Untitled Part 75 Illness

                                    

                                          
Seeing the stethoscope in the medical kit, he immediately picked it up and placed it on Uncle Jiang's chest, listening carefully for a long time.
After confirming his diagnosis, he began to prepare the medication and then started the IV for Uncle Jiang.
Looking around, he didn't see any stand to hang the IV bottle.
He turned to Su Su, "Do you have a floor-standing coat rack?"
Seeing the IV bottle in his hand, Su Su instantly understood that he needed the rack to hang the IV bottle.
"Yes, I'll get it now."
Su Su returned to 701, found a coat rack, and also grabbed a broom, dustpan, and a trash can.
She then took out a bag, putting in two boxes of self-heating rice and a five-kilogram bag of rice.
She brought the items to 702, and Feng Zehua hung the IV bottle on the coat rack, quickly setting up the IV for Uncle Jiang.
Su Su handed him the prepared items, "Thank you for today. This is a thank-you gift. I'll need your help with Uncle Jiang's IV for the next few days."
"Alright, I'll head back now. If you need me to remove the needle, just call me."
Feng Zehua smiled and took the items without hesitation, then calmly returned to his own place.
Su Su watched Uncle Jiang sitting uncomfortably on a small stool while getting the IV.
She thought about the extra bed in her space but couldn't bring it out directly.
"Uncle Jiang, don't move while getting the IV. I have an extra small bed. I'll bring it over.""I can move it myself after the IV."
"No need, I can handle it."
Hearing this, Uncle Jiang immediately tried to get up. How could a young girl move a bed?
Su Su pressed him back onto the stool, "Don't move, or the needle might backflow. I won't be responsible if that happens."
Seeing her a bit angry, Uncle Jiang quickly shut his mouth.
Su Su felt relieved and stepped out, but suddenly turned back to look at Uncle Jiang.
Uncle Jiang immediately straightened up and said seriously, "I won't move, I promise."
Seeing Uncle Jiang's cute reaction, Su Su couldn't help but laugh quietly as she turned away.
Uncle Jiang had always been loving and kind, but today she saw a childlike side of him.
Su Su smiled and went back to the living room, starting to take out some daily necessities from her space.
She brought everything over to Uncle Jiang, including a quilt, a heater, and a men's down jacket.
Seeing Su Su bring over so many items, Uncle Jiang was stunned. Where did this girl get all these things?
Uncle Jiang wanted to ask but was afraid of prying too much, as it might seem like he was trying to uncover her secrets.
If someone tried to pry into his secrets, he wouldn't be happy either.
Moreover, he wasn't her father. Being taken care of by her was already a blessing.
"Did you buy all these with points?" Uncle Jiang asked with a happy smile, giving her an excuse.
Unexpectedly, Su Su looked at him with slight embarrassment and said, "No, these are things I used before. I bought new ones later and cleaned these up."
Saying this, she handed him a thick black down jacket, "Uncle Jiang, put on the jacket quickly."
Hearing this, Uncle Jiang felt much more at ease. He was really worried that Su Su had spent her points recklessly.
If that were the case, he wouldn't feel comfortable living in this house.
But the down jacket she brought over, although it had no tags, still had the smell of new clothes.
Uncle Jiang looked at her suspiciously, "Are you sure this wasn't bought with points?"
"No," Su Su said firmly.
These were bought with money in advance, not points. She wasn't lying.
Seeing her so determined, Uncle Jiang felt it would be excessive to doubt her further.
After Uncle Jiang put on the jacket, she opened a black plastic bag nearby.
Uncle Jiang glanced curiously and was shocked again.
Where did this girl get so many good things?
Earlier, he saw her give Feng Zehua a bag of rice and self-heating rice, thinking those were her best items.
But Su Su turned out to be full of surprises, bringing out so many good things that his heart almost skipped a beat.
He pretended not to see the items, but his eyes kept sneaking glances at the bag.
Inside were an iron pot, a thermos, rice, cured meat, dried vegetables, noodles, and many self-heating rice and hot pot meals.
He couldn't help but swallow, his appetite whetted by the various foods in the bag.
Su Su took out two boxes of self-heating rice and turned to see Uncle Jiang quickly looking away guiltily.
She couldn't help but smile, "Uncle Jiang, you're sick now and need to eat light. How about the cured meat combo?"
"Okay," Uncle Jiang nodded instinctively.
The next moment, he widened his eyes in excitement. Did Su Su just say he could eat the cured meat combo self-heating rice?
Cured meat combo rice?
He must have heard wrong, right?
Uncle Jiang turned to see two boxes of self-heating rice on the small table, one fish-flavored shredded pork and the other cured meat combo.
Su Su was opening the self-heating pot, placing the dishes on the rice, then adding water and covering it.
Watching the steam rise from the vent, he felt he could already smell the tantalizing aroma of rice and meat.
His hunger, which he had been holding back, now growled loudly at the smell.
Su Su smiled, "Uncle Jiang, just wait a bit longer. It'll be ready soon."
╯□╰
Uncle Jiang's ears turned red, and he smiled calmly, "Yes, I know."
Although he appeared calm, only he knew how flustered he felt inside.
Su Su secretly laughed to herself, not teasing the thin-skinned Uncle Jiang any further.
She took out a stove from the bag, placed three or four small charcoal pieces inside, and used a gas torch to light them.
After turning off the gas torch and putting it away, she added more charcoal to the stove.
The weather was too cold, and the outdoor water had frozen. To drink water, they had to boil it.
She poured some water into an iron pot to clean it, then filled it halfway and covered it, placing it on the stove.
By now, the self-heating rice was ready, filling the room with a mouth-watering aroma.
Su Su poured out the excess water from the self-heating pack and handed the cured meat combo rice to Uncle Jiang.
Uncle Jiang quickly took it, opened the chopsticks, and stirred the rice to mix it with the cured meat and char siu sauce.
He took a bite and let out a satisfied sigh.
Su Su opened her fish-flavored shredded pork rice and began to eat slowly.
