Chapter 79 A Big Mistake
Around noon.
Meng Shuyue sat at the pulse examination seat and felt people's stomachs all morning, but still didn't see a single patient come in.
Compared with yesterday's bustling scene of seeing the doctor, today was just a gust of cool breeze.
The wind made Meng Shuyue feel cold in his heart.
She took today's newspaper and read yesterday's news about her and Bai Qingfeng. She realized that the popularity brought by this news came and went quickly.
If you want to have repeat customers, you must have the real ability to retain patients and eventually spread word of mouth.
If Su Yanyan hadn't caused trouble yesterday, she might have been able to see a few more patients and build up her reputation.
At this time, a fragrance came from the kitchen.
Thinking her daughter would be too busy, Meng's mother came over to help. She killed the duck in the backyard and stewed it into soup for her son-in-law. She also braised the pig's head, which her daughter loved to eat, and put the pig's ears and mouth on the top so that she could have the first bite of her favorite meat.
Meng's mother brought out the meal and handed the white rice to her daughter. She looked at the little girl who used to eat timidly when she first came to the house, but now she had become a greedy girl who ate with big mouthfuls. She smiled but there were tears in her eyes.
"My dear Yuebao, don't choke, eat slowly."
Meng Shuyue rubbed her mother's shoulder like a spoiled child while eating her meal.
"My mother's braised meat is the best, and with this garlic sauce, it's absolutely amazing!"
"Oh, by the way, why don't you eat?"
Mother Meng tapped her forehead, took off her apron and lovingly touched the top of her head, smiling, "Mom will go back first. Your grandma has a headache, so your uncle sent her to the city for us to take care of her for a while, so mom has to go back to take care of her. If the store is busy, go to the supply and marketing cooperative at the intersection and call home to ask your dad to come over to help, okay?"
After that, she gave a few more instructions with concern and walked away, looking back every few steps.
Meng Shuyue looked at his mother's labored steps and couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and blame himself.
My mother had suffered from postpartum illness, and her legs and feet would often ache when the south wind came, but she made her so busy with her own affairs that she had no time to rest.
She wanted to close the shop early at night and go back to see her grandmother who had just come from the countryside, even though her grandmother didn't like her very much.
Meng Shuyue picked up the last piece of pig ear on the plate, rolled it in the garlic sauce mixed with coriander, and then stuffed it into his mouth, filling his mouth with the fragrance.
She ate while getting up with the plate and took it to the kitchen to wash.
At noon, Shen Jinxiao still went back to the Chinese medicine clinic without listening to advice.
He came in from the store entrance specifically just to see Shuyue at first sight.
I saw that the woman who was wearing a beige dress in the morning was now wearing a bean paste pink dress. From the back, she looked like a naughty little girl. Her straight white calves were under the knee-length skirt, and she walked very happily.
If her heels weren't still scratched.
He thought that the little girl would probably run even more happily.
Shen Jinxiao followed her to the kitchen.
Before she could react and just turned around after hearing the sound, Shen Jinxiao couldn't help but peck her lips.
Meng Shuyue quickly covered her lips with the back of her hand and dodged, "Why are you back? I was just eating garlic, don't kiss me..."
Before she could finish, Shen Jinxiao held her face and kissed the woman's palm, which was full of herbal fragrance.
"I feel like vomiting again, so I came back to see you."
His hot breath blew on the woman's palm, and the corners of her eyes turned red.
He not only wanted to vomit, he missed her, he missed her very, very much.
In the army, whether in a meeting indoors or on an inspection outdoors, he seemed to see her figure wherever he went.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
After getting her, I miss her even more and want to be with her all the time.
Shen Jinxiao turned her body over, closed his eyes, and kissed her palm over and over again.
He kissed her until she felt itchy and begged for mercy, so she took her hands away and placed them on his solid chest, smiling with curved eyebrows, "Forget it, it's okay for you to come back at noon. I want to stay at my dad's place tonight, so you can sleep alone tonight."
"What?"
Shen Jinxiao panted and pressed his forehead against hers, his eyes full of resentment, “Don’t go back, okay? I’m not used to sleeping alone.”
Meng Shuyue pushed him, but didn't move.
"You've only stayed at my place for a few nights, and you're not used to it?"
"You won't be able to bear it all night?"
My thoughts were directly pointed out.
Shen Jinxiao pinched her waist and cried bitterly, but this silly girl had no idea of his suffering.
But in order to maintain his image, he took a deep breath, rested his forehead against hers and gently rubbed it, his eyes slowly moving down along the collarbone under her slender white neck, and finally lingering on the bow on the chest of her dress, saying hypocritically, "What nonsense are you talking about? I can't tolerate anything. I can tolerate digging out bullets without anesthesia. How can I not tolerate this?"
"By the way, did something happen to your parents when you went back?"
Shen Jinxiao reluctantly let him go, watching her go to fill the pot with duck soup, and couldn't help but ask her.
The aroma of duck meat filled the kitchen.
Meng Shuyue handed him the prepared duck soup and said with a worried look on her face, "My nipples hurt. I want to go see Song Shijing. He is very professional in treating this disease..."
"puff……"
Shen Jinxiao spurted out a mouthful of duck soup, soaking the little cat that had just strolled over behind him.
The little cat screamed "meow" and its fur stood on end. It jumped into the bucket of water nearby and started splashing around.
"What did you say? You want Song Shijing to see it? Why don't you show it to me?"
Shen Jinxiao's reaction was bigger than that of a kitten. His hair, which had been hanging down smoothly, suddenly stood upside down. He stared at the bow on her chest, his eyes full of shock and anger.
Meng Shuyue didn't understand what was going on. She shrank back in fear at his sudden reaction and said with her neck stiff, "I know you care about the past between me and Song Shijing, but he is indeed an expert in this area. It's okay to ask him to take a look. Besides, you are not a doctor. What's the point of asking you to see a doctor..."
Before she could finish, Shen Jinxiao smashed the bowl in his hand and yelled at her for the first time, "If you dare to show it to him, I will... I will..."
Meng Shuyue stared at the broken bowl on the ground, and the soup that his mother had worked so hard to cook, which was all over the floor. He couldn't help but get angry and yelled at him, "That's my grandma, not yours. I can ask anyone to see it if I want, and you have no right to interfere!"
After she finished yelling, she pushed him away and angrily left the kitchen without paying any more attention to him.
Shen Jinxiao realized later that he had been angry with her in a moment of impulse, so he went out and persuaded her in a soft voice for a long time.
"I'm sorry, honey. I shouldn't have lost my temper, but you have to know that we are a family. Song Shijing is an outsider. How can I let him see it?"
"Or I can apply some ointment on it, maybe it will get better."
Meng Shuyue held her breath and looked at him with resentment, "If applying the medicine will make me better, will I still go to him for treatment?"
After saying that, she turned her head and ignored him, not even looking at him no matter how he tried to persuade her.
Shen Jinxiao held onto the table, almost spitting out blood in anger.
After looking at the time on the wall and then at his wife who was still sulking and refusing to listen, he had no choice but to go to the army with his briefcase, planning to come back in the evening and find a way to stop her from going.
