The banner was quickly completed, and Zhang Jidi arranged to deliver it to the two doctors the next day.
Since Xiang Lili's ear had only improved but not healed yet, she was worried and asked the doctor for details.
The doctor received the banner, his mouth widening to the back of his ears. He said with a smile, "Generally, traumatic eardrum perforations as large as hers rarely heal on their own. But the fact that yours is starting to heal on its own shows that the patient has a good physical constitution and is likely to recover."
Hearing that Zhang Jidi was very happy, she was afraid of the safety and hesitated whether to stay here or return to her hometown.
The doctor gave sincere advice: "Go back and wait. Patients will recover faster and better in a familiar environment. The doctor in your county is my junior sister, and her prescribing skills are also good."
It costs a lot in Shanghai, and this kind of self-healing usually takes months. Ordinary families are afraid that they can't afford it.
Zhang Jidi carefully considered the pros and cons of going back and finally decided to go home.
Regardless of the financial impact, with so many people at home waiting eagerly for her, Xiang Lili was filled with sorrow while staying in the hospital. She thought that going home was the best option.
Xiang Mianmian also gave her support: "Go home, sister will get better soon."
The condition of the disease has a great impact on the mentality, and this is a system reward, so it will definitely be cured within a month.
Since they decided to go back, the five of them went to the train station to buy tickets. Due to Xiang Lili's illness, she could only buy a sleeper berth. The seat ticket was cheap but not conducive to her recovery.
The ticket seller at the window checked and found that all the sleeper berths for today and tomorrow were sold out, and there would only be one train the day after tomorrow afternoon.
Two days earlier or later would make the same difference, so they bought tickets to go home the day after tomorrow afternoon.
Fortunately, the guesthouse had not been vacated yet, so they could continue to stay there.
After leaving the train station ticket window, Xiang Mianmian thought of the teachers and classmates who had come with her to go shopping, and couldn't help but suggest: "Why don't we go buy some local specialties together?"
It’s not easy to come all the way to Shanghai, and you’d be missing out if you don’t buy something when you take it back.
Everyone looked at each other and unanimously decided to go shopping.
Chinese people all have the idea that a poor family can be rich on the road. Who doesn’t have some money to protect themselves?
It would be great to buy some new and interesting things that are not available in the county town. I can't go back empty-handed and waste a great opportunity.
It’s okay for young people like Xiang Lili, they only need to consider their own needs when shopping.
Zhang Jidi had a lot to consider. He had to interact with his two sons' in-laws, maintain close neighborhood, and maintain relationships with superiors and colleagues. Socializing with adults was a hassle.
The group took the bus and went to the New World Department Store, the largest and most prosperous department store in Shanghai.
After wandering around for more than half an hour, I arrived and saw that the place was indeed very grand.
The big words "New World Department Store" can be seen from a distance. The building is several hundred meters wide with a corner. It has four floors in total and the windows are French arc windows.
It was very grand and fashionable. Xiang Mianmian was slightly better, while the other four were all amazed and praised the prosperity.
There is a constant stream of people coming in and out of the gate at the corner for business, and occasionally you can see blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.
Most of the people who come to shop speak fluent Shanghainese, hold their heads high, wear exquisite and straight clothes, and leave with large and small bags.
Zhang Jidi had calculated what he would need on his way here, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Everyone buy what you want, and then gather at the door."
She went to the counter, and her agile movements demonstrated the meaning of "like a fish in water".
With so many people around, there was no need to worry about getting lost. Xiang Mianmian and Huang He tacitly dispersed and walked away, leaving Xiang Lili and Yin Gan alone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Lovers will eventually get married, so they should not become stumbling blocks.
Since Xiang Lili recovered, she was no longer shy. Instead, she took the initiative and said, "I want to go and see the sweaters over there. Do you want to come with me?"
Yin Gan was eager for his sweetheart's olive branch: "Okay, I think the red one will suit you, go try it on."
The two of them arrived at the sweater counter with pink bubbles in their eyes.
The cashier's attitude was condescending. She sat on a stool and used a wooden ruler to measure the size of the clothes to prevent Xiang Lili from touching them. "The minimum price is 40 yuan per piece. If you don't want to buy it, don't touch it!"
Xiang Lili withdrew her hand in disappointment: "Then we should try it to see if it fits."
The teller raised his chin and said, "Go to the main counter over there and pay and get the receipt, then come back to choose your size. If you want to buy it, don't buy it. If not, get out of the way!"
This attitude is very annoying.
Xiang Lili had originally liked the wool sweater, but she also gave up the idea: "I won't buy it. Who wants this broken thing of yours?"
There are also wool sweaters sold in the county town, but the styles are not as fashionable and beautiful as those here. Plus, the cashier’s temper is unpleasant, so she decided not to buy one!
Seeing Xiang Lili leave angrily, Yin Gan followed her closely: "I'll pay for it for you, why don't we go back and take a look?"
When Xiang Lili saw the hair flower counter, her mind had changed from anger to appreciation: "Why do I need that? I don't want to be bullied. I might as well buy a flower-wrapped hair comb for my little sister~"
Seeing that she was really immersed in choosing a comb, Yin Gan breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't be upset over a piece of clothing, as it would delay her recovery. It was not like he couldn't afford forty yuan.
He watched Xiang Lili pick and choose, and chose hair flowers for all the women in the family, his eyes so gentle that tears could be dripping from them.
Xiang Lili even didn't forget her five-year-old niece Xiang Youfeng. She took out a pair of hairpins with butterfly spring wings. When she walked, the butterfly wings would flutter, which looked very beautiful.
I also carefully selected various styles of hair accessories for my sister-in-law and younger sister, and the total cost was almost 50 yuan.
Xiang Lili was shocked. The Shanghai stock market was indeed very expensive, but since it was a rare trip, she decided to pay the fee.
