When the two bosses heard Shen Ruoqing say that he wanted to keep it as a souvenir, they did not force him to stay.
The sound made by Shen Ruoqing opening the high-quality ice jadeite was so loud that it attracted the previous boss.
"Little girl, you are so lucky." The boss was very happy. He was not a petty person. With this piece of jade, the reputation of his shop should be even better. Because his shop has not had such a high ice jade for a long time. This also made the boss want to make friends with Shen Ruoqing.
"Thank you, thank you." Shen Ruoqing still smiled.
"Young comrade, my last name is Cai. We're friends today. If you want to find jadeite raw stones in the future, come find me on this street." Boss Cai introduced himself.
"My name is Shen Ruoqing."
"So Miss Shen, nice to meet you."
After the two of them flattered each other, Shen Ruoqing stood up and said goodbye.
With such a great gain, Shen Ruoqing was a little tired. On the way back, he bought some stationery and stamps that were not available in the small county town and went back.
Shen Ruoqing also called Old Lady Ji on the way.
Shen Ruoqing felt a little guilty. She should have called home as soon as possible, but she was busy seeing patients and visiting Beijing, so she only remembered to call Old Lady Ji now. The old lady must be very worried because she hadn't heard from her for so long.
After the call was connected, the voice of the village party secretary's wife came: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Aunt, I'm Shen Ruoqing, I'm looking for my mother." Shen Ruoqing said.
"Okay, hang up first. Call back in ten minutes and I'll go get someone."
Telephone charges are very expensive nowadays. If you call Dashitou Village from Beijing, it is considered a long-distance call and costs 60 cents per minute, and that’s charged on both ends.
About ten minutes later, Shen Ruoqing called again.
After a while someone picked up the phone.
"My dear!" The excited voice of Mrs. Ji came from the other end of the phone, "My dear, have you arrived in Beijing? How are you doing over there? Did Mu Zhiqing take good care of you…"
"Mom, I'm in Jing City now. Mu Bai has arranged everything. I just came here to see a patient."
"I said before that Mu Zhiqing was a steady guy, but he actually took you to Beijing without our consent! How can a girl like you, who has only studied for a short time, cure a disease that cannot be cured by big hospitals in Beijing?" Old Mrs. Ji kept talking. Normally, she would not talk so much. The phone bill was expensive.
"It's okay, Mom. I went to the scrap yard and bought some medical books. They happened to record various difficult and complicated diseases. The symptoms of this patient happened to be on the books, so I'll give it a try. Didn't you say before that Mu Bai saved me several times, and our family should repay the favor. He saved our family's life, and it's just to help with the diagnosis. It's not a life-threatening matter, but it's a bit far away. If time wasn't tight, I would have brought you along. This Jing City is big, much more prosperous than our small county town, and the buildings are much taller... By the way, you must stay in the village during this period, and don't go out."
"That's right, my dear. Since Mu Zhiqing has come to us for help, you should have a good look at the patient. If you can't treat the patient, just tell us directly. Don't be embarrassed. You have only studied medicine for a short time. Don't try to be brave." Although Old Lady Ji knew that Shen Ruoqing was a good doctor, Shen Ruoqing had only studied for more than a year.
"Mom, don't worry. Do I look like someone who doesn't know the limits? I would only make such a boast if I was absolutely sure. Don't worry, the patient's symptoms this time are exactly the same as what is written in the medical books. And I didn't say that I was completely sure. I just told them to give it a try..." Shen Ruoqing replied.
Old Mrs. Ji talked a lot again.
"Okay, I won't talk to you any more. If you have any problems, just write to me. I don't know how much the phone bill will be. Give the phone to Mu Zhiqing and let me talk to him." Old Mrs. Ji wanted to say a few words to Mu Bai, asking him to take better care of his little baby.
"Okay, Mom." Shen Ruoqing handed the phone to Mu Bai.
"Hello, auntie. I'm Mu Bai."
"Mu Zhiqing, my sweet girl has been spoiled since she was young and has never traveled far. You have to take good care of her over there. We have been country people all our lives and don't understand the rules of Beijing where you are. Ruoqing's personality is easy to offend people..." Old Mrs. Ji said a few simple words and hung up the phone. The phone bill was very expensive and she felt distressed.
In fact, they didn't talk for long, only about eight minutes.
But the call bill was five yuan and forty cents, which made Grandma Ji very distressed.
"Why is this phone bill so expensive? No, you have to give me a lower price."
The village party secretary's wife rolled her eyes at Old Lady Ji and said, "Dahai, my landline phone costs a lot of money every month. The phone bill is fixed. Who told you to keep calling for so long?"
Old Lady Ji said, "I've been calling for so long, can't you give me a discount? Why is it so expensive to call from Beijing?"
"It can't be cheaper. If it's any cheaper, I'll lose money."
Old Mrs. Ji reluctantly took out the money, muttering, "If I had known, I wouldn't have spent so much time on the phone with Guaibao. It's a waste of money. I could have just called to let him know I'm safe. How many eggs can I buy with this money?"

Shen Xiangdong next to him asked, "Mom, what did my little sister say? Did she say when she would be back?"
Old Lady Ji said, "Your little sister said she is fine and will come back in a while. The patient's condition cannot be cured in a short time. We have to take it slowly. The specific time depends on the patient's recovery. Mu Zhiqing is here too. He promised me that he would take good care of Guaibao."
"Mom, didn't you tell my little sister about what happened at home?"
"What are you talking about? If you tell me, won't your little sister be worried to death? Isn't Dalong's friend helping to solve the family problems?" Old Mrs. Ji was worried when she thought about the family affairs. She didn't know what happened, but suddenly the fourth child was involved in a vicious fight. He is still in prison, and the eldest child's wife was also suspended from work for no reason...
Did the Shen family offend someone?
Shen Ruoqing hung up the phone and felt relieved. She was relieved when Mrs. Ji said everything was fine at home.
But it's also strange. I shot Li Zeqian, but Li Zeqian didn't choose to retaliate?
Shen Ruoqing held her chin and thought, was it because Li Zeqian couldn't find her that he just kept silent about his anger?
Anyway, no matter what, this is a society ruled by law. No matter how powerful Li Zeqian is, at most he can only mess with the work of his fourth brother and his wife. Before I left, I asked Brother Biao to help take care of my family, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
When I returned to the small courtyard, I found that Aunt Zhang had cooked mutton.
Shen Ruoqing ate so much that her belly was round.
After dinner, Aunt Zhang had already prepared hot water, and Shen Ruoqing went to wash up first. Mu Bai, on the other hand, was reading a letter in the study.
