Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 190 Awake

Bai Jing leaned back weakly on the sofa and looked at Jiang Chen, who was lying in the hospital bed and the doctor said was fine.

The scanner continued to scan Jiang Chen's brain. The shrapnel had long since flowed out with the blood; it wasn't big, you could say it was very small.

As Bai Jing rubbed the tiny shrapnel in her hand, she witnessed the evolution of human brain development.

Before she knew it, Bai Jing had fallen asleep on the sofa.

The night was neither too long nor too short, but it gave Bai Jing a big surprise.

Because Jiang Chen woke up.

However, his eyes were a little cloudy when he woke up. Xiao Jin said that this was normal, as he had not yet adapted to his brain development.

He'll get used to it.

What Bai Jing needs to do now is to nourish him.

Because using one's brain is physically demanding, Jiang Chen's lifespan will be affected if he doesn't take proper care of himself.

Bai Jing dared not delay. After consulting with the doctor, she rushed out to buy tonics immediately.

These days, although supply and marketing cooperatives also sell tonics, they are still inferior to ginseng and deer antler.

She had no choice but to buy highly nourishing supplements from a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the hospital.

I heard it was for soldiers, so the hospital brought out its best stock.

Bai Jing didn't care about the money and bought batch after batch.

The extravagant gesture even alarmed the military leadership.

Sure enough, Zhang Shuo arrived at the hospital with a leader who was around fifty years old.

They immediately contacted the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department at the hospital to inquire about Jiang Chen's condition.

Fortunately, the director said that Bai Jing's kind of tonic would not harm the patient, otherwise Bai Jing might not still be able to stay by Jiang Chen's side.

"Comrade Bai Jing, please take these for now. If you need more, have the comrade guarding the gate notify me, and I will send you more." Zhang Shuo gave Bai Jing another five hundred yuan. He knew that Bai Jing had spent money on supplements for Jiang Chen.

This money was his private savings. If it wasn't enough, he would ask his family for more. He was determined to bring Jiang Chen back.

However, Bai Jing did not accept his money this time. "Brother Zhang, you have already given me enough. I can't accept this money. Don't worry, I have a job and some savings. I'll ask you for it when I need more, okay?"

She can't keep taking what others have done so well without giving it away indefinitely.

Jiang Chen's need for tonics isn't a one-time thing; it's something he'll need for the rest of his life.

We can't expect them to support Jiang Chen for the rest of their lives.

She should work harder, do more tasks, and get more good items to exchange with Xiao Jin; otherwise, it definitely won't be enough for Jiang Chen's expenses.

As for those medicinal herbs, if she has the chance, she must go to Northeast China, where there are even more wild medicinal herbs.

I should at least stock up on some in my storage space.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite with me. Just take it." Zhang Shuo had gotten to know Bai Jing quite well over the past few days and knew that she wasn't a greedy person, so he was even more willing to give.

Bai Jing shook her head again and pushed the money back. "Brother Zhang, I also have a family to support. I can't give you all the money. My family needs to make a living too." She wasn't just there for nothing; she had also thoroughly investigated Zhang Shuo.

Knowing that he was upright and loyal, she wouldn't be the bad guy who would hinder their camaraderie.

The leader who came with Zhang Shuo was named Shu Lindong. He was a leader in the army and the one who led the last mission.

The reason he took so long to appear was because there were still some follow-up matters to deal with from the last mission.

Upon hearing that Jiang Chen had woken up, he immediately put down his work and rushed over.

"Comrade Bai, I won't say anything if you don't accept Zhang Shuo's money, but you have to accept this one from me." Leader Shu took out an envelope that was even larger than Zhang Shuo's from his briefcase.

"This is the reward for this mission and the troops' expression of condolence to Comrade Jiang Chen. Don't worry, our department will take care of the medicinal materials you purchased. We will definitely not let Comrade Jiang Chen bleed and shed tears."

Leader Shu's words silenced all of Bai Jing's objections. "Don't worry, we will take care of the necessary medicinal materials and will certainly not let Comrade Jiang Chen down."

This was something Bai Jing hadn't expected.

But she didn't answer; instead, she looked at Jiang Chen, who had already woken up on the hospital bed.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes had become somewhat clear; he could hear their conversation and understood what they meant.

Bai Jing looked at him, and he knew what she meant.

Seeing him nod, Bai Jing thanked him and accepted the gift.

"Thank you for your kindness, leaders and soldiers. I accept it."

Although Jiang Chen cannot speak yet, he has a good memory and remembers everything that happens.

"Jiang Chen is awake! You're really lucky, kid." Everyone noticed Bai Jing's movements and naturally noticed the person who had woken up in the hospital bed.

Leader Shu arrived at the bedside immediately, smiling as he looked at Jiang Chen, "You brat, you scared this old man to death." He didn't say anything about not doing this again.

Jiang Chen was also trying to save his comrade-in-arms.

A smile flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, as if to say, "I won't scare you to death."

Bai Jing gave them space, since there were many things she couldn't say to them.

After leaving the house, Bai Jing went to prepare Jiang Chen's tonics.

When she was ready to return, she heard a hoarse voice in her ear.

"There's a mole."

It's no wonder she could hear it from outside the door; her senses are far more acute than those of ordinary people.

"Okay, we've got it. Now, you just focus on getting better. We'll handle the rest." Shu Lindong hadn't expected to receive such news.

It seems those people really don't take their China seriously.

Zhang Shuo looked apologetic. "You little rascal, don't do that again next time. You scared me to death, you know? You really are a stumbling block on my highway." Zhang Shuo laughed and scolded him.

Jiang Chen ignored him completely, rolled his eyes, and uttered two words, "Idiot."

Seeing that the two of them had returned to their previous appearance, Shu Lindong also smiled.

"Alright, Xiao Jiang is still sick, so don't be stupid with him. Be careful he beats you up when he gets better, and don't come to me for judgment then."

When Zhang Shuo saw his boss teasing him like that, his face turned red. Well, what could he do? He was shameless and defiant back then.

If you can't win, you resort to complaining; you'll be a black mark for life.

Jiang Chen looked at the closed door and gestured to the two of them to stop talking.

They were both from the military, so they naturally understood what was going on.

Zhang Shuo went to open the door, and as soon as he opened it, he saw Bai Jing standing at the door holding a clay pot.

"Sister-in-law is here, come in quickly." He immediately stepped aside and took the casserole from Bai Jing's hands.

Jiang Chen, who was inside the house, also heard the word "sister-in-law" and his face inexplicably turned red.

Seeing him like this, Shu Lindong teased him, "Oh, you've finally learned to be shy. I thought you weren't that thick-skinned."

Bai Jing naturally heard these words as well. She looked at Jiang Chen on the bed, her face flushed.

It's clear that those words not only teased Jiang Chen, but also embarrassed Bai Jing.

"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Chen said to Shu Lindong in his hoarse voice, then turned to look at Bai Jing, his eyes full of smiles, "Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing him like this, Bai Jing could no longer hold back her tears.
