"What do you mean by fine?" Dong Yun's tone was a little agitated. "What else can be considered fine? If you weren't injured, would the shop let you go home early to rest? "
Speaking of this, Dong Yun was distressed and angry. She asked, "Mom, where are you hurt? Is it serious? "
"It's a little burn on my back. It's fine!" Zheng Shuying said.
"Let me see!"
Dong Yun walked over and carefully lifted Zheng Shuying's clothes. When she saw several red burn marks on her mother's back, Dong Yun couldn't help but cry.
"Xiao Yun, Mom is really fine!" Zheng Shuying quickly put down her clothes and comforted her. "The burn medicine that the young man gave me is very effective. It doesn't hurt now!"
Dong Yun had just seen the news, so she naturally knew this detail. She asked suspiciously, "Really? I think it's quite serious. Do you want to go to the hospital to deal with it? "
Zheng Shuying quickly said, "It's really not necessary. It's already much better!"
At that time, the heating in the shop was relatively strong. In addition, she had been working all the time, so Zheng Shuying only wore a single layer of clothes. After the hot soup passed through a layer of clothes, the temperature was somewhat reduced, so her injury wasn't as serious as Xia Ruofei's.
However, if she hadn't used the ointment that Xia Ruofei gave her in time, it was very likely that she would have blistered. After using the ointment once, the injury had been alleviated a lot. After applying the ointment, the injury felt more cool, and there wasn't the burning sensation that would occur from time to time after being scalded.
Dong Yun heard her mother's words, and saw that there were no blisters or pus in the scalded area, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Then, Dong Yun said, "But you have to listen to me for once. Let's quit this job and resign tomorrow, okay?"
"Why would I resign all of a sudden?" Zheng Shuying firmly disagreed. "I said that it was just an accident. I usually do the cleaning in the shop. How could there be any danger?"
"Whether it's dangerous or not, I don't want you to do it anymore," Dong Yun said. "We're not short of money now. Why do you have to work so hard? You're already so old, yet you're still working hard outside. People who don't know would think that I'm unfilial! "
Zheng Shuying rebuked, "You silly child, what are you saying? I'm not so old that I need you to take care of me! "
"Mom …" Dong Yun held her mother's hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Just listen to me this once!"
Zheng Shuying, who was used to her daughter's energetic style, felt goosebumps all over her body. She said helplessly, "Okay, okay, okay … Can we put this matter aside for now? Regardless of whether he was going to resign or not, he had to at least finish it before the New Year! Otherwise, how are you going to let the shop recruit people at this time? "
As the Spring Festival approached, it had always been a trend of migrant workers returning to their hometown. Now that Zheng Shuying was going to resign, the grilled fish shop really couldn't recruit people to do the cleaning for a while.
Dong Yun also knew that this was her mother's stalling tactic, but she also knew that she couldn't push her too hard. In the past, it was because she was far away in the United States and couldn't do anything. Now that she was at home, she would nag in her ear when she had nothing to do. She had to persuade her to agree!
This was only the first step of Dong Yun's plan. Her ultimate goal was naturally to hope that her mother would follow her to live in the new city where she worked.
If she could get her mother to resign first, then she would be closer to the next step of her goal.
"Okay, you go back to the house and rest for a while!" Zheng Shuying said. "I'll go out to buy some food and make you a good meal tonight!"
Her daughter had been back for a few days. Because she worked during mealtimes, she didn't have a good meal with her daughter. Zheng Shuying's heart was full of guilt.
Today, she could take advantage of the half-day break that she was injured and make it up to her daughter.
"Mom, you're injured. Don't move!" Dong Yun said quickly. "I'll take care of dinner, okay?"
Zheng Shuying looked at her daughter with a faint smile and asked, "How are you going to take care of it? Call for takeout? Don't tell me that you've learned how to cook now … "
Dong Yun said with some embarrassment, "Actually, takeout is not bad now. It's quite formal. It's not as bad as you said … By the way, doesn't the grilled fish shop you work at also provide online ordering service?"
