CHAPTER 592: CHAPTER 592: FATED TO SURVIVE

However, none of them received investment support, nor any technical support, so there were not many families who could build vegetable greenhouses.

There is also an interesting piece of news. Other villages that have built vegetable greenhouses, upon investigation, most have relatives in Qin Family Village.

Even so, this is a good sign of economic growth.

It is worth mentioning that this year the vegetable greenhouses in Qin Family Village are more diverse.

In addition to various vegetables, there are also strawberries, watermelons, melons, etc.

Wang Cheng has negotiated a collaboration with a storage company in the capital, so the fruits and vegetables from Qin Family Village’s greenhouses are directly delivered there to enrich the capital’s vegetable basket.

Although Lin Chuxia had already heard this from Wang Cheng over the phone, hearing Qin Han lively recount it still brings excitement.

The capital’s vegetable basket; the Qin Family Village has been vegetable farmers for generations, and this is the first time they have received such high praise and honor.

.....................

As the weather gets warmer day by day, Zhuang Jingshu’s health gradually improves.

By the fourth treatment cycle, Old Sir He no longer needs to visit her, instead, Zhuang Yang brings her to Old Sir He for follow-up and to adjust the prescription.

Old Sir He checks her pulse and is surprised by her recovery, even sneaking a glance at his little apprentice.

However, he doesn’t say much, just tells Lin Chuxia to bring pen and paper to write the prescription.

Once the prescription is written, it is directly handed to Zhuang Yang for him to fetch the medicine.

Now Zhuang Yang is not a novice anymore; he takes the prescription and goes to the usual pharmacy to get the medicine.

Ms. Zhuang takes the opportunity to ask Old Sir He about her condition.

"It’s not that I don’t want to follow the doctor’s advice; it’s just that I have some private matters when I returned to the country. Previously, when I was seriously ill, I thought I would take my wish to the grave, but didn’t expect a turnaround like this. Old Sir He, you are my savior."

Old Sir He waved his hand, "Treating and saving people is a doctor’s responsibility. Your illness improving is also your fortune, your life shouldn’t end yet."

"You are modest, Sir. No matter what, now that my illness is greatly improved, I also want to take care of my own business. Just wondering if it’s possible. It’s not a risk-taking matter, just need to leave Yan City for a few days."

Old Sir He thought for a moment and replied, "A few days is not a problem. Just pay attention to the precautions I mentioned, and take your medicine on time."

Upon hearing this from Old Sir He, Ms. Zhuang’s eyes shined, "Alright, Sir. I’ll be gone one or two days and will return then. I’ve remembered all your advice."

One who has faced despair and regained the chance to live will cherish life more than before.

Whether abroad or during the time back home, Ms. Zhuang thought she was really going to die.

Now she truly feels alive again.

She still has many things unfinished, although she had accepted meeting her end with regrets.

Yet, when given the chance, who would wish to leave such regrets?

That has been her unsolved issue for over twenty years.

She then said to Lin Chuxia, "I have to trouble Miss Lin to prepare the Chinese medicine for the next few days, as I’m really not good at it."

"I can prepare it, but how do we preserve it? Chinese medicine can’t be stored for long, or it might spoil and cause not just loss of efficacy, but possibly side effects," Lin Chuxia reminded.

"That’s easy to solve, I have a small fridge in my car as well, just put it there," then she asked Lin Chuxia, "Is that okay?"

If there’s a fridge, it’s fine.

Lin Chuxia thought of Ms. Zhuang’s compact car, originally imported.

Couldn’t help but sigh; for now, regarding household appliances or the automotive industry, foreign technology still prevails. Cars even have fridges.

Know that her Jeep doesn’t even have air conditioning, naturally, no heating in winter either, it’s the type that’s cold in winter and hot in summer.

Also, her Jeep has a canvas top; suffering in the big winter, apart from the great off-road performance, the comfort level is really far behind.

Once she is financially better off, she should replace it with a more comfortable car.

Heard the latest Santana has air conditioning installed.

There’s a saying, with a Santana, you can travel the world without fear.

Before long, Zhuang Yang returned with the medicine and Lin Chuxia prepared three doses.

Zhuang Jingshu asked Zhuang Yang to visit the department store to buy several large-capacity bottles or cups with screw caps.

Before Zhuang Yang left, Lin Chuxia reminded him, if really unavailable, buy orange soda.

Don’t underestimate the requirement for screw caps, this year it’s really hard to find.

There are no ready-made empty bottles, and money can’t buy any either. Cups now are all enamel mugs or glass cups, neither of which is sealable.

The only available screw cap is on thermos bottles.

Current thermos bottles are small; to fit three days’ worth of medicine, dozens wouldn’t be enough, and a compact car fridge might not fit.

Sure enough, Zhuang Yang returns soon with five bottles of orange soda, explaining, "Miss Lin was right, the department store really doesn’t have sealable cups. If not for her reminder, I would have returned empty-handed."

Ms. Zhuang was a bit surprised, "Is this technology difficult?"

Though she had been back in the country for some time, she hadn’t really looked outside.

The items she used were mostly those she brought back and used often, and any needs, the research office provided the best.

She hadn’t paid attention to these.

Lin Chuxia lightly smiled, "Difficult, it’s not difficult, but currently, it seems our people haven’t had such demand yet. As living standards improve, I believe related products will gradually emerge; where there’s a need, there’s a market."

Currently, people’s water consumption at home utilizes a big teacup, some not even particular about drinking boiled water.

Especially in summer, scooping half a gourd of water from the water jar solves thirst.

Even when going out, water from field watering sources, river flowing water, or asking hospitably at a villager’s home, water from their well is drank freely.

Thriftier ones buy a military canteen, which is decent.

It’s just because they’re filling Chinese medicine, military canteens are metal-made, worry about reactions, need glass products.

Otherwise, who would spend money on these things, people aren’t really affluent.

Zhuang Jingshu looked at her, slightly smiled approvingly, "Miss Lin certainly has business acumen. You’re right; demand creates market. But knowing future demand, isn’t getting ahead of the market acquiring the advantage? I know Miss Lin has a commercial talent. I’m considering investing in the domestic market now that I’m back. Until now I haven’t decided where to invest, if Miss Lin is interested, I’d be happy to partner with you."
