After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 64 Standing Firm at the Last Post
What's wrong with Niannian?

Despite asking the question, Lu Xiao immediately walked up to her and placed himself within her reach.

"Look at your belly."

As Qiao Nian spoke, she reached her hand under his clothes and said, "I want to see where you've been hiding your food. Why isn't your stomach showing at all?"

This silly action was seen by Nian Yunci and the others, who thought their daughter was really too silly.

The same goes for sons-in-law.

How can he unconditionally cooperate with whatever Niannian does?

This will only spoil Nian Nian and make her more and more unruly.

However, the couple weren't much better; they also unconditionally spoiled their daughter.

Fortunately, their beloved daughter has never been spoiled or arrogant.

The family, along with Li Ruihua and his wife, chatted and laughed for quite a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Nian and the others should rest.

Although I'm leaving this place the day after tomorrow, I still have to go to work tomorrow.

We can't let our guard down before we leave.

We must stand firm at our posts until the very end.

Lu Xiao fetched water for Qiao Nian to soak her feet, but she was heavy and had a big belly, so she couldn't bend over to wash her feet.

The tall man squatted by the basin and slowly washed her feet.

His rough fingers gently pinched the back of her foot. "Does it hurt?"

"It's a little itchy."

Qiao Nian couldn't stand the tickling and pulled her feet back.

"Then I'll increase the force."

Lu Xiao didn't let go, but stubbornly held her soft, white soles, saying, "A massage will help you sleep better."

His hands, which were not white even when viewed alone, appeared even darker when compared to Qiao Nian's fair and delicate feet.

Black and white create a strong contrast.

Qiao Nian hummed and leaned lazily against the blanket, enjoying Lu Xiao's service.

Occasionally, when Lu Xiao pinched her foot and it hurt, she would sweetly ask him to be gentler.

"Be gentle, it hurts."

Lu Xiao stopped what he was doing, looked up and his gaze fell on her face.

Those burning gazes were somewhat frightening.

Qiao Nian's cheeks also flushed.

She pulled her feet back slightly. "I'm going to sleep if you don't massage me."

"Squeeze it again."

Lu Xiao looked away and stared intently at his wife's feet.

I silently reminded myself to be patient.

Hold on!
Six months, at most six months.

Six months later, he will be able to end this life of seeing meat every day but not being able to eat it...

The next morning, after Qiao Nian had breakfast at home, Lu Xiao took her to the brigade headquarters.

After making sure his wife was settled, he went to find Tian Shichang to complete the procedures for their departure.

After listening to Lu Xiao's purpose, Tian Shichang, though somewhat reluctant, had to admit that both Qiao Guowen and Li Ruihua could have better opportunities after leaving the village.

"it is good."

"I'll get it done for you right away. You can take it to the commune to get it stamped in a bit."

Tian Shichang spoke up.

We've been neighbors for five years, so we've developed some kind of bond.

Not to mention Li Ruihua and his comrades; if anyone in the brigade got sick, they could immediately ask him to see a doctor…

After Li Ruihua left, the people in their brigade had to go to the commune clinic to see a doctor!

"Captain, there are quite a few educated youth in the next brigade. Go and ask them another day if any of them graduated from nursing school or medical school."

Lu Xiao suggested to Tian Shichang, "If there are any, let them come over here and join the queue. They can take over Master and Niannian's work and help the villagers see a doctor."

That's a great idea.

Tian Shichang, who had been somewhat anxious, immediately nodded. "Yes, you're right."

“Those city kids may not be good at farming, but they still have their own skills.”

"I'll go look for it tomorrow."

Once we find suitable ones, we'll let them come over here and cut in line.

Just like Tiger's wife.

She was originally a primary school teacher in the next brigade, but after marrying Hu Zi, she became a primary school teacher in their brigade.

There is absolutely no problem with this.

Lu Xiao talked with Tian Shichang for a while, discussing everything from talent management to the development of the brigade and the various management of the militia.

Tian Shichang listened and nodded.

Although Lu Xiao is young, he is a graduate of a regular military academy and has been working in the army for many years.

His views on some things are very valuable.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xiao took the certificate issued by Tian Shichang, borrowed a bicycle from the brigade, and rode to the commune.

The brigade headquarters, the clinic on Qiao Nian's side.

There were a lot of people here today.

They probably all knew that Qiao Nian was about to leave, so they wanted to take advantage of her while she was still in the village to get medical treatment from her.

The influx of people made Qiao Nian's clinic crowded.

Not only was the room full of people, but there were also quite a few people standing outside.

Seeing this, Qiao Nian had no choice but to send some of her people next door to find her master.

"Girl, what are you saying? Dr. Li is a man, how can we possibly go to him?"

An older woman spoke up.

The other people shared the same thought as her.

I'm too embarrassed to go to Li Ruihua.

Seeing this, Qiao Nian smiled slightly and said, "Dear sisters-in-law, aunties, and grandmothers, in the eyes of us medical students, there are only patients, not genders."

"And the most important thing for us doctors is to keep our patients' secrets."

“If you all go to see my master, no matter what illness you have, my master will not publicize it or let a third person know.”

"Similarly, he won't laugh at you, so please don't worry."

Qiao Nian was aware of the villagers' concerns.

Qiao Nian neither despises them nor stands on a moral high ground to criticize them.

She explained to them in a gentle tone, assuring them that they could relax.

The people inside the room were still somewhat hesitant.

Qiao Nian smiled again and added, "My master's skill level is much higher than mine. You can see a much more skilled doctor for the same amount of money spent on medicine. You're actually making a profit!"

"Besides, if you don't go to my master and send some people to him, and you all stay here waiting, I won't be able to see everything even if I stay up until dark."

"If I make a mistake because I'm tired, diagnose the wrong patient, or prescribe the wrong medicine, it won't be good for anyone, will it?"

Under her persuasion, several older women were convinced.

"I'm fine, I'll just go and have Dr. Li take a look."

"I'll go as well."

"And I."

With someone taking the lead, the process of diverting patients becomes much simpler.

Apart from some older women who were going to the gynecologist, and the younger women who were too embarrassed to go to the clinic, the remaining women who were simply feeling unwell and wanted to get a check-up were all assigned to the next room.

There were fewer people in Qiao Nian's clinic.

The air in the consultation room began to circulate again.

Qiao Nian took a deep breath, gathered her thoughts, raised her head, and told everyone to line up and come one by one.

"Those who are sick are inside, the rest of you please wait outside and line up!"

Although we are all from the same village and are all women, many of us certainly don't want others to know about our problems.

Qiao Nian said this to keep the secret for the patients.

Whether they would inquire about each other after leaving the consultation room is their own business.
