Chapter 24: Clearly experienced.

Lu Ye asked Bai Zhi to start formal treatment for him tomorrow, but Bai Zhi did not give him a direct answer.

"Company Commander Lu, you should rest now, I'm leaving."

Bai Zhi picked up her cloth bag, turned around, and went out.

Lu Zheng'an hurriedly said, "Xiao Zhi, have your aunt take you home."

Xie Yun followed, and her attitude towards Bai Zhi was much gentler than before.

On the way back, Bai Zhi told her that she was going to move out.

Xie Yun said, "Xiao Zhi, why are you moving out? Even if you work outside, it's very convenient to live at home, and it's not far from the Chinese medicine shop."

"Auntie, I won't trouble everyone any further."

"It's nothing to trouble you with." Xie Yun thought of something and said apologetically, "What happened this morning was indeed wrong of your uncle and Lu Shan. They shouldn't have gone to the Chinese medicine shop to find you. I hope you won't hold it against us."

Bai Zhi smiled, "Auntie, I didn't mind. Your thoughts are correct; if I were in your shoes, I would have reacted the same way."

"Since you don't care, then you should stay at home obediently. If you move out, your Grandpa Lu will be very sad."

Xie Yun looked haggard and explained repeatedly, "As you can see, it's not that we're neglecting you, but Lu Ye's condition is so serious that we really can't take care of anything else. Please understand."

“Auntie, I understand. I know that you and Uncle are exhausted because of Company Commander Lu’s matter, and I don’t want to cause any more trouble for everyone.”

"No trouble at all," Xie Yun suggested. "How about this, I'll buy you a bicycle later, so it will be more convenient for you to get to and from get off work. You absolutely must not mention moving out again."

Xie Yun tried her best to persuade Bai Zhi to stay, which put Bai Zhi in a difficult position.

When Bai Zhi and Xie Yun returned home, Grandpa Lu was still sitting on the sofa.

"Xiao Zhi, where did you go?"

Grandpa Lu had just rested in the room for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep too early, so he asked Zhang Ma to call Bai Zhi so he could have a chat with her.

He wanted to persuade Bai Zhi to stay and not move away for the time being.

He was really worried about her moving out alone, being a girl.

As a result, when Zhang Ma opened the door, she found that Bai Zhi was not there.

Old Master Lu thought Bai Zhi had secretly left alone, and his heart was heavy.

He originally intended to call the guards in to go to the traditional Chinese medicine shop to find someone.

Zhang Lei hasn't arrived yet, but Bai Zhi and Xie Yun have come back together.

Bai Zhi explained, "Grandpa Lu, I was too hot to sleep, so I went for a walk. I happened to run into my aunt, so we came back together."

Old Master Lu hummed in agreement, then looked at Xie Yun, his voice heavy, "Xiao Yun, Xiao Zhi is moving out, are you aware of that?"

"This child has been with us for the past few days, and none of you have shown up. Aren't you going too far?"

Faced with the old man's questioning, Xie Yun lowered her eyes and humbly accepted the criticism.

She explained, "Dad, I just told Xiaozhi that we've been too busy lately, and it wasn't intentional. We don't want her to move out. I discussed with Zheng'an about buying her a bicycle so it will be more convenient for her to commute to get off work."

Xie Yun's words softened Old Master Lu's expression somewhat.

That's more like it.

He looked at Bai Zhi, his expression shifting to a kind smile.

"Xiaozhi, since your aunt has said so, just stay here and don't think about moving away."

Bai Zhi hesitated, "Grandpa Lu, I've already spoken with our boss, and the house has been vacated."

“Child, we are really worried about you living alone outside. Be a good boy/girl, go to work during the day and come back to live here after get off work. We have so many rooms, we won’t miss you. This will be your home from now on, so you have to get used to it.”

Old Master Lu spoke sincerely, showing his genuine love for Bai Zhi and concern for her safety. “Your uncle and aunt are both quite serious and busy with work. You may have misunderstood their attitude towards you and are not used to their way of treating people. You will understand after a while; they are all very nice people.”

Since Old Master Lu had already said so much, Bai Zhi felt that if she insisted any further, she would be being ungrateful.

