When Ji Yu'an saw Su Nianmei, he raised his hands from the back of the chair and called out "Meimei" freely.
Zhong Yi twisted his neck, which was tied like a mummy, vigorously, "Brother An, do you two know each other?"
Su Nianmei said, "Brother Ji has helped me several times."
Zhong Yi nodded, "That's really a coincidence."
There was a familiar smell in the air.
Zhong Yi twisted his body and forced himself to the side of the pool. He hugged the edge of the pool, held on to it tightly, and sniffed hard with his nose.
"Do you still want to make up for it?" Ji Yu'an was a little angry.
This brat pushed his wheelchair downstairs while I was washing my hands. I should have broken his legs earlier so that people wouldn't have to look for him all day long.
Zhong Yi leaned against the sink and turned his head towards Su Nianmei. "Is this peach kernel and cooked rehmannia glutinosa porridge?"
Su Nianmei replied, "Exactly."
Zhong Yi continued, "Peach kernel is bitter and neutral in nature, and it benefits the heart. Rehmannia glutinosa is sweet and warm, and it benefits the liver. It nourishes the blood and yin, and replenishes the essence and moisturizes the marrow. Has anyone in the girl's family ever had brain surgery?"
"My child fell down the stairs and had a minor operation. I cooked some medicinal food to help him recover."
In her previous life, Su Nianmei's grandmother was not in good health, so she went to seek out a Chinese medicine doctor, looked up information, and learned many medicinal food recipes. She had a rough idea of them, but she didn't expect that they would come in handy in this life.
Zhong Yi looked at her with a somewhat strange look. Due to the unrest in the past few years, most of the recipes for medicinal diets had been lost. This peach kernel and rehmannia glutinosa porridge was made by her grandfather when she was a child. If people talk about it many times, you will remember it.
Thinking of the old man, Zhong Yi's eyes dimmed, and then turned his gaze to Su Nianmei. If the old man saw her, he might be very surprised.
Zhong Yi reached into his hospital gown for a long time, then took out a small card and handed it to Su Nianmei.
Su Nianmei took a look and found it was a business card. The first thing that caught her eye was the words "Zhong Yi" written in black regular script, followed by a line of small words "Deputy Manager of Furentang" below.
Su Nianmei looked up again and unconsciously glanced at Zhong Yi twice more. Furentang was also a large enterprise in later generations, but it suddenly declared bankruptcy for unknown reasons. This matter was discussed for a long time in their unit at the time, and Su Nianmei also listened to it.
Ji Yu'an looked at his watch, exchanged a few words with Su Nianmei, and prepared to push Zhong Yi away. When Zhong Yi left, he yelled at Su Nianmei to find him.
Su Nianmei looked at the landline number on the business card, smiled, and put it in her pocket.
**
After washing the jars, Su Nianmei returned to Xiaobao's ward. Gu Xichao was hugging Gu Xiaobao. Two figures, one big and one small, were lying on the hospital bed. Gu Xichao's legs were still on the edge of the bed, and his long legs seemed a little restrained.
Most of the quilt was covering Gu Xiaobao, leaving Gu Xichao's body exposed.
Su Nianmei frowned, gently approached the bed, bent down, pulled the quilt over to cover Gu Xichao.
Just as she pulled the corner of the quilt, Su Nianmei's wrist was grabbed by someone.
Su Nianmei leaned over and pressed against Gu Xichao, who groaned. There was only a thin quilt between the two of them.
Gu Xichao opened her eyes alertly, they were so dark that they seemed to be able to trap her.
The warm breath hit Su Nianmei's wrist, making it itchy.
Su Nianmei's long hair fluttered down, sweeping across the back of Gu Xichao's hand, and seemed to sweep across the tip of his heart again and again.
The soldier standing at the door raised his hand and was about to report, but Gu Xichao glanced over and the soldier quietly retreated and considerately closed the door for them.
The door made a soft bang. Su Nianmei's hands trembled and she struggled to get up. Gu Xichao let go of her hands, but was reluctant to do so. He lowered his voice and said, "Be good, don't make trouble."
The magnetic voice hit her ears and stirred ripples in her heart.
Su Nianmei stood up quickly. Gu Xichao saw that Su Nianmei looked a little flustered, and a smile flashed across his lips.
He sat up slowly and straightened his collar. My back was a little tense and I coughed a few times.
Xiao Fang at the door heard the coughing sound, opened the door again, and walked in with a fruit basket in his hand.
