These are just wages, not to mention other benefits such as tickets. Moreover, Tian Cai can feed the whole family with just one person, so he really has no place to spend money.
For ordinary people, it may take a long time to save up to buy a bicycle, and it is even more difficult to get a bicycle ticket, but for Tian Cai, this is really not difficult.
Pharmaceutical factories have all these benefits. After all, Tian Cai is the head of the R&D department!
What's more, Tian Cai was so famous that countless patients came to her, and many of them offered her gifts and asked her to help them treat their illnesses.
But Tian Cai refused. She felt that it was a shame to take something from someone else. She would definitely not turn away someone who could be cured, but it felt different to take something from someone else.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
Qiu Xiaohuan was staring at the ground when she heard the bicycle bell. She looked up and smiled when she saw Tian Cai. "You're finally back!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued reading.
"Well, why are you here at this hour?"
Tian Cai got off the bike, pushed it forward a few steps, and looked in the direction Qiu Xiaohuan was looking.
It was a group of ants forming a circle, and there was more than one circle, all over the row, and there were probably more than a dozen of them.
"What do you think they are doing?"
Qiu Xiaohuan stared at the ground intently, and instead of answering, she asked another question.
Tian Cai glanced at her, opened the door, and pushed his bicycle into the yard. "They're probably having a feast!"
“Puff—”
Qiu Xiaohuan was immediately amused by Tian Cai, "You really have the guts to think like that."
Tian Cai could see that she was worried, but he didn't say anything. He just pretended not to notice and continued to make up stories, "Look at them in circles. If they aren't sitting around the table eating, what are they doing? And those running around are obviously following the arrangements. There are still some coming over here. Maybe it's a buffet!"
Qiu Xiaohuan imagined what Tian Cai said, and it was true.
Tian Cai said this, but in his head he was thinking that he should prepare some anthelmintics, otherwise a large group of ants would appear in the yard, which would be very uncomfortable for people with trypophobia.
After she entered the house, Qiu Xiaohuan followed in.
She poured herself a glass of water without any hesitation, sat by the window with her head slightly lowered and said nothing.
Tian Cai washed her hands, opened the medicine cabinet and picked up the herbs. When she put them into the medicine grinder, Qiu Xiaohuan puffed out her cheeks and finally spoke.
"I saw him today."
Even though we haven't seen each other for several years, she still recognized me at first sight in the crowd.
Tian Cai knew who this "he" was without even asking.
"So, you're planning to rekindle your old flame?"
Tian Cai's voice was smooth.
It seems that what she said was a little wrong. How could she be so affectionate?
Qiu Xiaohuan choked, and all the sadness in her heart suddenly disappeared. She put the cup in her hand heavily on the table and looked at Tian Cai with dissatisfaction.
"Do I look like someone who would return to their ex? I'm telling you, even if he begged me to be with him on his knees, I wouldn't even look at him!"
“That’s how tough!”
"There are so many people crying and begging to date me, I still need him—"
Before Qiu Xiaohuan could finish her words, she was interrupted by a gentle voice.
"Doctor Tian."
Some people who were just talking big suddenly became speechless, so embarrassed that they wanted to crawl into the ground.
She just followed him into the yard without closing the door.
You really can't talk about people behind their backs.
But she was still quite relieved. Seeing that Qiu Xiaohuan was able to bring up this matter just now, she must have really let it go.
Tian Cai clicked her tongue inwardly, but didn't show it on her face. She looked at the person outside the door and asked, "Why is Yan Zhiqing here? Is there something he wants to talk to me about?"
Yan Xudong smiled and said, "I'm no longer an educated youth. Doctor Tian, please call me by my name!"
"Sorry, I'm used to it."
There was a man next to Yan Xudong. They looked a bit similar, but the man didn't wear glasses and was taller than Yan Xudong.
Tian Cai invited the two of them in to sit down, "Would you like some tea?"
Yan Xudong shook his head. "No need to bother. I came here today to ask Doctor Tian for help with an outpatient consultation. I wonder if that would be convenient?"
He had deliberately kept Tian Cai's address before, and with Tian Cai's current fame, it would be easy to find her.
Tian Cai raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was only four o'clock.
It was also a coincidence that she rarely left early, so she caught up.
"Then let's go!"
As she said this, she turned around and picked up her medicine box.
Before she could reach out her hand, Qiu Xiaohuan had already handed over the medicine box, blinking at Tian Cai.
The look in his eyes made him want to chase those people out immediately.
After asking about the general symptoms and finding out that it was related to the liver, Tian Cai picked out some medicinal herbs that might be used and packed them up.
Afterwards, the four of them came out together, and Yan Xudong and the other two also came by bike.
Qiu Xiaohuan didn't plan to go with them, so they separated at the entrance of the alley.
On the way, Yan Xudong briefly introduced the basic situation of the person he was going to see to Tian Cai.
The person who treated the disease was Yan Xudong's third uncle.
Uncle Yan was diagnosed with hepatitis B and early-stage liver cirrhosis in 1976. He was twice rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment due to worsening of his condition, including ascites and vomiting blood.
A few months ago, he was admitted to the First Hospital again due to massive vomiting of blood and ascites due to liver cirrhosis.
After more than three months of hospitalization, his condition did not improve.
"My third uncle is ill, and he's always felt there's no hope of recovery. He's in a bad mood right now, and he might say something unpleasant. Please, for my sake, bear with him for a bit."
Yan Xudong said a little embarrassedly.
Uncle Yan is only seven years older than Yan Xudong. In the past, when Yan's father was busy with work, Yan Xudong was always left to Uncle Yan to play with.
