Qin An Ning touched her nose guiltily. It would be impossible to hide this from Gu Jie once he woke up, so it would be better for her to tell the story.
"These are health-preserving pills I made myself, with ginseng and other herbs in them.
At that time, Comrade Gu Jie was seriously injured and breathing weakly, so I thought of giving him a pill. After all, it is for replenishing Qi and blood, so there shouldn't be any problem. "
The doctor was a Western doctor and didn't know much about Chinese medicine. Upon hearing this, he said, "Then your pill is really powerful. Otherwise, with Comrade Gu Jie's injuries, he should have passed out long ago."
"It's not necessarily all due to the pills. I gave him a hemostatic drug. Maybe since he didn't lose as much blood, his body functions are better."
The doctor nodded. "That's possible. Okay, take good care of the patient. If you don't understand anything, ask the nurse."
After more than three hours of surgery, he was tired and went to rest.
Knowing that Gu Jie was fine, Qin Anning and Lu Cheng could go home with peace of mind.
There was a faint smell of blood in the car, so Qin Anning opened the window a crack.
Lu Cheng glanced over here and said gently, "It's cold, be careful not to catch a cold. The back seat is dirty, I'll clean it up tomorrow and the smell will be gone."
"This night was quite thrilling. When I first bumped into someone, my mind was completely paralyzed."
Lu Cheng's eyes flashed, but he didn't say that he was also very nervous. He flew out alone. If something really happened, he was afraid that he would have a psychological trauma in the future.
After returning home, the two entered the space and took a good bath before going to bed.
Qin Anning yawned while lying on the bed. "You've been busy for half the night. Don't go to school so early tomorrow."
Lu Cheng lay down on the other side, reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, and then said, "No, I have an early class tomorrow. I'm already teaching university knowledge, and I also have professional courses. I can't skip class."
"Then you can drive there tomorrow. I don't need a car tomorrow."
The temperature is below zero now, so it's still quite cold to ride a bike.
"Go to sleep." Lu Cheng didn't say whether he would drive or not. He just leaned closer to Qin An Ning and put his arm around her waist.
Qin An Ning didn't sleep well that night and had a dream. He dreamed that after they found Gu Jie, a group of people chased them and opened a wooden warehouse at them without saying a word.
She and Lu Cheng dragged Gu Jie into the car and drove away, with those people still chasing them.
As the car was driving, I don't know how it ended up in an unfamiliar place. The fog was so bad that I couldn't see the road conditions clearly, and I could hear gunshots not far away.
They didn't dare turn on the headlights for fear of attracting attention, which made it even more difficult to find the way.
Just as they were running around like headless flies, a tall man suddenly walked out of the fog.
He was covered in blood, holding a wooden gun in his hand, standing not far away from them, grinning at her with his white teeth.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Ningning, come here, Dad will take you home."
Qin Anning sat up from the bed, and it took him a while to realize that it was a dream.
She patted her cheeks, not knowing if it was because of what happened last night that she had such a dream.
I was in a daze the whole day, and the words "Daddy will take you home" kept echoing in my mind.
Until Lu Cheng came back in the afternoon.
"You didn't go out today?" Lu Cheng took off his gloves and scarf, poured a cup of hot water, and warmed his hands while drinking it.
Qin Anning saw his expression and realized, "No, you didn't drive to school?"
"I didn't drive because I was afraid you might need the car for something. Besides, it would be too conspicuous for a student like me to drive."
Lu Cheng reached out and touched Qin Anning's forehead. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I just had a dream."
Qin Anning was still a little puzzled when talking about the dream, "Why would I have such a dream? Could it be that Dad is coming back soon?"
The last time she dreamed about her father, he told her to wait for him to come back.
This time I want to take her home.
Does that mean that Dad’s mission is almost completed?
Knowing that his daughter-in-law was worried about her father-in-law, Lu Cheng agreed, "You two are connected by heart, and maybe the dream is just a hint. Just wait patiently."
It's almost time, should we go pick up Big Brother and Wei An'an?"
"No need. Their two bicycles can't fit in our car. Besides, Big Brother can take An An home after dinner. Let's not be a light bulb."
Lu Cheng glanced at the time and said, "Then we don't need to go so early. We can leave later."
"Don't wait, let's go early and go to Fengshenggong at the north gate to see if we can buy some butter fried cakes. I suddenly want to eat them."
Qin An Ning swallowed his saliva as he spoke, looking like a greedy cat.
Lu Cheng laughed, "Okay, let's go now. If I buy you a few more plates, you can eat them whenever you want."
The fried cakes here are fried and sold immediately, 24 cents per plate, with five in a plate.
The shape of the cream fried cake is an irregular circle, golden in color, sprinkled with white sugar, the outer skin is crispy and fragrant, the inside has been fried to form a semi-hollow shape, the inside is soft and sticky, a pungent cream aroma fills the brain, it is delicious.
Qin An Ning squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
Seeing that she liked it, Lu Cheng packed up ten more plates and also bought walnut cheese and almond tofu from the store.
"Don't eat too much. We need to eat later. I packed it for you."
"Yeah." Qin An Ning responded without stopping.
Seeing that Qin An Ning was enjoying her meal, Lu Cheng did not stop her and stayed with her.
Qin An Ning picked up a piece of fried cake with a fork and fed it to Lu Cheng. When she put it to his mouth, she remembered that the current atmosphere did not allow it, so she was about to withdraw her hand.
Lu Cheng lowered his head, opened his mouth wide, and ate it in one bite. He did it so quickly that if Qin An Ning hadn't seen that the fried cake was gone, she would have thought it was an illusion.
They looked around guiltily, and felt relieved when they saw that no one noticed them.
After this incident, Qin An Ning decided not to eat here and quickly pulled Lu Cheng away.
Lu Cheng walked casually with his hands in his pockets, and said lazily, "No one saw it, why are you feeling guilty?"
Qin Anning curled her lips, "I don't want to be dragged away for education."
The current Donglaishun has been renamed Minzu Restaurant, and the long wooden tables are wiped very clean.
They arrived early and chose a seat in a corner by the window.
The lamb is all hand-cut, which takes time, so the two of them ordered it first.
Nowadays, hot pot does not have so many side dishes. At that time, there were only cabbage, radish, vermicelli and so on. There were not many varieties, and we ordered a plate of each.
When Cheng Shuqing and Wei Anan arrived, the mutton had just been cut and served on the table.
The tender lamb slices are neatly arranged on the plate, with bright red and white colors.
The copper hot pot was placed in the middle of the dining table. The soup in the pot was rolling, bubbles kept coming out, and it exuded a rich aroma.
Qin Anning laughed and teased, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. You two really know how to keep track of time. Hurry up and start eating."
