A week ago, he even brought his pregnant wife to their hospital for a check-up.
After a quick glance at each other, Xiaorou suppressed the bitterness in her heart and walked past them silently.
Thinking of this, Xiaorou felt sad in her heart and her ankle was in great pain.
The man's broad and strong arms were so close to her. For a moment, Xiaorou wanted to lean on them to soothe her aching heart.
Finally they arrived at the state-owned hotel. Lu Yuanshan took Xiaorou's letter of introduction and specially asked for a room next to theirs for her.
Seeing the safflower oil on the desk of the receptionist, he smiled and took out the dried meat and fruit candies that Lu Zhiye had given him from his pocket.
"Big sister, this jerky is made by us. How does it taste?"
The lady at the front desk has a vigilant look on her face. If someone is being attentive for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!!!
She has been a receptionist for so many years and has outlasted many leaders, but she is still fine. It's all thanks to her vigilance.
Look at this man and woman, they look like decent people, but the man uses so many good things to bribe himself.
Maybe they are a couple who have sneaked out without a marriage certificate and are afraid of being caught, so they want her to cover for them!!!
Lu Yuanshan also saw through her thoughts, and fearing that he would be misunderstood, he quickly said, "Sister, my friend has sprained his foot, and I want to borrow the safflower oil on your table.
We won’t use them for nothing, we’ll give you these things in exchange.”
The eldest sister looked at Xiaorou's feet with some suspicion, and when she saw that they were swollen like steamed buns, her doubts were dispelled.
He quickly handed over the safflower oil on the table: "Take it and use it. This is also something someone left in the room before."
Lu Yuanshan thanked her in a deep voice and asked the lady at the front desk to help Xiaorou into his room.
Then he put the dried meat and some fruit candies in a box at the front desk.
The lady at the front desk enthusiastically helped Xiaorou push away the safflower oil and watched her clench her teeth without saying a word.
I couldn’t help but sigh: “You are quite tolerant, little girl.
It's so swollen that even a grown man would have to cry out."
A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on Xiaorou's forehead, all from sweating. She forced a faint smile on her pale face: "How can it not hurt?
I just held back."
The lady at the front desk was a little worried: "Your swelling is too high, is it possible that your bones are injured? Do you want me to help you go to the hospital to have a look?"
Xiaorou shook her head slightly and pressed her swollen ankle twice with her hand: "I am a medical worker myself. I have tried to move my ankle before, and there is no bone injury."
When the lady at the front desk heard that she was from the hospital, she immediately said cheerfully, "I really envy you. Not only do you save lives, but you can also diagnose family members with headaches or fevers yourself."
No matter what era, hospitals are places where money is burned.
When ordinary people have a cold or fever, they just lie in bed and sweat, and they would never think of going to the hospital.
Therefore, in this era of backward medical conditions, many people have become idiots due to fever or other diseases because of delaying treatment at home.
Xiaorou smiled but did not answer.
When the front desk lady finished packing and was leaving, she reminded him, "There are too many people coming and going in our county these past two days.
It's all because of the landslide a while ago. As a girl, you shouldn't go out alone."
Xiaorou nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The lady at the front desk then closed the door and left with peace of mind.
Lu Yuanshan scratched his head and returned to his room, feeling like he had forgotten something.
Lu Zhiye woke up when he heard the door open. Looking at Lu Yuanshan's outfit, he asked in surprise, "Brother Yuanshan, what are you doing?"
Lu Yuanshan told what happened just now, slapped his forehead, and said angrily: "I just said I forgot something, you sleep for a while, I'll go to the state-owned restaurant to buy some food and bring it back."
Lu Zhiye reached out and wiped his face: "I'll go with you.
By the way, Comrade Xiaorou, is everything ok?"
Seeing Lu Yuanshan shaking his head, Lu Zhiye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaorou usually works in the hospital, and during her breaks she likes to ride in a ox cart to play in their village.
She often brought some things to Wen Sihe, including medicine for the children's headaches and fevers.
Wen Sihe remembered Xiaorou's friendship, and Lu Zhiye also showed some concern.
Lu Yuanshan stood at the window of the state-owned restaurant, sticking his head inside to see what dishes were available.
Seeing that he was well-dressed and very polite, and since there were few people getting food at the moment, the eldest sister did not urge him any further.
Lu Yuanshan stood at the window, hesitating for a long time, then raised his hand, pointed at a braised pork, and ordered two vegetarian dishes.
I asked my elder sister quietly, "Do you have any pig's trotters?"
It is said that what you eat will replenish what you have. Comrade Xiaorou has sprained her foot, so eating pig's trotters should replenish her foot quickly.
The eldest sister shook her head: "There are only four hooves on a pig. If you sell it too expensively, people won't eat it. If you sell it too cheaply, it's not worth making it."
Lu Yuanshan calculated the time and estimated that they would not leave for the next two days. He took out money and tickets from his pocket and said to his eldest sister with a smile.
"Can I order from you then? I'll pick it up tomorrow at noon."
The eldest sister raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Then let me tell you first, if you cook this dish, you can't return it.
You have to give me the money and ticket in advance, and I will write you a note when the time comes."
Lu Yuanshan agreed.
The price of this pig's trotter is not cheap, it costs one yuan per serving.
It's even a few cents more expensive than a small portion of braised pork.
The eldest sister hurriedly put the money and tickets into her pocket, fearing that Lu Yuanshan would go back on his word.
When Lu Yuanshan returned to the state-owned hotel with the meal, many people came out one after another and prepared to eat.
He said happily to Lu Zhiye standing beside him: "I told you that we should run faster, otherwise when we get to dinner time, not only will there be little food, but it will also be very crowded!"
"Hey, you guys are back? Wow, you bought so much food?
I just wanted to tell you that there is food in our cafeteria.
The price is much cheaper than the state-owned hotel. I was wondering if you guys would like to eat here? Who knew you guys would come back with food!"
The canteen at the state-owned hotel is a small internal canteen, which is exclusively for meals of their internal employees and visiting leaders.
If the driver has connections, he can be brought in by someone.
The lady at the front desk said this because of the dried meat and fruit candies we had in the morning.
She didn't want to take advantage of others for nothing.
Lu Yuanshan didn't expect such a surprise, and said quickly: "That's great, thank you so much, big sister, let's eat in the cafeteria tonight."
The eldest sister waved her hand cheerfully. She was holding a piece of dried meat and a steamed bun in her hand. It seemed that she was not going to eat lunch.
