Chapter 32: Reprimanding Ling Xiao

"But what? You think that letting me go for such a while and then coming back would waste my time, right? You are not Zhuge Liang, so how could you have thought that your lover would regain consciousness so quickly? After all... I heard that he was in a coma for two years?"

As Sister Liu was talking, she brought over a stool for Lin Li to sit on.

"Come on, sit down and talk to Big Sister."

Lin Li lifted her baggy clothes, sat down, nodded and said, "Yes, he has been in a coma for two years. It was very hard to feed him liquid food before."

"Yes, I told your second brother," Sister Liu's eyes sparkled, "because you were injured this time, you saved your lover from the disaster, so he woke up so quickly. This is all thanks to you... Otherwise, think about it, how could such a coincidence happen in the world?"

Lin Li: “…”

Is there such a saying?

"You delayed me for a while, but it's not a delay," said Sister Liu, a chatterbox. "I only have two hands. When I do something over there, I can't do anything here. It doesn't matter where I do it, it's all my job anyway."

"But you can't earn my salary..."

"Hey, sister, I don't know how you and the hospital agreed on the price, but I can't make enough money from the nursing fees you pay the hospital."

"Why?" Lin Li was a little confused.

"Because I specialize in odd jobs. After I finish washing clothes, I have to help the nurses and help take care of the patients. If the hospital is profitable, it would be nice to give me a little more bonus at the end of the year, but there is no such thing as giving me two salaries..."

Lin Li thought about it and seemed to understand.

That is to say, if she hires a caregiver herself, she will pay the caregiver herself.

But the person found by the hospital is one of the hospital's own employees. So, even if Lin Li paid extra nursing fees, the hospital would pay the employees as usual and would not pay an extra salary.

"Sister, this is a bit unplanned..." Lin Li blinked, "You should discuss the scope of work with the hospital. You are only responsible for washing clothes. How can the whole hospital assign all the odd jobs to you? You have to take a break after washing clothes, and then you have to take care of patients. After taking care of patients, you may be busy in the kitchen again... How can there be such an unclear division of labor? It is obvious that you are not allowed to have free time."

"Why not?" Sister Liu laughed. "Sister, you are still young and don't understand the ways of the world. For a middle-aged woman like me with a family and no education, I was able to find a job in the hospital because my family has connections! This job is easy and you can earn money. You may even get a permanent job in the future. For ordinary people, it's enough to make others envious."

"Oh..." Lin Li suddenly realized.

It turns out that Sister Liu got this job through connections.

But it is also true that hospitals in every era have always been welfare institutions.

People who have no education, no stable job and have a family to support but can work in a hospital are indeed envied by other ordinary people.

There are still many ordinary people in this small place.

I heard Sister Liu continue to say, "Sister, if you need my help in the future, just ask! As long as your husband is still in the hospital, just call me whenever you need my care and I will take the time to come over and help. I won't charge you any money. When the time comes, I can say that I helped on behalf of the nurses, not as a caregiver. I will never let you suffer any loss..."

"Thank you, big sister..." Lin Li quickly agreed.

After this conversation, Lin Li's heart knot was untied, and he finally no longer felt indebted to his elder sister.

She is a very sincere person, and she knows that this is not good, so she can only change little by little.

After chatting for a few more sentences, I felt the weather getting darker. I looked outside and saw that it was going to rain.

Lin Li said goodbye to his elder sister, saying that he had to go back to buy lunch.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to buy it if it rains.

The eldest sister wanted Lin Li to take the things back again.

Lin Li still refused.

Even when the eldest sister suggested that they just split it between them and she could keep half, Lin Li still disagreed.

After Lin Li returned to the ward, he discussed dinner with Lin Hua.

Breakfast was a bit haphazard because Lin Hua got up too early out of habit and the stall outside wasn't set up yet.

There is no need to have a medley of lunches nowadays.

Lin Li asked Lin Hua: "Brother, should I go out to buy food or should you? What do you want to eat?"

"I'll go. What do you want to eat?" Lin Hua smiled.

Lin Li thought about it and discussed the menu with his second brother.

Both of these siblings are of gentle temperament. They speak softly when they talk, and the atmosphere is very good.

The brother and sister were just chatting, but they didn't notice that Ling Xiao's thick long eyelashes trembled slightly on the sickbed opposite them.

Because at this moment, he felt a very warm scene that he had never seen before.

Although he still couldn't concentrate on thinking of anything, he really liked this atmosphere.

This was something he had never experienced before.

After Lin Hua went out to buy buns, Lin Li asked who the most famous Chinese medicine expert in the hospital was, and then took her medicinal herbs to the Chinese medicine expert for inspection.

I asked about the dosage to be used if I were to make a decoction for Ling Xiao to drink.

The experts gave advice.

Lin Li thanked her and thought that the medicine Mu Qing gave her was cultivated with space spiritual water and was more effective than ordinary medicine, so she could take a small dose.

It is always said that all medicines are poisonous. Even if the elixir eliminates the harmful effects and increases the beneficial effects, she still has to be cautious.

Besides, Ling Xiao couldn't eat normally and could only drink some liquid food. His appetite was not very good.

Lin Hua bought back buns with several kinds of fillings. When the brother and sister started eating, Lin Li actually ran to Ling Xiao's couch and ate while looking at Ling Xiao.

"Ling Xiao, this bun is really delicious, stuffed with cabbage and pork, so fragrant. You haven't eaten for two years, do you want to eat?" Lin Li kept muttering after every two bites until he finished eating.

Lin Li had a small appetite in the 21st century, so three of these small steamed buns were enough for him.

But after she traveled back to the 1980s, she found that she had become a glutton and needed to eat six small steamed buns.

And you can eat without gaining weight.

"Oh, this one is stuffed with pork and fennel..." Lin Li ate the second one.

"This one is actually filled with braised pork ribs..." This is the third one. "My second brother is really good at shopping. It feels like I'm opening a blind box."

I guess people of this era don’t know how to open blind boxes.

Lin Hua, who was standing by, was a little confused by Lin Li's actions: "Sister, Ling Xiao doesn't know anything at all. It's useless for you to tease him, he doesn't even know..."

Before he could finish the word "Tao", he suddenly shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, sister, did you see that? Ling Xiao's fingers moved! His fingers actually moved?!"

Lin Hua was not the type of person who liked to make a lot of noise. He was so happy at the moment that he didn't care about his image.

Lin Li also saw Ling Xiao's fingers moving slightly, but she was used to seeing it and didn't feel very happy.

She called the nurse and asked her to take the herbs to the kitchen to boil them.

The nurse did so.

When feeding Ling Xiao the medicine, Ling Xiao, who had regained some consciousness, always spit it out because he thought the medicine was too bitter. Lin Li got anxious and scolded Ling Xiao rudely.
