Chapter 371 Taking the Pulse



He Tingjun hummed, "I just found out yesterday."

Yun Qiao asked, "You knew it yesterday, why didn't you tell me?"

He Tingjun explained, "It's not a very important thing. When I got home and saw you, I was just thinking about you, so I forgot to tell you."

He Tingjun came home very late yesterday and had dinner right after he came back. After dinner, the two of them took a shower and went to bed... uh, I forgot to mention that it was normal.

Yun Qiao's cheeks flushed and he lowered his eyes: "Okay."

He Tingjun secretly held Yun Qiao's little hand and squeezed it. Yun Qiao rolled her eyes at him lightly, and he raised his lips and chuckled.

Yun Qiao asked, "Captain Xiong is getting married. What's the appropriate gift amount?"

He Tingjun said, "He gave you a five-yuan gift when we got married. Did Comrade Han Rou give you a separate gift? If she did, we can just add hers to the five yuan."

Yun Qiao shook his head: "No."

Han Rou sneaked into the wedding, and brought no gifts? Not a cent.

He Tingjun said 'Oh' and said, "Then we'll just take five dollars."

Yun Qiao nodded and took note: "Okay."

The bus swayed along the road for nearly two hours before finally arriving at the regiment headquarters. Yun Qiao's legs were numb from sitting there. After getting off the bus, he stood holding onto the bus stop sign for a few minutes before he recovered.

He Tingjun took back the bicycle he had deposited and wanted to take Yunqiao back.

Yun Qiao was reluctant to sit, so He Tingjun simply pushed his bicycle and accompanied Yun Qiao around the 10th Regiment Headquarters.

Because the 10th Regiment Headquarters is close to the military base, soldiers and their families come here to play on weekends, so it has developed a little more than the 3rd Regiment Headquarters where Yun Qiao used to be.

Not only is the street longer than the headquarters of the Third Regiment, there is also a separate tofu shop and food factory. Although the food categories made by the food factory are very simple, with only red bean paste cakes and egg cakes, even so, there is a long queue in front of the store in front of the factory, and the sales are extremely hot.

Because they were selling the cakes while baking them, the air around the food factory was filled with a sweet aroma. Yun Qiao couldn't help but pull He Tingjun to queue up together and used the last half-pound cake ticket on the food shelf to buy half a pound of egg cake.

The freshly baked egg cake was still warm, with one side of the wrapping paper left open to cool. Yun Qiao took a bite while it was still hot and finally understood why people would queue up to buy freshly baked egg cake. Because the freshly baked egg cake had an extremely crispy outer layer and an extremely soft inner layer, the flavor was much better than when it was cold!

The young couple ate one egg cake each and ate all of it before the cakes were even cooled down.

On the way back to the base, Yun Qiao sat on the back of the bicycle, holding He Tingjun's waist, and said with a lingering feeling: "I bought too little this time. There are only five half-pound egg cakes in total. They are gone before I can enjoy them. I will buy more next month when I have cake tickets."

He Tingjun nodded in agreement.

It's Monday again. The sky, which had been gloomy for a few days, finally cleared up and the weather became slightly warmer.

Yun Qiao arrived at the health room, changed into a white coat first, then took a thermos to the water room and got a pot of hot water.

An Xiaomei was cleaning. She cleaned the pharmacies and infusion rooms on both sides, but left out an area next to Yun Qiao's desk.

The young girl had a good heart. To upset Yun Qiao she would just give him a cold look and use some harmless tricks to win over Gao Qian. Gao Qian didn't want to play with her, but she got so angry that she started to have a sore throat the next day and couldn't speak for three days.

Yun Qiao was too lazy to argue with her.

There was a piece of ground under her feet, and it fell down wherever it fell. It took her less than a minute to sweep it with a broom.

After Yun Qiao finished sweeping the floor, Gao Qian finally arrived, holding her little girl Xinxin's hand.

The little girl's eyes were red, and it seemed that she had just cried.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Yun Qiao took Xinxin's hand and asked her softly, "Who bullied our Xinxin? Tell auntie and I'll teach him a lesson for you."

Xinxin pulled her hand out of Yun Qiao's, took a step back, lowered her head and said nothing.

Gao Qian said, "Maybe she's not feeling well. I just took her to the nursery, and she clung to my legs and wouldn't let go. The nursery worker was crying so hard that she couldn't help herself, so I had no choice but to bring her here."

"Children usually don't make a fuss for no reason." Yun Qiao asked with concern, "Do you know what's wrong with her?"

"I just don't know what's wrong with her. She won't tell me when I ask her." Gao Qian said with a worried look on her face, "Doctor Qin, you're very good at taking her pulse. Please check her and see if you can find the cause."

After working together for nearly a month, although the clinic didn't see many patients, Gao Qian had already gained a preliminary understanding of Yun Qiao's abilities. She discovered that he was very skilled in pediatrics. Recently, Yun Qiao had treated several young patients from the military uniform factory's family housing complex, and they were generally cured after taking their pulses and prescribing medication. Therefore, Gao Qian trusted Yun Qiao very much.

Yun Qiao nodded and said, "Okay. You hold her while I take her pulse."

"Damn it."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gao Qian picked Xinxin up, she began to struggle desperately, crying and shouting, "I don't want the injection! I don't want the injection! Mom, Xinxin doesn't want the injection! Don't give Xinxin the injection!"

Xinxin's small body seemed to be equipped with springs, twisting back and forth in Gao Qian's arms. Gao Qian could hardly hold her down by herself.

Gao Qian quickly said something to comfort her, and Xinxin finally calmed down.

Yun Qiao also comforted her softly, "Xinxin, don't be afraid. Auntie won't give you an injection. Auntie just wants to touch your little wrist."

Xinxin cried and said, "Wow, I don't believe it... The uncles and aunts in white clothes are all liars! They said they wouldn't give me the injection, but they still gave me the injection..."

Yun Qiao promised, "Auntie, I promise I won't give you an injection this time. Let me feel your wrist to see if it's tight."

"Are you really not going to give me the injection?" Xinxin's eyes were red and tears were on her face.

Yun Qiao nodded: "Auntie promises."

Xinxin then hesitantly stretched out her hand, looking at Yunqiao with a look of fear in her eyes: "Then you must keep your word, or you will turn into a puppy if you lie."

"Don't worry, Auntie never lies." Yun Qiao smiled at Xinxin, put her hand on her wrist, and carefully felt her pulse.

Gao Qian asked anxiously, "How is it? Is Xinxin okay?"
