Chapter 184 Teacher Hu's Immersive Teaching

Xu Mingjuan turned around in surprise. Other military dependents might not know why the military organized this physical examination.

However, since she works in the logistics department of the military, she is quite sensitive to the policies of the military.

The doctor kept me behind alone, and it would be a lie to say I wasn't panicked.

Since the doctor only called her, Jiang Si and Hu Meili stayed in the corridor to wait for news.

About ten minutes later, Xu Mingjuan came out.

She looked blank, her eyes were glazed over, and she was still clutching the report tightly in her hand.

Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat.

But thinking about it, I feel it shouldn't be like this.

During this period, Sister Xu often came to our house for a short visit. Every time Jiang Si entertained her, she would add some spiritual spring water to the tea.

The fruits and vegetables given to her were all grown in the space.

She had already confirmed that the spiritual spring had a repairing effect on hidden injuries in the body, and that the effect was very good.

Xu Mingjuan was also confused at this moment.

Hu Meili's voice interrupted their thoughts, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Xu Mingjuan suddenly came to her senses, "It's nothing."

She glanced at the military dependents still queuing in the corridor for their check-ups and lowered her voice.

"Let's go outside and talk."

The three of them found a bench on a nearby tree-lined path and sat down.

Hu Meili hurriedly asked, "What exactly did the doctor say?"

Xu Mingjuan held the medical report in her hand, her tone somewhat incredulous.

"Dr. Jiang said... that all my health indicators were very good, and that I could stop taking the medications he prescribed before."

"That's a good thing." Jiang Sigang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But Xu Mingjuan's next words made her heart jump into her throat again.

She said, "But I stopped taking the medication more than a year ago."

Xu Mingjuan was a little embarrassed when she talked about it.

"For the first two years after the incident, I was stuck in the past and couldn't get out of it."

"Later, I heard from Dr. Jiang that it wasn't 100% impossible for me to have children; as long as I took good care of my body, I still had a chance."

“Since then, I have been drinking Chinese medicine like plain water every day, and Lao Lei’s advice is useless.”

"Actually, I know that Dr. Jiang was probably just trying to comfort me when he said that."

"At that time, I was quite stubborn and only wanted to have a child of my own."

"So I took Chinese medicine for two or three years, but it didn't work."

"Until last year, when Lao Lei was injured in the leg by an explosion during a mission, I finally came to terms with it."

"So what if we don't have children? As long as Lao Lei and I are doing well and living a good life, that's more important than anything else."

Unexpectedly, after stopping the medication for more than a year, her health actually improved.

For a moment, Xu Mingjuan didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.

Jiang Si deliberately changed the subject, saying that every medicine has some toxicity.

He then asked, "Sister-in-law, besides telling you to stop taking the medication, did Dr. Jiang say anything else?"

"She said that given my current physical condition, my chances of getting pregnant are much higher than before..."

Hu Meili was so happy she didn't know what to say.

From "possible" to "much higher," Xu Mingjuan, the person directly involved, witnessed firsthand how arduous the journey was, as well as her close friend's experience.

After a long pause, Hu Meili asked, "Really?"

“Really!” Xu Mingjuan nodded emphatically.

As soon as she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"This is a good thing, don't cry, don't cry—"

That's what she said, but Hu Meili's tears fell even harder than hers.

Jiang Si was just about to say a few words of comfort to them.

The next second, Hu Meili uttered something astonishing.

"Let me tell you, you can stop taking Chinese medicine, but you can't stop having sex. However, it shouldn't be too frequent either. It's best to do it every other day. This way, you can ensure both the quality and the quantity."

"After you're done, don't rush to clean up or take a shower. Just lie there with something underneath you, the higher the better."

"By the way, Mingjuan, when do you get your period each month? Let me calculate it for you."

When it comes to having children, Hu Meili is really worried sick for her best friend.

Xu Mingjuan looked shy, but the desire to have a child ultimately prevailed.

“My period has always been irregular. This month it started on the 13th and ended on the 20th.”

That means my period just ended a week ago.

Hu Meili's eyes lit up instantly. "Now is the perfect time! I'll teach you a few tricks, you can try them out when you get home tonight."

The next two minutes were 'Teacher Hu's' immersive teaching time.

"..."

Jiang Si was stunned.

Last time we already saw how fast 'Teacher Hu' could drive, but I never expected that this time 'Teacher Hu' would speed onto the highway without us even noticing.

No wonder the Chinese, who are conservative throughout their lives, have been able to produce a population of 1.4 billion!

She was only stunned for a short while when Hu Meili turned her head to look at her.

Seeing this, Jiang Si knew that 'Teacher Hu' was going to take her to the car!

Sure enough, when Hu Meili spoke again, it was now, "Let me tell you two, having a child can't rely on men alone; we have to find a way ourselves..."

Although there was no one around, Jiang Si and Xu Mingjuan heard what was said behind them.

Her face turned red instantly.

It's clear that 'Teacher Hu's' driving speed has already reached a level unsuitable for children.

Jiang Si cleared her throat twice and then said, "I think mindset is also very important."

After saying that, she looked at Xu Mingjuan and said, "Sister-in-law, since Dr. Jiang has said so, don't be too nervous."

"Keep a good mood and be happy every day, and the baby will come naturally."

“Yes, that’s what I think too.” Xu Mingjuan smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Hu Meili nodded in agreement.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Si-meizi, have you finished your work?"

During this period, Jiang Si rarely went out. Apart from occasionally visiting her third uncle in the fishing village, she spent most of her time at home painting.

She calculated the time and said, "It should be finished in about two more days."

"That's good." Hu Meili was relieved.

She smiled and said, "You've been here for so long but haven't really been to the beach even once. There's a high tide at the end of the month, so let's all go together."

Jiang Si: "Going beachcombing?"

Hu Meili: "Yes, go there, wade in the water, dig in the sand, and look for small crabs and seashells. With the sea breeze blowing, all the stress will disappear."

Xu Mingjuan also thought the suggestion was excellent, and she added a comment.

"It would be best to bring a small stove along, so we can catch and cook the seafood fresh. What do you think?"

Jiang Si nodded vigorously; she thought it was excellent!

As soon as she got home, she started counting the things she needed to bring for her beachcombing trip.

You definitely need to wear rain boots when you go to the beach, otherwise you might step on a broken seashell and ruin your foot.

You also need to bring a sun hat, because you can see how strong the ultraviolet rays are at the beach just by looking at Uncle San.

She had tried to persuade her third uncle and Uncle Zhong before, but they wouldn't listen.

As a result, in less than twenty days after arriving on Qiongzhou Island, the two of them had already turned a dark brown.

It's not a big problem for men to get a tan.

She can't.

Although she doesn't get tanned easily, it's better to be safe than sorry.

You should also wear thicker work gloves.

Otherwise, you might get pinched when catching crabs.

Next up are the metal buckets and burlap sacks. With so many of them, they can definitely fill a whole sack with each digging.

I didn't bring enough; there's not enough room!

Jiang Si hesitated for a moment between the small shovel and the small rake, and finally stuffed them both into the sack.

This makes digging for clams and razor clams very convenient.

When it came to digging for razor clams, Jiang Si brought her salt jar with her.

Then came the iron hook and fire tongs.

Sea urchins and octopuses like to hide in deep crevices under the rocks.

Without these two tools, you can't get it out by hand.

Finally, bringing a small knife and rope should be enough.

Whether or not one can catch seafood while beachcombing is completely outside of Jiang Si's considerations.

It's okay if she doesn't have any. She'll just smuggle some out from her space for everyone to catch, and I guarantee everyone will have a good time.
