Chu Qingzhi set up the clinic in the front hall, where it was more spacious.

The injured soldiers, after having their breakfast, immediately began receiving medical attention. Coming all the way from the border without timely treatment, some of them had wounds that had festered and rotted away. It’s a testament to the resilience of these battle-hardened men, as others could hardly endure such severe injuries.

After the examination, Chu Qingzhi categorized the injuries of the soldiers: simple fractures, external injuries with fractures, and amputations.

They treated what they could, arranged surgeries for those that needed them, and dealt with the amputations last.

There were seven individuals who required surgery, which was quite a few. They still had plenty of medical supplies left from when they operated on Yan Yixian, so they could proceed with the surgeries immediately.

After attending to everyone, it was past noon. Chu Qingzhi had promised to have a meal at Li Changjiang’s house, so she arranged for the surgeries to take place in the afternoon.

Leaving the less urgent matters to her two apprentices, Chu Qingzhi left the residence and headed towards the town to buy a gift for Li Yunqing.

Tan’s Pastry Shop.

An employee stepped out of the pastry shop, announcing loudly, “Our shop has launched a new flavor, taro pie, fragrant and delicious. Welcome everyone to try and buy.”

Tan’s Pastry Shop’s business had been booming for the past few months, gradually becoming the top pastry shop in the area.

At that moment, a small sedan stopped nearby.

The sedan curtain was slightly lifted, and the lady inside gave a few instructions to her maid, who then hurried towards Tan’s Pastry Shop. “Shopkeeper, please give me three taro pies.” Their young miss loved the pastries from Tan’s Pastry Shop the most. Not only were they delicious, but they were also fresh. She had to have them every day.

“Alright, miss, just a moment.”

The maid took the three taro pies back to the sedan and handed them to her young miss.

The lady in the sedan placed the taro pies on her lap, savored the aroma, and, unable to resist the temptation, began to eat even though she initially planned to save them for later. “This is so delicious.”

The sedan gradually moved away.

Not long after they left, many more maids and young servants came to the shop to buy taro pies. In no time, a hundred taro pies were sold out.

The shopkeeper couldn’t help but marvel, noting that the goods they got from

Chu’s Easy Trade never piled up. It was truly impressive.

Chu Qingzhi, after observing the situation, decided to enter Tan’s Pastry Shop.

The shop was crowded.

Their pastries were placed in the most conspicuous positions. Several spots were empty, and the remaining ones were few, likely to be sold out by the afternoon.

Chu Qingzhi went to the apple pie section, where only two pies were left. “Please pack these two apple pies for me, and also weigh two pounds of cloud cakes and two pounds of snowflake crisp.”

The shop assistant promptly responded, “Just a moment, miss. I’ll weigh them for you right away.”

After paying, Chu Qingzhi carried her purchases to a jewelry shop, bought a. small silver hairpin suitable for a young girl, and then headed straight to Li’s house.

At the Li family.

Li Yunqing was waiting at the alley entrance with a little puppy, looking toward to Chu Qingzhi’s visit.

Her father had told her that Sister Qingzhi would come over for a meal today, and she had been excited since she woke up.

Li Yunqing looked forward eagerly, and after a while, she squatted down and patted the puppy’s head. “When do you think Sister Qingzhi will arrive?” “Woof, woof, woof…” The puppy responded.

Li Yunqing gently tugged the puppy’s ear, warning, “When Sister Qingzhi arrives, you mustn’t bark. If you scare her, I’ll punish you.”

The puppy sat down, its ears drooping, ignoring Li Yunqing.

Seeing the puppy seemingly upset, Li Yunqing quickly tried to appease it, and the two enjoyed their time together.

In this joyous atmosphere, a beautiful voice came through, “Yunqing.” Li Yunqing looked over in surprise and joy, then abandoned the little puppy to run towards Chu Qingzhi, “Sister Qingzhi, you’re finally here.” Chu Qingzhi showed a hint of a smile, “Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Li Yunqing hurriedly replied, “As long as Sister Qingzhi is here, I don’t mind waiting a bit longer.”

“Let’s go home first.”

“Yeah.”

The two walked ahead, with the little puppy trotting behind them on its short legs, all the way home.

Li Yunqing called out, “Mother, Sister Qingzhi is here.

Madam Li came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands, and said nervously,

“Miss, please have a seat. I’ll make you some tea right away.” Chu Qingzhi handed over some pastries to Madam Li, “I bought these for Yunqing.”

Madam Li was overjoyed, taking the items with both hands, “Thank you, Miss.

Please, have a seat.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “No need to be polite, Aunt. Go ahead with your work;

Yunqing’s company is enough for me.”

After putting the items in the room, Madam Li hurried back to make tea, “Make sure to accompany Sister Qingzhi well, I’ll go cook.”

Li Yunqing was more than happy to spend time with Chu Qingzhi, “Got it, Mother. Go ahead with your work.”

Chu Qingzhi sat down and took out a small silver hairpin, offering it to Li Yunqing, “Do you like it?”

Li Yunqing, seeing the delicate and shining hairpin, liked it very much but felt it was too precious and didn’t reach out to take it, “Sister Qingzhi, the snacks you bought me are already very nice. I don’t need this.”

Chu Qingzhi pulled Li Yunqing over, pinned the hairpin inher hair, “It looks very beautiful on you.”

Li Yunqing reached out and touched it, loving it. “I’ll go look in the mirror.

“Go on.”

After looking in the mirror, Li Yunqing ran to the kitchen, excitedly said, “Mother, look at the hairpin Sister Qingzhi gave me. Isn’t it pretty?” Madam Li was startled by the hairpin and quickly took it off, “Yunqing, Sister has already spent enough buying you so many gifts. You can’t accept this.” Li Yunqing reluctantly looked at it but decided to listen to her mother, “Mother, then let’s return it to Sister.”

Madam Li took Li Yunqing with her to return the hairpin to Chu Qingzhi, “Miss…”

She was interrupted by Chu Qingzhi before she could finish, “Master Li has helped me so much, a silver hairpin is nothing. If you like it, just wear it. It looks good on you.”

Saying so, she put the hairpin back on Li Yunqing’s head.

“Thank you, Miss.” Madam Li no longer refused, secretly deciding to remind Li Changjiang to work harder in return for Chu Qingzhi’s kindness, for such a generous employer was rare to find.

The little puppy ran over, squatting in front of Chu Qingzhi, looking up at her. Chu Qingzhi petted the puppy’s head, “You’re quite cute.

Li Yunqing said, “I picked it up from the street. When I found it, its eyes couldn’t even open. Now it has grown a lot.”

Chu Qingzhi poked the puppy’s forehead with her finger, “Then you’re quite fortunate.”

Li Changjiang returned. When he saw Chu Qingzhi, he hurriedly quickened his pace. “Miss.”

“Dad, you’re back.” Li Yunqing called out happily, then told her father about the silver hairpin Chu Qingzhi gave her.

Li Changjiang, who knew Chu Qingzhi better, did not ask his daughter to return the hairpin but thanked her sincerely.
