Chapter 47 - I Love My Home
Ding Shun specially instructed the chef to make Cheng Ling's favorite fish.
They ate on time at seven o'clock.
Ding Shun had the habit of drinking, but because of his old age, he had to control the amount. Thus Cheng Ling only let him drink a small glass.
Taking a sip of wine, Ding Shun smacked his lips, savoring the aftertaste carefully.
"Oh right, my performance in school today was okay, right? I didn't let others find out that we actually know each other, did I?"
Cheng Ling smiled. "No, Grandpa Ding. Your acting skills are very good. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have really missed my appointment today."
Cheng Ling waved the phone in her hand. Her chat with the WeChat "I Love My Home" was still stuck on the other party's "Where're you?". At that time, she was already standing in the office to receive the "criticism", so she didn't have time to reply to the message.
Ding Shun waved his hand. "That I won't agree. It's not easy to get an appointment with you, how can I let go of this opportunity so easily?"
Cheng Ling also got a small glass and poured herself a glass of wine.
She picked up the glass with both hands and toasted Ding Shun.
"Grandpa Ding, thank you so much for today."
She raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
Cheng Ling had often bought wine for her master. Thus she could tell that it was good wine. But it was a little spicy and high in alcohol.
Ding Shun also picked up his glass and drank it all.
"You little girl, why are you being so polite to an old man like me? If it weren't for you, I would have ascended to heaven a few years ago!"
He put down the empty glass and wanted to get the wine bottle again.
"Grandpa Ding, you can only drink one glass a day. Your leg has an old injury, and it hurts when the seasons change. It's even worse when you drink wine."
Ding Shun patted his knee when he heard that.
"Ever since I took the medicine you prescribed, I feel so much better! I haven't felt much pain since last year. But I still need to use a crutch to walk."
"Well, I've been doing research. The nerve in your injured leg has been damaged. The muscles have atrophied, and you can't exert strength like a normal leg. Grandpa Ding, don't worry. I'll make sure you throw away your crutch and walk as normal!"
Cheng Ling's eyes were always shining when she talked about these things.
She had seen the tears brought by illness, and the smiles on the faces of people who had been cured. She knew the value of this profession even more.
Ding Shun's eyes narrowed when he heard Cheng Ling's words.
"Good! I, Ding Shun, have been waiting for this day! Can't I have another drink on such a happy day?"
So this was his real intention after talking for so long!
Cheng Ling did not fall into this trap. She shook her head.
"I brought the new prescription for you today. Don't even talk about drinking another glass. After taking this medicine, you can't even touch a drop of alcohol. The alcohol will react with the medicine, and it will weaken the effect of the medicine."
"I'll drink it for you. It can be considered that you're drinking it."
Ding Shun's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a new prescription.
He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then you drink a little more. I'll rest assured and take care of my legs!"
With that, Cheng Ling drank two more glasses.
Her alcohol tolerance was not good. She had never drunk before. At most, she just took a sip.
After the meal, the two of them chatted happily.
After the meal, Cheng Ling checked Old Master Ding's pulse again. After confirming that his condition was improving, she felt much more at ease.
She took out a pale yellow paper from her bag.
"This is the new prescription. There are two ingredients in it that the Chinese medicine store doesn't have. I'll send them over to you regularly. I've brought you a month's supply today."
"Boil it with five bowls of water until it becomes a bowl of medicine. Then take it before you go to bed. You can take it once a day. I'll instruct the person who prepares the medicine for you later."
Cheng Ling was agile and fast. Soon, the follow-up consultation was over.
"Okay, thank you, Girl."
"No need to thank me. You've done a great job today. By the way, I've recently cultivated some vegetable seedlings. I'll bring them for you to taste when they are harvested. They taste so sweet."
What Cheng Ling did not tell Old Master Ding was that these vegetable seedlings were developed by her that could effectively relieve high blood pressure.
Ding Shun drank alcohol all year round, so his blood pressure was higher than that of an ordinary person.
When Cheng Ling first saw Old Master Ding, his blood pressure was so high that it was frightening. With such a high blood pressure, it was very easy for him to have a sudden stroke.
Therefore, strictly controlling drinking was the most important factor in the treatment.
After carefully instructing him on some matters to take note of, Cheng Ling looked at her watch. It was already past eight o'clock.
"Grandpa Ding, I have to go. If I'm late, my grandmother will be worried."
"Okay, I'll send a car to send you back."
Ding Shun knew that Cheng Ling was a person of her word, so he did not persuade her to stay any longer.
Cheng Ling did not reject Old Master Ding's good intention.. She got into the car that he had arranged and went back.
