Chapter 119: Of course I will be fine (1)
Howard and Song Zhi received the physical examination results of Bai Lili and Taotao respectively.
——Bai Lili is thirteen weeks pregnant.
Howard was so happy!
Bai Lili's face was also full of disbelief - was she really pregnant? ? ?
Howard was so excited that he was incoherent. "Li Li! Li Li!! From today on, you, you don't have to do anything. Just have a good rest! You must have a good rest!"
After a pause, he asked cautiously, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Bai Lili felt like she was in a dream, "Is this real?"
She couldn't believe it at all.
It's strange.
When a man and a woman get married and sleep in the same bed, of course there is a possibility of pregnancy and childbirth.
But Lili just...
I never thought about it.
Until this time, the physical examination report clearly stated "13 weeks pregnant"...
Bai Lili took a long time to react.
Howard smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. "Really! Lili, this is true! We are going to have another baby soon!"
Bai Lili smiled sweetly and placed her hands on her lower abdomen.
Suddenly, the smile on her face faded, "...Well, I don't know what Mingyong thinks, and your mother..."
"Silly!" Howard hugged Lili in his arms, "They will only be happier than me!"
Lili was still feeling a little nervous.
——The reason why her mother Tang Liren was very opposed to her marrying Howard was because she was afraid that she would follow in Fang Ling's footsteps. Being a stepmother is really not that easy.
“I, I…”
There was a hint of hesitation on Lili's face.
Howard said softly: "Don't worry, I will handle it well."
——Of course he knew the knot in his wife’s heart. He also knew that his mother-in-law, Tang Liren, often talked about Guan Qingbai and Fang Ling just to warn him. I want him to know that if he just leaves Lili alone with his mother, his child with his ex-wife... and leaves them alone for a long time, there will definitely be problems.
Howard likes Lili, and he wants to get her even if he has to use coercion...
It's not because he lacks a nanny to take care of the mother and children.
Because he likes her.
He made up his mind and reported to the organization immediately, and suspended all replaceable business trip plans during Lili's pregnancy and childbirth. He will accompany Lili well, and handle the relationship between Lili and his mother, and between Lili and Mingyong well.
On this side, Howard was ecstatic about Lili's pregnancy.
On the other side, Song Zhi was not very happy.
Because Taotao's physical examination report clearly listed that several health indexes did not meet the standards!
——Taotao is not pregnant.
The reason she fainted was due to heatstroke, and the report clearly stated that her physical condition had reached the level of moderate malnutrition.
Zhou Chunsheng stared at Song Zhi viciously.
If there weren't so many people here, if this wasn't where he worked...
Zhou Chun was so angry that his liver hurt, he really wanted to beat Song Zhi up!
——Song Zhi has the ability to transfer his job independently and also has the ability to buy a house in Kyoto, so how could he let Taotao fall into the state of malnutrition? ! How much can a little girl like that eat in one meal?
Tao Tao smiled and explained to Zhou Chunsheng, "It's because I've been in closed training for the past two months. The weather is hot, and I don't have much appetite to eat in the dining hall every day... In fact, Song Zhi brings me food every three days, mainly because I have a poor appetite..."
Zhou Chunsheng became even angrier. "You're still protecting him! As the old saying goes, if you marry a man, you'll have clothes and food... Aren't married couples supposed to help each other? Why is he so vigorous and healthy, while you're malnourished? What do you want from him?"
Taotao felt that Zhou Chunsheng’s tone of voice was like that of her mother Tang Liren!
However, this also means that Zhou Chunsheng really cares about her and it is his good intention.
"Brother Chunsheng, don't be angry," Taotao said with a smile, "It's my fault. I shouldn't be so picky. This is not good. I will correct it in the future!"
Song Zhi was very friendly, "Chunsheng, how can we replenish Taotao's health?"
Zhou Chunsheng stared at him for a long while. The more he looked at him, the more he hated him. He turned his head away and said to Taotao, "I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Take it for a week, and then come back for a checkup. When all the indicators are up to standard, I'll stop taking the medicine. You are not allowed to be picky about food anymore, understand? You have to eat a little bit of everything."
