More than an hour had passed before we knew it.
"You are an exceptionally perceptive child. If you had studied traditional Chinese medicine earlier, your expertise would definitely be no less than mine! It's such a pity."
"It's not too late for me to learn now, but I can only learn acupuncture. I really don't have the ability to learn anything else."
"It's already great that I've learned this much, and I'm really gratified."
The two picked up their teacups and clinked them together. Lu Zhixia finished her tea and stood up.
"Alright, I'm going to check how they've finished cleaning up. Let's cook and eat!"
“Go!” said Old Master Bai.
When Lu Zhixia entered the house, she saw the sliced fish in the basin, as well as various side dishes prepared, and even the rice had been washed and was soaking in the basin.
"You're all ready so quickly!" Lu Zhixia rolled up her sleeves and was about to start cooking.
Xiao Zhang said with a smile, "These fish slices were sliced by our team leader himself; they're as thin as cicada wings."
Lu Zhixia picked up a slice of fish and examined it; indeed, it was sliced very thinly and almost transparent.
"Not bad, not bad, but where is he?"
Xiao Zhang said mysteriously, "He cut his finger, but I just rinsed it with water and let him come inside!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhixia lifted the curtain and entered the room. She saw Gu Lingxiao wiping his hands with tissue paper and quickly went over to check on his wound, which was quite large.
Why weren't you more careful?
"I didn't expect the knife to be so fast."
"Let me bandage your wound."
"good."
Lu Zhixia found the first-aid kit, took out clean gauze, then took out iodine, dipped a cotton swab in it, and wiped his wound.
Only after confirming disinfection did they wrap the gauze, moving very carefully so as not to hurt him.
"There's no need for that, I'm not afraid of pain."
Lu Zhixia then quickly bandaged the wound, finally tying a bow, and felt that she had done a pretty good job.
"Isn't it beautiful!"
"nice!"
When Xiao Zhang came in, he saw that the captain's fingers were wrapped up like a rice dumpling. He couldn't bear to look at them. What was so interesting about being wrapped up like that?
Do straight men become like this after falling in love?
Lu Zhixia was quite satisfied with her masterpiece. Seeing Xiao Zhang come in, she went out to cook.
Gu Lingxiao leaned against the wall, looking at his bandaged fingers, and chuckled softly as he smiled.
After seeing this, Xiao Zhang shook his head. He really couldn't understand it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Lu Zhixia first cooked a pot of rice, then started stir-frying vegetables, and finally made sauerkraut fish.
The weather was a bit overcast today, but it didn't rain, so we moved the table outside and ate our meal there.
The appetizing pickled fish dish was well-received by them.
Grandpa Bai ate two bowls in a row, but fearing that eating too much would upset his stomach, he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks.
"This is the most delicious food imaginable. This dish is excellent."
"I'll go to the village and make it for Grandma when I have time."
"Okay, okay, that's exactly what I was waiting for! Your grandma will definitely love it!"
Just then, the chickens started clucking, attracting their attention.
Then, the chicken in the cage laid an egg.
"This hen actually laid an egg! We get free eggs!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.
Grandpa Bai stroked his beard. "This chicken is laying eggs to save its life. We can't kill it, so let's keep it!"
"Then let's keep it as a pet," Lu Zhixia said nonchalantly.
Grandpa Bai glanced at the corner of the wall and said, "It seems we'll have to make a chicken coop too."
Gu Lingxiao said, "That's easy. There's a pile of bricks outside. We can just build a chicken coop."
"You just build a nest with bricks and put some weeds inside, but the chickens need to eat every day."
Xiao Zhang stuffed all the rice in the bowl into his mouth and then filled another bowl.
Lu Zhixia said, "That's easy. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and buy some cornmeal. I can just mix it up and eat it."
Grandpa Bai said, "Then don't prepare too much. I'll take this chicken back with me next time I go back."
"Okay, Grandpa, I understand." Lu Zhixia served herself a smaller portion of rice; she would feel full if she ate any more.
After dinner, everyone sat for a while, chatted, and digested their food.
Then they went inside to continue acupuncture. This time, Grandpa Bai changed the needling technique, making it much more complicated than before.
Lu Zhixia watched the whole thing, afraid that she would miss any details.
——
There was a knock on Song Weidong's door. Chen Jianing was cooking and couldn't make it in time, so she could only shout into the house.
"Dong-ge! Go open the door!"
Song Weidong came out of the house and went to the door. After opening the door, he saw that it was his sister's school teacher. He had met her once when she first enrolled and remembered her.
"Your sister's been in an accident, she's at the hospital, you need to come with me right away!"
"What happened to her?" Song Weidong asked impatiently.
Teacher Liu rolled her eyes and said, "Your sister had a miscarriage!"
