Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s

Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Midterm Exams Are Coming Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Midterm Exams Are Coming As the working day was nearly over, the neighboring village’s doctor, who worked at the commune’s health clinic, took a detour to the Qingshan Village headquarters to relay Stone’s situation to the branch secretary and the village head, explaining that he came on the orders of the clinic’s director.

The doctor said, “The twenty yuan that was paid has already been spent, and now there are outstanding medical fees. If the fees are not replenished, the clinic won’t be able to continue giving Stone IV drips for the inflammation, and the consequences could be unimaginable.”

The Sun Family was called back from the fields early. Both the branch secretary and the village head were in a headache-inducing dilemma, as they hadn’t come up with a solution by the time work in the fields ended for the day.

The Sun Family Main Wife and the third wife started to blame the second wife. If it weren’t for the incident they caused, they wouldn’t be in such an embarrassing situation.

After finishing work, Luo Qiao went straight home to cook. Today she made mung bean porridge, steamed two sugar-filled buns and flower rolls, stir-fried a dish of anise hyssop, and smashed a cucumber.

No sooner had she finished cooking than she heard someone calling from outside the front door. Luo Qiao washed her hands quickly and stepped outside.

It was Qiao Ruimei, the same student who had visited last time: “Ruimei, hello there.”

Qiao Ruimei looked at Luo Qiao and said, “Next Monday, the teacher wants you to come to school early. The middle school exams are on Wednesday.”

Luo Qiao smiled and said, “I know, thank you. Having you come all this way again in such hot weather, please wait a moment.”

She quickly picked a sweet melon and a cucumber from the backyard, washed them in the kitchen, and then came out to hand them to Qiao Ruimei: “It’s so hot, and you’ve come all this way again. Take these to quench your thirst on the road.”

Qiao Ruimei felt somewhat embarrassed. Last time they had given her dates, and now they were giving her melons. She wanted to say that it really wasn’t necessary, but the sweet melon looked truly delicious.

Without allowing for any argument, Luo Qiao placed the items in her hands: “They’re all grown by me; they’re not worth much.”

Blushing, Qiao Ruimei said, “Thank you.”

Luo Qiao said, “No need to thank me—it’s me who keeps bothering you.”

After seeing off Qiao Ruimei, Luo Qiao noted that Lu Yichen hadn’t returned yet. She thought that if he didn’t come back soon, she would go to the clinic to bring food herself.

Just as she was about to fill the bamboo tube with porridge, she heard the front gate; someone had entered the courtyard.

Poking her head out, she saw Lu Yichen had returned, his lunchbox already washed, but Luo Qiao still scalded it with boiling water before she began to fill it with food.

After finishing the food, she set it aside, letting Lu Yichen eat first while she prepared to deliver the meal shortly.

Lu Yichen came carrying a bag of rice, intending to put it in the kitchen, but then he noticed the pile of items on the ground.

Pointing at the items on the ground, Lu Yichen asked, “Did you go to the commune this morning?”

“No,” Luo Qiao replied, “these were thank-you gifts from others.”

Luo Qiao intentionally hadn’t put away these items, thinking that in the future, if she needed to add some extra food to their storage, she would have a pretext.

She then briefly mentioned the events that had happened in town that day. Lu Yichen tapped Luo Qiao’s forehead, saying, “You’re getting bolder, but you did well.”

Luo Qiao covered the spot where he had tapped and said, “That hurt.”

Nonchalantly, Lu Yichen replied, “Without a little pain, you won’t remember.”

After eating, Lu Yichen left with Stone’s meal, but it wasn’t long before he returned.

Upon hearing the noise and coming out, Luo Qiao was momentarily stunned, “Why are you back again?”

Lu Yichen asked, “Can you ride a bicycle?”

Luo Qiao nodded, “I can. Why, something came up and you can’t go?”

Lu Yichen made sure the bicycle was steady: “Go ahead and deliver Stone’s meal for me. I just went down there, and the Sun Family people were at the headquarters. It’s almost turned into a full-blown quarrel, I’m going in to see if we can sort out Stone’s issue quickly.”
