The whole story

The couple walked to the village chief again, their mentality basically adjusted.

"Village Chief! I'm so sorry. We were eating in the house and asked you to stay outside."

Mrs. Cui handed the village chief a glass of sugar water, "Drink a glass of water!"

The village chief took the water cup and said, "I have indeed eaten. If I haven't eaten and catch up with the meal at your house, how can I be polite? I will take the rice bowl to serve the rice myself without you asking me. Haha!

"

It seems that the village chief has thought about it and is much more relaxed.

Qi Futian and Cui also laughed.

The three of them had thought about it, so they were not restrained in speaking.

Qi Futian asked the village chief with a smile, "Village Chief! Are you here to discuss the shortfall of equipment with me? Didn't we agree before? I will cover the shortfall! No need to discuss anymore! Just tell me! How much is missing?

I'll make up for it."

"How big of a gap can you cover?"

The village chief glanced at Qi Futian, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Although Qi Futian was complaining in his heart, he pretended to be big on the outside, "Of course! I won't regret it if I promise you. Replacing the equipment of the rice mill is a big deal. When the rice mill stops working, our villagers have to go to other villages to grind rice.

, how can this be done!”

"Yes! It would be too troublesome to grind rice in another village! This matter cannot be delayed." Mrs. Cui agreed.

The village chief did not expect the Qi family to be so cheerful. He excitedly patted Qi Futian on the shoulder and said sincerely:

"Brother! You are a good person! You and your wife are both good people. God will reward you. Your life will be better and better in the future! If you don't believe it, let's wait and see!"

Cui said: "Thank you, village chief! You have worked hard enough. You have been running for two days and your voice has become hoarse. We know that you are busy working for everyone, so it is really difficult for you!"

The village chief shook his head, "I was just running errands, but you are the real ones. Your own house has not been repaired yet, but you have spent so much money to fill the gap for everyone. But don't worry, this money is considered a loan. In the future, everyone

When life gets better, I will go from house to house to collect them again. It makes no sense to ask you to pay so much."

The village chief said so much in one breath. Although it was to reassure the Qi couple, it was not perfunctory.

He will remember this account, and when things get better in the future, he will go to every house to collect it.

Qi Futian said: "Village chief, don't be polite. The rice mill is in serious trouble. Tell us the gap so I can go to the bank to withdraw money."

At this point, Qi Futian's mentality has been completely adjusted. He will not embarrass the village chief, not for anything else, but for the few bowls of millet given by the village chief.

He knew in his heart that Fu Bao relied on those bowls of millet to survive.

"Alas! I can barely scrape together 200 yuan, and there is a shortfall of 800 yuan! Every family's life is tight due to the famine, so we can only scrape together this."

The village chief could only say this.

In fact, many people can afford 5 yuan, but they are not willing to contribute more money for collective things. They all hide their petty intentions and are afraid that they will suffer a loss.

Although the money was difficult to collect, the village chief never mentioned Qi Futian's affair to every household.

He didn't want everyone to know that the Qi family dug up old wild ginseng.

There are many people in the village, and there is always someone with a thick skin than the bark of a tree. If he knows about it, he is sure to go to the Qi family to borrow money.

After the village chief reluctantly told the result, he continued: "Brother Futian, don't count it! It's unreasonable to ask your family to spend so much! The equipment will not be replaced!"

Qi Futian glanced at his wife, gritted his teeth and said: "Village Chief, it's okay. I'll pay for it. I promised you I'll cover it all, and I'll cover it all."

The village chief held Qi Futian's hand, "Brother! Don't say anything else! As long as I live, the money you advanced will be returned to you sooner or later!"

…

"Second brother! Today is Sunday, shall we go to the town again?"

Xiao Fubao took his second brother Tie Zhu's hand, took him to the yard, and whispered to him.

The brooding chickens at home can't lay eggs yet, and the basket of eggs she earned from the last doctor's visit was saved and eaten, so Qi Kexin wanted to earn another basket of eggs.

"Okay! When are you going?"

"Right now."

They just left. The little brother and sister told their mother that they were going fishing and would be back soon.

"Don't go too far! Just stay near our house!" Ms. Cui warned.

"Uh-huh!"

The two children agreed, picked up the washbasin and left the house.

This visit to the doctor went more smoothly than last time, and the basket of eggs was filled in no time.

"Fu Bao! Let's go back! It'll be a long time and we'll be anxious if our parents can't be found," Tiezhu said.

"Yeah! Wait a moment."

Qi Kexin looked at the mother and daughter outside the crowd.

When seeing a doctor, there are always some people watching. Some of these people are patients who want her to see her, and some are just watching the fun.

The mother and daughter standing on the periphery did not look like they were watching the fun. Their eyes were full of longing and expectation. But they did not ask her to see a doctor.

My mother is in her forties, dark, thin, and very haggard.

When my daughter was in her teens, her skin color was very different from her mother's, and she was very fair.

It's just that this fair complexion is almost pale and is not a healthy complexion.

The daughter's body looks very weak and she needs to rest on her mother's body from time to time.

Qi Kexin had the impression that he had seen this mother and daughter when he came here last time.

That time they also stood on the outside and watched silently.

Could it be that I don’t have money and can’t afford two eggs?

Qi Kexin stepped forward and said with a smile: "Auntie! It's this young lady who wants to see a doctor! Where is she feeling uncomfortable? Let me take a look. The egg basket is full and I won't accept your eggs."

"Yeah! Thank you! We originally wanted to show you that we have bought all the eggs! It's just that our disease is not an internal disease."

The mother named Fu Bao looked at the eggs in her cloth pocket and smiled bitterly.

"Auntie! What's wrong with my sister? Let me try and see!" Qi Ke thought to himself.

"leukemia."

The girl spoke herself.

"The doctor said this disease can't be cured. My mother said maybe the little miracle doctor can cure it because the little miracle doctor has special powers. But we looked at it for a long time and found that you only looked after the disease and did not treat people."

Qi Kexin's heart suddenly ached, it was leukemia again!

She met two such patients in a short period of time. She felt that there should be quite a few people here suffering from this disease.

Then she thought of her Angel No. 1.

Angel No. 1, a Chinese herbal medicine developed in a previous life to treat leukemia, has been tested successfully, but is still short of clinical application.

Qi Kexin has no doubts about the efficacy of Angel No. 1. She actually hopes to push Angel No. 1 out in this life to save more lives.

Nowadays, the scientific research project report and the formula of Angel No. 1 are in her space, but they cannot exert their effect.

Because no one would believe that a 3-year-old child could develop such valuable results.

How about dedicating the report to a scientific research institution?

She once had such an idea.

But in what name she would donate it, she hasn't decided yet.
