Seven days later, a new round of follow-up examinations began.
Gu Sinian and Su Ying went to the door together to greet them.
Dr. Dong got out of the military green vehicle and saw the two standing not far away. Gu Sinian's expression was even better than last time.
He trotted up to him and chattered on about his stay of the past seven days, saying, "Comrade Su, your medicine is really effective, much better than my tranquilizers."
"Since we started using your supplementary medication, we've hardly needed to use sedatives anymore, which has eased the shortage of sedatives in our hospital."
"Moreover, the medicinal herbs are cheap and easy to grow, which has really helped me a lot."
"And another thing is that those young soldiers were going through a really tough time in the final stage, and many of them were on the verge of giving up. But after using your Chinese medicine, they made it through the final stage and successfully quit drugs. It's unbelievable."
“I have been exposed to Western medicine since I was a child, and my parents’ generation also studied Western medicine. I never imagined that traditional Chinese medicine in our country is so profound and could have such unexpected effects.”
"More than that. Even Western medicine couldn't cure Gu Sinian's poison. I saved his life by using the secret medicine left by my grandmother."
The mere mention of this secret medicine caused Dong E great distress, and unwilling to give up, he inquired about it again.
"That medicine... really didn't leave any trace?"
"No. Not a single drop was left; it all went into Gu Sinian's stomach, and the bottle was thrown away."
"Where did you throw it?"
Su Ying knew what Dr. Dong wanted to do and blocked all his escape routes.
"Finding the bottle was no use. My grandma said the ingredients of this secret medicine were extremely expensive, and I couldn't bear to keep a single drop. I rinsed the bottle with water, and he drank the water that came out. I felt really bad about it."
Dr. Dong finally gave up.
"Actually, the medicine you gave me is very beneficial to the young soldier's health."
"Although it's the regular version you mentioned, it's still pretty good. At least it solved a big problem for us recently."
"Let's not talk about that... Is there a bit too much stuff this time?"
“Your husband says he’s a man… so he needs to give you bigger portions, otherwise he won’t be full.”
"Oh, I see. Don't send me supplies next time."
Why?
"You'll know once you give my husband a checkup. If the estimate is correct, he can be discharged next week."
"That's amazing. Let me take a look."
Dr. Dong quickened his pace to set up the room, and as soon as Gu Sinian entered, he began to examine him.
He's healthier than he expected. He could go home now, let alone in a week.
"It's incredible! Comrade Gu's health has really recovered very well, and his nutrition is also up to par. I never expected that Comrade Su is such a good cook."
"I can't cook."
"What? Could it be... that Comrade Gu has been cooking for you all this time, and his body can't handle it?"
Su Ying nodded, "He can manage. I don't think there's any problem. He started cooking on his first day here and has been doing it ever since."
Dong was shocked. Quitting drugs is supposed to be a very difficult thing, but for the couple, it had become a sweet and harmonious life.
It seems they can start a new track in the future: getting family members involved in drug rehabilitation will be much more effective.
"Actually, I've examined Comrade Gu's body. He's recovered very well and can go home now. He's successfully overcome his drug addiction. Congratulations..."
Su Ying jumped up excitedly, "Really? That's wonderful!"
"It's true, Comrade Gu is healthy enough to be discharged. But you should stay here for another week to recuperate and get your faces back a bit, so your family won't worry so much."
"Now that you're all better, I won't make another trip next week. Once you've used up the supplies, go back home. Someone will come to collect the house then."
"OK."
The people Dr. Dong brought didn't stay long before leaving. As usual, Gu Sinian locked the front door, went into the living room, and placed all the supplies on the floor.
After tidying up their things, Gu Sinian and Su Ying entered the space hand in hand.
The two were in a good mood, and Gu Sinian had successfully kicked his drug habit, so they decided to have hot pot today.
The two looked at the ingredients that Dr. Dong had brought over and examined them for a while, trying to see if there were any ingredients that could be used to make hot pot.
I was shocked when I opened it. "Dr. Dong is more and more generous each time."
"Maybe I brought your prescription as a token of my appreciation."
Su Ying was speechless. "My prescription wasn't for him, so why should I ask for anything in return?"
“He is a doctor… He was happy to receive such a good prescription that could save his comrade, so he generously donated money as a token of gratitude. We don’t need to feel guilty.”
Su Ying found a very beautiful mushroom, and she was overjoyed.
"Wow! Dr. Dong is really good at this, these are mushrooms... How did he get them?"
Gu Sinian didn't think much of it; he just happened to see it while shopping and bought it for them to try.
"This isn't common in Beijing, but it's not a rare breed either. How would you like to eat it?"
"Of course, you eat it in a hot pot! Mushrooms with hot pot are absolutely amazing!"
"Alright. Anyway, I'm almost fully recovered. These last few days are for consolidation, so it's fine to cook more time-consuming and laborious dishes."
"Can I skip that medicinal bath today? I'm so tired from soaking it that my skin is practically peeling off."
It's not impossible to skip one soaking.
Su Ying agreed without hesitation, "Alright, I'll let you rest for a day. Starting tomorrow, I'll change your prescription for a bath. After a few more days of this to consolidate the effect, your body will be fine."
"Okay. I'll do whatever you say."
After discussing it, Gu Sinian and Su Ying started making the hot pot base. Two hours later, they enjoyed the delicious hot pot.
The hot pot was made by Gu Sinian under Su Ying's guidance, and the man was very pleased.
"You can't cook, right? How did you come up with such a great idea?"
Su Ying felt guilty for a moment. She had only made the hot pot base based on her memories from her previous life; she had no idea how to make this.
"It was developed from Grandma's medicinal cuisine. I'm just passing it on. You have no idea how good my cooking is."
"So that's how it is."
Su Ying took a deep breath. It's so great to have a great doctor grandma. She can push all the problems onto her and feel perfectly at ease without any guilt.
Her grandmother was already very capable...
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Teach me how to eat this."
"good."
Su Ying told Gu Sinian how to eat hot pot, and then she couldn't wait to start eating the mushrooms.
"Mushrooms must be thoroughly cooked before eating, otherwise they can cause food poisoning."
Gu Sinian tried to stop her, but Su Ying loved those mushrooms and finished them in no time.
