After preparing the ground, Tian Laosi hurried home.
Gu Chen didn't hesitate, either, and went back to the house to take the Cordyceps sinensis seeds out of the box.
He also fetched two large buckets of water from the spiritual spring in the space.
Then he started planting.
He first ploughed one side of the land to ensure that it was loose, and then began digging one pit after another.
It was not difficult to dig the pits with a hoe, and each stroke of the hoe made a pit.
In no time at all, Gu Chen had dug out a row of evenly spaced pits.
He carefully scattered the seeds one by one into the pits he had dug, and then proceeded to bury all the worm-like seeds to ensure that each one was taken care of.
Then he sprinkled the spring water over each seed.
Ji Pianran came out just as Gu Chen was busy watering the seeds. Seeing how serious he was about his work, Ji Pianran didn't dare to interrupt.
He quietly went to the kitchen and took the already-cooked beef off the stove.
Little Tangtang had eaten a lot of cherries and fell asleep contentedly. It was only just now that she had woken up.
The family of three had a bowl of rice for dinner, and Gu Chen took Tang Tang to the village store.
They had run out of nylon bags at home, and there were not many left in the village. It was really troublesome to transport all kinds of things out of the village without bags.
Ji Pianran was free for a rare moment, so she took out her embroidery design and began to carefully show off her skills stitch by stitch.
The design was almost finished, and only a few feathers were missing.
If all went well, it would basically be finished in two days.
She touched the phoenix on top and couldn't help but wonder if the boss would be satisfied with the design.
Early the next morning, while Ji Pianran and Tang Tang were still sleeping, Gu Chen got up, made breakfast, tidied up a bit and left the house.
Because, he had to pick up the lab results!
Compared to Tang Tang's and his own, the one that worried him the most was Ji Pianran's.
Because of the unspoken goodbye in the previous life, it was like a thorn stuck in Gu Chen's heart.
He felt that Ji Pianran must have been forced to leave, and there are only four things in the world that are most helpless: birth, old age, illness and death.
She is only in her twenties now, so birth and old age are not a problem for her, which leaves only the last two things:
illness and death.
Thinking about this, Gu Chen couldn't help but gasp.
If it is these two things, then their family really suffered in the past life!
He hoped even more that the reason she left was because she was ruthless and desperate.
He hoped even more that during the time she disappeared, she was happy.
In the car, Gu Chen leaned her head against the seat, feeling a nervousness and trepidation in her heart like she had never felt before.
The trees along the roadside kept receding.
The distance that usually took less than half an hour felt exceptionally long today.
But half an hour felt like an entire century.
After getting out of the car, Gu Chen walked towards Lao Hu's shop. What she had planned yesterday had been completely overturned by him.
He needed a car and needed to get to the hospital as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the car that had just been repaired had already driven away, and Lao Hu was standing in the doorway smoking when he saw Gu Chen hurrying over towards him.
The sun was shining on Gu Chen, and it was obviously a warm day, but the seriousness on his face made people feel inexplicably cold.
Lao Hu could tell at a glance that Gu Chen had encountered something.
He quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and walked over to Gu Chen, concerned, 'What's wrong? What's happened?'
Gu Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth, 'It's nothing, Hu Ge, just use the car.'
Lao Hu felt in his pocket and handed Gu Chen the car keys.
'Brother, don't worry, the tank is full!'
Although he didn't know what had happened to Gu Chen, his concern for her was genuine.
Since he didn't want to talk about it, he didn't want to ask, and the only thing he could do to help her was probably just give her the car, with a full tank.
Gu Chen nodded in thanks, 'Okay, I'll pay you back for the rental.'
After saying that, he took the keys and got into the car. He started the car and drove skillfully to the entrance of the city hospital.
Parking lots in those days were not as big as they are in later generations, but there were still quite a few empty spaces.
Gu Chen casually found a space and parked the car before entering the hospital.
He walked towards the second floor of the hospital.
Following the route in his memory, he walked towards the direction of the last consultation.
Wang Lili happened to be on duty today, receiving patients at the door. Seeing Gu Chen, she smiled and waved at him.
'Handsome guy, this way!'
Gu Chen smiled and walked quickly over, 'Have the results come out yet?'
Wang Lili nodded and smiled, 'Look at you, so anxious. Of course it's out. We're the city hospital, so as soon as we start work at seven o'clock, the lab results and various reports are already delivered to the office. Today happens to be the director's shift, so you don't need to queue, just go straight in.'
Gu Chen nodded, 'Thanks.'
Without hesitation, he walked into the consultation room.
In the consultation room, the director was sitting in front of an elderly man, who was wearing a suit and sitting in a wheelchair. He looked a little imposing.
Next to him stood a young man and a man in his forties.
The three of them were wearing different clothes, but they had one thing in common: they all looked very impressive.
And judging by the fabric and workmanship, they were all expensive.
Hearing someone come in, the director's face showed some impatience. After all, this was a patient the dean had repeatedly told him about.
I wonder who's barging in here, why are they in such a hurry?
He was about to ask the person to leave when he saw Gu Chen, and his frown eased halfway.
She touched her glasses on her nose and glanced outside.
Her attitude also eased a lot, 'Young man, close the door.'
The old man sitting in front of him was specially arranged by the dean, and he didn't want anything to go wrong.
Even less did he want anyone else to come in.
Gu Chen nodded and walked over to close the door.
The director then looked at the old man in front of him with a smile and patience.
'Let's do this: I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take. If your stomach doesn't feel well later, just give me a call, and you don't need to bother coming downstairs in person, I'll have a nurse take it to your room.'
After saying this, he added, 'After all, it's been less than six months since the gastric cancer surgery, so there are bound to be some aftereffects, but don't worry, many patients with this disease eventually get better, and we will definitely do our best.'
The old man had grey hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and dressed very elegantly, but he gave an inexplicable feeling of majesty.
He smiled at the director and said, 'Then I'll trouble you, Director Jin.'
After saying that, he put his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair and made it look like he was about to leave.
The middle-aged man hurriedly came over, put his hands on the wheelchair, bent down, and looked carefully at the old man's face. 'Sir, are you going back to your ward now?'
The old man raised his hand, and the middle-aged man then pushed the wheelchair.
Gu Chen looked at the three of them and always felt that they were not simple people.
At this moment, the young man also turned around and followed behind.
Seeing the young man's appearance, Gu Chen's brows twitched. This person looked familiar.
It seemed to be the person he had bumped into last time.
