73 073 Don’t Forget Zhuang Liu
Tan Rou thought about it and decided that Bai Jing was the only one who could help her.
After class, Tan Rou called Bai Jing. “Uncle Bai, it’s ! Tan Rou!”
Bai Jing chuckled on the other end of the line. “I know. I have saved your number. I was just about to look for you. My young friend, have you been busy recently?”
Tan Rou seed to have seen the wrinkles on Bai Jing’s face and smiled happily. “It’s alright. We’ve started school and I haven’t had ti to visit you recently. I miss you.”
Bai Jing smacked his head and suddenly rembered that Tan Rou was still in school. He said to her, “Your studies are more important so you don’t have to rush to see an old man like . I heard from little Liu ‘er that your treatnt is going well, so I’m relieved.”
Tan Rou felt touched when she heard Bai Jing’s concern for her like an elder in the family. “I know. Don’t worry, Uncle Bai.”
Bai Jing laughed heartily. “There’s another piece of good news. Didn’t Zhuang Liu buy all your nerve-soothing incense last ti? I still have so in stock. He won’t be able to use that much in a short ti anyway. In the end, the stock sold out very well. Many patients said that your nerve-soothing incense is very effective!”
When Bai Jing thought of having such an outstanding young woman like Tan Rou and that there would be a successor for Chinese dicine, he was particularly pleased. “This is sothing that I had in mind. When you’re not busy with your howork, you can do so more. Then, you can earn so pocket money. Plus, it’s a good thing to help patients and accumulate rit!”
Tan Rou was happy to hear that her incense was popular. It didn’t make much money but it was just as Bai Jing had said. It was a good thing to be able to bring so comfort to the patient.
Therefore, tan Rou agreed imdiately. “Sure, Uncle Bai, I’m in school now so it’s not very convenient. I’ll send you the list of dicinal herbs later and you can find soone to buy them for .”
“No problem.” Bai Jing agreed readily. “Just don’t let it affect your studies. By the way, I’m old and muddleheaded. I was so focused on talking to you that I forgot to ask you why you called .”
Tan Rou restrained her expression, walked to a place where no one was around and whispered, “Uncle Bai, do you know the old master of the Lu family? I heard that he’s not in good health. Did he co to you for treatnt?”
Bai Jing recalled for a mont. Although he was a little confused as to why Tan Rou had suddenly asked this, he still answered truthfully, “I only know that the old monster from the Lu family lived in a military compound. When he was young, he led the Army into war. He probably has so old illnesses but he has never co to . After all, those who co to would be suffering from critical diseases or there are even so who are on the line between life and death.”
Tan Rou knew that she might have been too anxious. It might not be ti for the old master of the Lu family to act up yet. So, there was no news in this regard.
“Why are you suddenly asking about him?” Bai Jing could not help but ask.
“It’s nothing, ” Tan Rou explained. “His grandson is my classmate. I just thought of it and so I thought of asking about it. Since he suffers from those illnesses, there should be a doctor who would check up on him, right?”
Bai Jing nodded. “That’s for sure. Are there any soldiers from that generation who don’t suffer from a condition? It’s lucky that they didn’t lose an arm or a leg during the battle. Are you close with that classmate? You seem to care a lot about his grandfather!”
Tan Rou quickly denied. “No, I’m really just asking. I don’t know him well.”
Bai Jing smiled in relief. “That’s good. If there’s any male students chasing you in school….You have to keep your eyes open! Also, don’t forget about Zhuang Liu. He’s also very outstanding! He’s still waiting for you!”
Bai Jing still wanted to pair up Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu but he had to tell Zhuang Liu to hurry up.
Tan Rou was such an outstanding young man. What if she was snatched away by soone else in school? Where else could he find such a good wife?!
Tan Rou’s face imdiately turned red. “Uncle Bai! I really don’t have any! Don’t joke with ! Alright, I’m going to class now!”
When Tan Rou heard Bai Jing ntion Zhuang Liu, she felt shy. After Bai Jing said that, her relationship with Zhuang Liu seed to be more ambiguous.
Bai Jing chuckled. “Alright, alright, alright. I won’t say anything more. Go to class quickly. I’ll get soone to buy you so dicinal herbs in a while! I’ll also help you find out more about the Lu family.”
After the two hung up the phone, Tan Rou sorted out her mood, patted her slightly hot cheeks, and returned to the classroom.
