Chapter 112 Rehabilitation Training Begins
The girl snorted and produced a bottle of Tiger Balm (green liquid) from behind her, waving it smugly. "Jiang Chao, this is a treasure. With its help, why worry about your leg not recovering well?"
The boy had been waiting for these words. He raised an eyebrow and said, "In that case, there's no need to pay. Just drink it!"
"Hehe! Green Water is magical, but it's not so magical that it can cure all diseases. Its function is to improve bodily functions and immunity, and speed up wound healing. Otherwise... why would I have gone to Rongcheng for surgery? I've been drinking it for more than two years, and my lameness has been cured long ago!"
Seeing that she couldn't argue with her, she threw the watermelon rind aside, lay down facing the wall, and thought to herself that she was really temperamental. She swung her legs and slowly ate the watermelon.
In no time, only watermelon rinds remained on the plate. After wiping the water stains from her hands and mouth with a towel, she turned around and started poking someone's slender waist repeatedly.
"If you don't want your fingers anymore, just chop them off with a knife!" The boy rolled over, his tone filled with anger.
Yun Xia, immune to sharp tongues, rolled her eyes and whispered, "When I was in Rongcheng, I discovered a business opportunity. If it's successful, this amount of rehabilitation training fees will be as small as a sesame seed."
Jiang Chao's eyes narrowed, his deep gaze filled with doubt. "Ha, you think I'm so easily fooled because my surname is Feng?"
Seeing that he didn't believe her, she conjured up a small cloth bag, untied the knot, and stuffed it into his palm.
The boy looked down at it for a long time, then said blankly, "What kind of seed is this? I've never seen it before!"
"A single ginseng seed, once fully grown, can sell for over a hundred yuan."
"Ha, that's wishful thinking. Do you think it can grow into a useful tree in less than 10 or 8 years?"
"Oh dear, look at your memory! Didn't I tell you before? The flow of time in the spatial fertile fields and the real world is different, it's 10:1. I've inquired about it. For ginseng to reach its medicinal properties, ordinary ginseng needs to be 6 years old, wild ginseng needs to be 6-10 years old, ginseng grown under trees needs to be 10-30 years old, and wild ginseng needs to be 30 years old or more."
“As for artificially cultivated ginseng, it takes 2-3 years to develop medicinal properties. With fertile fields, fertile soil, fast time flow, and the support of green water, it is not impossible for it to develop medicinal properties within a year.”
The boy thought about it for a while and felt that what she said made sense, but he stubbornly refused to admit it. "Hmph, since you already have a plan in mind, you don't need to discuss it with me."
"Oh dear, Brother Jiang Chao, once they're grown up, we'll have to rely on you for sales. These past few days, while I was at the rehabilitation center, I also went to the flower and bird market several times. I bought a whole bunch of things: loose soil, coconut bricks, humus, fine sand, and ceramic pots. They can start breeding in the next few days."
"I'm not good with words, so I'm afraid I can't help you. You can ask Bai Ye or Gu Xun; they have a lot of connections." After saying that, he lay down and stared at the roof beam without blinking.
Yunxia grasped his wrist, her little mouth chattering away, showering him with compliments, practically turning him into a flower in full bloom.
"Shut up, go make a scene outside, don't disturb my afternoon nap."
"Okay!"
Seeing the boy's lips curl slightly upward, she knew he was no longer angry. With a triumphant look in her eyes, she picked up the watermelon rind and walked out of the side room.
In the afternoon, Yunxia, pretending to take a nap in her side-lying room, subtly entered the spatial field!
Prepare a loose, breathable, and nutrient-rich soil according to a certain ratio, sow half a bag of seeds, and water with some well water that was prepared in advance.
"Phew, the rest is up to time!"
He dusted off his clothes, turned around, picked up his basket, and went into the vegetable and fruit field to enjoy the joy of the harvest.
Three days later, a salesman in a suit and tie came to visit, saying that the rehabilitation training plan had been completed, with two hours of training every day, and the schedule needed to be planned in advance.