Song Zhi also asked: "Can I eat milk powder, eggs, and apples?"
Zhou Chunsheng didn't want to look at him, and said in a sad tone, "... Arrange everything!"
Soon, Lili and Taotao also knew each other's situation.
Lili comforted Taotao, "You are still young. You are only twenty-one this year. Take good care of your health..."
Howard interjected at the right time, "No matter how busy you are, you should pay attention to exercise."
"I know, I know!" Taotao nodded, then scolded, "Oh, sister, you should take good care of yourself! Such a big happy event... our family is going to have another baby! I'll send a telegram back to my parents this afternoon!"
Howard smiled and said, "Fourth sister, don't be busy. You are not in good health. Just rest at home. I will inform my parents."
At that moment, the two sisters separated.
Taotao followed Song Zhi back home.
The first thing Song Zhi did was to find the milk powder and make Taotao a cup of hot milk. He let it cool to half-warm and let her drink it. Then he carried her upstairs and let her sleep.
As a result, after Taotao woke up...
It's getting dark.
Song Zhi cooked a pot of chicken porridge according to Taotao's method.
——Soak the rice first, chop the whole chicken into pieces, peel the skin, and blanch it in water to stew the soup. Then use the skimmed chicken soup to cook the porridge. Use chopsticks to shred the lean chicken meat and sprinkle it into the rice porridge.
The chicken porridge stewed in this way is delicious and light, with all the rice grains blooming and the porridge being thick and smooth. When you eat it, the rice grains are soft and the chicken shreds are chewy, with a good taste.
Song Zhi also made a dish of cold-mixed bitter melon and a plate of braised eggplant with chanterelles.
The cold-mixed bitter lettuce itself has a bitter taste. After blanching, it is mixed with sauce, vinegar, chili oil, crushed peanuts and a little sesame oil. It tastes slightly bitter, light and appetizing.
Taotao had slept for the whole afternoon and was now in good spirits. She ate two large bowls of shredded chicken porridge and two-thirds of a plate of cold-mixed bitter melon and felt extremely full.
"From now on, you must eat an egg every morning! And drink a glass of milk before going to bed later!" Song Zhi naggingly said, "And apples, you must eat an apple every day! When you were at home, you used to drink a bowl of sweet soup before going to bed every night... You can't stop having this sweet soup, and... I have to get some paper-shell walnuts, red dates, and black sesame seeds..."
Taotao pouted and said, "I see, you are treating me like a pig!"
Then she went to the yard angrily to look for her Dou Lan.
Song Zhi has planted the bean orchid in the corner of the yard and watered it in the evening. Now the flowers have absorbed enough moisture and are moist, fresh and beautiful.
Taotao was very satisfied.
Song Zhi put away the dishes and came to the yard to find her. "I learned a set of Five Animals Exercises from Grandpa Chen this afternoon. Come and I will teach you... You should practice it several times every day from now on."
Taotao was still quite happy.
Song Zhi taught her several times.
I have to say, Song Zhi is very pleasing to the eye when he punches.
He is tall and thin, and because he is afraid that Taotao cannot keep up, his movements are extremely slow. His movements are gentle yet natural and masculine, and they are so handsome!
Tao Tao clapped her hands and laughed, "Do it again, do it again!"
Song Zhi:? ? ?
"Song Zhi, you are so beautiful!" Taotao praised generously.
Song Zhi blushed a little, and did it again calmly.
He also deliberately adjusted his posture, movements, and stretching degree.
Taotao's eyes are full of little stars!
The image of Song Zhi in front of her gradually overlapped with the image of the master of her real hometown, Xuanye Ancient Continent - Immortal Emperor Song Zhi.
All that's missing is a magical robe.
Song Zhi performed for Taotao three or four times, but Taotao's eyes were full of admiration and amazement... and she had no intention of learning at all.
