[Chapter 109 Chapter 109 Dowry]
After coming out of the commander's office, Cheng Liyan did not go home immediately, but went to the health center.
Seeing him coming, Han Ying immediately came out nervously and asked, "Xiao Cheng, why are you here at this time? Is Xiao Shen feeling unwell?"
Cheng Liyan quickly said, "No, no, don't be nervous, sister."
He smiled gratefully and said, "Thanks so much to you yesterday."
"Hey, why are you being so polite to me? I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay. Xiao Shen was scared by you yesterday."
Han Ying is a military doctor, so she naturally understands the rules of the army very well. She would not ask a single question that she shouldn't ask.
So she didn't ask Cheng Liyan what happened yesterday, but just told him to spend more time with Shen Yuyao when he has time.
He said that it would not be easy for a young girl to live her life if she married him.
Cheng Liyan agreed to it seriously.
The two chatted for a while, and Han Ying asked Cheng Liyan again about the purpose of his trip.
Cheng Liyan then said, "Sister, I want to buy some medicine in our health center. Is it convenient?"
"What medicine do you want to buy? What's wrong with you?" Han Ying was puzzled.
"No, I just want to buy some common medicine. Like treating fever and cold, so that it will be more convenient to keep at home."
"How far is your house from the health center? Why don't you come to see a doctor when you are sick? Why are you stockpiling medicine? There is no need!" Han Ying expressed her disapproval.
Cheng Liyan looked a little embarrassed, and he said, "It's not for us to use. I want to buy some for others."
Han Ying looked at him suspiciously: "Who are you buying it for? I don't have to ask, this is the rule in our hospital.
If you use it yourself, we will provide medical assistance every month, so it doesn't cost anything. If you use it for Xiao Shen, the proportion of military families' self-payment is 10%, and the rest of the cost is also free. But if you buy it for someone else..."
"It's for others." Cheng Liyan interrupted her immediately.
"I bought some for the families of my former comrades. Sister, you know I have many comrades. Some have returned to their hometowns, and some have died. Many of them live in the countryside, and the medical conditions are not good. I want to buy some spare medicines and send them to them, just to be prepared."
"Oh, I understand."
Han Ying sighed, "You two are both good people! A few days ago, Xiao Shen came here to buy medicine for her colleague's family, and now you have to buy medicine for your comrades.
No problem, I will definitely help you with this. Just tell me what you want, and I will see if there is any spare parts in the warehouse, and I can prepare it for you. Of course, you have to pay for the medicine as usual."
"Of course, I understand that."
Cheng Liyan was not an expert on medicines either, so he just asked for some that he might need in daily life.
For minor illnesses and disasters like fever, cold, cough, and diarrhea, you should prepare as much as possible.
In addition, you should prepare some anti-inflammatory drugs and medicines for treating external injuries, and of course, some gauze and tape.
Han Ying agreed to all of them.
I also told him that the weather would soon get hot and it would be almost time for the summer harvest.
In addition to medicine for external injuries, you should also prepare some medicine for anthelmintics and cooling down.
Cheng Liyan naturally expressed his approval.
Han Ying went to the warehouse to take a look, and came back to tell Cheng Liyan that she could prepare enough medicine for ten people for ten days, and asked him if it was enough.
Cheng Liyan did not respond immediately, but only said that he had many comrades-in-arms, and since he had to deliver the gifts, he would deliver them to as many of them as possible.
Let Han Ying help him to arrange it and see if he can get more.
Han Ying agreed and asked him to come again tomorrow.
So, Cheng Liyan wrote an IOU and went home with a big cardboard box.
When Cheng Liyan arrived home, Shen Yuyao was in the cabin looking at the food box that her mother had just sent over.
She had already told her mother that she had told the secret to Cheng Liyan, and also told her mother that Cheng Liyan also called her mother.
Auntie is very happy!
So, today's food box has two more layers than before!
In addition to the Prime Minister's Mansion's signature dishes, A'niang also personally cooked a Four-Spice Pigeon Soup, saying that it was for her son-in-law to nourish himself.
That pigeon soup is A-niang’s specialty, and it’s the recipe she brought as a dowry.
A secret medicine bag was put into the soup, which was said to have the effects of strengthening the spleen, nourishing the stomach, warming the body and clearing away heat.
Apart from her own family, A Niang has never done this for outsiders.
Hearing the door opening, she came out of the house.
"What are you holding?" Shen Yuyao was very surprised to see her husband coming back with such a big cardboard box.
"They are all good stuff, come and take a look!" Cheng Liyan gave her a mysterious smile, which was full of complacency.
Shen Yuyao walked over immediately.
After opening the box and looking at the almost full box of various medicines, Shen Yuyao was completely shocked!
She looked at her husband with eyes wide open, and asked in disbelief, "Is this for me to send home?"
"Of course, otherwise why would we keep it?" Cheng Liyan smiled.
"It's OK if you didn't know before, but now that you know, I, as your new son-in-law, must show some appreciation. Speaking of which, your parents gave you so many things as a dowry, but I didn't even give a single gift. I feel a little guilty just thinking about it.
You know what our family's current situation is. If you really ask me to give you all the gold and silver, I really can't do it.
Then I'll think of another way.
Please deliver these medicines to home. I'll ask Sister Han to write down the instructions for use and precautions on a piece of paper. You can ask your parents to distribute them.
I know these are definitely not enough, but let's use them first. I told Sister Han and asked her to help find some more.
In addition, when I return to the regiment tomorrow to hand over my work, I will go to the regiment’s clinic again, and it should be able to open some more.
I'll take it back when the time comes."
Shen Yuyao looked at the medicines and listened to Cheng Liyan's words. For a moment, she couldn't believe that this was true.
After A Niang recovered from her illness, her eldest brother hinted in a letter to her, asking her to see if she could find some more such special medicines to send back for use in emergency situations.
Shen Yuyao has always been very familiar with her eldest brother's temper.
Her eldest brother always thought of himself as the eldest brother and habitually stood ahead of his younger siblings in all matters at home.
He would habitually consider each of his brothers and sisters.
If it wasn't a special need, or if it wasn't a special want, Shen Yuyao knew that her brother wouldn't ask her for it.
Now that her elder brother has said it, she will not let his words fall on deaf ears.
Shen Yuyao has been thinking these days, how can she prescribe some medicine without arousing suspicion?
I didn’t expect my husband to do it today!
At this moment, she looked at Cheng Liyan and felt that his whole body was glowing!
