Just then, the Production Team Leader came over. "What's going on here?"
Xue Linfang hurried to take the initiative. "Team Leader, I'm returning to work starting today. Chu Zhiqing mentioned earlier that you also had her fill in temporarily. Now that Doctor Gong is returning to the village and I'm starting work, she should step down now that her work is done. I figured the village health clinic doesn't see many patients on a typical day, so I thought villagers needing medical attention could see Doctor Gong at his home. I can just work a bit harder when needed. If Chu Zhiqing works in the fields, the production team will gain another laborer, and we won't be wasting work points."
Xue Linfang had been able to study under Doctor Gong only because her Third Sister-in-law, Xu Hongzao, was Xu Wenchang's niece; otherwise, it wouldn't have been her turn.