In the end, he had to teach her several times step by step before Taotao learned it absent-mindedly.
After about two hours of light exercise, Taotao was sweating and tired. She acted like a spoiled child and didn't want to walk by herself. Song Zhi kindly carried her back upstairs, prepared some hot water, and let her take a comfortable hot bath.
When sleeping at night, Taotao twisted and turned in his arms...
How could Song Zhi not understand her?
But--
He hugged Da Baitao tightly and whispered, "Stop making trouble. I won't let you eat today. Go to bed obediently!"
Taotao:! ! !
a bolt from the blue!
"Why?" Taotao was angry.
Song Zhi explained in a gentle voice, "I wonder if you are...too weak..."
"You are the weak one!" Tao Tao was unwilling, "I want it, I want it, I want it! Song Zhi, I want to eat you! I want it!"
Song Zhi hugged her tightly, "Not today, you should go to sleep and have a good rest for a few days..."
He originally thought that Dabai Tao was always heartless, and she would probably fall asleep if he let her make a fuss for a while. Moreover, she does not hold grudges. After a good sleep, all her unhappiness disappears.
But Taotao slept for a whole afternoon and is in good spirits now!
It's been going on for quite a while...
She just won't sleep.
Okay, you won’t give me food, right?
The big white peach twisted and turned... and caught little Song Zhi without anyone noticing.
Song Zhi was so shocked that he gasped!
After a long time, he finally surrendered.
So Dabai Taotao continued to twist and turn, secretly happy in her heart: Okay, okay, it's my turn!
Song Zhi felt happy, uncomfortable, and guilty, but he still locked Da Baitao tightly and coaxed her in a hoarse voice, "Be good, go to sleep... When you get better, I'll give it all to you, you can eat whatever you like..."
Taotao's eyes widened in shock, "I want to eat it now!"
Song Zhi firmly refused.
Da Bai Tao was so angry that she bit his collarbone, and bit it again and again... Of course, she couldn't bear to bite hard, so she changed to sucking. He sucked and sucked, whimpering softly with anger, and finally fell asleep.
Song Zhi bent down and kissed her. Feeling the wetness on her cheek, he couldn't help but sigh softly and wiped it dry bit by bit.
The next day, when Song Zhi got up in the morning and went to wash up, he saw in the bathroom mirror that there was a red mark on his collarbone... left by her sucking yesterday.
Delicate and tempting.
Song Zhi smiled, gently stroked the red mark with his fingers, quickly washed up, and went downstairs to make breakfast for Taotao.
Last night Taotao complained that white porridge was delicious, so he soaked half a cup of rice in the evening... Now he would just cook some white porridge for her, fry an egg, and mix some black fungus with vinegar as side dishes. I don’t feel full after drinking liquid food, and there is still a lot of braised pork left from yesterday, so I cooked some noodles and mixed them with the braised pork…
Song Zhi was busy in the kitchen. Taotao woke up upstairs and ran downstairs barefoot to find him. Finally, she stood at the kitchen door and didn't dare to go in.
——She has no shoes on. The floor at home is clean, so it's okay for her to run around barefoot. But it’s not suitable for the kitchen and toilet as there may be oil and water stains.
"Song Zhi! Song Zhi!" Taotao stood on tiptoe at the kitchen door and called his name.
Song Zhi was busy, he turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "...You don't even wear shoes!"
He walked over, took off his slippers and placed them in front of Taotao.
Taotao doesn't want to wear his shoes!
She lunged at him, forcing him to turn around, and then climbed right onto his back? !
Song Zhi bent his legs slightly and let her toss him around. When she climbed up and clamped her legs around his waist, he smiled, put on his slippers, and carried her back to the stove to continue making breakfast.
So Taotao leaned on his back and saw him chopped the braised meat skillfully and fried it in the pot... Noodles were being cooked in the casserole on the charcoal stove next to him? Next to him was the porridge he had cooked...
Taotao rolled her eyes and sucked his earlobe.
