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

Chapter 69 She also felt sorry for him.

Let me introduce it.

Lu Xiao introduced Li Ruihua and his wife, and then introduced Qiao Guowen.

Luo Shengqiang greeted her with a smile and told Li Ruihua that if she needed anything, she could go to the neighboring courtyard to find him.

Not long after he left, Luo Shengqiang's wife came over again. She brought Wang Xueqin some cabbages that had been stored away during the winter, as well as some potatoes.

Wang Xueqin was flattered and overwhelmed.

"This...this...how can I accept this?"

"Hey, it's just some homegrown vegetables, not worth much money."

He Yufeng laughed heartily!

He seems like an easy person to get along with.

Li Ruihua and Wang Xueqin also knew that Lu Xiao had specially chosen the house for them, so the neighbors would definitely be easy to get along with.

At least there won't be any people with ulterior motives.

After getting familiar with their accommodations, Wang Xueqin packed her luggage, while Li Ruihua followed Lu Xiao out for a walk to see the hospital's family compound.

The local hospital is not far away.

They walked from here and arrived at the hospital in about ten minutes.

Director Zhang, who happened to be coming out of the hospital, saw Lu Xiao bringing Li Ruihua over and knew that this person was the medical expert they had been waiting for, Li Ruihua.

"This must be Professor Li."

Director Zhang strode forward.

Lu Xiao continued to introduce Li Ruihua, "This is Director Zhang."

"Hello, director."

Li Ruihua greeted him.

She was also a little shy.

They are worried about these Western doctors and are not very accepting of him, an old Chinese medicine doctor.

Director Zhang smiled and told him not to be so polite, "Is everything settled in? The hospital has been looking forward to your return to work!"

"I can come to work this afternoon."

Li Ruihua answered.

Director Zhang quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need. You just arrived today, right? Settle down at home first, and then come to the hospital to work tomorrow morning."

Li Ruihua doesn't actually need to rest; in fact, if he keeps resting, he'll feel uneasy.

But judging from Lu Xiao's expression, it seemed that it wouldn't matter if he came back tomorrow, so he agreed.

"it is good."

"I will come to report to the director on time tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I happen to be free right now, so I'll take you to the hospital to get familiar with the work environment you'll be working in."

Director Zhang cherishes talent, and Li Ruihua was a talent strongly recommended by Lu Xiao, so he naturally treated Li Ruihua with extra care.

Li Ruihua agreed.

He turned to look at Lu Xiao and Qiao Guowen, "Brother Qiao, Xiao Lu, you two go to the junior high school first. Director Zhang and I will go to the hospital to take a look."

"it is good."

Lu Xiao took Qiao Guowen away and headed towards the local junior high school.

The local hospital wasn't too far from the junior high school; it was about a five-minute walk from there.

The public places in this area, such as schools, hospitals, supply and marketing cooperatives, post offices, and canteens, are all in one area.

It is separated from the residential area by a street and is very neatly constructed.

These houses were all built according to a pre-planned plan, so whether it's public spaces or residential areas, everything is well-organized and square.

The junior high school and the elementary school are separated by a wall; on one side of the wall is the junior high school section, and on the other side is the elementary school section.

Lu Xiao brought Qiao Guowen to the junior high school.

The junior high school principal, surnamed Zuo, saw Lu Xiao approaching and his gaze fell on the person behind Qiao Guowen. "Is this the chemistry professor that Deputy Regiment Commander Lu mentioned?"

Although Qiao Guowen had worked in agriculture for five years, he still retained the air of a cultured person. One glance at him was enough to tell that he was a refined and cultured individual.

Students can be taught by someone like this.

Principal Zuo nodded and reached out to shake Qiao Guowen's hand. "Hello, I am the principal of this school. My surname is Zuo."

"Hello, Principal. My name is Qiao Guowen."

"Hello, Teacher Qiao."

Although Zuo Wenli was the principal, he was a retired soldier and had none of the bad habits of outsiders. He showed no contempt for Qiao Guowen, who was dressed in rags and looked at people from the village.

Zuo Wenli led Qiao Guowen and the others on a tour of the school, and told Qiao Guowen about the current situation of the school.

The main difficulties encountered are in teaching.

"Because it's too harsh here, there are very few truly talented people."

Although there were educated youth sent to the countryside, most of those sent to the countryside now only have a junior high or high school education.

They might be able to teach other subjects, but Zuo Wenli didn't dare to entrust them with teaching subjects like chemistry.

Now that a proper university chemistry professor has arrived, his worries have been put to rest.

.........

Qiao Nian slept until she naturally woke up, then slowly opened her eyes and sat up from the unfamiliar kang (heated brick bed).

Lu Xiao had no idea when she got up; she was completely unaware.

I drew back the curtains of the window facing the backyard and saw the backyard filled with sunlight.

Mom was turning over the soil behind them.

Qiao Nian stretched, rubbed her back, and opened the window a little. "Mom."

Nian Yunci raised her head, a smile on her face.

"Niannian, are you hungry? I'll come back and heat up some food for you after I've finished turning over the soil here."

"Mom, don't rush, I'm not hungry yet."

Qiao Nian closed the window, slowly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), washed up, and then left the room.

As soon as she went out, she ran into Lu Xiao, who was returning from outside.

"Oh, you came back alone? Where's Dad?"

Knowing Lu Xiao's work schedule for the morning, and knowing that her master and master's wife had gone to the hospital's family compound, she didn't ask any further questions.

She's now wondering why her father didn't come back with Lu Xiao.
"Dad is studying at school, saying he's preparing lesson plans and observing how other teachers conduct classes. He'll come back in the afternoon."

Lu Xiao stepped forward, helped his wife up, and told her to watch her step.

"Has Niannian eaten?"

"No, I just woke up!"

"I'll go heat up the food for Niannian."

Lu Xiao helped his wife sit down on the bench in the corridor before turning around to go to the kitchen to work.

When Nian Yunci came out of the backyard and saw that her son-in-law was at home, she no longer needed to worry about her daughter's safety.

He smiled and turned to go back to the backyard to till the soil.

"Mom, I'll go and look for it in a bit."

Lu Xiao was in the kitchen when he saw his mother-in-law busy at work, so he quickly spoke up.

Nian Yunci told him not to worry.

"I'll flip through it slowly, it's not tiring."

In the past, they worked every day in the village, but they didn't have land and all the crops were collectively owned.

Unlike now, they don't have such a large backyard.

It can grow many kinds of fruits and vegetables.

In the distance, there are fields belonging to them where they can grow wheat and sorghum. Once the grains are planted, they will be theirs when harvest time comes.

The thought of plenty of food filled Nian Yunci with energy.

She turned around and went back to her work.

Neither the daughter nor the son-in-law could be kept.

Lu Xiao brought the heated food out of the kitchen and placed it on the small table next to Qiao Nian.

"I'll go help Mom turn the soil."

"You should take a rest."

Qiao Nian grabbed Lu Xiao's arm, and the man who was about to leave immediately stopped in his tracks, not daring to wander off.

I'm afraid of hurting my wife and causing her to fall.

"Mom is almost done with the translation. You can't keep taking advantage of your youth and good health and keep running around without resting."

Although she often acts coquettishly towards Lu Xiao, she also feels sorry for him.

Her man is a man, not a machine. Even if he doesn't complain about being tired, it doesn't mean he won't get tired.

"Sit down and take a good rest."
