Chapter 517: I'm Not Your Mother
As the acupuncture time passed, the child's complexion gradually returned to normal.
Bai Zhi patted the child's cheek and said, "Little one, can you hear me? Open your eyes."
The child lying in Lu Ye's arms slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the young woman's face magnified before him, he softly parted his lips, "Mom?"
Those two short words brought tears to the eyes of everyone present.
Bai Zhi: "I'm not your mother, I'm a nurse."
Everyone, "..."
"Okay, don't move yet, I'm going to remove the needle."
After Bai Zhi removed the needles, she said to Lu Ye, "Pick up the child, it's too cold outside."
As soon as Lu Ye picked up the child, he discovered that the child had urinated.
Bai Zhi explained, "This is a very normal phenomenon."
People with epilepsy are very prone to urinary incontinence during seizures.
The neighbors who were watching were mostly military officers and their families. Everyone applauded Bai Zhi for being so effective in restoring the child in just a few minutes.
"Xiao Bai, your medical skills are quite good."
"No wonder everyone says that Deputy Battalion Commander Lu was cured by his lover."
"Now you believe it, right? Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's wife is indeed a very capable doctor."
Bai Zhi stood up, packed her medical kit, and smiled modestly, "You flatter me."
Lu Ye carried the child into Liu Guifang's house and put him on the bed. Bai Zhi followed closely behind.
Liu Guifang and her son Xiao Kai were terrified just now.
Especially Xiao Kai, a fourteen-year-old boy, whose face turned deathly pale.
He was afraid his mother would scold him.
"Xiaobai, thank you so much. You have no idea how fast my heart was pounding."
Liu Guifang's voice was trembling with tears, "You said Political Commissar Zhang left the child at my house, and I'm looking after him. What if something goes wrong? Political Commissar Zhang only has this one child."
Her son, Yang Kai, regained his composure and mustered his courage to suggest, "Mom, please don't bring Zhang Wei home anymore."
Liu Guifang disagreed with her son's opinion, saying, "Can we really leave him alone? Political Commissar Zhang is away at work, and the child is left alone at home, unable to even eat. I can't bear to see him like that."
Bai Zhi was deeply moved by Liu Guifang's enthusiasm.
She truly represents the most representative kind and simple neighbor of this era.
Even though she was almost scared to death just now, she never considered abandoning her child in the future.
Bai Zhi observed the little boy lying on the bed again, took his pulse, and confirmed that he had passed the flare-up. She comforted Liu Guifang, "Sister Liu, it's alright, the child will be fine after a while."
Liu Guifang breathed a deep sigh of relief and said softly to the child on the bed, "Xiaowei, quickly thank Aunt Xiaobai."
Xiao Wei's face was a little pale, but he was already clear-headed. He called out in a clear voice, "Thank you, angel in white, auntie."
"You're welcome."
"You should get some rest. Your aunt and uncle are leaving now."
As the couple left Liu Guifang's house, the neighbors in the residential compound all planned to go in and visit Xiaowei.
Bai Zhi said the child was resting, so everyone stopped.
Wang Yumei was also in the crowd, and her gaze towards Bai Zhi now held a hint of inquiry.
Can they really diagnose illnesses?
It must have been a lucky coincidence.
What kind of illnesses could she possibly treat at such a young age?
When Lu Ye and Bai Zhi returned home, Bai Zhi curiously inquired about the situation of Political Commissar Zhang's family.
When this topic was brought up, Lu Ye's expression became serious.
After a few seconds of silence, he spoke in a heavy tone, "His lover sacrificed herself."
"What?" Bai Zhi's heart clenched upon hearing this news.
They sacrificed themselves...
That word was the one she feared most.
"His wife was a military doctor who died in an accident."
Lu Ye said, "That was three years ago, when the child was only three years old."
"At the time, the child was visiting his family with his mother when they encountered thugs attacking the police. Commissar Zhang's wife stepped forward and unfortunately sacrificed her life. The child suffered a head injury at the time, and the shock caused him to develop epilepsy."
After Lu Ye finished speaking, the two of them fell silent.
Bai Zhi didn't know what to say either.
The young child witnessed his mother fall and was injured himself; this will be a trauma that will last a lifetime.
Lu Ye took her hand and looked at her softly, saying, "Xiao Bai, I originally planned to wait until you had a few days of rest before introducing you to Political Commissar Zhang and his son, so you could see how the child was doing. I didn't expect the child to fall ill today."
"Can this child's condition be cured?" he asked Bai Zhi.
Although he knew that Angelica dahurica had been used to treat this type of disease, everyone's condition is different, and traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes diagnosis and treatment based on syndrome differentiation.
Bai Zhi said, "It can be treated. His condition is similar to that of Gu Jingyi's niece, Niu Niu. Niu Niu has already stopped taking medication and is going to school normally."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lu Ye immediately felt relieved.
"It's good that it can be cured. We'll talk to Political Commissar Zhang when he gets back."
Bai Zhi had just knelt on the ground to save someone, and her pants were covered in dirt. Lu Ye told her to take them off so they could test the new washing machine.
She changed her clothes and handed them to Lu Ye, saying, "Put all the new sheets and duvet covers I bought in to wash."
"good."
The couple turned on the TV, fiddled with the washing machine, and checked if the refrigerator was cooling.
These are all appliances they already have at home, so they are not new to them.
But for Lu Ye, settling down in the military has a different meaning.
"Honey, you've spent so much money, are you out of cash?"
Bai Zhi watched TV and cracked sunflower seeds, her tone relaxed, "If there's no money, we can earn more."
The money for the refrigerator and washing machine came from the money given to her by everyone before she arrived, plus some savings she had at home.
But it wasn't all spent.
After the New Year, I started working again, and my income was more than enough.
She didn't care about wealth or status in this life; she only wanted to protect him and those great warriors.
Therefore, their material requirements are not that high.
Lu Ye felt bad because his wife had spent money, so he said, "I still have two months' salary left, I'll withdraw it and spend it tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll buy us some New Year's goods."
The two sat on the small sofa watching TV, enjoying their cozy and happy time together.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, someone knocked on the door.
Lu Ye got up and opened the door.
The middle-aged man standing at the door, looking travel-worn, was Political Commissar Zhang.
He looked to be around forty years old, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and stood at the doorway, looking extremely tired.
"Xiao Lu, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
Political Commissar Zhang was his direct superior, and Lu Ye was not used to his polite attitude. "No need to disturb you, please come in."
Political Commissar Zhang was ushered into the room, and his experienced eyes immediately fell on Bai Zhi.
Lu Ye introduced, "Political Commissar Zhang, this is my wife, Bai Zhi."
"Xiao Bai, this is Political Commissar Zhang."
"Hello, Political Commissar Zhang, please have a seat." Bai Zhiluo gracefully invited him to sit down, and then poured tea.
Unlike other neighbors in the family compound, as the political commissar of the regiment, he had heard of Bai Zhi's great reputation when Lu Ye was receiving treatment at the military hospital.
Seeing her face for the first time today, he was still surprised, "Your wife looks very young."