Song Zhi shuddered, "Stop it!"
Taotao giggled mischievously and put her hands on someone's pectoral muscles...
"Taotao, don't do this, my hands are all covered in oil!" Song Zhi exclaimed.
Tao Tao snorted and said proudly, "I know! I can bully you because you have oil on your hands! Otherwise, you would definitely resist, right?"
Then she slid down from behind him, smiled at him wickedly, slowly bent her knees, and grabbed Xiao Songzhi directly.
Song Zhi's mind went blank...
In the first round, Xiao Songzhi obediently vomited out all the food he had stored overnight.
In the second round, Dabaitao used some tricks to easily make Xiao Songzhi stand up, and then... she just let go.
Song Zhi burnt a pot of braised meat, but he couldn't do anything about it.
He could only look at Da Bai Tao with resentment and plead softly, "Can't we just do it like before?"
Taotao snorted and gave him a slap on the back of his head, "You are so beautiful! This is my revenge! Now you know how I felt last night, right? Just handle it yourself!"
After saying that, she skipped upstairs to wash up.
Song Zhi had nothing to say.
He was young and strong, full of vigor and vitality. He and Taotao had been married for just over a year, and their relationship was at its best.
It's really hard to restrain yourself.
but--
Let her take good care of herself!
Song Zhi smiled bitterly.
After bringing the prepared breakfast to the living room, Taotao got herself ready and came downstairs skipping and skipping.
Seeing her take off her pajamas and put on the skirt she wore when going out, Song Zhi asked her, "...Are you going out today?"
Tao Tao nodded. "School is about to start. I made an appointment with Zhang Lingzhi and Wang Bingyuan. On the last Monday before school starts, we will go to the supply and marketing cooperative together. I also have to go to the market to buy some fat meat to make oil..."
"I'll go buy the fat meat. I'll go to the market to order it later. I'll pick it up when I get home from get off work this afternoon. I'll come back to cook in the evening..." Song Zhi asked again, "Will you come back for lunch?"
"No, I'm going to eat outside with them!" Taotao replied.
Song Zhi then instructed, "I'll divide the pills you need to take at noon later. Take them with you and remember to take them after meals."
Taotao agreed and concentrated on eating breakfast.
The light-flavored rice porridge paired with the fragrant, crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside fried egg tastes just so good! The vinegar-mixed black fungus is a little spicy and very appetizing. There is also braised pork noodles, which is super tasty...
Song Zhi had a big appetite and he finished a large bowl of braised pork noodles cleanly. He also finished the half pot of white porridge and the remaining vinegar-mixed black fungus that Taotao had left.
Tao Tao asked him, "Have you been free recently?"
——During this period of time, he was still sitting here leisurely to eat with her, and said that he would come back in the afternoon to cook, which showed that he was not busy.
Sure enough, Song Zhi replied, "During the two months you were in training, I also rushed to complete the fourth phase of the project, so I can pause for a while... When school starts again, Professor Huang's project will also have the final phase of experiments."
Taotao nodded.
After dinner, Song Zhi went to wash the dishes, and Taotao cleaned up the house and the yard. Seeing that it was getting late, she urged him to leave quickly.
Song Zhi wrapped the pills Taotao was going to take in a piece of white paper and stuffed it into her cross-body bag before riding his bike to work.
Taotao went upstairs to tidy up her room, put on her cross-body bag and left home.
——She is not riding a bike today, because Zhang Lingzhi and Wang Bingyuan don’t have a car, and it is inconvenient for her to ride a bike.
Since you're not riding a bike, it would be a detour to go through the gate of the retirement home.
Taotao walked towards the back door.
Walking and walking...
She suddenly saw Song Zhi's bicycle parked aside - the basket hanging on the front of the bicycle was made by him, with a few iron wires as the frame and bamboo strips woven together. It was not very beautiful, but it was sturdy and durable.
But, didn’t Song Zhi go to work? Why is his bike here?
Taotao looked around.
