It was very cold outside, and Tang Jingyue would give Lin Min a ride no matter what.
The first few times we met, Tang Jingyue made people feel very alienated.
Today, Lin Min was a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm.
She opened the Santana door and insisted on asking Lin Min to get in, "Dr. Lin, if it's not convenient for you to let me know your address, you can give me a rough address and I'll take you to a place closer to your home before you get off the car."
"
Lin Min smiled politely and said, "It's not inconvenient. I'm just afraid of bothering you."
"No trouble, just get in the car, it's quite cold outside." .??.
Lin Min really couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat.
She had been in a passive state all day today, unable to refuse the Gao family's lunch, and now she could not refuse Tang Jingyue's enthusiasm.
She said, "Then please ask Miss Tang to send me to the military hospital."
"good."
Tang Jingyue drove the car and glanced at Lin Min, "Doctor Lin, do you need to come here every day to treat Uncle Gao?"
Lin Min nodded, "Yes, every day, but Battalion Commander Gao's body has basically recovered, and he should be fine after another two days of consolidation."
"Oh, that's it." A strange light flashed across Tang Jingyue's eyes.
"Ms. Tang, I forgot to ask, how is your grandma's health?"
"My grandma is getting better. She woke up this morning and said that when she went to the toilet, her knees were not as stiff as before."
Speaking of this, Tang Jingyue had to be completely convinced of Lin Min's superb medical skills.
Yesterday her old lady was moaning in pain, but this morning she said her knees were a little more flexible.
Comparable to the speed of taking hormones.
Thinking of this, Tang Jingyue glanced at Lin Min thoughtfully and asked worriedly, "Doctor Lin, my grandma's medicine didn't contain any painkillers, right?"
The effect is immediate, God’s grace
People doubt.
Lin Min denied, "No, this is green therapy. The small acupuncture is already effective, but we can't take it lightly. At the moment, it only relieves the pain, and it is still far from recovery."
Tang Jingyue nodded, "That's it."
"Yesterday I heard you mention that the food cooked by the nanny at home is not very tasty. I wonder if her skills can be improved? Diet is very important for the elderly." Lin Min inquired about Li Qiumei's situation as if chatting.
"I don't know, I didn't eat." The girl driving the car looked cold.
Tang Jingyue didn't want others to laugh, so she concealed the emotion on her face and just said, "I'm busy with work, so I usually eat out."
Lin Min smiled and said nothing.
You were busy at work, and you spent the whole morning chatting awkwardly with people at Gao's house.
See through but not tell.
After sending Lin Min to the military hospital, she asked Tang Jingyue to stop the car, said hello to her, and got out of the car.
When she returned home, she heard voices in the house as soon as she arrived in the yard.
Lin Min went in and saw Gu Jingchuan, Uncle Zhang next door and several other old men, installing the stove.
There was no heating in the courtyard, and every household burned a stove to keep warm in winter. The couple didn't spend much time at home these days, but it was unbearably cold at night.
Gu Jingchuan was installing a chimney, and Lin Min said happily, "Jingchuan, have you bought a stove?"
Gu Jingchuan turned around and saw the girl with a bright smile and soft eyebrows, "When I came out of the hospital, I happened to meet Uncle Zhang. He took me to the hardware market at the end of the alley to buy it."
"I'll help you set it up." Lin Min was afraid that Gu Jingchuan would be unsteady on the chair.
"No need, it's ready
." Gu Jingchuan has long legs and long arms. He can reach the chimney mouth by just raising his hand while standing on the bench.
Lin Min walked in and greeted the uncles, "Uncle Zhang, you guys are here."
Uncle Zhang was carrying a bucket of coal with a handful of hard firewood on it, "Xiao Lin is back? We are installing the stove for Xiao Gu."
"It's freezing. The stove will be heated up soon. You can make a fire in a while." Uncle Li held a match in his hand and waited for the stove to be installed to light the fire.
Lin Min was very surprised, "Uncle, where did you get the firewood?" This is the city.
Uncle Zhang replied, "I bought it. There is a store at the entrance of the hutong that specializes in buying firewood. I took Xiao Gu to buy it."
In this era, villagers in the suburbs chopped firewood and carried it on burdens to the city to sell it.
But later on, when the country began to return farmland to forests and banned deforestation, there was no one to buy firewood, and no one burned the stoves. Old houses like this were even more unoccupied, and they were all moved to buildings with heating.
"Thank you, gentlemen. I'll treat you all to dinner another day."
"No matter how polite you are, we are all neighbors."
When the stove was almost ready, Uncle Zhang's wife came in carrying a bag.
The old lady was wearing a long-breasted gown and her feet were bound. "I heard from my old man that a pair of young people moved next door. My son brought them here yesterday. I brought a few for you, and they will be burning on the stove for a while."
OK, you can bake it and eat it."
Lin Min looked at the simple old lady carrying a plastic bag with a simple smile on her face. She took it with great emotion, "Thank you, Grandma Zhang."
"Come in quickly." Lin Min asked Grandma Zhang to come in.
Such warm and loving neighbors made her feel warm in her heart.
Grandma Zhang followed in, looked at the furniture and the big color TV in their room, and said with a smile, "The decoration in this room is so trendy, Xiao Gu, you just got married.
Soon?"
"Grandma Zhang, we just got married a few months ago."
"That's great." Grandma Zhang looked at them kindly, "If you need anything at home in the future, just go and get it from us. We are all neighbors, so you're welcome."
"Okay, Grandma Zhang, thank you."
Several old people thought that the couple were from the city and didn't know how to burn a stove, so they enthusiastically helped to get the stove going. They also told them how to seal the stove and not close the doors and windows too tightly at night, and then they left.
This iron stove is more upscale than the one in their hometown, and it has a small oven, which is very convenient for baking.
Lin Min went to wash a few and put them in the oven.
Then I turned on the TV and watched TV while warming myself by the fire.
Gu Jingchuan couldn't bear to watch TV with Lin Min.
He said hello to Lin Min, then took a pen and a notebook and went back to the bedroom to write something.
Lin Min knew that Gu Jingchuan was preparing to go to Shenzhen with Jin Zhengtai to purchase goods and register a company.
She didn't bother him and just sat by the stove watching TV.
Today is the penultimate day of 1992.
The New Year's Day Party of the School of Drama will be held on the night of December 31st, which is tomorrow night, and the holiday will officially begin on January 1st.
Chen Qian sent another pager to Lin Min one day in advance to confirm whether she was really going to the party with her.
Lin Min watched the girl calling her one page after another. She turned down the TV volume, put on her coat, ran out of the yard, called Chen Qian back at the small shop at the entrance of the alley, and gave her something to eat.
Get reassurance.
Lin Min was walking home from the alley. She narrowed her eyes and had an idea in her mind.
Tang Jingshu is going to perform tomorrow night, should she... give her a big gift?
