The face of this big girl who had done something stupid turned pale, and her heart really hit rock bottom. If the driver and conductor brought her to work and home, it would be a small matter if her job was not guaranteed, but it would be a big deal if her reputation was ruined.
"Brother driver, sister conductor, I was really wrong. Please don't go to my unit. I'm willing to pay for it. I'm willing to pay twenty yuan. I can write an IOU and I'll pay it back to you after I pay my wages."
The driver and conductor were delighted. Twenty yuan seemed and might be acceptable, but they couldn't ask for the money openly, otherwise they would be reported and lose their jobs.
When Li Huan received the driver's request for help, he immediately knew what he was thinking. He thought that the driver specialized in the Chuncheng route and might be useful in the future, so he had to help.
"Comrade Public Security, this driver and conductor are serious and responsible in their work, so I am going to write a letter of praise to their leaders. In addition, I will tell their leaders that this female comrade realizes her mistake and is willing to compensate them twenty yuan."
The police comrade took a deep look at Li Huan. No wonder this guy was favored by the commune leaders and got the position of village chief. He was indeed a little slippery, but he didn't know what this driver had that was worthy of his help.
When the driver and conductor heard this, they felt very happy. The twenty yuan was finally in their hands. They looked at Cheng Qiao and Li Huan gratefully and felt that these two people must be their nobles.
The eldest girl wrote down the IOU with a grimace, and she will have to pay it back when her salary is paid next month, otherwise they will still bring trouble to her work. This lesson is too profound.
"Comrade Li, Comrade Cheng, how about I take you to the hospital?"
The driver got the benefit and happily grabbed Li Huan and Cheng Qiao who were about to leave and wanted to take them to the hospital. Li Huan shook his head. The medicine in Cheng Qiao's hand was much better than the medicine in the hospital, so there was no need to go to the hospital.
When the driver and conductor saw that Li Huan and Cheng Qiao were insistent, they did not force themselves. They got on the bus and left quickly. Cheng Qiao borrowed a room from the Public Security Bureau to disinfect and apply medicine to little Cheng Li.
"Baby, disinfection is a little painful, but mom knows that little Cheng Li is a man, so he's not afraid of pain, right?"
Little Cheng Li looked at Cheng Qiao with tears in his eyes, and finally nodded. His mother was right. He is a man. He will protect his mother in the future, so how can he be afraid of pain?
Cheng Qiao found a black handbag from her backpack, took out a small bottle of disinfectant cotton swabs, and gently disinfected Xiao Chengli. The alcohol irritated the skin, but Xiao Chengli closed his mouth tightly and remained silent.
After thorough disinfection, Cheng Qiao took out anti-inflammatory powder and carefully applied it on the wound. The two blood stains turned into two yellow hills, which was particularly ugly.
"You are so good, little Cheng Li. Mommy will give you a big reward later. Can you let your daddy make you a small wooden gun to play with?"
Xiao Cheng Li's eyes lit up. He liked this toy. Perhaps his eyes were too longing. Li Huan suddenly felt guilty. He had indeed neglected his son's toy.
"Well, be good, son. Dad will help you make it when you get back. How about making two handfuls, one long and one short."
Little Cheng Li finally smiled, but the smile touched his skin. He immediately held his breath and resumed breathing after the pain passed.
Cheng Qiao opened the kettle dedicated to little Cheng Li and fed him a sip of well water. The warm well water entered his throat, and little Cheng Li felt that the pain on his face seemed to be much lighter.
"Yeah, drink."
Cheng Qiao fed him a few more mouthfuls, but did not dare to give him too much to drink. If the wound healed too quickly, people would be suspicious. For the sake of her son's safety, she had to be more cautious.
"Lele, let's go have dinner first, and then go to the county house to rest for a while. You can take Xu Hui home on your bicycle. Your second sister-in-law and I will have to wait here."
"Are you waiting for the second sister-in-law's father? What about little Cheng Li?"
Li Le knew it well, but when he saw Xiao Cheng Li's face, he felt a little worried.
"It'll be okay for little Cheng Li to follow us. Don't worry, don't tell mother about this first, otherwise she will be anxious to death."
Li Le and Xu Hui nodded at the same time. They both knew that Mother Li's baby, little Cheng Li, would definitely be anxious if they knew that little Cheng Li had been hurt on the face.
Several people went to the state-owned hotel and had a hearty meal, and then went to the county house together. Li Le was surprised to find that the outer courtyard of the house had been renovated.
"Second brother, when did you fix it? It's so beautiful."
Xu Hui was surprised when he saw the somewhat impressive Er entering the yard. He didn't expect that his parents actually had a house in the county. This was so... rich.
"Sleep for a while, and when you wake up, you two will go back first."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Let's go back now."
Li Le was worried that Mother Li was missing them at home, so he shook his head quickly. Cheng Qiao took out the clothes and food he bought for Mother Li, Ye Jun, and Grandma Xu Hui, and put them into another basket for Xu Hui to carry.
"Xu Hui, wait until I have a stable ride before jumping up."
Li Le got on the bicycle. It was a little rickety at first, but it became stable after a while. But when Xu Hui jumped on, it swayed again. Cheng Qiao was so frightened that Cheng Qiao stared at it, not daring to blink, until he was sure that Li Le could ride it steadily.
After following Xu Hui home, I felt relieved.
"You take little Cheng Li to have a rest, and I'll go find Shouhou and ask him to bring out more goods in the next two days."
Cheng Qiao nodded, and after Li Huan went out, he locked the second door, took little Cheng Li into the space, coaxed him to sleep, and then started to prepare supplies.
Cigarettes and wine are necessary, and don't forget the cigarettes promised to Uncle Niu. First, take a pack and put it in your pocket, then take the milk powder, white sugar, brown sugar, sausage, and pork, these are also necessary.
As for the rice and flour, I asked Li Huan and the others to prepare it. In fact, the rice and flour she brought out were a little white and delicate. If they were put together with the rice noodles that Li Huan brought out, the filling would be easily exposed.
After preparing all this, Cheng Qiao came to the extra room and stood at the door rubbing his hands. This feeling of opening a blind box was really something to look forward to.
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Qiao opened the door and saw an ancient blue screen wall with four words engraved on it.
Isn't this the ancient book that the master gave her? Why did she end up here? Cheng Qiao quickly returned to the bedroom. She remembered that she put the book on the desk so that she could check it at any time.
The desk was empty. He glanced at little Cheng Li who was still sleeping soundly. Cheng Qiao walked out quietly and returned to the room to observe carefully.
Walking around the screen wall, what comes into view is a row of large, quaint cabinets with countless drawers and various characters engraved on them.
Cheng Qiao took a closer look, health pills, anti-inflammatory powder, hemostasis powder, soul-fixing pill...
