The next day, both Wang Jiexiang and Yin Xian asked for leave from their work units.
He accompanied her to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for registration and had a detailed eye examination.
The final diagnosis came out and it was temporary night blindness.
No family genetic history, no retinal rod cell lesions, acquired vitamin A deficiency, a balanced diet and vitamin A supplementation are recommended.
After listening to the doctor's condition analysis, Wang Jiexiang finally had a smile on his face.
Walking out of the hospital holding Yin Xian's arm, she raised her head and smiled brightly at him: "Haha, I'm fine now."
"It's too early to be happy." Rubbing her forehead hair, Yin Xian said, "We need to supplement vitamins."
It's rare that they didn't go to work, and they turned to the vegetable market together on the way home to buy vegetables.
Yin Xian saw a vendor selling yellow croaker, and asked Wang Jiexiang if he wanted to eat it.
She shook her head and whispered in his ear: "I can bring seafood back, don't buy it."
For seafood, Wang Jiexiang only eats poor-quality seafood picked up from the factory, because it is free.
They walked a few more steps and saw a pork stand.
"I'm going to buy some meat, and stew carrot ribs soup tonight."
Just as Yin Xian was about to take a step, Wang Jiexiang grabbed him: "I ate meat not long ago, so I can't eat meat this month."
Meat is expensive, she is silently calculating and controlling the number of times they buy meat a month.
"So, don't eat meat, what do you want to eat?"
"Scrambled eggs, vinegared cabbage..."
He interrupted her: "No wonder the doctor said, you don't have a balanced diet."
If this continues, they will still buy the usual ingredients, Yin Xian deprived Wang Jiexiang of the right to choose dishes.
He dragged her to the pork stall, bought ribs and pork liver from the boss; then went back to the previous seafood stall, and bought a beautiful, lively yellow croaker.
Wang Jiexiang asked Yin Xian not to buy it, and he went to the vegetable stand with a handful of vegetables and a large bag of carrots.
Yin Xian had his hands full and was quite satisfied with his shopping results.
—When did they have such a rich meal, what a waste of money.
She took a light bag, with a puffy expression on her face: "You will be happy if you play against me, right?"
He looked at her and nodded: "Yes."
Since Wang Jiexiang was diagnosed with night blindness, Yin Xian would always pick her up at the uphill of the village in the city when she got off work at night.
Because of this illness, one day she made a joke again.
Wang Jiexiang mistook the plastic bag thrown in the grass for a rabbit.
Before Yin Xian regarded the salamander as a mouse, he could remember how long he had been laughed at by her, but this time it was her turn to look away, Yin Xian naturally made fun of her vigorously.
Wang Jiexiang, who likes rabbits very much, reacted very angry with him and didn't talk to him all night.
The next day, Yin Xian mentioned to her: "Let's raise a rabbit."
Unexpectedly, Wang Jiexiang disagreed.
She said they had no money or time to raise a good rabbit.
She has a point.
Yin Xian was able to spend money to improve one or two meals for the family, but that still couldn't change the fact that they were poor.
Their salaries at this level are only enough for daily expenses in big cities.
The doctor suggested dietary supplementation with vitamin A, but Wang Jiexiang didn't like radishes. Even if she just added some carrots to the soup, she would eat it with a sad face. Yin Xian wanted to buy a juicer, Wang Jiexiang liked to drink juice, maybe she could accept carrot juice.
He went to the supermarket to see a suitable juicer, and looked at its price, and he left in despair.
— No money, no money.
Recently, Yin Xian began to think more and more frequently: should he change his job
The purpose of doing insurance is to learn sales skills and provide experience for doing business in the future. He didn't plan to stay in this business for a long time.
In recent months, the business has not been doing well, and the salary he got was pitifully low. To maintain customers and meet new customers, he needs to invest money to give gifts and socialize with others.
Wang Jiexiang didn't discuss with him about the way to go in the future, and Yin Xian didn't take the initiative to tell her his thoughts.
She goes to the seafood factory to do physical work every day, and she is not afraid of poverty and hardship; she loves to drink enough water, and it seems that everything will be fine if she can be with him.
However, Yin Xian couldn't stop his anxiety, the money came too slowly.
Have the social skills you have honed over the years reached proficiency? Should we try another environment
The idea of changing jobs lingered in his mind, and Yin Xian couldn't sleep at night, and suffered from insomnia day and night.
In the middle of the night, Wang Jiexiang turned over, and the bed next to her was cold.
She opened her eyes in a daze, sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.
The door of the house was opened, and she walked over barefoot, and saw Yin Xian squatting outside with a cigarette in his hand.
His back has an indescribable sense of loneliness.
He supported his head with one hand and held a cigarette in the other. The cigarette was burning, but he didn't smoke it.
Is Yin Xian staring at something opposite? In Wang Jiexiang's eyes, there was nothing but meaningless darkness, and she couldn't see anything.
She looked at him quietly, it was difficult to describe the feeling in her heart.
It seemed that because of his loneliness, she couldn't help being lonely too.
She didn't know he was a smoker, like she never knew why he hated hospitals so much.
She didn't know what he was worrying about, and she didn't know if she could help him.
Yin Xian never asked her for help.
They stay together every day, have a lot of time, and can talk countless things.
Even though she could see that he was tired, he never talked to her. Is it his character? Or, is she not the right person to confide in? He never said love, miss, trouble, or tired to her... let alone ask for help.