Finally, she found a propaganda booth not far away.
The propaganda booth is actually a blackboard stand. Usually someone will put up blackboard newspapers on it according to the schedule, and during holidays, banners with celebratory messages will be hung. There is a rain shield on the top, covered with vines.
This place is open and airy. If Song Zhi is nearby, he could only be hiding in the propaganda booth.
Taotao walked over.
Before she got close, she heard Song Zhi's voice: "...This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
His tone was angry, frightened, and filled with an inexplicable anxiety.
Taotao widened her eyes:? ? ?
A familiar voice sounded, "...The pathology report says this, it is probably correct, that's why I said I want Taotao to do another test."
Taotao could tell that the person talking to Song Zhi was Zhou Chunsheng.
so?
"Then why didn't you let Taotao do it together yesterday? Why did you drag it until today?!" Song Zhi growled.
Zhou Chunsheng, "Sister Lili was here yesterday. And I... although I can be sure from experience that there is something wrong with Taotao's health, I still have to let Taotao get a check-up to get the final and most authoritative diagnosis. Before the final results come out, I don't want Sister Lili to worry. After all, Sister Lili just got pregnant, and it's not appropriate for her to experience extreme joy or sorrow."
Song Zhi murmured, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Taotao's parents are in good health, and her brothers and sisters have never had such a disease... Taotao is only twenty-one years old this year, how could she... how could she..."
Taotao, who was hiding behind the propaganda booth, was also confused.
What's going on?
Zhou Chunsheng only said calmly: "...Our current medical level is not good enough, and most urban and rural residents are not willing to seek medical treatment. But in both urban and rural areas, there are many examples of people who have turned minor illnesses into major illnesses, and then major illnesses into terminal illnesses, and finally cannot be cured... And cancer is becoming more and more common among younger people..."
Zhou Chunsheng said with a hint of complaint in his tone, "You are the person closest to her! Have you never paid attention to her health condition?"
Song Zhiwei sighed twice before saying, "Taotao...has always been very healthy..."
Zhou Chunsheng asked sternly, "It is because of your unprofessional determination and lack of medical knowledge that you are so arrogant!"
Song Zhi, "I..."
Zhou Chunsheng, "It's you who didn't take good care of Taotao!"
Hearing this, Taotao seemed to understand something.
——She seems to be seriously ill? Could it be an incurable disease?
How is this possible? !
Song Zhi took a deep breath, "I'll go find her now! Take her to the hospital for a checkup right away!"
Zhou Chunsheng, "One or two days won't make a difference. What if you rush to find her and scare her?"
"But……"
Zhou Chunsheng, "Since she has something to do today, don't go look for her. Let's go tomorrow! Tomorrow you can find a reason to take her to the hospital, and then, then we can find an excuse to ask her to draw some blood... Then we can hide it from her first and don't let her know. When the test results come out, if it's not positive, that would be the best. If it is true..."
With a "bang" sound——
Taotao was startled and took a step back.
It sounds like Song Zhi's legs went weak and he bumped into the bulletin board? Taotao heard his extremely suppressed and painful gasps, "This is impossible! Impossible... Taotao is still so young, she, she is only twenty-one years old!"
Zhou Chunsheng said, "I have to hurry back to work, so I'll leave first... Remember, don't tell anyone yet. Remember to bring Taotao to see me tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhou Chunsheng turned and left.
Taotao nimbly hid aside and used a promotional stand to conceal her figure.
Zhou Chunsheng didn't notice her.
After Zhou Chunsheng walked away, Taotao quietly stuck her head out again and saw Song Zhi sitting in front of the bulletin board in a disfigured state.
——He covered his face with his hands and cried silently.
Taotao didn't hear him crying, but she saw that he was trembling all over.
After a moment's silence, Taotao left quietly.
Taotao went to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative as agreed, and Zhang Lingzhi and Wang Bingyuan had already arrived.
