Chapter 210 – New Year’s Eve with company

by Jessie@AFNCC

“Yes.” Wei Jin Yi’s answer was undoubtedly affirmative.

After contemplating for a while, Wei Ruo compromised.

Wei Ruo agreed, “Alright then, I’ll talk to them later and ask you to help along as my friend.”

“Uh-huh.”

Wei Jin also stayed in this way, changed into a short suit that was convenient to act, accompanied Wei Ruo around busy.

That night, Wei Jin also worked with Wei Ruo until three o’clock in the morning, and in a quarter of an hour it would be midnight.

It was the 30th day of the Chinese New Year, a time when families should be celebrating, but no one had the heart to celebrate in this small compound tonight.

Wei Ruo stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, her thoughts slightly complicated.

The snow has not yet melted, and illness has come again. At the end of this year, it is bitterness, sorrow and parting.

“Thinking about what?” Wei Jin also asked.

“Nothing, I just think it’s a bit of a sad year, I wonder how many people will die.”

Starving, freezing, dying of disease, behind each of these words are countless human lives.

“The way of the world is like this, heaven and earth are not kind to take all things as ruminants, the Taizhou Prefecture is still fortunate, there is a governor who is diligent for the people, there is a county princess Jingmin who takes great pains for the people, and there is also you ……”

Wei Jin also turned her head to look at Wei Ruo, a resolute soul lived in her petite body, her eyes contained both unyielding and perseverance in the face of difficulties, as well as compassion and mercy for the living.

“Second brother, after you finish that, study hard to get a merit to be a good official, that way you can also do something for the people on one side.” Wei Ruo said.

“I will.” Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo and answered with a serious expression.

After a while, Wei Jin Yi said to Wei Ruo, “It’s late, you should rest after a busy day, I’ll send it to your room first.”

“Second brother let’s cross the New Year together.” Wei Ruo said.

After all, it was New Year’s Eve, and Wei Ruo didn’t want to just go to sleep just yet, wanting to be with the people around him as the time passed the Zi Hour.

Xiu Mei, because of her busy day, had already been ordered by Wei Ruo to go and rest early at the hour of midnight, and at this moment, Wei Jin Yi was left to still be by her side.

“Good.” Wei Jin also agreed without the slightest hesitation, as if he would accompany Wei Ruo in whatever she wanted to do.

Because there was snow everywhere outside the courtyard and because it was cold outside the house, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also entered the room, moved the table to the window, and opened the window.

A warm stove was built next to it and tea was made.

Wei Ruo and Wei Jin Yi sat side by side, Wei Ruo leaning against the window and Wei Jin Yi sitting next to her.

I don’t know if it was because of the special situation, but this time, Wei Jin Yi didn’t refuse to sit side by side with Wei Ruo on the grounds that it wasn’t in line with the rules of etiquette.

The red fire illuminated Wei Ruo’s face red, a pair of bright eyes as if there was light dancing, Wei Jin also looked a little lost in thought.

Wei Ruo didn’t notice the way Wei Jin Yi looked at herself, she just quietly looked out the window, the surroundings were quiet, so quiet that it seemed like she could hear the sound of time passing.

In a trance Wei Ruo remembered himself in his previous life, when he came to the big city alone to go to school.

He would not go home even for the holidays to avoid his alcoholic and abusive father at home.

The other roommates in the dormitory had gone home, and she had stayed alone in the dormitory, and that’s how she spent the countdown to the New Year, sitting by the window, looking out at the sky.

Some years ago, there were Meimei, Nanny, Uncle Xu and Xiao Yong, all of them were lively and lively together, especially Xiao Yong and Meimei would still fight, and there was a lot of laughter, so they didn’t think of those memories of their previous life for a long time.

By this year, those memories had somehow popped up again.

Maybe it’s because there are fewer people around, or maybe it’s because this year has been tougher than usual.

But it’s still good to think about it in general, at least nowadays one has a caring relative by one’s side, unlike back then when one was alone.

After a while, Wei Jin Yi suddenly felt the weight on his shoulders increase.

Turning his head to look, Wei Ruo was asleep against his shoulder.

Seems to be tired and hard, just obsessed with spending this year awake with him for some reason.

After a while, Wei Jin also carefully picked up Wei Ruo horizontally and came to the bed, putting her down carefully.

Remove her shoes and place the covers over her body.

The candlelight above the bed pulsed, reflecting on Wei Ruo’s face, and Wei Jin was also looking lost in thought for some reason.

Only after a while did Wei Jin Yi get up and leave, carefully blowing out the candles and closing the door of the room before leaving.

The next day Wei Ruo woke up early because there was still something on his mind.

It was already dawn, it was the first day of the year, but Wei Ruo had to rush to see yesterday’s patients.

Wei Ruo had gotten up early, but Dr. Cheng was even earlier than her.

“Good morning Dr. Cheng.” Wei Ruo greeted Dr. Cheng.

“Sir Xu, take a look, Sheriff Xing’s fever has subsided!” Dr. Cheng’s voice was filled with excitement.

Wei Ruo immediately went up to check and made sure that the person’s fever was gone.

“How do you feel now?” Wei Ruo inquired of Sheriff Xing.

“My throat hurts a bit but my head doesn’t hurt anymore and the pain in my body is basically negligible.” Answering the question, Sheriff Xing’s voice was raspy but his breath was adequate, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

Sheriff Xing added, “I had been sweating the latter part of last night, and my bedding was wet, so I just changed to dry bedding, and now I feel refreshed throughout.”

“This is very good, this is very good! This is a great sign!” Dr. Cheng said excitedly.

This is the first patient he has approached with this condition to date that has shown such a dramatic improvement.

The others, even if they hadn’t lost their lives, hadn’t gotten so much better, and most of them were still sickly.

Immediately afterward, Dr. Cheng said to Wei Ruo, “Mr. Xu, your method is very useful! The conclusion of pneumonia is correct!”

Wei Ruo’s face was similarly overflowing with joy, and the fact that the method was effective was most worthy of their happiness.

Wei Ruo said, “In that case we will find a few more patients to experiment with today, and then further explore and improve the prescription and acupuncture method based on the conditions and constitution of more patients.”

“Good, just as you say!” Doctor Cheng recognized Wei Ruo’s words.

Not long after Wei Ruo got up, several other doctors also got up, everyone is the same are worried about the situation of the patients do not have the heart to sleep soundly.

Mrs. Yuan specially sent soup dumplings to all the people as breakfast, this is the custom of this side, the first meal on the first day of the Lunar New Year should be eaten soup dumplings, which means reunion and reunion.

After everyone had a hasty breakfast, they started a new day’s work.

Today, more patients had to be tested and cured, and the workload was only a little more than the day before.

This time the selection of patients on the age of some relaxation, the largest have to fifty years old. The disease also specially selected patients with large differences in symptom expression, in order to more comprehensive understanding of the disease, better improve their prescriptions.
