Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 969: Accept the Request

After separating from Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, the captain went straight home.

The captain was really tired after running outside all day without stopping for a moment.

However, even though he was physically tired, the captain had a lot of things on his mind, and even though he lay in bed, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

There are really too many things to deal with, and they are so complicated that he needs to be very focused to be able to sleep soundly without distractions.

But it wasn't just the team leader. Except for those ignorant children, most of the people in the Red Star Production Team were tossing and turning tonight, not knowing what would be waiting for them in the future.

The next morning, the captain got up early, washed up, and left the house without eating breakfast.

Ge Dazhuang had been instructed yesterday to arrange militia members to set up checkpoints and stand guard at various locations early in the morning. He had to go and check the situation to see if the boy had done so.

After walking around the production team, the team leader saw that all the main entrances and exits were guarded, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"This kid is quite reliable and lived up to my trust in him."

The team leader found Ge Dazhuang, who was on guard and setting an example, and encouraged him with a few words. He also told him to go to the production team later to make a speech and set up the patrol team.

After getting Ge Dazhuang's promise, the team leader walked to the end of the village, intending to talk to Liu Jingxue.

Liu Jingxue, who had been developing drugs in the space until very late last night, was woken up by Tuanzi.

Upon learning that the captain was visiting, Liu Jingxue jumped up from the bed.

Get dressed as quickly as possible, and forget about washing your face, rinsing your mouth, etc.

The captain was waiting outside the gate and had no time to deal with her.

Liu Jingxue grabbed her hair, tied it into a ponytail, wiped away the eye boogers, put on a mask, left the space, and went to answer the door.

When the gate opened, the captain saw Liu Jingxue standing behind the gate with her hair not even tied up. He realized that he might have arrived a little early.

In those days, people only wore braids and buns, but there was no such thing as a ponytail.

No wonder the captain thought Liu Jingxue had just woken up and hadn’t even tied her hair up properly.

But now that he's already here and has seen everyone, the captain can't just go back and talk about it later.

He could only pretend that he didn't notice and quickly told the story.

When Liu Jingxue heard the team leader ask her whether she agreed to provide the formula of the medicine to the production team to suppress the illness of more people and wait for herself to develop the right medicine later, she agreed without saying a word.

I had already provided the formula of that medicine to the military pharmaceutical factory, so I didn't mind providing it to other people.

However, this matter still needs to be reported to the military pharmaceutical factory. After all, if this is made public, and someone uses this recipe to make medicine and sell it, wouldn't that be competing with them and stealing their business?

Liu Jingxue expressed her concerns and indicated that she would contact them. The captain immediately agreed and took the opportunity to state his other request.

After listening to the captain's explanation of why he did not hand in the formula himself, but wanted the soldiers who came last time to help deliver the formula here, Liu Jingxue, who had never been in officialdom, realized that the captain's arrangement was more appropriate.

Grandpa Zou had previously arranged for Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao to contact his second brother, hoping to contact Grandpa Zhang through his second brother and inform Grandpa Zhang about the epidemic to see if he could get some support.

In that case, wouldn’t it be better if I contact Grandpa Zhang directly instead of passing the message through my second brother?

Although Grandpa Zou did not say it explicitly before, Liu Jingxue understood that Grandpa Zou made such arrangements for her own safety.

Firstly, he didn't want to go out by himself, so as to avoid contact with infected people and spread the disease.

The second is to pass information through others to prevent someone from tracing them and finding them, increasing their risk of being exposed.

But now that the captain has made this request, she has no choice but to come in person.

If the news is not conveyed through my second brother, he will not know about it, and he won't have to worry about this side and won't be able to work with peace of mind.

"Captain, I agree to both of these things.

I'm going to the commune today and ask Secretary Yan to borrow his office phone number to contact them.

By the way, let’s see if we can talk to them and ask them to contact the local authorities or the military to see if we can get started earlier to confirm and control the epidemic.”

The captain was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly said, "Xiaoxue, let's go together later.

I was planning to go to the commune to report the epidemic to Secretary Yan.

I thought about telling him and asking him to report it to the town."

When Liu Jingxue heard this, she thought that he was worthy of being the team leader, he was highly conscious and had no intention of covering up this matter.

Thinking about the letters I left at the town government the day before yesterday, I wondered if they took them seriously and sent someone to investigate.

It would be bad if they didn't take it seriously.

Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but frown.

"Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing also planned to call their families and tell them about the epidemic.

Their family members all hold high positions. I think after receiving the news, whether for the safety of Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing or out of concern for the people, they will contact this side and put pressure on them to pay attention.

In addition to the people you contacted, Xiaoxue, there is also the information reported by Secretary Yan.

With the combined efforts of several parties, I think the town leaders dare not ignore this matter."

Hearing the captain say this, Liu Jingxue's brows couldn't help but relax.

Yes, if the leaders in the town don’t take it seriously, and if the epidemic spreads, they will lose their official positions.

“I had already consulted my aunt yesterday, asked her about the symptoms of this disease, and discussed with her how to treat it.

I started developing new drugs yesterday, and I will try to develop a cure as soon as possible."

The matter was settled, and the captain prepared to leave.

Knowing that they had just woken up and had not yet gotten ready, the captain sensibly did not suggest setting off right away.

"Xiaoxue, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go find Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing and tell them that we'll leave for the commune in the morning.

When you are ready, ask Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing to come to my house or the brigade headquarters to find me. "

After Liu Jingxue agreed, the captain felt relieved and walked away with big strides.

His steps were much more cheerful than when he came here.

By the time Liu Jingxue had taken care of herself and finished her breakfast, almost forty minutes had passed and it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning.

One can imagine how early the captain arrived.

When she rode her bicycle to find Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, they were already ready and waiting for her there.

Since she was planning to contact Grandpa Zhang directly and they didn't need to call their second brother, Liu Jingxue naturally told them not to call their second brother.

The three of them pushed their bicycles and walked towards the captain's house. Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Mingxuan lowered his voice and said,

“Xiaoxue, we don’t plan to come back with the captain later, we have to go to town.

I ordered a batch of medical masks and gloves from someone earlier and went to pick them up today.

I'm a little worried that the captain won't let go."

The number of masks and gloves they brought back last time was a bit small, so they were all left to Wang Xiulan.

But even so, Wang Xiulan is in contact with patients every day, and her energy is consumed quickly, so she can't last for a few days.

Definitely need to get some more back.

"Then I will tell the captain to help get some masks for my aunt.

I think since my aunt is treating the villagers, he won’t refuse her because she is in urgent need.”

"But you two must be careful not to get infected," Liu Jingxue warned.

"Don't worry about that. We will come back after getting the things. We won't stay in the town."
