I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 244: Washing Machine and Refrigerator

The joint activity with Class 1 of the second year was a great success.

The whole morning was spent exchanging medical knowledge. Some of these things were based on personal experience and could not be learned from medical books.

Yuan Xiu and her classmates gained a lot.

Of course, there were also places for senior students to study, and the two sides had a very friendly and harmonious exchange.

In the afternoon, Zhang Weiguo arranged a friendly basketball game with several male classmates.

As for who won or lost in the end, Yuan Xiu didn't know. She went home after the morning session and handed over the rest of the matter to her class monitor, Wang Jianjun.

When she got back, the two little ones were crying. Jiang Zhou tried to comfort one and then the other, sometimes playing the bad cop and sometimes the good cop, but he couldn't soothe them in the end.

"Why are you crying? Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi, Mommy's home!"

Upon hearing their mother's voice, the brother and sister turned around, sobbing. When they saw her, they burst into tears again.

Yuan Xiu put down her shoulder bag, picked up one child in each arm, and sat down on the sofa. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zhou was covered in sweat. "What else could I do? As soon as I got up, I made them carry them all over the house. I even went to Commissar Wang's house just to find you. When I couldn't find you, I kept crying and I couldn't comfort them."

Yuan Xiu kissed the two little ones on the forehead. "I don't see them acting like this when I'm at school."

"You don't usually go to school on weekends either."

Yuan Xiu looked down at her two little darlings: "They're so smart! They even know when Mommy should rest and when she should go to class!"

"Mommy." Zhizhi reached out her little hand and touched her mother's face, her little mouth grinning to reveal a few tiny teeth.

Qiaoqiao buried her face in her mother's arms, being very clingy.

"Both kids are used to it. Even if they don't understand, they subconsciously feel that you should be home today, but when they wake up they don't see you..."

Jiang Zhou was also surprised; he had come to this conclusion in just one morning.

No wonder he's his child; he's just as smart as him!

Yuan Xiu kissed the two little ones again, "Mom will definitely try to spend more time at home with you on her days off from now on."

"How was the social gathering?" Jiang Zhou asked.

"It's all good. There wasn't anything serious to begin with, and it's all been resolved by talking it out. By the way, where's Aunt Zhao?"

"I went to the countryside to buy eggs with the neighbors from the compound..."

Aunt Zhao not only bought eggs, but also an old duck to take home.

"I raised it for three or four years, and only sold it when it stopped laying eggs. Others didn't want it because the meat was too old, but I bought it. I'll make you pickled radish and old duck soup tonight!"

Aunt Zhao quickly killed the duck without Jiang Zhou's help.

The duck was stewed around 3 p.m., and the offal wasn't wasted either. It was carefully washed in the backyard for a long time, and it was prepared to be stir-fried into a topping for noodles the next morning.

Before the duck was even cooked, someone brought over a registered letter from the mailroom.

"What's stewing? It smells so good!"

"I'll bring you a bowl of duck stew when it's ready."

"No need, we're having meat at home tonight too."

Jiang Zhou took the letter into the house, opened it, and found a voucher for a washing machine and a refrigerator inside.

"Was it a letter from Mom?"

Jiang Zhou handed the two tickets to Yuan Xiu, "Let's buy a washing machine and a refrigerator next week."

It was indeed sent by Ms. An Hui. She had mentioned before that her family was short of a washing machine and a refrigerator, but the vouchers were not easy to obtain.

Jiang Zhou was also trying to get tickets, but Ms. An Hui was more skillful and got the tickets first.

"Just buy a refrigerator. When it gets hot, the meat and eggs I buy can be put in the refrigerator and won't spoil. It will also be convenient to make baby food for the two kids. There's no need to rush to buy a washing machine. There are only a few people's clothes at home, and I can wash them in a few seconds."

Aunt Zhao thought it was expensive; adding two large items to the house all at once must be a big deal.

Let's take it slow.

"We'll have to buy it sooner or later, so we might as well buy it now and enjoy it sooner," Yuan Xiu said. "You cook, take care of the children, and wash all the clothes. We're tired for you, but we're all tired for you. Having a washing machine will save us a lot of trouble."

Aunt Zhao has always been in charge of drying and washing the children's clothes. She and Jiang Zhou used to wash their own clothes, but Aunt Zhao was so diligent that she would often take them down to wash when they weren't home. The house is so small, she could find them no matter where they were put.

The decision to buy a washing machine and a refrigerator has been made.

On Monday, during class, everyone was talking about the weekend's social event with the second-year students.

"Our class played basketball with them and we tied! At first, they all said they would let us win because they were afraid of making us cry, but in the end, they never dared to say that again."

"Tch, how do you know they didn't let you win? What if they did let you win, and that's why it ended in a draw?"

"What?! You have no right to speak if you haven't participated. You haven't even watched, how do you know how well we played?"

The male students talked about basketball, while the female students talked about their morning's exchange and learning activities.

"Yuemei, you really should participate. I don't know about other departments, but our 'worker-peasant-soldier' ​​college students in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department are really talented!"

Zheng Yuemei: "Is it really that good?"

"Of course!" Liu Yazhi nodded: "I have benefited a lot. There is a saying that goes, 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me.' Many old doctors in the countryside have never even been to a proper school, but they still treat patients. You can say that they are not well-educated, but you can't say that they don't have medical skills."

"Moreover, the 'worker-peasant-soldier' ​​college students in our TCM department are almost all recommended by various medical units. Many of them have clinical experience and are very knowledgeable. Some of the patients have diseases that I have never even heard of."

Liu Yazhi casually mentioned two cases that senior students had encountered during their conversation.

Zheng Yuemei listened intently, "There's such a disease?"

"Yes, it's not just about physical ailments; some people are perfectly healthy, yet a doctor can cure them with just a few words. That's called psychotherapy!"

Zheng Yuemei felt a little regretful...

Liu Fang said, "Don't underestimate anyone. Everyone who becomes a worker-peasant-soldier college student has their own strengths, even if they're not in medicine, they're in other areas. Isn't the purpose of exchange to make up for each other's weaknesses with our own strengths?"

Zheng Yuemei: "Okay! I'll participate next time too!"

Upon hearing these words, Ding Xuewen revealed a sarcastic smile.

He cursed inwardly: How ignorant!