With a strange depression in her heart, Wang Jiexiang turned around and walked back to the bed.
Halfway there, she suddenly regretted it.
The footsteps deliberately made a sound on the floor, and she set aside time to arrive at the door slowly.
Pretending to just wake up, Wang Jiexiang yawned big and pushed open the door.
Yin Xian's cigarette has been pinched.
"Why are you awake?" he asked.
Her voice was vague: "You woke up when you were not here."
"I just went out to use the toilet."
Yin Xian smiled at her.
"Come inside, it's cold outside."
The two lay back on the bed, and he turned off the light.
Wang Jiexiang turned around and turned her back to him. After waiting for a while, she confirmed that Yin Xian didn't intend to talk to her, so she gave up the idea of asking him.
"Hug me," she told him.
Yin Xian turned over and put his arms around her waist.
Wang Jiexiang grabbed his hand.
— How long has the wind been blowing, your hands are so cold.
She closed her eyes and tried her best to warm him up.
…
On the date of salary payment this month, Yin Xian brought a juicer home.
He said it was the juice extractor in the unit, which had been left unused for more than half a year. The leader asked him if he wanted it, and he took it back.
Wang Jiexiang was so happy from ear to ear.
"No one uses such a good juicer!"
She had the four characters "violent waste" written on her face, and she was very happy to welcome it into the house.
After all, it used to be a public item. Wang Jiexiang used a lot of detergent to clean it inside and out, and polished it with a cloth until it was shiny.
While wiping, she sighed: "No one really uses it, the juicer is so clean."
Yin Xian took some radishes from home and taught her how to extract juice from the juicer.
When the first glass of carrot juice was made, he handed her the glass.
Wang Jiexiang gave it a lot of face, raised her head, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wow—" She stuck out her tongue and wrinkled her whole face.
"Why this expression?" Yin Xian frowned and asked, "Isn't it delicious?"
She said honestly, "It's not my taste."
Diligently washing the remaining carrots in the cup, Wang Jiexiang did not lose interest in the juicer.
"Well, let's squeeze something else to drink."
"No, you have to drink carrot juice."
Yin Xian snatched her cup, pressed the start button, and continued to put carrots into the machine.
"Why?"
Wang Jiexiang looked at the cup unwillingly.
The carrot was smashed into pieces, and in a blink of an eye, another half cup was filled.
"This machine can only squeeze carrots." Yin Xian lied without changing his face.
Wang Jiexiang's eyes on the juicer suddenly turned into disgust.
"...it's so broken, no wonder no one in your unit uses it."
that's all.
Squeezing carrot juice has become a regular event that Yin Xian must do every day.
At first, he tried to force Wang Jiexiang to drink.
For example, verbal threats: If you don’t drink, I won’t sleep together today; If you don’t drink, I won’t talk to you today; If you don’t drink, I won’t pick you up today...
For example, physical temptation: you can hug me casually today after you drink, and I won’t push you away; you can sleep on my arm tonight after drinking; you can kiss you after drinking...
Verbal threats, if not harsh enough, may arouse Wang Jiexiang's rebellious psychology.
She resisted, and the carrot juice ended up in his mouth.
Physical temptation, this one is easy to use, and I almost never miss it.
The only difficult thing is that over time, Wang Jiexiang will start to bargain with Yin Xian, asking for more and more excessive benefits.
Yin Xian is not the kind of person who has discussions with her, he is thinking about how to deal with her.
One day, Wang Jiexiang refused to drink carrot juice unless Yin Xian called her "little sweetheart" all day long.
He did not agree to her terms.
Wang Jiexiang covered her mouth with both hands and threatened to "break the carrot juice".
"Since you are so determined, don't drink if you don't drink."
He smiled lightly and left the house holding the juicer.
In her presence, he poured all the squeezed carrot juice into the ditch in front of the door.
"you you."
Wang Jiexiang pointed at him, fingers trembling: "Carrots are bought with money, and the juicer consumes electricity! Our electricity bill is so expensive every month! You are such a waste!"
Yin Xian shrugged: "If you don't drink, what can I do?"
"..."
She solemnly warned him: "Don't make an example, don't squeeze it tomorrow!"
The next day, Yin Xian got up early as usual.
Woke up by the "click" sound of carrots smashing, Wang Jiexiang said to him angrily.
"You know I don't drink, right? You squeeze yourself to drink."
After pressing the power off button, Yin Xian only replied one word.
"oh."
She watched him pick up the juicer and walk out of the house again.
Desperate Yin Xian!
"Don't fall!"
Wang Jiexiang stopped him sharply: "Where is my cup? I want to drink it!"
"Okay, let's drink."
The demon Yin Xian quickly filled a whole glass of carrot juice for her.
"Not enough and more."
Successfully tried out a way to make Wang Jiexiang take vitamin A obediently, Yin Xian saved a lot of trouble every day.
Not to mention, this carrot juice, Wang Jiexiang was not used to drinking it at first, but after drinking it, she accepted the taste, and the more she drank it, the more she liked it.
Not only does she drink it in the morning, but she also has to fill a thermos at work and take it to the factory to drink.
A colleague asked her what she drank so happily.
Wang Jiexiang answered them: "Delicious carrot juice, my boyfriend squeezed it himself."
