Three or Two Things about Rebirth

The tall man was Zheng Wei. He stepped over the threshold and looked at Qiu Luming hesitantly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Before Qiu Luming could ask Zheng Wei what was wrong, he staggered and was pushed into the clinic.

Qiu Jiashu walked in wearing a police uniform and glanced at Zheng Wei unhappily, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come?"

Zheng Wei, who usually has a hot temper, was very scared at this moment. He stammered and pointed at his left eye and said, "Second brother, I... came to see my eyes."

"Who is your second brother!" Qiu Jiashu glared and frowned at Qiu Luming, "Where is that Li Yongliang? It's better to go to him than this one!"

"Are you still going to work today?" Qiu Luming asked instead of answering.

"On duty!"

Nurse Aunt Li walked out from behind the counter with a smile, "Hey, big guy, you're here again. Two drawers in my medicine cabinet are not working properly. Can you fix them?"

"Okay!" Zheng Wei agreed quickly.

"Aunt Li!" Qiu Jiashu shouted, "Who are you from?"

"I'm not in any group! I'm here to treat patients!" Aunt Li smiled and leaned over to look into Zheng Wei's eyes. "Tsk tsk, who did you fight with? How many casualties did the enemy suffer?"

"The enemy's nose is bleeding." Zheng Wei is actually very familiar with Aunt Li.

"Well, you didn't get any advantage!" Aunt Li took another closer look. "Tsk tsk, you are so thick-skinned that you don't even have any wounds. Come on, Aunt Li will give you a hot compress and a couple of massages. You don't need to bother Doctor Qiu with this minor problem."

Zheng Wei sighed honestly, carefully walked around Qiu Jiashu, and followed Aunt Li to the treatment room next door.

In the clinic, Qiu Jiye said, "...eat some lean meat and eggs appropriately. It's not accurate to say that money can't buy you a lean body in old age. People still need some fat. Also, don't sleep with the TV on, don't get angry over trivial matters, and don't worry about things that haven't happened yet. Listen to a crosstalk in the morning and afternoon to have fun. You have severe qi deficiency. For the next three days, you are only allowed to say ten sentences a day. You must strictly follow the instructions!"

"what?"

"No, we're starting now, don't talk. I've written down all the precautions."

"I..."

"Little one, don't argue. Don't talk too much when you're weak! Even I try to talk as little as possible! Go, go get the medicine, and come back in three days."

The frail old lady came out of the clinic with a smile on her face. Seeing that there was no one in the pharmacy, she turned back to look for Qiu Jiye. Qiu Luming quickly stopped her, "Auntie, I'll get you some medicine!"

She skillfully picked the medicine according to the prescription, "Codonopsis... Ophiopogon japonicus... Schisandra chinensis! Good!" She quickly packed three small paper bags and put them into a plastic bag. Qiu Jiashu was counting the money with an abacus beside her, and then told the old lady, "Take it, ma'am. Just take the medicine according to the prescription. Remember to use a clay pot instead of an iron pot. Bring it to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat. Don't burn the bottom!"

The old lady smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she remembered Qiu Jiye's medical advice and quickly covered her mouth.

Qiu Luming also smiled. She could feel the patient's absolute trust in her father.

Qiu Jiashu ran over to open the door of the clinic for the old lady. As usual, he didn't say goodbye. He turned around and pulled Qiu Luming into his father's clinic, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"What's going on?" Qiu Luming was puzzled and pointed to the treatment room. "Zheng Wei? He came here by himself!"

"Qin Huifang!"

Qiu Luming was stunned for two seconds and asked in surprise, "How did you know so quickly? Who called the police?"

"No one called the police. Isn't Xie Zhi's wife from the Grain Hotel? She told Xie Zhi about it. Xie Zhi came to our department to do some work and told me about it."

"What a gossip!"

"Don't get involved. Qin Huifang's reputation has been ruined. The Lu family will definitely not let this go. Even if her father is the mayor or governor, it's useless. Now that the news has spread, her style has become so corrupt that you must cut off ties with her!"

"Huifang is not a bad person at heart, she was just confused at the time!"

"I know she's not a bad person, but if you keep hanging out with her, you'll never find a partner again!"

"Then don't look for it. If you want to bother me, I will move to my own house tomorrow to make room for the three of you."

"Are you talking like a human being, Qiu Luming? I even skipped work just to remind you in person! You are such a heartless little girl! Dad! You should take care of her!"

Qiu Jiye's clinic doesn't have many patients, and there's even less at this time. He put down the pen in his hand and took off his reading glasses. "Yoyo is a blessed person, so we don't need to worry too much about her."

"Here we go again, you're using that feudal superstition again. Didn't you say that Yoyo and Zhang Weijing are the best match? Why didn't she marry Sun Ning, who is a perfect match for her?"

Qiu Luming was stunned when he heard this.

"Their horoscopes are indeed a good match." Qiu Jiye nodded, his eyes recalling something, "This kid is quite compatible with my personality."

"What about Fang Yuan and I?"

"You two are a good match, too."

"Ah? Dad, are you really done with it? When did you do it?"

"I calculate each of you regularly. Yoyo's marriage will have some twists and turns in the early stage, but it will be very happy in the end."

