Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 114 Meeting Li Li on the Street

After the meeting, Zhu Changzhi and Gu Zhan met with Han Yong, director of the agricultural machinery factory, and Wu Xiaopeng, director of the foundry, who were waiting in the office.

The agricultural machinery factory has now started making samples. Han Yong and Wu Xiaopeng still have some questions that Gu Zhan needs to answer regarding the drawings provided by him.

"Director Zhu, Comrade Xiao Gu." Han Yong stood up and greeted them when he saw the two of them come in.

"Sit down, everyone sit down."

After Zhu Changzhi asked everyone to sit down, Han Yong took out several drawings drawn by Gu Zhan from his briefcase and discussed them further with Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan carefully explained the key points to the two of them, and Han Yong suddenly realized: "So there is such a solution. Wonderful, truly wonderful. Comrade Gu, you are truly amazing."

"Not worth mentioning." Gu Zhan said to everyone with a smile.

Han Yong, however, didn't think it was worth mentioning. While the principles behind machinery might seem similar, a slight difference in these parameters could lead to a significant difference in the results.

Gu Zhan rejected Zhu Changzhi's invitation to dinner and said frankly that he brought his wife to the county town this time and could go to the hospital in the afternoon. Zhu Changzhi had to give up.

After returning to the guesthouse and having lunch with Liu Xiaoxi, Gu Zhan took Liu Xiaoxi to the hospital.

It was the same middle-aged female doctor from last time. The doctor was still very impressed with Gu Zhan. In this era, it was rare to see a man who would take the initiative to take his pregnant wife for a check-up in a small county town.

"Doctor, please."

The doctor smiled and nodded, and began to measure Liu Xiaoxi's blood pressure. At this time, Gu Zhan was normal, but when the doctor listened to the fetal heartbeat, Gu Zhan's heart shrank tightly.

"Come, let's lie down in this position and let me listen."

The doctor's voice came in a gentle tone, but to Gu Zhan's ears, it sounded like a devil's voice, constantly provoking his nerves.

The events of his previous life kept appearing in his mind. He could vaguely see his daughter’s purple lips and her crying voice as weak as a kitten... Everything that happened later in his previous life haunted him like a curse.

A panicked voice kept echoing in his mind: "Why change positions? Why can't we get results in one try? Is the child abnormal?"

In a trance, Gu Zhan felt that his world was all white and he couldn't see anything.

It was not until Liu Xiaoxi finished listening to the fetal heartbeat and tidied her clothes that she noticed something was wrong with Gu Zhan.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaoxi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Gu Zhan a few times before he came to his senses.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Gu Zhan's pale face, Liu Xiaoxi was a little worried.

Gu Zhan came back to his senses and saw Liu Xiaoxi standing in front of him, looking at him nervously. He asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Liu Xiaoxi said blankly: "I see that you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Zhan forced a smile and said, "Wife, I'm fine."

The doctor beside them was both angry and amused by the two of them being so affectionate. He said unhappily, "Young man, you were so nervous last time. Why are you still so nervous now?"

After a pause, the middle-aged female doctor continued, "You can't be so nervous. It will make your wife nervous too. Relax, the baby is developing well."

Hearing the female doctor say "very good", Gu Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor then reminded: "I see that the fetus is developing well, and your wife is well-nourished. Don't give her too much nutrition later. If the fetus is too large, it will be difficult to deliver. Also, you should move around more often."

"Ok."

Gu Zhan's face finally began to turn red.

When they walked out of the hospital gate, Liu Xiaoxi asked Gu Zhan with some concern: "Are you really okay?"

"It's okay, wife, I was just a little nervous just now."

Liu Xiaoxi was at a loss for words. She herself, who was giving birth, was not very nervous, but the father of the child was extremely nervous. Then, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart.

When Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi came out of the hospital and walked towards the guesthouse, they happened to meet Li Li who had just finished shopping on the street.

"Comrade Gu Zhan, what a coincidence."

Li Li took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

Originally, she wanted to invite Gu Zhan to dinner when the meeting ended, but he was called away by Director Zhu. Now she finally met him again, but he brought his wife with him.

Every word and every action that Gu Zhan said at the meeting today was deeply imprinted in her mind, constantly touching the string of love in her heart.

She had an impulse for a moment, wanting to rush to Gu Zhan and hug him tightly.

"Hello!" Gu Zhan greeted Li Li coldly.

Li Li choked on the greeting that was on the tip of her tongue and couldn't say it out loud.

But she felt unwilling to give in, so she changed the subject and said, "Comrade Gu Zhan, I'd like to ask you about the specifics of intercropping corn and soybeans. Is that convenient for you?"

Gu Zhan knew what Li Li was thinking. He had already learned the method of intercropping soybeans and corn when Li Li came to Shanghe Village. Seeing that she was curious about this, Zhao Baogen had already taught her everything. Now he brought this up again, and Gu Zhan felt annoyed for no reason.

He said to Li Li with a cold face, "Technician Li, Captain Zhao has already taught you everything you mentioned. There's nothing more to teach you. If you want to go deeper, you can only continue to explore through practice."

Gu Zhan's words were quite impolite, which was equivalent to telling Li Li, "Don't make excuses to get close to me anymore."

But Li Li was not afraid at all, and continued boldly: "Comrade Gu Zhan, I would like to invite you and your wife to dinner. I wonder if you would be so kind as to do me the honor?"

"Sorry, not available."

After saying that, Gu Zhan directly pulled Liu Xiaoxi away, not caring about Li Li behind them at all.

After walking a few steps, Liu Xiaoxi gently tugged at Gu Zhan's sleeve and said, "Isn't it too rude for us to treat her like this?"

"It's okay. She can do something like harassing a married man, which shows that face is not very important to her."

Liu Xiaoxi was so upset that she could not even cry.

Li Li, who was standing there, saw the two of them walking away talking and laughing, and she stomped her feet in anger.

"Hey, isn't this an old classmate? Why are you here?"

Gu Jun put his hands in his pockets and walked in front of Li Li. He looked at her cheeks that were red with anger and continued, "What? No one paid attention to you?"

The news that Li Li went to pursue Gu Zhan was rumored in the village some time ago, and I also heard some of it from others.

At first he thought it was just hearsay, but looking at it today, it seems to be somewhat credible.

"What's wrong? Didn't the romantic guy pay attention to you?" Gu Jun said in a vulgar tone.

Li Li glared at Gu Jun and said unhappily, "What do you care?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, why are you so fierce?" Gu Jun stared into Li Li's eyes and said flirtatiously.

Li Li was quite pretty, especially among her classmates who looked quite unfashionable in high school. Plus, her father was a director of the commune, so the boys in her class flocked to her, including Gu Jun.

"Go away!"

Li Li pushed away Gu Jun who was blocking her way and left with a twist of her waist.

Gu Jun looked at the beautiful woman's back as she walked away, his face shining with brilliance.
