Ye Qingtao spent the day at home preparing medicine by the fire, and the day passed quickly.
At night, thinking that Gu Jingming would be back, Ye Qingtao coughed gently a few times. She raised her head slightly and deliberately posed.
The weather was still a little cold, so Ye Qingtao lighted the fire a few times, then stood up and prepared to cook.
Just then there was a knock on the door. Needless to say, it was definitely not Gu Jingming who came back.
He has his own key and never knocks when he comes back, he just opens the door directly.
Ye Qingtao walked up and opened the door, only to see Wang Xiaoyu, whom she hadn't seen for a few days.
Ye Qingtao walked forward, and Wang Xiaoyu quickly grabbed her arm and took her out.
"I bought a lot of delicious food today. I promised to invite you to my house for dinner last time, but because my child was scalded by boiling water, I never had time to invite you to come."
"I have made special preparations in advance this time. You can come with Chief Gu to taste my cooking skills."
The child's injuries recovered well. Originally there was a hideous scar after the injury healed, but later he used the scar removal cream given by Ye Qingtao, and now the scar has faded a lot.
If Ye Qingtao hadn’t helped with the first aid last time, as a woman, she really wouldn’t have known what to do when faced with such a situation.
Fortunately, everything is over now without any danger.
Ye Qingtao originally planned to go, but she thought about the cold war she had with Gu Jingming yesterday, and if they were going to someone else's house for dinner today, it would be easy for people to see the clues if both of them had cold faces.
"I feel a little uncomfortable today and don't really want to go out. How about next time?"
Ye Qingtao originally had fair skin, and the weather was a bit cold, making her face even paler.
"Are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Wang Xiaoyu looked at her with concern, then reacted.
"What doctor? You are the best doctor in our family compound."
Ye Qingtao smiled weakly, "I just want to drink some porridge in the evening, lie down and take a rest, I will be fine in a few days."
Seeing her like this, Wang Xiaoyu didn't dare to force her, but quickly took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into her palm.
Ye Qingtao treated the child and applied medicine to him, spending all her own money.
She didn't give the money a few days ago because she was still not sure.
Now the child is completely healed and is using the scar removal cream given by Ye Qingtao for free. It would be inappropriate if I don't give him some money.
"Sister Wang, what are you doing?"
Ye Qingtao did not take the red envelope immediately, but looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"You have medical skills, that's your ability. I can't ask you to pay for it. The child's wound has healed very well. This red envelope is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't despise it."
Wang Xiaoyu heard that Ye Qingtao also gave a red envelope to Zheng Shoufeng for helping him deliver a baby at home, and it was a big red envelope.
Her family is only averagely well off, so her red envelope is definitely not as good as others, so she feels embarrassed.
"No need. I just happened to encounter this incident when I went to my sister-in-law's house for dinner. It was just a matter of convenience. Why should I ask for a red envelope?"
Wang Xiaoyu praised her medical skills everywhere in the family compound, which made her famous, and she no longer had to worry about people not coming to her for treatment.
This is equivalent to advertising fees, and it would be inappropriate to charge it again.
"Yes, yes. I heard from the elders in my family that we can't let others help treat children for free. If we are unwilling to spend money, the child's illness will not be cured."
Wang Xiaoyu said this seriously, and Ye Qingtao almost believed it.
While she was distracted, Wang Xiaoyu quickly stuffed the red envelope into her pocket.
Ye Qingtao chased after him to return it, but Wang Xiaoyu had already run away.
As she ran, she said, "You must take this red envelope no matter what. Don't give it back to me. If you do, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future!"
Wang Xiaoyu has already said so much, Ye Qingtao has no choice but to accept it.
She turned around and was about to go into the house when she heard someone outside the yard calling her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, Commander Gu asked me to bring you a message."
Ye Qingtao turned around in confusion and saw a strange young man standing anxiously at the gate of the yard.
"What message did Gu Jingming ask you to convey?"
Is there anything that can't be said by herself? Is Gu Jingming avoiding her and not even going home?
When Ye Qingtao thought of this possibility, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Commander Gu said he had an urgent mission and might not be back for ten days or half a month. You have to eat well and sleep well these few days. When he's not around, you, you..."
The young man's face became redder and redder as he spoke, and he could not finish his last sentence.
Ye Qingtao walked forward to hear more clearly. The young man looked at his sister-in-law who looked like a fairy and his face turned red.
When Ye Qingtao walked to the edge of the yard, he didn't say anything and just ran away.
He still couldn't figure it out. Was there anything that Chief Gu couldn't say himself? He was asked to deliver such a cheesy message. This was simply dog abuse.
Ye Qingtao looked at the young man who ran away in an instant with a puzzled look on her face. She frowned slightly. Could she be some kind of monster?
Otherwise, how could that person run so fast?
Or is it that he is very good at sports and is a natural athlete, so his speed is so amazing?
The young man had already run far away, and Ye Qingtao had no way to catch him back to find out what happened.
She understood the general meaning. Gu Jingming accepted an urgent task and left without even saying goodbye to her.
This is good too. The two of them don't have to be in a cold war anymore. They can just do their own things.
Ye Qingtao breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, but she also felt a little worried in her heart.
The first time she met Gu Jingming, he was shot in the back. She hoped that he could return safely this time.
In the face of the greater good of family and country, the quarrels between husband and wife are not worth mentioning at all.
Ye Qingtao cooked a bowl of noodles and continued to roast the fire after eating.
It was completely dark outside, and it was quiet outside the family compound.
In the past, at this time of year, she and Gu Jingming were busy with their own things. Although they seldom talked, she did not feel lonely.
Now she was the only one in the room, which made it seem deserted.
Fortunately, Ye Qingtao was addicted to making medicine and had long been accustomed to the loneliness of being alone.
She prepared some medicine, heated two hot water bottles, and moved the quilt from Gu Jingming's room to her room.
If one person covers himself with two quilts, he will definitely not feel cold tonight.
Ye Qingtao wrapped herself in the quilt and closed her eyes comfortably.
With an extra quilt, the bed is indeed much warmer.
With the help of the hot water bottle, Ye Qingtao slept very comfortably.
At night, Ye Qingtao fell into a deep sleep, but she didn't expect someone to knock on the door in the middle of the night.
Ye Qingtao, who was sleeping, first heard a knock on the door vaguely. She was still daydreaming at the time and was even unwilling to open her eyes.
Then the sound became softer and softer, and came directly outside her window.
"Doctor Ye, Doctor Ye, my wife is having a seizure, please come and save her!"