"Okay, okay!" Zheng Shuying said with a smile. "It's not a big deal. I'll cook tonight. You don't have to worry about it. You rest at home. I'm going to buy some food! "
"Okay! Then I'll have to trouble you, mom! "Dong Yun said with embarrassment.
After Zheng Shuying went out to buy food, Dong Yun went back to her room and turned on her computer. She clicked on the PC website of the Sanshan Evening News and couldn't help but click on the news on the front page to watch it again.
After the video was edited by the newspaper company, the process of Xia Ruofei's two consecutive quick reactions and the process of him catching the boiling hot stone pot with his bare hands was done in slow motion. Dong Yun was even more scared after watching it.
She couldn't imagine how serious the injury would have been if the stone pot had completely hit her mother's back.
Maybe then, her mother wouldn't have been able to go out to buy food and go home to cook with a slight injury. She might have even seen her mother in the hospital.
At the same time, Dong Yun was filled with gratitude towards this brave young man.
She was a little regretful. Although the reporter of the report had captured the scene, he couldn't confirm the young man's identity. At the end of the report, the reporter even mobilized netizens, hoping to use their discerning eyes to find this young man. They wanted to vigorously promote such positive energy.
Dong Yun scrolled to the back of the page and looked at the comments in the comment section.
Most of the comments were praises. Some said that the young man was agile, and some praised his subconscious reaction. In short, almost all of the comments were positive.
There were also a small number of netizens who questioned the management of the store. In fact, if the waiters and cleaners had cooperated, this accident could have been completely avoided.
After all, that kind of stone pot grilled fish was very hot. This showed that the grilled fish store didn't emphasize the employee's awareness of danger too much. The waiters were a little careless.
Dong Yun browsed the comment section with lingering fear in her heart. Suddenly, a comment caught her attention.
"Why does this back look so familiar? Everyone, compare the photos of the Taoyuan Company's annual party that were circulated two days ago. Doesn't he look like Boss Xia of the Taoyuan Company? "
Under this comment, many netizens expressed their opinions.
"What a coincidence! Boss Xia has been stealing too much attention these days, right? "
"I think so too. Downstairs, what do you think?"
"Upstairs, there must be something fishy about this …"
…
Dong Yun didn't find an exact answer in everyone's comments, so she simply followed the clues and found the post about the Taoyuan Company's annual party that was very popular on Weibo and forums a few days ago.
The photo of Xia Ruofei fishing for money was very eye-catching and had been mentioned many times. Dong Yun easily found this photo.
However, the photo taken at the annual party was separated by a glass room, and it was the side of Xia Ruofei's face.
The video taken by the reporter Yuan Xin was taken from behind. Other than the moment when Xia Ruofei stepped out to catch the stone pot, the rest of the video was basically with her back facing the camera.
Dong Yun compared it for a while. However, the screenshot wasn't very clear, and the image quality of the annual party photos wasn't very high. She thought it was a little similar, but like the netizens, she wasn't sure.
Dong Yun was full of questions. When it was dinner time, she couldn't help but ask Zheng Shuying, "Mom, the young man who saved you, do you know his name?"
Zheng Shuying's face had a trace of regret as she said, "I didn't even have time to ask for his name! At first, I was scared out of my wits. Later, after applying medicine, I recovered a little, but the two young men left quickly … "
"Oh …" Dong Yun was a little disappointed.
Zheng Shuying then suddenly said, "But I seem to remember that his female companion called his name. It was … something Fei?"
Dong Yun quickly asked, "Ruofei? Xia Ruofei? "
Zheng Shuying scratched her head and smiled bitterly. "My mind was in a mess at the time. I really can't remember … Xiao Yun, why are you asking this?"
"I think … He sacrificed himself to save others. We should at least express our gratitude!" Dong Yun said.
"That's true!" Zheng Shuying immediately said, "Then … Should I try to recall?"
Then, Dong Yun's mind suddenly flashed, and she came up with an idea.
Compared to the various guesses and analyses of the netizens, she didn't need to look for someone far away! The person involved was right in front of her! She didn't need to use the blurry annual meeting photo as a comparison!
