Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

"You really aren't going?"

Zhou Caixia, unwilling to give up, quickly asked another question.

Liu Jia pointed to the south room, "The lard is all cut up, I have to help my mother render the lard."

Hearing him say that, Zhou Caixia felt a pang of disappointment and finally pulled Liu Yurou away.

Liu Yurou, however, kept smiling.

"I never expected Liu Jia to be such a filial son."

……

The night is getting dark.

The streets of Yecheng were becoming increasingly deserted, and the lights of countless homes were gradually being lit, reminding people that the day was coming to an end.

Zhao Xiaochao and his companion hid in the shadows on the street, keeping a close eye on the direction of Bai Daqun's house.

"What's going on? It's past lunchtime now. Did that old guy not eat any fermented bean paste?"

Zhao Xiaochao looked puzzled and didn't dare to blink while speaking.

"That's not right. The scallions were already wilted when he took them. If we don't eat them tonight, they'll definitely spoil if left overnight."

"I personally put the croton oil in there, no more, no less, so why hasn't anything happened yet?"

"Let's wait a little longer. Maybe the medicine hasn't taken effect yet, or maybe that old guy is already lying on the kang (heated brick bed)."

The two of them chatted back and forth, each with only one thought in their minds: they hoped that Bai Daqun would get diarrhea and be hospitalized soon.

Nearly half an hour later, Zhao Xiaochao felt his legs were going numb.

Slowly standing up, Zhao Xiaochao began to rub his calves again.

Just then, his companion whispered, "Look, look! There's movement over there!"

Zhao Xiaochao looked up and saw several people coming out of Bai Daqun's house, shouting something.

Rubbing his eyes hard, Zhao Xiaochao clearly saw that two women were supporting a person as they walked out.

"Quick, hide! Don't let them find us!"

As Zhao Xiaochao spoke, he pulled his companion's arm, and the two of them moved further inside.

Soon, a woman's anxious voice came over.

"How did it turn out like this? It only took one meal to make it like this!"

"You must have bought something unclean. I've told you before that you can't be careless when it comes to food. If anything happens to my dad, I won't let you off the hook!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than another person said, with a sob in their voice, "Miss, we're just eating regular food, it's really clean."

"Alright, stop talking and get to the hospital right away. Any more delay and you'll collapse from exhaustion!"

Zhao Xiaochao didn't listen carefully to what the two said next, but those few words were enough to put his mind at ease.

The two women were so focused on walking forward that they didn't look around and naturally didn't notice Zhao Xiaochao and his companion.

Once the person had gone far away, Zhao Xiaochao breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This mission is finally complete, it's exhausted!"

"Chaozi, wouldn't you say we handled this well?"

“Great! Brother Liu has been good to us, so we have to do our best!” Zhao Xiaochao said, looking seriously at his companion. “Let’s go to the hospital.”

"Why are you going to the hospital? Bai Daqun values ​​his life so much. He's already in such a bad state, he'll definitely be observed in the hospital for a few days."

"Let's go to the insurance company together, shall we?"

After Zhao Xiaochao said this, his companions didn't say anything more and quickly followed Zhao Xiaochao towards the hospital.

the other side.

Bai Daqun had an upset stomach and couldn't stop having diarrhea. By the time he got to the hospital, he was half-dead, his body was curled up like a shrimp and he couldn't straighten up.

When the doctor asked how long Bai Daqun had been having diarrhea, he couldn't answer.

Bai Daqun was completely bewildered after being asked how many times he had been pulled.

To be honest, even now, Bai Daqun can't remember how many times he went to the toilet.

My stomach hurts, and my anus hurts!

With no other options, the doctor had to consult the caregiver.

The nanny explained the general situation, and the doctor only said that the patient had eaten something bad and needed to be hospitalized for observation.

After all that trouble, Bai Daqun felt like he was about to lose half his life.

After the doctor left, apart from Bai Daqun, only the nanny and Bai Limei remained in the private ward.

“I was only away from home for one night and this happened. How can we ever feel at ease after this?”

"How do you usually take care of my dad? I'm paying you such a high salary, and you just treat him like this?"

"If my dad is fine, then it's fine. But if there's anything wrong with his health, you'll be responsible!"

Bai Limei's voice was stern, and her eyes could practically spit out knives!

The nanny was so frightened that she trembled all over and could not even speak coherently.

"I...Miss, the vegetables I bought are really clean. It was the gentleman who bought some fermented bean paste and some wilted scallions this afternoon."

"I think it's the scallions' fault. When I washed the scallions, they weren't fresh anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, the nanny started sobbing.

Upon hearing this, Bai Limei's eyes widened immediately.

"You still eat unclean things? Onions are so cheap now, how many onions could you buy with this hospital stay?"

