Chapter 14: No statutory holidays, no pay for overtime
Mother Ji knew that she was not hungry, so she only scooped a spoonful, mixed it with tofu and handed it to her. She picked out the piece of meat bone with the eyeball from the pig skull and placed it in the empty bowl next to her. "My dear daughter, like nourishes like, eating more will improve your eyesight."
Wangshu likes to eat crispy pig eyeballs, but not for this reason, "Good mother, eating more of them will make your child immortal."
Taotao, who was next to Wangshu, giggled.
Mother Ji was helpless and looked at Father Ji, "My dear, I can't deceive you anymore..."
Not only can he not be deceived, he also hides his own money. Ji's father feels aggrieved: "The disciple is better than the master." He even has more private money than him!
Qin Xiuyuan, who was eating in silence, agreed that all the people from the two families combined were not as eloquent as she was.
After dinner, Wangshu went to see her crying. Qin Xiuyuan suggested to Ji's parents that after he and Tang Bo went on a long trip, Li would come to Ji's house to help.
"Uncle and aunt, the Ji family is busy, and Li is alone at home with nothing to do. She is an excellent cook, so she can come and get familiar with Sister Wangshu's habits. Later, she can also train a smart maid to accompany her in her daily life."
What he said was that he had already made preparations for the wedding and that there would be maids to take care of Wangshu after the wedding...
Qin Xiuyuan then mentioned what happened on the road, saying that because they were traveling together, some scoundrels had used inappropriate language. Wangshu responded with sarcasm, "Sister Wangshu is in trouble for no reason. She was dragged down by Xiuyuan. Xiuyuan is ashamed..."
Father Ji waved his hand. "It's nothing. Shushu is just repaying kindness with kindness and complaining with grievances... His behavior is bad, and it has nothing to do with you. She now has someone to go out with her every day, and the roads are all open. Xiuyuan can rest assured."
Qin Xiuyuan seemed to want to say something, but hesitated and kept it to himself. He thought that nothing could be done by human beings and it was up to God to decide.
This year's summer in Yaocheng was exceptionally hot. The remaining troops began harvesting wheat, using the camp as a drying ground. Meanwhile, the vanguard troops began to march out. That same day, the rotational personnel stationed in Xuanwu began to break camp and return home in batches.
As a clerk, Ji's father has been helping to supervise and register the daily data of wheat being planted in the fields, dried in the drying yard, and stored in the granary. Honest people are prone to making mistakes when they are busy, while scoundrels find it easy to take advantage of troubled waters. In the current tense military situation, several relevant personnel and team leaders are keeping a close eye on the situation, reviewing the data again and again, and sleeping directly in the barracks. They are so nervous that they haven't had a good night's sleep for several days.
The day before Qin Xiuyuan left, he brought Uncle Tang and Li to say goodbye. Ji's mother was panicking; her husband hadn't returned in days. Taotao had just left to deliver a change of clothes and food to the barracks when she started to run a fever and complained of burning and pain all over her body. Xia rushed out to call a doctor, but encountered the three Qin family members and immediately asked for their help.
"The pot is burning with firewood, and I need to bring cold water into the house. I really can't leave..."
Qin Xiuyuan made a prompt decision. He and Li went to different clinics to seek medical advice. Uncle Tang helped fetch water and tended the firewood, while Xia Mimi went to help Aunt Ji take care of Wangshu.
He was calm and composed, with a clear division of labor. After he finished speaking, he ran towards the south of the city. There were many powerful people in the south of the city, and the medical skills of the doctors in the clinic were the best in the city.
The other three took their places according to their division of labor. Mimi brought in some sweet soup and explained the situation. Ji's mother felt relieved. "Xiuyuan has been a great help. He's going on a long journey soon. Please take out the prepared luggage. If I can't make time, please apologize on my behalf."
She agreed repeatedly and helped Wangshu, who was dazed by the fever, to his feet and leaned him against her chest. Mother Ji was heartbroken and coaxed him gently, "Nannan, open your mouth and drink some sugar water. The doctor will be here soon."
Ji Wangshu was still unaware of the situation. Her entire body was burning hot. “Hot…ah…” The hair behind her ears was wet and sticky. Her stomach was aching like someone was punching her, causing her to shrink into a shrimp. “Ah, it hurts…” If her mother hadn’t been there to soothe her, she would have suspected she had received a gift package promising childbirth.
"Don't be afraid, Nannan. Just bear with it a little longer. The doctor will be here soon..." He wiped her body with a cold towel again, brushed her hair aside, and deftly braided her hair into a thick braid. He also kept fanning her with a fan. "If it hurts, hold on to my hand. Madam, please put a handkerchief on me..."
I'm afraid someone will bite my lips.
After Shengsheng had endured the abdominal pain for a while, she collapsed into Xixi's arms as if exhausted.
The doctor from the south of the city arrived first. Qin Xiuyuan had rented a carriage, and the speed of the journey nearly shook the doctor to pieces. When he was pushed into the house, his head was buzzing, his heart pounding, and when he saw the patient, he subconsciously focused on taking his pulse.
