Chapter 269 - Chapter 269 Chapter 269 Waiting for Nan Fei_1

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Waiting for Nan Fei_1 Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Waiting for Nan Fei_1 “What?” The chief doctor roared, “She’s not here? You’ve been covering her night shifts?”

Since the head nurse and the chief doctor had only been working day shifts lately, they hadn’t expected this situation and hadn’t noticed it. Hearing about it now, they were both shocked and furious.

“Ridiculous, she’s a full-time employee, how can she let an intern cover her shifts?”

“This is playing with people’s lives.”

The head nurse gave Nan Fei a complex look before saying, “Director, I’ll go verify this. If it’s true, we’ll have to handle this matter from scratch.”

“Go! If it’s true, tell Jiang Minmin not to come anymore!” The director, seemingly infuriated, retorted, “This is ridiculous! Investigate thoroughly this time, this is getting out of hand.”

Feeling shame for her lack of supervision, the head nurse quickly left.

“Get up!” Nan Fei smiled at Sun Lu, intending to help her up, but instead Sun Lu shied away and hurriedly stood up on her own. Having realized her rejection might have embarrassed Nan Fei, she hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry… I… I didn’t mean that. I just feel… embarrassed.”

Saying that, her face turned even more crimson.

“It’s okay!” Nan Fei didn’t mind. She had only spoken up to state the facts she knew. She could also tell that the nurse in front of her was introverted and timid, despite being older than her.

A common case for most country girls.

“Keep up the good work!” She flashed a fist pump at Sun Lu just as she turned to see Huo Beijiang standing outside, looking at her intently through the glass. Nan Fei’s heart skipped a beat and she immediately felt somewhat embarrassed.

Did he see everything just now?

“I’m leaving now! Goodbye.” She hurriedly left, while Sun Lu, anxiously wanting to follow her, could only stay put due to the director’s presence, her gaze lingering on Nan Fei as she disappeared.

Huo Beijiang, holding something in his hand, gazed at Nan Fei coming out, his eyes full of meaning.

“What are you looking at?” Nan Fei felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

“Looking at your beauty.”

Nan Fei: “…”

Couldn’t he be serious for once?

As the sun began setting in the evening, it was time for students to leave school. Most families had several children, and groups of students were walking from the town’s main road along their respective village paths, creating a bustling and lively scene.

Jiang Yang brought a small stool and sat obediently on it. Propping his chin with both hands, he carefully watched the students on the road, afraid to miss anyone.

When Zhang Fengmei came out of the yard, she saw her son acting silly again. She couldn’t help but put down her work to ask, “Jiang Yang, what are you doing?”

Jiang Yang didn’t turn his head but focused his all energy and simply responded, “Waiting!”

“Waiting for what?” Zhang Fengmei said as she massaged her aching arms and back. Recently, the bean curd business had been booming, and she and De Chun were as busy as tops.

Even sleeping time was running short.

Although it was hard, they were making money. Every night before they went to bed, they would count the day’s income. The joy made them laugh even in their dreams.

“Are you waiting for your sister to get out of school? She walks, so she’s a bit slower than those who bike. Maybe it’s another ten minutes or so!”

Jiang Yang put down his left hand, picked up a twig from the ground and began to play with ants, without responding.

Zhang Fengmei asked him to come home to eat fresh tofu pudding, but he refused to leave.

[Goodnight, kisses.]