The group had already discussed this issue. During summer vacation and weekends, the time would be set from 9 to 11 a.m., and during weekdays when it was school, it would be set from 7 to 9 p.m.
After agreeing on a time, the salesperson left behind a large pile of free gifts and then left with his briefcase.
The following day, at 8:40 a.m., Yunxia helped Jiang Chao, who was using crutches, to the rehabilitation center. The receptionist led the two into the rehabilitation training room.
Under the guidance of the rehabilitation therapist, Jiang Chao did rehabilitation exercises, such as lying flat and gently kicking the rubber band with the soles of his feet, and raising his leg halfway to draw circles in the air.
Before long, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the boy's face, but he refused to give up and gritted his teeth to continue.
Two hours later, the exhausted boy lay sprawled on the mat. Yunxia took a bottle of soda water and carefully fed it to him.
"Young man, you have good stamina!" the therapist praised while recording the day's training progress.
"Hmph, covered in sweat, panting like a dog, what's so good about that?"
"Everyone has their own expertise, so how can you calculate it based on normal activity levels? Those exercises you just did, an average person wouldn't even be able to finish four sets!"
Upon hearing this, the boy turned his head and stared intently at the girl.
"Hey, what are you looking at me for? Let me tell you, I would never do those things!"
"Hehe, just say you're afraid of showing your weakness!"
"Don't think that just because you're a patient I won't dare to beat you up."
...
The therapist, who had overheard the siblings bickering the whole time, closed his notebook, capped his pen, adjusted his glasses, and patiently advised, "Young lady, a good mood is good for your recovery. You... could you give him a little leeway?"
"Ha, who needs her to give way!"
"Young man, look at you, your face has turned blue with anger. This is not good. Go back and drink some honeysuckle tea to cool down!"
The therapist had a sincere smile on his face, and his heartfelt advice was very effective. The boy's face was no longer ashen, but turned...black. As for Yun Xia, she lay to the side, laughing heartily.
Even after leaving the institution, the boy's face remained sour.
"Hey, they're just trying to help you, so don't be angry. Come on, let's go browse that store!"
Jiang Chao raised his head slightly, looked at the shop he was pointing to, the signboard with the four characters 'Wu Yi Tea Shop', glared at it, snorted coldly, and strode away.
In the end, he couldn't win over the girl and was pulled into a teahouse. He paid for three ounces of dried honeysuckle before he returned to his normal speaking tone.
The pale yellow tea soup exuded a rich floral fragrance. Jiang Chao kept a straight face, swallowed slightly, and gulped down the cup in a few mouthfuls.
"Tsk tsk, I knew it would turn out like this. Luckily it cooled down, otherwise... you'd be in big trouble."
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, he picked up the honeysuckle from the bottom of the cup with his chopsticks, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. Yunxia frowned as she watched, pursed her lips in disgust, and turned to go to the kitchen to busy herself.
Just as the braised pork was ready, there was a knocking sound at the door outside the courtyard.
After serving and turning off the heat, I took off my apron and quickly opened the door to check.
"Brother Zhang, what brings you here?"
"Oh, Miss and Young Master have settled in and sent me to deliver the invitation!"
Wealthy families are indeed particular; they even send out invitations for housewarmings. Yunxia took the envelope with a smile on her face and invited him in for tea, but he declined, citing official business.
Watching the deep red car drive away, the girl clicked her tongue a few times, replied to a few words to the onlookers, and then closed the gate and went into the yard.
"Who is it?" the boy asked, leaning against the doorframe, puzzled.
"Oh, it's Aunt Liu's bodyguard, delivering the invitation. Oh, it smells so good, the envelope is even sprayed with perfume. Ask him!"
He tossed the invitation to the boy, dashed into the kitchen, and started serving the dishes.
At the dinner table, Jiang Chao, who had been practicing for two hours, didn't care about his table manners. He ate braised pork with white steamed buns, his mouth glistening with oil.
