73 073 Donât 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. âUncle Bai, itâs me! Tan Rou!â
Bai Jing chuckled on the other end of the line. âI know. I have saved your number. I was just about to look for you. My young friend, have you been busy recently?â
Tan Rou seemed to have seen the wrinkles on Bai Jingâs face and smiled happily. âItâs alright. Weâve started school and I havenât had time to visit you recently. I miss you.â
Bai Jing smacked his head and suddenly remembered that Tan Rou was still in school. He said to her, âYour studies are more important so you donât have to rush to see an old man like me. I heard from little Liu âer that your treatment is going well, so Iâm relieved.â
Tan Rou felt touched when she heard Bai Jingâs concern for her like an elder in the family. âI know. Donât worry, Uncle Bai.â
Bai Jing laughed heartily. âThereâs another piece of good news. Didnât Zhuang Liu buy all your nerve-soothing incense last time? I still have some in stock. He wonât be able to use that much in a short time anyway. In the end, the stock sold out very well. Many patients said that your nerve-soothing incense is very effective!â
When Bai Jing thought of having such an outstanding young woman like Tan Rou and that there would be a successor for Chinese medicine, he was particularly pleased. âThis is something that I had in mind. When youâre not busy with your homework, you can do some more. Then, you can earn some pocket money. Plus, itâs a good thing to help patients and accumulate merit!â
Tan Rou was happy to hear that her incense was popular. It didnât make much money but it was just as Bai Jing had said. It was a good thing to be able to bring some comfort to the patient.
Therefore, tan Rou agreed immediately. âSure, Uncle Bai, Iâm in school now so itâs not very convenient. Iâll send you the list of medicinal herbs later and you can find someone to buy them for me.â
âNo problem.â Bai Jing agreed readily. âJust donât let it affect your studies. By the way, Iâm old and muddleheaded. I was so focused on talking to you that I forgot to ask you why you called me.â
Tan Rou restrained her expression, walked to a place where no one was around and whispered, âUncle Bai, do you know the old master of the Lu family? I heard that heâs not in good health. Did he come to you for treatment?â
Bai Jing recalled for a moment. Although he was a little confused as to why Tan Rou had suddenly asked this, he still answered truthfully, âI 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 some old illnesses but he has never come to me. After all, those who come to me would be suffering from critical diseases or there are even some who are on the line between life and death.â
Tan Rou knew that she might have been too anxious. It might not be time for the old master of the Lu family to act up yet. So, there was no news in this regard.
âWhy are you suddenly asking about him?â Bai Jing could not help but ask.
âItâs nothing, â Tan Rou explained. âHis 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?â
Bai Jing nodded. âThatâs for sure. Are there any soldiers from that generation who donât suffer from a condition? Itâs lucky that they didnât lose an arm or a leg during the battle. Are you close with that classmate? You seem to care a lot about his grandfather!â
Tan Rou quickly denied. âNo, Iâm really just asking. I donât know him well.â
Bai Jing smiled in relief. âThatâs good. If thereâs any male students chasing you in schoolâ¦.You have to keep your eyes open! Also, donât forget about Zhuang Liu. Heâs also very outstanding! Heâs still waiting for you!â
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 someone else in school? Where else could he find such a good wife?!
Tan Rouâs face immediately turned red. âUncle Bai! I really donât have any! Donât joke with me! Alright, Iâm going to class now!â
When Tan Rou heard Bai Jing mention Zhuang Liu, she felt shy. After Bai Jing said that, her relationship with Zhuang Liu seemed to be more ambiguous.
Bai Jing chuckled. âAlright, alright, alright. I wonât say anything more. Go to class quickly. Iâll get someone to buy you some medicinal herbs in a while! Iâll also help you find out more about the Lu family.â
After the two hung up the phone, Tan Rou sorted out her mood, patted her slightly hot cheeks, and returned to the classroom.