Taotao and Zhang Lingzhi both attended a foreign language training camp. Although they saw each other every day, they didn’t have much time to chat or spend time together. And she hadn’t seen Wang Bingyuan for two months…
Taotao suppressed her inner doubts and anxieties and forced herself to chat with her friends.
The three of them went into the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some discounted goods such as rags, slightly dirty old clothes, out-of-season sweaters, out-of-stock shoes, etc. They also bought some notebooks, pencils and the like, and then left together.
Then we discussed what to eat.
Now Zhang Lingzhi's husband works as a food vendor at the train station. Zhang Lingzhi suggested that they buy some food from a nearby stall so that she could learn from him.
Taotao and Wang Bingyuan had no objection.
So, the three of them bought a lot of food that could be used as staple food or snacks: fried rice cakes with oil and salt, tung leaf rice, rice rolls and so on, which filled the empty lunch boxes that the three of them brought.
Then the three of them found a place with few people.
It was on the grass under a railway bridge, with a few big trees nearby, providing just the right shade.
The three of them sat on the floor and opened their lunch boxes.
——The vendor selling fried rice cakes with oil and salt was the most popular business just now, and the price was reasonable. A piece of rice cake, half the size of a palm and one finger thick, was only three cents, and the surface was dipped in egg liquid and fried until it turned golden yellow!
It looks very appetizing at first glance.
Even Taotao, who was full of thoughts, couldn't help but take the rice cake and take a bite!
Wow, it’s really delicious.
The rice cake is not made of pure rice, but has some glutinous rice mixed in it, so each piece of rice cake is square and well-shaped, and has a glutinous feeling in the mouth.
The rice cake is bland, with a layer of pickled vegetables in the middle, which has a slightly salty and fragrant taste. It is very flavorful and paired with the soft and glutinous rice, it is really delicious! The rice cake is also brushed with a layer of egg liquid on the outside and fried until crispy, which makes it taste even better!
The most important thing is that this piece of rice cake is not big, but because it contains glutinous rice inside and oily fried egg liquid outside... although it is a small piece, it can easily make people feel full!
Taotao finished the whole piece of fried rice cake and found it very delicious.
She also wanted to learn how to make such delicious fried rice cakes and make them for Song Zhi and her family in the future.
The delicious food she has eaten, the beautiful scenery she has seen, the interesting things she has experienced, the troubles she has had... she wants to share them all with her family!
But--
After a moment of silence, Tao Tao suddenly asked her friends, "If you only have ten days left to live, what will you do?"
Zhang Lingzhi was stunned, "Ah?"
Wang Bingyuan was also stunned, "What?"
Tao Tao, "I, I'm just... just asking this, for example."
Zhang Lingzhi thought for a moment, "If I only have ten days left to live... then I must make up for my regrets! Do all the things I wanted to do but never did before! Eat all the things I wanted to eat but never could! "
Wang Bingyuan also pondered, "If I only have ten days left to live, then I... must find a way to settle my sister and Xue Peng. One of them is old and weak, and the other is disabled... Alas, without me, their lives will be miserable!"
Taotao fell into deep thought.
——So at the end of life, people will do something to make amends for themselves, or settle the people or things that they are most worried about?
Taotao said goodbye to her friends and returned home.
It was just past three in the afternoon when Song Zhi returned.
The yard was cleaned very neatly, and there were even traces of water on the bluestone path; the flowers and plants had absorbed enough dew and exhaled a moist breath with the fragrance of plants.
He was chopping something in the kitchen, making a very rhythmic "bang bang bang" sound.
Tao Tao was silent for a moment, then smiled and shouted, "Song Zhi! I'm back!"
The sound of chopping on the chopping board suddenly stopped.
After a long while, Song Zhi, wearing an apron, came out.
He asked with a smile on his face, "You're back so soon? I'm chopping pork. How about meatballs for dinner?"
"OK!"
Tao Tao pretended not to see his red eyes and said, "I just bought two big watermelons and weighed two kilograms of grapes. The watermelon seller will deliver them to me soon... I'm going upstairs to take a shower first. It's so hot today!"