"I told him, but he wouldn't listen. He said it would be a waste not to eat perfectly good scallions!"

Bai Limei was so angry she couldn't speak, so she could only stomp her feet.

Hospital bed.

Bai Daqun was weak and listless, and it took him a long time to open his eyes.

"Lili, go back, I'm fine."

"Dad, look at the state you've become! And you say you're fine? I'm telling you, you're not allowed to eat those scallions anymore, and that fermented bean paste you bought, I'm throwing it away for you when we get home!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Daqun shuddered with heartache. "Don't throw it away! We paid for it!"

Bai Limei grew angrier the more she thought about it.

If it weren't for those scallions and fermented bean paste, Dad wouldn't be like this. But in the end, it's all Dad's fault for being greedy!

In the past, when life was tough, people valued possessions above all else, which is understandable.

But is it really necessary for our family to be this frugal right now?

They can afford to hire a nanny and have meat at every meal, but Dad still can't change his stingy ways!

I really don't know what to say about him!

Bai Limei remained silent, and the nanny naturally dared not say anything more.

Nearly half an hour later, seeing that Bai Daqun's condition had stabilized, Bai Limei stood up and looked at the nanny.

"I have some things to take care of and need to go back first. You stay here and keep an eye on things tonight, and I'll come over first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, don't worry, Miss."

Bai Limei glanced at Bai Daqun, who was fast asleep, before quietly leaving.

When she got home, the first thing Bai Limei did was throw out the fermented soybean paste and scallions.

Only in this way can I feel relieved.

Thinking about what happened tonight, Bai Limei became more and more depressed.

If Dad didn't eat anything bad, look for it yourself now, and ask Cao Xiangyang...

Images flashed through her mind, and Bai Limei's expression became unnatural.

No one is home tonight, and no one knows I'm not staying at home.

Thinking this, Bai Limei finally smiled.

After hurriedly changing into a dress, Bai Limei picked up her eyebrow pencil and began to carefully draw her eyebrows.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"This is Cao Xiangyang. Is Teacher Bai home?"

Outside the door, Cao Xiangyang's voice was very polite, and his tone revealed humility.

Bai Limei quickly opened the door.

Before Cao Xiangyang could even see the person in front of him clearly, an arm suddenly pulled him sharply inward.

"oops!"

"What's wrong with you? You're already inside the house, why are you still acting all coy like a young lady!"

As Bai Limei spoke, she rubbed against Cao Xiangyang, her eyes practically gleaming with desire.

Cao Xiangyang gasped and quickly took several steps back.

"Lili, what are you doing? If your dad sees this, we're doomed."

Seeing Cao Xiangyang's terrified expression, Bai Limei burst out laughing.

"Look how scared you are. This isn't the time to be a hero in bed."

"Lili, don't talk nonsense. You can't just say things like that."

At this moment, Cao Xiangyang's heart was in his throat, and sweat was beading on his forehead.

Bai Limei, you really dare to say that!

How dare you do this right under your father's nose?

Cao Xiangyang became increasingly frightened, and the can of food he was carrying almost fell to the ground.

Seeing the situation before her, Bai Limei didn't want to tease Cao Xiangyang any longer and said directly, "Don't be scared, my dad isn't home. You can do whatever you want tonight!"

"Not home? Where did you go?"

"Don't even mention it! I ate something bad last night and ended up in the hospital with a stomachache!"

Bai Limei pouted.

Although today's events were frustrating, seeing Cao Xiangyang has naturally lifted my spirits considerably.

The thought that Cao Xiangyang could spend the night here made Bai Limei feel completely relaxed.

This Cao Xiangyang, on the surface he seems refined and cultured, but when he goes crazy, he can really be...

Bai Limei was lost in her own fantasy, but Cao Xiangyang across from her was completely dumbfounded.

Bai Daqun is hospitalized!

Does that mean tomorrow's trade fair is ruined?

I came here specifically tonight to discuss the details of the trade fair with Bai Daqun, but how could such a change suddenly occur?

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get inside! You're acting like an idiot!"

Bai Limei reached out and poked Cao Xiangyang on the forehead.

Cao Xiangyang finally came to his senses.

"Oh, should we go to the hospital to see the teacher? Is the teacher seriously ill? What are the plans for tomorrow...?"

Before Cao Xiangyang could finish speaking, Bai Limei interrupted him.

"Everything else has to be postponed. My dad's health is the most important thing. You have no idea how sick he is. He's completely exhausted!"

As soon as these words came out.

Cao Xiangyang felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen.

Bai Limei made the situation sound so serious that Bai Daqun definitely wouldn't be able to participate in the exhibition. And what about the bamboo basket...?

Cao Xiangyang tried hard to control his emotions, but he still cursed in his heart.

Damn it!

Bai Daqun got sick at the worst possible time!
