Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 190 Peach Blossom Face

After putting going to high school at the top of their to-do list, the two of them became quiet again.

The main reason was that Xue Li was in a bad mood. She had been feeling a little depressed since she was injured. The argument with Chen Jinghan yesterday exacerbated this mood.

Although she was satisfied with the result of the dispute, Lin Anna was the source of her anger. Now she was still in the hospital and out of reach. She couldn't help but feel anxious because she thought too much.

Jiang Yu leaned his hands on the window frame. The ground outside was still wet. It had rained heavily for so many days. It would probably take until tomorrow for the ground to dry.

The ground of Hongqi Commune is paved with cement, but the roads in the towns and villages outside are all made of yellow mud. The road conditions must be terrible now. Whether walking or riding a bike, it is inevitable to get your legs splashed with mud.

Jiang Yu also thought of the rice fields in the brigade. He wondered what they looked like now. Was the rush to harvest done? But it was raining so hard and so many people had caught colds. If Zhuang Shouren forced everyone to rush to harvest, the rice they harvested would probably not be enough to buy medicine.

She looked outside with her mind full of wild thoughts, watching others riding their bikes by, watching the leaves swirling and falling, she had nothing to do anyway.

But Xue Li behind her suddenly reached out and pulled her.

Jiang Yu turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"They are coming down." Xue Li raised his chin and nodded to the people who were walking out.

They were the family members of the patient just mentioned, but it was strange that whatever they took when they came, they still took the same thing when they left.

"What does this mean? Don't care about their mothers?" Jiang Yu didn't understand. Not only did they leave without a trace, but they also took away all their belongings. So what would their mothers do?

Xue Li suddenly felt that his previous guess was probably correct. The old lady was most likely rehabilitated. The younger generations who had previously severed ties with her came around again because they saw that there was something to gain, but the old lady didn't want to accept it. "Those old people haven't come down yet."

"Then let's wait a little longer." Jiang Yu's gaze shifted, and suddenly he saw a young nurse holding a small cloth bag and walking quickly into a closed office.

No idea what treasure he had taken. She took a look at it and then ignored it.

But not long after, someone came out of the closed office. It was a white-haired old man. The young nurse supported him and went upstairs with a small cloth bag.

Jiang Yu looked at it again with concern.

Xue Li heard the noise outside and looked at the clock in the hospital. It was already 5 o'clock.

Maybe because the sun was out today, it didn't get dark so quickly outside, so they didn't realize how time passed so quickly.

Xue Li looked up and asked Jiang Yu, "Do you want to go back to the ward? You can go to the restaurant to see if there is anything delicious."

Jiang Yu saw the workers coming out of get off work and immediately reacted, "Okay, I'll take you home first."

However, when they walked out of the ward, they found that the door was locked.

Jiang Yu was puzzled.

Xue Li raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Is anyone inside? Open the door."

"Wait a moment!" the person inside quickly agreed.

After a while, a well-dressed old lady came out.

She came out blocking the door and then closed it.

The two little girls looked at her in confusion.

The old lady burst out laughing, and then she explained apologetically, "We have invited an old doctor to come and see our friend. It will take some time. Could you please wait for a moment?"

It turned out that they were seeing a doctor. The two nodded, "Okay." Xue Li turned to Jiang Yu and said, "Or you can push me to the state-owned restaurant for dinner! I haven't been out for a long time."

Jiang Yu scratched his head and said, "Let's go ask the doctor first."

The old lady quickly stopped them and said, "If you want to eat later, come with us. We will be in there for a while, and we old bones can't go hungry, so we have to eat too."

"No need, we can just go eat by ourselves." Xue Li waved his hands quickly. What a joke, why should we eat with strangers.

The old lady smiled friendly, "It's fine if we eat separately, but we have delayed your time after all, so we will treat you to this meal as an apology."

Jiang Yu still declined, "No, no, it's not a big deal. The patient is the most important. We can just go and eat by ourselves."

The old lady wanted to persuade her, but Jiang Yu immediately said that the doctor was about to go off work, so they would go find the doctor first, and then she pushed the wheelchair and ran away with Xue Li.

Seeing this, the old lady laughed again.

After hearing what the two had said, the doctor in the duty room simply told them not to eat spicy food and not to order oily or greasy dishes.

"Okay, doctor!" Xue Li nodded quickly, then pulled Jiang Yu's sleeve to urge her.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to push her wheelchair and leave in a hurry.

Xue Li, who was finally released from hospital after half a month, was as energetic as a slaughter. However, it was useless for her to be excited, because Jiang Yu was holding the wheelchair handle.

Jiang Yu steadily brought the person to the state-owned restaurant. Because there was a threshold, she simply bent down, picked up the wheelchair and walked in.

Xue Li smelled the delicious food inside, as if he had been hungry for days. "Oh my god, today we have sweet and sour pork, so fragrant and sweet! And there are also three fresh vegetables! The soft and sticky eggplant is simply a magical tool for rice! And there is also stir-fried pork with cabbage, I want to eat it~"

"You can't eat!" Jiang Yu refused directly and found an empty seat for her to wait.

Jiang Yu has been coming here a lot recently, and the waiters are all familiar with her. When they see her coming, they immediately greet her with a smile, "Come on, what do you want to eat today?"

"I brought my friend here, the one who is in the hospital. Are there any lighter dishes?" Jiang Yu still remembered the doctor's instructions.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and ask the chef." said the waiter hurriedly.

It didn’t take long for her to come back and she told Jiang Yu directly, “I can make you a bowl of peach blossom noodles, and I’ll make you other dishes with less oil.”

"Okay, I want some stir-fried pork and cabbage, and give me a portion of fried rice." He didn't order anything else, or else Xue Li would be greedy. The cabbage was less oily, so she could eat a few bites. Jiang Yu took out the money quickly.

The waiter gave her the change, asked her to wait for her number to be called, and then continued to take the next order.

Xue Li stared at Jiang Yu eagerly, and when he saw her come back, he hurriedly asked what dishes she ordered.

"You eat peach blossom noodles, I'll have some cabbage and fried rice." Jiang Yu broke her fantasy, "Don't even think about the sweet and sour pork, wait until your injury is healed before eating it."

Xue Li pursed his lips, looking very disappointed.

Jiang Yu poked her forehead and said, "Okay, just blame Lin Anna for all the grievances you've suffered, and we'll settle the score slowly."

"Hmph!" Xue Li complained softly, but when the food was served, he still ate it with relish.

The soup of peach blossom noodles is light, but the taste is definitely not bland. Occasionally, she picks up some cabbage with chopsticks to enhance the flavor, which is also refreshing and delicious. She ate it very satisfyingly.
