Li Caixia answered crisply, "I can do everything. I even went to middle school for two years."
Wang Yuzhen asked in surprise: "Where do you work?"
Li Caixia said heartlessly: "I haven't started working yet. I'm just helping Teacher Jiang with cooking and housework."
Wang Yuzhen was even more surprised: "You've been Jiang's nanny? How long has it been?"
"Sister, go to the kitchen and make some porridge. Doctor Jiang can only drink porridge soup." Chen Zhenbao felt something was wrong and hurried forward: "This is my cousin. She is not old enough to work yet. She is currently taking cultural tutoring lessons with Teacher Jiang."
Wang Yuzhen's eyes were sharp. She could tell at once that Chen Zhenbao was covering up, so she said nothing. "Oh, if he's someone I know, that would be great. It would be best if he could take good care of Jiang. This would save Director Ye from worrying, and our neighbors from worrying too."
Jiang Yun coughed weakly a few times.
Wang Yuzhen walked over and bent down slightly: "Jiang, I feel relieved that someone is taking care of you. If you need any help, feel free to call me."
Jiang Jun panted lightly and coughed again: "Thank you, Dean Wang, for your concern!"
Her voice was almost inaudible, and she was coughing so hard that she could barely catch her breath. Wang Yuzhen was so startled that she couldn't stand still. "Jiang, if you can't eat this pot of noodles, give it to this comrade and his cousin. They must be hungry after working so hard. Eat some while it's hot. Hagi and I will be leaving first so we don't disturb you from resting! I'll call Director Ye."
Jiang Jun nodded lightly with half-open eyes, then fell asleep in a daze. She didn't know what happened next or when everyone left.
When she woke up, it was already completely dark.
Li Caixia squatted at the head of the bed, watching her cautiously, afraid that she would disturb Jiang Jun: "Teacher Jiang, are you feeling better? Would you like some porridge or soup?"
Jiang Jun felt uncomfortable all over: "It hurts."
Li Caixia touched Jiang Jun's forehead with her palm: "You're still running a fever! The doctor needs to give you some medicine to reduce the fever, and then you can give him some porridge and soup in half an hour."
Jiang Yun received a fever-reducing injection in the hospital. As the anti-inflammatory medicine might damage her stomach, the doctor prescribed a decoction of toe medicine, along with a multitude of precautions. Fortunately, Chen Zhenbao had a good memory, and after returning to the Chen family, he wrote down everything and explained it carefully to Li Caixia.
Jiang Jun slept for a while, and felt a burning sensation in his throat: "Thirst!"
"Okay," Li Caixia jumped up and fetched a glass of water. She supported Jiang Yun with one hand and fed her with the other, reminding her in a nagging voice, "Just drink a couple of sips of boiled water. You'll need to drink the toe medicine later. Don't dilute it."
Jiang Jun took a few sips of water to moisten his throat, then frowned as if remembering something: "Is the toe medicine very bitter?"
Drinking toe medicine soup, how bitter it must be! She used to take tablets or capsules, which were a little difficult to swallow, but at least she didn't have to have a bitter taste in her mouth!
Li Caixia teased Jiang Jun like she was coaxing a child: "If you can drink it in one gulp, it won't be bitter. Look, I've got a piece of candy. If you finish drinking it in big gulps, I'll put a piece of candy in your mouth right away!"
Just like that, from taking medicine to drinking soup, from washing to combing hair and changing clothes, Li Caixia took care of Jiang Jun like a special nurse. Even when she slept, she moved two stools together, wrapped herself in a quilt, and took a nap at the end of Jiang Jun's bed so that she could hear Jiang Jun's needs at any time.
Jiang Jun did not resist at all and obediently let Li Caixia serve him. He took medicine when asked to take medicine and drank porridge when asked to drink porridge. He cooperated very well.
Perhaps she herself did not even know that she enjoyed Li Caixia's care so much, partly because she felt at ease despite her illness, and partly because she enjoyed the calmness of maternal love.
Wang Yuzhen came over twice more and was very pleased to see Jiang Yun in such high spirits. "Oh, Jiang, you look much better! Li is really capable! Now I can explain to Director Ye! The phone line has been down, and the roads are difficult to get to. Director Ye is very worried. He's worried you can't buy vegetables, and he wants to send you food, but he can't. Director Ye and I have no reason to worry. As long as we have a cabbage at home, we will give you half of it."
The first snow in Beijing was heavy, and various units organized staff to clear the main roads to clear them as quickly as possible. Many power poles had fallen, and power outages persisted in many areas. Vegetables like cabbage and leeks were completely sold out, and long lines formed at the grocery counters in department stores.
Jiang Jun smiled and asked Li Caixia to take two white radishes and two large cabbages to Wang Yuzhen's family to express her gratitude - since it is a good thing to talk about something, Dean Wang should help call Ye Qingyin to report her news, so at least he should say a few nice words!
These vegetables were sent to Jiang Jun by Chen Zhenbao when he was not on duty. In addition to a basket of cabbage, white radish and leeks, there were also a few slaughtered pheasants. He was just waiting for the doctor to agree that Jiang Jun could eat them, and asked Li Caixia to make soup for Jiang Jun at any time.
He also brought Chen Yuanwu's greetings: "Teacher Jiang, Chief of Staff Chen told me that before he comes back, I must not let you make any more mistakes!"
Li Caixia continued, "Brother Bao, do you think it's okay for me to play Teacher Jiang's drum?"
Chen Zhenbao didn't dare look at Jiang Yun. He just glanced at her quickly. When he heard Jiang Yun's voice become clearer, he thought it was very good: "Zhao is very good, I'll record a commendation for you!"
Li Caixia narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Really? What's the prize?"
Chen Zhenbao said jokingly, "As long as I can do it, you can ask for anything!"
Li Caixia was delighted: "Whatever I want to say, that's great. Let me think about it, um... I think..."
Jiang Jun coughed loudly: "Ah, cough, cough, cough."
Li Caixia quickly ran over and patted Jiang Jun's back vigorously: "Teacher Jiang, why are you coughing again? The doctor said that after the fever subsides, you will have a runny nose and then cough. Why are you coughing first?"
Jiang Jun continued to cough: "Who needs to come in order when they are sick?"
Chen Zhenbao reminded from the side: "Caixia, can you see if it's time for Teacher Jiang to take his medicine?"
Li Caixia had a good memory: "It's been less than two hours since I took the medicine. I still have to wait another two hours before taking the medicine! Brother Bao, remember to take Teacher Jiang to the hospital to get the test results tomorrow."
Chen Zhenbao: "Of course I remember. I specially switched shifts with my comrades. I'll be here early tomorrow morning."
Li Caixia gave Chen Zhenbao a thumbs-up and said, "That hospital is so huge! If you hadn't taken us there, I would have gotten lost."
Jiang Jun had no choice but to cough again: "Captain Chen, you are busy with work, go back first."
