Chapter 173: Chapter 173: A Different Kind of Life
The doctor asked a few more questions and, after confirming she had no issues, said to them, “The child is fine, don’t worry. She wasn’t very talkative just now probably because she had a fever all night and lacks energy.”
Hearing this, the couple completely relaxed, “That’s good, that’s good.”
The doctor stood up and said, “I’ll prescribe so dicine for you, and then you can go ho. Oh, and your child is malnourished. You should go ho and make her so nutritious food to help her recover.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaojuan’s face showed a bitter smile.
The good food at their ho never found its way to their daughters’ mouths; it was already good enough if they could fill their stomachs.
But that was not sothing she could discuss with strangers.
Jiang Changhe fell silent for a mont and then grunted in agreent. He followed the doctor to pay for the dicine and returned with the remaining ten or so yuan.
Zhao Xiaojuan looked at the money in his hand and then at her pale-faced daughter. She gritted her teeth and said, “Changhe, you heard what the doctor said. Zhaodi just had a fever all night, and if we go back ho now, there definitely won’t be any food. How about we go to the state-owned restaurant and buy so lean at porridge and eggs to nourish her body?”
Jiang Changhe glanced at his daughter, who lay quietly beside her. Her usually sallow face was now terrifyingly pale, so he nodded and said, “Okay.”
So the three of them went to the state-owned restaurant and ordered a bowl of lean at porridge and two eggs.
When the server brought them over, Zhao Xiaojuan pushed the food in front of Zhaodi, “Darling, you must be hungry, right? Eat more, and if it’s not enough, we’ll order more.”
Zhaodi looked at the hot porridge and eggs in front of her and then at the concerned gaze of her parents. She opened her mouth to say sothing but choked up instead.
“Eat up now, so we can go ho afterward,” Zhao Xiaojuan said as she peeled the eggs and added them to the lean at porridge.
Zhaodi pushed the bowl towards her parents, “Mom, Dad, you eat too.”
“Your dad and I already had breakfast, you go ahead and eat,” said Zhao Xiaojuan, finding her daughter’s thoughtfulness very comforting.
Zhaodi knew her mother was definitely lying and insisted, “If you don’t eat, I’m not eating either.”
Even though Jiang Changhe frowned and spoke sternly, telling her to eat quickly, she remained stubborn every ti.
“You child!”
The couple had no choice but to buy a stead bun and share it.
Zhaodi knew this was the greatest concession from her parents. She sniffled a bit sourly, urging them to drink so porridge, but the couple refused to do so.
Jiang Changhe asked a server from the state-owned restaurant for two bowls of boiling water, and they simply drank the water and ate half a stead bun each.
The stead buns from the state-owned restaurant were large and substantial; even half was enough to fill them up a bit.
In the end, the lean at porridge and eggs all went into Zhaodi’s stomach.
Zhao Xiaojuan asked, “Are you full?”
Zhaodi nodded, saying, “I’m full.”
After eating, she gradually regained her strength and cald down, and Zhaodi ca to terms with the fact that she had returned to her childhood.
She had already co back, and even if she didn’t accept it, there was no other way.
Instead of resisting passively, it was better to face it actively.
Let her use the knowledge of the future from her past life to change the fate of their family.
Zhaodi clenched her fists tightly and vowed silently in her heart that this ti, she would never let the Third Branch trample on them and leech off them again!
She was determined to live a life completely different from her last one!
