Li Qiumei pricked up her ears and listened.
There was only Lin Zhiya's voice, and it was coming downstairs.
It seems that she is chasing Cheng Zhiqian again.
Li Qiumei took out the medicine from her trouser pocket and took a pill.
It looks like my discharge from the hospital may have to be delayed for a few days.
Li Qiumei fell asleep as soon as she lay down.
The next morning, as soon as she opened her eyes, the aunt next door told her.
"Xiao Li, Director Lin came to see you last night after you fell asleep."
"What?" Li Qiumei turned over and sat up.
"Auntie, you said Director Lin came over last night?"
The aunt nodded.
"So what did she do? Did she say anything?"
"Director Lin said he came to see you, and he even covered you with a blanket before leaving.
I wanted to wake you up, but Director Lin said it was not necessary.
She said she came to see you and wanted you to have a good rest.
Xiao Li, are you a relative of Director Lin? "
"no."
Li Qiumei looked at the quilt carefully, feeling a little uneasy.
"Could Lin Zhiya have tampered with the quilt?
Oh my god, this is so scary!
If Lin Zhiya had secretly injected her with an injection, she would have died and no one would have known the cause of death."
Li Qiumei feels that these days, without electronic eyes, the police not only have backward equipment but also have low levels of investigation.
It was originally the safest hospital, but now it has become the most dangerous place because it is an eyesore to Lin Zhiya.
Li Qiumei admitted that she was a coward. If she couldn't afford to provoke someone, she could hide away.
"Should I be discharged from the hospital immediately?" Li Qiumei was conflicted.
Dr. Mao asked the nurse to notify Li Qiumei to go to her office.
She examined Li Qiumei and said, "The redness and swelling have subsided, but the skin here has ulcerated again.
I guess you applied the ointment too thickly on this area, causing it to burn and break the skin.
You won't be able to leave the hospital tomorrow.
You need to take anti-inflammatory injections for two more days."
Li Qiumei asked her, "Doctor Mao, something happened at home. I want to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate. Do you think that's okay?"
Doctor Mao looked at her seriously and said, "This piece of skin was just red and swollen yesterday, but it started to fester today.
If it's not treated properly and becomes inflamed, it could cause the scab-covered skin nearby to ulcerate again. In severe cases, the toe might need to be amputated."
"What? Such a minor injury could mean you have to amputate your toes?
Oh, forget it, forget it!
Doctor Mao, I'd better stay in the hospital."
Doctor Mao nodded and said, "Come to my office in the next two days and I will help you apply the ointment."
"Thank you, Dr. Mao!" Li Qiumei was glad that she discovered it early that day, otherwise it would have been dangerous by the time one of her feet was swollen.
After lunch, Cheng Zhiqian came over.
"What did Dr. Mao say today?"
Li Qiumei was a little worried: "Doctor Mao said that I can't be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
"Then listen to the doctor and go back after you're cured.
We are going to Da Shuang's house today. Didn't you say last time that you would teach him how to make braised noodles? "
Li Qiumei looked at him and said, "Cheng Zhiqian, aren't you going to work today?"
"Today is the weekend, take a rest!"
"Oh, all right then."
When the two men arrived at the hospital gate, they were immediately surrounded by several half-grown children pulling wheelbarrows.
"Auntie, are you going to Hanjiashan?"
"Would you like to ride a unicycle?"
Li Qiumei spotted Hei Xiaowu watching others play chess not far away.
"Hei Xiaowu." Li Qiumei waved at him.
Hei Xiaowu didn't hear it. The man next to him pushed him and pointed at Li Qiumei.
Hei Xiaowu ran over immediately.
“Auntie, are you going to Dashuang’s house?”
Li Qiumei nodded.
Sitting on the unicycle, Hei Xiaowu talked incessantly about the Dashuang family.
"Auntie, Dashuang's business has been booming these past two days.
I heard that their family got a secret recipe from an old chef.
They cooked the fish Xiaoshuang caught and sold it to customers.
There is crucian carp soup and fried small fish.
The guests ate it and kept praising it.
My grandmother said that the Dashuang family is going to make a fortune soon."
Li Qiumei looked at Cheng Zhiqian and said, "Neither of us is old.
How did it get spread like this? "
Cheng Zhiqian grinned but said nothing.
When we arrived at Dashuang's house, only Grandma Han was at home.
"Zhiqian, Qiumei, come in quickly."
Grandma Han poured them two cups of tea.
"Aren't the two older brothers at home?"
"I went out to fish. There were a lot of customers coming to eat fish these past two days, but there wasn't enough fish to sell."
Grandma Han was a little worried. She came over with a sieve and sat aside to pick out soybeans.
"Auntie, do you still make your own tofu?"
"Well, isn't tofu supposed to go in this fish soup?
I still have some soybeans at home, so I make them myself in my free time. If I'm too busy, I go to the end of the village to buy ready-made ones from Wang Douhua."
Li Qiumei told Grandma Han: "This fish soup can be put into more than just tofu. If you don't like tofu, you can put cabbage hearts or other vegetables in it."
Grandma Han was delighted when she heard this: "Is that so? Next time I'll try to see what dishes taste good.
Alas, the biggest headache now is where to catch fish? "
Grandma Han poured the picked soybeans into a cloth bag, tied the bag tightly, and carried it to the room next to the kitchen.
After a while, a sieve of shelled peanuts was brought out.
She grabbed a handful and gave it to Cheng Zhiqian and Li Qiumei: "Eat some peanuts."
Grandma Han sat down and peeled peanuts.
