Tian Cai walked home with a gloomy face. After walking for a while, the anger that had just accumulated dissipated a lot.

She stopped and couldn't help asking herself why she had to argue with someone who knew nothing. Besides, the other person was the patient's family member and had come to see her during the day. She was not at home because she went to the county. Now that the patient's condition was serious, it was normal for her to be anxious and worried.

Both Grandpa Tian and Cai Ping had warned her before that as a doctor, one must be patient. While not necessarily expressionless, one must never let the family members' emotions affect one. Moreover, the saying "a doctor is like a parent" was never just a saying.

Tian Cai smiled bitterly. She was still far from being a real doctor!

But it was really embarrassing to let her go back like this. Tian Cai thought about Xiao Shitou's pulse. It was stringy and strong, with nearly six beats per minute, but it was not firm when pressed. It was obviously a sign of extreme heat. Without acupuncture, he could only use a large dose of Baihu Decoction as medicine, and then use ginseng to replenish the deficiency. It would take effect in one day, and the child would be able to walk in two to three days.

How about she boil the medicine and have someone deliver it? But she was afraid that Mr. Ding and his wife wouldn't give it to the child.

Forget it, she still had to go over and take a look. If the couple didn't send Xiao Shitou to the health center, she would have to go over and reduce the fever in the child.

Tian Cai bit her lip, wrapped her clothes tightly around her, and turned around to walk back. She also wanted to save face, so she couldn't go directly to the Ding family. So she carefully hid not far from the Yu family, listening attentively to any movement in the Ding family.

After about ten minutes, there was still no movement in the house. Tian Cai couldn't help but feel anxious. What was wrong with these two people? They just left the child alone after he was so burned? Otherwise, she should go over and take a look. If Xiao Shitou really got sick from the burn, she might have a guilty conscience for the rest of her life.

Two minutes later, just when Tian Cai was about to throw away his dignity and go in, the door of the Ding family opened.

She quickly took a step back and stuck to the wall, looking sideways in that direction.

Mrs. Ding came out first, followed by Boss Ding who was carrying a small stone on his back. The two of them hurried to Zhang Defa's house.

Tian Cai guessed that he might have gone to borrow a car, so he felt a little relieved and took Mimi home.

Here, the Ding couple brought their children to Zhang's house, knocked on the door and borrowed a bicycle from the captain.

Zhang Defa saw that Little Stone, with red cheeks, was still confused on Boss Ding's back, and immediately scolded him, "What's the point of going to the commune at night if you don't send Xiaotian off? Doctor Liu in the commune is even worse than Xiaotian!"

Boss Ding smiled awkwardly, and Shi Tou Niang beside him also looked quite unnatural.

"What's going on?" Zhang Defa knew something was wrong when he saw the two of them like this, and asked with a frown.

Shitou Niang still didn't say anything. Out of consideration for his wife's face, Boss Ding just mumbled that he had just spoken rudely and made Doctor Tian unhappy.

Zhang Defa looked at him suspiciously. Tian Cai wasn't such a petty person. He had dealt with that girl so many times that he knew her personality. "What's going on?" he asked.

Seeing that the couple was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off and just refused to say anything, Zhang Defa got angry and was about to say something when Gao Huijuan came over with her clothes on.

"Shitou has a fever?" Gao Huijuan stepped forward and touched Shitou's forehead with the back of her hand. She was immediately shocked. "It's so hot! I have some fever-reducing pills here. Give one to the child quickly."

As he said that, he went back to the room, opened the drawer, looked at the several medicine bottles inside, found the fever-reducing medicine and took it out, then poured a bowl of warm water and brought it over, and was about to ask Boss Ding to put the child down.

Mrs. Ding moved, blocking the way, and with an unnatural smile, she said, "I've tried fever-reducing medicine before, but it didn't work. So, maybe we should just stop taking it?"

"Is this the antipyretic medicine made by Xiaotian? She makes it very well. Everyone who has used it praises it!" Gao Huijuan didn't realize anything at this time. She poured a pill into a spoon, crushed it, added some warm water, and held it up to feed it to Xiao Shitou.

"No need, auntie," Mrs. Ding stretched out her hand to shield Xiao Shitou's face, her smile already very stiff. "We are just here to borrow a car. It would be better to go to the commune to get the injection so that we can get better faster."

Gao Huijuan paused, "Why are you still making such a fuss when the child has such a high fever? Besides, Xiaotian can get an injection right there, why did you have to run so far?"

Seeing that the couple was stubborn and refused to speak, Zhang Defa didn't bother to talk to them anymore. He pointed to the wall and said, "The bicycle is right there. Go slowly at night."

As he said that, he went back to the house and took out the flashlight. "Use the electric baton first, and then return it to me later."

"Hey, thank you, uncle! Thank you, aunt!" Old Ding thanked them repeatedly, and he and Aunt Ding hurriedly pushed the cart out.

Gao Huijuan saw the two men leave, looked down at the spoon in her wife's hand, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "As they say, birds of a feather flock together. These two are quite stubborn. In the past, the eldest daughter-in-law could still say something, but look at them now. They can't even get a word out of them."

Gao Huijuan rolled her eyes at him. "She has nothing to say to us, but I think she and Zhou Xiang's family have a lot to say to each other. They often get together and whisper to each other."

It's just a pity to waste a pill in vain. "How about you wake up Baocai and let him take it?"

…

In the following days, Tian Cai did not see the three members of the Ding family in the village. She went there again under the pretext of taking Wang Songbai's wife for a follow-up visit. She asked Li Yuqin and found out that the eldest brother Ding came back two days ago, took some clothes and left again. Ding Xuehong was the only one at home these days.

But soon Tian Cai no longer had the time to care about these things because she had new patients coming to see her.

This person was brought here by Qian Liming, who was said to be his leader and had tried Tian Cai's shampoo before.

He has a short and stocky build, small eyes, a flat nose, thick lips, and very sparse hair on his head. Most of the hair in the front has fallen out, leaving only some at the back. He likes to deceive himself by combing the hair at the back up to cover his shiny head.

Every time the wind blows, I have to find a way to turn my head in the direction of the wind. After the wind passes, I have to pull my hair a few times to make sure that those few poor strands of hair are still covering my shiny head.
