Chapter 377: A New Guest at the Sanatorium
ㅤ
"Brother Zhang, when you collect medicinal herbs in the future, you can help me collect some medicinal materials with beauty effects, such as gentian grass, baizhi and poria cocos, and I'll see if we can grow them." Shen Chi said to Zhang Cheng.
"What kind of new product do you want to develop?" Zhang Cheng knew Shen Chi very well, and he must have had some ideas when he said this.
"It's just a preliminary idea, which can be regarded as a way for the big guy to make a fortune." Shen Chi said with a smile as he took the sweet potatoes he had picked into his laboratory.
The sweet potatoes in Liangshan are juicy and sweet, pink on the inside when cut, and white pulp.
But the sweet potatoes in Liangshan are roasted and eaten well, without cooking, they will be boiled as soon as they are cooked, this point Shen Chi's own white potatoes are very good, no matter how they are cooked, they are solid, due to the high starch content, it is easy to choke if you are not careful, and it makes people roll their eyes.
It would be nice to combine the best of both worlds.
Shen Chi thought secretly in his heart, and his hands were not idle, and he planted the potatoes sent by Zhang Cheng into the seedling box, planning to observe them first.
After a few more days, Liu Linwei also sent his mother to the villa.
The old lady was wearing a set of earthy gray spring clothes, her figure was thin, and she looked very good, but she gave people a look of no energy and very sluggish.
They also came with Liu Linwei's daughter-in-law Yao Ling, probably because of beauty, Yao Ling knows how to dress herself very well, the makeup on her face is appropriate, and it does not give people a feeling of heavy makeup, which makes her look beautiful and foreign.
At this time, Shen Chi was taking them to various courtyards to see the living environment here, and Mrs. Liu was looking around with a critical eye, wanting to find a few mistakes, but each courtyard of Shen Chi was arranged quietly and elegantly, and the planting location of each grass and tree was just right, so she really couldn't find anything wrong.
"Mom, what do you think of the environment here?" Yao Ling asked Mrs. Liu softly.
Tell her that it's good here, and she can't wait to live in it. But she couldn't hold back the old lady's own mind, and she couldn't say anything.
Mrs. Liu didn't speak, but continued to wander carelessly, and when she passed by Zheng Yuanyuan's yard, she happened to see her and Han Xiuyi reviewing their homework under the plum tree.
When he looked up, he saw Shen Chi with someone coming and showed a sweet smile and said, "Brother Shen Chi, is anyone going to live with us again?"
"Yes, this grandma wants to live with us and be with Yuanyuan, okay?" Shen Chi said to Zheng Yuanyuan with a smile.
Zheng Yuanyuan nodded and smiled, "Okay." Then he called out sweetly to Mrs. Liu, "Grandma, you can also live in, Brother Shen Chi is fine here."
"Yo, the little girl's mouth is so sweet, is this your granddaughter, old sister?" Mrs. Liu, who had been keeping her face tight, finally showed a smile at this time and asked Han Xiuyi on the side.
"Where, here for treatment, the little girl has a blood disease at a young age, and I am also a tenant here to recuperate." Han Xiuyi said gently.
Mrs. Liu nodded knowingly, touched Zheng Yuanyuan's head and said, "It's pitiful that the little girl has such a big illness at such a young age."
"I'm not pitiful, Brother Shen Chi has cured my illness. Zheng Yuanyuan replied in a coquettish voice. Everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly when they heard this.
At this time, Han Xiuyi's mother-in-law, Chen Jianmin's mother-in-law Zhang Hongying came out of the house with a pot of tea, it was an old lady with short hair and a slightly chubby figure, although she was sixty or seventy years old, her face was white and clear without a trace of wrinkles, which was different from Han Xiuyi's elegance, and her whole body was full of coolness.
"Yo, is this a guest? Sit down and drink tea. As he spoke, he put the tea on the small table beside him, and then set up a stool for everyone to sit on.
The relationship between people really depends on fate, and she has been careless, as if Mrs. Liu, who is not interested in anything, after seeing Zhang Hongying, she was immediately infected by her hearty and pungent, and the two sat down and chatted as if no one was around.
"Old sister, are you also recuperating here?"
"Yes, I always couldn't sleep well, I couldn't eat anything, and I lived here for two months
I'm all cured."
"I also have a problem with not sleeping well, and I don't feel good about what I eat." Mrs. Liu saw Zhang Hongying's statement and said busily.
Dr. Zhang Hongying waved his big hand and said: "Hey, it's not a big problem, I didn't notice it at home before, but now that I live here, it's not a disease, it's just staying at home, my heart is empty, this child is not around, I hurry to leave during the New Year's holidays, and I don't know what we are raising our children for."
"Yes, old sister, you really said this to my heart, if you want to say that my son and daughter-in-law are not filial, then you really wronged them, everything is done for me, but I always feel panicked in my heart, every day in front of the cold house, there is no one to talk to.
They are busy with business, they go out early and return late, and they don't talk to them more than three times a day, which is not as good as when the children are by their side when they are young, and they will be beaten if they are disobedient. "Mrs. Liu chatted with Zhang Hongying as if she had met a bosom friend.
