Chapter 30 "I'll stay with you." Okay, okay, so you're going to use this tactic on her...
Zhao Shuyi briefly repeated her previous statement to Huang Mei.
“I learned some basic medical knowledge from my grandmother before, and I can also make medicinal cuisine. I also learned some massage and acupuncture when I was taking care of the elderly. I can’t say that I can cure Company Commander Xia, but I hope that Company Commander Xia’s health will improve.”
She does know massage and acupuncture, but her technique isn't actually that good.
In her past life, she studied medicine. However, when she was in college, her family would ask her for money every few days, which made her spend a lot of time on part-time jobs and other things, and she couldn't keep up with her studies.
Fortunately, she's not good at practical application, but she's good at theory. When she heals people with the spiritual spring water, she should be able to brag without any problem.
This was something she hadn't told Gu Yan before. She knew that these days, both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine were at risk of being criticized, and she hadn't originally planned to bring it up. But she hadn't expected the higher-ups to attach so much importance to her going to take care of Company Commander Xia, so she had to show some ability.
Zhao Shuyi thought it was worth making use of.
If I use the spiritual spring water again and experience any slightly exaggerated effects, I can use this reason.
"I see, that makes it much more suitable."
Zhao Shuyi was still a little confused.
"Sister Huang, is there a problem? Please tell me directly, and I'll see if I can do it better."
Huang Mei looked at her and nodded in satisfaction.
“I can tell from you, Shuyi, that you are a reasonable person. I’m not afraid to tell you this, but you know that Company Commander Xia is a hero. We’ve asked many people to take care of her, but she has refused them all. I know that the biggest responsibility for this does not lie with Company Commander Xia.”
Zhao Shuyi nodded. She understood that taking care of someone who couldn't take care of themselves was difficult, especially when that person had a bad temper.
"The pay we offered was pretty good. Actually, a lot of people wanted to take on this job, but after Company Commander Xia drove many people away, we didn't plan to look for anyone else from the family compound."
Zhao Shuyi seemed to understand what she meant.
This is the cake everyone's eyeing; if she takes it easily, others will probably be envious.
In particular, Commander Tao is clearly a very generous person. I guess he gave a lot of money for food before. The more he gives, the more people will have ideas about it.
"So, what does Sister Huang mean?"
"Why don't you take the medical licensing exam? Is it possible? If you have a basic medical background, you should be able to take it. There's an exam at the beginning of next month."
Zhao Shuyi nodded, "Okay."
She may not be good at anything else, but she used to put a lot of effort into memorizing texts, and people these days might not be able to outperform her.
"If that doesn't work, then let Dr. Wang take care of you for two days... Are you ready to take the exam?"
Zhao Shuyi gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, I have read many medical books."
"Okay, if you have the certificate, we can give you fifteen yuan a month. You can coordinate with Company Commander Xia's family to arrange the schedule."
I didn't expect her to give such a high score of fifteen.
Is it thirty together with Commander Tao's group, or is this fifteen separately?
I always have this feeling that I've landed a really big job.
Zhao Shuyi suppressed many thoughts and said earnestly, "Sister Huang, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Company Commander Xia. Company Commander Xia really likes my cooking."
Zhao Shuyi felt that her cooking skills couldn't be kept secret, so it didn't matter if she promoted them herself.
Sure enough, Huang Mei was even more satisfied.
"I heard from Commander Tao that you are quite knowledgeable at such a young age. By the way, your marriage application with Xiao Gu will be approved soon, so don't worry."
Zhao Shuyi was taken aback; the topic had been changed.
She wasn't in a hurry.
But it was really hard to explain, so she could only smile awkwardly and shyly.
Huang Mei came and went in a hurry, busy arranging other things, but it was clear that she was in a good mood.
After she left, Gu Yan approached and said, "We should be able to get the marriage report tomorrow. Let's go get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
For some reason, Zhao Shuyi felt her face getting hot, but this was definitely not the time to back down.
She nodded and thought for a while before coming up with a topic to change the subject.
"Should we treat someone you know to a meal?"
They invited He Xu and his friends to dinner simply because they had helped with some work, but they should still invite his friends to dinner for their wedding and moving into a new house.
Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's wait a couple of days. You've been working hard lately, so take a break."
Although Zhao Shuyi didn't feel very tired, she knew he must have his reasons for making such arrangements, so she decided to listen to him.
"Okay, whatever you say."
The two were already set to get married, but that night Zhao Shuyi couldn't sleep and lay in bed for a long time without falling asleep.
The thought that another man might sleep in this bed in the future gave her a strange feeling.
Does this mean we won't be able to freely enter the space at night anymore?
Since things have come to this, let's get to work in the space tonight.
The rice was ripe, so Zhao Shuyi harvested it all and replanted it, then threshed the rice using a very ancient method.
The thought of having to dry and thresh the grains made Zhao Shuyi feel inexplicably amused.
It seems like I'm regressing as I get older.
But she was quite enthusiastic about it.
She felt that the rice produced in her space would definitely be different, and with her hard work, it would surely be even more fragrant.
