At the Jin family home, Jin's mother lay on the bed, slapping her legs in frustration, feeling extremely anxious.
Her son has been gone for three days and hasn't come back. She knows something must have happened.
Jin Ling had already gone out to look for him, visiting all her relatives and friends, but still couldn't find him.
Jin Ling sat dejectedly on the steps in the courtyard, her eyes slightly red. She could only cry silently, afraid of disturbing her mother and making her even more worried.
She couldn't find anyone, and she was at her wit's end. Besides, the family's food supplies were almost gone...
"Knock knock. Lingling, are you home?" Su Xiao came to give Jin's mother a follow-up visit today. Although she has been very busy these past few days, she has not forgotten about Jin's mother's illness.
After all, this was the first patient she had personally treated, and she was determined to take full responsibility for her.
Jin Ling jolted awake, suddenly remembering something. She immediately stood up and rushed to the door, "Yes, sister, I'm here."
"Sister, you've arrived." Jin Ling opened the door, her voice trembling with excitement.
"Lingling, let me check on your mother. Is she feeling better?" Su Xiao said, handing her a bag of hot pan-fried buns. "These were leftovers from this morning. We can't finish them, and they won't be fresh if they're left out for too long. Lingling, please help your sister finish them."
The pan-fried buns were specially reserved for them; there was no way they wouldn't sell out, there weren't enough to go around.
“My mom is much better now,” Jin Ling answered Su Xiao’s question, taking the pan-fried buns Su Xiao handed her. An indescribable emotion welled up inside her, and she said in a choked voice, “Thank you, sister.”
She knew that her sister had brought these buns for them specially; how could such delicious buns not sell?
Seeing her like this, Su Xiao was at a loss. Going up to comfort her seemed a bit awkward, so she could only awkwardly change the subject, "Let's go in and see your mother."
"Yes, please, sister." Jin Ling couldn't worry about these things anymore. In the end, she only had one thought: she must repay her sister's kindness in the future.
When Su Xiao saw Jin's mother again and noticed her pale face, she asked nervously and incredulously, "Auntie, did the medicine I prescribed not work?"
"No, I'm much better now," Mrs. Jin quickly shook her head in denial.
"Why do you look so pale? That shouldn't be the case. Let me take your pulse again." Su Xiao frowned and took her pulse with a serious expression.
Mrs. Jin said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was worried about my son, so I haven't been sleeping well these past two days, which is why I look a little pale. Comrade Su, your medical skills are excellent; it's just that I'm not good enough..."
Su Xiao's expression softened upon hearing this. She carefully took her pulse, asked about her condition over the past two days, and examined her complexion and tongue coating before saying, "Sleep quality is a very important factor for health. If you don't sleep well, you'll be restless, which is very harmful to your health, especially since you're already sick. Auntie, you need to relax, otherwise the effectiveness of the medication will be greatly reduced."
Mrs. Jin's eyes flickered with shame. She knew all too well that her son's situation made it impossible for her to remain calm.
Su Xiao considered her situation carefully, took out a notebook from her bag, and wrote down another prescription. This was a record of the patient's case information that she had kept herself.
She said, "I'll prescribe three more days' worth of medicine, Lingling. Come back with me to get it. Auntie, please take your medicine properly and relax, then you'll recover faster."
Su Xiao got up, intending to leave.