He had been to the Ji family many times before, and initially thought it was another life-or-death situation. Along the way, he couldn't help but sigh deeply for this girl who often hung on to her death. But after taking her pulse, he could tell the general situation. Then, looking at her expression, he felt relieved. After asking about her symptoms, he realized she was indeed in distress, so he stopped prescribing the harsh medicine.
He called Ji's mother aside and whispered, "Your daughter is about to have her first period. The unbearable abdominal pain is a problem of your physical constitution. Prepare a hot water bottle or rub your abdomen more to relieve it a little. The fever is just a complication and it will be fine after you get through it. If the fever does not go away, you can use my previous prescription for refunding money, but medicine is three-quarters toxic. If the fever can be reduced on its own, then do it."
A huge weight was lifted off Ji's mother's heart. For a moment, she didn't know whether she felt more sad or happy... "Thank you, Doctor Li!"
Doctor Li only had this little mustache, which he stroked habitually. Knowing that the Ji family loved their daughter, he naturally said some nice things. "I would like to congratulate Ji Shuwen and his wife. The Ji family has a daughter who has grown up." Although it cannot be said that a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families, "My future son-in-law is a handsome man with a promising future!"
"Thank you for your kind words, Doctor Li. I am very grateful." Ji's mother wiped the sweat off her forehead, endured it for a moment, and asked the question in her heart: "Doctor Li, please forgive my abruptness. Since my daughter is about to have her first period, will other parts of her body... also... be... about to have their period?" Get bigger?
Doctor Li smiled, "Of course. Madam Ji, don't worry. Prepare more meat in your diet. In Persia, in countries like Dashi, girls drink a lot of cow and sheep milk and eat a lot of meat, so they grow very well..."
Mother Ji thanked Doctor Li profusely and sent him out. After a while, she sent away the second doctor, whose pulse diagnosis was almost identical. Unable to contain her joy, Mother Ji called Tao Tao, who had just walked in, and said, "Rest for a moment, and then I'll go out and tell the master: the heavy burden on your husband and wife can be put down, but your daughter has had abdominal pain recently. Please find time to go home and see her."
Only then did she have time to entertain Qin Xiuyuan, "Xiuyuan, your aunt is very busy today, luckily you came to help a lot. The doctor has examined Shushu, she has a fever and abdominal pain, it's all... cough..." She was really embarrassed, but when she thought about it, the person in front of her was the closest person to her daughter in the future, not to mention her daughter had suffered so much, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Speaking of which, I was really scared. My lips were so sore from the pain that I bit my handkerchief afterwards. Luckily, I managed to get some sleep now. Anyway, I'm happy that my daughter is truly grown up. Frankly, we can set the terms for your marriage after this. You've never been an outsider in this family, so there's no need for us to elaborate further. The journey is long, the swords are merciless, the battlefield is dangerous, and the situation is ever-changing. Everything will be safe..."
Ji's mother was moved and couldn't help shedding tears. Who doesn't want the soldiers at the front to be brave and fearless, and shed their blood for the country? But if the soldiers at the front are their own children, they don't ask for achievements, but only for a safe return.
Qin Xiuyuan's eyes also turned red. "Aunt, Xiuyuan is not good at speaking, but I will never forget the love of the Ji family."
"It's not just for the Ji family, child, you have too heavy a burden and are too sensible... We feel sorry for you!"
Xiuyuan nodded, "Xiuyuan understands."
Ji's mother pointed to two large bundles on the table and said to Tang Bo and Xiu Yuan, "One jar contains the pig's head that was braised yesterday. Dry it, cut it up, and put it neatly in the jar. Then pour in the refined pork to preserve it longer. There's a cloth bag with dried pork that has been dried to perfection. There's also a bottle of wound medicine that your uncle asked someone to bring back from Dian County. It's known as a miracle medicine for stopping bleeding..."
The two of them naturally thanked him.
Xia Xiaoxiao saw Ji's mother finished speaking before entering the room: "Master Qin, Shushu heard you were coming and asked you to come over."
After Qin Xiuyuan walked away, "Shushu is awake, but is your stomach still hurting?" Ji's mother asked anxiously.
"It hurts sometimes, so I put a menstrual belt on her, but she was reluctant. She said it was ugly, had a bad smell, was disgusting, and was uncomfortable..."
In short, there are ten thousand shortcomings, and I hate them to the sky.
Wangshu could empathize with Xiao Wangcai at this moment, his life a dog's wrath. The excruciating pain was unbearable, and it was actually her period coming. Wouldn't that mean she'd have period cramps from now on... killing her... Sigh... Having no sex would be fine, just accepting her fate as a woman, but there's no painkiller for period pain!!! Wangshu really wanted to break a huge stone in his chest: "You're worse than a self-castrated eunuch! Congratulations to the Time Travel Bureau for their eighteen generations of ancestors. They have no legal holidays, and they work overtime every day without overtime pay!"