Thinking of this, Dong Yun immediately took out her mobile phone and searched for Xia Ruofei's photo on the Internet.
It had to be said that the Internet greatly reduced the privacy of individuals, especially for someone like Xia Ruofei, who was considered half a public figure. Although he deliberately kept a low profile, there were still many photos circulating on the Internet, including the photos of him attending the press conference. Many of them were clear frontal photos from professional media reporters.
Dong Yun found a close-up photo and handed the mobile phone to Zheng Shuying. She asked, "Mom, take a good look. Is this him?"
Zheng Shuying only took a glance and immediately said, "That's right! Xiao Yun, this young man saved me today! "
"You … Are you sure? You don't need to think about it carefully? "Dong Yun asked." Didn't you say that your mind was a little messy at the time? "
"Definitely. This young man's eyes are very special. It's the kind of eyes that people can't forget once they see it," Zheng Shuying said. "Xiao Yun, do you know who he is? We should go and thank him … "
Dong Yun was deep in thought. She didn't answer Zheng Shuying's question, but smiled and said, "Mom, leave this to me! I'll go and thank him. "
"Then I have to go too! He saved me. If I don't show up, wouldn't it seem insincere? "Zheng Shuying was puzzled.
"No!" Dong Yun smiled and said, "Just leave it to me! I promise that I won't neglect your benefactor! "
"This child, why are you keeping me in suspense?" Zheng Shuying said, blaming her.
"Let's eat, let's eat!" Dong Yun changed the topic. "Mom, let me try the lychee meat that you made. I haven't had it in years …"
"Yes, yes, yes! You used to love the lychee meat that I made! " Zheng Shuying's attention was successfully diverted. She immediately put two big pieces of lychee meat into Dong Yun's bowl and said with a smile, "Try it and see if mom's cooking has deteriorated."
…
Night fell at Taoyuan Farm.
Xia Ruofei, who had accompanied Ling Qingxue for the whole day, drove back to his villa.
Although there was a little episode today, he was still very happy. He hadn't spent so much time shopping and chatting with his girlfriend for a long time.
The only fly in the ointment was that because of his injured hand, Ling Qingxue insisted that he check out of the hotel room that he had booked.
The two of them hadn't been intimate for a long time, so they had booked a hotel room early. They were going to shop outside until dinner, and then go to the hotel to have a good time after dinner.
However, from Ling Qingxue's point of view, Xia Ruofei's hand was badly burned, so it was obviously not suitable for strenuous exercise. So, no matter how Xia Ruofei begged, she was determined not to agree.
Xia Ruofei couldn't use the magical solution of the spirit flower petal to completely cure his injury in front of Ling Qingxue. That would be too surreal, and Ling Qingxue would be scared.
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.
Under Ling Qingxue's repeated reminders, Xia Ruofei drove back to the farm directly after dinner. Ling Qingxue was worried that it was inconvenient for him to drive with only one hand.
In fact, on the way back to the farm, Xia Ruofei quickly found a secluded place to park the car. From the Ring-Tu space, he took out a small bottle of the spirit flower petal solution with a higher concentration and completely cured the burn.
However, he still used gauze and bandages to wrap his hand. This was mainly to fool others. If Ling Qingxue came to the farm in the next two days and saw that his wound was completely healed, then it would be hard to explain.
Xia Ruofei parked the car and played with Little Hei, Lightning, and the others in the yard for a while. Then, he heard footsteps at the door.
"Ruofei, did you just come back?"
It was Feng Jing's voice. After dinner in the staff cafeteria, she had nothing to do, so she took a walk in the yard. She just happened to see Xia Ruofei's car drive into the villa from afar, so she simply walked over and wanted to tell him about the failure to recruit Dong Yun.
"Sister Jing!" Xia Ruofei said with some surprise, "Come in, come in!"
Little Hei and the others were very familiar with Feng Jing, so they didn't have any hostility towards her. Instead, they wagged their tails at Feng Jing.
"You guys go play by yourselves!" Xia Ruofei said as he patted Lightning's head.
Then he said to Feng Jing, "Sister Jing, I just came back from outside. How about we go in and have some tea together?"