Liu Linwei listened to his mother's story, and then realized that he was usually too negligent to his mother, and he didn't expect his mother to be lonely and depressed at home alone.
The two of them came back to their senses after they were happy, Shen Chi and they were still there, Zhang Hongying looked slightly embarrassed and said to Shen Chi: "Xiao Chi, you came just in time, I have been flustered again in the past two days, you can help me take a look."
Saying that, she stretched out her hand to ask Shen Chi to help her take her pulse, Shen Chi reached out and checked Zhang Hongying's pulse, and after a while, he said, "Have you taken any tonic supplements these days?"
"Xiao Zhe's father sent me some medicine from abroad to nourish the liver and protect the liver, could it be that the medicine was bad?" Zhang Hongying asked with a surprised expression.
"The nutritious meal I made for you has a conditioning effect, so you don't need to take any tonic supplements alone, so save that money.
What's more, the medicine is poisonous, and eating too much is not good for the body. Shen Chi didn't say much, just smiled and told Zhang Hongying not to eat supplements indiscriminately.
"But it's a waste of money to spend and not eat." Zhang Hongying thought that this medicine was bought by her son from abroad, and the postage alone would cost a lot of money, and it would be a pity not to eat it and throw it away.
Shen Chi will also prescribe the right medicine: "You spend more money when you are sick, do you think about it?"
Zhang Hongying nodded hurriedly when she heard this: "Yes, I have to go to the hospital again when I am sick, and the hospital is not easy to enter these days. When I went back, I called Xiao Zhe's father and told him to stop buying any more tonic medicine for me."
Mrs. Liu looked at Shen Chi and said, "Do you still see a doctor?" "A little bit of Chinese medicine." Shen Chi said with a smile.
Liu Linwei, who was on the side, heard this, and felt that it was safer for his mother to recuperate here, so he hurriedly said to his mother, "Mom, what do you think of the conditions here?"
"Look no further, this is it." Mrs. Liu agreed.
Seeing that his mother was willing to live here, Liu Linwei was also really relieved, and said to Shen Chi on the side: "Brother Shen, you see where there are rooms with better conditions, open one for my mother."
"I don't live in this courtyard, anywhere else." Mrs. Liu also wanted to be closer to Zhang Hongying, and it was convenient for the two to talk and chat.
"But this courtyard only has a room for groceries, so it's not suitable for living." Shen Chi said with a look of embarrassment.
"Just find someone to clean it up, what hardships haven't people of my age suffered? In the past, I also lived in a rural earthen house with a leaky roof and ventilation on all sides. "Mrs. Liu insisted on living in a courtyard with Zhang Xiying.
Liu Linwei also finally coaxed his mother to come to Shen Chi, and when he heard this, he didn't dare to disobey his mother's intentions too much, so he had to say to Shen Chi: "It's okay, just the utility room, please trouble the little brother to find someone to clean it up as soon as possible."
Shen Chi had no choice but to call Yuanyuan's mother Tian Huifang, as well as Chen Xiuhe and Wang Manying, who were working in the kitchen, to help move the things out of the utility room, and the three of them cleaned up the room in less than an hour.
After taking the bed, the bed is made, and a room is arranged. Mrs. Liu didn't pick either, and nodded with satisfaction after a glance.
Shen Chi signed a half-year check-in contract with Liu Linwei as agreed in advance, and in this way, Mrs. Liu officially moved into Shen Chi's sanatorium.
After checking in, Liu Linwei to
Shen Chi asked for a while and took his daughter-in-law Yao Ling back. Shen Chi instructed and went to see Xu Heqing's situation.
After Shen Chi's recuperation, Xu Heqing's vitality recovered a little, and his mental state was much better than when he came.
When he came, his body trembled and he had to be helped, but now he can walk on his own without anyone. After recovering physically, he clamored all day long for Chen Shizheng to pick him up and go back to his unfinished research, Tang Kai was so noisy that he could only coax and deceive, trying all kinds of ways to appease him.
When Shen Chi came, Tang Kai had just calmed Xu Heqing, the old man was young, and the old man had the same temper as a child when he was old.
Seeing Shen Chi Tang Kai said to him with a bitter face, "You quickly think of a way to let Xu Lao not make a noise and go back, I really can't be appeased, otherwise you can take me to the valley to play with tourists, I can't stay here."
"What's the matter, Xu Lao is clamoring to go back again?" Shen Chi asked with a smile.
"Who's to say it's not? I want to be bald every day for the reason to be appeased, or you can call Captain Chen and lend me to your playground, and I'll go play and hide for a few days. Instructor Tang said with a distressed expression.
"If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime, what about Chief He?" Shen Chi glanced at the empty courtyard and asked Tang Kai.
"They couldn't get around, they all hid away, and left me here to deal with a lot." Tang Kai looked like he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
As soon as his words fell, He Qifeng immediately coughed behind him, and Tang Kai looked back and saw that it was him who quickly shut up.
He Qifeng glared at Tang Kai and asked Shen Chi with an unnatural expression, "Xiao Chi, how is Old Xu's body conditioning?"
