She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 893 - 814: Famine Era 55 (Third Update) (Part 2)

Tong Zhan quickly laughed apologetically: "I was wrong, from now on, you take charge of these matters, I absolutely won’t meddle. But the health clinic doesn’t have much medicine right now, I’ve applied to the higher-ups, and it should be delivered next week."

"You need to hurry, during this time people who fall ill rely on local remedies for brewing medicine, it’s not a long-term solution, and its effects are minimal."

...

The couple talked a lot about the development of the regiment center, Tong Zhan washed his feet, and Ye Huan also washed up. After washing, the twins woke up with a whimper, and they each took them to pee, placed them on the bed, closed the door, and finally lay down together.

Tong Zhan turned over and hugged her. In the darkness, his breathing was heavy, she knew he was experimenting. Ten minutes later, he sighed and turned over.

Ye Huan hugged his shoulders from behind: "Don’t be discouraged, it’s just a matter of time. Regarding your condition, I’ve been researching continuously, and I plan to try Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture on you. But our house doesn’t have good lighting, which isn’t suitable for me to operate practically. If I mistakenly puncture a wrong spot, the consequences would be unbearable. So for these two years, you need to take care of your health first. Once conditions are better or we have time during the day, I will try it on you."

Tong Zhan nodded quietly and tightly held her hand: "Wife, thank you for your hard work."

"Fool, we are husband and wife!"

——

A week later, the medicines for the 183rd Regiment’s health clinic were delivered, but they were all common meds, the same as the other regiments.

Ye Huan and Zeng Ya became the internal and external doctors of the regiment, Fang Fang and Wan Lingling became the regiment’s nurses.

Children, except those under one year old, were mostly sent to preschool. Those over six went to primary school. There’s no middle school here. If they wanted to attend middle school, they had to go to the city’s only middle school, register and take the entrance exam, and meet the standards to qualify.

In this era, attending primary school was already impressive. Of course, whether it was preschool or primary school in the regiment, there were fees.

Preschool and primary school had tuition of five yuan per semester, and just this expenditure for their family reached fifteen yuan. But if you didn’t send them, you couldn’t even earn your salary.

As soon as Tong Zhan arrived, he started working, so he always had a salary. She only started working around May, so her salary naturally started from May.

Warriors worked day and night, and if they weren’t full, it was easy for them to slack off. It wasn’t unusual for them to get minor injuries now and then.

That day she was disinfecting a warrior’s leg and didn’t notice a pregnant woman entering the consultation room. Wan Lingling was about to speak when the woman gestured to her to be quiet, and stood behind Ye Huan to watch her treat patients.

Because it was a leg treatment, she needed to squat, and over time, her foot easily became numb. When she stood up, she felt a bit dizzy and stumbled, but the person behind her quickly supported her: "Be careful."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Huan was momentarily stunned, then turned around abruptly to see her sister smiling brightly at her.

"Oh my, I’m not dreaming, am I? Yu’er, how did you get here?"

"I came with the regiment’s vehicle, but I have to leave soon. Sis, how come you’re here too?"

"I’ve told you long ago, haven’t I?"

After saying this, Ye Huan instructed Doctor Zeng to help watch over things, then pulled Ye Yu to the preschool to bring back her three children.

Ye Yu looked at the children beside her sister, raised fair and clean, genuinely happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

Then she pulled over a bundle she brought, taking out some dried fruits from inside.

"We don’t have many good things around here, these are local specialties from our place. Sister and the children can try them."

"You’re about to give birth, why are you still running around? What about postpartum care? I’ll come back later!"

"Oh no, you absolutely shouldn’t leave here, right? Don’t worry, we have older sister-in-laws on the farm, I’ve arranged and paid them to help care a bit. I’m fine, Hu Zi is good to me, not worried about food or drinks. I’m teaching in the city’s middle school, the environment is better than the countryside. If it wasn’t for rushing from the city to here, if I had to come from Hetian, it would probably be even harder for us sisters to meet."

"Hetian? Did you say Ji Huzi is in Hetian?"

Ye Yu looked surprised at her excited sister: "Yes, sis, what’s the matter?"

"Hetian has lots of good things. If you go back, remember to go to the river, the stream, and look for those pebble-like stones. Generally smaller in size, smooth in shape, dense texture, prefer white in color. If you encounter larger ones in the mountains with irregular corners and a coarse texture compared to offspring materials, mainly blue-white, gray-white, collect those too. On the Gobi Desert, they vary in size. They are often flaky, smooth surfaces, often with ripple marks and varying sized sand holes, fine texture, dense and hard..."

After explaining the features and shapes of Nephrite Jade to Ye Yu, she worried her sister couldn’t remember, so she specifically took out paper and pen to write and draw it down.

"Sis, what’s this thing? Pretty stones?"

Ye Huan twitched her mouth slightly, "You could say that, too. Tell Hu Zi to find as many as possible for me. Whether it’s in the mountains, streams, rivers, or the Gobi Desert, collect them discreetly, stash them at home, and bring them when you have time. I’ll pay you based on the quantity."

"No, sis, you’re exaggerating, aren’t they just stones? Why bother paying for them?"

Ye Yu seemed puzzled, but Ye Huan laughed when she heard it.
