On the victims' side, several of Lu Dagui's "brothers" and several subordinates sent by Qian Yu worked together to maintain order. Although there were many people, it was still orderly.
Zhang Qiuying is very smooth and capable. With her joining, the division of labor within the medical center is just right. Lu Yufang collects medicines and collects money. Lu Dagui and Zhang Qiuying are responsible for boiling medicines and applying them. Chu Yue and Doctor Zhu treat people.
The two people, who were already good at medical skills, joined forces and could easily overcome any serious illness. In just half a day, everyone in Nanping Town knew about this newly opened medical clinic.
Not only is the treatment here cheap, but the doctors' medical skills are also superb. The Hui Chun Tang, which was originally the only one in the country, saw its business plummet due to the Xingyue Medical Clinic that appeared out of thin air.
Shopkeeper Hu of Huichun Hall looked at the few patients in the medical clinic and frowned.
"Shunzi, go to Xizhi Street and see what's going on?"
The boy at the door hurriedly responded and ran to Xizhi Street. After a while, he returned to Huichun Hall and reported what he had just seen to Shopkeeper Hu.
But shopkeeper Hu narrowed his eyes.
"Today, there are countless people who are sick. Not only do they give free medicine, but they also charge so cheap for consultation. Do you really think that you are a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering?"
Shunzi bowed and asked, "Shopkeeper, would you like me to go find out about their background?"
Shopkeeper Hu shook his head.
"No, they're just clowns. Most of the people who support them now are disaster victims. It's just a thankless job. Most wealthy people don't bother to line up there. We just do our part of the business."
"yes."
…
At Xingyue Medical Center, several people were so busy that they could finally take a break when it was time for dinner.
The first thing Zhang Qiuying did when she had free time was to go upstairs and take her child down. Fortunately, the child didn't cry. After waking up, she stayed next to Zhang Zheng and ate a piece of rice cake. Now she will see Getting up is much better.
The little girl looks about two or three years old, thin and small, and looks a little timid.
Zhang Qiuying gave her a small bowl of porridge and placed it in the corner. He also took a small spoon and asked her to scoop it out. She also filled a small bowl for herself and sat down next to the little girl to eat, because it was Mother and daughter ate together. She was afraid that everyone would gossip, so she didn't dare to fill the bowl of porridge too much. After finishing the small bowl of porridge, although her stomach was almost half full, it was better than being hungry.
Lu Dagui seemed to have noticed Zhang Qiuying's thoughts and said hurriedly, "Sister Qiuying, the kitchen is still available. If you are not full, go get some more."
Zhang Qiuying hurriedly waved her hands, "No, I've almost eaten half a bowl."
Knowing that she was embarrassed to eat more because she had a child with her, Lu Dagui handed the porridge that he had not used his chopsticks to her hand, and then took the empty bowl from her hand.
"How can it be enough for an adult to only eat half a bowl of porridge? There are a lot of things in the afternoon. I haven't touched this bowl yet. You eat it first, and I'll get another bowl."
Lu Dagui knows better than anyone how difficult it is to raise a child alone.
But he was lucky because he had Lu Xinghe and his family to help him.
Zhang Qiuying is a woman with a child and doesn't even have a decent place to stay. It's much harder than him.
Zhang Qiuying looked at Lu Dagui's back and then looked at the porridge bowl in her hand, her eyes a little red.
People who meet by chance are much warmer than so-called close relatives.
She spread the porridge in the bowl to the child beside her, and touched her head with a gentle face, "Miaomiao, eat more, you must get better soon."
Miaomiao, who was immersed in eating, glanced in the direction of Zhang Qiuying, raised her lips, and her round eyes curved into small crescents with a smile.
After eating, the group continued to work. Because of the bowl of porridge at noon, Zhang Qiuying also had a few more words to say when facing Lu Dagui.
"Brother Lu, how many people are there in your family?"
Lu Dagui replied while applying the medicine, "My son and I."
Zhang Qiuying was a little surprised, "Are you just two people in your family? Where is your sister-in-law?"
"She's gone." Lu Dagui said extremely calmly.
Now he has accepted this fact.
"Leaving?" Zhang Qiuying had a puzzled look on her face.
Lu Dagui nodded without being secretive, "I used to be uneducated and my family was poor. She couldn't bear it, so she left the child behind. Now I see you running around with a child in your arms, and I think of me." It wasn’t easy at the beginning. At that time, the family couldn’t even open the pot, so it was really difficult.”
Lu Dagui's face was full of nostalgia.
Looking at the weathered man next to her, Zhang Qiuying couldn't help but feel curious, "Then how did you get through it later?"
"It was Dr. Chu's family who helped me and got me out of the predicament I was in."
Zhang Qiuying nodded, "Doctor Chu and his family are really good people."
Lu Dagui agreed with his face.
"Really? They are all my nobles." He said, looking in the direction of Zhang Qiuying, "What about you? What are your plans in the future?"
Zhang Qiuying had a look of confusion on her face, "I don't know, I have nowhere to go. Now that Dr. Chu is kind enough to take me here to help, I will help with some things and wait until I save some money."
Lu Dagui looked at her, "You are still so young, don't you plan to get married again?"
Zhang Qiuying shook her head helplessly, "I am already over 20 years old. How can it be so easy for a woman who has been married and has children to get married?"
Lu Dagui took a look at Zhang Qiuying. She was slender and well-proportioned, with no trace of having given birth to a child. She was good-looking, honest and capable, and she always took care of her children. It would be great if she could live together.
During this time, he felt more and more that what Aunt Yun said made sense, that there could not be a woman at home.
While he was out making money to support his family, at least there was someone watching over his family.
However, he did not express his thoughts, thinking that it would be better to find a matchmaker after the situation in the town stabilized after a period of contact.
Sensing Lu Dagui's expression, Zhang Qiuying suddenly became nervous.
"Brother Lu, why are you looking at me like this?"
Lu Dagui smiled and continued to apply the medicine, "It's nothing, I just think it's not easy for you."
Zhang Qiuying smiled.
"We'll all get through this."
The two were chatting and laughing, and fell into the eyes of a figure in the crowd. Perhaps they felt that their smiles were dazzling, and the woman who was originally queuing covered her face and withdrew from the crowd in despair, walking away into the distance.
Because there were too many people in line, Lu Dagui did not notice the figure.
The first day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was evening. People who had been busy all day needed to rest, and the medical center was about to close.
At this time, the stay of Zhang Qiuying's mother and daughter has become a big problem. There is no kang in the hospital, so sleeping people will definitely catch a cold. In addition, she is not very familiar with her, so Chu Yue is not worried about leaving this room of medicinal materials with her. one place.
But it seems a bit unhuman to just ignore it.
Just when Lu Dagui was about to speak, Lu Yufang spoke.
"Why don't you come to my house? I have a lot of rooms, and I can make one room for you to live in."
