Lu Cheng picked up the bowl of fragrant chicken noodle soup and took a sip of the hot soup first. The mellow taste instantly spread on the tip of his tongue, warming his spleen and stomach and dispelling his fatigue.
He picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks. The chewy noodles were wrapped in delicious soup and tasted smooth. He then picked up a piece of soft and tender chicken. The chicken was fresh and boneless, mixed with the fragrance of Chinese medicinal herbs such as red dates and wolfberries. He couldn't help but praise: "Yuexi, this chicken noodle soup is so delicious. The taste of home is still reassuring."
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun stared at the steak in front of them with great anticipation. When they put the first bite of steak into their mouths, the perfect blend of the tender and juicy beef, the rich black pepper sauce and the refreshing side dishes, the rich taste made their eyes light up instantly.
Lu Ziyan said in surprise: "Mom, your cooking skills have improved again. The steak is much more delicious than what we had before!"
Lu Xiyun was nodding her head desperately, her cheeks puffed up, her face full of happiness as she ate. She said incoherently, "My mom's cooking is delicious!"
The laughter and joy of the family are intertwined and echo in this warm house, as if temporarily isolating themselves from the chaos and unrest of the outside world, leaving only the satisfaction brought by the table full of delicious food and the strong warmth between family members.
After dinner, Lu Cheng took the initiative to help clean up the dishes, while Lin Yuexi went back to the room to get the glucose nutrient solution and some simple medical supplies prepared for Professor Zhou and his wife, and carefully put them into a spare box for her own medical visits.
After 10 o'clock, Lin Yuexi packed chicken soup, chicken, steamed buns, and other food in a basket and whispered to Lu Cheng, "I'll go take some food and medicine to Brother Zhou and the others. You take care of the children."
However, Lu Cheng was unwilling to let Lin Yuexi go to the cowshed alone and insisted on going with her. Lin Yuexi had no choice but to arrange for the two children to stay at home to do their homework or play hopscotch. She also told them not to open the door if anyone knocked when their parents were not at home.
The night was as dark as ink. Lin Yuexi carried a medical kit and Lu Cheng carried a basket. The two of them carefully walked along the mountain path.
The moonlight shone through the mottled leaves, barely illuminating the way ahead. The surroundings were so quiet that the only sounds were their footsteps and the occasional chirping of insects.
Soon, they arrived in front of the cowshed.
Lin Yuexi knocked on the door gently, and the door slowly opened. When Professor Zhou's wife saw them, her eyes were full of surprise and gratitude.
Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng quickly entered the cowshed and placed the food they brought on a shabby table nearby.
Lu Cheng helped to light a dim oil lamp. The faint light flickered in the cowshed, reflecting the figures of four people.
Lin Yuexi said softly, "You two should eat some chicken soup and steamed buns first, and then I will help you check your body..."
Professor Zhou's wife waved her hands quickly, tears in her eyes, and said, "Comrade Lin, Comrade Lu, we are so grateful that you can come. You should take the food back to your children. With our status, how can we cause you so much trouble?"
Lin Yuexi walked forward, gently held her hand, and said sincerely: "Sister, please don't be so formal with us.
It's not easy for everyone right now, so any help is appreciated. You and Brother Zhou should eat something first and take care of your health, and things will get better slowly."
Professor Zhou also weakly advised: "Old woman, listen to Comrade Lin. We can't let them down."
After Lin Yuexi's repeated persuasion, Professor Zhou and his wife finally picked up their bowls and slowly began to eat.
Seeing them eating with gusto, Lin Yuexi felt a pang of sadness in her heart, thinking that they must have not eaten such delicious food for a long time.
After Professor Zhou and his wife finished eating, Lin Yuexi opened the medical kit and began to examine Professor Zhou.
She listened carefully to Professor Zhou's heartbeat and breathing, checked his complexion and tongue coating, and then took out a blood pressure monitor to measure his blood pressure.
Lu Cheng watched quietly at the side. Although he didn't know much about medicine, he was full of admiration when he saw Lin Yuexi's focused expression and skillful movements.
After the examination, Lin Yuexi frowned slightly and said to Professor Zhou: "Brother Zhou, your body is still very weak. You must rest more in the next period of time and try to avoid overwork. I will give you another bottle of glucose today to replenish your energy."
Professor Zhou nodded gratefully and said, "Comrade Lin, thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago."
While Lin Yuexi was preparing the equipment for hanging glucose, she whispered, "Brother Zhou, how old are you this year? How old is your wife?"
Professor Zhou and his wife were stunned for a moment, hesitating whether to answer the question.
Lin Yuexi knew that they had been asked this kind of questions by Xiao Hongbing many times, and she became alert, so she explained, "Brother Zhou, don't get me wrong. I asked your age just because I want to prescribe some medicine for you later, and I need to know your age so that I can prescribe the right dosage..."
Professor Zhou then let down his guard and said, "My name is Zhou Ruiyuan, I'm forty years old, and my wife Lin Qiaoyun is thirty-eight years old..."
This time it was Lin Yuexi's turn to be surprised. Aren't Zhou Ruiyuan and Lin Qiaoyun the eye-catching couple of the future?
One of them is a professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Physics at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, while the other is an entrepreneur ranked in the top 100 of the world's richest people.
Oh my god! My luck is really good. I saved two future big men at once. After the reform and opening up, my life will be on the rise.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuexi became a little excited, but on the surface she remained calm. She just helped Zhou Ruiyuan hang up the glucose nutrient solution, checked Lin Qiaoyun's body and said softly,
"Sister Lin, you're not seriously ill, but I'm afraid you can't go on like this. Let me give you some Chinese medicine. Soak it in boiling water and take it for a while. When you're stronger, you can eat something good. There shouldn't be any big problems!"
"I...I..." Lin Qiao Yun was a little embarrassed.
Lin Yuexi then realized that the only thing on the bed hanging from the tree in their cowshed was a thin floral quilt, and the only other things were two ceramic bowls for eating. There wasn't even a thermos on the table, so how could there be boiled water for making medicine?
Seeing this, Lin Yuexi couldn't help but feel sad. She turned to Lu Cheng and said, "Lu Cheng, look at this situation. Brother Zhou and Sister Lin can't even drink a sip of hot water, and they can't make the medicine. Let's go back and bring them a thermos later!"
Lu Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go back and look for it. It's so cold, how can we live without hot water to drink?"
Lin Yuexi took out some simple trauma medicine from the medical box, handed it to Lin Qiaoyun, and said, "Sister Lin, you should keep this medicine too. It can come in handy if you have any bumps or bruises. You have to be careful about everything in this cowshed."
