The next day, Qin Chizian handed two cigarettes to Master Liu: "Uncle Liu, I don't usually smoke, you keep them!"
Master Liu was excited: "Kid, I still haven't finished the ones your friends gave me last time. My son who's studying outside said these are special..."
Qin Chizian said, "It doesn't matter what it's made of, in the end it's just for people to smoke." Then he handed over two bottles of wine and a paper bag, saying, "These are also brought by those few guys. You keep the wine to drink, and give the dried fruits to my aunt to try."
Master Liu suddenly became despondent, "You aunt, I'm afraid you won't be able to taste it."
Qin Chizian was surprised, "Uncle, don't be like this! What exactly happened?"
"Ah, life is getting better, but your aunt's luck has run out. Not long ago, she complained about choking on food, and I laughed at her for becoming more delicate with age. Who would have thought that later she struggled even to drink water? We called her son back and took her to the county hospital. The doctor said it might be esophageal cancer! They didn't dare treat her there and advised us to go to a big hospital in Jiangcheng. We had to take out the savings we had set aside for the kids and went to Jiangcheng. The big hospital in Jiangcheng said that her illness hasn't spread yet, and a surgery would suffice, but the cost... it would be around twenty to thirty thousand!
Don't even mention twenty or thirty thousand; how many people in Baliushu can come up with ten thousand all at once?"
The old woman is now lying in the hospital waiting for the life-saving money.
"Speaking, the old man covered his face and started crying.
Men, sometimes it's really hard!
Qin Chizian advised: 'Uncle, don't be sad. As long as the doctor says it can be cured, we will do as the doctor says. If there's not enough money, I'll give it to you first!'"
Master Liu Grateful yet helpless: "Child, you only make around 300 RMB a month..."
Qin Chizian said: "Uncle, you don't need to worry about money. I'll give you 30,000 first, and if it's not enough, you can speak up."
Zhao Youqi called: "You didn't think about taking a single penny of that thing, did you, kid?"
Qin Chizian: "I actually wanted to keep it a secret, but then I thought we don't lack money... By the way, why can't you handle that hot stuff? What's going on with that?"
Zhao Youqi: Evading the question, "In a few days, my cousin from my aunt's house will come to hang out at your place. She just came back from the army... once hurt by love. She wants to find a quiet place to lick her wounds, relax, and you can accompany her around, and help her with her irritability and fragility..."
Qin Chizian: Shouting, "We can't play like this! First, I have to go to work; second, I have a girlfriend, what would she think if she found out about this? Third, you said she's sick, if she's sick, she should go to the hospital, right? Coming to me won't solve the problem, will it?"
Zhao Youqi: "First, you can stop going to work right away; second, your girlfriend will be very busy during this time and won't have time for sweet talk with you; third, her kind of 'princess illness' needs someone like you, a thorny stick, to cure. I've already vouched for you to my aunt and uncle.
I've said my piece, you can reserve your opinions for now, that's it, hang up."
Qin Chizian: "What is all this about?!"
What can power bring? Qin Chizian quickly experienced it:
The Town Mayor, Jian Junzhan, arrived at the Party and Government Office to announce, "Recently, Deputy Director Qin has been working very hard. After discussions with the County Party Committee and Government, we have decided to grant him a long vacation starting today. Comrade Zhu Degang will be fully responsible for the matters of the Wild Vegetable Factory and the company; Comrade He Hongmei, the Deputy Township Head, will temporarily take charge of the work at the Party and Government Office. Deputy Director Qin, you can rest from today onward."
Gao Jiajia, not understanding the situation, was happy for Qin Chizian: "Brother Qin, look how great this is for you! I taught you how to drive and helped you get your license. Now, I can lend you my car, and you can soar high like a bird in the sky or leap freely like a fish in the sea!"
Then Gau Songshan called: "Follow the organization's arrangements, don't overthink it, just relax a bit."