She could only compromise, "Okay, I'll stay here for now, and we'll talk about it again when I find a suitable place."

"Why look for a house? We'll just stay here."

Bai Zhi did not continue the discussion on this topic with Elder Lu.

She had originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to the old man about his health today.

Unfortunately, she went to the hospital at the last minute and didn't have time.

Since we're not moving, we'll have to find another opportunity to examine the elderly person's pulse later.

"Alright, go and rest."

With Bai Zhi staying for the time being, Xie Yun felt at ease.

Right now, their son really needs Bai Zhi's treatment.

Xie Yun still feels lingering fear when she thinks about the harrowing experience of today.

If Bai Zhi hadn't arrived in time, they dared not imagine the consequences.

......

Bai Zhi went to work early the next day as usual.

Dr. Zhou arrived right on time today.

Bai Zhi had just finished cleaning when

Gu Jingming, Yang Li, and Old Master Gu brought Niu Niu over for treatment.

"Niu Niu is here?"

Seeing the sullen child being led by Yang Li, Bai Zhi smiled and asked, "Niu Niu, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Yang Li looked worried and her eyes were full of heartache. "This child is most afraid of injections. She has been scared since this morning when she heard that she was going to get a shot."

They went through a lot of trouble to persuade the child to come.

Yesterday, when the child was getting the injection, he was having convulsions. Now that he is awake, he is psychologically afraid and resistant to the idea of ​​getting another injection.

Yang Li sighed, "This child has suffered so much since he got sick. He's had injections in his buttocks and IV drips non-stop. His buttocks are still so painful that he can't sit up, and the back of his hands are too. His veins are thin, so it often takes several attempts to get the needle in."

As Yang Li spoke, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

Gu Jingming and Old Master Gu also looked distressed and helpless.

To be honest, Gu Jingming had almost given up on the idea of ​​giving his daughter a shot this morning because she was so afraid of needles; he couldn't bear to see her suffer.

He had seen patients treated with acupuncture, who were riddled with needles.

Even as a man, he was quite frightened by that scene.

Let alone a five-year-old child.

My child is terrified of injections; how can she accept so many needles?

Bai Zhi squatted down, patted her head, and said with a smile, "Niu Niu, we won't give you any injections."

Niu Niu opened her big, watery eyes and said, "But my mom said she's going to give me acupuncture treatment."

"Your mother must have misheard. Auntie used magic."

"Really? Aunt Xiaobai, you have magic? Like the kind of magic you see on TV?"

“Yes.” Bai Zhi looked at Niu Niu mysteriously, “But you can’t watch this magic. You have to close your eyes when I cast the spell, otherwise it won’t work.”

"Does it hurt?" Niu Niu asked, tilting her head back.

"It won't hurt, but when the magic takes effect, there will be a slight feeling of heaviness, just like a mosquito bite. It's not a big problem. My brave little girl, Niu Niu, will definitely be able to handle it."

Bai Zhi pulled a White Rabbit milk candy from her pocket. "Look what this is!"

"Wow, candy!" Niu Niu's eyes sparkled as she looked at the candy in Bai Zhi's hand, then she looked pitifully at Yang Li, seeking her mother's opinion with her eyes.

My mom doesn't let her eat sweets because it will ruin her teeth.

At this time of day, Yang Li naturally nodded to indicate that she should take it.

Niu Niu happily accepted the candy and said thank you.

"When Auntie is performing the spell, you should keep the candy in your mouth, close your eyes, and wait until you finish the candy. The spell will then be basically over."

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and then suggested, "You can also have your mother tell you stories."

“I want Grandpa to tell the story,” Niu Niu said. “I want Grandpa to tell the story of him building the railway.”

Grandpa Gu nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Okay, okay, Grandpa will tell you."

Niu Niu had already started cooperating, and Bai Zhi smiled, "Then Auntie will go wash her hands."

Gu Jingming and Yang Li, who had been frowning, relaxed when they saw how easily Bai Zhi had her daughter under her control.

I also completely believed her when she said yesterday that she had seen many epilepsy patients.

She's so good at comforting kids; she's obviously experienced.

Dr. Zhou, watching from the side, also had a strange expression on his face.

To be honest, he lacks that patience and that strategy.
