Chapter 5 My Wife Didn't Hit Me
She shifted her focus to his injuries. "We only have safflower oil at home, which is not safe. Let's go to the health center."
Shi Qingqing rummaged around and found a little money left after buying groceries. With the forty-six and fifty cents, it would be enough to take Zhao Fengnian to the clinic.
So he dragged the reluctant Zhao Fengnian to take a look.
The clinic is the first choice for the local people to see a doctor. In fact, it was opened by a former barefoot doctor.
The old doctor's son studied medicine but had no connections to get a job in the city hospital, so he had to come back to help. He also brought back a girlfriend who studied nursing from a nearby technical secondary school. After they got married, the two of them helped their father in the clinic.
Except for not being able to perform surgery or take X-rays, the range of diseases that can be treated in clinics nowadays may be even wider than that in hospitals.
The old doctor checked and said that the bones were not injured, but that medicated oil should be applied and a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing plaster should be applied.
It’s best not to do physical work in the next few days. The old doctor noticed the scratches on Zhao Fengnian’s back and frowned as he glanced at Shi Qingqing.
I guess they were wondering how a petite girl like her, who was only about 1.6 meters tall, could beat a man who looked to be 1.8 meters tall into such a state.
Zhao Fengnian realized that the doctor had misunderstood, and he quickly explained, "My wife didn't hit me. No, it wasn't my wife who hit me."
Shi Qingqing told him to be quiet, saying that the more he explained, the less clear it became, and there was no need to tell everyone about family matters.
Zhao Fengnian felt very distressed when he saw Shi Qingqing paying thirteen dollars and fifty cents to the doctor.
After following his wife home, Zhao Fengnian discovered that what his wife meant by following the doctor's orders was not letting him do any work at all. She just let him lie down with the ointment on his face and covered him with a quilt.
For dinner, I also made vegetable and lean meat porridge and fried shredded potatoes for him.
The meat slices are cooked at different times, so they are very tender, not sticky, and very delicious.
The shredded potatoes were definitely cooked, but they had a crispy texture, which balanced out the sticky porridge and was something I couldn't get enough of.
After she saw that he had finished eating, she tried a little bit from the bottom of the pot, which was less than a small bowl in total.
"Wife, please cook some more. You can't eat that little bit."
"That's enough. Besides, it's dinner, and I don't want to eat too much."
"Wife~"
"Shut up and take a rest." Shi Qingqing brought him some hot water to soak his feet. She finished all the housework quickly and then took the crochet hook to crochet a pair of small shoes and socks.
Her sister's second daughter is only a few months old. She started crocheting her with cashmere yarn a few days ago and is almost done. Although she doesn't plan to be so open-hearted to her family in the future, she doesn't like to do things halfway.
She skillfully turned the needle and finished the work. Under the dim light, the scene seemed particularly warm and the beauty under the light almost stunned Zhao Fengnian.
Shi Qingqing thought about making breakfast tomorrow morning and then riding her bike out. After completing the task, she would buy some spare ribs, pork liver, etc. at the vegetable market on the way back.
In her dream, ten or twenty years later, everyone ate so well, and as long as they were not poor, they could have meat for every meal. She also wanted to eat like that.
Maybe this is what the scholars say, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but easy to go from frugality to extravagance. If you have seen something better, you will want to live a life like that.
After she finished knitting the shoes and socks, she suddenly slapped her thigh in frustration.
"Oh no! A bag of mussels is wasted." It cost me several cents.
Mussels, also known as clams, have almost no sand and taste very good.
Because there is the sea not far away, this is not a precious item and is as cheap as oysters.
Forget it, just consider it as Zhou Bin’s last meal.
It's late at night.
It was dark outside, and when the lights were turned on inside the house, it became even darker, with almost no light visible.
Zhao Fengnian started snoring softly and hugged the person next to him out of habit. Shi Qingqing moved her fingers but didn't push him away.
She started to think wildly, thinking about the things in her dream, thinking about how she hadn't had a good argument today, and how she should scold him more harshly...
As she thought about it and listened to her husband's calls, Shi Qingqing fell asleep.
I didn’t have any dreams that night, and it lasted until dawn.
When Shi Qingqing woke up, she didn't see Zhao Fengnian. Zhao Fengnian came back after she finished washing up, holding a bag of peanut soup and some buns.
Plastic bags have become very common in recent years. People buy everything in plastic bags, even hot liquids.
"Wife, get up, brush your teeth and eat."
Shi Qingqing did not correct his address again. She felt it was easy as it saved her the trouble of having to prepare breakfast.
After eating a sesame ball, a vegetable cake, and drinking half a bowl of peanut soup, he asked Zhao Fengnian for his bicycle.
There is a bicycle at home, which Zhao Fengnian bought second-hand for about 20 yuan.
"where are you going."
"I'm going to see a friend."
Zhao Fengnian remembered that the crisis of divorce had not yet dissipated, and suddenly his heart tightened: "What friends are you looking at?"
"You don't know him." Shi Qingqing thought of something and added with a frown, "He's not a man."
Zhao Fengnian said awkwardly: "I don't doubt you, right...I want to take you there."
"No need. Since you are injured, just stay home or go to your friends to watch TV and talk. Remember to apply the medicine." While speaking, Shi Qingqing saw the bucket at home, so she picked it up and hung it on the handle.
Zhao Fengnian said, "I won't go out. I'll stay at home and cook for you when you come back."
"If you're hungry, just eat something. I'll come back and make you some soup." Shi Qingqing had already pushed the bike out of the door, then got on.
I couldn't get on it right away because I was too unfamiliar with it.
I pushed up with one leg and used the other leg to push a few steps before putting it on the other side. The bike shook a few times at the beginning and the handlebars were unstable, but slowly I became proficient.
Riding a bicycle is a skill that you will never forget once you learn it.
Zhao Fengnian stood at the door and walked out for a long distance. He turned back when he could no longer see his wife's back.
At the edge of the town, Shi Qingqing walked forward based on her memory, and after more than 40 minutes, she could no longer see the town at all.
After another hour of bumpy ride along a side road, she finally reached the beach.
As soon as we arrived at the beach, the fish mall popped up and marked all the collectible oysters within three miles.
The typhoon passed through yesterday and didn't affect the town much, but there were a lot of seaweed, kelp, shells and other things washed up on the beach.
A dozen people were scattered on the beach. Some were prying oysters from the exposed rocks, some were picking shellfish on the beach, and occasionally someone was seen throwing crabs into a bucket.
This is naturally a collection point, but after looking for a while, there was really no place to step, so Shi Qingqing pushed the bicycle to the other side.
Looking at the red oyster icon on a certain area, Shi Qingqing couldn't help laughing. This mall is quite interesting.
This was a shallow beach with large exposed reefs. She parked her bicycle in a secluded corner. After taking a few steps, she saw small bubbles constantly popping up under the sand not far away.
Small, but dense.
Sand doesn't produce bubbles, so there must be clams or crabs underneath. She squatted down and dug a few times. Her hand touched a hard shell and she subconsciously pulled it back. It was a crab.
It was not afraid of people and instead raised its body to attack. Shi Qingqing was startled and sat down on the sand. Water seeped in and she found that the crab was trying to run sideways. "No!" Shi Qingqing shouted and pressed down on its back.
