Chapter 705: Two Roosters
Wang Yumei, sitting on the motorcycle, had tears streaming down her face from the wind. She said, "It's so early, she probably hasn't set up yet, right? Should I go to your clinic and wait for her?"
“She set up her stall around 7 a.m., and it’s already 8:30 now. Just go find her directly.”
"Oh, okay then."
Bai Zhi ignored him and opened the clinic door.
Then they thoroughly cleaned the clinic.
And she had brewed tea for her grandfather in advance.
Then I went to the store across the street and bought some cookies and bread, which I put in my grandfather's drawer.
If there are patients, it's inevitable that seeing them will interfere with meals.
The old man gets irritable when he's hungry, so he usually prepares some snacks like biscuits and bread and keeps them in his drawer.
Just as Bai Zhi had finished preparing everything, Zhou Lin's voice came from the doorway.
"Sister Baizhi, we're back."
Bai Zhi looked towards the door and saw Zhou Lin carrying a suitcase, with her grandfather following behind. The two of them walked in.
"Grandpa, Linlin, you're back?" Bai Zhi greeted them happily.
She took the old man's arm and said, "Grandpa, are you tired? Sit down and rest for a while."
"Not tired." Ye Rufeng seemed to be in fairly good spirits.
There was no obvious sign of fatigue on his face.
Zhou Lin put down her bag, unzipped it, and started taking things out of it.
"Sister Baizhi, this is chili sauce made by my mother, and some food that my father brought for you."
When Bai Zhi saw that Zhou Lin's parents had brought her some things, she smiled and said, "Dr. Zhou and Auntie are so thoughtful."
Ye Rufeng first took a tour of the clinic. Bai Zhi had tidied up the clinic in every way, and there was nothing to criticize.
He said to Zhou Lin, "Alright, put these things away. Don't let the smell linger in the clinic. Let's get to work."
“Okay, Grandpa Ye.” Zhou Lin quickly packed the things back into her bag.
Bai Zhi didn't expect the old man to be so dedicated, immediately going into work mode as soon as he got back. She suggested, "Grandpa, why don't you and Linlin go home and rest for a while, and come back to see patients this afternoon?"
"I'm not tired. I slept all night and my back is straight."
There aren't many people on the train this season, mainly because there are few people in the sleeper berths, and it's quite quiet at night.
I slept very well last night.
I definitely won't be able to sleep right now, and I'm not tired either.
Bai Zhi gave Zhou Lin the house key, telling her to go back and put her things away and change her clothes.
Although they wear white coats when they go to work.
But the girl is very clean, and after sleeping in a sleeper berth overnight, she definitely needs to change her clothes.
Ye Rufeng was also a clean person. He went home with Zhou Lin and changed into a clean and refreshing Tang suit.
Then, instead of rushing into the clinic, he strolled around outside with his hands behind his back, greeting the shop owners on both sides.
People were already playing chess at the chess stall.
Ye Rufeng went over and watched the game for a while.
"Dr. Ye is back?"
Ye Rufeng replied with a smile, "Yes, I'm back. My son's hotel opened, and I went to attend the opening ceremony. I rushed back afterward."
The old man wearing stone glasses said to him, "A lot of patients were waiting here the other day, all looking for you. When they heard you weren't here, they all went home disappointed."
Ye Rufeng smiled and said, "I had no choice but to take a leave of absence."
"If any more patients come in later, please tell them that the clinic is open as usual today."
"Okay, no problem."
Ye Rufeng chatted with someone outside for a couple of minutes before coming in.
Then I sat down and officially started my workday.
He had just sat down when a patient came in.
Ye Rufeng was ready to receive the patient.
However, as soon as the old man came in, he called out to Doctor Xiaobai.
Grandpa Liu and his granddaughter each carried a chicken.
Alive.
"Uncle Liu, what are you doing?"
When Bai Zhi saw the elderly man who had suffered a stroke a few days ago come in carrying two live roosters, she couldn't help but take a step back.
This rooster can peck people!
Grandpa Liu smiled and said to Bai Zhi, "Dr. Bai, these are chickens I raised myself. You see, you cured my illness, and I have nothing to repay you with, so I just brought two chickens from home."
The little girl smiled and chimed in, "Yes, we raised them ourselves. They eat only vegetable leaves and wheat bran, so they're very healthy."
Looking at the simple grandfather and grandson, Bai Zhi felt both touched and heartbroken.
I always find myself unconsciously recalling the little things I did with my grandfather when I was a child.
She quickly calmed herself down and said to them, "Uncle Liu, I can't accept this. You should take it back and keep it. It's such a good rooster, it would be a waste to eat it."
Grandpa Liu's attitude was very firm: "No way, I caught it and brought it back. There's no reason for me to catch it again. This is the meat I'm giving you to eat."
"Yes, Dr. Bai, please accept this. It's a small token of our appreciation from my grandfather."
"Alright, now listen to me." Bai Zhi was afraid that the grandfather and grandson would put the chicken on the ground and it would fly around and be impossible to catch.
“Uncle Liu, you can stay here for treatment. Little sister, you should take the chicken home quickly,” Bai Zhi said. “It would be a waste to kill such a good rooster. Besides, our clinic is open for business now, and patients will be coming in soon. If the chicken flies away, it will cause chaos and affect our business. Moreover, even if you give it to me, I can’t bear to kill it and eat it.”
These two roosters are probably the most important part of the grandfather and grandson's possessions.
Grandpa Liu wanted to say something more, but Bai Zhi looked serious and pointed in the direction where Ye Rufeng was.
She whispered to Grandpa Liu and his grandson, "My maternal grandfather is back. If you don't hurry up and take the chicken back, he'll get angry and won't let me treat your illness."
Grandpa Liu and his granddaughter then noticed the elderly man sitting at the consultation table, with a serious expression and a dignified air.
The grandfather and grandson were a bit conflicted; they had already caught the chicken, and now they wanted them to take it back...
The key issue is that they didn't have anything else of value in their home to repay them.
The only things you can see are these two big roosters.
Bai Zhi felt a little tired. Looking at the little girl, she gently advised, "Little sister, listen to me, quickly take the chicken back, otherwise your grandfather's illness will not be able to continue to be treated here."
The little girl glanced at her grandfather, then at the stern-faced Doctor Ye. In the end, the grandfather and granddaughter could only obey Bai Zhi's words and let the little girl catch the rooster again.
Bai Zhi then said to Grandpa Liu, "Go out through this door, there's a sink behind it. Go wash your hands and face quickly, you'll be receiving treatment soon."
"Okay, okay."
Grandpa Liu went to wash his face. Bai Zhi walked up to Ye Rufeng and explained to him, "Grandpa, this grandpa is a stroke precursor patient I treated a few days ago. His symptoms are facial paralysis and slurred speech. When he came in that day, one of his arms was weak and he needed someone to help him. I gave him acupuncture for three days, and his condition improved. We will continue the treatment today."
