Chapter 141 The captain’s little thoughts
"If you can't do it, just say it earlier! Isn't this wasting time?" Zhou Jindong's voice echoed in the air, full of dissatisfaction and impatience.
As he said that, he quickly squatted down and picked up Shi Shengxia, who was sitting on the ground, by the waist.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he strode away, leaving behind only one sentence: "Captain! Lend me the ox cart. I'm taking the educated youth to the health center!"
"Jin Dong, you..."
The captain had just opened his mouth when he saw Zhou Jindong's figure had already disappeared into the distance, leaving behind only the raised dust and the crowd standing there in a daze.
Looking at Zhou Jindong holding Shi Shengxia and quickly leaving, the captain took a long time to come back to his senses. He opened his mouth, and finally let out a sigh.
However, Zhou Jindong's actions stirred up a thousand waves in the hearts of the villagers. They whispered and talked about it, all speculating about the relationship between Zhou Jindong and Shi Shengxia.
"Jin Dong really cares about Shi Zhiqing."
"It seems that Shi Zhiqing is really dating the Zhou family kid!"
"He definitely won't run away! Just think about how many times he's run away with someone in his arms!!"
The captain came back to his senses, listened to the discussions of the surrounding villagers, and looked at the gossip and curiosity on their faces.
He sighed, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to go back to work. Then he turned to look at Wang Yiming beside him with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"Comrade Wang, I'm so sorry. Jin Dong is just impatient and easily impulsive when encountering things. Don't take it personally. He means no harm to you."
The team leader tried to save the relationship between the villagers in the brigade and the comrades in the cowshed.
Wang Yiming smiled slightly, his smile revealing understanding and tolerance, and he shook his head gently.
"It's okay, Captain. I understand his concern. After all, Shi Zhiqing's injuries do look quite serious. Since I can't help, I really shouldn't delay her going to the hospital for treatment."
He paused and continued, "Captain, if there is nothing else, I will go back to work!" After that, Wang Yiming turned and left, leaving the captain standing there.
The captain looked at Wang Yiming's back and felt a little regretful. He had originally planned to use this opportunity to let Wang Yiming demonstrate his medical skills in front of everyone.
This way, everyone would look at him with admiration, and in the future, if anyone in the team had a minor injury or illness, they could go to him for a checkup. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jindong's impulsiveness ruined the plan.
Thinking of Zhou Jindong, the captain's brows were furrowed as if he could pinch a mosquito to death.
Now everyone with a discerning eye could see that the boy treated Shi Zhiqing differently, but he acted too impulsively and carried Shi Zhiqing away in full view of everyone.
Isn't this damaging the girl's reputation? The captain shook his head. It seemed that he had to find time to have a good talk with Zhou Jindong.
On the other side, after Shen Nian finished his daily work at the chicken farm at noon, he went to the town to deliver some things to Sun Yue'e and her two grandchildren, and to visit them by the way.
At this time, Shen Nian, who was riding a bicycle on the way back to the brigade, happened to meet Zhou Jindong and Shi Shengxia who were riding on a ox cart heading to the town health center.
Shen Nian immediately saw Shi Shengxia sitting on the ox cart with a painful frown on her face. Looking at Shi Shengxia with a painful expression, Shen Nian couldn't help but feel curious.
However, she and Shi Shengxia were not on good terms, so she just glanced at Shen Nian and then looked away, riding her bicycle quickly to overtake the ox cart.
At the corner, Shen Nian couldn't help but look back. She saw Zhou Jindong seemed to be holding Shi Shengxia's hand, while Shi Shengxia was leaning on him.
Shi Shengxia leaned on Zhou Jindong's chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat and feeling the warmth and security in his arms.
Although the pain in her feet made it almost impossible for her to think, at this moment, her heart was filled with gratitude and dependence.
In this conservative era where couples deliberately keep their distance when going out, how could they just lean against each other like this?
Shen Nian couldn't help but recall that no matter how close Shi Shengxia and Zhou Jindong were, everyone looked at them with surprise and curiosity, but not a trace of disapproval.
Is this what they call the halo of the hero and heroine?
Then Shen Nian shook her head again. This was none of her business, so she shouldn’t worry about it!
As soon as she got back to the door, Shen Nianle couldn't wait to come up to her: "Sister, do you know what happened in the brigade today?"
Shen Nian looked at his excited brother, smiled, and asked cooperatively: "What happened? You look like you are curious."
Shen Nianle smiled mysteriously and began to vividly describe the scene. "Hey, sister, you missed a great show. Today in the fields, Shi Zhiqing was frightened by a snake and sprained his ankle. Then Zhou Jindong, like a hero saving a damsel in distress, picked up the injured Shi Shengxia and ran to the cowshed. That scene was truly sensational."
Shen Nian raised an eyebrow after hearing this: "Oh? So she sprained her ankle?"
"That's right." Shen Nianle continued, "The captain originally asked Uncle Wang to help check her injuries. But the man named Zhou Jindong didn't believe that Uncle Wang could treat her and scolded him. He picked her up and ran away, and even the captain couldn't stop him." Shen Nianle described the scene at that time vividly.
After hearing this, Shen Nian asked thoughtfully, "You said the captain also asked Uncle Wang to treat Shi Zhiqing's injuries?"
"That's right. Uncle Wang didn't want to go at first, but the team leader came to call him personally. In the end, he went there but Zhou Jindong said he couldn't get the treatment, so Uncle Wang didn't treat him in the end." Shen Nianle explained in detail.
Shen Nianle looked at her sister Shen Nian lost in thought and couldn't help asking, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Nian came back to his senses and shook his head gently: "I wasn't thinking about anything. I was just thinking about the captain asking Uncle Wang to go and see Shi Zhiqing about his injuries."
"What's there to think about? The team leader must just want Uncle Wang to help treat Shi Zhiqing's foot injury. After all, it's the busy farming season and there's a shortage of manpower." Shen Nianle said disapprovingly.
Shen Nian frowned slightly: "Maybe, but I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
She always felt that the captain might have deeper considerations when he asked Uncle Wang to treat Shi Shengxia's foot injury.
Perhaps the team leader wanted to take this opportunity to let Uncle Wang demonstrate his medical skills so that he could serve the team in the future and become a village doctor in the team.
But now it seems that the captain's little plan should have been ruined by Zhou Jindong.
