Rebirth in 1972: Redemption in Changbai Mountain

Zhao Youzhi came to Zhou Rui's house from the clinic. Before he even entered, he could hear a lot of chatter inside, so it seemed like there were quite a few people there.

Zhao Youzhi pushed open the door to the inner room and saw Wang Xinghua handing a bowl to Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), and An'an behind him blew on the bowl a few times before Zhou Rui gulped it down.

Besides Wang Xinghua, several other female educated youths from next door were also here, a whole group of them. It seemed they all had a good relationship with Zhou Rui. I just wonder if any of them had a crush on him?

Wang Xinghua took the empty bowl back, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Zhao Youzhi.

"Grandpa, you've arrived."

Zhao Youzhi nodded to Xinghua: "How's Ruiwa? Is he alright?"

"It's nothing serious. I just had a bowl of ginger soup. Pingwa will boil some water soon, and I can take a hot bath and I'll be fine."

Zhou Rui seemed to be in good condition, not much different from usual. After all, a modified body is quite different.

"Sister-in-law Xinghua, pour Grandpa Zhao a bowl of ginger soup too. He's been worrying in the cold wind all day, don't let him collapse from exhaustion."

Looking at Zhao Youzhi's somewhat pale face, Wang Xinghua nodded and said, "Grandpa, please sit down for a while. I'll go get you some ginger soup right away."

The two then talked about Chen Huaishu's situation and learned that he might have to face another death that night, which made them feel a little sad.

Zhou Rui had no choice, after all, he wasn't a doctor, and the medical methods of this era were too backward, many medicines were scarce, and even fewer were allocated to this poor and remote area.

Giving the little locust tree an antibiotic injection and some antipyretics was the best Zhao Changhai could do; everything else was up to fate.

Zhao Youzhi didn't stay long; he still had a lot to do. This included sorting, weighing, and storing the fish, as well as deciding how to transport the catch to the supply and marketing cooperative the following morning.

This is a major event for Jiaolongxia Village, as it concerns the annual income of hundreds of villagers, and cannot be taken lightly.

After Zhao Youzhi left, Zhou Ping had prepared hot water, and Zhou Rui went to Zhou Ping's room to take a shower.

After Zhou Rui left, Yang Ping and the others took the opportunity to chat about today's winter fishing, the accident, and Zhou Rui's final dive to save people.

Because of her godparent relationship with Xiao Niangao, Wang Xinghua often visited Zhou Rui's house and had met these educated youths several times. She was particularly familiar with Yang Ping and Lin Qiuyue, who visited more frequently.

The four of them chatted enthusiastically, especially Lin Qiuyue and Yu Sitian from the south, who were beaming with excitement.

What the three educated youths didn't know was that, apart from occasionally interjecting, Wang Xinghua mostly observed their figures and postures to understand their attitudes toward Zhou Rui.

Ever since Wang Xinghua jokingly mentioned at a dinner party a few months ago that she would introduce Zhou Rui to someone, she had been thinking about it. Now that she saw these girls frequently hanging out with Zhou Rui, she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to investigate.

"Fishing in winter is fun, but I never imagined it would be so dangerous. Once someone falls into an ice hole, they're nowhere to be found," Yu Sitian said, still feeling a lingering fear.

"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen someone fall in. I've never seen it before." Yang Ping is originally from Heilongjiang Province and has seen winter fishing before, but she has never seen an accident.

Lin Qiuyue patted her chest: "That Chen Huaishu is so young, and he and his sister depend on each other for survival. What would happen if he were gone? Fortunately, Zhou Rui is really brave. He jumped in without hesitation and even rescued him."

Seeing that the two southern girls were melancholy and somewhat downcast, Wang Xinghua wanted to change the subject. However, her eyes lit up and she had a new idea.

"Hey, did you guys see Ruiwa when she came ashore? She was in such great shape. Her arms were thick, her back was all muscle, and her waist was a typical V-shaped waist, she looked strong. It's just that Ruiwa is still young. If she grows up in a couple more years, with those long legs, she'll be amazing."

As Wang Xinghua spoke, her eyes kept darting between the three educated youths, trying to discern something from their faces.

No wonder people say that married women in the countryside gossip without any restraint. Wang Xinghua has only been married for a little over a year, but she is already incredibly bold, making several young women blush with embarrassment.

Yu Sitian was very shy: "Oh dear, sister-in-law, what are you saying? I didn't see anything, I don't know what you're talking about."

"You still say you didn't see anything? I saw it very clearly from the side. Although you tried to cover yourself with your hand, your fingers were spread wide apart and your eyes were wide open."

Although Yang Ping was also a little shy, she was outgoing and not as timid as Yu Sitian. She also knew how to use words to divert attention.

Lin Qiuyue remained silent, burying her head in the valley, much like an ostrich fleeing danger.

"Sister-in-law Xinghua, what is a male dog waist?" Unexpectedly, Yang Ping was only shy for a moment before asking the question directly, just like a student who didn't understand the question in school, full of curiosity.

"Let me tell you something..." Wang Xinghua perked up immediately when Yang Ping asked her a question. Usually, it was the older women who taught her that taught her things; this was her first time being a teacher, and to three educated young people at that.

"Have you ever seen a dog in heat in the spring? To have puppies, it's always wanting them. Strong, grown men are just like male dogs; once they start, they never stop."

The women in the village all say that the better the men in the family are, the more comfortable they feel, just like male dogs. I think Ruiwa has that potential.

"Oh my god, sister-in-law, please stop talking. We can't listen to your marital affairs."

"What's there to be upset about? You're not much younger than me, and you're also at the age to get married. You'll have to go through this sooner or later, so it won't hurt to know in advance."

"Sister-in-law, please stop talking." Yu Sitian got up and tried to cover Wang Xinghua's mouth. If she let her continue, she didn't know what to do.

Lin Qiuyue buried her head even lower, almost suffocating herself, her face burning red, but her ears were perked up.

Suddenly, An'an climbed onto Lin Qiuyue's lap and looked up, asking, "Sister Qiuyue, what is 'that thing' between husband and wife? What exactly is it?"

Lin Qiuyue was startled by An'an. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with tears, as if they were about to fall.

"Children shouldn't listen to that?" Lin Qiuyue covered An'an's ears with both hands: "Sister-in-law Xinghua is not saying good things, it will teach children bad things."

Unexpectedly, An'an, with her little face nestled between Lin Qiuyue's hands, tilted her head and said another sentence.

"Children can't listen to this, but does that mean children as young as Sister Qiuyue can listen to it?"

Wang Xinghua was playfully fighting with Yang Ping and Yu Sitian when she heard An An's words and burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes. People your sister Yang Ping, sister Si Tian, ​​and sister Qiu Yue are old enough to listen to it, and they should listen to it more often. Haha... Oh my."
