The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 50: Which is more important, life or reputation?
I saw a lot of team members along the way. Everyone was looking at them. There was gossip when a man and a woman walked together, let alone they were sending someone to the health center.

"Little Chen Zhiqing, what's going on?"

Chen Huaiyang explained, "Young educated youth Yang was delirious due to fever, and everyone else was busy working, so I had to take her to the hospital."

"I wanted to ask the captain to deliver it, but he was busy and ignored me. So I had no choice but to deliver it."

"I'm the only one among the educated youths who has less money on hand. They pushed me out and I have no choice." He spread his hands to show his helplessness.

In particular, the depressed thoughts on his face let the team members who were watching the show know his reluctance, and he swallowed back the gossip that was about to come out of his mouth.

How could the team members not understand?
Chen Huaiyang earned few work points a day, but he was generous with his money. Even if he didn't earn work points, he would not lack food. Anyone would want to order him around.

"Xiao Chen, the educated youth, is such a good comrade! You are selfless and you are truly an indispensable member of your educated youth camp."

"Go quickly, don't let the fever really cause you to get sick. Someone in our team had a fever and his brain became stupid."

"No one will gossip about you. If anyone dares to spread rumors, we will tear their mouths apart."

The women in the brigade are very strong in fighting. They usually eat a lot of the melon seeds that Chen Huaiyang brings. They will definitely be on his side this time.

"Okay, you guys are busy, I'll go over first."

After Chen Huaiyang fooled the man, he breathed a sigh of relief. He took the hot towel from Yang Xiaolin's forehead, wet it with water, wrung it dry, and then covered her forehead with it.

The team members driving the ox cart did not notice his action. The grown man did not have such delicate thoughts. Anyway, he could earn work points from this trip, so he did not mind the trouble.

After arriving at the health center, the person was sent in and had to receive an IV.

After hurriedly paying the money and hanging up the drip bottle, Chen Huaiyang breathed a sigh of relief. But it was not over yet. The doctor still instructed him to wipe the patient's neck and forehead.

Chen Huaiyang sighed, this was a difficult thing for him. He didn't want to take advantage of her while she was unconscious, but he had to do it. Finally, he slightly unbuttoned her clothes and wiped her with a wet towel.

It was not until the second bottle was hung that Yang Xiaolin regained consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw a white wall in front of her and realized that there was water hanging on her hand.

Yang Xiaolin's voice was a little hoarse, "What's wrong with me?"

Chen Huaiyang said, "You were too frightened yesterday, and you got caught in the rain. Plus, you were too tired during this period, so you had a high fever. Do you feel better now?"

Yang Xiaolin felt weak and limp all over, and didn't even have the strength to raise her hands. "I'm a little tired."

Chen Huaiyang nodded, "That's for sure. How can you not be tired if you work so hard?"

"Close your eyes and have a good rest!"

Yang Xiaolin looked at him, "Are you the only one who brought me here?"

Chen Huaiyang asked her, "What else? Who else do you want to take you? Who wouldn't be busy earning work points to care about you?"

Yang Xiaolin felt a little uncomfortable. When Lin Zhen was not feeling well, she stayed by her side and even used her own candy to make sugar water for her to drink.

She had a fever and was unconscious. I didn't see her by my side, and I felt a little depressed and uncomfortable.

After all, there were only two new female educated youth, and they should have helped each other. She had done her best, but the result seemed to be that she was too wishful thinking.

He felt frustrated and his face looked even worse.

"Will people talk about us going out alone, a man and a woman?" The rumors during this period could drive a person to death.

Chen Huaiyang shrugged. "I don't care about that. What's more important, life or reputation? Don't worry too much. Your health is more important at this moment."

"Don't always be so open with your heart. Not everyone can be as honest with others as you are."

"When you wake up, just take care of the medicine. I'll get you something to eat." You need to eat when you are sick, otherwise how can you get better?
Chen Huaiyang bought steamed buns and millet porridge. Yang Xiaolin didn't have much appetite, so she ate a little.

"I'll give you the money and tickets for the hospital stay when I get back."

"Thank you for sending me here this time."

Chen Huaiyang didn't care at all, he pulled up a chair and sat down, "If you really want to thank me, there will be plenty of opportunities after you recover from your illness."

Yang Xiaolin ignored the hidden meaning in his words and said, "I can't let you waste manpower and material resources. You still have to pay what you need."

Chen Huaiyang glanced at her and said, "Let's talk about it later!" It would be even better if she could compensate him with something else.

"You should sleep for a while. I will watch the potion for you."

Yang Xiaolin fell asleep again in a daze, and when she woke up again, she was awakened by the cold touch.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a strong hand reaching out to her neck. She was nervous for a moment and raised her hand to slap his hand away.

With a "pop" sound, both people on the field were stunned.

Chen Huaiyang rolled his eyes helplessly, "Little Yang, we can't be so ruthless, can we? You think I'm taking advantage of you! If I hadn't cooled you down, you would have died of fever."

Yang Xiaolin showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, "I was half asleep, your behavior is indeed suspicious."

"I don't have a fever anymore, so I don't need to wipe it off."

Chen Huaiyang shrugged, "That's even better, it saves me from being exhausted, not only not getting any advantage, but also being treated as a gangster by you!"

Yang Xiaolin glared at him, "Haven't you taken advantage of me enough?" He was always on top of her and even kissed her. Who dared to be so bold? He was really treated as a hooligan.

Chen Huaiyang coughed lightly. Who told him to carry the memory of his previous life? His words and deeds were indeed a bit wild, which was caused by the infection brought by different people at the same time.

I have never experienced the sweetness of love when I was a son-in-law. Later, when I talked about love, I had a purpose. There was no freshness like now.

Although those days were poor, the feelings were sincere.

While he was daydreaming, Yang Xiaolin pulled back the quilt. She was woken up by the urge to pee.

Chen Huaiyang said nervously, "What are you going to do? Although the medicine has been dripped, your body is still weak. It's best not to run around casually."

Yang Xiaolin's face flushed red, "I want to go to the bathroom."

Chen Huaiyang touched his nose awkwardly, and finally pointed her in a direction. There was only one public toilet in this place, so she had to go out and solve the problem.

"Do you want me to take you there? Don't faint in there."

Yang Xiaolin waved her hand and left in a hurry. It would be too embarrassing to continue talking.

"No, I'll go by myself."

It's already a cause of misunderstanding when gay men and women walk together, and if he's with them, all kinds of gossip will spread.

Only Yang Xiaolin didn't know that when the two of them came to the hospital together, others had already treated them as a couple.

When I returned to the ward, it was still early, just afternoon.

Yang Xiaolin asked: "Can I go back now?"

Chen Huaiyang shook his head. "It's better to stay in the hospital for another day, otherwise the fever will come back at night and we will have to go through all this again."
