Chapter 887: One Needle Causes a Thousand Ripples
After the medical team had dinner, a few children even volunteered to help clean up, and Luo Qiao was moved by these down-to-earth kids. She went back to her room and grabbed a couple of handfuls of White Rabbit Creamy Candies to distribute to the children who helped.
The children’s faces were all lit up with radiant smiles.
This time Luo Qiao came to the countryside she wanted to find out more about the area here. Before this, she had already asked Xu Shifan and others to sponsor hundreds of students in Capital City and Dongbei area. Next, she was thinking of allocating a portion of yearly profits to build a few primary schools in impoverished areas.
She had heard that medical personnel were being organized for free clinics in impoverished areas, so she immediately signed up.
First, she genuinely wanted to use her knowledge to do something concrete for the villagers; second, she wanted to scope out the situation to have a clear understanding and discuss with Xu Shifan back in Capital City about what to do next.
After discussing with the team leader and the commissary in charge, he came over and briefed everyone briefly, "Comrades, the place for the free clinic is right here at the commune’s middle school where we’re staying. Tomorrow morning the locals will come and line up. You all have been traveling by car all day, if there’s nothing else, everyone should rest early."
In Capital City, Lu Yichen finished his meal at the cafeteria and went home, smiling at the two characters Luo Qiao had written for him.
Although they were affectionate and often inseparable in their honeymoon phase, Qiaoqiao had never said those two words to him; he too could only express these words occasionally, deeply moved, while holding her. Those words made his heart swell with sweetness.
Thinking about his wife who had left for the countryside, he wondered whether the place she stayed was good and how the food was. His mind was full of her image as he looked at the characters in his palm.
Remembering her instructions, he was determined to ask someone to get more IV drippy bottles tomorrow, and as he lay in bed, the hand with those characters rested on his chest until he finally fell asleep.
