Chapter 52 Lu Cheng is discharged from hospital, Xiao family dinner

“Master Bai, how can you praise your disciple so much…” Lin Yuexi laughed. “Girl, I’m not praising you. Your medical talent is unmatched. It’s a pity that you have to go back to take care of your husband. Otherwise, it would be great if you stayed in the capital now!…” Master Bai felt very regretful. “Master, I will be back in two years. Two years will pass quickly…” Lin Yuexi said with a smile.

The master and disciple chatted and laughed as they walked for a while, and Lin Yuexi returned to Lu Cheng’s ward at the hospital. It was already dinner time, and to her surprise, Xiao Yichen came to the ward with Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun. As soon as the two children saw Lin Yuexi come in, they rushed over and asked, “Mom, where have you been?” Lin Yuexi squatted down, holding one in each arm and said, “We’re going back to our hometown in a couple of days. Mom went for a walk around the capital…

” When Lu Cheng heard Lin Yuexi say this, he felt a little guilty. If his legs hadn’t been injured, he could have taken her to see the famous sights and historical sites of the capital. But now he didn’t even have the strength to get out of bed, and he was constantly a burden to her. Xiao Yichen observed Lu Cheng’s expression and quickly said, “Ziyan, Xiyun, your mom is back, can we have dinner now? This is a nutritious dinner that my grandma asked Zhang Ma to specially prepare…” With that, he took out two dishes, one soup, several steamed buns, and a box of white rice from the basket he was carrying.

 Seeing this, Lin Yuexi pulled a simple table to the bedside, and Xiao Yichen placed the food on it. Xiao Yichen and the two children had already eaten at the Xiao family, so Lin Yuexi took out a set of checkers for them to play while she and Lu Cheng had dinner. Now that Lu Cheng could eat without any problem except for his inability to walk, he was always worried that his legs wouldn’t be able to stand up.

 He thought that if he really couldn’t stand up, he would divorce Lin Yuexi and set her free. Lin Yuexi didn’t know what Lu Cheng was thinking. To be honest, Zhang Ma’s cooking was really good, and the Xiao family treated Lu Cheng and her well. She was going back to her hometown, so she had to go to the Xiao family to thank them.

 However, Lu Cheng’s legs were inconvenient, so she had to find a wheelchair to push him. But wheelchairs in this era were mostly made of metal, heavy, and usually only had two small wheels, requiring the user to push with their arms. Long-term use would put a lot of pressure on the arms and shoulders, and it wasn’t easy to fold. It was far less convenient and portable than the electric wheelchairs of later generations. Lin Yuexi wanted to find an excuse to take an electric wheelchair from her space for Lu Cheng to sit in. Just as she was thinking about this, two more days passed, and soon it was time for Lu Cheng to be discharged from the hospital.

Lin Yuexi didn’t care anymore. That morning, she left the hospital, went for a walk around the capital, found a secluded place, entered her space, took out a folding electric wheelchair, and found a cover to hide the control panel on the seat.

Then she took two jars of wine made with spiritual spring water and ginseng from her space, preparing to give them to Old Master Xiao and the Chief. Because she had agreed that today, after Lu Cheng was discharged from the hospital, they would have dinner at the Xiao family, and Lu Cheng’s old chief would also come.

She knew that both of these old gentlemen liked this kind of wine. Lin Yuexi placed the two jars of wine on the wheelchair, pushed it towards the hospital, and Xiao Yichen had already arrived. He helped to pack some of Lu Cheng’s clothes and luggage. Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun also helped out, calling out “Uncle, Dad” nonstop, adding a lot of vitality to the ward.

When Lin Yuexi pushed the electric wheelchair in, Xiao Yichen and Lu Cheng were both a little surprised. Lin Yuexi didn’t care about that, she had Xiao Yichen help her lift Lu Cheng up and sit in the wheelchair. She didn’t tell him how to use it because Xiao Yichen’s car was waiting downstairs, and they would be taking the car there. As they were leaving, the dean and Dr. Wang came. They shook hands with Lu Cheng one by one to say goodbye!

Dean Xiao was very reluctant to let Lin Yuexi, such a talented person, go, and said: “Comrade Yuexi, if you ever want to work at the hospital, just come directly to me…” “Dean Xiao, thank you! I haven’t decided yet. If I’m coming to the capital, I’ll come to you…” Lin Yuexi replied. Dean Xiao nodded, and Dr. Wang simply told Lin Yuexi about Lu Cheng’s follow-up rehabilitation treatment. Because he knew that Lin Yuexi understood medicine and her medical skills were no less than his, his instructions were brief.

 After a while, Xiao Yichen pushed Lu Cheng towards his jeep. When they arrived, Xiao Yichen opened the car door, half-lifted and half-carried Lu Cheng into the car, and Lin Yuexi folded the wheelchair and put it in the trunk. Xiao Yichen started the car and took Lin Yuexi and her family to the Xiao family. When they arrived at the Xiao family, Lin Yuexi naturally took the wheelchair out of the car again, and Xiao Yichen put Lu Cheng in it. Lin Yuexi pushed the wheelchair, and Xiao Yichen led the two children, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the Xiao family. The Xiao family’s courtyard faced south, with a quaint screen wall at the entrance. The screen wall was decorated with exquisite auspicious patterns. After passing the screen wall, you would enter the spacious front courtyard.

 There were several wing rooms on the east and west sides, used as guest rooms and storage. In front of the wing rooms were several locust trees with lush branches and leaves, casting a cool shade in the summer. The middle courtyard was the main activity area of the Xiao family. The main house was large and spacious, with carved beams and painted pillars, where Old Master Xiao and the elders lived.

The hall was decorated in an elegant and grand style, with famous calligraphy and paintings hanging in the middle hall, and antique furniture arranged. The ear rooms on both sides were used as a study and a tea room, with the fragrance of tea and ink intertwined, exuding a cultural atmosphere. The wing rooms on the east and west sides of the middle courtyard were one dining room. A sumptuous feast had already been laid out, and the tables and chairs were polished to a shine.

The other was a children’s activity room, with many toys and books. As soon as Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun entered, they went there on their own. They must have gotten used to living at the Xiao family during this time. The back courtyard was relatively quiet, with a small garden planted with various flowers and plants. There was also a pavilion in the middle, where people could rest and enjoy the scenery.

 Next to the garden were the kitchen and the servants’ quarters. Zhang Ma and Xiao Yichen’s mother were busy in the kitchen, preparing various snacks and tea. The aroma wafted out of the kitchen and filled the entire courtyard. Xiao Yichen’s father, Xiao Jinkang, Old Master Xiao, the old chief, and several others were chatting in the study. Xiao Yichen motioned for Lin Yuexi to push the wheelchair into the tea room. Old Master Xiao and the chief came out of the study with several others to ask about them. Lin Yuexi saw that the two jars of wine she had prepared were not enough for so many people, so she used her mind to take out three more jars from her space, making one jar for each person.

When everyone saw the wine Lin Yuexi brought, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes, but they all tacitly didn’t ask any questions. Old Master Xiao opened the lid of the jar, and the aroma of the wine immediately filled the room. He smiled and joked: “Yuexi, where did you buy this good wine?”

 Lin Yuexi smiled and replied: “This is made with special spiritual spring water and ginseng. Old people who drink it will have sharp ears and eyes, middle-aged people who drink it will be strong and healthy, and young people who drink it will be strong and healthy…”