Aiyaximu called, with infinite excitement in her voice: "Honey, our unit organized a trip for outstanding employees. The destination is in the border area, just over a hundred miles from our hometown. Manager Liu said I can go home to visit, and Manager Liu and Brother Zhang gave me a lot of things, saying they were prepared by them because you've been too busy lately. Thank you... It's a pity you can't be with me!"
Records Qi called: "Work comes in many forms, some are tangible, and there's also a kind that is intangible..."
Qin Chizian feels like there's a The invisible hand playing with oneself, making oneself have to follow its instructions.

What should come will always come.
Early on the third day, a military jeep and a civilian off-road vehicle drove into the Baoliushu Township Government. Xiao Tian jumped down from the front vehicle and opened the back door for the other car.
A military boot stepped out, followed by another. Taut legs and an upright posture revealed that it was a woman. Her skin had a wheat-like hue, and she wore a well-fitted military uniform that exuded a different kind of allure, though her gaze seemed somewhat distant, as if she were lost in thought.
Xiao Tian stood at attention and saluted. "Comrade Squad Leader, I have been ordered to take you to your destination. Please give your instructions."
The woman returned the salute: "Permission to return to base!"
Xiao Tian raised his hand again: "Yes!" He ran to Qin Chizian and handed him a debit card and a set of keys: "Brother Qin, this is the funds and the car keys, I'm leaving."
The civilian license car was left behind as Xiao Tian boarded the military vehicle with the driver and accompanying personnel from the civilian license car, and drove away.
Qin Chizian still hasn't reacted, but the woman strides up and asks, "Is your last name Qin?"
Qin Chizian responds, "Yes."
The woman introduces herself, "My name is Qiu Yuanyuan, from now on, I will be under your command."
Qin Chizian: "Alright, I'll arrange for you to stay first. What about your luggage?"
Qiu Yuanyuan turned and opened the trunk of the civilian license car, standing there as if it were only natural, waiting for Qin Chizian to come forward. The box was very heavy, Qin Chizian carried it in front, and the woman muttered behind him, "Slow down, there are valuable cosmetics inside, don't bump and break them... Can't you be lighter... Do I need to tell you the same thing several times?"
Qin Chizian was furious, really wanting to throw the things and curse: "Get lost!"
Qin Chizian holds the keys to several rooms upstairs in the dormitory. He helped her open the closest one to himself: "You can stay here!"
Qiu Yuanyuan dragged her suitcase inside and looked around: "Where is the bathroom? Where can I take a shower?"
Qin Chizian pointed it out for her.
The response was a sharp scream: "What, the bathroom is unisex?"
Qin Chizian explained: "This building used to only have male residents, so there's only one bathroom..."
Qiu Yuanyuan still furious: "But that doesn't mean I have to share one with you!"
Qin Chizian helplessly: "Fine, you can have this bathroom, I'll go downstairs."
Qiu Yuanyuan persistently: "Where can I take a shower?"
"In the cafeteria downstairs, heat up some water, or in your own room," Qin Chizian said, covering his ears immediately after speaking.
"What, no bathtub is one thing, but how can there be no shower?" The voice was sharp and piercing. It didn't sound at all like it came from the mouth of this delicate girl.
Seeing Qin Chizian's displeased expression, Qiu Yuanyuan lowered her voice: "Okay, I understand."
Then she asked, "What's the plan for next?"
Qin Chizian retorted, "What do you want to do?"
The woman suddenly interjected, "I heard there are wild boars around here. Are you brave enough to accompany me into the mountains?"
Qin Chizian felt a surge of anger: Someone like you thinks you can catch wild boars? Catching wild boars requires a whole team of villagers with dogs and firearms!
He carefully chose his words: "Just the two of us, can't handle a wild boar?"
The woman, however, flared up like a neurotic: "Just say if you dare or not!"
Qin Chizian got angry and responded, "If you dare to die, I dare to bury you. Get your things ready, we'll leave in 10 minutes."
Qin Chizian Back in his own room, he felt annoyed: How did I end up encountering such an unpredictable and clueless celestial being!