After working in the space for several hours, Zhao Shuyi finally managed to suppress the inexplicable tension that had arisen within her.
The next day, Zhao Shuyi woke up very early.
She woke up just as dawn broke, only to find that Gu Yan had already arrived and brought his luggage.
"Why so early? Are we leaving this early?"
I didn't mention it yesterday.
Gu Yan didn't mention that he hadn't slept for almost the entire night.
He didn't know what there was to be nervous about.
From a young age, he knew he had a fiancée he would marry when he grew up, but he didn't understand what marriage meant.
Until he met Zhao Shuyi in Shanghai, he always thought that marriage was just a man and a woman getting together to live their lives and then each taking responsibility for their own.
What kind of feelings could there be between two people who have barely met?
Moreover, he has always been indifferent to emotions since childhood. He doesn't think he would have any feelings for a woman; he only feels a sense of responsibility.
But if that's really the case, why did he tense up when Zhao Shuyi got close to him, and why did he have a sleepless night on the eve of his wedding to her?
What is he worried about, or... what is he expecting?
"I just woke up and came over. You... do you want to practice your skills?"
Zhao Shuyi: "..."
Okay, okay, so you're going to use this trick on her?
She was both amused and exasperated. What kind of good person would get up early to learn self-defense on the day they get their marriage certificate?
But it doesn't seem like it's impossible.
"Practice! Let me change my clothes."
Soon Zhao Shuyi came out dressed in clothes that allowed her to move around more easily.
"Can I train myself to become very strong, like lifting a big log?"
Zhao Shuyi still hasn't given up on her house-building project.
Gu Yan was unaware of her thoughts and felt puzzled, but he still answered her question seriously.
"If you train hard, your muscles will get stronger, but whether you can lift a big log depends on your own potential and the effectiveness of your training."
"The better the results, the more effort you will definitely have to put in."
Hearing him say that, Zhao Shuyi felt relieved.
She had studied medicine, so she naturally knew the changes that muscle training could bring, but she was afraid that Gu Yan didn't know.
It seems she was overthinking things.
The reason for this concern is that Zhao Shuyi has noticed that her strength seems to have increased recently.
She felt it was definitely not the effect of muscle training, but rather the effect of the spiritual spring water.
But she definitely needs to give herself a reason that isn't too outrageous for her change.
"I can do it, train me all you want!"
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow. "Okay, if you want to build strength, start with horse stance. Practice horse stance for half an hour first, and then I'll teach you a couple of moves."
After hearing about the half-hour horse stance, Zhao Shuyi's legs went weak.
"Could you teach me a couple of moves before I start practicing the horse stance? I'm afraid my legs will start to shake."
Gu Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Alright. I'll teach you the two simplest tricks. One is how to deal with someone attacking you from behind."
Gu Yan placed one hand on her thin shoulder, feeling as if he could crush her bones with a gentle squeeze of his palm.
However, from Zhao Shuyi's perspective, she only felt that Gu Yan's movements were very light.
A hot palm rested on her shoulder, making her feel both hot and itchy, which was strange.
"Hmm, you ambushed me, and then what?"
Gu Yan swallowed and continued explaining.
"Then you grab his wrists with both hands, and hold them..."
Zhao Shuyi followed his posture and grabbed his wrists from the sides with both hands. They were hard and stiff, and the man's arms were really thick.
She felt that if she encountered an enemy like him, she would probably only be at his mercy.
"Then grab my hand, quickly twist your body to the side to avoid my other hand, and twist this arm behind your back. Generally, this is enough to subdue your opponent if you are evenly matched. But if your opponent is very strong, you must be careful that they don't slip up or launch a sneak attack from below..."
Gu Yan explained it very carefully, and Zhao Shuyi also studied it diligently.
The two quickly put aside their inexplicable emotions and became serious, mastering the movements in no time.
The problem is that she's too weak. If the other person is a man like Gu Yan, she definitely won't be able to do anything about it.
Gu Yan sighed, "If you really encounter bad people, your first priority is to ensure your own safety. Only after you've ensured your safety should you try to seek help."
"I see."
Zhao Shuyi didn't realize how weak she was until she tried, which strengthened her resolve to practice more.
Then she started practicing horse stance.
Seeing that she was serious, Gu Yan also helped her correct her posture.
"Just hold this position for half an hour. If you can't hold it, that's okay. We can take it slowly and gradually."
“I can do it,” Zhao Shuyi said firmly.
"Okay, if you do that, I'll buy you a new outfit later."
Zhao Shuyi glanced at him and was amused by his tone of voice, which sounded like he was coaxing a child.
Are you this generous to your own men?
Gu Yanxin said they were dreaming.
But he didn't say that.
"You've worked very hard; we can't let your efforts go unrewarded."
What he meant was that this path was truly difficult, requiring years of accumulated experience.
He could tell that Zhao Shuyi really wanted to learn, so he wanted to encourage her.
Seeing that Zhao Shuyi seemed to be trembling, Gu Yan squatted down a little in front of her so that she could see him when she looked up.
"I'll stay with you."