Song Zhi smiled and said "OK".
Taotao hurried upstairs.
She boiled a basin of hot water, washed her hair first, and then took a bath.
——There’s something strangely comforting about taking a hot bath on a hot day.
Sweaty, but also extremely relaxing. Especially after taking a bath, the feeling of relaxation is even stronger than taking a hot bath in winter.
Song Zhi came upstairs and brought a plate of washed purple grapes.
He moved a bench next to the tub, placed the grapes on it, and whispered, "Don't soak for too long, or you'll feel dizzy."
Tao Tao pretended not to hear his hoarse voice that had completely changed its pitch, and said "OK", then added: "Soak a watermelon in cold water, and after dinner we'll enjoy the moon and eat the watermelon together."
Song Zhi smiled, said "OK", lowered his head and walked away.
From beginning to end, he didn't dare to look at her directly.
I don’t know if he was afraid that she would see the tears on his face.
Taotao lay down beside the bathtub, reached out, picked up a grape and ate it.
hiss--
So sour!
Taotao fell into deep thought.
She was thinking about something while eating grapes slowly.
Only after she had eaten most of the plate of grapes and the water in the tub had grown cold did she get up weakly and rub her hair and body dry with a towel.
Taotao just felt weak in her limbs... and her head was dizzy, probably because she had been soaking in hot water for too long.
It really feels like I'm near death.
She staggered to the bed, threw herself on the soft big bed, and sighed comfortably.
——What if she only has a short time left to live?
Just as her friends said, she really should make up for her regrets.
However, after more than four years in this world, Taotao does not feel that she has any regrets.
——In every day that has passed, she has worked hard and cherished every opportunity. She felt that she had taken every day seriously, treated every member of her family sincerely, and completed her studies and work meticulously...
Bai Taotao has no regrets.
She wouldn't do better if she did it again.
So, make up for the regrets...
Really not necessary.
But there are still some regrets.
For example, she may not have more time to study hard, serve the people, and fulfill her dream of allowing all people in the country to live a life of freedom in eating meat;
She can no longer be with her family members who love her and whom she also loves, or see the little ones grow up safely and healthily, nor can she accompany her aging parents;
She couldn't go hiking with Song Zhi to see how big this country and this world were. She didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery she had never seen, nor did she have the chance to taste the delicacies she hadn't had the chance to eat...
It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t sad. Taotao lay on the bed in a daze and fell asleep.
A tear oozed from the corner of her tightly closed eyes, slid down her face onto the bed sheet, then dripped onto the bed sheet and disappeared.
Song Zhi prepared dinner downstairs, and when he came upstairs, he saw Taotao was asleep?
He was reluctant to wake her up, so he tiptoed to the bathroom, washed himself hastily with the still warm water in the bathtub she had used, then got into bed, hugged her and fell asleep.
I slept until after eight o'clock in the evening.
Almost as soon as she woke up and moved slightly, Song Zhi also woke up.
"Are you hungry?" he asked softly.
Tao Tao, who had had enough sleep, answered with full energy, "...I'm hungry!"
Song Zhi chuckled.
The healthy and lively Taotao can make him feel happy and joyful even if she does nothing, just by staying by his side.
He reached out and stroked her head, saying lovingly, "Let's eat downstairs? Or should I bring it up?"
Tao Tao's eyes widened, "Eat upstairs!"
"Then you have to wait a moment. I have to heat up the food first."
"Go ahead!"
After Song Zhi left, Taotao felt her body.
Apart from the discomfort caused by hunger, she didn't feel anything wrong with her body.
Song Zhi still needed to heat up the food, so he probably wouldn't go upstairs that quickly.
So Tao Tao sat cross-legged on the bed, pinched her hands, and circulated the spiritual energy in her golden elixir along the meridians of her body...
The earth is not the ancient continent of Xuanye with abundant spiritual energy.
After Taotao forced the spiritual energy in her body to circulate for a full cycle, it did not bring any benefits to her body. Instead, a lot of the spiritual energy escaped.
