Chapter 516: Saving the Child

Ye Qingbai stood up to speak for Bai Zhi, and Liu Guifang smiled and said, "I know, Xiao Bai told me that she is learning traditional Chinese medicine from her family and can earn some money."

Bai Zhi said modestly, "We still need our family's help. If it were just the two of us, we wouldn't even be able to watch a black and white TV."

Wang Yumei also came over.

"Yes, my family's big color TV was bought for me by my parents' family."

She observed the large appliances the Lu family had delivered today; they were even bigger than the ones she had received before, and the refrigerator was a new model.

She said to Bai Zhi, "You must have bought this with the help of Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's family, right?"

Bai Zhi glanced at her and said indifferently, "My parents-in-law are both working-class people with low wages. They can't help me much."

If she admits that Lu Ye's family helped her, this woman will seize on it again.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Wang Yumei glanced at her sideways, wondering what she meant.

If Lu Ye's family can't help, could it be that her family isn't providing enough support?

Is this Angelica dahurica really from the countryside, as the legend says?

Was their marriage arranged?

How come they look so harmonious and loving?

To be honest, the commotion they made last night was truly enviable.

"We're going to install a color TV. Come out and hang out if you're free!"

This color TV has both indoor and outdoor antennas.

Lu Ye and Ye Qingbai carried the television out of the box and placed it on the table, first using the indoor antenna to search for channels.

Lu Ye said, "If we can't get a signal, we'll take the antenna to the rooftop later, and we'll definitely be able to receive a signal then."

"Let's give it a try."

Fortunately, the indoor antenna worked quite well. After rotating it to the correct position, I was able to find several TV stations that I usually see.

As the antenna rotated, the snow on the screen gradually decreased, and the picture became clearer.

Bai Zhi was afraid that if she kept turning the screen, she would lose the channel, so she said, "This is fine, as long as we can watch the Spring Festival Gala."

To be honest, local TV stations don't have many good programs.

In this era, the only variety shows were on CCTV. As long as you could receive that channel, everything was fine.

"Okay, then let's do it this way."

Then they moved the refrigerator and washing machine to their positions.

With three major home appliances brought into the house, the already cramped space felt even more cramped.

But it feels more like home now.

Bai Zhi plugged in the refrigerator and then stuffed the remaining vegetables and half a bowl of meat she had cooked into it.

Looking at his cousin and brother-in-law's cozy little home, Ye Qingbai couldn't help but feel envious.

Coming home from get off work to a comfortable little nest, with my beloved woman and a hot meal, is much happier than sleeping in a dorm with a bunch of guys and bragging.

Bai Zhi seemed to see the thoughts in Ye Qingbai's eyes, and she smiled and tried to persuade him to stay, "Cousin, why don't you stay here tonight? The second bedroom is empty."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingbai put his hands in his pockets and said with an arrogant expression, "I'm not staying here. I have things to do tonight, so I don't have time to stay here."

He glanced at the couple and said, "Besides, who wants to be a third wheel here?"

Lu Ye, his face dark, told him to go back.

"I was planning to leave anyway, and come back on New Year's Eve."

Ye Qingbai was indeed a third wheel. As soon as he stepped out, Lu Ye couldn't wait to close the door and then kissed him.

Bai Zhi quickly dodged away, saying, "Don't be silly in broad daylight."

He put his arm around her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered in a low, husky voice, "What's wrong with it during the day? It's legal and compliant, we can kiss anytime, anywhere."

"You can kiss anytime, anywhere?" Bai Zhi looked at him seriously. "Come on, let's kiss in your military camp?"

Lu Ye, "........."

But he definitely wouldn't give up until he got a kiss; he'd been holding back all day.

Whenever I see my wife's fair and delicate face, I want to kiss it.

"Just one kiss." He didn't care about anything else, using his height and physical advantage to pull the person into his arms.

They kissed.

Bai Zhi couldn't push him away and could only passively accept it.

She then wrapped her arm around his strong waist.

Her initiative greatly encouraged him; the man's breathing became heavy, and he made a move to lead her into the bedroom.

Bai Zhi was also driven mad by the man's kisses, and her emotions ran high, so she cooperated with him and became even bolder.

Just as the two figures, embracing and hugging, were about to close the bedroom door, a woman's scream came from outside.

Bai Zhi's mind cleared instantly. "Listen, what's going on outside?"

Lu Ye also hurriedly released Bai Zhi and then opened the door to check the situation.

Downstairs, Liu Guifang was seen holding a little boy in her arms, shouting anxiously.

"Sister Liu, what's wrong?" Lu Ye called out.

"Political Commissar Zhang's child has fallen ill."

Liu Guifang shouted anxiously, "Political Commissar Zhang went to his unit and asked me to help watch the child for a while. Who knew that when the child was playing with my son just now, he suddenly started crying because of watching TV, bumped into something, and then passed out."

"Sister Liu, don't worry, we'll take the child to the hospital right away."

Bai Zhi and Lu Ye ran downstairs, and many neighbors gathered around to watch.

The neighbors in the family compound were well aware of the situation of Political Commissar Zhang's son.

Commissar Zhang is a single father who raises his sick son alone, which is truly not easy.

Normally, the child is at kindergarten, but now that it's winter break, he has to leave the child at home or ask a neighbor to look after him while he's at work.

Because of the child's special circumstances, to be honest, many neighbors, although kind-hearted, were also afraid of not being able to take good care of the child.

Liu Guifang was a kind-hearted person, and since she had a son, she would often have her son bring Zhang Zhengwei's son to her house during the winter vacation.

"There's no time to get him to the hospital; we need to wake him up first. It's very dangerous if he keeps convulsing like this."

Bai Zhi quickly stepped forward to check the situation and helped Liu Guifang put the child down. "Sister Liu, quickly lay the child flat and loosen the collar."

Liu Guifang was already terrified. Hearing Bai Zhi's words, she mechanically cooperated with her, "Xiao Bai, you can see?"

"I'm a doctor, please listen to me."

She then instructed Lu Ye, "Go to the house and get my first-aid kit quickly."

Lu Ye didn't hesitate and quickly went upstairs.

After Bai Zhi laid the child flat, she began pinching the philtrum and observing the eyeballs.

After Lu Ye brought down the medical kit, she quickly took out the silver needles, casually dipped them in alcohol, and began acupuncture.

"Xiaobai, are you sure? This isn't my child, I can't take responsibility for it."

Liu Guifang was almost in tears.

If anything were to happen to this child while she was in his care, how could she explain it to Political Commissar Zhang?

"rest assured."

After pinching the philtrum and checking the pupils, Bai Zhi inserted needles into the boy's head and the back of his neck.

At this moment, the neighbors heard the commotion and came over to watch.

Watching Bai Zhi treat the child in the yard.

Everyone held their breath in tension, observing the child's condition.

Everyone is well aware of how important the son is to Political Commissar Zhang.

This is the child of a martyr.

There is no room for error.

Looking at the child whose head and neck were covered with silver needles.

Everyone was worried for the child.

At the same time, I was also worried for Bai Zhi.

The child should have been taken to the hospital as soon as he fell ill.

Lu Ye's young wife, a newcomer, was naive and eager to show off. Lu Ye didn't seem to know how to keep her in check.

What if...?

The neighbors all looked grave, afraid to think any further.
