but since they didn’t buy the buns, they didn’t dare use them as a favor. They were also worried that Dr. Luo wouldn’t be diligent in future treatments. The couple’s faces turned red with anxiety.

Luo Gangshun originally wanted to smooth things over, but after noticing the frowns on Zhou Mikang and Lin Wenbin’s faces, he swallowed his words.

He understood the background of these two young people and realized that it was best not to make decisions in their presence. Not because he was using them, but because he instinctively placed himself after them.

At this moment, Li Aiguo’s wife, Liu Guoling, arrived with several lunch boxes. Seeing the room filled with people, she immediately showed a surprised expression on her face.

After glancing at everyone’s attire, she guessed that these people might have something to do with the phone call from the county magistrate last night. Suppressing her excitement, she smiled at Zhang’s Wife, "Sis, I made pigeon soup for lunch, so I’m a bit late. Are these comrades your family?"

"Yes... yes." Li Xiangfen responded and nervously glanced at Luo Gangshun. She had never experienced such a scene and didn’t know how to handle it well.

Luo Gangshun then sought Zhou Mikang’s advice. Seeing him give an almost imperceptible nod, he smiled at Liu Guoling, "You must be the wife of Director Li Aiguo from Red Heart Commune?"

Liu Guoling nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I am Liu Guoling, just call me Little Liu."

The ignored Dr. Luo heavily coughed, his face sullen, and began to walk out. "Dr. Luo, I also brought you some food." Liu Guoling quickly said.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Dr. Luo disappeared from view.

Liu Guoling hurriedly placed the lunchboxes down, picked out two, and turned to Li Xiangfen, "Sis, you go ahead and eat. I’ll take these to Dr. Luo."

Li Xiangfen didn’t dare to speak and could only helplessly look at Luo Gangshun for help again.

However, Luo Gangshun did not dare to speak casually on this matter, so he pretended not to see and did not say anything.

Liu Guoling realized that these people had an unusual identity, but at this moment, her thoughts were simple. They might not want to expose their identity and have any connection with her, so she decided to do what she should do.

Since Dr. Luo cared so much about food, she delivered it to him. A doctor in a good mood would be more earnest in treating patients, and only when patients recovered well would they truly appreciate her gestures, allowing what they did to be recognized by the Zhang family.

Once the Zhang family recognized them, the person who made the call last night would naturally recognize them too. So, even though she didn’t get a response, she still picked up the lunch box and went to Dr. Luo’s office.

When she returned to Zhang Lizhu’s ward, it was empty except for Zhang Lizhu himself.

"Where are they?" Liu Guoling asked, puzzled.

"The ones who came are my future family. My family and my kids went to see them off; they’ll be back soon. Sister-in-law, it’s really been a bother for you and Director Li."

"It’s nothing, nothing. What does your future family do?" Liu Guoling asked, heart pounding with excitement at the thought.

"My future family is the Party Secretary of Dalin Village of Red Flag Commune. My future in-law is just an ordinary member, and my son-in-law is a soldier. My daughter also has a sister-in-law who is a soldier."

"The future family has a kind heart and left my daughter and son-in-law here to take care of me. They’ll be back soon. Sister-in-law, my daughter has food coupons, so please don’t bring us meals anymore."

"Even if you have food coupons, you should save them. Once you’re discharged, you still need to maintain yourself at home, right? Besides, my family is here, and it’s cheap to cook meals here.

"Since you call me sister-in-law, then you should follow my arrangements. During this time, I’ll take care of the meals for your family. Your daughter’s food coupons should be used sparingly. Of course, if her fiancé’s family doesn’t lack these things, just consider me being overly talkative."

Since she said that, if Zhang Lizhu still didn’t understand her intentions, he would be truly foolish. The problem was that he couldn’t figure out the real background of his future family, so he smiled awkwardly, "Then we’ll trouble you, sister-in-law. To be honest, we only found out today that my daughter got engaged, haha..."

Liu Guoling sincerely praised, "You have an excellent future family. The kids’ relationship isn’t fully settled yet, but they took the effort to come and see you. This shows that they value your daughter, and in the future, Erniu’s life won’t be hard. You and Xiangfen will enjoy the blessings."

Yao Lizhu nodded in agreement, "Yes, we really benefited from our daughter. It was Director Fang who helped my daughter join the army back then, and now you and Director Li treat us so well. Our family must have accumulated good deeds."

In her heart, Liu Guoling was actually anxious, but she knew that even if she chased out, she might not catch up with that group of people. Even if she did, they didn’t know her and wouldn’t bother talking to her.

It was better to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Lizhu so that through him, their actions could be relayed. She believed that the leader who was concerned about the Zhang family would surely appreciate their actions.

"Brother Zhang, you’re being too polite. Director Fang helped Erniu because she is a promising child. We are willing to help Erniu ease her worries because she is a promising child. Our Red Heart Commune is counting on Erniu to bring us honor."

"Sister-in-law, you’re praising Erniu too much. She’s not that capable." (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