However, she was sure that there was nothing wrong with her body.
At most...
It is true that I have been feeling weak recently and had excessive sexual intercourse in the past two days, so I am not able to receive the nourishment.
so?
Could it be because she didn't understand the specific condition of this person's illness?
Since coming here, Taotao has been in good health. She occasionally catches a cold in winter, but as long as she dresses warmly, eats well, and drinks more brown sugar ginger water, she will get better without taking any medicine.
The "incurable disease" that Zhou Chunsheng discussed with Song Zhi was because she had never experienced it, so...she couldn't sense it with her spiritual energy?
At this time, Song Zhi came like an acrobat.
He held a soup bowl in one hand and a large basket on his arm. In the basket were several dishes, two empty bowls, chopsticks and other things. In the other hand, he held a rice pot...
It was indeed a sumptuous meal!
——There are steamed glutinous rice pearl meatballs, stir-fried pork liver with green and red peppers, and a portion of stir-fried vegetables, as well as a large bowl of very light loofah, tofu and pork soup, and a pot of steaming rice.
Taotao cheered!
She was so hungry that before Song Zhi had time to serve the rice... she hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, poked a pearl glutinous rice meatball, and took a bite.
The pork paste with the right amount of fat and lean meat was chopped very finely and may have been beaten, so it was very elastic. It is simply seasoned with salt and minced ginger, but the taste is just right. The glutinous rice on the surface is soft and chewy, and absorbs some of the gravy, which is just right to relieve greasiness and enhance the flavor...
Taotao finished eating a whole meatball and said, "That's great!"
Taotao took the rice handed to her by Song Zhi, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and then stared at the fried pork liver for a long time.
She doesn't like eating pork liver very much, she always thinks it's a bit fishy.
Pork liver and green peppers are a perfect match, but Taotao can't eat spicy food...
But since Song Zhi made this dish today, she still wanted to try it.
"Eat it, don't worry... It's not spicy," Song Zhi said as he put a piece of fried pork liver in her bowl with chopsticks, "I removed all the chili seeds and soaked it in water for most of the day, changing it four or five times... It's really not spicy, try it."
Taotao tried it curiously and her eyes lit up!
It’s really not spicy!
Of course it's not not spicy, there's still a little bit of spiciness, but it's already within the acceptable range for Taotao. And maybe Song Zhi was afraid that the spicy taste would be too strong, so he added a little white sugar in it.
The caramelized aroma of sugar enhances the overall taste of the dish, but because the portion is small, the sweetness is not prominent. Instead, it makes people feel that it adds just the right amount of freshness to the whole dish!
"It turns out that pork liver is so delicious!" Taotao finished the fried pork liver in the rice bowl, took a mouthful of rice, took another chopstick of pork liver, and asked Song Zhi, "...Why did you suddenly buy pork liver?"
Song Zhi smiled and said, "Pork liver supplements iron!"
Taotao looked at Song Zhi.
Song Zhi picked up another meatball and put it into her bowl.
Taotao understood the sadness he was trying hard to conceal.
She said nothing, ate the meatball obediently, and waited quietly for his reason.
——The reason for asking her to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow.
Song Zhi hesitated and remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Taotao, tomorrow...tomorrow I want to go to the hospital for a physical examination."
Taotao was stunned, thinking, shouldn't he trick her into going for a physical examination and having her blood drawn?
She nodded obediently, "Okay!" and followed his words and asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"
——It’s better to get tested earlier, so that you can get treatment early if you are sick, and feel relieved if you are healthy.
Song Zhi hesitated for a while and said, "How about you accompany me to have another physical examination? It's just a blood test, it's not that complicated."
Taotao thinks Song Zhi is really bad at lying!
She decided to play by the rules, "But I just had a physical examination yesterday."
Song Zhi explained awkwardly, "It's different. We'll go tomorrow and check different items. Tomorrow we'll check, check... check if I'm infertile."