Qiu Jiashu suddenly didn't know what to say and wanted to continue refutation, but because his father just said that he and Fang Yuan had a very compatible horoscope, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Yoyo, what are you thinking?" Qiu Jiashu asked Qiu Luming instead, "Mom said that Li Yongliang called again, but you didn't answer."

"He just went on a blind date with me, and then went on a blind date with a girl from the Agricultural Bank. Maybe he didn't like her, so he called me back. I felt disgusted and didn't want to talk to him."

"Who told you to go on a blind date again?"

"Ma Mingjun's fiancée works at the Agricultural Bank of China. She told Ma Mingjun about it, and Ma Mingjun told me about it."

"Hey, why is it so hard for you to find a partner?"

"I went to Jile Temple that day and figured everything out. Anyway, I enjoy whatever God gives me and give up whatever he takes away. Besides, is 25 years old too old? Soong Mei-ling got married at 29, Bing Xin also got married at 29, Chen Yinke got married when he was almost 40, and his wife Tang Yun was already 30 years old. It doesn't make sense that women decades ago could get married late, but modern women can't! Isn't it advocating family planning? I am now responding to the country's call to get married and have children later!"

"Nonsense!" Qiu Jiashu said. "You're just trying to piss me off! I'm on duty! You guys go home early!"

Qiu Luming helped his father put away the notebooks on the table, and took his coat and hat. Qiu Jiye smiled, "When you were a child, you liked to run around to help me get things, and you still do it now. Oh, twenty years have passed in a flash, time flies!"

"I will help you get things and make delicious food for you every day in the future!" Qiu Luming smiled and helped his father put on his hat and handed him gloves.

"Well, you're painting a rosy picture for me again. When I was little, you said that when I grew up I would earn money for my dad to spend. I would buy him candy, roast chicken, and even a big train!"

Qiu Luming laughed and took his father's arm. The two walked out of the clinic and found Zheng Wei repairing the drawer of the medicine cabinet.

"Xiaowei, stop repairing it. Your eyes are not suitable for lowering your head now."

"It's okay, Uncle Qiu, it will be fine soon!"

"Uncle Qiu?" People in the whole county called Qiu Jiye Doctor Qiu, but Zheng Wei called him Uncle Qiu!

"Aunt Li and the cleaner are both off work." Zheng Wei said to Qiu Jiye, "Haha, Aunt Li treated my wound and didn't charge me for the consultation, so I'll just repair the two drawers!"

Qiu Luming looked at his father, then at Zheng Wei, "When did you two become so familiar with each other?"

Qiu Jiye said, "After you went to Russia, he always came to help me with work, repairing things, chopping firewood, carrying coal, clearing snow, turning the garden, doing everything, and even talking to me. He was better than your second brother."

"Dad!" Qiu Luming looked at his father speechlessly. A night owl comes into the house for no reason. You must know why he comes, right?

"Xiaowei is really good. Although he doesn't have the same education and IQ as Yuanhang, he is down-to-earth and reliable."

Well, let’s put them all together for comparison!

"So, you gave it to him!"

"Yes!" Qiu Jiye nodded.

At this time, Zheng Wei had already repaired the drawer and installed it back. He pulled it back and forth several times before he put the herbs back in place.

"Good craftsmanship!" Qiu Jiye praised.

"Zheng Wei, when did you learn carpentry?" Qiu Luming still remembered how he clumsily tried to build a large slope in front of his door.

"I just learned it and am thinking about it myself." Zheng Wei smiled, washed his hands and put on his coat.

Qiu Luming turned off all the lights and locked the inner and outer doors.

After retiring, Qiu Jiye seldom rode a bike. He preferred to walk briskly. Qiu Luming held her father's arm and walked briskly with him, following his breathing and steps, until they turned into Binjiang Road. The father and daughter, who were sweating slightly, relaxed, laughed, and walked slowly.

Qiu Luming turned around and saw Zheng Wei following him about ten meters behind him under the help of the street light.

"Dad, do you really think he's good?"

"Yes. I have thoroughly checked out the people they introduced you to."

"Dad, you are so kind!"

"Don't think that he is not as good-looking as Xie Zhi, nor as promising as Fei Yuanhang, nor as eloquent as the guy you dated before, and he is a bit stubborn and has a bad temper, but he is affectionate and honest. He is the perfect match for you in terms of living together."

Qiu Luming looked back again and said, "He has been by my side for the past five years, but I didn't even notice him. Is he really that suitable?"

"Of course! No, what do you mean by these five years? He has been by your side for twenty-five years!"

"Oh. Yes, yes!"

"When you were in kindergarten, you asked him to lie on the ground and play as a horse for you. Her mother saw it and was furious. She picked him up and beat him up. Do you remember?"

"Ah?" Qiu Luming was shocked.

"In the first grade of elementary school, you two were deskmates, and you pinched your deskmate's elbow until it turned blue because he crossed the 38th parallel; in the fifth grade, you watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes and said you liked Guo Jing, but you also liked Yang Kang's face, so you wrote a love letter to him, and the boys in the class found out..."

"Stop talking, stop talking!" Qiu Luming sighed.

"He told me that he rejected you because of the boys' instigation. When you cried, he regretted it. Who knew that you ignored him from then on."

"I really don't remember."

"Silly girl, try again. It doesn't make sense that you would go to see someone else's recommendation, but you wouldn't see the one your dad introduced to you!"
