Chapter 538 Rescued
Dozens of people in the room gathered around.
The old doctor closed his eyes, calmed down and said, "It's OK. His life is saved. If nothing unexpected happens, he will wake up the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, he staggered.
Zhou Gu held him and said, "Come on, doctor, go inside and have a rest."
The whole family cried with joy; their life was finally saved.
Wang Fugui and others were also very happy. Zhou Dacang was so young and had not even married yet. It would be a pity if he died at such a young age.
Someone brought up the reserved food, and the two of them ate several large bowls. After resting for more than an hour, Lao Zheng felt full of energy again.
The old doctor was ineffective, so he just washed and went to bed. He needed to get a good rest, otherwise how could he treat the disease?
Zhou Guo said to Wang Fugui and his group, "Uncle, aunt, thank you so much for the past two days. You have been keeping watch here all night. Now everything is fine. You can go back and have a rest. One day, when uncle wakes up, we will set up two tables at home and invite you all to come and have a meal. It will be lively and fun."
Li said, "Yes, everyone is tired after a night of following, let's go back and have a good sleep."
Wang Fugui yawned and nodded, "Okay, then we'll go back first. If there's any movement, be sure to send someone to tell us. No, just stand over here on the river and shout at the top of your lungs, and I'll come."
Everyone said yes.
Zhou Guo and the others nodded, saw them off, and went back to their homes.
Li said to Zhou Guo and the others, "You all should go to sleep for a while. I will take care of this place."
Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi had not been to school for the past two days and had been staying at home. Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi said to them, "Since your uncle is fine now, you should go to school tomorrow. You haven't finished your homework for the past two days. Go to sleep, get up in the evening and finish your homework, and go to school tomorrow."
Both should be.
Zhou Guo really couldn't hold on any longer. There was an old man watching over in the mountains, so she didn't worry. She went back to the house, took off her clothes and shoes, and fell asleep.
When she woke up, the setting sun was shining through the window frames and Zhou Xing was lying beside her. She didn't even know when she came back.
There was some noise in the kitchen outside. From the sounds it seemed like there were Qian, Chen, and Wang Fugui and his wife. I guess they came to help with the cooking because they had a large family.
She stretched herself, got up, put on her shoes, ran her hands through her hair, picked out a lot of small dead branches, picked them up, and tied a high ponytail with a ribbon.
I haven't cut my hair in the past two years. I eat well and I'm in good health, so my hair is naturally shiny black, and it looks very good when tied up.
He was wearing a waistcoat with the sleeves tied up for working convenience, and a pair of soap-colored boots.
This is what she often wears when working in the mountains, black pants and blue clothes. It is dirt-resistant and not cumbersome, and she likes it very much.
Old Zheng was already drinking tea in the yard. When he saw her come out, his eyes lit up and he waved to her over.
He looked her up and down and said with a smile, "It's amazing. I was so busy these past two days that I didn't get to see you properly. I haven't seen you for two years, and you've grown so big."
After saying that, she frowned again, "Why are you dressed like this? How can a nice young lady dress up like a bad boy?"
Zhou Guo didn't answer, but sat down and looked at the old doctor. "Where's the old doctor?"
Old Zheng said, "He's still sleeping. The old doctor is old. He's been running around and worrying for so many days. He's so tired. He'll probably sleep until tomorrow morning. Forget about him. Let's talk about you. Why are you dressed like this?"
Zhou Guo looked down at herself and said innocently, "What's wrong with this? Isn't it good? If I don't dress like this, how do you want me to dress? Wear a skirt, a bun, and jewelry?"
Lao Zheng said, "I remember you liked these things before, didn't you? Don't you like them now?"
Zhou Guo also poured herself a cup of tea and said, "Of course I like it. Who doesn't like beautiful things? But I'm not some young lady who doesn't like women. Uncle, I have to work, go up the mountain, down the river, and farm. If I wear that, it won't be convenient for me to walk around the mountain. I don't know how dirty my skirt will be. It will be ruined in vain. What a pity."
Old Zheng said, "Even so, you still have to make yourself two nice dresses and buy some flowers to wear. It just so happens that your uncle Zheng still has some money. I'll get it for you. Your uncle Hei and uncle Liu knew that I was coming back, so they asked me to bring you a red envelope. Your uncle Hei also asked you to buy some nice clothes and some nice flowers to wear."
As he spoke, he rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a bulging purse and stuffed it into her hand.
Zhou Guo looked at the money bag in his hand and smiled, saying to him, "Uncle, no need. I have done a lot of things in the two years you were away. Although our family is not rich now, we are not so short of money. I will take you to the mountains tomorrow. You can take this money. This is all your hard-earned money. I can't take it every time. Just leave it to your wife and children."
Old Zheng sighed and said, "My wife and children are both in Beijing. I don't know when I can see them again. Besides, they don't need my money."
She couldn't agree to this, and finished the snacks she was eating in a few bites, and said, "How can you not need it? Even if your family is not short of money, this is the hard-earned money you earned with your life, and it is different from the money at home. If you use this money to buy them gifts, they will definitely be very happy."
Lao Zheng frowned, "Is that so?"
After a moment, he threw it all at once to her, "Just take it. Besides, there's not only my money in here, but also gifts from your Uncle Hei and Uncle Liu. They're not here, so I won't take the money you return, or I'll get beaten up later."
Zhou Guo thought about it and accepted it, saying with a smile: "Okay, I'll keep it. When you leave, I'll prepare a lot of delicious dried meat for you."
Old Zheng was very happy, playing with the teacup and said, "This is more like it. She almost became my goddaughter, and you are still so polite. It's not like you have never taken her away."
Zhou Guo stood up and said, "Then sit down first, I'll make you something delicious."
I walked into the kitchen and saw another basket of pine mushrooms, all with the mud scraped off.
Just as she was about to help, Li said, "Go out, there are so many people in the kitchen, it's already crowded, why are you joining in the fun? Are you just going to leave your uncle Zheng there alone?"
Zhou Guo said: "I just wanted to make him a delicious dish. Fried pine mushrooms are my specialty."
Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Are we the only ones who don't know how to fry pine mushrooms? Come on out. He hasn't been here for a few years. You can take him around for a walk."
Zhou Guo glanced at the sky and said, "It's almost dark. Where can I go? Forget it. I'll light two fires and grill some meat."
