Chapter 47 Passing by
Jiang Xingye's clothes fluttered, attracting the attention of passers-by.

He was handsome but expressionless, and his peach blossom eyes showed no affection, but rather ruthlessness, indifference, viciousness and cruelty. Yet no one dared to say anything about his appearance or said that he was not well-behaved.

Watching Xu Qinghuan and the other person enter the hospital, Jiang Xingye walked into a small alley without stopping. A middle-aged woman came running towards him in a hurry and almost bumped into him.

He frowned, stopped in time and moved to the side. The woman leaned against the wall, turned her head and shouted "Xiao Ye" in disbelief, with surprise, vigilance and fear in her eyes.

But Jiang Xingye had already left.

The person chasing behind was a man in his forties or fifties. When he saw Jiang Xingye, he was also caught off guard. Almost as a conditioned reflex, he hit Jiang Xingye with his stick.

Jiang Xingye's eyes were as sharp as lightning. He glanced at the man sideways as if he was a lunatic and kicked him away.

The man lay on the ground, wailing, and cursed at the woman, "Ma Zhilan, why don't you roll over here and help me up? You've raised a good son!"

Ma Zhilan glanced at the man with fear and heartache. She ran over angrily, quickly picked up the stick, and hit Jiang Xingye hard several times. "You unrighteous person, who told you to hit someone for no reason?"

Jiang Xingye walked straight forward without looking back until he walked out of the alley.

Only the dull thud of sticks hitting flesh still echoed in the alley.

Xu Qinghuan made an appointment with the surgery department. The doctor who examined her was a middle-aged female doctor. She was very kind and spoke softly. "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I was beaten. My body is bruised and it still hurts a little." Xu Qinghuan stated the facts calmly.

The female doctor was shocked, but she didn't say anything. "Close the door and take off your clothes so I can see them!"

Yu Xiaomin closed the door and waited outside.

Xu Qinghuan lifted up her clothes, and the female doctor took a look. There were still purple marks on her creamy skin. The shock was so great that she couldn't recover for a long time.

She asked Xu Qinghuan to lie on the bed and pressed her internal organs, letting her feel where it hurt and where it didn't hurt.

After a while, he said, "Your internal organs should be fine, but you should observe yourself more carefully. If you feel uncomfortable, you must seek medical attention immediately. I will give you a diagnosis certificate."

As she picked up the pen, she asked again, "Who hit you?"

"I'm a new educated youth, and I was beaten by the people at the educated youth site." Xu Qinghuan said aggrievedly.

The doctor's surname was Song. He was the chief physician of the People's Hospital. He had a daughter who was about the same age as Xu Qinghuan and had also gone to the countryside. He was extremely worried.

Perhaps it was because of her motherly heart that Dr. Song couldn't help but feel pity for Xu Qinghuan. She wrote the diagnosis as serious and asked Xu Qinghuan to rest for at least three days. If she felt any discomfort, she must seek medical attention in time.

"You educated youth are not very old yet, so you must protect yourselves well when you are out there."

When handing the diagnosis to Xu Qinghuan, Song Yanqing couldn't help but say.

Xu Qinghuan took it with both hands and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Doctor Song!"

Until she left the house, she did not encounter any opportunity to show her abilities like she did in Shen City. Xu Qinghuan's eyes searched around like a radar, but everything was calm and orderly, and there was no chance for her to display her abilities at all.

"What did the doctor say?" Yu Xiaomin asked with concern.

"It's no big deal, don't worry." Xu Qinghuan took her arm and said, "Let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat something first, then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. If there's enough time, how about going to the scrap collection station?"

She heard from her best friend in her previous life that most female protagonists would go to scrap recycling stations to shop, so Xu Qinghuan wanted to try her luck.

After all, it’s a rare opportunity to come here. I don’t know when I will come again.

"Okay, you arrange it." Yu Xiaomin didn't care. She was indeed here to accompany Xu Qinghuan.

