Chapter 136: A token of my affection



"I thought it was an insect bite and didn't pay much attention to it. But just now, Baogen's face was red and he could hardly breathe.

The barefoot doctor said he had never seen such symptoms and asked us to send Baogen to the county hospital.

Xiao Zhuang has gone to the cattle shed to drive the cart. But the cart is slow, and Xiao Zhuang is afraid he might not make it in time, so he asked me to come over and borrow your bicycle.

Qin Jianye understood immediately: "This thing is an allergy."

Oh my god, that's troublesome. Severe allergies can be fatal.

Who would have thought that the captain was so picky and would react so strongly after eating such a tiny amount of food.

Qin Jianye hurried into the house, pretended to rummage around, took out an empty porcelain bottle from the cabinet and put it in his pocket, then stepped on "Hot Wheels" and headed straight for the captain's house.

Seeing Xiaozhuang putting the captain with rashes all over his face onto the ox cart, Qin Jianye hurried forward, poured out a white pill from the porcelain bottle and stuffed it into the captain's mouth.

"Xiao Zhuang, hurry up and pour some water!"

The captain's son, Qin Xiaozhuang, nodded blankly, rushed back to the kitchen, and scooped out a bucket of cold water.

Qin Jianye glared at him, wondering how a son could feed a patient cold water.

But he didn't have time to scold him, fearing that any further delay would worsen Qin Baogen's condition. He simply poured several sips of cold water into the captain's mouth, nearly freezing his teeth.

The captain coughed twice and woke up. He felt an itch all over his body, so Qin Jianye reminded him, "You're allergic. Take the medicine quickly."

The captain was a little confused, but he still subconsciously followed Qin Jianye's instructions. After swallowing the bitter pill in his mouth, he asked weakly, "What is an allergy?"

Qin Jianye said with a bitter face: "I just can't eat fish and shrimp."

Qin Xiaozhuang was puzzled: "My dad has eaten fish and shrimp before!"

Qin Jianye sighed, "You can eat what's in the river, but you can't eat what's in the sea. Who would have thought you would have this problem?"

Luckily, I heard about this from the fishermen when I was at the beach, so I bought some medicine just in case. Otherwise, you would be in trouble today."

"Yeah, I almost suspected that I was going to meet my ancestors."

The captain was exhausted. He knew that it was his greed that caused the disaster, but he did not blame Qin Jianye. Instead, he was grateful to Qin Jianye for saving him in time.

This incident reminded him to stay away from anything in the sea in the future, so as to avoid the same fate as today, where he almost lost his life.

The captain's allergy came and went quickly. In a short while, the rash on his face had mostly disappeared.

Xiao Zhuang exclaimed: "Uncle San, this medicine works!"

Qin Jianye chuckled: "Of course, your uncle spent a lot of money to get this."

In the later world, allergy medicine was very expensive. The kind he bought cost more than ten yuan per pill. He could buy a whole box of cold medicine instead. But for a wealthy boss like Qin, it was nothing.

Seeing that Qin Baogen's condition was basically stable, he and Qin Xiaozhuang moved the team leader back.

Qin Jianye stayed inside the house and poured the captain a cup of warm water to warm him up, while Qin Xiaozhuang drove the oxcart to the back of the yard and stored it there in case of emergency.

The captain's wife hurried back, but when she saw that the ox cart was gone, she was so scared that she almost fell to the ground.

Thinking that her baby Baogen was dying, Xiaozhuang didn't dare to wait and sent him to the hospital first.

Chen Yunwei quickly supported her and said, "Auntie, the door is open. Let's go in and ask if the captain's condition has improved."

"Oh oh, yes!"

The captain's wife stumbled and pushed open the wooden door of her house, and saw Xiao Zhuang coming out of the backyard. She held back her tears and asked, "Where's your father?"

Could it be that he has died?

"Inside the house." After Qin Xiaozhuang said that, he saw his mother rushing in like the wind.

Then he looked at his old man blankly: "Why are you sitting up!" His face was rosy.

Is this illness getting better too quickly?

Qin Baogen also felt that Qin Laosan's medicine was somewhat magical, so he told him the whole story.

The captain's wife was stunned for a long time before she glared at Qin Jianye unhappily. She thought that if he hadn't been showing off, her man wouldn't have suffered this unprovoked disaster.

Qin Jianye knew that he had made others annoyed, so he told the captain to have a good rest and went back with his wife and daughter.

On that day, the news that the team leader had a stomachache spread throughout the team. Some people said that the ingredients Qin Jianye used were not fresh, and some people said that the team leader was in poor health.

Both families stayed at home and did not respond.

It was not until the next day when Qin Baogen appeared in front of everyone in high spirits that they learned that there was an emergency in this world called "allergy". It was really an eye-opener for them.

"It turns out you can't just eat random things. I never thought of that!"

"That's right! Two years ago, there was a girl named Ruyi over there who said eggplant was spicy. I didn't believe her and thought she had a problem with her mouth.

If I had known this earlier, I would have agreed to let my son marry her."

"It's not too late now. I heard that girl isn't married yet. And your third child is already grown up. Go ask her. Maybe she'd be willing."

"Hey, you have a point. I'll go ask."

Gossip updates so quickly that the captain’s allergy hasn’t caused any waves yet, but has been taken away by the lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

However, those members who originally planned to exchange some fish and shrimp to take back for the New Year became hesitant and never mentioned the matter again.

The Qin family's "deserted" status made Zhao Dandan excited for a long time.

Because seafood can't be kept for a long time, it will go bad if not eaten in hot weather. In other words, she can enjoy a feast during the Spring Festival.

Of course, Qin Jianye would not take so many seafood home at once. He took some home and went to the city to give as gifts.

First, I would like to thank the leaders of the transportation team for their care over the past six months.

Two bags were filled with fish, shrimp, fruits, and special cakes from the capital and Hai City.

Although the leaders had no shortage of these things, they still accepted Qin Jianye's kindness and encouraged him to work hard and have a bright future.

Qin Jianye agreed with a smile, talked with the leaders about future development, and then left.

After inquiring at the post office, I learned that his letter had arrived earlier. Su Zheyu had intended to deliver the letter to him personally, but had forgotten in his busy schedule. It was truly a case of good intentions leading to bad results.

The young man apologized to Qin Jianye with a guilty look on his face, fearing that Qin Jianye would blackmail him for 1,800 yuan.

Qin Jianye waved his hand: "Forget it this time, it didn't delay the important matter. If you are careless again, you will make trouble sooner or later."

Su Zheyu humbly accepted the advice and deeply reflected on his own carelessness. Qin Jianye pulled two cakes from his pocket as a Spring Festival gift for the young man.

Su Zheyu immediately became happy and kept calling him brother, without any hesitation.

Qin Jianye didn't waste time in the post office. He put the envelope into the space and went to Li Rufeng's house.

He hadn't been here for a long time. He was afraid that others would say he was trying to gain connections, and he was also afraid that someone would report County Magistrate Li for abusing his power, so he tried to avoid it.

But this is the Spring Festival, the most festive day of the year. Plus, I've been to two big cities in a row, so I have to come over to express my feelings.
