Downstairs in the girls' dormitory building.

After dropping the girls off, Chen Jianji waved to them.

"Then I'll be going now."

"I'm so dizzy from sitting in the car for so long, I'm going back to sleep."

"Okay, let's go back and take a nap too."

The group walked back to their dormitory building.

Only Zhang Xinyi remained standing there, giving him a disdainful look.

"Stop pretending! Where are you getting carsick?!"

Chen Jianji paused, and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

How can he explain that buses are completely different from other vehicles?

Fortunately, Zhang Xinyi didn't make him feel awkward any longer.

He handed over the bag he was carrying.

"Take it back. You haven't eaten much. Don't go hungry and then make excuses to slack off during evening self-study!"

Chen Jianji looked at the bag handed to him, did not refuse, and smiled as he reached out to take it.

"Our young lady really knows how to care for people. Who can compare to her sweet and considerate nature?"

"Pah, who cares about you! Don't make excuses for not memorizing vocabulary!"

Zhang Xinyi glared at Chen Jianji before turning and leaving.

Watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, Chen Jianji weighed the bag in his hand; it was quite heavy.

He remembered that Liu Yun's share was also in this bag.

Chen Jianji could already imagine the scene of this young lady returning to the dormitory and desperately trying to pin the blame on him.

Tsk.

This young lady has a terrible temper; she's easily impulsive and doesn't think things through.

but...

Chen Jianji looked down at the bag in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

They are quite cute, though.

He shook his head and turned to walk away towards the boys' dormitory.

But they had only been gone a short while.

Ding ding...

The phone rang.

Chen Jianji stopped where he was and picked it up to take a look.

It was a call from my dad, Chen Guochang.

Chen Jianji paused.

My parents both know that the college entrance exam is next week.

Are you suggesting that parents should follow other parents' example and bring him special meals to help him recover?

A smile crept across Chen Jianji's lips as he swiped his finger to answer the call.

"What's up, Dad? You came to my school?"

"You're late. I had a big meal today."

As he spoke, he tucked the phone between his shoulder and ear.

The bag was switched hands, and the sound was light and cheerful.

Having family members who care about him and having ancestors around, he has to take care of them, but there are also benefits.

For example, isn't this pile of vegetables in my hand a perfect example?

But after Chen Jianji finished speaking.

There was still no sound on the other end of the phone.

There was only a cacophony of noise, and more noticeable was Chen Guochang's panting.

Chen Jianji's smile froze instantly.

He reached out and picked up the phone again, holding it firmly to his ear.

Suddenly, he heard a shout coming from the other end of the phone.

"Someone's here, bed 38 in the emergency room, needs medication!"

Chen Jianji's heart sank, and his face immediately tightened.

"Dad, where are you?"

......

Outside the People's Hospital building in the county town.

Chen Guochang squatted to the side, smoking one cigarette after another in frustration.

After a long while, he finally looked at Zhang Jianjun beside him.

"Old Zhang, what do you think that couple is thinking?"

"I've had them come to help me every day for the past week, and the wages they pay are pretty good, plus meals are included."

"He just won't come no matter what, Lao Zhang. Are you sure you've delivered my message?"

Zhang Jianjun was also smoking, and a look of confusion appeared on his face, which was tanned from years of sun exposure.

"Old Chen, I definitely passed on your message. I told you that you want the chicken coop built as soon as possible, and you can also raise the wages a bit."

"I don't understand either. Your wages are high, the work isn't very strenuous, and it's quite safe, so why do they insist on..."

As he spoke, he sighed heavily, threw the cigarette he was holding on the ground, and stomped it out.

Chen Guochang scratched his head, he really couldn't figure it out.

Why did that couple insist on going to such lengths, even though it was so close?

He had plenty of money but little work, and he wouldn't take jobs close to home. Instead, he insisted on working on a construction site three miles away, which caused him to strain his back!

Fortunately, only one person was injured, and the other was unharmed.

Otherwise, wouldn't this company just go bankrupt?

"Old Chen, has Lin Xinrong's wife arrived yet?"

Zhang Jianjun asked.

Chen Guochang shook his head.

"I had Su-ling take her back to my house. She's like a lost soul and not suitable to come over. Let's see how things go first."

He still looked annoyed.

Zhang Jianjun knew he wanted to help the family, and couldn't help but comfort him.

"We happened to be buying hardware nearby at the time. After the incident, we took him to the village for a quick check-up, and now we've brought him to the county town. The medical facilities here are good, so he should be alright."

I just finished speaking.

A nurse ran out of the emergency room.

Who are the family members of Lin Xinrong, the patient in bed 38?

Chen Guochang quickly got up.

"How is he?"

"Come on in!"

Chen Guochang and Zhang Jianjun exchanged a glance.

"Let's go take a look!"

soon.

The two arrived at the door of the emergency room ward.

A doctor wearing a white coat and a mask stood at the door talking to a nurse.

After meeting the two of them.

The doctor then gave the nurse his last instruction: "Go get the medication and apply it to the patient."

"good!"

Until the nurse left.

The doctor handed over the documents and quickly addressed the two of them.

"The patient has injured his lumbar spine and knees. We are now preparing to apply medication to his knees."

"But you need to have surgery on your lumbar spine. Which of you is a family member? You need to sign here."

Chen Guochang looked at the surgical risk disclosure form handed to him and was about to take it when...

The doctor removed the pen from the document and checked it again.

Are you a family member?

Chen Guochang was slightly taken aback: "No... we are friends, but this is a matter of life and death. We need to treat him first. His family is all well, we can't let anything happen to them."

The doctor frowned.

"According to regulations, the surgical risk statement must be signed by a legally related person. Please notify his family to come as soon as possible so I can prepare the surgical instruments. If they really can't arrive within half an hour, then we can consider having you sign it, or our hospital director can approve it directly."

"Alright, the patient is still unconscious. You can go check on him and remember to notify the family."

After the doctor finished speaking, he turned and left.

Chen Guochang and Zhang Jianjun looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while.

Chen Guochang then said, "Old Zhang, go inside and take a look. I'm going to make a phone call."

"OK."

I watched as Zhang Jianju entered the ward.

Chen Guochang slowly sat down on the iron bench next to him and took out his phone.

He stared at the screen, somewhat dazed.

How could this happen?

A few days ago, he joked with Su-ling, saying that the man's surname was Lin.

Their son cared so much about them, and besides, all the notebooks in that brat's room had the name Lin Qingxue on them.

Doesn't that make sense?

But right now...

Hey!

Chen Guochang scratched his hair.

Half an hour...

It takes more than half an hour to get here from the village.

Chen Guochang gripped his phone tightly and found his son's number.

After hesitating for a moment, I finally gritted my teeth and dialed the number.
