Chapter 76 No Way No Way
Before she could get used to the ginger tea, she discovered that there was an extra letter and half a plate of sugar was missing on the desk in her room.
Um?
letter?
sugar?
Was it left by Huo Jingchuan?
Jiang Cha was a little nervous when he held the envelope.
After she confirmed that the door was indeed locked, she sat down at the desk and opened the envelope.
…
Empty.
"Empty?"
Jiang Cha couldn't believe it. He turned the envelope out and shook it. Sure enough, except for the four big words on the envelope, the envelope was empty.
"No, what's wrong with this guy?"
He just went on a mission, and he even left her an empty letter and took away a handful of candy from her. Was he deliberately asking for trouble?
The fruit bowl was half empty of candies, and her heart seemed to be half empty as well.
Because she was angry, the empty half of her body suddenly seemed less obvious.
Jiang Cha stared at the remaining candies on the plate and began to worry again.
I don't know where Huo Jingchuan is going on this mission. Is it dangerous?
Why are you in such a hurry?
There wasn't even time to say goodbye.
Jiang Cha felt a little stuffy in his heart. Rather than feeling disappointed, he felt more worried.
She was worried about Huo Jingchuan.
At the dinner table, Huo Tingkun and Huo Jingye looked normal, but Ye Surong and Jiang Cha seemed a little uneasy.
Huo Tingkun prepared today's dinner by himself.
Ye Surong was absent-mindedly grinding medicine powder in the living room.
With two soldiers at home, she had to prepare more life-saving medicine.
For dinner, both mother and daughter ate few bites.
"Don't worry, Jingchuan has been training with the new recruits since he was little. At the age of fifteen, he had already completed a difficult mission independently and was awarded a second-class merit. If I hadn't told Commander Ji that he was still young and couldn't be promoted too quickly, his current position would definitely not be just a small deputy regimental commander."
Huo Jingye fully agreed with Huo Tingkun's words.
"My dad is right. My brother is on a mission, and that's a common occurrence. He'll be back in a while. We really don't need to worry too much."
"What's routine? What's nothing to worry about?"
Ye Surong hasn't shown such an expression for a long time.
There was no smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was really angry.
Jiang Cha also put down his chopsticks, firmly stood on his mother's side, and condemned Uncle Huo and Huo Jingye with his eyes.
"My own child, I feel bad for him, you guys go eat!"
Ye Surong stood up and went back to her room. Jiang Cha also stood up and repeated, "You guys go eat!"
Huo Tingkun and Huo Jingye: "..."
Aren't they comforting them?
Is it that so?
Soon, Huo Tingkun knew whether it was that serious or not.
Because Ye Surong hugged her pillow and went to Jiang Cha's room.
With a bang, the door was locked, and the mother and daughter slept together tonight.
Huo Jingye burped.
"Old Huo, how about you sleep with me tonight? I don't mind you."
Huo Tingkun looked at Huo Jingye's flashy outfit and twitched his lips.
"But I despise you!"
Huo Jingye: “!”
Too much!
Huo Jingye put down his chopsticks and said, "Eat your meal."
Today, Huo Tingkun will wash the dishes.
Jiang Cha and Ye Surong were lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Mom, let's open a clinic in the future!"
"What suddenly occurred to you?"
Jiang Cha blinked, because she had thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that, besides weapons, the only thing that could protect the soldiers was doctors!
"When the time comes, we will hang the Ye family's ancestral signboard at the main entrance, and hang the eight-character motto on the outer wall of the clinic: 'Cure three thousand diseases, protect the peace of ten thousand families.'"
"If your grandfather knew what you were thinking, he would be very happy."
Jiang Cha hugged Ye Surong's arm and said, "I think so too."
When Huo Jingchuan is not at home, Jiang Cha is busier every day.
During work, in addition to her normal medical consultations, she would also take time to massage Hou Liping's acupoints to relieve heart pressure.
When she got home from get off work, she would help Ye Surong boil medicine, roll pills, and grind medicine powder. It seemed that as long as she kept herself busy, she would not miss Huo Jingchuan so much.
The thing that bothered her most was that Zhou Cong began to try to make his presence felt in front of her more and more.
Every day when he goes to work, takes a lunch break, and gets off work, it's like he's checking in. He has to come to Jiang Cha to say hello before he's done.
This went on for ten days.
Jiang Cha gets annoyed when she sees him, but he still enjoys it.
At noon that day, a man was suddenly sent into the infirmary, saying that he had suddenly fainted during training.
Jiang Cha had someone put her on the bed in the examination room and saw that the person was Bai Shuyao?
The person who brought her here was a gay man whom Jiang Cha didn't know very well.
The man carried Bai Shuyao all the way to the infirmary and was sweating all over.
"Doctor, please help me take a look, how is she?"
Hou Liping just went to get food.
Jiang Cha was the only one in the infirmary.
She sat beside the bed and took Bai Shuyao's pulse.
The soft fingertips rested on Bai Shuyao's pulse for a long time, and Jiang Cha's beautiful eyebrows became more and more furrowed.
