Chapter 253 Being Treated Warmly

At that time, everyone was gathered around the door of the infirmary, looking on expectantly.

Dr. Du quickly put on his white coat and plastic gloves.

She is young, but very beautiful.

Her expression was calm, but her gaze was exceptionally resolute.

The previously panicked crowd instantly quieted down upon her arrival.

Everyone looked at her with great anticipation, their eyes shining brightly.

Some of them were still resentful at the time.

Because they felt that this so-called Dr. Du looked intimidating, but was actually just a young girl.

It's rather ridiculous that the army medics placed the hopes and heavy responsibilities of the veterans on her shoulders.

But their idea was quickly shattered.

Dr. Du saved a critically ill patient with remarkable speed.

She acted swiftly and steadily; situations that even the old doctor couldn't handle were no problem for her at all.

Before they could even react, Du Ruoxia ordered her men to bring up the second patient.

It was precisely because of her speed and accuracy that she instantly stabilized the morale of the troops.

The military doctors, who had been in a panic just moments before, calmed down instantly.

Under Dr. Du's direction, they quickly took their positions and handled the following matters in an orderly manner.

Du Ruoxia was their pillar of support; Dr. Du's presence gave them immense courage and confidence.

It seems that as long as Dr. Du is there, they can always move forward with determination.

That's why everyone remembers Du Ruoxia so well.

What would have happened to these soldiers if she hadn't been there? Would they have had a future?

It was precisely because of their fear of the future that they realized just how capable Dr. Du truly was.

Such a capable doctor as Dr. Du is just a young girl, which makes them even more memorable.

Everyone kept her in their hearts, and even after so much time has passed, they still can't forget her.

That's why Du Ruoxia caused such a sensation as soon as she appeared at the market today.

Many of these people know her, and those who don't will learn about her again through other people's explanations.

So many people promoted her for free that she became a celebrity without doing any promotion at all.

Du Ruoxia is a low-key person and is not used to such closeness.

She was overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiasm.

There was even a pork vendor who offered to sell her pork at a low price, saying he'd even give it away for free.

Du Ruoxia had never been treated so warmly in her entire life.

She quickly took a few steps back; she didn't really want to buy pork anymore.

"Can't you do business properly? If you keep this up, I'm leaving."

The crowd quickly stopped her and made way for her.

"Don't go, don't go, please let us go, okay?"

"Buy whatever you want without worrying about us."

"If even Dr. Du can't buy anything, then we'll be in big trouble."

Everyone obediently moved aside, which made Du Ruoxia even more uncomfortable.

In order to finish shopping and leave quickly, Du Ruoxia casually asked about the price.

"Boss, how much is the pork?"

"One yuan per pound, take as much as you want."

The boss was very enthusiastic, and now it was Du Ruoxia's turn to be shocked.

This wasn't her first time buying pork, so she roughly knew the basic price of pork.

These days, pork costs at least 1.8 yuan per jin (500g), but the vendor sold it to her for just one yuan. That's ridiculously cheap.

"Boss, you're not kidding, are you? Pork is really that cheap?"

Everyone else held their breath, seemingly very surprised, but no one spoke up.

They all wanted to get a lower price, but they were all afraid of scaring Du Ruoxia away.

So they suppressed their hopes and just watched longingly without saying a word.

"I wouldn't sell it to anyone else for this price, but this price is fine with you!"

"You are my son's savior, and you are different from others in my eyes!"

“My family raises several pigs, but I only have one precious son. If something happens to my son, my life will be over.”

"You saved my son's life, which is the same as saving my life!"

"You are my son's savior, and also my savior!"

The butcher was very eloquent; he managed to entangle Du Ruoxia in just a few words.

It seems that selling the pork to him at this price is perfectly reasonable; it wouldn't be acceptable if it were sold at a higher price.

This was the first time in Du Ruoxia's life that she had ever seen a boss who was trying to find ways to lower prices for customers.

The key point is that she's buying a lot of pork this time, and she feels a bit embarrassed to take advantage of others so much.

"Boss, I was planning to buy 50 jin of pork. Are you really going to sell it to me at such a low price? Won't you lose a fortune?"

Du Ruoxia was telling the truth, and the pork vendor's face immediately darkened.

If you buy a pound or two of meat, you'll only lose a dollar or so, which is no big deal. You can still be a good person and leave a good reputation in front of others.

Now Dr. Du wants to buy 50 jin of pork directly, and he will lose a lot of money.

Seeing his pained expression, Du Ruoxia immediately changed the subject.

"How about this, I'll buy 50 jin of pork, just give me the wholesale price, how about 1.5 yuan per jin?"

The wholesale price of pork is indeed that high; Du Ruoxia's request didn't take advantage of him at all.

The boss was about to refuse when Du Ruoxia continued.

"There are still so many people waiting to buy meat, boss, please hurry up."

The boss looked at everyone, who seemed a bit anxious. He didn't dare to delay any longer, so he cut off 50 jin of meat, weighed it, and placed it on the counter.

Du Ruoxia readily gave 75 yuan.

Du Ruoxia washed the fresh pork she bought today, sliced ​​it into thin slices, and laid them out under the eaves to dry. Once dried, they would be ready-made jerky.

Du Ruoxia has a lot of preparation work to do since she bought a lot of pork today.

Little Black followed excitedly behind her, running around excitedly.

It stared longingly, wanting to eat the dried meat right away.

Du Ruoxia stewed a piece of meat for it. The fragrant meat was placed in an enamel bowl, and Xiao Hei ate it with great excitement, munching away happily.

Du Ruoxia then started cooking.

Yang Zeyan woke up in the evening, and his mental state was noticeably better.

He had dark circles under his eyes due to lack of sleep, but after a good night's sleep, the dark circles faded considerably.

Du Ruoxia specially cooked ginger and lean pork porridge for him, so he could replenish his energy when he was feeling down.

Yang Zeyan usually has to cook when he comes back from the army.

Now that he's collapsed, Du Ruoxia is taking care of him.

That's how it is between husband and wife: mutual understanding and tolerance, and helping each other when there are difficulties.

Yang Zeyan was about to get up, but Du Ruoxia pressed him back onto the bed to prevent him from getting up.

“Just lie here and drink. I’ll take the bowl away when you’re done. You’re so sick, what’s the point of being so particular?”

Du Ruoxia handed over the bowl of porridge, and Yang Zeyan drank it sip by sip.

The porridge my wife cooked had a faint medicinal taste, but it tasted quite good.

After eating, he felt better than before and was also a little curious.

"I added some ginger and medicinal herbs. The flavor isn't too strong, but it can definitely help replenish your qi and blood."

"You have a gunshot wound that seems to have been there for a while; it bled quite a bit when it was removed."

Du Ruoxia, holding a bowl, briefly explained the situation under Yang Zeyan's curious gaze.

Yang Zeyan smiled and spoke to her tenderly.

"Honey, thank you so much, you're so good to me."
