Chapter 80 Giving a Cold shoulder

Qiao Nian went to the hospital to study and work at the same time.

She works in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, seeing patients alongside her mentor.

Li Ruihua has been at the hospital for nine months and is quite familiar with the place.

Because of her excellent medical skills, Li Ruihua is very popular at the hospital.

Not only family members and soldiers, but even doctors in hospitals like to ask Li Ruihua for help with their medical treatment.

Qiao Nian, as Li Ruihua's personal disciple and only apprentice, not only inherited her master's medical skills but also had excellent interpersonal relationships.

With her and Li Ruihua taking turns working at the hospital outpatient clinic, the TCM department was always full of patients.

Qiao Nian had just seen off an aunt who had come to see a doctor. She tidied up her desk and prepared to go home after get off work.

It's snowing heavily today and the weather is too cold, so Qiao Nian didn't ask her master to come over.

Their work is very flexible now; as long as someone is in the consultation room, it doesn't have to be specified who it is.

My master's legs were frostbitten in the village a few years ago. At that time, he knew how to get medicine, but he couldn't buy any, so he could only endure the pain.

Now, my old leg injury flares up every winter.

Of course, now that we have the means, we can use medicated plasters, but medicine can only treat the symptoms gradually; it's not a panacea and it won't work as soon as you apply it.

Therefore, on such a snowy day, Qiao Nian would try her best to let her master rest at home.

She closed the door, and there was a 10-pound bag of high-gluten flour at her feet. She was going to take the bag to her master.

The Lunar New Year is just a few days away, and the hospital gave out some welfare benefits. It wasn't much: two jin of flour, one jin of meat, and half a jin of oil per person.

Qiao Nian had a lot of supplies in her space, so she thought of sending some to her master and mistress.

Anyway, if they bring it up, Qiao Nian will say that it was sent by her parents in Beijing. The whole family, except for the two twins, has reached a consensus on this point.

"Hey……"

Qiao Nian had only taken a few steps with the gluten powder in her hand when she heard a female voice calling "Hey!" behind her.

She didn't know who she was calling, so she wrapped her military overcoat tighter around herself and continued walking forward.

"Qiao Nian!"

The woman behind him grew anxious and finally called out his name.

Qiao Nian then stopped and looked back.

"Shen Yuqing, is something wrong?"

Because of her hatred for Chen Jing, and because Shen Yuqing had previously spoken up for Chen Jing, Qiao Nian harbored unwarranted hatred towards her. Therefore, Qiao Nian didn't even bother with feigned politeness when dealing with her.

No need.

What a waste of time.

Shen Yuqing was surprised by Qiao Nian's bad attitude. She was a little unhappy, but dared not say anything.

He could only mutter under his breath, "Is this how you treat your patients? And you're supposed to be a doctor that everyone praises."

"What? Just because I'm a doctor, does that mean I have to treat you unconditionally well? That I have to hold you in a esteemed position?"

Qiao Nian sneered, her gaze falling on Shen Yuqing. "Putting aside the fact that I'm off work now, who do you think you are? Do you expect me to fawn over you?"

"Qiao Nian!"

Shen Yuqing was furious. "How could you be so unreasonable?"

"I really don't know what Commander Lu likes about you?"

Shen Yuqing not only criticized her, but even tried to take charge of her husband's case?
Qiao Nian sneered repeatedly and turned to leave.

Shen Yuqing!
"Qiao Nian, why are you leaving? I haven't finished speaking."

"If you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much."

Without even thinking, Qiao left with a single sentence and continued walking away.

With the weather freezing cold, she had no mood to waste time with Shen Yuqing.

As for what Shen Yuqing, who stayed behind, would think or do, that had absolutely nothing to do with Qiao Nian.

She was busy delivering gluten powder to her master.

Qiao Nian arrived at the hospital's family compound and, familiar with the area, went to Li Ruihua's house.

Wang Xueqin was preparing dinner, while Li Ruihua was studying medical records with her reading glasses.

Seeing Qiao Nian carrying a bag of high-gluten flour, Wang Xueqin quickly came forward. "Why did Nian Nian bring so much high-gluten flour?"

"Sit down, sit down and warm your hands. I'll pour you some hot water."

Wang Xueqin turned around and went to get busy.

Li Ruihua looked up and asked his wife to add some brown sugar. Wang Xueqin smiled and said, "I know."

Qiao Nian quickly stopped her master's wife, "Master, I don't want to drink brown sugar water, I'm going back now."

The twins in my family are still breastfeeding.

Normally, the mother takes the two children to the hospital, and they go home after they have eaten.

But the snow was particularly heavy today, so Qiao Nian wouldn't let her mother bring the child out, so she stayed in the snow all afternoon.

The two siblings, Xiao Zi and Zi Jun, must be starving.

Li Ruihua understood Qiao Nian's meaning, "Then you should go back quickly."

"be careful on the road."

"Okay Master."

Qiao Nian stood up and spoke towards the kitchen, "Teacher's wife, you don't need to do anything else, I'll go back first."

"By the way, Master, Mistress, Lu Xiao said that we will also have New Year's Eve dinner at home this year. So don't bother with anything, just go over there in the morning."

Before leaving, she told her master and the others about having New Year's Eve dinner together.

Let them know in advance so they can be mentally prepared.

"it is good."

Li Ruihua also treated Qiao Nian like his own daughter, and he didn't stand on ceremony when she came to their house for meals.

Wang Xueqin came out of the house and, seeing Qiao Nian leaving, quickly told her to slow down.

Do you need an umbrella? I'll find one for you.

"No need, Master's wife, it's just a short walk."

Qiao Nian shielded her head with her hand to block some of the wind and snow, and walked quickly outside.

Wang Xueqin chased after her to the door, watching her retreating figure with great worry.

"Don't come if it snows heavily. It's a long way. Go home early after get off work. You have children to take care of."

"I understand, Madam. Don't worry about me."

As Qiao Nian spoke, she left the courtyard and closed the gate behind her.

After closing the door and leaving the hospital's staff quarters, she had only walked a few steps when she met the man who had come to pick her up at the entrance.

The wind and snow were heavy. The man walked in from outside, holding an umbrella. When he saw her, he quickened his pace.

Qiao Nian also jogged over to the man's umbrella.

"How did you come?"

She reached out and took the man's arm, tilting her head up and asking with a smile.

Lu Xiao held her hand and squeezed it. "Mom and Dad said you had to go to your master's house first. I saw that the snow was heavy, so I came to pick you up."

"Hmm, are the babies crying? Are they starving? Let's go back quickly!"

Qiao Nian quickened her pace.

Besides worrying about the baby going hungry, she was also feeling extremely uncomfortable from holding it in.

I need to get home as soon as possible.

Lu Xiao held his wife's hand and tilted the umbrella towards her. "Don't worry, they were sleeping when I came out."

"He probably won't wake up anytime soon."

"what……"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Nian's expression turned sour.

"They're sleeping?"

"Mom said she just fell asleep for a little while."

After Lu Xiao finished answering, he asked Qiao Nian, "What's wrong with the child's sleeping?"
Qiao Nian glared at Lu Xiao with a fierce look, her eyes full of warning.

She had very good reason to suspect that the man was asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xiao chuckled softly, clearly in high spirits.

He bent down slightly and whispered in his wife's ear, "Even though the baby is asleep, I can still help Niannian."

Qiao Nian!!!

That jerk, he's addicted, isn't he?

"You're the same age as the baby? How dare you compete with a baby who's only a few months old for food?"