"She fainted from hunger."
At first, Jiang Cha even thought he had seen it wrong.
The salary in the art troupe is high and the benefits are good. Although you have to pay for your own meals, the overall price of food is much cheaper than in state-owned restaurants.
Add to that performance subsidies and various benefits during festivals and holidays, and your salary and benefits already exceed those of 70 to 80 percent of Chinese people.
How could Bai Shuyao faint from hunger?
Jiang Cha couldn't figure it out.
"I'm going to give her some glucose first. Do you want to stay here with her or go back to work first?"
While asking this question, Jiang Cha went to the medicine cabinet to get medicine.
Glucose in this era comes in glass bottles, and they are particularly large.
She had to use a syringe to first extract a certain amount of glucose from the large infusion bottle and divide it into the small infusion bottle. Then she had to use glucose water to dissolve the powder in the ampoule, suck it out, and mix it thoroughly with the glucose water in the small infusion bottle.
Jiang Cha was busy with his work, but he had to distract himself to ask questions.
"Comrade, please answer my question, thank you."
"Ah? Oh, I have to go back to work. Bai Shuyao, I'll trouble you, Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Cha originally wanted this man to help fill out a registration form for Bai Shuyao, but now it seems that he can only wait for Bai Shuyao to wake up and fill it out herself.
"OK."
She replied politely and prepared the medicine in a short while.
IV tube, tourniquet, medical tape, iodine, tweezers and cotton balls.
The small medical tray was filled with tools, and Jiang Cha put an IV drip on Bai Shuyao.
This man was quite efficient. He watched Jiang Cha insert the needle into the back of Bai Shuyao's hand before leaving.
When Hou Liping came back, she found that there was a new patient in the infirmary.
When she heard that she fainted from hunger, Hou Liping sighed regretfully.
"This little girl, two days ago, when I was getting my lunch, I saw her secretly eating some coarse-grain steamed bread. You see, young people nowadays, even if they want to look beautiful or lose weight, shouldn't abuse their bodies like this!"
"How do you know she's trying to lose weight? What if she's really poor?"
After all, Zhou Cong no longer gives gifts.
The more Jiang Cha thought about it, the more she felt that it was most likely because Bai Shuyao had no money, and Zhou Cong, who didn't want to pay but wanted to get a partner for free, forced Bai Shuyao into this situation.
In her previous life, she was able to help Jiang Guodong close so many deals just by relying on her face. Jiang Cha was not the kind of person who was unaware of her beauty.
On the contrary, she is very aware of the advantages that her face can bring to her.
However, her experiences in her previous life had made her tired of this method. She didn't like using her face to achieve a certain goal at all.
From this, it can be seen that Zhou Cong's determination to take her down is real, and Bai Shuyao...
In all likelihood, he and Zhou Cong have already broken up.
Jiang Cha thought, now, we can move on to the next step.
Bai Shuyao woke up halfway through the drip.
She never expected that the first person she saw after waking up would be Jiang Cha.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Cha found it funny. "You are my patient now. If I am not here, can I still go to your house?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot, you don't have a home now."
"you……"
Bai Shuyao finally woke up, but was almost fainted by Jiang Cha's anger.
"Young man, calm down and talk it over nicely!"
Jiang Cha had just finished his meal and was filling in Bai Shuyao's medical records.
She knows the basic information.
The most important thing is not the basic information, but money!
"The clinic is free for everyone, but you still have to pay for basic medication. It's not much, just five cents. Remember to settle the bill with Doctor Hou after you finish the IV."
Hou Liping was in charge of the clinic's finances, and Jiang Cha never asked about it.
Bai Shuyao wanted to pull out the needle on the spot.
"You gave me the IV without my consent, so why should I pay you?"
Ginger tea: “…”
It sounds reasonable.
"Bai Shuyao, you're not so poor that you can't even afford five cents, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're the poor one who doesn't even have a nickel!"
"Your stomach is empty, but your throat is still quite loud. It seems that you are indeed well now. Remember to pay the bill later!"
She was busy and had no time to chat with Bai Shuyao.
"Ginger Tea, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Only now do you realize she did it on purpose?
Bai Shuyao is not as smart as she thought!
"What do you mean by intentional?" Jiang Cha looked innocent, pretending not to understand at all. "You don't have a fever, so why don't I understand what you're saying?"
Isn’t it just suffering in silence?
Why can't Bai Shuyao eat what she eats?
As long as Jiang Cha doesn't break this layer of window paper and keeps pretending that he doesn't know that Bai Shuyao and Zhou Cong know each other, Bai Shuyao will have to swallow her anger and keep this loss in her stomach without revealing anything.
This woman definitely did it on purpose.
Bai Shuyao was almost mad. Jiang Cha was clearly mocking her, and she couldn't refute him.
Who told her she was poor?
The five-cent medical bill completely stumped her.
That bastard Zhou Cong took away all the money she had left.
"Bai Shuyao, you're the mainstay of the art troupe. You can't possibly be forced to buy on credit even for five cents, right?"
“…”