Su Nianmei took the fruit basket handed to her by Xiao Fang and placed it on the table, and also poured a glass of water for Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang didn't expect Su Nianmei to be so easy-going. He had heard from people around him that Captain Gu married a she-tiger, a country girl who was fierce and unsophisticated. Xiao Fang was flattered and surprised by Su Nianmei's treatment. His butt bounced up again after sitting on the chair. He clenched his hands and saluted Su Nianmei. His voice was still a little childish, but it was already more adult-like. "Hello, sister-in-law! I'm Xiao Fang."
Su Nianmei looked at the tense look of this young man. He was just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was so nervous. He glanced at the fruit basket, broke off a banana and handed it to Xiao Fang.
"Xiao Fang, we don't have anything good to treat you here, so I'll just take the flowers and offer them to you. Come on, have a banana. You must be tired after being here for so long."
Xiao Fang glanced at Gu Xichao, and when he saw him nod, he took it. The whole person stood there, holding a banana in both hands, like a statue. His voice was tight, and his face showed a standard eight-tooth smile, "Sister-in-law, how do you know I like to eat bananas? In the camp, everyone calls me Monkey."
Su Nianmei looked at the dark and thin Xiao Fang and smiled, but didn't respond. She was afraid that she would be too reserved in front of Xiao Fang, so she patted Xiao Fang's shoulder and said, "You guys sit down and chat. I'll go out and do something and be back soon."
Xiao Fang, who got the banana, felt a little elated. His sister-in-law was a beautiful and kind person. Those girls in the city were not even a bit better than her. Those who said bad things about her must be jealous of her! If anyone dares to say bad things about his sister-in-law again, Fang Houzi will be the first to rush up and bite him to death.
Um! Bite him to death!
As he thought about it, he squeezed the banana in his hand with a vicious expression. When he looked up, he saw his battalion commander's eyes slowly glancing over his shoulder.
For some reason, Xiao Fang felt a little nervous. He threw the ointment down, gave some instructions and left.
When Xiao Fang walked, his feet felt like the wind was blowing under his feet, as if a vicious dog was chasing him.
Su Nianmei has not figured out how to face Gu Xichao. He had just confessed his love to her on the night he went out on the mission, and now Gu Xiaobao was injured again. Su Nianmei's mind was a little confused, and she stood on the terrace enjoying the wind.
From a distance, Ma Fang was seen walking towards him with a basket of eggs. When she saw Su Nianmei, she waved at him.
Su Nianmei also waved to her and walked over slowly.
"Big sister, how is our little treasure?"
"Xiaobao is doing well. The operation went well. The doctor said that if he is fine after two days of observation, he can be discharged from the hospital."
Ma Fang smiled, and the flesh on her body trembled. "Well, as long as the child is fine, safety is a blessing!" She stuffed the basket of eggs into Su Nianmei's hands.
Su Nianmei didn't want it at first, but Ma Fang stuffed it into her hands and said, "Big sister, listen to your sister-in-law. Take it. This is for Xiaobao. You must take it."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Su Nianmei took it and said, "Sister-in-law, look at you. You came here just for the sake of your intention. I will thank Xiaobao's aunt on his behalf."
Ma Fang patted herself and said, "Hey, what's there to thank me for? We're neighbors, just a token of my appreciation." She then said to Su Nianmei in a serious tone, "Xiaomei, isn't it almost Mid-Autumn Festival? Our hospital wants to put on a show this year to compete with the art troupe. Xiaobao is in this situation right now, and you've just joined the company and are still a temporary worker."
Su Nianmei felt vaguely uneasy when she heard this.
Ma Fang continued, "I've thought about it and decided to let you show us your skills. This decision has also been supported by the hospital. We still have two weeks to prepare. Work hard and make our hospital proud." She didn't stop there, so she pulled Su Nianmei and leaned over to her ear and said, "When you become famous, good jobs will follow."
When Su Nianmei heard that she was asked to perform a solo performance, her breath got stuck in her throat, but she still smiled at Ma Fang.
Ma Fang thought Su Nianmei smiled, maybe she agreed to this matter, and then said, "Then it's settled. It's still not too late to go to the purchasing office after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sister-in-law, say hello to them, and you just need to prepare for the performance."
The author has something to say: Is Su Nianmei’s inner performance? I'm afraid he wants me to die on the spot!
Don’t believe the part about medicinal food. Although peach kernel and cooked rehmannia glutinosa porridge is suitable for people who have undergone brain surgery, it is still better to be cautious. It is just a novel and don’t take it seriously!