She has an older sister, two older brothers, and two younger brothers in her family. She is the fourth child. She is not her parents' firstborn daughter like her older sisters, nor a boy like her older brothers, nor precious twins like her two younger brothers. As a girl stuck in the middle, she was not expected since birth, and was ignored as she grew up, just like a wild grass growing naturally.

Fortunately, she had good grades since she was a child and never relied on her family. She secretly collected garbage to sell when she was a child. Originally, her family did not plan to let her go to high school after finishing junior high school, but she was young when she went to the countryside and happened to be admitted to high school, so she stayed in the city for two more years.

This time when she went to the countryside, she only had the twenty yuan she had saved since she was a child, and her family only prepared a four-pound quilt and a not-so-thick cotton coat for her.

So, Yu Xiaomin didn’t have anything to buy, she went into the city purely for Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan originally planned to eat braised pork, but after thinking about it, he only ordered two bowls of plain noodles, each costing eight cents and two taels of food coupons.

The soup only had soy sauce and green onions, but Yu Xiaomin enjoyed it very much. The hot soup noodles were one of the most delicious foods she had ever eaten in her life.

After coming out of the state-owned restaurant, Yu Xiaomin stuffed two cents into Xu Qinghuan's pocket and said, "And the egg cake from this morning, Qinghuan, thank you for treating me to such a delicious meal!"

Xu Qinghuan feigned anger and said, "You came here with me this time, shouldn't I treat you to a full stomach? I've already told you that if you insist on breaking up with me so clearly, you shouldn't have come to the county with me."

Yu Xiaomin was afraid that she would become estranged from herself, so she hurriedly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, I won't give you any money, okay? Then I'll accompany you to the supply and marketing cooperative!"

I thought that there would always be a chance to return the food in the future, and I couldn’t let my good sisters know, but there would always be a chance.

"Well, okay!" Xu Qinghuan finally became happy. "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Xu Qinghuan bought a new washbasin and a new teacup, but there was nothing else to buy. The two of them just opened the box to see what was inside and then came out.

"Qinghuan, don't you have an enamel basin? Why did you buy another one?" Yu Xiaomin had borrowed Xu Qinghuan's enamel basin before. She was worried that her friend would dislike its dirtiness after using it, so she bought a new one.

Xu Qinghuan did think the basin was dirty, but it was definitely not because of Yu Xiaomin. Although she was a mysophobe, Yu Xiaomin also loved hygiene and kept everything she ate, wore, and used cleanly.

"I brought that enamel basin from home. My cousin and everyone in my family has used it. I didn't want it at first, but I didn't want to let them get away with it, so I brought it here."

Xu Qinghuan said, "If you want it, I'll sell it to you for fifty cents. What do you think?"

Xu Qinghuan didn't say that she was giving it to her for free. Instead, Yu Xiaomin was very happy. The uncomfortable feeling she had after eating Xu Qinghuan's food just now also faded a lot. She wanted to be good sisters with Xu Qinghuan forever, so she couldn't let herself take advantage of her.

"Okay!"

The enamel basin had a peony pattern and was about 70% to 80% new, with only a few scratches on the porcelain. If she went to buy one, it would cost three yuan and fifty-one cents, and she would have to pay for the basin ticket.

She didn't even have food coupons, let alone washbasin coupons.

Fifty cents is equivalent to giving half of it to her.

Yu Xiaomin was very grateful. She was good at her job and thought that if Qinghuan went to work, she could help out.

It was still early, so Xu Qinghuan took Yu Xiaomin to the scrap collection station. They happened to pass by the Xinhua Bookstore. There was a sign at the door recruiting foreign translators, so she paid attention to it.

When the two entered the scrap collection station, they happened to see Jiang Xingye coming out with a bicycle rim in each hand. He glanced at Xu Qinghuan with cold peach blossom eyes and passed by with an expressionless face.

Now that I have entered the second paid version, I feel like I can increase my word count.
