Chapter 242: Chapter 239: Doctor Jiang Really Did Go Scrounging

Jiang Mingyue focused and called out to Yan Jinzhi.

Three minutes later, Yan Jinzhi appeared at the Fish Viewing Pavilion.

“What’s up?”

Jiang Mingyue felt a bit embarrassed. Calling someone twice in a row, she felt like she was summoning a dragon; luckily, Xiao Yanzi was good-tempered.

“Yan Jinzhi, did I interrupt your work?”

“No! It’s good, if you didn’t call me, I would just keep working, only realizing my shoulder and neck were sore when I remember I hadn’t even had a drink of water for hours.”

Jiang Mingyue was relieved and, at the same time, felt sorry for him!

“Let me give you a shoulder rub then.”

Yan Jinzhi was a bit taken aback but didn’t refuse.

So, Yan Jinzhi experienced a long-lost alternation of comfort and agony.

Comfort was genuine comfort. Even though she had forgotten that part of her past life, she still had the knack for shoulder massages.

As for agony… how could one not be moved with a pair of soft hands running over your… no, your shoulders?

Some things just can’t be rushed.

“Yan Jinzhi, take a look at this.” Jiang Mingyue sat back down and pushed a photo over.

Yan Jinzhi picked up the photo and, with just one glance, understood what she meant.

“Wait a moment.”

Yan Jinzhi said and left.

Jiang Mingyue didn’t think he would get back to her immediately. She was just thinking about visiting Grandma Xu, when Yan Jinzhi returned.

With just one look, Yan Jinzhi could tell how surprised the young woman was.

“It’s quite a coincidence.

The person settled in Nanxi City just when you asked for the photo. They’re temporarily staying in the Pear Blossom Lane area. This elderly gentleman came with his grandson and a collateral nephew, Tang Gang, who’s a retired soldier assigned to look after the elderly gentleman. The three of them live in a courtyard under the name of someone called Shu Kuo, who, it turns out, is an old friend of the elderly gentleman.”

Yan Jinzhi recounted the elderly gentleman’s life achievements, suggesting that this Elder Tang Ji was quite an extraordinary person, doing many good deeds for the country and the people, with a righteous family, each generation full of talents. The injured grandson, Tang Yue, was wounded in a cross-border mission hurt by fire, chemicals, and knives.

He was in a coma for three months after being sent to the hospital, waking up with scars on his body. But, being a man… it’s no big deal.

“If that’s the case, then there’s no problem. I’m willing to give the medicine.”

She needed to see the photo because she wanted Yan Jinzhi to help check. If the other side was up to no good, she wouldn’t take action for all the gold in the world.

Jiang Mingyue quickly found something similar to what Pan Zhoucong had, an S-Class scar remover, peeled off the label, then used a pencil to write “scar remover” on the bottle, then added usage instructions.

Finally, she drew a little sparrow.

Yan Jinzhi: “…”

Soon, that bottle of medicine was in Pan Zhoucong’s hands, who didn’t delay and personally delivered it to Elder Tang.

Actually, when Jiang Mingyue asked for the photo, she had an idea to call upon her spiritual power for investigation.

But the result was: if the photo could talk, it would definitely call her stupid, using spiritual power… does a photo have consciousness?

Jiang Mingyue didn’t ask Yan Jinzhi why he checked so quickly; only fools would ask that.

It’s obvious, the elderly gentleman… at least some notification from the top of Wuyun Mountain instructed them to look after this elderly gentleman’s family, so naturally, understanding the opposite party is essential. One could say she got lucky.

Taking Yan Jinzhi back to Qingshan Village for dinner, they were planning to go to Yun Dian General Slope courtyard afterward.

…

After work, the hospital’s residential buildings were especially lively.

Each household was cooking in the hallway.

Footsteps, the sound of water flowing, chopping, sizzling noises of food going into the pan… composed a symphony of earthly life.

Zhu Xiangxiang and her husband got off work relatively early today, only half an hour late, mainly because over at Jiang Shuangyi’s side, there was a particularly difficult patient’s family member.

If you have money and want to give a bribe, that’s your business, but you can’t assume the doctor won’t do their best in surgery tomorrow just because they won’t accept it.

In short, this delayed her getting off work. Anyway, they still didn’t have kids, so they waited and went back to the residential tube building together.

Back home, Zhu Xiangxiang changed her shoes, washed her hands, and just started to rinse the rice when her father-in-law arrived.

A rare visitor indeed!

It was actually the first time her father-in-law came to their tube-shaped apartment building. After greeting him politely, Zhu Xiangxiang bent over and continued her chores.

Actually, she didn’t have much to do, mainly because Jiang Shuangyi brought back two baskets of food from Yueyue last night. She thought Doctor Jiang was just going to get some freebies.

So much stuff, it must be radishes and cabbage. Whatever it is, if it fills two baskets, it shows the generosity of the giver.

In the city, they didn’t always manage to buy a few pounds standing in line; it was tough, everything was in short supply.

Zhu Xiangxiang was untying the string wrapped around the basket while figuring out how to cook the radishes and cabbage. Leave two radishes, give one to her father-in-law to take back, and they could cook one with bones for soup. The rest could be pickled, as she loved the sweet and flavorful pickled radish strips, and they go great with rice.

As for the cabbage, keep two, and pickle the rest into spicy kimchi to bring to the hospital for meals.

But before she could untie it, a slender hand took the basket away.

Zhu Xiangxiang stared wide-eyed: “…Doctor Jiang?” She thought Jiang Shuangyi had changed his mind. Even though he said last night it was from Yueyue for her to try, even though she had tasted radishes and cabbages a thousand times, tasting? That was impossible, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

Jiang Shuangyi was also speechless; how did this level of intelligence catch his eye? He gave his wife a deep look and bowed his head to untie the string; it was nothing, this was something he taught that girl before, others couldn’t untie it.

However… he only brought the basket over to untie it, and his wife followed as if guarding against a thief.

His dad came over, looking exactly like he was guarding against a thief, too, not even realizing he wasn’t one to hog food to himself.

But his dad suddenly showed up so unexpectedly.

“Dad, why did you… come over?” He was going to say, did you hear some news and come to snatch my food? Good thing he reacted quickly.

If Jiang Kangsheng knew what his son was thinking, he’d definitely smack him.

This intelligence is truly concerning.

He only found out about the food factory’s farce this afternoon, and after tracing it back, he nearly had a heart attack.

He was ready to get revenge for his daughter, unexpectedly, before he could take action, the mother and daughter duo got their comeuppance already.

There was nothing left for him to do, so he naturally came over following the scent, that kid really nailed it!

Lucky he came, or they’d probably forget about him, even for bones.

Looking at the still unopened basket, Jiang Kangsheng was quite satisfied.

When the basket’s cloth was finally lifted.

Zhu Xiangxiang was stunned: Where were the radishes and cabbage she expected? What was this?

“Smells so good!”

Jiang Shuangyi wasn’t surprised at all, with such delicious pine needle roast chicken, even cold, it’s the best.

“Xiangxiang, just heat it on the stove a bit, and it’ll be ready to eat.”

Zhu Xiangxiang didn’t move; the excitement of unwrapping a mystery box was something only she could feel. Jiang Shuangyi didn’t rush her, he went through the items one by one.

What a revelation!

Spicy rabbit chunks, one portion, a braised chicken, a braised rabbit, four air-dried chicken and rabbits, equaling eight fat chickens and rabbits.

Zhu Xiangxiang glared at her Jiang Doctor: you really went to mooch off food!
