Because Jianshu almost fell, Gu Mingjing hurriedly moved the packages on the ground. She only took one at a time and took the next one after unpacking it.
Although Jianshu felt that this was a bit too cautious, he understood that he felt guilty, so he didn't say anything and let him go.
The remaining packages were also sent by close friends and relatives, most of which were local specialties. For example, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Gu family sent a lot of raisins, dates, coconut palms, wolfberries, etc.
I really like Jianshu after reading it.
It is not easy to travel around nowadays, and transportation is not very convenient. Various local specialties that are common in later generations are not easy to obtain nowadays.
These are all good things. Raisins can not only be eaten as snacks, but can also be used to make various pastries. Adding some to red dates and wolfberries when making soup is very good for the body.
These dried foods are also prohibited, as they are enough to last for a while.
Thinking of this, Jian Shu smiled and said to Gu Mingjing, "These are all good things. Although Big Brother's place is remote, it has a lot of good things. I heard that they have a lot of fruits and vegetables, and the mutton is also excellent. There are also various medicinal herbs. If I have the chance in the future, I must go there to experience it."
Gu Mingjing grabbed a few raisins and threw them into his mouth. "Why? My wife wants to eat mutton? Mutton from other places is out of reach these days, but the ones nearby are fine. I'll go get some meat in a couple of days and we'll have a mutton hotpot!"
Seeing him eating raisins one by one, Jian Shu couldn't help but reach out and pat them, saying angrily, "You haven't washed them yet? They're covered in dust. They're so dirty to eat!"
"It's okay, it won't make you sick if you eat something dirty!" Gu Mingjing said he didn't care at all, but he still stopped.
"You're just full of big talk!" Jian Shu rolled his eyes at him. "I think you're just lazy. You clearly want to eat mutton hotpot, but you insist on blaming me."
"Hehe, my wife is really good at seeing things." He was not embarrassed at all after being exposed, and continued to smile playfully at Jian Shu, "Hasn't it been a long time since I last had it? So I missed it so much."
After hearing what he said, Jian Shu also felt a little greedy, but then he remembered something and frowned, "It's okay to eat mutton hotpot, but when we came here, the only luggage we brought was some clothes and blankets. We didn't bring the copper pot for hotpot. Now without the copper pot, the mutton hotpot will not taste the same at all."
Unexpectedly, Gu Mingjing laughed when he heard it. "It's just a small matter. Just buy a new one. I think the supply and marketing cooperative also sells them. I will bring one back for you in a few days."
"Okay, you have to remember, leave the meat to me. I have the connections, you just go to work and don't worry." Jianshu agreed and took on the task of buying meat.
There are a lot of sheep in her space. They have increased year by year over the years and now occupy two hills.
When she wanted to eat it in a few days, she would pick one out and kill it. Wouldn't it be fresher and more delicious than buying it from someone else? And she wouldn't have to rely on luck; every part she wanted would be available, so there was no need to go far to find it.
Gu Mingjing glanced at Jianshu and replied with a smile, "Thank you for troubling my wife over there. I'll just be a hands-off boss and come back to sit and wait for dinner!"
"You can eat, but it's your job to wash the pots and dishes after you finish eating!" Jianshu didn't bother to be polite with him and assigned the tasks straightforwardly.
"Of course!"
The two chatted about food for a while longer, then finished unpacking the remaining packages. There were so many things, so they sorted them out for a while before finally packing everything up.
After collecting everyone's replies, Jian Shu finally remembered to ask, "Why are you back so early today? Are you here to pick something up or something? Are you still going?"
It's not even his usual time to get off work yet.
Gu Mingjing leaned back on the sofa and shook his head. "No need. We had a match today, and those bastards in our group won. They were making a lot of noise, so we just gave them half a day off. Tomorrow, when they've calmed down, we'll give them a good beating!"
Hearing the few casual words he said, which were filled with murderous intent, Jianshu couldn't help but mourn for those "bastards".
Why pick on this living devil when there are so many people to pick on?
Many times she doesn't dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers, okay? Or is it too arrogant?
"Okay, let's not talk about that. I saw you knitting a sweater when I came back just now. Why didn't you go next door to talk to Sister Zhao?" Gu Mingjing picked up the sweater beside him and couldn't help laughing after seeing it clearly. His wife felt sorry for him.
Jian Shu's face felt slightly hot from his smile, so she snatched it and stuffed it behind her back. "Daya hasn't been feeling well these past few days, and Sister Xiufang is taking care of her. The family is very busy, so wouldn't it be disturbing to go there now?"
If she went, Wu Xiufang would have to accompany her all the way, and she would have to worry about the children. Why would she cause trouble for others?
"Are you sick? Are you okay? I met Captain Zhao when I came back earlier, but I didn't hear him mention it." Gu Mingjing was slightly surprised.
"It's not a serious illness. I just have been feeling a little uncomfortable in my stomach these past few days. Why would Captain Zhao mention this to you for no reason?"
Who would keep talking about their sick child and wait for others to tell them that their child is sick?
"Have you been to the hospital? Although it's not a serious illness, it hasn't healed in several days. It's better to see a doctor." Because the two families have a good relationship recently and the sick one is a child, Gu Mingjing asked a few more questions.
When he was a child, there was a child in his class who was feeling unwell. Initially, the parents and teachers thought it was a minor problem, and since most people were not used to going to the hospital, they didn't take it seriously. Later, when the condition worsened, the parents realized something was wrong and rushed him to the hospital, but he was already dead before they even arrived.
A living person is gone just like that. Although the two of them didn't have much contact in normal times, this kind of thing still makes people sad.
"That's what I advised you too, but you know, when people are sick, they basically just tough it out. At most, they'll get a couple of pills to take home, but going to the hospital for a checkup is absolutely impossible. Sister Xiufang feels sorry for the child, and after thinking about it, she decided to take Yaya to the hospital if she's still not feeling well tomorrow." Jian Shu looked helpless when he said this.
Let alone now, even a few decades in the future, not many people would go to the hospital for a checkup if they had any ailment. At best, they would get some medicine, an injection, or an IV drip at a clinic. Ordinary people always kept a distance from hospitals.
Gu Mingjing was silent for a long while before he said, "We just need to do our best. The rest is not something we can change. I just hope that tomorrow's checkup will show that everything is fine and there are no major problems."
"That's all we can do." Jian Shu sighed after saying that.
The issue of seeing a doctor has been a major problem for thousands of years.
Not only do they lack this awareness, but more importantly, they don’t dare to do it.
There are always many people who are afraid to see a doctor because of their illness.
People always think that if they don’t go to the doctor, they won’t be sick, they won’t have to spend money on medical treatment, and they won’t have to worry about the money for medical treatment.
As long as you don't know, you'll be fine.
These are not things that can be changed by one or two people.
They don't have that ability, they can only take care of themselves.
