Lin Ying woke Zhao Qinghuai up and told him to take a shower. Zhao Qinghuai went to the bathroom in a daze. The moment he took off his clothes and got into the bathtub, he exclaimed in comfort.
The water in the bathtub had a light brown tint, indicating that medicine had likely been added to it.
Zhao Qinghuai recalled that when Wang Shan returned home after a break, he thanked Zhao Qinghuai profusely and addressed him as a brother, saying that they would be friends for life. Zhao Qinghuai didn't understand what those words meant at the time, until Wang Shan told him that Lin Ying had saved his two sons. Zhao Qinghuai's reaction was even stronger than Wang Shan's.
Lin Ying saved his son; did Lin Ying treat other people's illnesses?
Even now, Zhao Qinghuai can still recall the pain that filled Lin Ying's stubborn eyes back then.
So the next day, Zhao Qinghuai took the opportunity to go to the forest farm to see Grandpa Lin. After hearing about Lin Ying's situation, Grandpa Lin remained silent for a long time. Zhao Qinghuai knew that he actually regretted it, regretted insisting on keeping her.
In order to help Lin Ying recover, Zhao Qinghuai even considered using outside methods, planning to cause an accidental injury so that Lin Ying could treat him.
Grandpa Lin refused without even thinking: "That girl is very skilled in medicine. She can tell at a glance how you got injured. You can't fool her. Your place is the only place she can go right now. If you anger her, I'm afraid she might do something foolish again."
Zhao Qinghuai paced anxiously, but in the end, it was Grandpa Lin who understood Lin Ying: "Don't worry, you said it yourself, she still gathers herbs and makes finished medicines. This just means she's not very willing to interact with people. She was hurt by those people, so it's normal for her to react this way."
However, from childhood to adulthood, the water she drank was all medicine I prepared, and her early education was based on medical books. It's fair to say that medical knowledge has seeped into her very being. Even if she's not consciously aware of it, her brain will unconsciously react using the medical knowledge she's learned.
As for treating the illness and saving lives, let's take it slow. Didn't you say she's keeping your little home very well-maintained? That shows she cares about that home and enjoys her current life.
A person who loves life will always find their soul healed.
Xiaoying had a precocious memory; she was already old enough to remember things when her mother left. However, she quickly adjusted her mindset. She knew her mother didn't like her, so even at a young age, she understood that some feelings couldn't be forced.
Later, because her father kept coming to the clinic and bullying her with her stepmother's daughter, perhaps due to pent-up emotions, she became extremely irritable. Just when I thought her emotions would subside, one day she suddenly calmed down. She said, "My father doesn't like me, but my grandfather does. If I'm unhappy, my father won't care, but my grandfather will worry."
So from that day on, whatever her father asked for, she would give it to him if I said yes. Just because she didn't want to make me angry.
And because of the turmoil of that era, I hadn't been able to contact you at the time. Only by making concessions time and time again could I temporarily benefit them and prevent them from bringing up Xiaoying's background.
What I'm saying is that she's a lovely girl, and she doesn't want those who worry about her to worry. So, she will definitely get better, even if it's just for me, for you, she will recover. However, going through this will also make her more mature. For a doctor, being overly rational might not be a good thing for the patient, but for herself, at least she's learned to protect herself.
Looking back on the old man's words, Zhao Qinghuai has to admit that the old man truly understood Lin Ying.
Just as Zhao Qinghuai was lost in thought, Lin Ying knocked on the door, then opened it and placed the clothes directly on the stool inside without looking inside.
"Change your clothes."
Zhao Qinghuai couldn't help but find Lin Ying's reaction amusing. They had already done the most intimate things together, yet she was still so shy.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Zhao Qinghuai quickly took a shower, feeling completely refreshed afterward.
Even after putting on clothes, he didn't feel cold. Zhao Qinghuai subconsciously touched the heated wall; it was quite hot to the touch.
Wearing the clothes Lin Ying brought, Zhao Qinghuai felt a little dizzy when he opened the blue floral dress. However, judging from the style, it seemed to have been made by Lin Ying herself, so Zhao Qinghuai simply put it on.
I must say, they are really comfortable to wear.
When Zhao Qinghuai came out, he saw that Lin Ying was wearing the same pink outfit.
"Which quilt cover did you tear off?"
Lin Ying turned around and asked happily, "How is it? Not bad, right? It's a bit too hot at home, so I made this loungewear. It's smooth and quite soft."
Zhao Qinghuai also thought it was good, but said, "Don't you think this style is too fancy? Besides, it's easy for it to snag."
Lin Ying nodded: "I think so too. How about this, we don't have enough fabric left. We'll buy some more cotton fabric next time we go to town and make a new one. Just make do with this for now. Oh, right, I've finished cooking. Eat first. After you eat, you can take a nap."
Zhao Qinghuai nodded. During the meal, Lin Ying casually asked, "What did your family send you?"
Zhao Qinghuai was really hungry. After taking a big bite, he said, "I sent you a cotton quilt and made you a cotton-padded jacket. I didn't know you could get a cotton quilt, so I wrote to my family to ask them to prepare one."
He didn't say that he specifically sent the telegram back because he wanted her to have a new quilt.
"Oh, right, I saw another bundle inside. What's that?"
Lin Ying then said, "Oh, that was meant for you to give to Grandpa, and then give him some pickled vegetables and stuff."
Zhao Qinghuai nodded: "Okay. I'll send it to Grandpa tomorrow."
Lin Ying nodded: "Then be careful. I heard there are a lot of wolves lately, and sometimes you can even hear wolves howling in the mountains."
Zhao Qinghuai frowned: "It's alright. The team is all back now. Rest for a couple of days, and then we'll arrange for everyone to go up the mountain to drive away the wolves. You don't need to go up the mountain these next few days."
Seeing Zhao Qinghuai eating so heartily, Lin Ying simply joined in and ate as well: "Okay, I wasn't planning on going these past few days anyway."
After dinner, Zhao Qinghuai went to bed. Lin Ying cleaned up the kitchen and washed Zhao Qinghuai's clothes, which were then hung next to the fireplace and dried overnight.
The next day, Zhao Qinghuai first shoveled the snow from his house before eating breakfast and leaving with his bags. Lin Ying continued studying her blueprints at home. She had some ideas by now, but she needed to experiment to determine if her ideas were suitable.
Just as Lin Ying finished drawing the first sketch and was about to conduct the experiment, she heard Li Yue'e's voice from next door was quite loud.
Lin Ying put on her coat and went into the yard, where she saw Li Yue'e and Wang Shan busy setting up straw curtains.
